Drumathon Origin

DrumathonLIVE is a charity event created by UK musicians Errol Kennedy and Bev Sage in 2020, originally to raise funds for the NHS during the first Covid 19 lockdown, following the first nationwide clap for NHS workers. Errol, best known as the drummer with the multi platinum band Imagination, drummed non-stop for 24 hours to raise money and awareness for the NHS. Not resting there, Errol and Bev inspired a further twenty internationally renowned drummers to pick up their sticks on May 7th and play a non-stop drumming relay that lasted 10 days clocking up over 250 hours! In this drumming first, the team of world-class drummers, who’ve beaten drums for the likes of Stevie Wonder, Simple Minds, Craig David, The Feeling and many others, united to celebrate the nation’s frontline heroes. The result? More than £45,000 was raised by #DrumForNHS contributing towards the overall ?130 million raised for NHS Charities Together 2020.

One year on in May 2021 Errol and Bev organised DrumathonLIVE 2021, a 24/7 7 day drumming marathon featuring some of the planets’ best know drummers. In all, fifty drumming legends completed a continuous seven day event which feature drummers from bands like Cold Play, Hans Zimmer, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Elton John, Madonna, Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Ride, Tenpole Tudor . . . the list goes on. Raising funds for five important children’s mental health charities DrumathonLIVE 2021 #drum4mentalhealth established DrumathonLIVE as a regular event and paved the way for the next chapter,

Now, get ready for DrumathonLIVE 2022 our most ambitious drumming event yet, and probably the biggest single drumming event ever! Taking place from May 14th-21st, for 2022 we are extending the reach of DrumathonLIVE to a far bigger audience to allow us to raise even more funds for our charities, The Anna Freud Centre, Child Bereavement UK, The National Trauma Council and The Variety Club of Great Britain. As 2020 and 2021, 2022 will again feature around fifty of the worlds big name drummers playing from between 2 and 24 hours, all broadcast live on our website. New for 2022 we have invited over 20,000 UK schools to get involved by creating their own sponsored drumming events to happen the same week. We are also inviting 1,000 amateur and semi-pro drummers across the country to create their own DrumathonLIVE event and broadcast their efforts on social media. We want to saturate social media with DrumathonLIVE drummers. To take part simply go to out registration page, fill out the form and download a pack.
