The hi
story of National Drumming Day: This special day was created by the proprietors of Drumming.com. Upon building this website, it was realized that there was no special day particularly for drumming. There were ‘months’ dedicated to percussion but not one particular day that we could call our own. It only seemed fitting that we designate that official day. Not to be outdone by National Coffee Day and National Cheeseburger Day (yup, you heard right), DRUMMING can now join the ranks of “official” days on the national calendar. Drummers… grab your drum and let’s go!
