November 2009 is International Drum Month. Sponsored annually by the Percussion Marketing Council the intent of International Drum Month is to promote programs that bring increased awareness of drumming. It is thought that by doing so it will make more people want to become drummers. In the past the drum arena was mostly left to the guys. This has changed in recent years. According to a 2006 survey that was done by the Percussion Marketing Council over 50% of people who play the drums are girls instead of guys!

International Drum Month is celebrating its 14th year with a special program to serve two specific purposes: create more new drummers and provide an incentive to have them go into their local music store or drum shop.

Future drummers will have the opportunity to receive a free Beginner’s Package, which includes a pair of drumsticks and an instructional book or DVD for beginners. The instructional materials are provided by PMC Members, Alfred Publishing, Hal Leonard Publishing, and Hudson Music. The coupon is available in a number of consumer magazines or by visiting the organization’s website, http://www.playdrums.com.

Here are a few more websites you can visit for more information on some of the events for this year's International Drum Month:
