Give your community
a reason to drop in

Make World Drummer Day part of your store’s calendar. Bring local drummers and percussionists together with an offer, a workshop, or a little live music.

Find an idea for your store

Choose your way
to celebrate.

Start with something your team can comfortably organise. You choose the format, products, and terms.

A special offer

Create a discount or a bundle for drummers and percussionists. An 11% discount is one way to connect your offer to the date — it’s an idea, not a requirement.

A workshop or demo

Invite a teacher, demonstrate a kit, or let customers try instruments and compare sounds. Give people something new to learn.

A community session

Host a short performance, an open jam, or a meet-up for local players. Make your store a place where the drum community connects.

From an idea
to August 11.

  1. Pick a format

    Choose an offer or event that works for your store and your community.

  2. Make the date clear

    Use “World Drummer Day — August 11” in your announcement. Add the year, time, and any terms people need to know.

  3. Spread the word

    Tell customers through your website, social channels, or in-store displays. Link to Drummerday.org so they can discover the idea behind the date.

  4. Share how it went

    Post a few photos or a short story afterwards. Ask people for permission before sharing their images.

August 11

Start with your own community.

You can organise a celebration independently — no registration is needed. Set your own offer terms and make them clear to customers. Simply taking part does not imply an official partnership or endorsement.

Good questions.

Is an 11% discount required?

No. A discount is one option. A demo, lesson, performance, or another offer can also be a way to celebrate.

Do we need to register?

No. You can start by announcing and organising your own August 11 celebration.

Will our store be listed here?

There is no public store directory yet. Participation does not automatically create a listing or guarantee a feature.

See you on August 11.

Save the date. Share the beat.
