Drummathon 2025 Recap - Breast Cancer Can Stick It!

Drummathon 2025

NOV 22025

For our eighth Drummathon in a row, we exceeded $50,000 in funds raised! In fact, Drummathon 2025 blew all other Drummathon's out of the water, raising a spectacular $73,273 in the fight against breast cancer!! Our 11th Annual Drummathon was our FIRST EVER to be held at the fabulous Lexus Box Garden at Legacy Hall in Plano, TX. Legacy Hall, located in Plano, TX, is a premier dining and entertainment destination known for the Lexus Box Garden - a popular outdoor entertainment venue, boasting a large stage with an LED screen, accommodating over 1,500 people. This is the heart of Legacy Hall's live entertainment. Adjacent to the venue is a three-story, 55,000-square-foot European-style food hall which combines a diverse culinary experience with live music and a craft brewery, which made it easy for attendees to enjoy yummy food and top-tier music and entertainment all at the same time.The event featured several exciting experiences such as "More Cowbell" sponsored by GM Designs. We held our first-ever Drummathon Celebrity Drum Clinic, special for all fundraisers who raised over $500. The clinic featured Keio Stroud (Big & Rich), Lori Peters (Skillet), Johnny Kelly (Quiet Riot) and David Walters (local clinician). The Dallas Mavericks Drumline made their fifth Drummathon appearance, which is always a crowd favorite! Drummathon 2025 also saw the return of Matt Starr who was one of our guests for the first ever Drummathon in 2015. Newcomers Zoro (Lenny Kravitz) and Jake Sommers (Luke Combs) joined us at their first-ever Drummathon, adding them to an already star-studded alumni. Last but not least, we debuted the Breast Cancer Can Stick It! bus for our celebrities comfort. The event closed out with an All-star Jam hosted by Rockaholics which featured local and national celebrity performances.

Drummathon 2025 - which was presented by Lexus Box Garden at Legacy Hall and in association with Roland - was also the perfect opportunity to unveil the newly branded Rock Candy: The Official Breast Cancer Can Stick It! Band - available for bookings year-round.

Drummathon Highlights

What is Drummathon?

Drummathon is an annual family-friendly fundraising event that brings together the drumming community (of all skill sets and ages) for one common goal: to fight breast cancer.

As Drummathon works to fight breast cancer, it is also a celebration of life, music, and passion! Top fundraising drummers have the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of family, friends and attendees! The event also features auctions, Official Breast Cancer Can Stick It! merchandise and Drummathon gear, along with some great musical guests throughout the event. It's fun for the whole family! Leading up to the event, drummers, musicians, and friends alike raise funds online to compete for a plethora of awesome prizes.

The 2015 inaugural event was hosted by Dan Shinder of Drum Talk TV and featured rock star royalty; drummers Carmine Appice (Ozzy, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven & Hell), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Bang Tango, Mr. Big). Since that time, the celebrity alumni list has grown exponentially.

Drummathon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase your talent and help eradicate breast cancer at the same time -- an experience that can't be beat!
