Project WDD and ambitions:          

World Drummers' Day is a non-commercial project, initiated by Christian Schages and his both drum schools in Germany, that are called Schlagzeugschule Krefeld and Schlagzeugschule Rheinberg.

We want to establish a day of glory for all drummers and percussionists all over the world every year on 04th April.

First of all we need much more likes on our facebook sites, followers at Instagram amd in our own created Apps, to acquire supporters for this project.

Everyone of you may and should celebrate WDD e.g. with (public) motto parties in your home town.

We soon want WDD to be celebrated by everyone everywhere in the world individualy - but not commercial.

But please notice and accept these conditions.

You may also use the material from the Download-Server for your advertisement.

I would be happy to get some feedback and to read about your ideas in the forefront.

Thank you for supporting World Drummers' Day!

PRESS RELEASE: World Drummers' Day 2024

April 4th is International World Drummers' Day

Dear TV channels,

dear radio stations,

dear editors,

dear media/partners,

dear editorial team,

Thursday, April 4th, 2024 is now the 11th World Drummers' Day! We have already made good progress in our goal of establishing this day of honor for drummers and percussionists every year on April 4th and are continuing to work on making it even better known. The date 04.04. is symbolic of the probably most frequently played rhythm, the 4/4 time.

Maybe you would like to dedicate a report to this day or plan an interview with me as the inventor of World Drummer Day? –Speak to me, I would be happy to answer your questions.

At least it would be nice if you could name and describe our non-commercial project, "World Drummer Day" (WDD), in your medium and/or publish a corresponding post on your social media channels.

We also invite everyone to join in because “drumming brings people together”, the interaction creates a “natural high and can significantly move and connect humanity”. This emerges from a study by the University of Oxford. That's why our message for everyone who wants to take part: Let's get started right away. Drum as hard as you can, upload your videos now, a photo, picture, poem or something else creative will do. In any case, please tag your works with these hashtags:

#WorldDrummersDay #WorldDrummersDay #LetMusicAndRhythmRuleTheWorld

Express request to everyone who wants to support us: Just join in and connect with us on Facebook or Instagram - the more people join in and let the community grow, the better!

So that your post can actually be found and spread, please remember the hashtags above. Because especially under the hashtag #WorldDrummersDay you can also find contributions from abroad, for example even from Africa! –Because World Drummers’ Day is now celebrated there every year too.

And what else is there?

a) Lasered Drumsticks: You can get drumsticks lasered with your (band) name and the words of World Drummer Day at a cheaper price. You can order them from the BandShop, which is known throughout Germany. The link here can also be found in the official World Drummer Day app “WDD-German” in the Play Store. You can find an overview of all promotional offers and further information about the project on our homepage.

b) Fan Shop: A non-profit fan shop with various merchandise items for World Drummers' Day has been opened in order to make the project even better known and to give all sympathizers the opportunity to better identify with us to make the project possible. 

c) In Africa: There have been public celebrations of World Drummers' Day in Africa for many years and this year, to mark World Drummers' Day, there was a performance at the National Universities Commission NUC Hall in Abuja (pop. 2.7 million), the capital of Nigeria (pop. over 213 million). residents) under the same motto and in friendly coordination. The special guest of honor will be Her Excellency, Senator Dr. Oluremi Tinubu CON, the First Lady of Nigeria, attended the event. See poster at

Here is some further information, especially for editorial teams:

Incidentally, World Drummer Day has also been on Wikipedia for a few years and is regularly supported by print media, TV or radio contributions, as well as individuals and followers of our project. The German press agency dpa also offered an interview for radio stations last year. World Drummer Day has been around since 2013, the project itself comes from Krefeld, is non-commercial and is now nationally known to the music scene, as well as more or less well-known in neighboring countries from the specialist press, radio and television. Due to the most frequently played 4/4 rhythm, it takes place annually on April 4th (04/04) and will be organized online again this year by me and my two drum schools, namely the Krefeld drum school and the Rheinberg drum school. In recent years there has been response from several countries, most recently a radio interview in Switzerland and even some WST (Weltschlagzeugertag-) events, videos and postings from Africa, which show that World Drummer Day - or better known there by its English name, World Drummers' Day was celebrated vigorously. This year, World Drummers' Day will once again take place entirely on social media. We are looking forward to it and wish everyone a “Happy World Drummers’ Day!” on April 4th!

Questions and Interviews:
