12 Drummers Drumming

Raven Drum invited a stellar group of world class drummers, Veterans, first responders and supporters to the beautiful Amazing Grace estate to experience the magic of a drum circle, led by founders Rick Allen and Lauren Monroe. The event was a celebration of the healing benefits of music and community.

The program was filmed and highlights will be included in Musicians On Call’s Veterans Day virtual concert provided to VA hospitals across the country. The full 30-minute program will be offered exclusively to the VA from 11/11 to 12/12 and will culminate in a live zoom call with Rick, Lauren, and special guests. Following that, it will be available across multiple channels and on our partner sites. Thank you to our generous sponsors The Kampf Family, The Fox Family, REMO drums, and The Sessions.

The 2022 ‘12 Drummers Drumming’ auction will commence at noon PT at 12drummers.givesmart.com. Please visit the link to register to receive updates!

Today is the anniversary of my first show after the accident

Today is the anniversary of my first show after the accident. (The big return at Donington was a little later, but today was the actual first run!)/h2>

It took a lot to get where we are now – and my wife Lauren has been a big part of my support system along the way. Today, Lauren has new music for you – her latest single “Void Of Course” – and I ask that you give it a listen and share! https://laurenmonroe.ffm.to/voidofcourse<
