International Drum Month has been celebrated since 1996 according to PlayDrums.com. Drums (and other percussion instruments) are said to be among the oldest instruments in human history. In 2014, PlayDrums.com decided to switch International Drum Month to May 2014, so this page is either late or early.

 Here are some links that lead to some interesting facts and trivia regarding drums:

Drum Quiz (Drum Nuts) - Actually a series of quizzes to test your knowledge about parts of a drum set, different types of drums, famous drummers, and other drum-related subjects.
