National Hug a Drummer Day History:

We could not trace back the origin year or time of National Hug Your Drummer Day. Be that as it may, do we really need to know when the day got invented? Don’t we all know, how much effort, zeal, and energy those drummers put on the stage to make us rave? Maybe with all the spotlight on the singer or guitarist, some of us forget about the drummer who is also contributing to keeping it all in sync. So, why shouldn’t we all voluntarily celebrate this day and encourage others to do the same without thinking about the relevance of the origin of this day?

Why did we Love National Hug A Drummer Day

Don’t Understand the Drummers

Drummers are sometimes seen as rough, inept, and unmelodic. However, research reveals that their agility and synchronization rival that of any musician, and they actually outperform many other kinds of performers in abstract thinking and problem-solving. However, it shouldn’t be so shocking, considering the fact that drummers had to play through so many instruments in the drumming kit simultaneously, which wouldn’t have been possible if they weren’t incredibly talented!

Drummers are subjected to hardship as a result of their profession.

Drumming is the most taxing on one’s physical health of any musical instrument. Hearing problems are quite common: According to research conducted by the Percussive Arts Society, more than half of professional drummers suffer from tinnitus. Carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and torn tendons are also common among drummers.

Pay attention to drummers

Drummers, although playing an important role in mainstream music, generally make less money, have fewer performance and composition credits, and attain less public recognition.   They definitely are deserving of more attention!

So, without further ado, let’s get to hugging those drummers, shall we?
