For 24 hours non-stop, the walls of Daniel’s Spectrum in Toronto reverberated with the sounds of rhythmic drumming from the members of the Muhtadi International Drumming Festival (MIDF ), the Toronto Brazilian Samba band, TDot Batu and other organizations and individuals.
Drummers of different skill levels and experience combined their talents to produce what the organizers of the fund-raising event – Parkinson Canada and MIDF -called a Drum- a-thon which started at five p.m. on Friday and went on until Saturday at 5 p.m. And the enthusiasm of the performers never waned.
The event attracted hundreds of well-wishers and it was all done for a ” worthy cause” as the organizers of the event proudly noted.
Proceeds of the Drum-a-thon will be shared between Parkinson Canada and the MIDF.
