The Band is Back and expanded for The UK Drum Show 2025
With Even More Song Choices!


Your old favourite songs, on your new favourite gear.

The UK Drum Show 2025 is delighted to welcome back Drumaoke – in association with Mapex, Paiste and Vater – one of the most loved interactive features of the show.

First launched in 2017 by Dan Humphries and Marie Batchelder, Drumaoke returns for its seventh year with the band ready to back you live on stage for an unforgettable experience in the heart of the exhibition floor:

  • Marie – MC & Vocals
  • Dan – Bass Guitar
  • Ashley – Guitar & Vocals
  • And please welcome Gareth – Keyboards, expanding the setlist and bringing even more choice of song types for you to play along with!

What is Drumaoke?


Drumaoke is your chance to step onto the drum throne and perform with a live band to an audience who will be listening on wireless headphones – all live in the UKDS exhibition hall. It’s the ultimate live play-along experience for drummers of all levels – exciting, supportive, and unforgettable.
