About

WhyHunger’s Drum Together harnesses the power of music through The Beatles’ iconic song “Come Together” to build a just, hunger-free world.

More than 100 drummers and percussionists, along with over 50 additional musicians, have joined forces to create Drum Together – a never-before-heard, drum-focused version of The Beatles’ “Come Together”, all to support WhyHunger. A musical and visual tribute to the power of community and a call to action, creators Brian Resnick and Dom Famularo produced Drum Together to raise funds and awareness for WhyHunger’s work to end hunger in the U.S. and around the globe.

WhyHunger’s Drum Together is the greatest collection of drummers ever performing on one song.

Funds raised will support WhyHunger’s work to end global hunger, tackle its root causes and invest in grassroots solutions to advance the human right to nutritious food for all.
