5. Matt Greiner launches play-along drum competition for August Burns Red's new holiday track, “What Child Is This (Greensleeves)” via Vic Firth.

The August Burns Red drummer is highly regarded as one of the best in the business, and with a load of skills that are unmatched, you can do your best to replicate his talents in a new contest hosted by Vic Firth. You can watch the drum playthrough of their latest single below. Those who enter will have the opportunity to score a one-on-one interview with Matt, and two of the best will be featured on the Vic Firth Youtube page and social media channels before December 28. Finally, on January 1, Matt will select his top three for the interview. Get the drumless track here, and get banging!

6. Topshelf Records is joining the cause and donating all of their proceeds to foundations that are in a threatened position.

In a post published on Facebook last night, the record company stated that for the rest of 2016, all of their musician’s catalogues will be available for a “pay-what-you-want” price on both their Bandcamp and official website. One hundred percent of the contributions will go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Planned Parenthood, and The Trevor Project.

7. Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson and ex-Limp Biscuit DJ Lethal are lined up to face-off in a DJ battle.

This Saturday, November 26, the two will go at it one-on-one in Fresno, California, as a part of Art Silva’s Birthday Bash celebration. However, the two are already good pals, and even once worked together as a duo as Lethal Wilson. Check out the event details below.
