Founded in October 2014, Drummer North America (DNA) rekindles the Drummer tradition of self-identified masculinity of gay men, at an annual family reunion where history is honored and diversity respected. Alongside social and educational events, DNA weekend features three fetish contests for gay men: Drummer, Drummerboy and Drummer Bootblack. Unlike contests restricted to only leather or rubber, or a specific power dynamic such as Master/slave and Sir/boy, DNA contest titles are open to a broader spectrum of fetish identities of gay men — from rubber, uniforms, skinhead and leather, to sports kit, military and punk. DNA is as diverse as your DNA.

 

DNA contests are open to gay-identified, biological and trans men in the fetish/kink communities, who are residents of Canada, United States and Mexico. While DNA is a celebration of gay masculinity and the contests are open exclusively to gay male contestants, DNA weekend embraces and welcomes our kinky lesbian sisters to join the celebration and participate among the ‘Women of Drummer.’ The diversity celebrated at DNA weekend also makes a welcoming home for fetishists that migrate across a wide range of gear and play, and gay kinksters who are equally comfortable exploring power dynamics at both ends of or anywhere along the spectrum..
