World famous drummers are supporting a Sudan365 by helping create a global beat for peace to launch the campaign.

Celebrity drummers – including Phil Selway of Radiohead, Jonny Quinn of Snow Patrol, Stewart Copeland of The Police, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, the renowned Egyptian drummer Yehia Khalil and Mustapha Tettey Addy from Ghana who has been drumming since the 1970s – have come together to create a global beat for peace for Sudan.

The drummers appear in a music film which was the brainchild of Jamie Catto – the drummer of Faithless who was behind the hit global music project ‘One Giant Leap’ – and produced by Emer Patten and the team at Splinter Films, the specialist music film company who have produced concert films for Beyoncé, Foo Fighters and Kings Of Leon.

The film features a drum beat for peace starting in Sudan and being picked up and passed on like a baton between drummers in over 15 countries around the world including Brazil, Mexico, US (New York and San Francisco), UK, France, Spain, Senegal, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Mali, UAE, Japan, Russia and Australia.
