SCHOOL OF
Drums
Where better to learn than from an experienced & familiar team who love their work and have both live and studio experience.
In a studio that is equipped with everything a drummer needs.
We also have free parking and a bus stop right outside the door.
Learning can be learned, so every type of learner, regardless of age, is in good hands with us.
The practice concepts and plans are always individually tailored to the student in order to optimally promote their own focus.
For those interested in traveling further afield, there is also the option of booking lesson packages or lessons via Skype.
Fun, games & excitement! (the chocolate is then available at Christmas and Easter)
We pick you up where you are and take you forward step by step so that your goals are within reach more quickly and safely.
Thanks to the team’s different areas of focus, we can achieve any goal.

Sven is a great guy and a really cool drummer.
He always has an open ear and picks up the students where they stand.
I had drum lessons with him to prepare for my studies in Mannheim.
It was a really good time and I can only recommend it!
My best progress by far!
Absolutely individual and professional lessons adapted to each student.
Always with fun and goals in mind.
You learn every aspect:
-Technique -Feeling -Grooves/Fill ins
-styles -ergonomic fitness for drummers -uvm
I can absolutely recommend it to anyone who has been playing drums for a while and is looking for new horizons, as well as to any newcomer.
If that’s not enough, there are often workshops or similar in addition to the lessons, which I personally found really fun and motivating.
Recommendation for anyone looking for experienced teachers who can help you beyond the normal music school standard, both personally and on the instrument!!!
I myself did part of my university preparation there and can only recommend it to anyone who has similar plans!
