Drumfamily
PLAN A
Small & fixed monthly contribution → BIG drum experience! This plan is the place to be, where basically all of our drummers belong! It shows your commitment and allows the teachers to properly guide you through this exciting rhythmical journey knowing that you care about it. You will be provided with a structure that will support you in growing as a drummer and musician at 360°. Let’s smash those drums!
Cancellation
There’s an internal agreement with a 3-month cancellation notice to the end of a month. The course is open end! If you start with the idea of quitting, have a look at our pay by the hour plan with no commitment.
Payments
SUPER DISCOUNT MONTHLY PLAN!
Fixed 150€ + V.A.T. all inclusive, with automatic monthly SEPA payment on GoCardless: Let’s focus on drumming!
Lessons
The course cannot be put on hold, but lessons are made up throughout the year with both individual and group activities! Your hours will never be lost!
What Do You Get? A LOT!
BE a drummer
EVERY DAY at BDE!
Being a drummer is not an activity, but a STATE OF BEING! Receive 4 hours of individual in person lessons and special group classes per month with your teachers. We don't approach it mathematically, our phylosophy is: THE MORE DRUMMING THE BETTER! There is something happening at BDE every day! Unmade hours are never lost and they accumulate for more future drumming opportunities throughout the year!
Band Practice!
Arranged individual lessons hosted by Adam Sandahl aka ADAMORE, working on structures and iconinc songs and during proper rehearsals with a band of professional musicians that will allow you to experience the real life of a drummer and guide you with valuable suggestions beyond the technical aspects!
Practice Pad Routine
Our epic FREE daily guided practice sessions on zoom (now also LIVE!) hosted by Nahuel Arias! They will help you build a solid practicing routing while having lots of fun in the process! You will just need drumsticks, a pillow (or a practice pad) and lots of enthusiasm! PPR: STICK TO IT!
Physical Training
Learn body awareness, posture, balance, independence, coordination, stage presence, how to avoid injuries and much more with our teacher Giulia Mandelli, professional dancer, choreographer and educator! This format of lesson can be booked both as an individual private class or as a group activity!
Tribal Drum Ensemble
One of our drummers' favourites! An extremely powerful and primitive group lesson that lasts more than 3 hours! Held by our teacher Marco Rivagli. We compose and learn how to play together in a percussive ensemble working also on proper live shows! Let's experience what drumming is all about!
Rhythm Section
STUDIES
Fun and incredibly valuable lessons with our teacher Roberto Badoglio that will teach you the powerful relationship between drums & bass guitar. On the side of this format of lesson you can also book ACTUAL bass individual lessons with Roberto! Which better way to learn how to play with a bass player than putting yourself in their shoes and learn how to play the instrument in the first place? WOW! Let's groove!
Vocal Training
Vocal Training for drummers with our teacher Silvia Dallera! Learn how breathing works to improve your control behind the instrument and study to develop your bacing vocals skills! A unique format of lesson that you can choose to book during your journey as you please!
Tecnique & Theory ZOOM Classes
Attend also online classes with Marco Rivagli, focus on important topics that are very often neglected when in front of the drums and save commuting time! We will be using a graphic tablet for you to get all the notes from each lesson. We will work on theory and technique so that we acquire all the necessary knowledge to develop a vocabulary on the actual instrument! You will just need drumsticks, a pillow/practice pad and of course a computer with internet 🙂
Drum History
Get access to our archived course on the "history & evolution of drums" with legendary educator Daniel Glass! More courses on the history of drums and influencial drummers coming up!
M.A.D. Project
Making A Difference! A part of what our students contribute monthly for the lessons is set aside for meaningful projects around the world, providing music education and musical instruments to those who live in harsh realities and cannot afford to approach this wonderful instrument! YOU DO: WE GIVE!
24/7 FREE
Practice Room
Get access to our DRUM PARADISE! Practice at any time/any day without time pressure! Forget the rest of the universe and get some YOU time! The couch also becomes a bed, so you can even "collapse" there over night after a long practice sesssion! 🙂 The room is yours to enjoy and rock!
You Have Been

We offer total scheduling flexibility at BDE! Every month we make a drumazing plan based on your own availability! Whenever you know you cannot be in town, we can plan longer or multiple lessons and activities the month before and after and plan some online lessons too! There is always a way to drum when you are part of BDE! LET'S SMASH THOSE DRUMS!

PLAN B
After your 1st BDE, if you do not feel like committing to a drum journey together, you can also study with us on a pay by the hour basis. This plan does not include any perks from above, has a higher cost per hour and covers the time of the lesson including the rent of the room. It is suggested for very advanced drummers, people not based in Berlin or for those that do not want to commit to a proper continuous course. You can buy any amount of hours from our shop section!
What now?
Select your package and tell us a bit about your journey so far, your expectations, your drives and your general schedule. Both our director Marco & our assistant Erika will go through your application and we will then schedule your first BDE! If you are making this as a gift, let us know and we will send you a drum gift card valid for 1 year.
Let’s get grooving
Let’s get rocking

LET’S GET DRUMMING!!
