BE A DRUMMER
EVERY DAY at BDE
Being a drummer is not an activity, but a STATE OF BEING! At BDE, you accumulate 4 hours of lesson time every month, all tracked transparently in our BDEapp. But we’re not just about adding lessons: you get to choose what works best for you.! Most are one-on-one drum lessons, but every month, you can mix in tribal group classes, band coaching, studio time, or anything else that helps you grow as a musician. We’re all about quality over quantity, even though, let’s be real, we love both! More lessons aren’t always the answer... sometimes, the best move is taking time to practice! No extra costs for rooms, whether for lessons or 24/7 practice. Just book, show up, and drum! Got travel plans? No problem! We set up a drumazing schedule around your availability. If you're away, we can shift lessons, add extra sessions before or after, or go online: there's always a way to drum! Check out below all the activities you will be part of as you join the drumgang!
WELCOME tO BDE
now let's smash those drums!
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!
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
for DRUMMERS

INNER WORKINGS and MECHANICS of DRUMMING
A monthly workshop where we dismantle, tune, and rebuild the drum kit from the ground up! Get hands-on with tuning techniques, sound shaping, and drum setup, learning how different materials, heads, and adjustments affect your tone. From snare to bass drum, toms to cymbals, we experiment with every part of the kit to help you find your own sound. It's hands-on, practical, and above all: FUN! Get ready to tweak, tune, and groove!
RHYTHM SECTION STUDIES + BASS LESSONS
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!
