BDE GOES MAD
AND SO WILL YOU!
Thank you for being part of the MAKING A DIFFERENCE initiative! You don’t need to do anything more, aside from staying as drumtastic as you are! A part of what our students contribute monthly for the lessons is automatically set aside for meaningful projects around the world, providing music education and musical instruments (Drums/Percussion mostly) to those who live in harsh realities and cannot afford to approach this wonderful and powerful instrument! It has been a journey of several years to make this possible! Big or small, we want to see a CONCRETE impact! Let’s drum and make the world a better place, together! March 2022, A new collaboration is born with LAGOS, Nigeria! Thanks to that beautiful human being that is KUNBI! LET’S GO… MAD TOGETHER at BDE!

Wow Experience for anyone who wants to try Drums for first time or if you’re experienced and want to have a cool environment to play drums. I had a couple session with my gf and it was super cool, the day was on three different stations, starting on introduction to Drums and simple techniques, then solo playing drums alongside with your favorite songs (and yes you can select any song you want to play drums on 🥁🤘🏼) and lastly solo rocking that had so much energy and hype which is amazingggggg. There are also cozy areas to sit and relax, drinks available at place and cool swag too 🙌🏼 Totally recommend it!!

I had booked a 3hr drumming session a couple of months ago and it was a fantastic experience! From the moment I arrived, Marco made me feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. The session was an absolute blast—fun, engaging, and full of positive energy. I also really appreciated the breaks in between, which gave us a chance to chat and made the whole experience feel very relaxed and authentic rather than rushed. On top of that, the studio itself has a really cool, artistic vibe that adds to the atmosphere. The end part was the best, too—you get to improvise a little and just go crazy on the drums 😀 Whether you're a complete beginner or have some drumming experience, I'd definitely recommend BDE for a fun and memorable experience!

The experience at BDE was way beyond a simple drum workshop I thought I was going to have. It all starts with the vibe of the location, not to be just a school, but to make you wish to stay, from the chilled atmosphere outside to the well-decorated and full of references inside. Then, the workshop starts and the energy, the passion and the engagement from Marco and Natasha are transferred to the students, giving empowerment and building confidence to us behind the kit. No rush, no big rules, just let it flow! The 3 hours passed by like a blink of an eye and I really recommend everyone who is in Berlin to take the workshop individually or as a couple. It is going to be one of the greatest experiences you will have!

We had a drumming experience for couples as a birthday gift for me, and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was organized so well—we really loved the vibe and the structure of the session. It’s hard to believe how much was packed into just 3 hours! There was a bit of theory, some history, lots of practice, and even free drumming. The 3 hours just flew by! Highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to try something new and have fun with drums! Thank you, Marco, for such a great experience!

My boyfriend and me had the couple drumming experience with Marco and it was AMAZING! One can immediately sense Marco’s passion for the instrument, his drive and high positive energy! The concept of the lesson is really cool and dynamic + Marco is a great teacher! You can expect a little bit of theory and lots of fun and learning! 🔥🤟🏻🤟🏻🔥

When I imagined what I wanted my drum school/community to be like when I started my search, it was pretty much what BDE is in reality. The descriptions and reviews initially sounded too good to be true, and that’s why I was a bit skeptical before my first session. But it really lived up to the hype. Marco and Nahuel are incredibly passionate teachers and really have a way of making concepts click. Most sessions, I leave with a blown mind because something drummy suddenly makes way more sense than it did before. Other times, we just play and work on areas where I feel stuck. And what I love most: the philosophy is not about simply showing us some cool grooves and tips; instead, the lessons are about how we can turn OURSELVES into good drummers by showing us how to design our practice in an efficient way and avoid wasting time on unproductive exercises. Also, there is so much being offered by BDE: challenges, online practice sessions, and always another cool project. Other than that, the people are just cool. To make it short; just join, it’s really fun.

Simplesmente a melhor experiência que se pode ter no mundo da bateria! Não é uma simples escola e sim uma comunidade formada por apaixonados pelo instrumento! Obrigado aos meus queridos professores Giulia, Nahuel e Marco, vocês são os melhores!!

I joined not long ago and has been a great experience so far. I was an absolute beginner (never sat on the drums before) but Marco, Nahuel and Giulia have built this awesome community of drummers with different levels of experience and backgrounds, that helps you and keeps you motivated. I would definitely recommend it.

I'm so happy to find BDE where people are amazingly friendly and English speaker friendly. I enjoyed my every drumming moment with Marco and Nahual, i learned a lot since 1st session. Erika also has been very awesome and responsive ever since I reached out to BDE.

What an experience! One of the best I've had in Berlin so far. It feels really good to be around a drum kit again, and I cannot imagine doing it anywhere else. I haven't played the drums in nearly ten years, and now I am hooked again. The group is so accommodating and patient. They do love the drums, and their love is contagious.

The best drum school in ganz Berlin!!! What makes BDE so special is not only the fact that you're learning the coolest instrument of all, but that you have with you really nice professional and supportive teachers with you that teach you both how to play drums and how to find your own sound. So thankful for joining this drum community and I obviously recommend it. BDE rocks! ♥️😎🤟
