General Manager: Hans-Martin Chemnitz
For more than ten years, Hans-Martin Chemnitz has been carrying the spirit of drummer’s focus into the world. He has the gift, heart and soul to communicate his high musical level (Top Stage Diploma in 1998) in such a way that even untrained ears are eager to listen.
His students benefit from this gift as much as his audience. Entirely at home on the big stage for 25 years, as a drummer’s focus teacher in Munich and Stuttgart, he has helped countless drummers on the road to success. His personal journey took him from Bavaria to Cologne by the Rhine. His goal is to make music!
About the location:
The youngest df subsidiary is located in Mauritiussteinweg in busy downtown Cologne – the city with its world famous cathedral – just a two-minute walk from the Neumarkt traffic junction. It is easily accessible using all major tram lines. Situated between romantic churches, traditional breweries and popular shopping streets, at drummer’s focus Köln you will feel both the pulse of the vivid cultural city and the deep sense of history: the many archaeological finds embedded in the walls remind us that the Romans once cultivated wine in the place where beats and grooves are taught today.
