drummer's home

Our schools

It all began in 1983 with just a handful of students. Over the following 27 years, drummer’s focus has evolved into an institution that enjoys a worldwide reputation. It has become a pool from which successful acts recruit their drummers. Last but not least, it has become a meeting point that also welcomes stars of the business on a regular basis.

However, first and foremost, drummer’s focus remains what it always has been: a school that – despite all its glamorous publicity – takes its teaching responsibility extremely seriously. Its sole mission remains to guide its students towards personal and professional success. This will continue to motivate us for the next 27 years. And it goes without saying that it’s also a whole load of fun …
