You can make an appointment for an entrance exam for the next drum trainer professional training course anytime via the Drumtrainer office in Berlin. The entrance exam is free.

Alternatively, send a link or a data with a representative example of your drumming as a video. Your playing should be to be clearly visible and audible on the sample.

Our goal is to improve each student’s skill-set, taking into account their individuality. Our students will be fully trained as professional drummers who are knowledgeable about the music market. They will be versatile musicians, adept at studio sessions, as well performing live and teaching. The professional training is divided between group and individual classes.

Depending on the nationalities per class, lessons will be taught in either German or English.

The classes are internally divided into 4 phases, each with 8 weeks of classes including one internal assessment week every 8 to 16 weeks. There will be 2 weeks of final exam preparation at the end of the course, making a total of 34 weeks. The second and fourth phases end with a live performing test in the Drumtrainer Berlin studios or an external public venue in Berlin.

Of course there is a lot of drum training material available for free online – and some of it is even good quality. But it takes a lot of of time to search through this mass of films and tutorials online to find the right ones for you. And can you believe everything you are taught online? The question is: Do you want to spend your time clicking around the net or learning the drums? Are the contents of the films you watch from professionals who can also teach? Are the lessons legally put online? Drumtrainer.online can answer a loud yes to these questions. Our courses are clearly structured and concentrate on the essential basics and our trainers are all experienced professional drummers who have extensive teaching experience. The videos have been filmed in high-quality and created exclusively for drumtrainer.online. Only short clips, if anything, can be found on YouTube. The planning and production of these ilms is costly, without taking into account the many years that professional drummers invest in taking their music to the top level. We urge to take into account that by paying the membership fee or the price of individual courses you are also enabling us to continue to create high-quality teaching material in the future.

Members can watch the videos for the entire duration of their membership. If you buy a video without membership, your access will be removed after one year.

Any current computer, tablet or smart phone.

No. Our films can only be streamed online to avoid them being spread without our agreement.

Within our membership you can watch the courses an unlimited amount of times.

As Drumtrainer is based in Berlin, Germany, courses are offered in German as well as in English.

Our courses can be securely paid for via Paypal, SEPA or by using a credit card. Afterwards, drummers get immediate access to the courses.

No. There’s no video or online course which can replace the personal face-to-face contact with a good teacher. We want to encourage our drummers to find a teacher in their home area, so they can give direct feedback and tips as well as motivate and inspire. Online courses are a great thing but they don’t replace a teacher. We also offer a combination of our online offering with drum lessons on site in Berlin or via Skype.
