Drumtrainer Berlin’s celebration to the art of drumming is back at the end of May. Prepare yourself for the Berlin Drum Days 2025.
Across 4 days, drummers from across Europe will gather in Berlin’s 1970s industrial home to punk ORWOhaus to experience drumming masterclasses, jam sessions, band training, warm-up classes, marching band workshops, and so much more. It’ll be an intense drumming experience in Berlin’s capital but you’ll go through it with a group of like-minded drummers all with the same goal: to become a better drummer.
We aim to bring you a rich and diverse lineup of drummers that you rarely see at drum camps and each clinic will be completely unique. This year we are proud to bring you master drummer & clinician Jojo Mayer, the Brazilian Drummer Renato Lellis, Jas Kayser, who is currently killing’ it on tour with Lenny Kravitz, alongside the Cuban viral flow-maestro Jay Kaylo. One of Germany’s finest educators Gerwin Eisenhauer will be presenting a workshop with rapper Layla Carter, whilst social media sensation & touring drummer Dany Kufner will join our Drumtrainer Berlin teachers Mario Meruna and Dirk Erchinger to close-off the lineup.
The BDD25 is open to all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. You don’t need to be a pro drummer to take part. There are limited tickets available so get your Ticket now!

BOOOM Workshop & Concert
BOOOM is one of the many projects of Regensburg drummer Gerwin Eisenhauer. He has been working as a duo with 19-year-old singer and rapper Layla Carter for a year now.
Both, coming from completely different musical worlds, have come together to experiment with styles such as jungle, drum’n’bass, techno, trap and house in a completely improvised context.
On the one hand, they work with the stylistic elements and rhythms of electronic music and song structures are also occasionally audible, but they never work with completely prefabricated loops or patterns.
Jazz Session with Stephan Genze Quartet
Stephan Genze is one of the hardest working pro-drummers in Germany for more than 40 years. Genze studied classical percussion and jazz drums and specialized in jazz and big band drumming and working in musical and theater productions. Award-winning productions such as the Threepenny Opera by the Berliner Ensemble have taken Stephan to guest performances all over the world, from Australia to New York. Stephan brings his jazz quartet to the Drum Days for a concert and a jam session with the participants.
