Drumtrainer Berlin’s celebration of the art of drumming returns mid-May 2026. Prepare for the Berlin Drum Days 2026! Across 4 days, drummers from across Europe, the UK and South-America gather at the historic ORWOhaus, a former industrial venue with a punk heritage, for masterclasses, jam sessions, band training, warm-up classes, and more.
