Instruction
More than lessons
Not a summer pastime – but an intense musical experience.
Most of them play drums "somehow".
Lacking a clear focus. Lacking real feedback. Lacking structure.
The summer academy was developed to change exactly that.
Not with endless exercises.
Not with superficial group sessions.
But with personal support, targeted training and workshops that truly advance musically.
who finally want a clean start.
For beginners
who want to get back into music.
For returning players
who want to work on groove, technique, timing and sound.
For ambitious drummers
What you get
Good musicians don't practice randomly.
They are practicing with purpose.
Progress doesn't come from more hours.
But through the right content, honest feedback, and consistent implementation.
The summer academy combines three elements precisely for this purpose:
1
Personal one-on-one lessons
Flexible 1:1 sessions — individually tailored to your level and goals.
Online or in the studio in Vienna.
2
Intensive workshops
Specialized sessions on technique, groove, recording, sound and musicality.
No mass processing.
Maximum 8 participants.
3
DRUMSTAR online course included
So that you can continue working in a structured way even between sessions.
From anywhere.
