In addition to a happy mood and curiosity, you will need to bring your own throne (trunk), double bass-pedal, trunks and an exercise kit type DW's Go Anywhere or digital kit. Do not forget that a pair of earplugs are never wrong to bring along.

What level does DBW look for?

You should have played for a while and know concepts like groove, hour, beat, different tactics. DBW is primarily aimed at those who want to continue developing within drums and looking for inspiration and motivation sources. You do not have to be a professional drummer but maybe you're wondering how to get there. We hope several girls / women are looking for DBW. We will be around 20 people during the workshop so now you have the opportunity to meet several drummers like you and make new contacts.

Will I really get facetime with professional musicians?

Absolutely! When they do not hold a lesson, you can find them at the hotel. You do not have to register to study with one of the teachers, but when you sign up for DBW, you know that you will receive lessons from ALL teachers. You will also eat, hang out and have long discussions with the teachers and all other students after the classes have been completed for the day. Live and breathe drums 24/7! And yes, Thomas Lang is in place every three days to give you the maximum dividend of your days!

When do I have to be there and when does it end?

DBW will start at 09.00 on Friday. On Sundays we end when we are done!

What do the days look like?

- We start at 09.00 on Friday and last until dinner time. We break for lunch during the day and there will be coffee etc. in the afternoon.

- Saturday we start at 9.00 and only interrupt for lunch and coffee. The days will be filled with exercises, workshops and seminars.

- Sunday we will start at 9.00 again and will last until we end.

Where can I stay?

There are many accommodations around the venue Fryshuset. Look around in Hammarby and Södermalm / Skanstull. We will have Clarion Hotel Stockholm at Skanstull as the "home base" after the end of the day. If you book a hotel, make sure you book with a cancellation option, as we will not be responsible for any costs if we will be forced to cancel the workshop.

 

 

Do I have to be able to read notes?

No.

Can I have private lessons?

No. But you have the opportunity to ask anything you ever thought about, when it comes to drums, directly to your teachers. There is also the opportunity to, with time, help with specific findings on the drums that will be in place. All teachers on-site offer private lessons outside the DBW. Be sure to ask them directly in place.

Is there a minimum age?

Yes. DBW caters to you who have been playing for a while and are not a beginners course. There is no upper age limit as long as you are curious and want to learn more. If you are under 18, you are welcome to participate in the entire DBW but we must have your parents’ or legal guardian’s permission for you to participate.

Can I film, shoot or record sound recordings?

Sure. Just keep in mind that everyone does not want to participate in movies and social media. Please post pictures and clips so others will see what we do. Just keep in mind that all images and audio recordings are for your own private use. You paid to go to the workshop, why should you give it away for free? We will also document parts of the weekend with our media team.

What else should I think of?

Do not forget the camera, pen and paper to make notes.
