Drummersfestival 2025
The renowned Adams Drummersfestival in Belgium returns on Sunday, March 23, 2025!
On behalf of Adams Music Centre in Lummen, we warmly invite you to the new Adams Drummersfestival, taking place in the beautiful Limburghal in Genk, Jaarbeurslaan 6, on Sunday, March 23, starting at 12:00 PM.
You know the drill: during the festival, about five international drummers will deliver drum demonstrations and clinics of approximately one hour each. They will also share insights about their equipment, experiences in bands or studios, and, of course, some entertaining anecdotes. These clinics will take place in the auditorium, where you can enjoy the show in a comfortable seat in the stands.
In the expo area, various importers will surprise you with a range of displays. You’ll also find snacks and drinks available here.
We’re putting together another stellar lineup to uphold the Drummersfestival's reputation: a unique, must-attend event for every drummer and percussionist! And this year, it will be even more special. Last year, the renowned American drummer and motivator Dom Famularo sadly passed away. Dom graced our Drummersfestival multiple times as an exceptional presenter and clinician. To honor him, the 2025 Drummersfestival will be a tribute to his legacy.
Presale: €20 / On the day: €25 (under 12: free)
Group rate: 8 tickets (€16.00 per person) €128.00
