Young drummers from across Germany will take to the stage as the five best emerging talents in the country battle it out live on the Main Stage at The Europe Drum Show 2026, Saturday 11th April, starting at 9:30am.
Following nationwide digital heats and a rigorous selection process by an expert jury featuring Joachim Schöpe (instrumental teacher, conductor and musician), Agustin Strizzi (professional percussionist and music teacher from Buenos Aires with extensive experience in percussion, composition and arrangement), and Jessica Mett-Dienel (percussionist and Secretary General of the Brandenburg State Music Council), the six finalists have earned their place in the live grand final.
Now they will showcase their skill, creativity and musicality in front of a live audience and an elite judging panel, all competing for the ultimate title of Germany’s Next Top Drummer.
