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 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

With his unique playing style and sound developed over half a century of his career, Erskine is a highly sought-after session drummer. He continues to give clinics and workshops every year. Peter is a world-class jazz drummer, and his clinic at the Adams Drummers Festival 2025 is not to be missed.
Presentation
The presentation will be hosted by none other than Sean Dhondt. You undoubtedly know Sean as a TV and radio personality (TMF, JIM, VTM, QMusic), but first and foremost, Sean is a musician—both as a frontman and a drummer! Sean performs on our Adams 8000 drums.
Sound Creation & Flexibility
Bram Raeymaekers is the drummer for Stan van Samang and has played with Clouseau, Hadise, and The Voice of Flanders, among others. He is also one of the most sought-after session drummers in Belgium. As a drummer of various styles, you need to be a chameleon and know how to create the right sound and feel with the same set that fits the genre of the music.
