Drum Lessons - All Styles

Hi! My name is Robin Eggers and I am an English/ German drummer and percussionist living in Rotterdam. My experience ranges from classical music to rock, pop, hip hop, jazz, world music and latin styles but also theatrical percussion, body percussion and free improvisation.

Drum Studio Soundport Rotterdam

I teach at my studio at Soundport close to Marconiplein with a beautiful view overlooking the skyline of Rotterdam. Most people want to sit behind a drum kit, however I do also have other percussion instruments such as cajón, djembe and various hand percussion instruments.

Rhythm is amazing

Rhythm and groove is all around you. It's everywhere and a massive part of our life as drummers/percussionists. Rhythm and timing play a major role in your life: In your body, your social existence, nature and music. As a drummer, your role is to play the rhythm, beat and timing of your favourite music. Your band can't live without it!

Coordination Monsters

Drummers are coordination monsters! We can play different rhythms and sounds with every limb - how incredible is that! In my lessons you will experience how to expand your own coordination with various rudiments and polyrhythms for example, which will help you to become a versatile and better drummer.

Beginners - Advanced

It doesn't matter if you are a complete beginner (with no sense of time at all), or a more experienced drummer. In each lesson you will play new rhythms and grooves, and overcome various rhythmical and technical challenges.

Trial Lesson

To get to know each other, explore your goals, music style, my teaching method and location, the trial lesson is a perfect option! So plan immediately!

Buying or renting a drum kit?

If you do not own a kit yet, are unsure what kind of set to buy or whether it would be better to rent one instead, I can help you with your search! There are various options and I am happy to help you to find an affordable instrument.

About Me

I have been making sound by hitting objects such as pots and pans since I can remember. My first drum lesson was at the age of 7 and I continued my training to become a percussionist in Germany throughout my school years. I gained a Bachelors degree at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK and later graduated with a Masters degree from Codarts Rotterdam Conservatorium in 2014.

Various Bands

Since living in the Netherlands I have played with various bands and ensembles such as Slagwerk Den Haag, Asko-Schonberg Ensemble, Veenfabriek, Ensemble Klang, Het Zuidelijk Toneel and many more. I am currently on tour throughout the Netherlands and Belgium with the musical Les Miserables.
