“Home of Drums”:  Musikmesse 2020 to integrate new community hub with workshops, stars and top bands

The international drum industry is launching an innovative meet-up concept for drummers and percussionists from all parts of the world for the 2020 edition of Frankfurt musikmesse: Home of Drums will combine product presentations, knowledge transfer, concerts and performances, and will give visitors an opportunity to get in touch with professionals. The event’s premiere will take place on 3 and 4 April in the grounds of the Frankfurt Fair & Exhibition Centre during Musikmesse. In future, on the accompanying online platform homeofdrums.com, percussion enthusiasts are invited all year long to network with each other, to take part in video lessons with well-known artists, and to keep up to date with the latest news of the event.

Home of Drums will feature practical use cases and personal exchanges between manufacturers and musicians. Standardised complete packages will give exhibitors an opportunity to showcase themselves at small expense jointly with their colleagues in the industry. The concept is gaining traction: thus brands such as DW, GEWA, Gibraltar, Gretsch, Latin Percussion, Mapex, Millenium, Natal, Paiste, PDP, Pearl, Protection Racket, Remo, Roland, Sabian, Sonor, Toca Percussion, Vic Firth, Yamaha, Zildjian and Zultan have already registered to attend Home of Drums.
