The London Drum Show returns to London’s Olympia once more this year and MU members can benefit from a discounted advance ticket offer.

Save 20% on the full price.

The two-day event boasts three stages and loads of drumming gear spread across two floors. The show is packed with the best brands out there from Roland to Pearl, so you can try out and buy the latest and best drumming gear at special show prices.

Whilst there is limited seating in the popular main stage auditorium, you can guarantee yourself entry by buying a ticket for £5 to see your favourite artist beforehand, or try your luck for a free ticket – an allocation is given out an hour before each performance.

Learn the tricks of the trade in mikedolbear.com masterclasses, where artists demonstrate different techniques and answer those burning questions you have always wanted to ask a drum legend.

Plus check out the Education Zone where some of our best drum tutors will be on hand to finesse your fills and reignite your rudiments.
