Daytime & Evenings

Private drum lessons taught by Sonny Bergendorff in your own home across the Costa del Sol. Every visit is at least two 40-minute blocks (80 minutes), built around the student's level - from first beats to grooves, fills and playing along to real songs. Until September 2027 lessons are home visits only.

Sonny has played drums since childhood - around 60 live gigs between the ages of 15 and 19. At 16 he ran his first live music club in Stockholm and went on to run and promote nightclubs for many years, including club nights with Dr. Alban in Stockholm. Over two decades of live shows he has worked in roles from local crew and security to backstage and drum setup, and later production work, on tours by international acts including Iron Maiden, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Braxton and Riverdance. He has built music studios in Sweden and Spain, still works as a musician, and is co-founder of Marbella Academy.
