Copenhagen Drummers

Here you can read the story of the Copenhagen Drummers - from their roots in the Royal Life Guards Drum Corps to nationwide TV shows, international stages and thousands of tickets sold.

From the Royal Guard to spectacular drum shows

The story began during our time in the Royal Danish Life Guard’s Drum Corps – a world defined by tradition and strict rules. While discipline shaped our craft, we were bursting with ideas that didn’t fit inside the traditional marching-drum framework. Copenhagen Drummers became our playground – a space to unleash creativity and push the boundaries of what drumming could be. 

Winners of Denmark’s Got Talent 2010

Our breakthrough came in 2010, when we won Denmark’s Got Talent and introduced the nation to our explosive shows. Water, ladders, fire, trash cans – our unorthodox ideas came alive on national television, and a new chapter began.

Eurovision Song Contest 2013 – on stage when Denmark won

In 2013, we joined Emmelie De Forest on stage at the Eurovision Song Contest. Together, we captured the world’s attention – and Denmark claimed victory with a performance seen by millions across the globe.

Sold Out Tours

Since 2014, we’ve toured with our own drum shows at venues across the country – and today, we’ve sold hundreds of thousands of tickets. Our unique productions include the Elements Tour, Lights On, The Grand Tour, Feel Good Tour, and most recently the Energy Tour in 2025, which took us to 26 venues across Denmark and Sweden.

1,000+ shows for royalty, global brands and festivals

We've performed at everything from HRH King Frederik's 50th birthday at the Royal Arena to large festival stages and arena shows with names like KYGO, Two Friends, DJ Aligator and Kongsted - as well as corporate events for some of Denmark's largest companies such as Mærsk, Grundfos, Novo Nordisk, Dong Energi, LEGO, Netto, Deloitte and many more. With well over 1,000 shows behind us, we have performed both in Denmark and internationally - including in France, Egypt, India, Spain, Turkey, Norway, Sweden, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.

An unforgettable live experience

Precision, discipline and unity meet passion, humor and curiosity in a performance unlike anything else. Blending traditional drumming with unconventional instruments, powered by light, visuals and sheer energy, Copenhagen Drummers create a live experience you will never forget.
