It all began in 1990 when the vacant site at 529-533 High Street Northcote was purchased, then two years later the complex was completed from the ground up!

Since Drumtek's humble beginnings on the 20th of January 1992, Drumtek has been responsible for hundreds of the world’s greatest artists and bands featured in: Clinics, Workshops and private teaching.
