A group of enthusiastic, drum playing badasses, created from the passion to discover all aspects of drumming!
The foundation for Copenhagen Drummers was built during our time as constables in the Royal Lifeguard’s Drum Corp. A world full of traditions and history. With a very routine weekly schedule and guidelines for how to play the drums in the guard, we had a need to express all the crazy ideas and thoughts about how drumming could also be performed. It was with those thoughts that Copenhagen Drummers was formed, an environment where the ideas and unique thoughts of how drumming could be made more fun and entertaining was encouraged.
In 2010, the Copenhagen Drummers had the spotlight for the first time, when they made their name in Denmark by winning Talent 2010 through the display of their unique approach to drumming!
In 2013 we shared the stage with Emmelie De Forest in the National Danish Song Contest and were right there with Emmelie De Forest as we took the world by storm when we won Eurovision 2013 and put Denmark on the world map with a fantastic performance!
We have performed more than 1,000 shows both nationally and internationally (France, Germany, India, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Turkey, Thailand, Albania, Switzerland, Netherlands, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc.). We have opened conferences and parties for some of the country’s biggest companies such as Mærsk, Grundfos, Novo Nordisk, Dong Energi, Lego, and many more.
Precision and discipline play crucial roles in the show and with passion and curiousness we give the audience a performance that combines traditional drum styles with unconventional tools, and the show is spiced up with a certain energy and enthusiasm that other shows cannot compete with! With unique show features within the sound, lighting, and visual effects we give the audience a once in a lifetime experience!

NATIONAL DANISH SONG CONTEST 2013.
Morten and Jacob sat down early on with the team behind Only Teardrops with Emmelie De Forest as the lead. With full trust in Copenhagen Drummers, we got the responsibility of playing the drums and choreographing for the big performance.
Singing, drums, choreography, radiation and of course an amazing audience made it possible for Only Teardrops to win the National Danish Song Contest 2013.
Due to rules restricting the amount of people allowed on stage, only Morten and Jacob were a part of the performance.

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST, 2013
With the immense pressure for a Danish win, the team brought Only Teardrops to Malmø, Sweden to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.
With little, but important changes in the choreography, Copenhagen Drummers was ready. There was an outstanding amount of pressure on Morten and Jacob, and it was a fantastic experience to be on stage in front of 170 million TV-watchers from all of Europe.
We won Eurovision Song Contest 2013 before all the votes were counted, and success became reality. The reactions have been overwhelming, and we are still very thankful for the huge experience and support we have received.

We were proud of being able to present our first Denmark tour!
ELEMENTS TOUR was a live concert with a duration of 75 minutes, where we brought the audience into our fantasy filled universe. A universe that was created out of our creativity and passion for music and choreography. With energy, ferocity, and humor, as well as elements such as fire, water, soil and air, it was something everyone could relate to. The interaction with lights and sound created a unique atmosphere, that give the feeling of being a part of this universe and history, which was told.
