Available to hire
I’m Benjamin Wellenbeck, a jazz and pop drummer, educator, and music producer based in Bad Neuenahr, Germany. I’ve toured internationally and taught students of all ages and levels, from private lessons to music schools and workshops, bringing a versatile approach to rhythm, groove, and performance.
I’m a graduate of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Berklee College of Music, and I continue to perform as a jazz and pop drummer, work as a studio producer, and run private teaching studios. I love helping students develop technique, musical vocabulary, and confidence on stage while sharing my passion for jazz, pop, and beyond.
