About me

BEN STONE - Sick drum lessons in the heart of Amsterdam
My name is Ben Stone (Benkö Könyves) from Serbia, although my mother tongue is Hungarian. I was born in a family that was actively involved with musical activities. I started my musical journey at my age of 6 by playing the piano in the local music school. My piano teacher always said: “You play the right rhythm, but not the right notes. Maybe try drums”. Soon after that my dad brought home an old marching snare, and introduced me to world of drumming.

My first gig was to play snare drum (later drum set) in a local marching band where my entire family played already. By touring with this band for years I learned a lot about drum rudiments, stage presence and how to play in a band.

Fast forward to 2015 I pursued my passion for Jazz & Fusion, earning a Bachelor's degree from Kunstuniversitat Graz. During this time I was lucky enough to tour and perform with different projects that pushed me further to become a better musician. I had the privilege to perform at clubs and festivals such as: North Sea Jazz, Umbria Jazz, Rotterdam Pride, Eurosonic Noorderslag, Paradiso, Melkweg etc.

During my time in Australia after graduation, I had the honor of serving as the Music Coordinator at P&O Cruises, where I further refined my expertise in managing music programs and events. This experience allowed me to grow not only as a musician but also as a versatile leader in the music industry.

Now, I'm thrilled to call Amsterdam my home base, where I am the proud owner of the city's top-rated drum school. My ultimate mission is to spread the joy of drumming across all boarders.
