The Drummer Mafia: Beat Entertainment
The Drummer Mafia consists of five rhythmic mobsters who spread neither fear nor terror during their rapid forays through percussive sound worlds – on the contrary: they don’t engage in crooked dealings but rather swing their sticks.
With craftsmanship, charming quick-wittedness, and astonishing creativity, every beat offensive of this gang becomes a foolproof coup. Here are true professionals at work: virtuosic drummers and captivating entertainers all in one. Five humorous players who, after every surprising moment, have the next ace up their sleeves. The Drummer Mafia performs in various formats: from a 10-minute pop-up concert to a full evening show “Backstreet Noise”.
A look at their dossier shows that the mafiosi are no longer petty criminals. Since 2010, they have been showcasing their charm and sticks. Awarded the Baden-Württemberg Small Arts Prize in 2015 and the Niederstätter surPrize in 2018, entertainers in front of millions of television viewers in the finale of the RTL show “Die Puppenstars”, and collaborators with artist Joris on the Echo Show 2016. The clients from politics (Federal Ministry of Economics), industry (BASF, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, Otto), culture (lit.Cologne, New Pop Festival), and the media (SWR, Arte, RTL) are ultimately left with the delighted confession: Mission accomplished!
A drummed gangster satire full of surprises
In the full-length show format of the Drummer Mafia, the audience becomes both a witness and an accomplice.
Although the mafiosi are always eager to maintain their cool gangster façade, it quickly becomes clear that not everything is going smoothly in the mafia operation. How could it be any different? After all, with five drummers, everyone wants to set the beat.
Who will hold the strings in the end? Will the disguise as a pizza maker be blown? How does one build a getaway car out of three drums, and what happens when all the lights suddenly go out?
'Backstreet Noise' captivates all generations – with craftsmanship, charming quick-wittedness, and astonishing creativity. A look at the dossier shows that these mafiosi are no longer petty criminals. Awarded the Baden-Württemberg Small Arts Prize in 2015, finalists of the RTL show “Die Puppenstars” in front of millions of television viewers, performances at the “Golden Camera,” the “Echo Award,” and much more…
