Benjamin Koch grew up in Rheinbach, a nice, small and playful city near Bonn, Germany. He started playing drums on grandma’s cookware before he got his first own drumset for christmas. He was 4 years old when he began taking lessons from his father Michael Koch. He showed him the basic ideas of drumming and inspired him a lot concerning drums and the mentality of drummers. Benjamin always thought and still thinks that there is no such cool thing as getting the drumset in the car and driving to a gig!
Currently Benjamin studies at the „ArtEZ“ conservatoy in Arnhem, Netherlands. He gets lessons from Rene Creemers and Joop van Erven.
