Celebrity drummer Aduberks is on a new journey to stoke the fires of Accra’s gleeful nightlife.
Speaking to Class News’ Prince Benjamin (PB), the award-winning drummer said he was doing so via his new project christened Drums & Mixes.
Drums & Mixes, he explained, was the natural result after years of collaborating with Ghana’s biggest disk jockeys (DJs), music brands – secular and sacred – trusted entertainment venues, and honing his gift all along.
For each of the Drums & Mixes series’ 10 episodes, Aduberks performs in between two DJs playing back-to-back (B2B), and a master of ceremony (MC) to tune the vibrations of their ever-eager cosmopolitan audience, bringing them to a place where nothing else matters but the beat, lightness, and unforgettable memories.
According to the TAMA ambassador and record producer, a brand new Drums & Mixes episode was happening.
Having whetted the appetite of revellers with two fantastic episodes already, he said his team was open to collaborations with recreational centres and event organisers for the remaining eight, adding it was unsurprisingly proving a powerful crowd-puller.
To spice up the episodes, he said “other creatives” will join the set as time goes on. “Like keyboardists, artists, etc,” he explained. “But for now, we’re just doing the DJ segment.”
African Parte is the inaugural Drums & Mixes episode, showcasing Afro House and Amapiano. It took Aduberks to the Polo Beach Club, La, Accra. Click here to experience it.

Accra’s nightlife is a vibrant fusion of music, energy, and cultural expression, and its drumming scene plays a key role in shaping this dynamic atmosphere. The city’s nights are alive with the rhythms of traditional African drumming, blending seamlessly with modern beats from local DJs and artists. Drummers like Aduberks are at the forefront of this fusion, creating unique experiences that combine live drumming with electronic music, energizing the crowd in new and exciting ways.
Whether it’s the hypnotic pulse of Afrobeat, the groove of Amapiano, or the soulful rhythms of Afro House, Accra’s nightlife has become a melting pot where ancient traditions and contemporary sounds converge, offering unforgettable experiences for both locals and visitors.
