Four years ago, I quit my job as an engineer and started making metal drums which perfect for meditation or intuitive playing.
Since then I enjoy that process and looking for music of my life.

Last two years social dances(bachata fusion, kizomba , etc) became my other biggest passion.

Четыре года назад я уволился с работы и занялся производством металических барабанов(глюкофонов). Музыка для меня не только хобби, но и основное направление развития. Поэтому я занимаюсь не только проихзводством инструмента, но даю мастер классы, провожу уроки, сотрудничаю с танцорами и сам постоянно учусь у лучших преподователей планеты Земля!!!
В процессе работы с музыкой я обнаружил, что музыкальные и танцевальные навыки тесно связаны, поэтому я интенсивно занимаюсь бачатой и другими социальными танцами.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found out that I highly interested of people who burned out by their hobbies and change life of folks around.
I enjoy time in company of people with similar interests.

Interests

Gradually, I realized that music alone was not enough for me. I left the rock band and started dancing and working with the body. I do not separate music from dance. Here you can watch and listen about it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Four years ago, I quit my job as an engineer and started making metal drums which perfect for meditation or intuitive playing. Since then I enjoy that process and looking for music of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

In the process of creating my instruments, I had to master various methods of processing materials what really inspires me now. I experimented a lot to combine different techniques and materials, such as: steel, ceramic masses, various adhesives, varnishes, paints, heat treatment, vibration limiters.

I like social dances, so we can visit one of the dance places in St. Petersburg (bachata, salsa, tango, kizomba)

If you have questions in musical field connected with drums, guitar or music in general I'll be happy to help you.

I can show you unusual non-tourist places of St. Petersburg, or we can enjoy view from one of the roofs.
We can make some sport activity like snowboarding in winter or skate boarding and cycling in summer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to share my knowledge about engineering, electricity, sport and some other mutual interest.

I can teach you how to cook some Russian meals or we can do it together. It's usually fun and probably you like it.

Being an engineer I can repair some broken devices, fix electricity issues or help with construction.
