ABOUT ME

im a musician, drummer, i play improvised modern free music, like free jazz, plus i have a band that does live Drum n Bass

im mostly easy going, calm, friendly... i really can enjoy almost anything - from a crazy drum n bass rave party, to sitting at home doing absolutely nothing, and everything in between. i like talking to people and really am interested in other cultures and especially other languages. i think that languages is one of my life passions...

im planning on studying a second degree in linguistics but that is still not certain at the moment. im kind of enjoying my life between concerts, rehearsals, teaching, friends, family...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - heavy rock (deftones, mr bungle, faith no more, police, rage against the machine), jazz (almost everything), drum n bass (nero, noisia, netsky, chase n status), free jazz, electronic (baths, aphex twin, squarepusher, chemical brothers, lemon jelly, amon tobin), jungle, dubstep (jakwob, borgore), modern composed music (morton feldman, john cage, takemitsu, grise), classical music, funk and so much more...

movies - all by kubrick, david lynch, fight club, big lebowski & all by the cohen brothers (except the shitty ones)

Teach, Learn, Share

Its kinda weird, but i really enjoy teaching rhythm - that is to say, not DRUMS, but general rhythmic abilities... as a drum teacher i've been teaching for many years, and during the years i had the chance to teach guitarists, percussionists, pianists etc. rhythm and rhythmic abilities. i find it alot of fun, and i think every musician, should have rhythm practice built in his practice routine... just thought i'd share that
