About Me
I was born and raised in Cologne, Germany.
At the age of six, I started formal drumming lessons and continued to grow under the guidance of mentors including Laurent Duclouet and Andrew Small.
My drumming education later led me to pursue higher education at the Arnheim Conservatory.
After my studies, I’ve dived into the music scene as a drummer in Big Bands, eventually finding my passion in Pop and Rock music.
Over the past years I´ve been fortunate enough to share the stage with some of the best musicians in Germany playing over 1000 Shows across Europe.
LIVE
Known for my versatility as a live drummer, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with a wide array of artists across diverse musical genres.
From the iconic Pop sensations No Angels to the German Pop and Schlager star Vanessa Mai, my drumming skills have graced a spectrum of musical styles.
I’m also well-versed in Hybrid Drumming and ready to operate Ableton to enhance your live performances.
Whether it’s pop music with Fresh Music Live, Indie Dream Pop with The Day venturing into other musical territories, I will help you bring your vision to life.
Studio
I offer the convenience of recording in my own well-equipped studio, where everything is primed and ready whenever you need top-notch drum tracks.
In my studio, you’ll find high-quality equipment, including high end preamps, a big variety of microphones, and an extensive selection of snare drums, cymbals, and drum sets.
My drum kit is always set up and mic´ed, ensuring that we can dive right into recording.
The studio environment is acoustically optimized, delivering everything from tight, crisp drum sounds to big room Rock sounds.
And if you want to take a sneak peek at my studio setup, I’ve got you covered with a virtual tour in video format – coming soon!
