Instrument:  Drums

Music: since 1986, self-taught, except for the few lessons I had from Kurt Billker to improve my technique. Much more influential, however, was Kurt's playing, Kurt plays in many jazz bands such as  »Das Pferd«. But I also got curious watching a certain animal in a puppet TV show;)

I first got in contact with progressive rock of the early seventies through my elder brothers and good friends! Some friends of mine  and I founded »Chandelier« in 1986/87. Until 1994 we had two albums, lots of gigs and fun. After a break of about two years Stephan Scholz, Thomas Scholz, Michael Dorp a.k.a »Moppel«, Roger Weitz and I founded »Animal Crossing«, but we did not record a CD.

Having been guest drummer for »Pertaining To The Arts«, I stood in for Thomas Jarzina with »Elleven« several times. After Thomas had left the band in 2010, I became a member of the band.

Former bands: Chandelier, Animal Crossing, Pertaining To The Arts

Musical influences: got more complicated throughout the years. Progressive rock of Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and later jazz rock. In the 90s I got into funk and bands like »Red Hot Chili Peppers«.

Influential drummers: many pros and amateur drummers, but they usually convince me in the context of their bands
