Daaaahh
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not yet with electronic equipment , only sometimes as a drummer in improvisations. But I adore it yeah , mmmm . I've been in some performing bands between 1990 and 1994 and in 2006. The most special was at Dour festival on a free podium stage, I played with two rasta men that I'd never seen before, so it was all improvisations from my part, and as I didn't know I was going to perform, I had been eating special mushrooms all day on the festival. After the three songs we played, I got offered a gig with "our band" in a bar. Too bad I had to tell the man that I still didn't know who I had been playing with. The other special moments are about kissing girls ...

What equipment do you use?
1976: my voice, I used it a lot for crying when I was a baby, my hands I used to play with the shaker :-) 1983: we broke our father's old bass guitar. Well , just one pick-up didn't survive our experiments. We were no longer aloud to touch it but it still worked ... He also had a folk guitar, and my grandparents had a piano, and a room where my uncle exercised with his band. 1989: Started playing for drumschool on my brother's "Premier" drumset that I later bought from him , together with his Paiste 2000 cymbals, he also had a great Fender Precision bass I could play on. My cousin got that bass now. 1998: new Roland SPD11 total percussion pad, an electronic Midi "octapad" so I can play drums when other people sleep. 1999: a pentium I computer with Midi in/out and cubase Vst 3.7 with virtual instruments. great software but the audio or vst plugins don't work because my hardware isn't good enough . Anyway, it was a good learning instrument. Wow a computer to send signals to a synth, my friend's Korg X3 that I got for a cool price. Thanks Charlie. Good luck with your son and new girlfriend ;-) 2004: PC 866Mhz PIII, Roland SPD11 drumpads, Korg X3, Dman 2044 pci soundcard, internet connection 2005:midisport 2x2 usb, no internet connection, installing a central heating system and an extra wall etc. in my rented loft . 2006: again internet and an M-audio Delta1010 8 channel soundcard. 2007: Behringer Truth B2031A studio monitors , 4 Tapco Blend 6 mixers, and a Fame drum mic set to record my drums on multiple channels
Anything else?
Too many cars, too many wars, too many beers in the bars.
