I started to play the drums in 1990 in a schoolband. At the time I couldn't even hold
my sticks straight. But I soon realised that this was something I could enjoy doing
for a long time. After several bands I quit drumming in 1998. I sold my drumkit,
and for the next four years I never touched a pair of sticks again.
In 2002 my urge was back when I recieved a phonecall from guitarist Worldtripper.
So we started a band. This jamm based band became Inflection and suddenly
the fun was back. At this point my old love for metal decreased but the love for
impro grew stronger. Just sit down and play, not knowing what is going to come next.
This gave me the kick and drive I needed. This drive grew so big that in 2004
the Jamm Society was created.
Now I got the feeling that I am (musicaly speeking) in a place I fitt in.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

I love to play live on stage specially with impro.
any moment playing live is a special moment.

Can't tell. You wouldnt believe me.
Anything else?
Music........ A universal medium that
provides a feel to the listener.
So let's not have any boundaries!!
