| Besides playing in bands and teaching I´m also still a very active clinician.
I really like drums as a solo instrument. In my clinics I try to approach my
drumkit as a melodic instrument and I´m always looking out for different
colors, sounds, atmospheres, contrasts, etc. Whereas in bands I´m always a
timekeeper and play an accompanying role, in clinics I can concentrate much
more on things like melody and harmony. The fact that the two don´t seem to
have anything to do with drumming makes them all the more interesting for me to
experiment with.
Each drum solo I play is part of a "drum song". Sometimes I sing, other times I
play the melody on my drums. Presenting the drumkit as a complete musical
instrument is my main ambition. The one thing I try to avoid is using my kit as
a fitness tool. |
