Sonor Buch

Ich bin so unglaublich dankbar und ein bisschen stolz, dass ich mittlerweile auf 20 Jahre Zusammenarbeit mit Sonor Drums zurückblicken kann. Deshalb freue ich mich, dass Klaus Ruple mich in seinem Buch über die frühe Geschichte meiner Lieblings-Schlagzeug-Firma erwähnt und mit Bild abgedruckt hat.

Breaking News: I am part of the MEINL family

No fake news… it is true and I am really grateful how Meinl and especially Stephan Hänisch made me feel welcome to their artist family. Starting with the Voice of Germany Tour at the end of 2016 I have been using Meinl cymbals and Meinl percussion instruments. I found the perfect sounds for my upcoming work…
