RAMM

About Me

RAMM is the conjunction between percussionists Terence Samson and Kokouvi 'les milles mains' Lawson, drummer Michel Scholten and didgeridoo player Michiel Teijgeler. Because they don't use any modern, electronical equipment or effects they create a new style of music which has it's foundation in Byron Bay, Australia. It is best described as '100% biodynamic dance grooves'. Pure improvisation, original grooves and sturdy beats are the ingredients of this new form of dance music.

Since the traditional use of the didgeridoo, like most forms of percussion, is mainly to accompany dancing, Michiel wanted to form a band, to make people dance on his original percussive didgeridoo grooves, for a long time. So Michiel called in his old time friends and percussionists Kokouvi Lawson and Terence Samson.
After a long search for a drummer they got in contact with Michel Scholten, a very skilled drummer with an interrest in dance music. The combination with his steaming drum patterns and the tribal grooves of Michiel , Terence and Kokouvi evolved into highly danceable music. After a few sessions together RAMM was formed and ready to rock!
