About Me

Hi! I'm Pete, I'm a musician who play the drums and I live in Malmö, Sweden. I play in a few different bands, check out my recordings and/or my friends spaces.

Recently, I've been writing some stuff in a music magazine called Drummer's Digest.com, check it out. I've done one interview with Peter Erskine and interviews with Jim Black and David King are coming up soon. I like photography, at least I did. I've posted a few of my old pics here below.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
