"Hans is a great Danish Eskimo who loves music and who's crazy about the
drums. In other words: Hans is the Steve Gadd of Greenland."

"Hans Rosenbergs cd "Jammin' In The Cockpit" reminds us of the value of the
'minus one' play-along albums for drummers. Danish drummer Hans Rosenberg
explores many styles on "Jammin' in the cockpit", including progressive rock,
reggae shuffle, hip-hop, cascara, songo, funk, jazz, and fusion. It's good
practice, even if you're not getting many calls to do the odd-time outside your
garage."

"Hans is one of the best f***ing drummers I've heard in a long, long time!"

Ole Kristiansen tour 2004:
"It was especially wonderfully surprising when Hans Rosenberg performed
his solo-drum-show, leaving the audience with their jaws dropped - and
the girls almost fainted... "
