Erik Engebretsen

HEY FRIENDS AND WELCOME TO MY OFFICIAL MYSPACE SITE I forced my way into life a long time ago and still do after a lot of fights and more to come in the future I started playing drums at age 5 or actually before that my mum told me.... hitting pots and pans before i could even walk or talk. She bought me my first drum kit when i started playing concerts/gigs at age 13, spending all her savings on this little crazy drummer boy. Then time went by with endless hours, days, weeks, months and years playing everywhere i could manage 2 get in or get hired and here i am. So because of my mum i work as a professional drummer and percussionist. The list is endless with artists and bands that I've worked with through the years, so i'll save you the boredom...but you wonderful musicians reading this know who you are anyway.BREED NEWS NOVEMBER 2007:We did over 6 months with auditions, stand-in drummers, endless interviews, long discussions and near call-offs, Breed did several gigs including Hell music festival, Oslo day of music, Kvinesdal rock festival and support for Killswitch Engage, all with different drummers. (thanks again guys!!) Then when we did the Halo 3 kickoff with "Sølvguttene" and "Ronni Le tekrø", we tried out this new guy, Erik Engebretsen from Fredrikstad and he just blew us away! With his incredibly hard hitting and bad-ass drumming he crushed all his potential competition.METAL RAGE NEWS MARCH 17TH, 2008:According to MelodicRock. com, Tony Mills will embark on a Scandinavian tour in April in support of his new solo album, "Vital Designs".
