the drums of plüsch

About Me

Bali was born in 1980 in Interlaken, Switzerland. At the age of 6 he started drumming like his father already did.
At the age of 8 he began taking drumlessons. After lots of Marchingband- and Brassbandplaying, a 1st, a 2nd and a 4th place a the swiss-drummercompetition and a try with a schoolband called "Ampere" he founded the Band "V.I.P." with 4 friends. After 4 years of playing covers as a partyband, they decided to write own songs and to do a new thing called "plüsch". They were signed at sonybmg and the first album was just a hit. Over 120'000 sales, tripple platinum and more than 60 gigs in switzerland. Today Plüsch sold over 250'000 units of 3 albums and played more than 200 Gigs. Bali was getting more and more into a professional drummer and decided in 2007 to do this as a fulltime-job. Since then he is teaching at the drumschool of Tom Beck and plays in different Bands and Projects or does some temp jobs.
So - if you need drums - don't hesitate and write a message!

You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.
