About Me

Drummer of Rage, Axxis & Silent Force
Hi, my name is André.
I am a musician, some of you might know me as a drummer of Rage, Axxis, Silent Force. I travel the world since 1998 (over 400 shows and something like 22 albums already) and make music. I worked with Alex Beyrodt (ex-Sinner,Primal Fear), DC Cooper (ex-Royal Hunt), Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath), Neil Murray (ex-Whitesnake, Gary Moore), Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy), Markus Grosskopf (Helloween) and more. Also with a lot good Producers in good old germany. I am always interested in making new friends and getting to know interesting, thoughtful people. From the first moment playing drums, my intention was to become a professionell musician. I am also intersted in bands, all kinds of music, not only metal and rock. Being in the business for 18 years.
Cheers
André
