a drumming man - a life in music and rythm

About Me

I´ve been into music and rythm for as long as I can remember - that is what i am "supposed" to say, but it is a deep truth. I got my first drumlesson at the tender age of six. I went pro after highschool and since then I have done a lot of touring recording and teaching. I do a lot of freelance work at the moment.... music layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 16/11/2006
Band Website: www.martinfurst.se
Influences: Everything that really rocks and has honesty furnished with a decent level of performance. The drummers that I think have been a big influence to me are: Jerry and Rick Marotta, Carlos Vega, Stewart Copeland, Per Lindvall, Bozzio. Really hard to pick among all of them like this, but this is kind of in the middle!
Sounds Like: I like to play for the song - but everything means everything so all notes counts. The old statements applies in my world: less is more, It don´t mean a thing if it aint got that swing etc. I use DrumSound custom drums and really great cymbals (!) and some obscure and old but wellsounding electronics. The wood is x5a.
Type of Label: Major
