I'll play it and tell you what it is later.

About Me

I've been playing drums for more than 30 years and teaching for 20 years. Originally a progressive/fusion drummer, I'm well versed in most musical settings. I graduated from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California and also studied privately with my mentor and friend, the late, great, Mark Craney of Jethro Tull/Tower of Power/Gino Vanelli.
In 1999 I recorded the drums for Swedish prog act Zello's second album, Quodlibet, which got great reviews in the world of prog. The band was also featured on several compilations and tribute records. Word is, that a new Zello record will be recorded in a not too distant future. To be continued...
Working from my home studio, BeatJob, I'm busy teaching acoustic/electronic drums. You'll find more info on my web site, BeatJob.se or the BeatJob MySpace page, all in Swedish, mind you! Anyone interested in studying privately with me should get in touch. Just click the BeatJob banner down below and you are on your way!
My main gig since 2006 is with the great Swedish progressive act Pär Lindh Project. PLP recently recorded a Live DVD/CD in Katowice, Poland, which is now released by Metal Mind Productions. The new PLP studio-CD is also expected to be recorded in 2008.
