Christoph Behm

About Me

Schlagzeuger und Schlagzeuglehrer, geboren 1980 in Ost-Berlin, wuchs auf in Teltow (Brandenburg). Christoph machte seinen ersten musikalischen Gehversuche auf der Violine, die er vom 5. Lebensjahr an spielte. Neben dem Instrumentalunterricht wirkte er in Streichquartetten und Orchestern mit und gewann u.a. Preise bei "Jugend Musiziert". Mit 13 Jahren folgte der Wechsel ans Schlagzeug, erst autodidaktisch, später in regelmäßigem Unterricht. In den folgenden Jahren spielte Christoph in verschiedenen Bands hauptsächlich mit Rock-Background, später auch anderes wie Funk, Blues, Soul, Big-Band, Musical, etc. Nach dem Vollzeit-Studium am Drummers Institute in Düsseldorf, welches er mit Diplom absolvierte, folgte der Wechsel ins professionelle Lager. Christoph kann man problemlos als "All-round" Trommler bezeichnen. Er sammelte in den letzten Jahren Erfahrungen in den unterschiedlichsten musikalischen Stilistiken wie z.B. Jazz, Country, Ska, Hip-Hop, Gospel bis hin zu Punk Rock. Christoph lebt mit seiner Familie in Düsseldorf.
