About Me

Hi, my name is Roger, I'm 25 and I live in Fischbach Göslikon, a small Town in Argovia, Switzerland. Most of my time in my life I spend with drums. I work in a drum-shop, so through the day, I'm selling, tuning, repairing, testing and assembling Drums, Hardware, Cymbals, Sticks and everything else that depends on that beautiful instrument.
In my free time I let you guess........
Yep, i play drums. I'm preety busy coz i do a lot of jobs for orchestras, wind bands, big bands and so on... I'm also having some own bands. First, there is my rock band: The Roadhouse Preachers. And then there are also a carnival band, Mägi-Chlöpfer Mägenwil, and a Brass-Cover Band which hasn't got a name yet.
My Gear:
I have totally two drumsets (when my DW Kit arrives, I own 3 Sets)and some Snares and Cymbals and so on. But my standard Equipment is the following:
Pearl Masters Studio BRX Shells
Color: Midnight Black
HW: Black Hardware

nervige Kunden
