About Me


"Playing rock beats is not just about kick and snare - at least if you're The Exit's Gunnar Olsen...anything and everything goes, all the time" -- Modern Drummer December 2004

"Gunnar's instinct might be toward agression, but his patience, good ears, and ability to balance heaviness with cathartic tension and release ensure that the mix is never muddy" -- Modern Drummer September 2006 

"...Has become a distraction to fellow classmates." - Ms. Serling, 1987
