Sounds Like: Dynamic and powerfull.........but hey, what would you expect from a guy that plays with PRO MARK sticks, hitting AQUARIAN drumheads placed on a SONOR DELIGHT drumkit with PAISTE cymbals......All these fantastic instruments I carry around the world, packed in HARDCASE cases........that really makes my day!****What people say:"Juan van Emmerloot is not only a fine drummer with a special combination of power and sensitivity, but also a patient and thoughtful teacher who inspires his pupils and helps them make the most of their individual talent. I'm sure that any teaching project in which he is involved will be well worth checking out. I hope very much that he and I will continue playing together for many years to come, as he is, for me, a very special player and a great guy to work with on all levels."
Snowy White, UK (Snowy White and the flames)****"Juan Van Emmerloot is an awesome drummer and a groove master. Chops, taste, time..its all there and he is a great guy to have a few beers with. I recommend him at the highest level. We have played together many times and I look forward to playing with him again soon."
Steve Lukather, USA (Toto)****"When I first met Juan on a Snowy White album session, I thought to myself, "Uh-oh, this guy is the real deal. No fancy kids stuff from this Drummer." Working with Juan is so professional, it just makes the art of music-making supremely exciting and makes me stay on my toes as a musician, cause if you get lazy, Juan will kick you up the ass, and let you know when you are 'letting the side down'."
John `Rabbit´ Bundrick, UK (Keyboardist for "the Who")****"Juan is one of the tastiest and grooviest drummers I have ever worked with. His light yet solid touch brings life and soul to the groove, he's a pleasure to work with and he's a great guy too!"
Curtis Schwartz, UK (producer)****"Juan has a very special, nearly spiritualistic way of getting out every one`s creativity and pushing it further and further. But the most important thing to me is that I always leave his class with a whole bunch of ideas, inspiration and a smile on my face."
Jan Pohl, Hannover, Germany (Drummer & songwriter "Monokay")****"I have the privilege of knowing Juan for a few years now, and it's quite an honour. You won't find many inspiring, passionate, honest, warm and true people like him in the world today. Combine that with his tremendous musical abilities as a drummer and composer, and you've got one hell of an artist!"
Ariën van Wesenbeek, The Netherlands (drummer of "God Dethroned")****
