About Me

Hi everyone,my name is Jeroen Polderman and I am a semi-professional drummer. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 I've been playin' the drums for almost all my life and I've joined many bands over the past years. One of the bands I've played in, called 'City to City'. In 1999 the band went to a n.o 1 position in the Dutch charts with the song 'The road ahead'. In 2002, leadsinger and guitarist Alexander van Breemen quit the band and started the band Plaeto. After a while I joined him and later bass-player Jozz Verheijen and guitarslinger Joska Ligtenberg stepped in and took the band on the road. One of the highlights was the gig at Arrow Rock festival in a beautiful line-up with Paul Rodgers, Alice Cooper and Judas Priest( just a few names) In 2004 was the release of the album ' All that scares you'. At this moment the band is taking a break to write some new material but you'll find us soon on myspace too! For more info, pics and music check the website ( www.plaeto.nl ) Besides this band I play in a classic rock cover band called ROCKSESSION.(www.myspace.com/coverbandrocksession)
