About Me

I'm the drummer for the german black metal band Dark Fortress, dutch/german progressive death metal band Noneuclid and german no-idea-what-kind-of rock band Sleep Is Wrong.
I'm currently studying drums at the Rotterdam Pop Academy/Codarts Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in the Netherlands with Juan van Emmerloot (Snowy White, Steve Lukather) and Hans Eijkenaar (Anouk, Supertramp), and graduated from Music College Regensburg/Germany in 2006.
I also work as a freelance drummer for tours/gigs and recordings.

NOTE: If you are interested in getting drum lessons, either in Rotterdam, Landshut (when i'm back home in Germany) or on the road, just drop me a message...!

Matthias uses Masterwork Cymbals exclusively!
