Hi Mates !!
Finally I found the time to write something about me on myspace. I want to keep it simple, so here we go:
I play drums for more than 18 years now, and the best thing.... I still love it. I play all kind of styles, as you can hear on my profile: drum n..bass, pop/rock, but still and always METAL. I had lessons and workshops with Carola Grey, Marco Minnemann, Jo Jo Mayer, Klaus Engl, Dave Haley (Psycroptic, Aborted), which helped me and influenced me in finding my own style.
I played drums for Pergamon (Progressive Metal), Darkseed (Gothic Metal), Spi-ritual (Ethno Metal). The last year I lived in OZ, worked and travelled there, which was amazing and the best time I ever had in my life, due to wonderful people I met, nice beaches and awesome musicians (Thanks DAVE!!!!).
Now I am playing for Before the Fall (Neo Thrash, Metalcore) from Vienna and working as a freelance musician doing all kind of studio and live work. I have the great honour of being endorsed by ANATOLIAN Cymbals, which fit perfectly “to my hard hitting and groovy styleâ€. Just check them out.
I want to present you my new band, which I am really proud of playing with, Before the Fall from Vienna. We are going to release a new record end of this year and we are actually in the writing process. As far as I can see and listen to the new song, this record will kick serious ass, and it is heeps of fun and challenging playing the new stuff. We are going to play some gigs in autumn 08 in Vienna to present the new material and we will see eachother on tour next year.
If you are interested in lessons just contact me. I have great rehearsal opportunities and all the stuff you need for professional drum lessons. (P.A., Pro Drum Kits, Play Back Opps). I am looking forward to hearing from you!!!!
Take it easy, MAURI !!!!
