About Me


Ohm Mani Padme Hum!
Drummer from Liechtenstein in exile.
Now keeping the beat in Bangkok.
I usually play impromptu gigs with my friends, the legendary RedTwenty (Panda Records Bangkok) whenever their regular stick master - my friend Bengz - is out of town.
I'm available for session work (live & studio). One single rehearsal today, concert tomorrow? No problem! I am comfortable playing anything from Rock to Pop to Metal - and most genres in between.

Currently playing with
RedTwenty (Panda Records Bangkok) (Live only)
Teenage Prostitute (BK Pro)
Roland Blum (RB Sounds)
Have previously played with
Come As You Are (Goofagarta Recs)
Acid Lily
Momokomotion (Rambutan Records)
Neuter Lover

If you are interested in taking private drum lessons you can contact me.

Whenever possible I physically abuse Paiste cymbals, Pearl drums, dw pedals, Roland electronic drums, Vater sticks, and Apple computers, thank you very much. (As Cartman said: "You can't just hit a drum. You have to beat the crap out of it!")

A big shout out to the guys who have had the patience to teach me the basics (and a bit beyond):

Kalle Ming.
Joe Huss.
And to the guy who managed to confuse the s*** out of me (which was a good thing!):
Terry Bozzio.
