About Me


Hello friends and thanks for visiting my profile! My name is Rainer 'Raikku' Tuomikanto, I'm a professional drummer, drum teacher, drum technician and a drum clinician and also a Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals, Balbex drumsticks and B-Band microphones endorser. I grew up in the metropolitan area of Finland listening to a lot of different styles of music. I started playing drums in 1991 at the age of ten and a within the next couple of years I joined my first band and got my first drum kit. I've studied in various places and with many talented drummers through the years, for ex. Soitin Mirsch (w/ Matti Oiling), music school Tauko (w/ Tero Seppänen) and Oulunkylä's Pop/Jazz conservatory (w/ Miri Miettinen etc.). I started throwing gigs in an early age and to this day I have toured in douzens of countries and cities all over the world.
If you need drum lessons, a drum tech, a session drummer etc... Don't hesitate to CONTACT !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PigQlADpgE A brief example of how I execute double bass single strokes. Not sure what to call the motion, but there's a bit of swivel and moeller in it.
