Hello everybody, and welcome on my new drumming page. I am George Tzitzifas from Greece, and I am here to present to you my work. Many know me as "Jiggly", my nickname from BARE INFINITY.
I started drumming at the age of 12, in 1997. I have been active in the Greek Metal scene since 2003, by joining Corpus Vile.
Currently, I am the drummer of the known Greek female-fronted Metal band BARE INFINITY. I am also the second half of the SAPREMIC PLASMA TBM/Industrial band along with Vincent Andelmoth, and I am recording the drums for Spyros Gelekas' metal Opera project, CONTEMPLATION. I also have my own Grind/Gore/Death metal project, CRANIECTOMY.
I have obtained a Music Technology Course Diploma from "OMIROS" Institute, 2004
I am studying Audio Engineering & Recording Arts at SAE Institute Amsterdam, and I am also apprenticing to George Kollias (NILE), in order to get my professional-class drumming diploma from MMS Athens.
My drumming style is quite versatile, specializing in medium-heavy music, but I also have an appetite for hard electronic music and tribal stuff. Here are listed some bands/artists I work/have worked with (Capital=still active in those):
BARE INFINITY (2005 - 2008) - Gothic/Power/You name it/Metal
SAPREMIC PLASMA (2006 - TODAY) Industrial/TBM
CONTEMPLATION (2007 - TODAY) - Metal/Rock/Opera (Guest drummer)
CRANIECTOMY (2006 - TODAY) - Grind/Gore/Death Metal
Locust (2002 - 2003) - Doom/Death metal
Coprovomit (2004) - Sludge/Grindcore/Death Metal
Corpus Vile (2003 - 2004) - Death Metal
