One can say that Tino has been playing drums for all his life. At the age of 2,5 he got his first drumset but first attempts to beat the hell out of pillows or food packages can even be dated earlier. He started to play along to the radio all day long to teach himself all the different styles and grooves and so he constantly expanded his own repertoire of drum vocabulary. Around the age of 5, he started to perform drum solos at the shows of his father's band "No Credit", which was pretty successful at this time. At the age of 8 Tino's experience of performing on stages increased when he won the honour prize at a drum contest organized by the "Frankfurter Musikmesse". There he was given a lot of drum gear and he made his first connections to the drumming world. At the age of 10 he started to play in a school band which soon went autonomous ways to write own music and perform as much as they could. Over the years Tino has played in countless bands and styles, reaching from Musicals over Jazz to Speed Metal. He also did a lot of studio work for several bands. With the beginning of his studies in Heidelberg, he soon got together with some guys to found "3 Seconds Remain". For some months he played sessions which were started and lead by Nobert Hamm (Herbert Grönemeyer). 2 years ago he played the drums on progressive guitar player Matze Wurm's Solo Album "Truth is stranger than Fiction".In 2006 he joined the Cover Rock band "Friendly Elf" and he has played many gigs since then. He is also part of amazing bands like "Tracing The Way" and "Andre Coluccelli & Songs aus Heilbronx". His latest project is called "The Rock Club", which takes place every third friday of the month. There he works with great musicians and a constantly changing line-up of talented and well-known singers. Since March 2008 Tino is very proud and honoured to play exclusively Mapex Drums and Sabian Cymbals . This was all made possible by the incredible guys of Musik und Technik Marburg. "Thank you guys!!" Tino has recently shot a little promo-DVD which soon can be seen here.
