About Me

I am officially the second tallest drummer/vegetarian I know. I've been drumming since my twelfth. Started out in an old school hardcore band (Sustain -RIP- '99) but broadened my horizons since then. My best quality must be that I'm a walking meeting point for my friends in a busy club and can stand my ground in a hurricane. I've studied drums and music management at the Rockacademie (Like a conservatory for modern music). I graduated the summer of 2005, but realized that studying is not that bad and just started a new study all over again that same year. Where last year was all about exploring a corporate and international life, this year wil be about mastering communication science at the University of Amsterdam. O yeah and afcourse: Rocking out with the boyz from MCB!!!In the mean while: CHECK US OUT

My Interests

Drumming, my band My City Burning, music, films, studying, vegetarian food, cuddling with my critters (the B-squad), hanging out with friends, drinking a beer on a sunny day and lots and lots of coffee (serious you guys...)
