Hi Everybody!!
Welcome, my name is Jost Nickel and -- I sometimes can hardly believe it -- I am a drummer and I actually make a living with it :) I am working in Germany most of the time but I also recorded quite a few CDs in France in the last couple of years. I am happy that I had the chance to work with singers, producers and arrangers whose work I admire. I played and recorded in a lot of countries in Europe, Africa and the US. Currently I am a band member in Jan Delay's Disko No.1 (I LOVE to play in his band) and drummer and musical director in Mousse T.'s band.
I have listed some artists that I played live and recorded with below. I have also posted some videos from live gigs - songs from different gigs and for the drummers--but only for them ;-) some solos.
