About Me

Zacky's first Solo-CD: ka lei dos cope Also available as 2-CD-set, including a Playalong-CD for drummers!!!
Zacky was born in Greece and started drumming at the age of ten, after he was taught five lessons by a hungarian teacher in Germany and played some greek music together with his uncle.
Zacky recorded his first CD with the band "Attack" in the year 1989, which was sold international. He recorded two more CDs before he joined the band of John Hayes (the guitar player of "Mother's Finest"). In 1996, he was in Los Angeles as a guest student at the MI (Music Institute), 1998 he played a tour in Germany with Juliane Werding. In this year, he recorded as well the "5000 Watts" CD.
In the year 2000 he played with the band "Fair Warning" as a support act for "Staus Quo" and afterwards they did a tour in Japan. After the tour he joined the band "Soul Doctor" and recorded three CDs with them. Another tour in Japan followed, succeeded by two european tours and lots of festivals. In 2002, Zacky played a world tour with the afghan singer Farhad Darya. In the year after, the famous italian singer Al Bano Carrisi ("Al Bano & Romina Power") could win the greek extra-class-drummer over. With him, Zacky played a world tour in 2005 and was asked to play the album for Al Bano's daughter Christel Carrisi, who as well is a well-known italian singer. 2005, with the swiss singer and actress Mia Aegerter, Zacky also played a tour in Germany (together with Ronan Keating) and Switzerland, followed by some festivals.
Since 2004, he is the drummer of the "Helmut Zerlett Band", which is famous for being the Band of the "Harald-Schmidt-Show".
As a Yamaha endorser, Zacky already played several workshops for this company, carrying him to the drummer's festivals in Belgium, Netherlands, Hungary and Montreux/Switzerland. A Yamaha tour followed with the guitar player Marcus Deml and the bass player Frank Itt, who are as well known as "Errorhead", an own project of Marcus Deml.
