BACKLINE

when Augsburg needs a good sounding drum kit…

…sometimes they call me. I'm always quite thrilled to watch other drummers playing on the gear I’ve provided. I not only love the music but also I find it fascinating how drummers can sound so different from each other on the same instrument.

In July and August I've  prepared the drums for some of my legends and had the chance to discover fascinating new music. Once again the Phonics and Prolites sound great, played by Billy Hart, Kenny Wollesen, Enrique Firpi, Daniel Humair and Kaspar Rast
"It was an honor to play on such amazing drumset and your excellent choice of cymbals, I cannot thank you enough! big hug my friend and I hope to see you soon again!" (Enrique Firpi via Facebook)
Live @ the Jazzclub Video Series 2021
During the "Lockdown-Season" the Jazzclub Augsburg produced a complete Series of online concerts, a nice opportunity to bring two of my Sonor Teardrops, the Phonic, a Meazzi Jolly and some fine snares back to stage.  The complete series could be seen in the Live@JCA 2021 Youtube playlist

Due to the pandemic situation  only two concerts took place this summer. Nicola Angelucci and Eric Schaefer, really excellent drummers, chose the Sonor Phonics for their shows. Completly different styles but very exciting to listen to.
