Instrument:
Drums & percussion

Equipment:
Premier custom-built, all maple, BIG sizes...
Vintage Paiste 2002 and new Signature series cymbals, vintage Zildjan hats back from the sixties... ICE custom-made sticks, Remo and Evans heads. I still use my vintage Ludwig-kits during rehearsal from time to time, Stainless-kit from the mid seventies and a White Marine-kit from 1963 (Yes, they are dated with a stamp...) Vintage drums are great but not to be used live...

Influences:
Mr John Bonham (R.I.P), Mr William Ward (Please, hang in there for a few more years...) Great drummers with attitude, all from Max Weinberg to Vinnie Paul, from Neil Peart to Matt Cameron.

Masterpieces:
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath(1973), Master of Reality(1971), in my oppinion the best albums from the original masters of riffs! Destroyer(1976) is another album with a great impact, I almost wet myself first time I saw that albumcover as a kid...KISS Alive(1975) Needs no explain...
Every album with Led Zep works...
Pink Floyd is another great band who deserves my respect...
Newer stuff: Soundgarden, Sugartooth, Trouble, Wolfmother... Probably missed some good bands...

Earthly relaxation:
Put on the Pulse-dvd with Pink Floyd, pour up some singlemalt and just fade away...
Or just hit a nice countryside-road with my Triumph, respire some fresh air and relax...
