Zornik/Tom Helsen/Independent

After my first drum lesson at age 15, I knew I wanted to make a living by beating the drums. Around that period I started playing in my first band. Metal, it was (hell yeah!). About 4 years later I took my teachers drum seat with the band: THE HOODOO CLUB. Two years later the HOODOO lead singer called me. He was front of house engineer for a band that was looking for a drummer. Thats when I joined ZORNIK.

It was the beginning of recording albums, touring the clubs and playing the biggest festivals in Belgium and the rest of the world. On the road, I met a lot of people who occasionally asked me to play, record or join them. Thats how I started travelling the world with a nice variety of bands like Tom Helsen, Kate Ryan, Helmut Lotti, Yevgueni, Triggerfinger. In 2015 I started my own drum school and in 2016 I was rewarded as Best Drum Teacher for Benelux by the Dutch magazine Slagwerkkrant.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I try to get that moment every night. Sometimes you find it, sometimes you don't. That's life.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    The best way for teaching drums but protect your ears and your student ones is using SIH2 Headphones. Also in studio envirement no click bleeding!
