I have studied drums (Pop/Jazz) and classical percussion at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna (Master degree), I live in Vienna where I have my home studio and I teach at a state music school. My current bands are: Elephants In Paradise (www.elephantsinparadise.com), Jacobs Moor (www.jacobsmoor.com), and Gravity (www.gravity-music.at). Besides working with these bands, which includes mixing/producing all albums and videos of Elephants In Paradise and Jacobs Moor, I also work as a freelancer/independent drummer, playing various styles and jobs, everything from Jazz to Heavy Metal, Jazz Trio gigs, musicals, cabaret shows, Big Band gigs and Top 40 cover jobs. I play about 100 gigs per year, mainly in Austria and Germany.
