Jan Haspeslagh (B)

Together with fellow graduates, Tres Mambini was formed, an energetic drum trio with a high show value. In 2011 and 2012 Jan played with Johnny Berlin, a promising rock band that unfortunately disbanded.

As of now (2013) he plays drums with Ozark Henry and also has his own cover project BAM (www.facebook.com/bamliveshow). About his drum endorsement: “I’ve been playing Adams 8000 for a very long time and as long as I may / can drum, this will not change! Beyond the sound I expect from my ideal drum set, I am very satisfied with the service that is always present at Adams. It is impossible to pass by without stopping…”
