Favorite drummer :
Phew, that's more than one. Looking at drummers outside the Netherlands I'd like to keep it to three: Jeff Porcaro, Stewart Copeland and Tony Royster Jr. All great in their own way. Within the Netherlands I have only one favorite, drummer Norman Bonink, the joy he radiates and the calmness with which he plays, wonderful!
Favorite band :
Wow, another tough one. Bands like Toto and The Police I really appreciate. But I also think Racoon is fantastic!
What do you like to eat most :
Pasta or (despite having no roots there) Indonesian! I love all that well-seasoned food.
What do you love most :
In terms of drumming? Having a great flow during a gig where crazy fills are invented on the spot, if they work out it's amazing, haha! Especially the looks from the other band members when you play something you normally don't, priceless!
Outside of drumming I love being with my family the most. Because I'm extremely busy making music, the time I have with my family is extra important to me!
What do you hate :
You know that, someone clapping along enthusiastically during a show but completely out of time? Yeah, that!
How long have you been playing Adams :
Only since the start of my endorsement, which was the summer of 2017.
History:
So far I have only played in the band Baby Blue and accompanied Flemming Viguurs. We have already done some very cool things such as Paaspop mainstage, Zwarte Cross megatent, the Nijmegen Four Days Marches festivities, and also supported acts like Golden Earring, Racoon, Nielson, De Dijk and Doe Maar (at the Ziggo Dome!).
With Flemming, supporting at Paradiso was definitely the coolest, the atmosphere and experience there are unique!
