The first introduction between me and Adams was in 2016 during the recordings of the Powerized debut album "The Mirror's Eye". Just before the session, due to unforeseen circumstances, we suddenly found ourselves without a proper studio kit. However, at Adams they were extremely helpful, and within no time we were able to take a fantastic kit with us for the studio session.

Favorite drummer:
Just one? My absolute favorite would be Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork, Scarve, Megadeth). Inhumanly fast and technical, yet always maintaining that oh-so-important groove that many colleagues in the genre often "forget". Other favorites: Gavin Harrison, Mike Portnoy, Anup Sastry, Stef Broks, Ryan van Poederooijen, Branden Morgan, Luke Holland & Eddy Thrower
Favorite band / artist
Devin Townsend, Soilwork, Misery Signals, Textures, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, The Word Alive, Porcupine Tree, Pendulum & The Color Morale
What do you like to eat most
You can really make me happy with spinach pie!
What do you love most
Everything related to music, my band members, friends, family and my girlfriend. And of course my pets!
What do you hate
Fellow musicians putting each other down. Give each other the chance to grow and do so without judging. Everyone starts at the lowest level and reaches their peak in their own way. Give people who are not there yet, but who clearly have a lot of potential, a chance as well! Those can often become the most beautiful collaborations, and you may positively surprise each other.
How long have you been playing Adams
My first introduction to Adams was in 2016 during the recordings of the Powerized debut album "The Mirror's Eye". Just before the session we suddenly found ourselves without a proper studio kit. However, Adams were extremely helpful and within no time we were able to take a fantastic kit with us for the studio session. During the recordings I fell more and more in love with the sound coming from this Adams kit.
Since then I kept a close eye on Adams. When the time was right, I got in touch with Adams and I have not looked back since. A fantastic brand, great people and an amazing sound. A brand I am proud to stand behind (and sit behind!).
