Favorite drummer:
Wow, I can't name just one, it would really be a list. They have all been very influential in shaping my style, and you can find something of each drummer in my playing. My biggest influences are Gavin Harrison, Aaron Spears, Ronald Bruner Jr., Dave Weckl and Steve Gadd.

Favorite band:
Here as well I can't really choose. But first and foremost the music (and the band behind it) of John Mayer. In addition, artists like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson are always enjoyable and inspiring to listen to. And Di-rect completes the list.

Pasta, oven dishes, kapsalon (nice and unhealthy), pizza, or simply traditional Dutch stamppot!

Bringing people the power and energy of music. And making as much music as possible in as many beautiful places as possible!

Getting up early and not being able to wake up calmly under a (warm) shower! Then the day already starts off completely wrong.
