hey everyone
the USA tour went great and i wanna thank again everyone involved and everyone that went to the clinics.
i had a fantastic time and was really happy with how many people showed up.
thank you !!!

and this will be a busy last month of the year. i just travelled to austria, switzerland for 4 days and will fly to istanbul tomorrow to play some shows with the wonderful jazz quartet of sabri tulug tirpan. after that i´ll fly to luxemburg to a drumfestival before i will celebrate christmas with my family in bavaria.

please check out the new 3ergezimmer album that is now available in the shop segment and on itunes.

happy christmas to you all and thank you for your support – this has been an exciting year for me and i´m looking forward to 2010.

another thing talking about 2010 ..i often get asked about private lessons and i always have to say no because i hardly find time to teach nowadays. but there will be a drumcamp that will take place in summer next year that is really great and will give those of you who want to spend some more time with me than in clinics the chance to do so. here is the link (there is only a german website sorry , for questions office@percussion-creativ.de) maybe i´ll see you there.

all the best

but folks i also got some sad news

Jerobeam have split

It is, as it is:
Jerobeam, as you know them, are history. In all those years that we’ve been on our way, making records, we did not succeed in building a structure, capable of carrying it self. We have not succeeded in transforming a vision that has a message strong enough to carry itself. There are multiple reasons, but they are to be left open.

We have experienced a lot, been playin on the streets, festivals and did some tours with bands that were friends.
We have had good times, played great music and got to know great people,
But we also had to fight from the beginning. And in the end this battle has led to nothing. And so it only makes sense to to end the fighting.

Thank you for the support and thank you for the good experiences that we could share with you.
Over and out.
But we will surely meet again. In one way or another.
