hi everyone

i just played a week in munichs jazzclub “unterfahrt” with 3ergezimmer and we had the best time but mainly i´ve been busy tweeking my home studio quite a bit. Im very happy to have a situation were i now can offer professional sound quality drumtracks that i can record comfortably at my place. that process of getting there room- and equipmentwise was / and still is very exciting for me ( but also very time and money consuming…:-) and i already recorded a cppl of tracks for L.A. based guitarrist Ed Degenaro here.

other than that check out this song that i recorded for Ingo Hassenstein. a very good friend of mine and great songwriter from germany. The band consists basically of a cppl of longtime friends, (that also happen to be great musicians) that Ingo put together here. this was only planned to be a ” lets have some fun and record one song” – thing …but since we did have a lot of fun, maybe there will be more stuff in the future …who knows. it will soon be available from itunes.

BLUE TOUCH PAPER
stand well back

has been released this month and you can check it out here

Greb goes to india

i will spend the next three and a half weeks as part of the faculty at SAM in India. an honour and a bit funny since i was studying the indian rhythmic culture for quite some time and now i get invited to teach at the music academy there. looking very much forward to it!

more info here: http://www.sam.org.in/

i will do my own special drumcamp in august in hamburg germany ( and of course it will be awesome!! :-) i´m so looking forward to this – i wanted to put my together for a long time. this is the result of my vision of how the ultimate drumcamp should be.

( i have to say right away that it will only be for a limited number of students – this is not a clinic – its a small group setting and we really wanna get something done – so the registrations are accepted on a first come first serve basis ..so if you wanna sign up ..do it. because when the camp is full – it´s full )

for more info follow this link
