I started drumming at the age of 7 and have never stopped since. I began with classical percussion in an orchestra while also playing drums in a jazz combo. After school, I took lessons in Düsseldorf (Drummers Institut) and later studied at the “Drummers Collective” in New York. Back in Germany, I first studied in Berlin (HdK) and after my second year, moved to Amsterdam to complete both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I feel at home in many different styles, including rock, funk, hip hop, jazz, Latin, and Brazilian. From studio work to tours around the world with well-known bands like Ploctones, Kubat, and Esra, as well as Dalfidan’s Fidan, I’ve gained extensive performance experience, which is crucial for any musician and drummer.

For me, the student is at the center of teaching. Fun is important for learning, and I believe every student has their own way of learning, which we will discover together. In my lessons, I work a lot with music. Groove, sound control, reading notes, technique, and music styles are key components of my lessons.

I hope to see you soon at Muziekcentrum Logblock, the most fun music school in Amstelveen!

Cheers,
Uli
