My story

From the moment I could talk, I was singing and acting musicals. The first time I saw a drum set live, at a musical called "Scrooge", I fell in love with the instrument. And within a week I had my first lesson. That magic never went away.
Now I am working hard to develop my playing as much as possible, Within and outside of my own borders

Regarding teaching, I have had the honor to work with amazing teachers in my career. Those are: Rob Kramer, Eddie van Dongen, Juan van Emmerloot, Tim Hennekes and Anneloes Meier I aspire to develop my own playing and teaching for the rest of my life, but their teaching inspired me all in their own way, to guide my students and myself in a way that fits the person and their goals without limitations

 

I am a dutch drummer who loves to play good music, and I believe almost all music is good music. I try to explore new ways and styles of playing all the time, but with deep respect and big use of the old ways of playing
