'Da Mad Drummah'

Selected Utterings

My first instrument was accordeon at the age of 7. Nowadays I don't play it too often. I get something out of guitar, bass and piano, too :)

Besides playing drums in our band, I have tried composing and writing lyrics also. That certainly needs a specific mood, which doesn't come too often :/

Maybe I lose my rock credibility by saying this (if it didn't happen already by mentioning the accordeon…), but in addition to my interests in metal music genre, I also like lavatanssit (social dancing) and rautalanka (guitar-based music originally from the 50's & 60's). My favourite band in that field is Varjokuva. Check it out!

In fact, I'm not restricted to any pre-defined musical categories. It only has to sound good to my ear!
