Was great fun to play some new material with the Funk Unit on International Jazz Day.

The half an hour gig was recorded in Stockholm at Kulturhuset and broadcasted in collaboration with UNESCO & Swedish House in Washington DC.

Here´s a snippet from my Instagram

Did you check out our live stream with the Cabin Crew? If not then go to IKIZTUBE and have a listen to a short mix with both old and new material. "Disembark" are for example a new track that will be in the new album with a planned release in September 2021. 

We have just spent some days with the

Cabin Crew in the wonderful Yardhouse Studio where we recorded a full length album.

My hope is to release the LP/album in September. Here´s a clip from the first days in the studio. 

A 10 min video with moments from 2020 is

As a proud endorser of Yamaha Drums I´m happy to announce the new videos that were recorded in Berlin in March. 

The "Stage Custom Hip" is wonderful to play on and I recommend it for all drummers in the drum community!

Thanks to a new technology Nils Landgren & I were able to play a 40 min impro set 670 km away from each other with almost no latency in the sound at all. The full set is available

Very happy to join the Istanbul Agop family :)

I have already played them for a while with different band and setups and it´s very interesting to explore all the different models/series they have. Are you a drummer then Istanbul Agop is a MUST!

Hello 2022! 

Finally I was able to visit Highland, California again to do the "annual restart" where I played a lot of drums prepared the upcoming gigs & recordings and also did some writing. 

Last year in January 2021 I could not travel over the Atlantic Ocean because of the strict rules so I had really missed being here in CA.

Here is a video I just uploaded on my Youtube channel with some different clips when I practiced for the upcoming work in Europe.

First gig after this trip will be in Istanbul on January 28th with Lahza & Kenan Dogulu.

You can find tickets here.

Wish U all a healthy 2022...

Excited to share with you our 1st single "Disembark" from our upcoming album "Transit" with my band Ikiz Cabin Crew. Now out on all digital platforms, I hope you dig it. Have a lovely weekend!
