About
Hi there! My name is Sebastian! I am really glad to see you here.
Do you ask yourself the following questions;
Why my drumming feels so heavy and difficult?
What do I need to learn to get a useful level in drumming?
Do I have enough talent to get good at it?
Where do other people get their time from to practice?
How do I get more variations in my playing?
If yes, than you are at the the right place. I can assure you that you can get wherever you want with your drumming. All you have to do is to relax and take your time. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner, a semi – pro or somebody that does it only for a hobby out of garage/music room. We all deal with the same questions every day. No matter what level you are.

My musical adventure went always side by side as a performer and teacher. As I was fortunate to start my drumming career as a teenager having a kick ass band with very talented fellow musicians. I almost parallel had people asking me for lessons. I loved it! I loved the idea that I could help and I did! My first student after a period of time getting lessons and practising to get better got accepted to a music school on classical percussion department. That felt great for both of us! Nowadays he is amazing player living somewhere in London, England.
The reason I was able to help was that I had a great teacher too. It is crazy that whenever I see my first teacher and tell him that he won’t take it serious. This because he wasn’t the greatest performer himself but what he had was more unique than that; he had an ability to inspire, help me to map out the path that I had to discover for myself, learn discipline and be there for me whenever I needed him! But most of all, what he didn’t do was act like a being an expert. That gave me the feeling of reality that some things I had to figure out on my own. I guess this was the greatest lesson I’ve learned in my private and a career life.
Another moment that confirmed this statement of being your own expert was while studying in New York. There were a few of a great teachers there! One day I asked one of them to help me out with this certain rhythm and the way I thought it should be played – it was about a groove I’ve heard on a record I wanted to recreate. He said to me; “Sebastian, always trust your logic!”. And I did!
After that I developed a way learning on stage as from my students and until this day this is where I get the most. The biggest learning moment with my students every time is by discovering their routine of how to develop! If the routine is working than every performing moment feels like a desert.
By doing this for more or less 25 years with trial and error I was able to figure out the most optimal way of teaching the right things that all my students can profit and get the most optimal results.
After all life for me is about people, loving and sharing; if there is anything to share. In my case it is drums and music!
