It did not take much time to find THE instrument that I love today.

The drums.

I tried some others before like piano, flute but.. I HATE reading music! I know, drums have music notes, too. But that is completely different.

In 1998, I moved from France to Germany and started playing drums.
I had a hard start because I did not know any german words.

If you had asked me the same question twice, I would answer .. yes and then .. no.
I had difficulties understanding my drumming teacher. And I did not really learn my drum lessons the first 4/5 years because I was a bit lazy.

One day my teacher, Ludwig Schmitz († 10.05.07) came with an amazing video of a professional drummer, Thomas Lang. I realized that what I am learning now is so much more important. I could play like that if I would learn more.

So I started to learn and try everything on my drums. I developed my techniques and bought more and more stuff for my drums. At school I played in an orchestra, jazz-band, rock band, symphonic orchestra, etc. There were projects from my music school, like musicals or drumming ensembles (eg. 8 drummers playing together).

I started to produce some songs on my PC but never tried a lot because I did not understand the programs (more details about that on project PITCHEDsenses on my website). I also learned how to use graphic and video editing programs. The real reason was to make so-called fragmovies of a game called Counter-Strike. I played online with team mates and we had to make publicity for our team. So the idea was to show the people how good we can play this game. This is how I started to use my PC as a workstation and not only for computer games :)

Then I found my passion in music and all my experience in all of these useful areas (video, music, graphic) were so important that I had to know how I can use them. I just kept trying and finaly knew what I had to do...
