When I finished college, I moved to Coventry (UK) to study drums at Nexus Institute of Creative Arts for 2 years. A big step for a young, blond Dutchman, but it was absolutely amazing! Studying and playing drums for 4 to 5 hours a day, Bible studies, worship, amazing teachers and students, learning and growing both musically as personally and spiritually. Best time of my life!
Returning home, I studied drums with the awesome Juan van Emmerloot, toured the UK and Germany with an electronic indie rockband and became head of the drum department of my local church in Zwijndrecht.
Through all of my life, I truly believe that God has called me to play drums, be a worshipper and be of influence from behind the kit. I long to be a reliable, powerful and skilled musician, to move with the Spirit, to be free and live each day by the grace of God.
