OT: HOOVERPHONIC...I'll be their drummer on tv
Posted: 20 May 2011 13:30
ehehe, as many of you know I'm mainly a bassist player and a guitar player, but my first instrument was my drumset at the age of 5; later on I moved on to a professional drum set, but fate wanted me to move to guitar and bass.
Most of you may have seen me playing on tv with some international acts, such as Joe Cocker, Geri Halliwell (on piano), Alex LLoyd, Jahmelia....but THIS TIME I WILL BE ON TV AS A DRUMMER....
You don't know what that means to me...seeing myself on drums in front of a big crowd, precisely at the Arena in Verona (and what a place!!!)...I love playing drums, my friends hate me when I play it as i'm definitely too loud, but trust me, it comes from the heart; I've been playing drums for years and years, even if at the end I worked mainly as bassist, or producer.
Now, on Saturday 28th of May I will be on stage with HOOVERPHONIC (they have a great single out now) at the Arena in Verona for a main festival that will be broadcated on tv later on, and I was asked to be on stage with them to play drums. It's a lyp synch I guess, or maybe half-playback, we'll just play one song...but trust me, even if I was on tv shows like these many times, with tons of people, cameras, etc...etc...being on tv playing drums for me is like heaven!!!
I would only say that to that 5 year old little kid playing on the arms of the couch of my room....but I can tell you he did everything to make it happen.
By the way, do you like Hooverphonic's new single?
