About Me |
|
Free lancing drummer in the Stuttgart area Schlagzeuger in Stuttgart Batteriesadeur oder wie heißt das noch gleich auf ausländisch? batteur? achso ja..... I started playing drums in 1974 at the age of 8. I got my first drumset after annoying my parents with my drumming on old washpowder-cans, which I had formed to a little drumset - soon got lessons and had my first band at the age of 12. At the age of 11 my father took me to a concert of the Jazz Great Art Blakey. In the pause I stood araound the drumset, where Art saw me and gave me a pair of his Drumsticks. Of course I did not save them, but used them up practising. As a pupil still, I joined my first professional Band called "Matter of Taste" at the age of 19. Since then I hang around the Stuttgart Music Scene and mainly play with professionals. Besides I studied law for some personal reasons since 1989 and became an Attorney in 1996 - I never stopped being a musician still. After 10 Years I stopped law business for some even more personal reasons summer of 2006 and concentrated on music again. Currently I'm working in the musical instrument branch as a drum product-manager for a distributor/wholesaler representing an international drum brand in Germany and Austria and as a drummer. I did several recordings and a huge amount of live shows. At the Moment I'm playing with several Projects - and one shining pearl is a new Trio called "Die Jünger des Klangs" (translated: The disciples of sound), which developes to be a Forum for three highly skilled individuals to show musicality as well as the pure joy of playing. No elevator music! And recently I played a Tour with the english Blues Guitarist Mick Pini, which was really great. The rest is mainly partystuff. Hopefully some more good original projects will come up soon...... Whoever has an idea: get in touch with me! (und das ganze auf deutsch:) Im zarten Alter von acht habe ich 1974 das Schlagzeugspiel begonnen und bald meine erste Band gehabt. Als ich zehn oder 11 war, nahm mein Vater mich zu einem Konzert der Jazz-Legende Art Blakey mit. In der Konzertpause stand ich um sein Schlagzeug rum, wo er mich sah - er schekte mir ein Paar seiner Drumsticks - die habe ich natürlich nicht mehr - ich habe sie beim Üben verbraucht. Mit 19 hatte ich dann meine ersten Profi-Gigs mit der Gruppe "Matter of Taste". Seitdem bin ich kontinuierlich als Drummer in der Stuttgarter Profi-Szene unterwegs und habe einige Platten und Gigs gespielt. Nebenher hatte ich von 1989 bis 1994 Jura studiert und ab 1996 10 Jahre als Rechtsanwalt selbständig und mehr oder weniger glücklich gearbeitet - aber das ist seit Sommer 2006 vorbei und ich kümmere mich um die Musik und arbeite dabei glücklich als Product-Manager/drums+hardware für einen Musikinstrumentenvertrieb. Ich habe derzeit ein wundervolles Trio-Projekt mit dem Bassisten Sandro Gulino und dem Keyboarder/Pianisten Hartmut Zeller, genannt: "Die Jünger des Klangs", das sich zu einer schimmernden Perle entwickelt, in der wir unsere Freude am Spielen genauso pflegen können, wie unsere Musikalität. Wirklich keine Fahrstuhlmusik! Kürzlich habe ich noch eine Tour mit dem englischen Bluesgitarristen Mick Pini gespielt. Wirklich Großartig. Meine übrigen Bands sind zur Zeit hauptsächlich Partymucken - aber sobald mir noch etwas weiteres gutes eigensinniges über den Weg läuft...... Wer auch immer eine Idee hat, darf sich gerne bei mir melden! Ich scheue fast keine Musikrichtung Markus spielt drumsticks.

Only one Demo recording, won prices, played as opener for Al di Meola. I left the Band in 1988. The Hipshots lineup: Udo Schöbel, voc./git., Klaus Scharff, bass, Jorge (from Argentina whose last name I forgot), keyboards, Christian "Jason" Seizer, Sax, Debbie and Joel, backing voc., Markus Hassold, drums A Band that was called together by Jason, who was in Marbella with a comedygroup called "Scherbentheater" (with Patrizia Moresco and Roland Baisch). We formed the Band to play in the "La Comedia"-club in Marbellas Marina Puerto Banus night after night in summer of 1986. One show of the band was seen by Rod Steward, who booked the band as opener for a Marbella show - unfortunately after I had to go back to Germany to finish school.

We were really playing a lot of Festivals including the Summer Jam Festival on the big Loreley Stage opening for acts like "Sly and Robbie" and "James Brown". I had my first picture in the Bravo Magazine 1988. We were planning to do a longplayer recording for a major-label in 1989 but our bassplayer had to leave the band and it never happened. We had to give up summer of 1989.

We did one long-play CD "Time's running" on Ralfs Natural Overdrive music, a small Stuttgart record-label. 1995: My old friend and late Phase IV keyboarder Darius Gall had something in the Dancefloorcharts.
