Hello folks!
I'm
Jeroen
Warmerdam from The
Netherlands
and I'm 32 years old.
Drumming is what I do for
about 20 years or so. I developed a progressive basic
style then that even till today you can recognize me by.
FAVOURITE BANDS / SONGS / SOLOS
Rush
was and still is a favourite band of mine, of course
with influences from my dad. Always in the car he
cranked up the volume when a record of theirs was on....
So Neil Peart has made a huge difference for me as a
drummer now and then. Some licks, fills, flam's and so
on I have integrated with my own style and mixed it a
little. I must say that the most of my playing is mine
but some things I've 'borrowed' from other drummers.
There are some you know and maybe some you don't..... my
idol is Mike Portnoy from the band DreamTheater. In my
opinion he is the most versatile
drummer I know and that I
like. And certainly the other members of the band are
great too. His style is progressive in a good way, not
too little,too busy, just right :)
I've made a drumkit that's
inspired of his own, all made by
myself except the shells of course, even with homemade
octoban's!!

BIOGRAPHY
(back on the story guys) >>>
I've had a few bands at the
time to learn to play with musicians.
At first there were
popworkshopbands and later on more professional
bands with paid (small-amount) gigs. In that time
I've joined several bands to find out what music I'd
liked and wanted to play. There was a not-drumming
period (1/2 years) some times because of school/work
and other things to do. But finally in 2005 I
started drumming again (not done since 2002)
and practiced 3 months very hard to get the
old form back. (ouch!)
Then I was introduced to a metal/hard
rock-band Speedchaser. We've made a demo and did
several gigs for about 3 years, but unfortunately
the guitarist quitted, and mood swings and other
things let me decide then that is was better to
leave them....
Right after that I came in
contact with Arno van Heerde the founder of Rockband
BIZAR!
BACKGROUND
I believe I
was 11/12 when I started with drumming on my dad's
kit. The only downside at that time; the kit was
about 1,5 hour travelling
away for me. I used to go every Friday to the
rehearsal-room, or a whole weekend, and stayed over
at my uncle's. After done that fore some more years
that's were I got the basics of (self-taught)
drumming :)
My father also a drummer has taught me the basics of
drumming when I was in my teens... the following
step for me was to become a better drummer than my
dad :) , and I think I've achieved that goal.
But
seriously now, I'm crazy about rhythm, drums and
drum kits>>> just to build a rhythm/beat to its full
potential.
When I was still at school I used to drive everybody
almost insane with beats on the tables,
chairs etc. My father
and myself
included thought then
that it was better to create the stuff on a actual
drum kit then at school
: )
And
now you'll know almost all there's to it.......:)
