About
Professional Drummer & Groove Coach
Teaching language: German
I am a professional drummer, groove coach and music educator with over 7 years of teaching experience, as well as extensive live and studio experience.
My teaching focuses on groove, timing, musical feel and flow — not just playing notes, but developing a confident, relaxed and musical way of playing.
I currently teach at Musikschule Viamala (Switzerland) and work with students of all levels, especially adult and advanced players who want to take their playing to the next level in a musical and sustainable way.
My main focus is groove and rhythm coaching.
Lessons are always tailored to you, whether you want to:
-
improve your timing
-
develop a deeper groove and stability
-
feel more confident playing with other musicians
-
or play in a more relaxed, musical and controlled way
Education:
Studies at the Swiss Music Academy (Zurich, Switzterland)
Masterclasses with Jost Nickel, Florian Alexandru-Zorn, Dom Famularo, Peter Haas and Mario Caspar and others.

Curriculum
My lessons are practical, musical, and tailored to each individual.
The focus is on groove, timing, musical feeling, and relaxed playing.
I work with:
- Play-alongs
- Groove loops
- Song examples
and targeted exercises for timing and feeling.
We always combine technique with music—so that you not only play “correctly,” but also sound good.
The lessons are structured, but never rigid.
We adapt the tempo, content, and style to your goals—whether you play in a band, work in a studio, or simply want to play more musically and confidently.
I provide you with clear tools that you can use to continue working independently between lessons.
My lessons are particularly suitable for:
Adult beginners who want to develop good timing and groove right from the start.
Advanced musicians who want to make their playing more musical, stable, and relaxed.
Drummers who want to develop more pocket, flow, and interplay.
Musicians of other instruments who want to improve their sense of rhythm.
If you want to not only learn technique but really groove, you've come to the right place.
