He's a professional drummer/drumtech/drum teacher from Finland. He started to play drums in 1991, when he was ten years old. His old school and band mate along with his father got him interested in playing. His first drumbeat was the intro from a Guns 'n' Roses' song "You Could Be Mine". His first experience in a band (Sacrament) was in 1992, and a year later he got his first drumkit (Trax). It was 1994 when he got his first doublepedal, Premier brand. He has studied in various places through the years, for example: Soitin Mirsch (with Matti Oiling), music school Tauko (with Tero Seppänen) and Oulunkylä's Pop/Jazz conservatory (with Timo Roiko-Jokela, Miri Miettinen etc).
