Next to my work as a drummer, I\u2019ve been playing handpan for twelve years now.
I\u2019m teaching handpan (check out the other half of this website<\/a>), and I perform live. I love playing this instrument live. I do solo acoustic shows, but am also working a lot with digital effects combined with handpan.<\/p>

Feel free to check out my live-events<\/a>, or check what that could sound like<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
