Do you want to go on tour with your band, have a relaxed day and focus on interviews and press while load in and setting up is happening? No problem! I’ll not only load in your gear and set it up, but I will also make your instruments gig-ready and line check with the FOH and monitor engineers.

As soon as you go on stage for soundcheck, everything will be clean and perfectly tuned. If you wish to change drumheads or strings, also not a problem, I’ll take care of that.

During the show I make sure everything runs smoothly and works. Any sign of trouble or technical problem, I will immediately jump to fix whatever is going on. My motto is: “We set up – You rock!”. That is always what I’m going for and working towards with my clients. 

Do you need professional tour/ flight cases? No problem, I’ve got you covered. It’s very important to keep your instruments well packed. With my flight cases, your instruments will be very safe and secured. For more information, please click here.
Are you not very happy with the sound of your drums? Or does your kit need re-heading? I can help you! I have a warehouse with more than 10 drum kits and around 83 snare drums. From Pop to Heavy Metal, whatever style drum kit you need, I have it.
Maybe you need a snare sound like the ‘Black Album’ from Metallica, or a funky sound like Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers? For more information click here.

Sometimes a tour can be a logistical nightmare. With my international network of professionals and years of experience touring the world, I’ll help you run the tour smoothly and get your equipment safely from A to B. I’ll be assisting you with anything you need during the whole process.
Do you need any storage for equipment?: I have space reserved for you!

Service is very important to me. I’m a professional touring crew member.
I have a lot of responsibility on tour, that’s why I’ll have YOU, my artist and your instruments as my highest responsibility. Customer satisfaction is my daily goal on tour, it always has been. After 27 years of touring, I look back at many successful tours and shows.

I’m eagerly looking forward meeting your band!
