Hiya!
I’ve been a member here for a while, but never introduced myself. I’m Jennifer (NL), I compose songs/play drums for The Compounds, been doing sessions for various (mainly Dutch) artists and I have a few projects running, playing only live drums. I can also play some (bass)guitar and piano (also tried the trumpet once and cried myself to sleep after that).
Currently I am working on a session with an American guitarist, recording drums and some basslines for his progressive tap-guitar rock. On may 26 The Compounds will release their first EP featuring me on drums. I mainly use Pearl drums, Paiste cymbals, Gibraltar and Pearl hardware, Tama pedals (and cobra clutch), Remo heads and Vic Firth sticks. I’m constantly looking for a better sound, so this might still change ( I’ll be getting the Sonor Protean GH snaredrum in august for the recordings of the new Compounds album).
I’ve studied biology, mainly to be able to only work two days a week so I can spend 5 days on drums and earn enough to buy a house, so I can build a studio in it and record from there (this will happen somewhere between 2020-2021) Hoping one day I can quit the day job and be doing nothing else but playing drums.
Always looking for new projects and meeting other musicians! I love to talk about music and drums.
You can check my setup here (Pearl is making me a custom 10 inch tom!):

Looking forward to meeting some members on here!
