Biography
Jörn starts banging on pots and boxes and thus receives the famous „Walt Disney“ Drumset at the age of 5. Within the next years he bashes the hell out of his tiny kit justifying the need for lessons at the age of 10. After various gigs and studio-experiences with local bands, Jörn got his first professional job as a drummer at the age of 17, followed by studying at the drummers collective NYC for the summer. In 2004, after just turning 20, Jörn studied at the Conservatory of Music in Hamburg. Because things went well in terms of connections, he decided to relocate from Cologne to Hamburg, spent his first years in town playing many shows and tours with a variety of different bands and founded his remote recording Studio „drumdubs drumrecording“. Within the next years his reputation as a drummer was constantly growing and after getting the call for working with the Berlin based Rockband „empty trash“ in 2007, Jörn reached the next level and finally established himself as a sought after touring musician in the wide range of Pop, Rock, Alternative, Industrial and Electronic Music. Years later Jörn has played more than 1500 live shows with a variety of national and international Artists. As a Drummer for CHER, Carl Carlton, empty trash, JR Blackmore, Max Buskohl, Georg auf Lieder (among many others), he has toured europe and the US several times, played in front of 1.000.000 people at the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin and has recorded a good amount of different Albums and Filmscores.
