'Inside Out' is the name of my latest instrumental solo album. The compositions can be described as a musical expression (from inside out) based on the impressions of my journeys around the world for the last decade. Besides having recorded the drums & percussions, i also expressed myself on other instruments such as piano, rhodes, organ, synths, electric bass, electric guitar and acoustic guitar.
The album not only contains an audio CD but also a DVD where the entire recording session has been captured on video. As a bonus feature i included some educational material such as practice routines + tips & tricks for the drum kit, and a gear talk, showing and explaining the equipment i used in the studio.
The album will be available as a physical CD/DVD package but also as a download version (bonus material not included), and will be released in 2013.
