Rhythm, energy,
stage.
- I have been playing music for over five years, and drums for the last two.
- I like the stage when it is alive: rock sets, jazz, funk and everything between.
- I have played in different lineups and now I am building my own jazz band.
- On stage I try to hold not only the tempo, but the air of the whole band.
A few Moscow competitions have already ended with prizes. More to come.

Sound
I care about the drum part not arguing with the music. Sometimes it has to hit hard, sometimes almost disappear, and sometimes simply let the band fly.
When it needs pressure
I keep the foundation tight so guitars and vocals do not fall through the set.
When it needs movement
The groove sits around pulse: syncopation, pauses and the elastic feel that makes it move.
When it needs dialogue
I listen to the soloists and the form. In jazz, drums do not command, they speak with everyone.
Formats
If you need a drummer for a lineup, a concert or an evening with live music, the easiest way is to write and calmly discuss the sound.
LiveConcert set
I prepare the program and come to the stage without unnecessary noise.
BandSubstitute lineup
I study the material, tempos and references so the drums fit naturally.
JazzOwn band
A live jazz program can be shaped for a venue, event or intimate evening.
Performances
It is better to see it live once. Here is a fragment from an evening stage: tempo, air and a little of that neon light.
FAQ
A few simple answers before a rehearsal, concert or event.
Message on Instagram, Telegram or email. It helps to send the date, venue, format and a few words about the music.
Yes. If the format needs a live set, jazz program or drums in a band, we can find the right shape.
Yes, that works. I need a setlist, recordings or demos, tempos and clear sound expectations.
Live music. Honest rhythm. Real drive.
