Belgian drummer Michael Schack tells us he is keen to get to Australia for the Sydney Drum & Percussion Show May 27 & 28 Rosehill Gardens
You might already have seen drummer/producer Michael Schack performing on big festival stages, in clubs or concert venues in Australia and New Zealand as the energetic E drummer with Netsky Live, as a solo performing drummer/V-Drums product artist at music events worldwide or maybe you recognise him from one of his numerous performance clips on YouTube, both solo and with SquarElectric. Thanks to his growing fanbase and an increasing buzz on social media, Michael is also making his name as a unique and in demand solo #djdrummer, even far outside of his native Belgium.
Indeed, Michael Schack is not your regular “drummer who plays on top of a backing track”: in his world, the drummer is a one-man-band, with Michael playing a fully live triggered, inspiring and interactive multi-genre repertoire on which the audience can truly rave and enjoy some spectacular drumming. Helped by the very latest developments in e-drumming technology, Michael’s drum sound is all about a true #livebeatsrule impact. Over the years, Michael has won several awards, has been nominated for “best clinician/ demonstrator” in international drummer magazine #polls and just recently (Feb 2017) received the #E-drummerOfTheYear award for the third time. He’s also an affiliate instructor on drumeo.com and contributes to the development of Roland’s V-Drums and E-pads since the early 2000’s. He is worldwide seen as one of the main artist faces of Roland’s SPD-SX and the recently launched V-Drums flagship, the #TD-50. He also produces sample packs, one of which is the successful “Hybrid Beats Session” pack, released through Hospital Records Loopmasters.
