Hey Morten

What is your favorite drumstick...the left or right? Just kidding!

If you could pick anyone...give me 3-famous people that you would like to sit down & have a drink with?

I am not sure I know exactly what you mean. Maybe you can refer to a particular song?

What is most important is not to put limits on yourself. I always have the overall feeling of the song in mind, and based on that I create the patterns.
 
Hey Morten!

Man, you look so relaxed when you're playing, do you have to prepare yourself in some way before gigs to get through the set? Oh, and after a gig, do you feel:

a) relaxed
b) tense
c) "it hurts like hell"

And the last question, have you ever hurt yourself during a gig?

Thanks for the compliments :)
I don't really have a "warm up program", but I just try to activate all my muscles in arms and legs. So, after a gig I always feel like "is it over already". I think my answer must be somewhere between a and b :)

I think every drummer with respect to himself has tried to use the fingers and head as a drum. Ouch! :headbang:

Hehe, thanks for the fast reply :p.
And a few other things...

1. Have you tried to see how fast you can play the snare or the bass drums, like beats/min? If you have, how fast did you go, or did the meter brake down before you got to full-speed? :)

2. Has one of your drumsticks slipped from your hand and hit a member of the band or someone in the audience?

Matt has always been one of my favorite singers, so it is great to have him in the Pyramaze fold. Can't wait to make some solid music with him and my other bandmates.

In Legend I only use one bell, and that is the one on my 20" Zildjian K Custom Ride.

Halloj! Who were your influences, and what made you start drumming?

/Uutela :worship:

My first influences was Guns 'n' Roses, Metallica, King Diamond, Ozzy Osbourne and Roxette (not shit :)

I started taking drum classes together with a school mate. Only a few weeks later he dropped it, but I was already sold, and just kept going. The fun part was of course to play along while having your idols in headphones :headbang:
