RENE CREEMERS
As a drum soloist Rene started in 1984 by playing his first official drum clinics. Ever since he sets the goal to play solos as complete music compositions. Besides timing and tempo he considers topics like theme, form, tension arcs and atmosphere very valuable. Where most drummers primarily take care of the rhythm, Rene tries to merge melody, harmony and rhythm. For some of his compositions he has tuned his drums to E major, which gives him the opportunity to literally play a melody, but also sometimes only suggests a melody in his rhythmic phrases. Rene is also founding member of the world renowned duo The Drumbassadors.
Wim de Vries and Rene formed the Drumbassadors together in 2000. Their goal has always been to write a repertoire of highly varied drum compositions where solos are only a sideshow. Groove, melody, dynamics, sound and atmosphere form the pivot of the compositions. Of course there is some space left in the repertoire to play a solo every now and then , but in general they are mainly interested in form and compositions. After all those years, concerts and trips it is still a thrill for them to perform with Drumbassadors all over the world.
