Drums

I work as both a live and studio drummer. Mostly groove stuff. I’ve studied Jazz drums between 2012 and 2015 at HSLU in Lucerne, Switzerland and enjoyed drum lessons with the greats of Rico Baumann, Tobias Friedli, Christoph Steiner, Dominik Burkhalter, Norbert Pfammatter, Marc Halbheer, Lenny Reece, Bernard Purdie, Dré Pallemaerts and James Maddren. With more than 444 shows in my carreer I’m quite the experienced drummer for Hip-Hop, Pop, Soul and Funk. Hit me up if you want to collab!

Prod

REEL BEETZ is the producer name of drummer Joel Studler. With great love for mellow drums and spicy basslines he crafts songs that are rooted in and evolve from Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk. He incorporates Jazz harmonies, Hip-Hop drums and Funk basslines into his raw and genuine production leading to a colorful palette of sound and texture. With his unique drumming style and the blend of live instruments with samples he creates an organic and original sound that just feels right. Live he is joined by talented musicians in performing a live set that combines the continuity and danceability of a DJ set and the dynamic range of a Jazz band. The beat goes on & on.
