Reviews

“When I work with artists I always want to convince them with a great preproduction…with Koen’s samplepack I can definitely do that!”

Arjen Lucassen

Ayreon

Recorded in the same studio where I recorded albums for EPICA, Powerwolf and many others. Great loops for inspiration and the oneshot samples can be used to enhance any drumsound!”

Joost van den Broek

Top producer (EPICA, Powerwolf, Blind Guardian)

Koen is one of the best drummers I’ve ever played with. It’s great to have him ‘with me’ on my computer in these weird times so I can still get inspired by his drumgrooves and write new songs for The Cards!”

Paul Quinn

Saxon, The Cards
