Lander Gyselinck // drums // [B]
At the age of four, Lander Gyselinck developed a strange fondness for kitchen noises. In the following years, the drums would become the conventional instrument for expressing and imitating these noises, so he started creating his own drumset with kitchen gear. Musically, he was raised by his father and his older brother. Through his sister, a professional dancer, he started break dancing. Lander studied at the conservatory of Ghent. There he discovered a love for free improvisation playing at jams. In 2008 he met drummer Jim Black, who opened new perspectives on playing and listening to music. Lander started studying in Brussels, with Stéphane Galland and Kris Defoort, who are giving him new ways of opening up and broadening the jazz idiom. As a “jazz drummer” he plays in several trios, groups, flavouring the music with his idiosyncratic style of experimenting, learning, and listening! Always eager to learn new things, his search for sound and the thrill of making exciting music with friends goes on.
