Marcel van Cleef first solo-album „Traffic Jam“Marcel van Cleef first solo-album „Traffic Jam“

To top

Van Cleef reaches an absolute milestone in his musical career. He redefines the broad spectrum possibilities of the usage of percussion and through his well developed way of playing, he reaches an unprecedented height.
Traffic Jam is a splendid solo project. A just as fascinating as overwhelming musical product.
Marcel van Cleef is an extraordinary appearance in the world of music. At two years of age he picks up his first drumsticks: it was the beginning of an amazing musical career. At the age of 12 he made his appearance into the local music scene. Long before graduation from the Conservatory, he shared the stage with internationally acclaimed artists.
He finds himself in great need to add harmonics on top of the rhythmic component, so he is constantly in search of new sounds, roaming the world, to integrate harmonic structures in his rhythmical work. He combines percussion and pulsatile instruments: the result is the creation of an unprecedented versatility of sounds which at the same time enables him to sound like a four headed band while playing solo.
Using 8 foot pedals, which themselves trigger 2 bass-drums, 2 djembés, a woodblock and 2 hi-hats, he creates the base rhythm fundament of fine drum sounds. His arms handle tom-toms, djembés, congas, cymbals, udu, cajón, tambora and hangs. Combining these elements he delivers a set of raw and refined emotions and rattling fireworks. On the top of it all sound his comforting vocals. Van Cleef excels in making extremely complex arrangements sound open, fresh, and at times surprisingly simple. He adds an irresistible sense of humor to it.
It is almost beyond comprehension that the compositions on Traffic Jam are written and produces by just one man, the same man that performs solo live on stage. It is melodically sublime and rhythmically virtuos. Marcel van Cleef redefines the art of playing drums.
Van Cleef spatters energy and peaking musicality. His performances are impressive and touching; an ultimate challenge, a musical pinnacle and a tremendous source of inspiration to everyone who hears or sees him. Traffic Jam is a splendid solo project and a fascinating show: Brilliant!

Marcel van Cleef. Rising star. Solid performance. Raw emotion.The story of an extraordinary dutch drummer on the road to success. It has taken over 2000 performances with rock groups, big bands, jazz trios, cooperations with well known musicians from America, Africa and Europe, loads of demos and clinics, CDs, DVDs, now Marcel van Cleef delivers with his new CD „Traffic Jam“ a work which is indusputably original and inspiring.

Schlagwerk Endorser Rhani Krija on Tour with StingSchlagwerk Endorser Rhani Krija on Tour with Sting

To top

Whether as front man of his band The Police, or since 1985 as solo artist, Sting has always enjoyed, and indeed been successful in, combining musical styles such as jazz, classical, folk and country– and in doing so, has created his own unique style.

The British artist, who, amongst other things, has also enjoyed success as an actor, is well-respected on the international music scene.

Everything he touches turns to gold, as did his collaboration with Schlagwerk endorser Rhani Krija in 2003.
What started as a studio project turned into both a friendship and a long-standing musical collaboration which is still in effect today.

Sting is currently on a major world tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra presenting his new album "Symphonicities".

Rhani Krija is also involved, as are numerous Schlagwerk instruments.
His current set-up is based on a Cajon Fineline comfort "Mocca", Cajinto and Bass Cajinto, as well as numerous cajon add-ons.
Also featured, as ever, are the Skin Udu and various frame drums.

Up-coming dates for the world tour can be found at:

Neuer Schlagwerk Endorser Bodek Janke live with Lena Meyer-LandrutNeuer Schlagwerk Endorser Bodek Janke live with Lena Meyer-Landrut

To top

His CV takes your breath away.

At the tender age of 11 he took drum lessons at the Baden conservatory.

His talent was fostered by additional saxophone and jazz vibraphone lessons. Over the years that followed he travelled and studied extensively, studying at the Cologne conservatory and then pursuing postgraduate studies at City College New York, where he gained a Master of Arts degree.

He also travelled to Kolkata in India where he studied composition and arrangement, before studying Brazilian and Afro-Cuban percussion under Alfonso Garrido.

Naturally, the travelling musician did not remain undiscovered for long, receiving various grants and numerous prizes over the years.

At just 14 he received a grant for talented individuals, and this was followed by a scholarship from both the DAAD [German Academic Exchange Service] to study in New York and from the GVL [German Society for Performance Rights] for a music project overseas.

He has won many awards for music; twice receiving first prize in Jugend jazzt, not to mention the Baden Wurttemberg jazz prize, the German Record Critics Award and most recently the Maritim Solistenpries at the Neuen Deutschen Jazzpreis.

But it is not because of his trophies that Bodek is so popular and sought after as both a live and studio musician.

He is incredibly adept in his playing and is very responsive to any musicians he is playing with. He swiftly wins over both the hearts of his fellow musicians and the audience through his sensitivity and finesse.
He has been playing Schlagwerk instruments for years and his work with Schlagwerk is borne of this conviction.

Thanks to Roland Peil, Schlagwerk endorser and percussionist with Die Fantastischen Vier, who introduced Bodek Janke to us, we can now count Bodek amongst our endorsers.

We look forward to a long and happy working relationship.

With Bodek Janke, Schlagwerk is gaining an extremely talented, multi-award winning musician, who plays percussion instruments made by Schalgwerk with passion and utter conviction.

Matthias Philipzen DVD "Heck Stick, Side Kick, Shaker & More"Matthias Philipzen DVD "Heck Stick, Side Kick, Shaker & More"

To top

During the 96 minute tutorial, Matthias Philipzen demonstrates the multifaceted and effective ways in which Cajon add-ons, such as the Heck Stick, Side Kick and various shakers, can be used.
Information covering the basics, combination potential, detailed close-ups and live play-alongs guarantee a varied focus, alternating between watching and playing along.

The instructional DVD is complemented by an e-book with print out sheet music and a play-along function.

Once again, Matthias Philipzen proves that Cajon, combined with Cajon add-ons, is capable of replacing a complete drum kit, and offers endless musical possibilities.

The 1st European Blues & Roots Masterclass took place with Steve Baker, Dick Bird and Martin Roettger in Le Kleebach in summer 2009. A total of 30 students attended and spent five days and nights celebrating the joy of hand-made music in a perfect location. The beautiful surroundings, excellent accomodation, delicious food and affordable prices in conjunction with exceptionally musician-friendly conditions offered an ideal setting for the event and led to numerous requests for a sequel in 2010, with which we were happy to comply.
