Tell us a little about yourself:

Micael Öberg: musician, drummer, educator. Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden on the 7th of September 1970. His strength lies in his versatility. One day he can be doing a Country recording date and the next day turn around and be doing anything from Jazz, Rock and/or Soul. The general perception of him as a live musician is that he listens and gives the other musicians what they want. Dynamics and the overall sound picture are important to him. Micael that everything shouldn't sound the same but that the sound and 'feel' of a performance is as important as timing and communication. As an eductor he is appreciated for his way of getting the message across. The ideal that propels Micael's method of teaching is a firm grounding in the fundaments of musicianship, stick technique, communication and reading. In this way, students receive the tools that they need in order to be able to choose their future direction. In Micael's philosophy all musics are related. Based on this idea, Micael maintains that the responsibility of the educator to open peoples eyes so that musical development can occur. In this way lessons become not a monolog but a dialog. Said about Micael: "What a hell of a drummer!" - Claes Yngström "He's steady and stable. The gig is going to be great." - Eddie Oliva "It's really nice to play with a drummer who listens." Claees Bure (fd Forbes). "Hey check this out: these two takes sound like two different drummers!" JPW Micael has performed and/or recorded with (among others): Pierre Swärd, Jair-Rohm Parker Wells, Jon Ben Berger, Derrick Walker, Eddie Oliva, Erica Sjöström, Linus Wahlgren, Kelvin Brougthon, Palle Wagnberg, Sound Express, Marie Sandberg, Åsa Wännström.

A lot of the people on the site are new to drumming and their musical taste hasn't matured. So they are still into heavy metal. They haven't realized yet that other styles of music are fun to play as well. I think someone like you could offer a lot of great information for those new drummers.

jag har spelat lite drygt fyra år nu, det förstaåret gick åt till att spela ensam och senare med nån form av garageband. sedan bestämde jag mig för att, musikgymnasium ska jag gå. lagom till jag börjar på gymnasiet har jag tappat ALLT musikintresse. så jag slarvade bort de 2 första åren och nu har jag just gått om andra året. Under början av vårterminen började musikintresset smyga sig på igen och all utveckling jag har gjort de senaste tre åren har kommit i vår. jag hade aldrig ens använt mig av ett paradiddelkomp innan detta xD

Nu är det på rätt väg, men min VÄRDELÖSA teknik och koordination håller mig fortfarande tillbaks. så länge jag håller det väldigt enkelt är det inga problem, men när jag tar upp det en nivå försvinner allt sväng och mina armar och ben gör som de vill. så i höst blir det tillbax till all grundteknik och göra om det från början. "gör om, gör rätt" brukar man säga.

At 9:58pm on August 6, 2008, jezperhagberg said…: tacktack :] satt och kollade dina videos förut, och då började man undra om det verkligen var värt att spela mer :P allvarligt talat, hur låg tid tog det för dej att utvecklaa ditt sjukt störda sväng?

At 9:46pm on June 8, 2008, Kathy said…: Thanks, I like your page.
