It’s been a while since I last posted here. So to make a long story short…
On November 24, 2023, we played our biggest headline concert with DYMYTRY in Prague’s sold out O2 arena. A few days later we released the first single of the “new era” of Dymytry with singer Vaclav Noid Barta.
At that time, I also reminisced about the Dymytry & Hämatom Tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It was one of the best concert tours I’ve experienced. I’m glad I can remember all those concerts through the video of my drum solo, recorded during that tour. Berlin, Hamburg, Oberhausen, Pratteln, Geisenwild, Leipzig, Vienna, Memmingen, Dresden, Rostock, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt. THANK YOU for a great experience!!!
I started 2024 with an eleven-concert Drumming Syndrome Tour in the Czech Republic called “Drums Or Nothing”. This is also the name of the new Drumming Syndrome album, which I am planning to release at the end of this year. The first single of this album is called “Drumming With The Fire” and I recorded the following video for it (info about the video is available on iReport, Spark, Musicserver, Rocksound – only in Czech, sorry).
The second single from Drumming Syndrome’s “Drums Or Nothing” album is called “Drums Never Die”. The video features a special guest appearance by the Prague Stars Cheerleaders. (info about the video is available on iReport and Rocksound – only in Czech, sorry)
In March we played our first headline tour abroad with Dymytry. In support of our second “worldwide” album called “Five Angry Men” we played eight shows in Germany, and Switzerland.
April was to be marked by gigs with the metal industrial-progressive band Mean Messiah. Unfortunately, I had to cancel these concerts at the last minute due to health reasons. Anyway, the new album of this band, on which I recorded the drums, is out and you can listen to it on all streaming platforms or buy it in my shop.
The “open air season” is about to start, which I’m preparing for both by practicing in the rehearsal room and coming up with new stuff for my Drumming Syndrome shop. Check out the Drumming Syndrome shades in several different variations!
See you soon at the Drumming Syndrome and Mean Messiah gigs and even more often at Dymytry shows – our new single “Zítřek nám nikdo neslíbí” is out.
At the end of this “News” I have added two videos… In the first one you can watch the episode of the documentary “Ikony Kamila Střihavky”, featuring me as a guest. It was broadcast by Czech Television on CT ART channel. The whole episode can also be found in the archive of the Czech TV – iVysílání, where you can watch other episodes as well.
In the second video I was interviewed in Prague Music City. It is a chat about my concert gear, drum endorsement, advice for aspiring drummers, etc. (only available in Czech, sorry)
Have a great time everyone and I look forward to seeing you at the gigs!!!
