InfluencesThe drummers that inspire my playing directly these days tend to be groove-oriented players, with enough skill to play rock-steady grooves, and show off when the music calls for it (along with a couple of chop animals):
  • Daniel Adair
    (Nickelback, Martone)
  • Chad Szeliga
    (Breaking Benjamin)
  • Ray Luzier
    (Army Of Anyone, Korn)
  • Jeff Campitelli
    (Joe Satriani)
  • Neil Sanderson
    (Three Days Grace)
  • Ben Hall
    (The Butterfly Effect)
  • Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan
    (Avenged Sevenfold)
  • Mike Portnoy
    (Dream Theater, etc)
  • ...and so on.

    Then there are the guys who are just in a league of their own, who I use as a source of inspiration, but who I simply aren't able to "steal" much from:
  • Mike Mangini
    (James LaBrie, Steve Vai, Annihilator, etc)
  • Gavin Harrison
    (Porcupine Tree, 03ric)
  • Simon Phillips
    (Toto, Gary Moore, etc)
  • Marco Minnemann
    (Paul Gilbert, Necrophagist, etc)
  • And of course: The guys in Lucky Lew, Mean Genie and anyone else I've played or jammed with. As a musician, nothing inspires more than playing with others.

       About Eskil Sæter
    Well, I'm 28 years old, from Bergen in Norway, and I play drums in Lucky Lew. Check us out, we'll be touring all over in the future, and we'll be heading in the studio to record our second album in 2009.

    Musically, I'm primarily a drummer, but I've played guitar for ten years, took piano lessons as a kid, played various horns in a few marching bands, I can find my way around a bass and I think I have a semi-decent singing voice (well, I can mostly hold a note, at least).

    I've also lived in Australia for a few years, where I (among other activities) played drums and sang backup vocals for a cover band called Mean Genie (no longer active).

       The music player
    All tracks feature yours truly behind the drum kit.
    Dirt This is the upcoming single from Lucky Lew. The drum tracks were recorded in spring 2008 using a Roland TD-3 electric kit triggering various sampled drum sounds through MIDI.
    My Kitten Sleeps The B-side from the Dirt single, recorded during the same session.
    Cover Medley A collection of cover song snippets from Mean Genie's 2006 demo recording. This was recorded at Sub Studio Melbourne, using my old Mapex M kit.

       My music making equipment
    Main drum kit Sonor Force 3005
  • 14" snare, 22" kick, 10", 12", 16" toms
  • Zildjian A Custom cymbals (+ a Wuhan china)
  • Gibraltar rack/hardware
  • Click here for full specs and setup
    Practice/home kit Pearl Rhythm Traveler Gig
  • 10" snare, 16" kick, 8", 10", 12" toms)
  • Practice cymbals/pads
  • Guitar Fender acoustic

    hi!
    iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape.
    we are part of your myspace family.

    "You've got to follow your passion.
    You've got to figure out what it is you love.
    who you really are.
    And have the courage to do that.
    I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs
    is the courage to follow your own dreams." O.W.

    we follow our passion!
    we love to make music with dreamscape!
    what's about your dreams?

    kind regards!

    haha! Well, I'm almost serious!
    I had a lump on my back which I had to have removed. Nothin' serious, no need to mention the "C" word. So it wasn't alive and it didn't have an eye or weird tiny limbs but I like to think of it as my conjoined twin. Now I have a cool scar on my back, which makes me even more metal than before...check out my new track Nowonmia...see how metal I am!

    hi!
    iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape.
    we are part of your myspace family.

    3 lies of guitarplayers:
    "i can't hear me!"
    "today i don't want to play solo."
    "iam in tune!"

    and seriously:
    if you like what you hear... buy or let die!
    any band need the support of their listeners!
    progressive bands enrich our world.

    kind regards!

    HAHA! Me too dude! It would be nice if we could get together and play... Matt and I have been working on some ideas and probably have about 3 albums of unfinished bits and pieces while Lee has busily been collecting guitar equipment. He now has a Les Paul, a Strat a Yamaha Fat Strat, a Fender Tweed, a Marshall (real vintage one), a Maton Hollow Body and enough effects to cover about 2 metres of floor space! Oh, and he has a new 16 channel sound card. Jay has got an electric kit to go with this Acoustic one...so all the foundations are there.
    BUT I had to have an op. on my back right after Romy was born and Mat got a promotion and had to fly inter state a few times...So we wont even start rehersing again til Jan. Hangin to get it happening but life is getting in the way at the moment...hopefully we'll eventually get there.
    Apart from that all is well.
    Started building my first guitar (rebuilding the old red Les Paul into a REAL one! gonna be cool)
    Desk jobs are cool, if you wanna get fat and bored, I know I am!
    Catch ya.

    yeah!!!
    Nice one man, rockin' tracks!
    Top playing too. Good to hear man.
    Glad it's all goin' well, any more news on the china thing?
    Oh, happy birthday for the other week too.
    We've been getting more serious of late which is really cool.
    Jay just bought a electric kit so he can get into it more from home and we can trigger a bunch of stuff as well as use live drums.
    Even Lee's keen to get more serious about things!
    We're gonna start recording in mid Sept.
    Can't wait!
    Danger Will Robinson





    Jul 20 2008 1:12 AM

    Yeah, demo recording.
    No I'm just doing Backing Vocal with Jay.
    Matt is the lead Singer.
    Probably forgot to tell you about the new bub. Sorry about that!
    Going to rehearsal today. Gonna put another bit up today before i leave.
    Got songs coming out my butt at the moment!

    Hey man,
    Yeah saw the word about the China thing on the Lucky website. Sounds exciting. I keep looking there to see if they've updated your bit of the bio. nothing yet..
    Yep, all those new bits are ideas for the band to work on. Been getting into the songs on Matts site lately with the boys. Rockin them up a bit. We're nearly ready to get into the studio.
    Rel's good, heavily pregnant with our second bub due in Oct. Tom is a liitle maniac runnin' round the house from morning til night. He turns 2 next week just before yours (you old bastard)!
    Good to hear things are goin well.
    Keep in touch.

    Great to hear you're back in the game!
    I too have blisters to prove I'm a bass player again.
    We've had 3 rehearsals now and we're starting to find out feet.
    Got one sound pretty much down now and the rest should come a lot quicker. We've stripped everything right down to basics and are building as we get more into the songs so it's taking some time but it's fun all the same. Realistically we probably wont be ready to gig for a while yet but that's OK. I'm just enjoying falling in love with bass playing again.

    Hey Eskil,
    I noticed there wasa gig scheduled for Lucky Lew last week. Did you play?
    If so, how was it?

    Ahhh, back in the old days when I was a lad at Uni, singin' in Mean Genie.
    Those were the days... life was simpler then, things were cheaper, but the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time...

    Happy birthday MATE! Hope you are having a good one. Been a while since we had an update. What are you up to in your 27th year (time to change your "about me" bit too!)?
    Tom just had his 1st birthday, which was cool. He's almost walking now. So far he plays Guitar, Ukelelle, Bongo's and Keyboards. He's gonna be a gun by the time he goes to school!
    Going to see Blue Panther on Friday. Should be fun. Hope you're doing well. Speak soon,

    Hey man,
    Feels like it's been ages since we had a bash together. Miss it heaps. Haven't played in a band situation since the last gig. God it seems like so long ago.
    I've been writting little bits of stuff at home now and then but I just need to have a jam again soooon.
    Gonna catch up with Lee soon and hammer out some stuff with him and a mate of his. Can't wait.
    Hope your search for a band is still on. (if you can't find anyone just join anything to get back into it).
    I know how much you love to jam on shit. Really hope you get something happening soon.

    Hey man,
    Went to check out the Mean Genie site the other day. I see it has finally gone the way of the Dodo. Ah, the memories! Well, hope your search for a band is going well. I'm gettin' real itchy fingers again. Might have to speak to a few people about a casual thing. Need an outlet.
    Anyway, hope all is well,

    Then travel a bit
    Then come back, work in a cafe,bar whatever and study music at the college of the arts
