| Eskil Sæter: General Info
|
| Member Since | 1/31/2007 | | Band Members | Me :)
| | Influences | The 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. | | Sounds Like | Me.

| 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a few years, where I (among other activities) played drums and sang backup vocals for a cover band called Mean Genie (no longer active). |

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. |
