OBSCURA Drummer Launches New Website; Exclusive Tour Blog

Obscura drummer Hannes Grossmann has launched his personal website www.hannesgrossmann.com, offering customized online-video drum lessons. These lessons and instructional videos will also be made available via his YouTube channel and can be downloaded to any IPod or IPhone.

Grossmann commented on the site: “I want to give some insights to my playing and show young metal and non-metal drummers new ways to increase their drumming skills and be able to practice efficiently. The practice methods I developed over the years allow me to learn anything that I want within a short time period. When I joined Necrophagist in 2003 I managed to increase my single stroke hand speed from 200 bpm to 240 bpm in four months! No matter what you want to learn – may it be hand or foot technique, speed, odd time signatures, timing, warm-ups or even songs from the bands I played with – you’ll get the chance to learn it on my website!”

Obscura are currently on tour in the United States alongside The Black Dahlia Murder. Grossmann is updating an exclusive tour blog from this tour online now via www.sickdrummer.com. This is Obscura’s third U.S. tour since releasing their Relapse debut ‘Cosmogenesis’ early last year. A complete listing of tour dates and cities can be found below.
