Pierre van der Linden,
the drummer in legendary Dutch band Focus, has released his first
solo album entitled “Drum Poetry” for fans and students of his
varied drumming styles and techniques.
Pierre’s drumming can be heard in
numerous rock, jazz and improvisational bands, but this is the first
time it can be heard and studied in isolation, or accompanied by
other unexpected instruments also played by Pierre.
Says Pierre, “Drum Poetry was
originally made just for myself. It was just a kind of experience to
find out my limits in this atmosphere. The original CD was just made
for friends and this is the first time I have shared it with fans..."
Pierre is the current drummer in Focus
and also played with the band during the 1970s including on their
hits “Hocus Pocus” and “Sylvia”. Pierre also played on the
band’s most recent album, “Focus X”, and is currently in the
studio recording “Focus 11”. Pierre will also be on tour with the
band throughout 2017!
The album has been released on the
band’s own “In and Out of Focus Records” via Cherry Red Records.
