Watch this amazing talk from TEDxArendal where he demonstrates the use of basic objects, rare instruments or simply his own body to blend rhythm and humor - creating a unique performance!
Just two weeks after graduating from the Royal Music Academy in Silkeborg, Danish drummer Peter Stavrum Nielsen landed a dream role in the international show Stomp, with which he toured and performed around the globe for the next six years (including a spot at the closing ceremony of London’s 2012 Olympics). On returning to Copenhagen in 2008, Peter cofounded Body Rhythm Factory - a performance group that has since held over 400 concerts, touring both Europe and China.
As a young child Peter would bring out his mother’s pots and pans, entertaining the family with drums and dance. And it’s the same drive today - Peter needs to play and perform. As a musician Peter is always on the search for sounds, grooves and new ways of making music - often with stage performance in mind.
