Roger
Roger was born in 1959, three years after Bill Haley’s breakthru with Rock around the clock. Raised in Fröslunda, Eskilstuna. He had older siblings that played The Kinks, The Beatles, Rolling Stones an' The Hollies an' other great bands, everyday during the sixties.
Roger heard rhythms an' stole lovika knittin' needles from his mother, rigged pots an' pans an' played rhythms to the music.
During his first years in school, Roger performed as rockstars, with his friends, on saturdays on a thing called ”the funny hour”.
At that time he played banana cardboard boxes, now he plays TAMA.
He learned from drum teacher Briese, learned to played marches anä real ”battery”. Has played in several combos thru out the years. He don't like the word ”trumslagare”(drum hitter).
You play drums!
You don't hit 'em!
One odd interest he got is, clearin' reed outta lakes in the summer.
He has been the first man on the raft at the lower Hyndevadsån
from 1976 until 2004. A minor injury with the scythe 2004, has kept him away from the cleansin' for a couple of years.
People think he looks hard, but I can tell ya, it's only in the belly.
Meet them boys
