JOHN BERGSTRAND - DRUMS
John began his musical journey with banging on pots and pans in his parents home in Lerum, near Gothenburg. Eventually the kitchen tools were replaced by a real drumset and for a couple of years it was used a lot.
When John heard The Final Countdown he became very enthusiastic and played the electric organ for a while. But the drums found their rightful place again in Johns life when he started his first band in the 90s.
He currently also plays drums in A Secret River, Nine Orders and The New Black Diamonds.
John plays melodic percussion as well and occasionally writes a song or two.
