Gijsbert Zwart's life has always been noisy. He spent most of his youth behind a drum kit, and later he studied at the Music Academy of Utrecht to become an officially qualified noisemaker.



He joined Circle Percussion where he became a specialist in playing Japanese drums.



At this moment he is very proud to be a member of Van Kampen, but his greatest goal in life has yet to be achieved. Gijsbert dreams of becoming the managing director of a "Silence Centre": a large hall with only one really big Japanese drum in it.

A drum that nobody may ever hit.
