Hello, my name is Hansz Deijnen, also known as One Drop. Why One Drop? Because it is the reggae beat. I started 32 years ago on the 26th. of March in 1970 with three sisters and one brother. Sinds my mother is from Curacao we listened to a lot of meringue, salsa and of course reggae.



At the time I was 4 years old, my mother started to miss some pots and pans, and she soon discovered that they where in my room build up as a drum kit.



When I was 14 years old I bought my first drum kit. It was a transparent Pearl and I was very proud. I also started my first band named Brick with a couple of friends. We tried to play a cross-over of funk, punk and reggae. After a year or so I was asked to play in a band called G.V.D. and with them I played in a lot of squads throughout Holland.



After this band I was into death metal and played in Abscess for a couple of months. After this band I played with a lot of different musicians from my home town but this was not satisfying so I auditioned for Let's Quit, got it and played with them for 3 years, and in this period I met up with Koen, the guitar player of City Pig Unit. He asked me if I wanted to audition for his band. Which I did cause I was bored with Let's Quit and I got to part.



So I played with City Pig Unit and that's when I met up with Pieter. Than after a while some of the bandmembers had problems with their motivation so Pieter, Koen and I started recording in studio Pop-ei where I was getting education at that moment. And that's where Beef started and the rest is history.
