"I'm very happy to announce that I, Ludwig Witt, am the new drummer of Grand Magus. I've known [guitarist/vocalist] JB for over ten years and I've been a fan of Grand Magus since day one, so it's great to be on board. At the moment I'm learning all the classic Grand Magus songs and I get a huge buzz from playing along to songs>"

Sebastian Sippola leaves Grand Magus on good terms, and says it took a load off his mind that Ludwig was chosen because they are friend:

"Honestly and objective: in my opinion Ludwig is the best replacement for mebecause he already knows
JB and Fox [bass] and he exactly knows which demands the drumming at Grand Magus will make on him. They will be a great team."
