The band recently reached the top 5 of the German album charts with their new album 'Phantom Antichrist', their best placing since the band formed in 1983.

For Jürgen, who used to play Sabian, this was the perfect time to get on board and to choose his new Meinl cymbals.

Asked about his favourite Meinl cymbal, the drummer replied:

"Byzance or Soundcaster! Or maybe the MB20s... or better all of them! The selection is just so big!"

Kreator will play many major European festivals this summer before touring India, Romania, Netherlands, France, Hungary, Canada and the USA.
