Marcel van de Vondervoort, Astrosoniq\'s regular drummer and producer, became ill in 2008 which lowered his stamina in such a way that the group was forced to look for a new sticksman. It is remarkable that Roeland steps in because he left his former band Green Lizard due to problems with his back.

During his revalidation Roeland played with folk outfit Wè-nun Henk and worked on two shows by Theater De West as producer and performing artist.

Despite his fysical limitations Marcel van de Vondervoort will continue to be part of Astrosoniq as percussionist and \"space-dj\". He will also keep working as producer/mixer.
