    BIRGER LÖFMAN

Bio:




Previous to his hard and rhythmic drumming on the Biscaya debut album ”Biscaya” in 1983, Birger had been playing with several different bands in different genres. In 1984 Biscaya released what would prove to be their last effort on record: an EP entitled ”Biscaya On 45”. But, as they say, quality never dies. In 1996 both Biscaya records were assembled by BMG on one cd for the Japanese market, in the ”The Eternal Masterworks 70s to 80s” series.

After the release of ” Biscaya On 45” Birger grew weary of Biscaya and left the band. When a planned new project that would include – among others – Michael Moon (King Diamond, Madison) and Pete Sandberg (Alien) never came about, Birger instead joined the ranks of Kalmar-based blues outfit Bo Wilson Band. He remained with the band for 9 months and toured extensively in Sweden and Denmark.

That accomplished, he appeared in studios, on TV and on stage, playing covers as well as original material. He has also had a number of drum students through the years. From 1996 he has occasionally kept the rhythm for Mountain Dew – a band playing traditional and modern Irish music.

In April 2000 Birger found himself in legendary Swedish metal outfit Destiny.

Sounds Like:

BIRGER LÖFMAN!!! Let's be honest; Everything I like to listen to is registered in my heart and in the musical part of my brain, and SOME of it comes out in my own playing, singing and writing. WHAT comes out depends on the style of music and situation I'm working in, and whatever creative mood I'm in at the moment.

    "Going Down´ is another classic metal track. The thunderous rolling drums are brilliant. Great tub-thumping from former drummer Birger Löfman. Another fine vocal performance along with great guitar work from Patte." http://www.ireviewrock.com/fretless.html

    Hello everybody! 
    Hope you´re all well!
    I wanna tell you about my ALL-NEW place for "one to one drum lessons" in Gothenburg (Sweden). This last summer I opened the "BIRGER LOFMAN DRUM STUDIO".  I´ve played ( still DO!!!) and taught drums for years and thought it was about time I started my own official drum school. So, now I can finally invite you drummers of all ages to my new studio, to get help in developing technique, stamina, power, chops, and timing  -  Flashy fill-ins, funky beats, groovy rock-rythms, double bass drumming - you name it! 
    Just tell me what you wanna work on! 

    Also, my new website for the studio will be finished by the end of November, so be shure to visit it and write in my guestbook. It will for the time being be in SWEDISH ONLY. It´s: WWW.BIRGERLOFMAN.COM   Tell me what you think of it and what you want to see in the future. Remember, this is a site for drum lessons. My ARTIST site (in English and Swedish) will take a little longer but it´s on it´s way and will have the same address.
    If you wanna get in touch for lessons NOW, call 0706-92 72 67 and I´ll set you up for your FREE OF CHARGE 30 minute trial lesson!
    Welcome!!!
