Miroslav Haldina

Miroslav Haldina - Biography: My style is a compound. A compound is a composition of multiple elements. My base element is always the groove. This is the foundation of my playing. The concept of the rhythm instrument is to touch the audience's most basic instinct - to move to the beat. The following, additional elements are what I believe to be where rhythm and drumming can either converge or separate. Heavily inspired by contemporary electronic music, I aim to create a platform where I can challenge myself as well as the typical computer-generated rhythms. By recreating these atypical drumming patterns and techniques, and imparting the human/personal element through physical and mental creativity, I hope to enter the zone where I can take the left turn to make something unexpected happen. Ultimately, I wish to continue to develop a unique style, which hopefully showcases a new way of thinking about drumming, and introduce an authentic and distinctive sound by reverse-engineering the standard creative processes. I have been performing and receiving education since I was eight. During my early studies, I won a Prize for solo performance at the Czech National Competition of jazz/big bands in 2004 and 2007, and also won a Prize for the absolute winner at the Czech National Competition in 2006 (drums). After two years of studying at The Prague Conservatory, I decided to move to London where I successfully finished my Degree in Popular Music Performance, awarded by University of West London. Since then, I have been performing, producing, recording and collaborating with various artists in the UK and Europe. Instruments: Drums & Percussions - Main instrument Piano/Keys Music Production
