At the age of 13 - 14 he wanted to play drums instead. He assembled and built a foot machine, he didn’t have any cymbals but a snare. Later his father gave him a real percussion set. It was by now Stefan started to practise. Day after day he dashed the drums. After a while he joined a band with Jörg Fischer called "Frenzy". It was not a succesful combination and after a frightful appearance he took his drum-kit back to the cellar and continued practising. He tought himself.

As it turned out, not in vain in his childhood, Stefan went to music school (where he took lessons guitar and accordion). However, to the chagrin of parents, in adolescence it more like drum on pots, and other sounding subjects. In the end, Stefan sat down for a drum kit.  |

The first serious steps in this respect they were made in groups of his native city: FRENZY and FATHERS OF INTENTION (Perhaps once there, they played along with Fisher)  |
