TOMASZ PIETRZAK

Rhythmic engine of My Waterloo | versatile drummer & groove specialist 

Born in 1981 in Szczecin (Poland), I’ve been practically glued to the drum kit since the age of 16.

My musical journey is one continuous exploration.
I hate being boxed in, and that’s clearly reflected in my track record. 

I’ve explored almost every corner of the musical spectrum: from the raw energy of black and thrash metal
to the deep grooves of rock-blues.
From commercial pop-rock and complex prog-rock to groovy funk and jazzy projects.

Specific idols? I don't really have them.
I believe you can learn something interesting, unique, or inspiring from every single drummer out there
to incorporate into your own playing.

Highlight:
Over the years, I’ve played countless shows and have a (short) tour under my belt.
But the absolute crowning achievement of my work so far?
Playing a packed Poppodium 013 during a benefit concert.
Performing as the support act for an ecstatic crowd of over 3,000 people is a feeling you never forget.

The hunger for the stage is as strong as ever. The goal? 

To experience that magical energy of a massive venue again real soon!
