"MODERN DRUMMER", USA:
".By balancing improv and discipline, European jazz-and-beyond drummer Fredy Studer has created a drum world of his own."
"THE TIMES OF INDIA", INDIA:
".Fredy Studer is a polyrhythmic drummer par excellence."
"DRUMS & PERCUSSION", GERMANY:
".Der Schweizer Fredy Studer ist ohne Zweifel einer der innovativsten Drummer Europas."
"AVANT", GREAT BRITAIN:
".One of the first things you notice about Fredy Studer is an innate sense of strength. Like a martial arts master, you can sense the energy moving within his body."
Die Kulturzeitschrift "DU", SWITZERLAND:
".Ein Meister grenzüberschreitender Versuche ist der Schlagzeuger Fredy Studer."
"JAZZ-ZEITUNG", GERMANY:
".Studer hat dabei eine Virtuosität entwickelt, wie man sie höchst selten zu hören bekommt."
"NEUE WESTFÄLISCHE", GERMANY:
".Und dann ist da noch Fredy Studer - ein Meister der kontrapunktischen Rhythmik. Studer schafft es brilliant und unmerklich, den Schwerpunkt des Taktes dadurch zu zeigen, dass er ihn NICHT betont, ja regelrecht auslässt."
"WELTWOCHE", SWITZERLAND:
".Studer ist seit Anfang der siebziger Jahre und in unterschiedlichsten musikalischen Zusammenhängen einer der vitalsten europäischen Schlagzeuger, eine innerschweizerische perkussive Kraftwurzel, für die der Jazzslang das Wort "Heavy" bereithält."
Bobby Rondinelli - Fredy Studer - Jim Keltner
BIOGRAPHY
Fredy Studer was born on June 16, 1948, in Lucerne (Switzerland), where he also lives today. He is an autodidact. His music performances since the early seventies have been as eclectic as his freelance activities with musicians, ranging from "A", as in John Abercrombie, to "Z", as in John Zorn.
For the past forty years, he has performed at festivals, given concerts and workshops, and recorded for radio and television, as well as music for dance productions and radio plays, theatre and film music in Europe, Africa, Japan, Central and South America, the Caribbean, in Taiwan, India, Russia and in Canada and the USA. He has been honoured with numerous prizes and awards.
Current groups and projects include: the hardcore chambermusic trio "Koch-Schütz-Studer" with Hans Koch and Martin Schütz (since 1990); "Koch-Schütz-Studer & Shelley Hirsch"; "Phall Fatale" with Joy Frempong, Joana Aderi, John Edwards and Daniel Sailer; the Jimi Hendrix Project with Christy Doran, Erika Stucky and Jamaaladeen Tacuma; a drum trio with Jojo Mayer and Joey Baron; "The Freestyle Superstars" with Kutti MC and Julian Sartorius; the revived legendary "OM" band with Christy Doran, Urs Leimgruber and Bobby Burri; the group "Urumchi" with Saadet Türköz, Hans Hassler and Alfred Zimmerlin; the "Franco Ambrosetti - Fredy Studer Sextet"; a duo with Pierre Favre; and the percussion trio with Robyn Schulkowsky and Joey Baron. Studer also works as a freelance drummer and performs a limited number of select solo concerts.
Fredy Studer was one of the first drummers to incorporate open improvisation and grooves into his style. His works and collaboration has been documented on more than 80 recordings.
