Dom Burkhalter aka Berlin Lama, drummer from Switzerland, is one of the most versatile and sought after drummers in Europe. He’s not only a jazz and pop drummer by heart and attitude but also a modernist to the core – playing complex beats and grooves with a precision that rivals Swiss clockworks. Burkhalter excessively pushes a musical style that defies any categorization except that it’s beyond jazz, intelligent and powerful.
