CIRRHA NIVA Introduce New Drummer
June 18, 2010, 14 years ago
Dutch metallers CIRRHA NIVA have issued the following update:
"Wiebe Slim (ex-MELORA RAIN) will be our new drummer.We already did one show with Wiebe while supporting THE 11th HOUR, but at that time he was just doin' us a favour. Needless to say that there was a perfect match that day, which resulted in the fact that Wiebe joined the band.
Wiebe will introduce himself further on this week, but let's reveal something already right now. As a drummer he is influenced by Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Marco Minneman, Dave Weckl, Steve Smith, Benny Greb, Gavin Harrison, Mike Portnoy and many more. So it's obvious he likes PLANET X, DREAM THEATER, PORCUPINE TREE and SYMPHONY X.
For those who want to see him doin' an improvised drumsolo, check this You Tube (below).
At the same time we'd like to take the opportunity to thank former drummer Tommy White and wish him a full recovery!"
Back in April, Chirrha Niva announced: "Dear friends, we have a sad announcement to make: drummer Tommy White is forced to leave Cirrha Niva due to health problems. Although it did did not came as a surprise to us we still feel very sad about it. We can only accept his carefully considered decision and wish Tommy a quick recovery.
We really hope sometime, someday, Tom his health will allow him to pick up the drum sticks again and form or join a new band, this band will not only gain a kick-ass tight drummer but also a wonderful person. Good luck mate!"
