When I was in on-line one day, I met a person belongs to Sri Lanka who play drums, Now Lives in Berlin – Germany called Tyronne Silva.
Look at his Biography....... Interesting. Thanks...........(SMCreations)
Tyronne was born on July 27, 1973 in Nattandiya in Sri Lanka. Already as a small child he used to listen to a lot of music and had a great interest in drumming. he has always tried to play whatever he heard, but he usually had to play with his hands on his legs or with pens on the desk, as he didn't have a real drum. With 9 he has built up his very own drum set. The bass drum has been a huge empty wooden tea box, the pedal has been made of wood and a tennis ball has served as the kick. Toms have been different-sized plastic buckets, and the snare has been a metallic bucket, percussion have been empty cola and nivea cans. All the cymbals have been self-cut out of sheet metal. It all has worked as a real drum set, even the kick pedal,one of his friends named Sudath Nilantha has given him his first drum lessons, and he has really learned a lot from him. Some time later he has taken lessons from his friends teacher for a few months, and afterwards he has been introduced into drum notation by another teacher. By ten he has already played in bands. he has moved to Germany when he was 18, in 1992. Just after four days he has been looking for a drum teacher, and his first one Andreas Reiche, by whom he got to learn the basics of drumming. he has learned heavy-drumming later with Marcus Rein, who is the current drummer with Destruction. Afterwards he has become a pupil of Lutz Renziehausen, author of 'Drums, vols. 1 and 2', and studied techniques, different styles, reading and writing notation and much more,he has attended uncountable concerts, drum workshops and kept endlessly listening to music. Learned really a lot from Lutz Renziehausen's books 'Drums, vols. 1 and 2', but also from ' Stick control',and many other books and videos, e.g. Manni von Bohr, Dave Weckl, Terry Bozzio, Billy Cobham, Mike Portnoy,Dennis Chambers,dave lombardo,vigil donati,igor cavalera who have showed him to come forward with his drumming. And of course,his different bands, who have helped him a lot as well.
he has spent 6 to 8 hours rehearsing for many years at the beginning, sometimes even 10 to 12 hours. Nowadays he also rehearse everyday at home on his pad or on the real set in the rehearsing room. When he arrived in Germany he didn't have his own drum set, so in order to keep on playing he has banged a weight on a chair to keep fit.he has also been able to play his teacher's set in his rehearsal room.his second teacher Marcus has helped him a lot, and let Tyronne to use his kit as well as for live gigs with his first German band. At that time he finally has owned three sets: two Tama Rock star (two sets in one) and an Ayotte Custom. but he still kept the weight there just in case!he has been really happy, when he got his first endorsement by ANATOLIAN cymbals in 2003.he has always dreamed about this like every drummer is doing. At the same time he also got RMV drums,he is so blessed to be endorsed by PEARL drums, ZILDJIAN cymbals and drumsticks, BEYERDYNAMIC and also by STAGGE MUSIC for drum cases .
