"Drumming has been parallel to my life since the very beginning, since I was a child, I started beating on everything I could get my hands on - plates, pots, spoons. My father is a musician, and I was with him wherever he played. My eyes have always been fixed only on the percussion instruments, and I wanted to take everything from them. My drums are like my beloved wife to me.
In 2010, the members of the Blues Brothers got together again to perform in several Ukrainian cities, including Ternopil.
