“I like to describe Jean as a natural born drummer. He has unbelievable feel and an innate understanding of how to create great music. His dedication to his instrument really compliments his natural ability and it is no surprise why he has achieved such great success with his musical career so far.
Jean is a very diverse drummer and I have seen him perform at extremely high levels with Rock/Pop Bands, Jazz & Blues Bands, Musical Theatre Productions, Solo Artist Performances as well as at Drum Clinics. Another aspect that makes Jean such a popular guy in the industry and on a personal level is his attitude and his hysterical sense of humour. He is one exciting musician to be around!”

“Unlike many talented drummers in S.A., who tend to stick to one genre of music, Jean is a multi-talented drummer who can nail most styles of music. His ability to play for the music and band has made him one of the sought after drummers in S.A., unfortunately we have lost yet another drummer, and we know wherever he goes on his travels, he will be an asset to whomever he comes into contact with.”
