lives in Mainz / Germany   In the part of Ringo Starr he sings the songs and he´s bashing away at the Ludwig drums (and all he´s got to do is 'Act Naturally'!) exactly in Ringo´s style: less is more and feeling is everything! His favorite Beatles songs are Rain, Taxman, The End-medley and Help! His mother got fed up with using all the crumpled cooking pots in the kitchen. So finally Erik was presented with his first drum kit at which he started his bang-bashing with gaining success.

He gained experience in fusion-bands, percussion ensembles and musicals before he came into contact with the Beatles through various 60´s bands. However, it was only two years ago when he joined the Beatles Four Ever Show that he realized his dream of being part of a band that truly did honour to the Beatles.

Apart from his professional role as Ringo in the Beatles Four Ever Show he also appeares in a Toto cover band and stands in as a 'Emergency Drummer' wherever and whenever a studio session drummer is needed. As a drum teacher he has the opportunity to hand over his knowlegde and experience to the younger drumming generation.   Likes... Pizza, Coke and potatoecrisps (hey you Americans, that´s chips for you!) for breakfast, american beer, watching TV (esp. Star Trek), cinema, Woody Allen and of course: 'Love, Love, Love'...   Dislikes... And for he really loves his stage performance and admires TV he absolutely hates power failures on stage, defective electrical appiances and faulty cable TV in hotel rooms which are his second home during long lasting tours.   If You´d like to E-Mail him, please click here: ringo@beatles4ever.com
