Understanding Kaspar Rast - a little introduction

Kaspar Rast is a drummer from Zurich, Schwitzerland. Since he and his friend Nik Bärtsch were 9 and 10 years old, they have been playing grooves together. Nik Bärtsch might be the one known around the world for his polymetric music. But Kaspar Rast needs a little attention.

Kasper Rast made an album in 2003 on the swiss label Tonus-Music-Records: Kaspar Rast Part 52
Here you find both the complexity and the easyness, with which Kaspar Rast play the drums. The groove is ever challenging. But relaxed. The patterns are very abrupt. But Kaspar Rast plays it with great confidence. The mathematics inside the patterns are exact and precise. The outcome is very groovy.

Find Kaspar on Tidal, Itunes or Spotify
