Seven Days - The Band
MAREK DORCIK - Drums
I started playing drums at the age of 13 after discovering the magic of this instrument. At the age of 14 I joined a school of music in Slovakia. I learned to play many different styles while studying jazz and classical music.
I got my degree and diploma in music at the age of 20, and started to sail all around the world on German and English cruise ships as a member of jazz, dance and show bands.
I moved to the UK in March 2006, and joined Seven Days at the beginning of December.
My main influences have always been drummers, and I have especially been interested in listening to drummers who I feel bring that something a little different into music. Some of these are Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and Jeff "Tain" Watts.
Music as a whole plays a very important part in my life. Although trained in jazz and classical, I'm just interested in playing any kind of music as long as it's played well.
