Simon Scheibel

Hi!

This is me:

Born in 1983 in the south-western part of Germany, Simon Scheibel started playing drums at the early age of five. During his time in school he not only took lessons from his teacher Colin Jamison but also started playing in local bands, already as a teenager covering different stylistics as diverse as Jazz, Swing and Heavy Metal. He then became increasingly interested in jazz music and took lessons from Christian Scheuber and Dirik Schilgen.

In 2005 Simon moved to the Netherlands, where he studied Drums at the Conservatory of Arnhem, studying with René Creemers and Joop van Erven, and earning his degree in 2009. During that time he also attended various national and international Workshops (e.g. International Jazzworkshop Trier, Germany in 2007 and 2008; X-Treme Drum Camp, Athens, Greece in 2007).

With his Progressive-Indie Band „Lake Cisco“ Simon reached the 2010 finals of the national Newcomercontest „Local Heroes“ and got awarded as „best instrumentalist“ of all participants.

Today, Simon has relocated to Cologne, Germany, teaching drums at various music schools and playing in the following bands: Lake Cisco( http://www.lakecisco.com), "Natalie Kies" (http://flavors.me/nataliekies) and ZZ11 (www.myspace.com/zz11orchestra) 

Simon is proud to endorse Zildjian Cymbals and Pearl Drums since 2009.
