Lava, Ole Edvard Antonsen ,Independent

I was born in 1959 in a place called a…rdal, and started playing drums with local bands. In 1977 we formed the band Lava, that did a lot of studio work later on in Norway. We are still 2 original members of the group. I did a lot of studio work, Tv shows and tours with a lot of Norwegian bands and artists. Lava also toured for several years with the American singer, Randy Crawford. In 1990 I started working with A-ha. In 1991 we did the Rock In Rio festival with 200,000 people in the audience. Im still doing a lot of tours and shows, and still enjoying it.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Watching great musicians playing inspires me. That makes me want to be a better drummer.You can always learn new things from different musicians ,because we all think differently

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Never think you know everything.There`s always a musician that`s better than you.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My 22" K Constantinople Medium Ride is now my favorite cymbal. I now use it in my set up almost in any setting.I´m using mostly A custom and K cymbals
