In early 2007, Stockholm-based progressive rock musician and composer Per Ulfhielm exclaimed: "Darn it, why can't I find any high quality odd meter grooves for my drum sampler?". As his laptop didn't provide a satisfying answer, he took matters into his own hands and teamed up with drummer Magnus Brandell to produce the grooves themselves. As a result, OddGrooves was founded.
Magnus Brandell

At Berklee, he studied polyrhythms with professors Mike Mangini and Skip Hadden. He now teaches drums and percussion when not doing sessions.
As you probably guessed, Magnus gets to do all the fun stuff while handling the drumsticks at OddGrooves.
