Sean Reinert – He's just my biggest influence [...] He's got the perfect balance between musicality, technique and personality. Cynic's Focus CD is one of my all time favourite CDs of all kind.

[...] The three most important death metal albums to me are Atheist Piece of time,' Death Human,' and, a bit later, Cynic Focus. These three records changed me, fundamentally. [...] I guess the biggest impact on me ever was when I saw 'Lack of Comprehension' with Death on MTV's Headbangers Ball some weeks before the album was released. When the part came where you can see Sean Reinert – to me the best contemporary metal drummer ever – from above playing the ride cymbal, hi hat bell, and double bass drums at the same time, I was so blown away by that sound that I watched it probably a hundred times that day, because I had recorded it on VHS. Since that day, I've been using that ride/bell sound a lot, ha ha! [...]
