It's me Marek Podstawek, Polish drummer, percussionist, musician and composer.  I’ve been living in Australia for the past 20 years and appear regularly around the jazz/blues/country/latin/funk/fusion/techno/smooth jazz/pop& rock traps in Melbourne as well as at various regional festivals.

You can find samples of my performances, including original compositions on four Internet

sites: You Tube (drumuniv) for Videos; Motionbeatz (Arachnids); Musicians Page (drumuniv) & The Jazz Network (drumuniv) for audios. Video files, on these sites demonstrate a wide range of performance styles – solos, duos as well as performances with bands. On Motionbeatz, Musicianspage & Thejazznetwork you can hear my original instrumental compositions recorded with many local musicians living in Melbourne, Victoria and some of overseas artists.
