Sam Schwalm has been a staple of the swiss session drummer's scene for several years now, steadily building a reputation as one of the most reliable, versatile and grooving drummers that Switzerland has to offer. Having studied music in both New York and Za¼rich, he is known for getting his butt behind every drumkit he possibly can. This has led to countless shows and studio sessions all over Europe and even the USA, playing with artists such as Bligg, Alvaro Soler, Nickless, Florian Ast, All Saints, Naomi Lareine, Patric Scott and many more.

His creative outlet comes in the form of Hot Like Sushi, his very own Hip Hop/Funk band, that is highly regarded among swiss music connaisseurs. His ever present smile, his incredible work ethic aswell as his undeniable feeling and commitment for music and the groove will keep him busy for years to come.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I have always been incredibly inspired by the music of Erykah Badu, Robert Glasper (Black Radio), Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Jay Z and many other Hip Hop/RnB artists. And of course, a great pop song always gets me going aswell.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    One of the best lessons I ever learned was to always listen to and discover new music. Your ears are your best teacher and there's always something new waiting to be uncovered and put into your own repertoire.
