«The seminar «Drum Power and Body Language» given by Fabrizio Perini was an excellent show. I can heartily recommend his performance! His expertise, his humour and his quiet manner are all part of his brilliant presentation. There was an excellent mix of practical drumming, theoretical drum skills and awareness of body and spirit. This helped build awareness of body language, its effect and how to optimize it. Thank you and until the next time!»

«I’m always glad to have the opportunity to see and listen to you playing. I was very curious to come and listen to the inauguration of your Hirado-Taiko, to listen to the sond of your new instrument and what you would show us: it was really exciting!
Your performances are always a pleasure. Thank you! Your ease and dedication with which you play, your humility and your presentation are all simply wonderful. You are a master of sound, rhythm and the possibilities of your instruments. The audience is quickly mesmerized and time stands still… »

«The art of drumming as performed by Fabrizio Perini of Switzerland. His physically demanding show began on the Korean Buk combining dance and drumming with a stunning choreography. Next we were treated to the huge O-Daiko, whose massive sounds he coaxed to the point of exhaustion.»

«The showmanship from Fabrizio was entertaining and his skill on all of the drums is no less than brilliant. Seeing him perform live meant that we could not only see his work, but feel it as well. It hits you in the chest and goes deep into your body. After having experienced this personally, it became easy to see why those drums which were originally used in warfare. You can feel the freer. I was truly impressed by Fabrizio’s dedication, passion and enthusiasm for his art as well as with his athletic abilities. It took quite some coordination and endurance to play the Buk – his demonstration was quite literally breath-taking! Finally his showmanship was also excellent. The whole evening was a great success and I can heartily recommend going to see him.»

Every cell vibrated which was really regenerating. A heart felt thank you for coming to us!

«It thundered in the Catholic church in Ins on Maunday Thursday. During the Night of Sound, Fabrizio enchanted us with reverberations from the wrath of the Olympic gods to sweet chimes. Captivating rhythms from Asia made diaphragm and solar plexus vibrate in strange and exciting ways. I’ve not often been so deeply moved by aperformance. Thank you for your passion in Ins!»

«Our “Night of Sound” was opened with a particular highlight. Fabrizio Perini moved, touched, inspired and enthralled many people with his imposing, virtuosic, and manifold Drum Art and sounds of Hang. His enthusiasm for every single instrument, his dedication, strength, abundance of rhythm and precision left me speechless. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Thank you, thank you thank you!»

An Intensive performance: Passion in Ins
«You’ve trumped yourself again. The concert was absolutely brilliant. As I was driving to the performance, I was expecting to have a nice, entertaining evening, but I wasn’t counting on the intensity of your exhibition and nice and entertaining was surpassed hundredfold. Each piece was simply smashing and enthralled the audience. The final act was, as was expected, the best. The vibration began with the first beat and continued throughout the entire piece. It was ingenious. My mother loved the Hang drums above all and I’ve never seen her applaud something so much. My father was also very impressed with your performance and commented that you must have a huge amount of strength to be able to play the drums so long and so well. Huge compliments to you for your concert.»
Rosa Schmid
«A dense, personal hour complimented by Fabrizio’s comments and explanations. Resonance and spirit with word and art; a worthy transition over to Good Friday.»
Sylvia Käser Hofer
«Your virtuosity and your movements playing the Hang are elegant, sensitive and graceful. This concentration, this beauty, this ease of movement while playing the drums: That is you!
Your noble playing moulded with harmony despite the atmosphere of suspense you create on the O-Taiko is your masterpiece. Your strength in playing is sensational. Your strong will leads you to perfection.»

«Fabrizio Perini, Asian Drum percussionist from Bern symbolically opened the convention with a beat of the drum. His artistic renditions and thundering rhythm on the Japanese Taiko sharpened the senses for the coming days. He musically accompanied the convention with his many different instruments like the African Telvi and Bernese Hang.»

«First class physical performance! The endurance, the explosiveness and the escalation of maximal strength are almost superhuman. A great deal of mental strength is necessary to achieve such a feat. Such a combination is so rare that it astounds me time after time to see your performances. You are an indescribable virtuoso on the drums. It’s like a graceful but energy-laden dance, sensitive and dignified in its rendition.»

«When I play the Taiko, I am in another world which allows me to forget my cares and worries. Your workshop allowed me to delve deeper into this wonderful world. Through your calm demeanour and manner you were able to teach me to create new rhythms and beats that would otherwise have eluded me. The lessons were always adapted to my skills and ability to learn and I always felt comfortable. Despite this, it was an electric experience in which your energy was reflected in my playing. The workshop reached its technical and emotional high point as the elements were combined into one piece. I already can’t wait for your next workshop!»
Pit Beck
«Fabrizio Perini is a multitalented rockstar! E learned to play the Buk and Taiko in South Korea and Japan. An impressive electricity and mood were palpable in the room as he played for us. The audience really listened to him and everyone was impressed.»
Beat Muster
«The audience was impressed by the performance which was accompanied by much suspense. The amount of applause left no doubt as to the success of the show. Your solo performance seemed to me on the one hand introspective: centred, balanced, chastely powerful, sophisticated; nothing was too much or too little, affected or shrill, no cheap showmanship, nothing missing, everything there; in every way respectful, especially towards the drums and the music. On the other hand, your performance was extroverted: projective, harmonic, dancing, concise movements, eye contact with the audience. The deep vibrations from the huge drum had a direct effect on one’s own body.»
Franz Michel
«You exceeded my expectations with your workshop, for which I whole-heartedly thank you. I really appreciated how you lead us as a group. You ensured that we kept up the necessary concentration and seriousness as we worked on our piece, supported us when necessary and left us enough room to make our own mistakes. You were responsive to the different needs of the individual members of the group and were good at knowing how and when to react. I personally profited in many different ways. I thought we would be just learning a new piece and would receive a few handy tips from a professional percussionist. We did do that, but also much more. Your lessons on the philosophy of drumming was impressive; we must give the audience energy and presence and ensure that our bodies light up light a light bulb when we perform. Personally I feel as though there are only a couple of fireflies in me, but I am working on it. Now I have a new purpose for practicing, lighting up as much as possible when playing the drum. I’ve seen what that could look like by watching you. Your charisma is impressive.»
Pit Beck
«Especially noticeable is the energy you dish out and give to others during your workshops. I have never met anyone who was able to give so much without showing that his battery was running low. You also have a remarkably calm manner, which you couple with your ability to play and your magnitude as a person. Afterwards all of my senses were strengthened and rested. The necessary motivation to work on oneself returned. The effect was so intensive and personal that the necessary words to describe it fail me. Your participation made it clear where one is, where one would like to be and how one can get there. Put succinctly, it was a success.»
Carola Aupperle
«I am thoroughly impressed with Fabrizio Perini’s brilliant show. He knows how to reel his audience in. His ease and aplomb in uneasy situations was impressive. I was also colossally impressed with his solo performance. His is a master and is stunning to watch and listen to.»
