GERWIN SPALINK, born in 1971 in Munich / Germany is a German drummer and musician who has gained worldwide attention performing alongside some of rock - pop and classic music's most notable artists.

At the age of 4 Gerwin would set up pots and pans or anything he could find to resemble a drum kit. He would beat the shit out of them for hours, months and years. He then studied drums and percussion in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

GERWIN SPALINK is also one of the very few "Moeller Specialists" and gives Snaredrum Workshops all over the world. The Moeller method, or moeller technique, is named for drummer Sanford A. Moeller, as described in his book The Art of Snare Drumming. It is believed that he described the method after observing drummers who had fought in Civil War in the 19th century. He later taught the system to Jim Chapin in 1938 and 1939. Chapin worked to popularize this method until his death in 2009. The method combines a variety of techniques with the goal of improving hand speed, power, and control while offering the flexibility to add accented notes at will. The method has been perceived in the drumming community as a secret method. It is considered difficult to learn and no consensus has been reached as to what this technique actually consists of.
