Thom Herian alias Drama Jacqua comes from a family of musicians. He was born on August 7, 1980 in Teplice, Czech Republic, where he also graduated from musical conservatory, specializing in drums and percussion. He has been beating the drum set since early childhood and is currently involved in several musical projects (Sato-San To, Segundo, Feng Jung Song & Trio PUO, WNP, S.O.I.L., Montage etc.). He currently lives and makes music in Prague.
It may be said that Jacqua''s drumming specialty are grooves of broken fast-paced beats, often described as Jungle or d''n''b. He is inspired by players deeply rooted in today''s rather broad and undefined style of jazz music. Furthermore, Thom Herian is extensively engaged in composition of electronic music and working with sound. He has experimented in this field since the end of the 90''s.
Herian''s solo project in experimental electronic music, Drama Jacqua, is turning out to be the theme of the day.
Yet another range of electronic experiment possibilities opens with the up and coming formation Montage, a balanced duet of samples and the voice of singer. Montage performs as a live band, combined with an electronic backbone.
It would be most unfair not to mention the Segundo band, Drama being one of its founding members, employing the skills of an electronic magician here as well. The band is built on live performance (sax, bass, drums) and computer electronic music played out of a single audio deck. Nowadays, Jacqua focuses mainly on an electro-jazz-pop band called S.O.I.L.
