“A lot of my technique comes from Claus … I studied with Claus for 8 or 9 years, starting around the age of 19. Claus is an awesome teacher! He has more knowledge about music and drumming than anybody I’ve ever met." Anika Nilles Anika Nilles Drummer with NEVELL; Teacher, Author & Educator

“Claus just floored me when I saw him perform at the Musik Messe … his musicality, chops and unique instrumentation on the drum kit. Wow what a talent!" Mark Schulman Mark Schulman Drummer with P!NK, Billy Idol, Simple Minds | Speaker | Author

“I travel the globe performing, teaching. It is rare when I meet someone who has all the qualities of being a wonderful person and performer. Claus has both! He understands the bigger picture of drumming and music. He learned all the techniques the best I have seen and when I return each year to Germany I learn again when we perform together!" Dom Famularo Dom Famularo Global Ambassador of Drumming

“„ …After my lesson, as an experiment I immediately began using the Chapin-style grip Claus showed me. I was stunned at the level of comfort I felt! I’ve never used a grip like this before…the closest to it was when I studied with Chuck Brown in 1972 in Oakland. I’m a fan…!!! Thanks you again for the kindness and hospitality.“" David Garibaldi David Garibaldi Drummer with TOWER OF POWER; Teacher, Author & Educator

“His flawless and fluid motions, the way he applies Moeller technique for ostinatos over various toms and cymbals along with independent patterns of his feet is really unique, very “drumistic” and yet musical… I hardly know anyone who is closer to the “real Moeller” than Claus." Jim Chapin Jim Chapin

“Rarely do you run across a player with such in-depth knowledge of technique matched with the ability to teach it. Claus has helped me in my pursuit of more relaxed and fluid approach to playing. I would highly recommend taking a Skype lesson, it will make a difference!" Daniel Adair Daniel Adair Drummer with NICKELBACK and THREE DOORS DOWN
