Franz Schindlbeck, prof. Rainer Seegers and Prof. Jonathan Aner – Double Beats is the first percussion ensemble in chamber music worldwide.
"DoubleBeats are not only great musicians able to create a perfect performance in terms of playing the right notes in the right dynamic range, they are redefining the meaning of a percussion duo." - says Christoph Müske, Percussion Specialist, Yamaha Music Europe - "We are very happy to welcome them to the Yamaha family!"
