Genres and style

Joakim's playing sits comfortably across metal, rock, and progressive metal, with a growing and well-developed command of synthwave. His approach blends technical discipline with feel — whether a song demands crushing heaviness, intricate prog-time signatures, or the pulsing, retro-futuristic drive of modern synthwave. That stylistic range makes him a genuinely flexible hire for producers, bands, and artists working across a broad spectrum.

Based in Skogås, Stockholm, Sweden

Joakim is based in Skogås, a southern suburb of Stockholm, putting him within easy reach of the wider Stockholm metropolitan area as well as cities such as Uppsala, Västerås, Örebro, and Södertälje. He is equally accessible to acts working across Sweden and Scandinavia more broadly.

For clients further afield, Joakim is open to international travel for live work and tours. He also offers fully remote recording sessions from his home studio, so geography is no barrier if you simply need great drums on your track.

About Joakim

Joakim started playing music at the age of nine, first diving into rock and pop before quickly gravitating toward heavier sounds. Over the years, his style expanded into heavy metal and progressive metal — genres that reward both technical investment and raw energy, both of which Joakim has in abundance.

In more recent years, he has turned his focus toward synthwave, drawn to its cinematic textures, nostalgic edge, and driving rhythms. Today he performs with two synthwave acts, Midnight Danger and Star Cassette, bringing a powerful mix of retro-futuristic sound and modern intensity to the stage. His work with Art Nation further underlines his credentials as a drummer with serious live and recording experience across multiple acts.
