Megadrums is an experience that moves the entire person, an adventure, that leads away from daily life preparing a celebration: its music, that intensifies live it is a possibility to be part on a ceremony in the todays world. (Salzburger Nachrichten)

African, latin, asian and european elements melt together in Flatischler´s compositions and rhythm goes beyond its accompaning role and becomes the central musical structure power; an important message for jazz.. (Jazzpodium 87)

"The Megadrums musicians are united in their single-minded affirmation of rhythm. That doesn't signify loudness, simplicity, or limitation - but rather an unbelievable variety of tonal colors with an almost inexhaustible wealth of nuances and subtleties. Rhythm signifies a language that comes from within, directly and physically understood by every listener without any previous knowledge." (Luzerner Tagblatt)
