About
TROMKLUB is Brussels' collective of percussive heavyweights
— beating their drums and bringing worlds together, on stage and in the streets.
TROMKLUB is a percussion ensemble emerged from the vast cultural diversity that Brussels has to offer. Founded by drummer Jan Heirman, the project started with a clear goal: bring together percussionists from different worlds and let their musical backgrounds collide.
The four members each carry a distinct musical identity. Suchet Malhotra, born in Delhi, brings a classical tabla foundation now channeled through the djembe — precision and depth that bridges Indian rhythmic tradition with West African groove. Leo Batuki carries the spirit of Mozambique in his hands: years of playing, living and learning there shaped him into the musician he is today. Veronica Campos performs with Sysmo and Zinne Kabar, and brings a deep passion for maloya, the ceremonial music of Réunion Island. Armed with her shakers and sati, she brings movement to every stage. Jan Heirman brings a producer's ear to the live setting, with a strong affinity for electronic rhythmic music and the urban energy of footwork and contemporary club culture.
The result is a sound that travels without a passport: from Jlin to Danyel Waro, from the streets of Brussels to the Indian Ocean. TROMKLUB performs on festival stages and in urban spaces alike, turning any environment into a rhythmic ceremony.
Nobody leaves unmoved.
