Exchampion aka Ben Kövener is a drummer, composes music for dance theatre, and programs his machinery, which serves as an accompanying orchestra for his performances. He started his career as a live drummer at Drum ‘n Bass events. Besides guest performances with bands like the Bersarin Quartet, he also works as a drummer for hire in the studio.
