Nikos Tsintzilonis

Teaching drums is not about notes — it’s about creating rhythm.

From the age of six, I had the opportunity to explore the world of music through bass and guitar. I attended my first lessons at the Koukoutaras Music School and the Municipal Conservatory of Larissa. However, my love for rhythm quickly led me to the drums—an instrument that remains my passion and means of expression to this day.
Experience:
Founding member and composer of Black Fate, one of the historic bands not only of Larissa but of the Greek heavy metal scene in general, with a presence that began in 1990 and continues to this day.
Participation in session work with bands such as BLACK FATE (progressive metal), Netrino (indie pop), Plin Enos (Greek rock), Modesto (post-rock), Thirty Fates (heavy metal), Secret Theory (grunge), DEATH LEAGUE (melodic death metal), among others.
Session collaborations with artists and musicians across various genres, covering a wide range from pop, rock, grunge, punk, and heavy metal to rhythm & blues, as well as art music, new wave, traditional, and folk.
Active member of orchestras accompanying well-known artists throughout Greece.
Attendance at drum technique seminars by internationally recognized artists.
Extensive experience performing in nightlife venues.
Today: A musical journey spanning 30 years, continuing through live performances, as well as recordings and music production.
