About Eden
Eden served in the Israel Defense Forces orchestra for two years in the army.
Following his service, Eden’s professional career took him across continents, performing a variety of musical genres and meeting remarkable musicians along the way.
The Very Early Years
When Eden’s mother was pregnant with him, his father would take a speaker and hold it against her belly while playing Johannes Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Eden is pretty sure this is where his love for music, specifically classical music, began.
From the first moment, he could wrap his hand around a drumstick. At about age two, there would be no letting go of it.
Education and Training
Eden studied at the School of the Arts Arison Campus in Tel Aviv, with a focus on Jazz, before continuing his rich education in world music and its various instruments, training with renowned musicians at points across the globe. He has also explicitly traveled for professional training in Croatia, India, and Brazil.
Guinness World Records
That Special Something
Absorbing skills and knowledge at each stop along his world travels while adding his unique talent and flavor, Eden has performed in more than 30 countries with more than 100 bands.
So that no one thinks he’s just an average drummer, Eden holds the Guinness World Records for most single-handed drumstick spins in one minute.
The Early Years
At eight, he was already performing publicly. At nine, Eden performed in front of an audience of 32,000 at Israel’s sixteenth Maccabiah Games.
When he was fourteen, he went on tour for the first time. Soon after, he was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to perform worldwide, learning from one of the most talented and renowned musicians in Israel, Yaron Bahar, who also happens to be his father.
Notably, Eden studied conducting with Professor Rafi Kadishzon, orchestral percussion with Tomer Yariv, drums with Kenwood Dennard, Clayton Cameron, Chris Coleman, John Riley, Steve Gadd, Horacio Hernandez, David Z. Rich, Itamar Doari, tabla with Pt. Samir Chatterjee, djembe and dundun with Frederick ‘MILO’ Darboh and Sabula Bangura, cajon with Hagai Leshem, pandeiro with Joca Perpignan, timpani with Dan Moshayev, congas and bongos with Gadi Seri, and taiko with Nitay Zelniker.
