Rens 'El Lorenzo' Hardijzer Drums.

Lorenzo was born Rens Hardijzer in Nijmegen, Holland on August 30, 1969. Lorenzo has been drumming practically all his life. He started at the age of 5 and at age 12 he was playing in his first band. Rens has gone from playing bluesrock to rock to metal to becoming the drummer for Mike & the Mellotones in 1997 where he played blues Texas style. Now that the band is a four-piece and is called the Mellotones Lorenzo has returned to his rock roots. Lorenzo is without a doubt one of the hardest-hitting men in showbizz!


Influences: Simon Kirke, Phil Rudd, John Coghlan, John Bonham. Any drummer that lays down a solid, no-frills groove that blends in with the band.
