Drum Cam: Tomasz Losowski - 'Funk Magic'

Tomek Łosowski is a recent Gretsch endorsee who has been one of the busiest drummers in Poland over the last 30 years, with close to a hundred albums under his belt, both as a session player, as well as with his own bands and projects. The latter include: Orange Trane, ΠR2, Quartado, Lemańczyk – Łosowski – Łukowski Jazz Trio, Tomasz Łosowski Acoustic Trio. Tomek is also a member of Kombi Łosowski – a band led by his father and keyboardist, Sławomir Łosowski, which was one of the most popular Polish acts of the 1980s. He has also released two solo albums: “C.V.” (2004) and “Fusionland” (2016).
