As a drummer / percussionist I have performed with top South African Artists like Nataniel, Coenie de Villers, Nadine and Daniel Po Band to name a few. I have recorded with many artist that have reached gold and even platinum status.
Jacques started playing at the age of 14, influenced by his older guitar playing brother Johan Rautenbach. As many other musicians he started playing in church and very soon he wanted to explore his posibilities. He started to get serious about drumming and at the age of 16 left school to persue his ultimate goal: to becoming a well sort after freelance drummer.
Some time passed...
Jacques has in the past few years of professional playing worked with some of the most well known artists, played in many bands and have done numerious shows, clubs, pubs, open air concerts and theatre

"This journey is a strange one" Not long ago me and a few other drummers watched a guy play. He was kicking everybody's behind, so I made a remark "Hou op drool" My friend replied: "Ek doen wat ek doen...ek doen wat ek doen..." So I say to you "ek doen wat ek doen...)
