I play drums. I write music. I record and I produce.
Daniel Eugster started his musical journey in 2000 with classical guitar, soon switching to electric guitar and eventually drums – when his band Neckless needed a drummer, he jumped in.
Raised in Uzwil, he moved to Winterthur in 2013 to study pop music at ZHdK, including a semester in Berlin where he recorded an EP with his project Yet To Find. After completing his Master’s degree in 2018, he worked as a drum teacher, freelance musician, and producer – and held a part-time job as an electronics technician.
With a friend, he founded Profi Instruments, developing custom gear like the dks3000 hardware sampler and dkp200 effect pedal.
Since 2012, Daniel has been based in Winterthur, shaping the local scene through projects like Klain Karoo, Ginger & the Alchemists, We the Young, Dada Nu, and Yet To Find. He’s currently touring with Nola Kin (Swiss Music Award winner 2024) and has performed with artists such as Dino Brandão, Rykka (CAN), Josh Royse (USA), and many more – with gigs across Switzerland, Europe, the US, and even Russia. Most recently, he created sound design for two escape rooms at Gheimgang 188.
