"For all drum enthusiasts, "Punctum" is a special treat in the form of a drum solo. Even though a solo might look more spectacular live or with the visual aspect, it is still something special if you are forced to listen and follow the composition of the solo with your ears only." - Adam Zehentner, Backbeat Magazine


"Austrian young drummer/composer Max Plattner has a knack for song structures that involve enjoyable melodies, improvisation and groove" - NYC JazzTrail
