Saluda Cymbals Artist | George Pavlantis

George was born in 13 of February 1980. He started playing drums, rehearsing with his brother's band, REFLECTION, back in 1992 at the age of 12.

But due to the lack of experience and the young of his age he was to follow a separate path from his brother Stathis in the years to come.

In 1993 he joined a hard-rock band named "Ivory Black" and he had his first precious experiences recording and performing live. Two years later, shortly after he left Ivory Black, he met Panos Makris, Guitarist of the black metallers "Chained And Desperate" and agreed to join the band. Two years later he recorded his first album "Eleven Angles In A Circle" (Hieroglyph Records).

In 1998 George was asked by symphonic metallers "Swan Christy" to participate in their 2nd album "Today Died yesterday" and after a while he became a member of the band. At the end of the year he recorded "Panionios F.C.'s" brand new hymn, to celebrate the team's joining the European's Cup.

In 2000 Swan Christy participated to the official tribute CD to the mighty "QUEENSRYCHE" (USA) "WARNING: minds of raging empires..."(Adrenaline Records-Siegen Records). A year later George recorded Swan Christy's 3rd album "Black is the white color" and they made a video clip and two cd singles too. After the success of their previous album in Europe and particularly in Japan, their record label "Black Lotus" released a Japanese version of "Black Is The White Color". With "SWAN CHRISTY" he made two covers for the biggest Greek heavy metal magazines: "METAL INVADER" and "SEVENTH SIGN".

At 2000 REFLECTION'S drummer left the band and George found the opportunity to "rejoin" with his brother and record the REFLECTION'S SPLIT-CD with Inner-Wish "Realms Of The Night" (NMC Music) and few months later the album "The fire still burns..."(Secret Port records), which was released also as a picture LP for collectors only. In 2003 he recorded "ODYSSEY" which was released under the same label (Secret Port records) again.

From 2004 until this moment he is performing and recording with several bands of different genres of music, including traditional Greek percussion instruments.

In 2007 he recorded the 4th full length album of REFLECTION called "when shadows fall" under the Italian well respected label "Cruz Del Sur Music"

which is going to be released on the end of May 2008...
