Sayed Gereige

Sayed Jreige (born on April 21st, 1986) is a Lebanese musician. He is best known as the drummer of Progmetal band Turbulence.

He played the piano from the age of 10 until the age of 16 when he realized that his real passion was for the drums. His early influences were bands like Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Dio, Eloy, Rush, Dream Theater, and Opeth.

Sayed joined Turbulence in 2015 immediately after the release of “Disequilibrium”, and contributed towards their next work as well as the band’s live shows. His obligations away from Lebanon made it impossible for him to record on “Frontal” and “B1nary Dream” after having written and arranged most of the drums with Alain.

He now focuses mainly on Turbulence, while balancing his career in Psychiatry: “I’ve found the Equilibrium between my medical and musical life, and I believe both lives should be Frontal.”
