Hannes Van Dahl (bornKarl-Hannes Dahl, 18 January 1990) is a Swedish musician, best known as the drummer of thepower metal bandSabaton.
Dahl changed his name to "Hannes Van Dahl" as an adult.[1] His interest in rock and metal music came from the skateboarding scene and a big inspiration was his cousin who played in a local band and his mother playing records to him from young age.[2] At the age of 10 he started playing the bass guitar, but quickly lost interest and moved on to the drums. His first band was called "The Motherfuckers".
Later, Van Dahl started the band Downthrust and ended this engagement to joinEvergrey in 2009 while replacing Jonas Ekdahl. Van Dahl's drumming teacherSnowy Shaw, after seeing the potential in him, recommended Van Dahl for Evergrey. During Shaw's engagement asSabaton drummer, Van Dahl joined him as a drum tech for four shows.[3]
After a rehearsal inThe Abyss, he joined Sabaton as an official band member during the Swedish Empire Tour in 2013. In 2014, Sabaton released the albumHeroes, which was the first Sabaton album Van Dahl recorded with the band.
Van Dahl is married toNightwish lead vocalistFloor Jansen. They have two daughters, born in 2017 and 2023, respectively. Together with former Sabaton memberTommy Johansson, and current members Thobbe Englund andChris Rörland, he was in the band The Last Heroes.
