Kaarel Tamra (keyboards) about X ‐ Panda: "I think that it is unusual that four people can share the same musical interests. It is so cool that sometimes when beginning to describe a particular riff or pattern, they already know what to do without me even saying it. I find that really rare and special. We have a really good chemistry and we are all such good friends. The band is like a summer holiday --‐everybody is anxiously waiting for the rehearsals and concerts. They´re just so much fun, because we can do exactly what we want!"

X - Panda is proudly influenced by: Dream Theater, Planet X, Liquid Tension Experiment, Jordan Rudess, Virgil Donati, Simon Phillips, Joe Satriani, Porcupine Tree, Nightwish.
