This is a very pleasant surprise. I know him from Status Minor who just released their second album. His playing on their records is really good + This guy has a background of playing Progressive Metal and that is a HUGE plus for the future of Stratovarius.
I would also like to advise people to buy the Status Minor albums Dialog and Ouroboros to get familiar with this guys drumming. The best songs don't seem to be available online in youtube or their own player so just buy the albums. They are damn good.
From the Biography on his page:
