Really? No Marco Minnemann thread? Not only a beast on the drums, but he seems like such a happy-go-lucky guy in life. His drumming speaks volumes for me, and as they say in German, he was a "wunderkind" when he was younger. He's achieved quite a bit in his lifetime so far, and has the hugest respect from some pretty prodigious and talented players.

Outstanding! I'm always amazed when I see a drummer pretty much do with their feet what many can't do with their hands.

I really dig Marco's talent and style of playing. Recently discovered him on you tube and now studying some of his technique.
