Marco Minnemann (born 24 December 1970) is a German multi-instrumentalist and composer who primarily plays drums.
Minnemann has released over a dozen solo albums as drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist, and performed on over 100 studio albums with dozens of artists and groups. [1] [2] He has previously been a member of the German funk-metal crossover band Freaky Fukin Weirdoz and has performed and recorded with German rock band H-Blockx and Grammy-nominated English musician Steven Wilson.[ citation needed ] He is the drummer for the Mute Gods, a trio led by Nick Beggs of British new wave band Kajagoogoo, and he has performed with Joe Satriani since 2013.[ citation needed ] Minnemann appeared on the cover of the June 2007 issue of Modern Drummer , with the magazine writing that "he has been instrumental in developing the advanced concept of complex interdependence", [3] a drum technique allowing him to play varying patterns with each of his feet and hands.
In 2006, Minnemann recorded a 51-minute live drum solo that served as the basis for his Normalizer 2 project, in which he shared the track with several musicians and asked that they each write and record their own work accompanying the composition. A number of the resulting recordings were released as duo albums, including Trey Gunn's Modulator, [4] [5] Alex Machacek's 24 Tales , [6] and Mike Keneally's Evidence of Humanity. [7]
In late 2017, Minnemann joined international prog-rock rock supergroup the Sea Within and appears on their 2018 debut. [8] Formed by Swedish guitarist and singer-songwriter Roine Stolt, the band also features bassist Jonas Reingold, guitarist Daniel Gildenlöw, and keyboardist Tom Brislin.
Minnemann is a member of instrumental rock power trio the Aristocrats, playing alongside Guthrie Govan and Bryan Beller. [9] In 2019, the group released their fourth studio album, You know what...? [10]
In 2020, Minnemann and collaborator Randy McStine formed McStine & Minnemann. The duo released two albums that year: the self-titled McStine & Minnemann and McStine & Minnemann II.
Minnemann was featured as a voice actor in the second season of the Titmouse-animated series Metalocalypse . The episode, which also featured Mike Patton of Faith No More, aired on Adult Swim in 2008.[ citation needed ]
