Marco Minnemann solo with Necrophagist

[amazingfantasy66]

Did this guy play for paul gilbert?

[pedimatt60]

Damn! Marcos got like a trillion rhythms floating around in his head to access. One of my favorite drummers.

[85Aheadstix]

OVERRATED!, atleast ten other drummer can do twice that!, Peart is the master, this guy is just a copycat!.

[morganix007]

@85Aheadstix If Peart is the master, the student surpass him...

[85Aheadstix]

@morganix007 Hahahahaha!, thats a good one, Minneman surpass Peart?, yeah whatever mate, maybe in your mind, nobody is gonna surpass peart.

Peart is the grand master, the student is never as good as the master.

Your clearly have no i dea about drums or drumming.

[morganix007]

@85Aheadstix Stupid, do U really see Peart playing a Necrophagist song??? U just can't see. Peart did what he could which has BEEN great but... he is just history, a legend. His time has passed.I'm pretty sure that if he would have gone to the Dream Theatre auditions, he would have been left on the same place with Aquiles Priester and Derek Roddy.

[85Aheadstix]

@morganix007 Hahahaha!, man you obviously dont know shit about drumming!, Peart on the same level as priester and Roddy?, wow thats the funniest thing ive ever heard!, Peart invented what portnoy played, hell, Rush invented prog rock pretty much.

There aint nothing they could play that he cannot.

And there are better drummers than Marcos.

[morganix007]

@morganix007 Dude you must be an old Peart fan! I like yes you have to give Peart credit, but man he isn't the greatest drummer if you could be honest. Music today is much different than what he used or continue to play man. And yeah I'm a drummer and I've seen what these drummers has been doing. To be honest, peart doesn't impress me at all...mate but this guy Marco Minneman...awesome although that drum solo is kind of a bit boring.

[redefn199]

@85Aheadstix

"the student is never as good as the master"

So each new generation of drummers is worse than the generation before them, and the first ever drummer is the best of all time?

Do you really think that?

[LHondrums]

penisphagist

[09052010boo]

paul gilberts brother?

[daviddaimary7734]

@09052010boo not brother but interesting that they look similar and he played for gilbert...

[PimpMasterT]

happiest drummer in the world

[jp60476]

Marco is such a musical monster! The guy at the very bottom of the screen, right at the end of the video is HILARIOUS!

[toastedhippo]

AS Jordan Rudess says: "Pure musical joy"

[xnukexsxe10]

the dislike its from joy jordinson...

[metalwizard32]

This drum set is not perfect for his solos, but he's rocking the hell out.

[TheCrusify]

his cross are not good enough. but hands are gifted.

[valthern]

Ahora veo por qué no se decidían entre este cuate y Mike Mangini a la hora de decidirse para reemplazar a Pornoy en Dream Theater. Sorprendentemente Brutalll...

[drummerchris22]

death by drum solo!

[slmc777]

That dislike comes from a frustrated drummer who can't play even 60 bpm..........

[visious123]

@slmc777 it must be from mangina..

[thetryingmusician]

I met and talked with this guy at an Aristocrats clinic/show in Vermont at Higher Ground!

[BigRooster747]

wow, half bar changes, very ingenious......

[drums4metal]

i think if i attempt this ill be seriously injured...

[superrobotmunkyman]

HE LOOKS LIKE TOM GREEN

[Techdeath96]

I met marco yesterday at a drum clinic. An I saw his new band the aristocrats, he kicks ass and he's super nice.

[viasevenvai]

I trust this guy more than I trust my metronome.

[phizzo11]

that shit is impossible. this guy is not from this planet.

[GiviPieFace]

I shat bricks. Marco is definitely in my top drummers list

[Naaga88]

Just look at him smile!

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

First DW signs this guy..Then they sign Cobus...What a down grade..cmon DW..talents or cocky pretyboy celebs??

[fireice113]

Doesn't he remind you of Keith Moon???

[MrBlarghmaster]

the best part of this is the mini hi hat solo @ 3:12 the second best part is that he plays promark

[pinkpussy2007]

better then over rated portnoy! Marco is one of the best drummers out there, I am glad he didn't get into dream theater cuz he can do better then that! he is too expresive for that band

[mkknot]

haaaaaaaaaaaaluuuuuucinant !!!

[chrisgr00ver]

lol @ 9:10 this guy is possessed.

[candidcomment]

yeah the DT audtion was funny wasnt it....i mean a player of his fucking incredible caliber didnt get the gig...makes you wonder whether it was set up to spike interest in Dream Theater after protnoy,...I mean Virgill Donati , Thomas Lang and Marco auditioned and didnt get it , i smell a rat! hahaha I think they were payed to do the audition and be part of the DVD that was produced ...

[danielalien]

How can he move two high hats and two kick pedals at the same time???

[sexypoulpe]

@danielalien Marco has actually 4 legs (and 4 arms) but you can't see them cause he's too fast

[vidfreek]

@danielalien if you watch this /watch?v=ANxVWgBELZA you can see he has mad hi-hat to kick pedal transition skillz

[gnsumas]

@danielalien he tilts his feet at a funny angle so the heel is on one pedal and the toe on another.

Look for his solos with the footcam.

[HandofMisery]

They should do this with the guitars!

[MrShtsweak]

Fuck. Yes.

[DraytonAJohn]

I want to kill and eat Marco Minnemann, just so I can attempt to gain his power.

[ImLo0u]

@DraytonAJohn You're a weird person you know that?

[Odinsgade]

@DraytonAJohn

Could you please wait till after 30. april, because i really want to see him play with Steven Wilson. :) After that you can do what you want with him. :D

[85Aheadstix]

@DraytonAJohn Pft!, all you will get is a bad cae of overratedness, eat some Kollias, true power lies in his legs.

[Nightcrawler874]

He's even better than Chuck Norris! 

[emptytrashcan]

does he imitate mangini's solo style or am i too mean about him? double basses with crashes and the ending tune!

[CelestialTina]

@emptytrashcan Yeah the thought occurred to me too :P

[infirmusisdrums]

i think that this guy is one of the most versatile drummers ou there and thats what makes him so special !!!! thumbs up marco minneman !!! lmL

[Factoriellepi]

Why the hell is there only one green thumbs

[KHfan4ever23]

Hannes Grossman and Romain Goulon are good drummers who played for Necrophagist but Marco shits on them 100 times over.

[norranun]

this guy is paul gilbert on drum Lol

:P

[Morain42]

@norranun hah i think he plays in the same band as paul gilbert, racer x

[mattderose]

the guy at the end is great

[deathscythekim729]

Marco and Mangini..i can't decide!!

[PoeticJustice05]

Buddy looks like Napoleon Dynamite, but damn he can drum.

[alexyellow]

1000 steps up to mr portboy!

[adi93das]

Amazing! I like how they did the camera work similar to Ginger Baker's drum solo in Cream's farewell concert video. Good stuff.

[Malikuniversotomb]

I am a huge fan of Dream Theater, but i have to admit Minnemann eats Portnoy on breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!!

[ajmckillop]

I love the groove at the 5:00 mark.

[MAYLO777]

ppl saying things about dream theatre and portnoy. i don't get it, marco is way better than portnoy :/

[blowmyroot]

absolute perfect choice for dream theatre!!!

[YourDailyLaughz]

I feel like his feet aren't fast enough to do what Portnoy does.

[valermos08]

Sick, and I thought the only guy who could replace Mike was Steve Smith. How wrong can I be? lol

[crazygring]

is tom green on the drums!

[iCe1984zz]

Ah, and at 9:14 is THE metal face of 2011! (Although this is older footage :p)

[iCe1984zz]

Unusual tom setup, very interesting. Looks very weird though. But he has a weird style ;)

Typical Marco solo, but very different from the other solo's of him I've seen. I like it!

[guyetcj]

Agreed Slash! This guy would be (will be) great

[betobareto]

use Octoban x MTPOLIS PT1 6 OO ETC

[PanasonicYouth1349]

The Rev > this guy

[doooomination]

@PanasonicYouth1349

Did your parents drop your on your ears when you were little? Saying the Rev is better than Marco is like saying that Kerry King is a better guitarist than John Petrucci.

[MrLosfuegos]

@PanasonicYouth1349 good one bro! haha good one!

[shred440]

@PanasonicYouth1349 Flame War Attempt FAIL lol

[viralbheda]

drops his left stick at 3.05. i honestly believe roman guolon smokes this guy

[Jrim615]

so is he the drummer for necrophagist or was he just doing a solo? i only knew about hannes who left for obscura.

[MikePostDrums]

@Jrim615 Taken from Wiki; ".. Marco toured with death metalists Necrophagist on the Summer Slaughter tour 2007 .."

[matslundq]

I agree, the perfect drummer for DT!!

[olisofsunhillow]

I think him playing with Jordan later this month is a sine he is next in line.... which is a good thing! Oh and can any of us make a PDP sound that good?

[IceShadow333]

Chemistry 101 - Mix the most fantastic pieces of every awesome drummer on the planet together, and you have a vial of nastiness that can only be named Marco Minnemann. I salute you...

[KanuomleStudios]

All I can say is Woooooooooooooooooow!

[slash17rockz]

perfect drummer to fill the shoes of mike portnoy!

[tmayne220]

@slash17rockz 100%. He has creativity AND chops down pat, with a very fitting style for DT to boot: a combination of musical elements that virgil, lang or any other I can think of do not have that would be suitable for the band. the guys from DT would be crazy not to pick him.

[MetalJaska]

@slash17rockz

yes one of the best alternatives i think. but i don't know if he can sing and play like mike... otherwise, why shouldn't he, his coordination is incredible, singing at the same time should be no problem

[artha5]

@slash17rockz ohhh, that would be awesome

[45pantera]

@slash17rockz never :(

[bazzman666]

@slash17rockz I agree totally! I would love to see what he could do to their music! They need this kind of man for a refresher!!

[bazzman666]

@slash17rockz I totally agree! I would love to see what he could do to their music! They need this kind of man for a refresher!!

[hellsing1983]

@slash17rockz funny thing he now is going to fill portnoy's shoe's ;) I discussed it with other fans aswell before something was said about he being the next Dream Theater drummer, he is just the right guy

[MoercelK]

@slash17rockz I think so too! One of the best prog. drummers, i've ever seen.

[rockslavesoft]

@slash17rockz Portnoy's shoes are too small for this guy.

[Nightcrawler874]

@slash17rockz

Absolutely!

[bodomtopps]

@slash17rockz well apparently not lol... they chose mangini... but seriously a crazy drummer



[dallyson]

its the chops of buddy rich with the technicality of dennis chambers or virgil donati, mixed with the metal of george kollias or roddy. he is definitely on of the greatest drummers top three no doubt.

[artha5]

@dallyson you forgot the independence of Terry Bozzio!

[jcopen]

Polyrhythms, swing, lightning speed, hair-splitting timing - what CAN'T he play! And a nine minute drum solo that never gets boring...

[depoistedigo]

He is the man.

[blister1324]

wow

[zeroskater133]

One of the greatest drum solos I've ever seen.

Love the stick thing @ 8:45

[psycroptic66]

yeah i saw it in concert and it blew my mind hes the best drummer in the world in my opinion, and NECROPHAGIST FUCKING OWNS!

[GrooveThumper]

Why am I the first to comment on this!!, This is one of the best drum solos I've seen. Jesus Fucksacks!! Minnemann you are incredible.

[Kudan26]

@GrooveThumper cos the people doesnt understan this and prefer the drumming of lars, joey, or travis and thats sad

[beyondonethousand]

@GrooveThumper

No need to to use Jesus' name with jerk trashtalk like this. Elevate yourself to something better.

[Psycho888999]

@beyondonethousand Go fuck yourself christfag.

[beyondonethousand]

@Psycho888999

I will laugh when you rot in hell. Have a nice day for now.

[Psycho888999]

@beyondonethousand I'm currently laughing at you sucking jesus' tiny jew cock.
