| 2007-04-16 | Necrophagist Drummer Schedules Drum Clinics | Last week German death metal band Necrophagist announced the addition of world renowned drummer Marco Minnemann to their line-up. Minnemann will begin playing drums for Necrophagist on the band’s upcoming headlining North American tour, the ‘Summer Slaughter Tour’ featuring Necrophagist label-mates Cephalic Carnage as well as Decapitated, Ion Dissonance, Cattle Decapitation, Arsis and more.
The ‘Summer Slaughter Tour’ will begin June 1st and is sponsored by Revolver Magazine, Ibanez Guitars, Tama Drums, Fixion Media and Jaxprints. Prior to the start of the ‘Summer Slaughter Tour’, Minnemann will be performing select Necrophagist songs at his upcoming drum clinics. A listing of clinic dates can be found below and a listing of Necrophagist tour dates can be found in the tour section on Relapse.com.
Marco's reputation as a talented drummer is worldwide. After establishing a reputation in his home country, Germany, in the late 90’s he began instructing solo workshops. Highlights included the Frankfurt Music Fair, PASIC in Dallas, and a solo performance at the "Modern Drummer Festival" in Toronto, where Marco had the honor of being the first German drummer to display his talents there. This performance, in the eyes of professionals and music trade magazines, catapulted him into the Top Ten of the drumming world. Following Drumfest included the Australian TUDW fest and the Montreal Drumfest in Canada.
Marco’s influences are quite diverse, and up to this point most of his work has included collaborations with many of Jazz and Funk’s leading musicians. Marco also co-produced and played instruments on Paddy Kellys (Kelly Family) solo CD which entered the charts in 2004 and played on the double platinum CD Nena feat Nena. Marco also performed and recorded with artists such as: Paul Gilbert, Nena, Udo Lindenberg, H-Blockx, Mike Keneally, FFW, Gianna Nannini, Garry Willis, The Kelly Family and many more.
