From DW DVD's release of "The Marco Show". Here master technician on the drums Marco Minnemann shows us his chops in a solo. Director | Producer | Geoffrey S. McNeil Production Company | GSM Entertainment www.gsmentertainment.com
It's the sound that matters, not the model. For example, Mangini usually uses ZBT hi-hats (not sure if they're the main ones or the secondary) on his Dream Theater kit.
I mean this in most complimentary of ways but Marco reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Just like the character of Sheldon portrayed so well by Jim Parsons, Marco is brilliant.
Physic as limits... It seems that Marco can go further those limits! I didn't think it was possible witness something like this! There is no mathematical explanation to his capacity.
One thing is being in the Top Ten Drummers, and Marco deserves to be there, but another thing is my opinion. I prefer Portnoy above every other drummer I know because it's my opinion. This guy his extremely technical, accurate and I like him a lot. I just prefer Portnoy.
