Solid yet loose, Marco is one of a kind. The complexity and Technical aspect is dancing with the feel of the grove in all his playing. Amazing drummer, amazing human.

I love how infectiously passionate Marco has always been

There are so many outstanding drummers and we’re lucky to have this platform to watch them. Particularly this drummer though, his grooves just speak to me. Danny C and Marco M. My personal favorites. So good I don’t even attempt to emulate.

Those have got to be some of the cleanest single strokes on a bass drum I've ever seen or heard. Wow.

The GOAT! Seeing him live is mind melting.

I friggin love Marco, such an incredible drummer and amazing teacher, the joy he has when playing is inspiring. Cheers from South Africa

Fantastic as always. Marco seems like a grown up kid to me and I mean that in the very best way. He seems like he even amazes himself in this video and others I have seen him do. As he said in this video he likes risk and he is pushing himself here. Very inspirational. And someone mentioned his work with Plini. The parts he played in the middle of Paper Moon are so tasteful and yet mind boggling. Keep up the great work Marco. Bill.

I just saw Marco play for the first time at the Gramercy Theater this past week with Guthrie Govan and the Aristocrats. Guthrie is an outstanding guitar player, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Marco doing his thing. Fantastic drummer with incredible feel. He is very passionate and seems very humble and genuine. Well done Marco!!

Ohh lets treat the Hi hat like a by mind just melted! Marco Minnemann Is the Bob Ross of drumming! Peace from Detroit MI.

It's crazy how he's playing these things and making it sound musical, instead of an exercise. Even his solos are quite musical, and you can follow the beat, even if you don't understand the structure yet.

He's always either going back to a groove, or an original idea he starts with and even when he starts going crazy, he either goes back to that groove, or starts a new one. That's refreshing, when usually drummers that play a lot of notes, don't really do that.

Super cool in every way. Thanks Sweetwater and thanks Marco. Just watching and listening really has an impact and makes you want to get behind the set and have fun.

the Aristocrats show in montreal was awsome!

[Gooden_Eye]

what stands out to me is the effortless tempo and stylistic changes in the intro- that's what we're all going for IMO

[garrisonaudio]

I often wonder how Dream Theater would have progressed, if Marco got the gig🤔

[rocketsauce]

Well there's always guitar.I will never be able to do that but I do enjoy drums.He truly is a master player.

I saw Marco at GC a many months ago (I live in SoCal)... I couldn't believe my eyes! I also didn't want to bother the man... 🤪

[mickparkinson]

Hopefully gonna see The Aristocrats next June in Manchester UK, can't wait Marco.

[paks]

Thanks for sharing Marco, I am your big fan and a student too 😊💞

[kenminerva]

You played with Paul Gilbert, Marco! Don't you forget that because that was when I saw a monster of a drummer 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[pindopurba]
