Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on December 24, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Marco Minnemann! You're the only drummer we know who can juggle genres faster than most people juggle drumsticks. From your mind-blowing educational videos that made us rethink rhythm entirely, to your jaw-dropping collaborations across rock, jazz and everything in between—your beats have truly become timeless classics.

Whether you're dazzling audiences with intricate polyrhythms or effortlessly switching instruments mid-performance (seriously, is there anything you can't play?), you've proven time and again that musical boundaries are merely suggestions. Here's wishing you another year filled with epic solos, genre-defying adventures—and maybe a few more cymbals to break along the way!
