Jazz-fusion band "The Aristocrats" (Marco Minnemann - drums, Guthrie Govan - guitar, and Bryan Beller - bass) gave three mesmerising concerts in Vladivostok and Nakhodka in December 2012. Their visit was supported by the U.S. Consulate General in Vladivostok, Primorye Regional Philharmonic Hall, music clubs Shiber and Cat'N Clover. The project took place under the auspices of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission.
Джаз-фьюжн группа "The Aristocrats" (Марко Миннеманн - ударные, Гатри Гован - гитара, Брайен Беллер - бас) дали три незабываемых аншлаговых концерта во Владивостоке и Находке в декабре 2012 года. Их визит прошел при поддержке Генерального консульства США во Владивостоке, Приморской краевой филармонии, музыкальных клубов "Шибер" и "Кот и Клевер" под эгидой Двусторонней Российско-Американской Президентской Комиссии.

I came here for Guthrie, but stayed for Marco.

I would've stayed from Dream Theater if Marco had been chosen.

You´re so right! But M. Mangini is also a monster tho

+John Maconochie They're all probably watching this video and kicking themselves haha. Even though he doesn't fit in the band as well as Mike he's much more entertaining to watch. And that double kick! The strokes are so goddamn even! Most drummers playing double kick that fast would sound like marbles falling down stairs using a trigger or a pillow/vent mic combo and he sounds like this using a single 52 by itself in front of the vent?!

[@Maconochiejohn]

I flicking love Marco and mangini.

[@annoball]

14:23 that was fuckin insane.... 5/4 right hand, 4/4 rest. Marco is indeed a gifted drummer

[@drumboarder1]

It's only 1 limb doing independent stuff, he's way better than being able to have 1 limb independent

[@jc3drums916]

Not 4/4 and 5/4, those are time signatures. He's playing a 4:3 polyrhythm between his right foot and left hand, while his right hand goes from 2 to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and finally 8.

Messieur Marco was just too bloody good and creative for DT. He is just in his element here, at least it looks like that to me. Stunning performance from all of the guys.

[@BobLoeber]

Dear God what a talented trio capable of TOP HONORS of drums, bass and guitar across the globe!!! You just cannot deny that... The dexterity of Marco is insane!!! PROGRESSIVE JAZZ FUSION at its finest!! Kudos Aristocrats!!! I want to see more!!

[@danielvalladares8763]

Saw this guys live, and Marco is just amazing. Not only what he plays, but the tone on every pice of the kit of his drums. It was completely perfect. It's difficult for me to remember a drummer with a better live tone than Marco.

[@Gattobuono]

Apart from being amazing musicians The Aristocrats have two ingredients sadly lacking from the vast majority of music out there today: imagination and a sense of humour! Wonderful stuff :-)

I seem to smell Zappa :-)

[@Gattobuono]

00groove that's so surreal man, far out ;-) However, toast and sock comparisons aside, these guys are seriously amazing, no?

[@00groove]

Gatto Buono Although it's not really something I would put in a cd player very often, I do like watching these guys because of the obvious joy of playing.. and the humor.

This sounds like rush on steroids, lol.. very talented band.. very talented!! Marco is one of, if not the best drummer on planet Earth.. period. His technique, and his flow of playing the drums is simply amazing and flawless as always.. he's a beast.. there's definitely noone out there that can hold a candle to him.. at all.. don't get me wrong, I love alot of other drummers out there as well, but Marco just kills that shit man.. he's so talented it's ridiculous.. so good..

Marco may very well be my favorite drummer and he is certainly one of the greatest. Even with the other greats, I'll venture few have the stamina and the consistency. Marco's phrasing is often playful and everyone young and old, skilled and unskilled can enjoy.

[@st3ppenwolf]

Minneman and Govan are probably the best two musicians that ever formed a group..

[@popeyesailor9571]

I have seen them 4 times. They are so good live. their energy and chemistry onstage is remarkable. I was at the pre show when Gurhries guitar fell over and he said "Oh no" which they wrote a song about. Great guys!

[@quadparents]

This is on a musical level I have not EVER heard or processed before. And I'd like to think, like most of you, that I've heard my fair share of music in my life. Utterly mind boggling.

[@Tranarpnorra]

There's something Zappa-esque over this. I love it!

[@gavinsnyder5627]

It's funny how you say that because I've never really been able to get into Zappas music. Although many people cite him as being a "musical genius", I find his music to lack feeling. Which has always been the main reason I think I never really got into it. Plus I find it almost amazing that he managed to make such a variety of music while lacking feeling or emotion so consistently. Basically, music is typically rather "emotionally" driven in an authentic way. But somehow with Zappas music it's almost nonexistent to me personally. Aside from a few songs or sometimes just a section here and there. But in general I don't come across people who really compliment Franks "feel" or anything like that. Usually people just resort to how his music was technically impressive. Which to me, is a completely differnt aspect. You've got the technical elements of music. (Which could be considered objective in many ways) Then you've got the artistic side of it. (Which is more subjective) An all I'm saying is although Zappas music is technically interesting, it's not very artistic. I think his lack of feel reflects his basic personality. In otherwords, his regular in-person demeanor was fairly dull, monotoned an absent of much expression. To me, this goes over into his music as well. Then as a guitar player I never heard any licks or techniques Frank utilized and wanted to learn or practice that particular technique. Just not my style. But in terms of sheer technique, I can respect some of it. But his music has very little artistic value to me. However, I will say I love his guitar playing on Watermelon in Easter hay. It's literally his only song that I really thoroughly enjoy through-and-through. I'm amazed that he played such a beautiful song but doesn't have anything that comes close in my opinion artistically. An I grew up with family who are die-hard Zappa fans. So it's not like I've only heard a song or two. I even own a few albums still to this day despite not being a real big fan. I've actually seen Zappa plays Zappa years ago. An it was an okay show. But I was really only there because I'm a huge Steve Vai fan. Which I know is rather ironic considering Steves relationship an influence from Frank. But it's the truth. Franks music is more so a technical feat rather than an artistic one. Equivalent to how we don't really consider someone who's a professional marksman to be an artist. Yes, it's a skill, but it's not an artistic expression. That's pretty much how I see Frank Zappa.

[@Tranarpnorra]

​@@gavinsnyder5627 My comment to this vide was because it certainly fall into the vein of what FZ would call "meltdown" as can be heard on 'The Jazz Discharge Party Hats' and 'The Dangerous Kitchen' on TMFU except in this video there are no vocals. It also reminds me of some other pieces here and there, hence "Zappa-esque". Then again you could just call the music in this video "Polski Freejazz". =) I can agree to some degree with you, the feeling in his music comes from the unique musicians he hired while his songwriting was at times extremely challenging technically and could be considered as "dry". As for the artistic expression, I think some of FZ's music certainly are one of the more artsy out there. While I love Zappas music I certainly don't appreciate ALL of his music. BTW, I'm a drummer myself.
