Marco Minnemann - Double Kick Inversions

Here's a feet exercise for right and left lead playing,
Have fun :-).

[@procha92]

Such a beast. Love how he smiles all the time, no matter how hard, complex or fast the pattern is. Hands down, Marco is the king.

[@misterfunnybones]

I do the same thing using the square root of negative prime numbers.

[@guitarmeetsscience]

I IMAGINE that's quite difficult

@@jeffmaya5345 Oh my goodness...I forgot all about that one - thanks Jeff!

[@zeug9043]

Reminds me of Yoga videos for beginners. "As a warm-up we make a gordian knot with our legs while doing a handstand on the left arm. The right hand rests on the left ear. Breath nomally." %-)

[@francisrobinson9236]

Lol

[@LukeSnyderMusic]

This is killer Marco, your left foot is quite impressive. I'll definitely take this to the drum set, thanks for taking the time to do this video.

[@megablablatruch]

ah he`s got three legs.one is probably hidden.

[@zeus259]

TheAnimystro lmao

[@khd17]

Well I'm glad its hidden! Every guy is a tripod! Aaaaaaahh! Sorry, man!

[@admsitio]

He is a Genius. What a character!

[@camflaugelargeeeeee]

Great way to apply both a musical and endurance exercise for the feet! deff one for the books..

[@father042]

With Steven Wilson his talent didn't go to waste

What is this sorcery?

[@BenMichalowicz]

I'm a drummer, and it actually helps me become better, as would with other drummers who can learn through visuals and then practice it whenever they can.

[@JeffDesmond]

Those doubles are INSANE. Any exercises to get our limbs up to that speed?

[@RandyHanley]

This video should not be overlooked! WTF, this is way more insane than it sounds!

[@zl2848]

He is seriously the best drummer in the world. Amazing!!

[@davemieze9021]

NASA discovered Marco at Roswell in 1946. He hasn't aged at all since then.

[@kurtrh63]

Thank you Mr. Minnemann , very instructive.

[@ljcdrum563]

Dedication, imagination and hard work.

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Waw.. how you play , Hihat foot so quickly.. amazing 🔥🙏

[@trevorchristensen8043]

wtf is life

[@barryfrench9603]

I don't think so. Marco is phenomenal but I didn't think he would fit the group so well image wise. In that respect Mangini is perfect. Whose drumming do I prefer more? Marco makes me smile more. :)

[@mrg1968]

As always amazing, tks Marco!

[@Ribsletics]

You have your kit mic'd. Use them? =P

[@SuperHelldrummer]

THANK GOD YOU ARE NOT IN DREAM THEATER, I MEAN YOU DESERVE MORE :)

[@spercoco]

He's not in Dream Theater because Mangini beat him out of the gig; otherwise he would be with them.

[@gringochucha]

1. We'll never know exactly what went on behind the scenes. 2. It's clear that DT (i.e. Petrucci) wanted somebody who committed 200% to the band for the rest of eternity and wasn't going around fucking other bands and musicians constantly. It's also pretty clear that, at the end of the day, DT (i.e. Petrucci) wanted the best human drum-robot on the market, but ultimately a human drum-robot who would do as told and not want to have a big influence on the music. 3. Marco is constantly working with tons of different musicians and writing and recording his solo albums. He's undoubtedly one of the top drummers on the planet and has worked and recorded with some of the best musicians out there. 4. He has already stated that DT wasn't really that interesting for him as a job. I believe him. Sure, you might think that anybody would dream (no pun intended) of being in DT; good money, stability, etc. But some of us prefer freedom and fun to stability and better pay. And besides, I'm pretty sure Marco doesn't have to go around begging anyone for gigs ; )

[@spercoco]

He auditioned for the band hoping to get the gig just like the other drummers that auditioned. It's easy to say that oh he didn't want the gig and he's better off on his own and that he has more creativity, bla, bla, bla. Listen I'm not a huge DT fan and never was. Nor am I even a big Mangini fan; he grew up in the town next to me and we took lessons with the same drum teacher at one point and that's about it; that's as far as I go with knowing anything about him. But to say he is a yes man and a robot is just bs and you know it; t sounds like you are a bit perturbed that your man Marco didn't get the gig. BTW Mangini has just as much input into what DT produces in terms of music as any other drummer would in any band. A lot of the stugg changed once he joined the band and you can hear his influence on the music. Some people will argue that they liked Portnoy's influence better but that's all opinion.

[@musicM0VESme]

It's true. This man is so much better than DT. He's on different levels.

[@RoccoHernandez87]

Mangini didn’t beat anybody!!! DT need a drummer who plays EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT, no new ideas, no innovation, no composition, obviously no showin of and well you have the result on Mangini. Marco and Virgil where actually way beyond the band and it can see on the videos! Thomas Lang was beyond too but Marco and Virgil really attend the audition just for fun...

[@belisare4397]

You are so RAD beyond words. YOU are AWESOME! thanks a lot! ♫♪♥

[@zomgitzakitteh]

That was INCRAZYABLE!

[@drumstud4u]

Not only that but Mangini is a good fit for the group...he's an incredible talent and certainly has the chops!

[@mentalfitnesscare728]

This guy is AMAZING!

[@THIStm]

thanks for your demonstrations.

[@Vigilant_Guardian]

Fred Astair tap dancing couldnt have been more ,, unattainable for my level of coordination..lol thou i may be a "nep ~ nut " it still gives me a RUSH to hear such flurry of activities, happy drumming ,

[@Dehangus]

I would say if anything Gavin Harrison's drumming is too technical, I've never thought of Marcos drumming as too technical he is just a genius that doesn't mean he plays too technically.

[@JD0x0]

While you are not wrong, Marco's band mate Guthrie Govan, has the opposite idea. He doesn't like doing repetitive, "boring" exercises. Guthrie believes it's more important to practice by getting the sound in your head, out, on the instrument.

[@stephenvastardis243]

Ah dangit. I've been practicing this exercise for the past week on my guitar and was wondering why it sounded different. I guess thats what happens when you try to play guitar with your feet.

[@stupendous7848]

the amount of control he has at that speed is nuts

[@kubawytrykowski8590]

You are incredible crazy :D:D:D and i love when you smile at stage i can feel the kick of positive vibe too :D

[@GLCover]

how do you use your bass drum and hihat together?

[@porcaro4ever]

I just wish he would smile more and enjoy what he is doing.

[@Chorofonfilo]

First time I've seen something like that with two hi hats, Dream Theater should audition for Marco's band.

[@YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

That's sounds really cool with hats, no need for a bass drum, acutally, maybe one kick once in a while!)))

[@barryfrench9603]

I used to do that a lot as well when I played but nowhere near Marcos standard obviously :)

[@alejandrockalejo]

what sorcery is this?

[@Akie51_Old]

Ah that's a good exercise, and it's useful also to warm up before doing anything else ^^

[@mionome501]

how many feets does he have?

[@Ariel1Dominguez]

2, he has a giant dick tough

[@huethermusic]

Vielen Dank für die Inspiration. ....

[@MrUnpendejo]

is he playing with his peanus cus i see hi hat up and down at the same time that a bass drum hit hears(the kind of hit can be distinct from a right foot hit.), how does he do that?

[@agnesthedrugstoreownersdau3577]

No, this guy is a fucking master, and in order to become a master, you must practice your ass off. Today, when I struggle with my guitar playing because for years I've been practicing the wrong way, I wish I had some freak like Marko to slap me every time I say "theory is boring" or "that's no music".

[@randyporter3491]

That my friends is a lesson in "Advanced, Differential Calculus with Sticks !"

[@thebeatsmith6594]

Right....I got it.........NOOOOOOTTTTT!!!! but I enjoyed the video.

[@miaris]

Epic ending I must say ;)

[@Continuum1]

Genius..minnemann

uhhhhhhhhh....yeah....ummm...geez i sure love playing my Strat! PS, I have a 12 piece Tama (with all the brass) for sale..............

[@rk4580]

I totally agree with you. Its all about practice. Like for example you should practice your written english.

[@amielprimavera]

He looks like dirk nowitzki ,lol...........

[@DaveysMistress]

just like that...simple. hah

[@jesux_fstack]

awesome :P

[@Mp5Drummer]

Mangini has been using two operable hi-hats (usually a total of 4 sets of hats on the kit) for years. And I mean like 20 years or more. You can hear it on Dream Theater's latest album! No disrespect to Marco of course, but multiple hi-hats isn't unique to him.

[@piski5341]

Living drum machine :)

[@GeoRythmic]

Anyone has insights on how to place your foot on the pedals to "easily" play both at the same time?

[@username78213]

pedals very close next to eachother place foot where pedals connect

[@MikeHorneMusic]

Boom!! Marco you beast!!...

[@Bamisliertjes]

How can the hihats go on up and down when he's using his double bass?!

[@drumbitious_mirna6999]

He plays two pedals with each foot

[@korndud]

seriously tho. how is he using three pedals at once?

[@brunobismarck37]

how many foots you have?

[@The_Other_Ghost]

Why was I thinking Anthrax/ Public Enemy Bring the Noise?

[@AledesChica]

O.o ... WTF??? The best!

[@adrianbird1964]

Amazing technically.

Thanks a lot for the video master lml

How about "thanks for recording something at all, Marco" ?

[@manusvdrumcovers540]

If I only could play at that speed that clean with my feet.

Which china is this? on the left..

[@19leo90]

[@norwaydude6]

Looks like a K or K custom

[@felphero]

It's like he's blast beating with high hats hahaha

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

Needs more hihats. Other than that its quite good.

Close your eyes and this is Roy from The I.T. Crowd teaching Moss how to play drums.

[@dblkix]

You're just Sick!!!

[@applejacks971]

Holy crapcicles!!!! WTH did I just watch?? :/ That's insane!!!!

[@zzqqwwer]

I'm kind of glad he didn't get picked for Dream Theater cause if he did we wouldn't get to hear his drumming on The Raven That Refused to Sing by Steven Wilson which is so badass and the stuff with Guthrie Govan and The Aristocrats well thats what I think anyways

[@thewhitepipe9877]

I agree

[@steves2176]

This is just inhuman! So are his other vids, especially the 9 tuplet pyramid! He must have two separate brains with both controlling all extremities together or independent of each other. That's the only thing I can think of….

[@newtonleal1925]

Very Cool

[@drumrnva]

Are those die casts on the tom batters? Anybody know?

[@jlaustill]

Yes they are

[@DruidTM]

Very nice....insane....and tough...but Very nice;-)

[@simonl1785]

More HIHAT?

[@danielbachar5864]

Looks like someone has been dancing in a fiery pentagram..

[@JeffDesmond]

Probably, but maybe he knows some specific exercises or some tips.

[@Hellyeahkid57]

Respect !

[@MrUnpendejo]

sorry i just found out he placed his left foot on kick drumm and hi hat.

[@vineetdhamankar9614]

Beast...

[@GustavoLopez-ig9tc]

Sticks controll with the feets

[@cool555breeze]

I wish I could play my guitar even a bit like he plays drums...

[@k.bowers8372]

Oh ok is that all?

[@nicolasfrossard4315]

Yeah but the bass drum pedal isnt the same as the hi hat

[@Ricki_Snow]

Living proof that aliens do exist

[@Matdav4]

Nice!!!!

[@ivandiaz9140]

Sick!

No, Thank YOU master!
