Mani Neumeier
Mani Neumeier (born 31/12/1940) started as a jazz drummer in the early-1960's, who during these early days caught the attention of many as a highly original percussionist, especially famous for custom rebuilding his drum set, and inventing the novel (instantly re-tuneable) "Mani Tom". His earliest known works are with Alexander von Schlippenbach, and then came the roots of the band Guru Guru, with the Irene Schweizer Trio, at which time he also did work as a solo percussionist and experimentalist.
