Biography

Grosskopf was born in Hildesheim on October 23, 1949. He started his career in the 1960s as a drummer in the beat group The Stuntmen, and toward the end of the decade played in a then-unknown Scorpions. He later played drums in Wallenstein and Ashra, as well as for many of Klaus Schulze's solo albums. In 1980, he issued his debut LP, Synthesist, which became a cult classic of German electronic music.[1] New York’s RVNG international label reissued the album, with remakes by James Ferraro, Oneohtrix and others in February 2011.[1] In 1980 Grosskopf co-founded the Neue Deutsche Welle band Lilli Berlin, and he remained their drummer until 1983.[2]
