Drums (former)
Thomen "The Omen" Stauch is a drummer at Blind Guardian. He is the only one of them who has no particular interest in fantasy literature. He was also the drummer at Iron Savior but left since his work at BG was time-consuming. He was replaced by Dan Zimmermann of Gamma Ray who plays drums at both bands. Hansi Kursch of BG also did some vocals for Iron Savior at that time.
