About Christoph Schneider
Christoph Schneider is best known as the drummer for the German act Rammstein, one of the most successful and influential rock-bands in the world. Between 2019 and 2024, the band embarked on a worldwide stadium tour, performing 135 shows to over 6 million fans, cementing their status as a global phenomenon.
