Gustav Wolfgang Schäfer was born September 8, 1988 in Magdeburg, Germany. He has played drums since the age of 5. He is featured on the Meinl Cymbals website.
Gustav Quotes:
On success:
Yes, I’m really glad to see our efforts crowned this way. I believe that I’ve made the right choices. Drums came into my life when I was 5, and I’ve spend all my energy for it. When all the kids of the neighborhood were playing outside, I was alone, in my room, playing drums for hours. I was made for that, I was sure of that.
The day I saw Bill & Tom rehearsing in a shed in Magdeburg all those years ago, I kind of had a revelation. I knew my fate would be to play with them. And I wasn’t wrong.
On his drums and his perfectionism:
With me, everything has to be perfectly settled. I never leave place for improvisation, even for some small details. For example, I systematically put my drums and stool in a extremely precise place of the stage, always the same place. If someone tried to move them, even a centimeter, I could be really cross ! Except my assistant, no one is allowed to approach my drums.

Talk about fate and revelation… I never thought he do believe in those. Can’t tell it by his looks. I’m glad that fate brought them together, or else my every day would be just more plain. And talk about precision… he really got the discipline. Starting to play the drum at a very early age, this man is a Wolfgang (pun intended) of drum. And with that glasses, I’m starting to have this impression of him as a… nerd, music nerd that is. Well, I have to add that me and my brother are quite amusingly fascinated by his childhood plumpness turning into manly muscles. We are quite impressed of his drumming skill.

By the way… This was so-called 120 BEATS a minute! I’m sure many steering columns were broken on trip in 90s :)

U guys great, but I’m sure (my personal opinion) you will have much more succes hooking up with Dieter Bolen. Bad Boys Blue, CC Catch, Modern Talking, Fancy, and a few others. Look what was going up in clubs in Europe in 90s! I heard their songs playing in Hungary, the middle East, africa, France, brazil, USSR, Spain to name a few. Rock is fine, but the most world likes not only rock. Dieter is one of the most talented music writers for 2 decades straight. Or, may be techno. Jy should try.

I think I will be upset if he go on his separate way. I love his music with the Kaulitz twins and Georg. After a decade of making music together, I won’t help but to see it as treachery if he do heed your advice.

I think Gustav deserves a lot more credit for how awesome he is…I mean, I love Bill, but when ever I read an interview with Gustav, I’m like “Wow! He’s really cool!” I love how he’s the more serious one in the group, especially when you’ve got the twins to worry about :P
