Harald Grosskopf

Harald Grosskopf is a German drummer and synthesist. He played drums with Wallenstein, Ashra and the Cosmic Jokers and on many of Klaus Schulze's solo albums of the 1970s. His own album Synthesist (Sky Records, 1980) is regarded as a cult classic of German electronic music. Grosskopf started out in the 1960s in the beat group The Stuntmen. Schulze brought him in to drum on Moondawn (1976), and he also plays on Body Love and X. Manuel Göttsching then asked him to join Ashra, with whom he recorded Correlations (1979).
