Daniel "Danny" Secundus Fichelscher, (born 3 July 1953[1] in Berlin), is a German guitarist and drummer who played a pivotal role in Krautrock band Popol Vuh, was a member of the German group Gila and is currently Amon Düül II's drummer.
[1] Daniel Fichelscher was, for most of their history, Florian Fricke's only stable partner in Popol Vuh.
[1] Together with Fricke, he also played in Conny Veit's group Gila on their second album, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
[1] Fichelscher's importance within Popol Vuh began to diminish around 1991 when he was flanked by Guido Hieronymus, who also played guitar and who greatly influenced the group's music.
Since 2006, after Florian Fricke's death and Popol Vuh's dissolution, Fichelscher has played drums again with Amon Düül II, replacing the group's original drummer, the late Peter Leopold.
