Mario Duplantier (born June 19, 1981) is a French musician who is the drummer of Gojira.

Early life

Mario Duplantier grew up in a family where arts played a significant role. He developed his drawing, painting, and music skills in an environment of freedom and creativity. In 1996, Mario and his brother, Joe Duplantier, created the band Gojira.

On tour

While touring with Gojira, he has decided to transform each trip into a painting and drawing session. The artistic material that came out of these trips became very crucial to him, which is why making art has turned into a daily activity. Unconsciously, Mario creates random surrealistic paintings made of hybrid characters and animals that tell stories.

Equipment

Mario is endorsed by Tama drums and Zildjian cymbals.
