Sean Reinert was the drummer of the now disbanded group Cynic. He is known for his technical and creative drumming.

In 1991, Reinert and Paul Masvidal (also of Cynic) joined the band Death to record the Human album. After touring with Death, he returned to Cynic. Because of legal ties with the record company, Sean could not play on the next Death album (leading to the famous collaboration of Chuck Shuldiner and new drummer Gene Hoglan which would last for through the next two Death albums).

Cynic released its only album ever in 1993, by the name of Focus. He was the drummer for the band Gordian Knot on its self-titled album, Gordian Knot, and half of its second album, Emergent. Gordian Knot was created by Cynic bass player Sean Malone.

Malone and Reinert also played together in the band Aghora, an experimental progressive/technical metal band. Reinert still continues to record with the band, though Malone has since left, after recording a single album. Reinert also continues as a member of Æon Spoke.
