Thomen ("The Omen") Stauch (born March 11, 1970) is a heavy metal drummer, who has worked with various bands in the past. He began his career with the German power metal act Blind Guardian. He was a founding member of the band, playing drums on their 1985 demo, Symphonies of Doom. He remained with the band until April 2005,[citation needed] with his last release from the band being the live album Imaginations Through the Looking Glass, and his last studio album being the 2002 release A Night at the Opera
While still in Blind Guardian, he formed Savage Circus with friend Piet Sielck. Piet introduced him to Persuader vocalist Jens Carlsson and guitarist Emil Norberg, who completed the band's lineup. They released their debut album Dreamland Manor in August of 2005. Due to health problems causing him to miss too many gigs, Thomen was fired from the band on August 17, 2007
He has also played drums for the band Coldseed with Soilwork frontman Björn "Speed" Strid.
Thomen is known for his fast and technical drumming skill. Especially on the Blind Guardian album A Night at the Opera where he mixes the traditional intensity and speed of the band's older style, with new, more technical and progressive elements. He is a user of Premier Drums, Paiste Cymbals and Vic Firth Drumsticks.
