All members except one are German, though Campino's mother, Jenny, was English. Drummer Vom comes from England. He joined in 1999, after previous drummer Wölli sustained injuries in a car crash. Wölli had played from 1985 to 1999 and is still an honorary member of the band. The drummer until 1985 was Trini Trimpop, who became the band's manager when Wölli joined.
