Awsome band thanks! How about John Longstreth of Origin kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX_dq6Wmmdx1aqM

[@garryredpath2098]

Paul used to have a really bad posture playing drums which lead to back problems (LUMBAGO for the RDR2 players sic). He used to play with his knees much higher then his hips and leaned right forward putting lots of stress on his hip flexors and lower back. Over time he has adjusted his hip height and straightened his back out. He also used to angle his toms similar to how Dave Lombardo angles his toms but has flattened them out over time aswell.

Love Paul he’s a fantastic drummer. Not technically the best by today’s standards but pioneering and plays with way more character. You can hear he’s pushing himself to his limits sometimes and it adds to the crazy feel of corpse’s music.

[@Dummertrummer]

Czarcie Kopyto pedals are absolutely mindblowing! The power and the quality is absolutely superior. Some drummers say that they cost a bit too much. But if you try one and experience the pedal irl, the case etc, you will notice that the price is actually quite generous. And the support from the guys at CK is pleasant and fast. They deserve all success they can get!

[@drumtechniqueacademy]

yeah I agree...their customer service is overwhelming- great company

[@popeluigi]

3:13 I think you overanalyzed this a bit. To me, it just looks like he was sloppy in getting the hammer blast started. It happens a lot during live shows when drummers play a lot of blast beats

[@NickSwe]

finally someone giving props to paul for being the real deal, he doesn't needs to trigger the shit out of his kit to play death metal, I would have chosen a better song for the video though, this one is too frantic, in later releases his playing became more focused I would say.

[@drumtechniqueacademy]

I chose the timeless classic :-)

[@NickSwe]

@MarsHolst20 nah, they have songs that are around or over 200 bpm, Evidence In The Furnace comes to my mind at once, fast enough for any modern drummer to trigger the snare and bass drums. And gimme a break, most tech drummers nowadays trigger their kits regardless of the speed they are playing, Pete Sandoval recorded World Downfall without triggers, speed is simply not a valid argument, it just makes playing easier, that's why most use triggers. Anyway, my point was that Paul gets some heat for not being such a flashy drummer but at least he is the real deal.

[@murk4552]

@@NickSwe it enhances sound quality and doesn't make it "easier" when most drummers with an already audiophile ear for overtones and shit like that have to pay extra attention even more with "triggers".

[@NickSwe]

@@murk4552 yeah right, try recording without triggers and then ask the engineer if you made his life easier by playing that way, and count the takes you have to make to play a song while playing at 200 bpm. xD

[@daedricvisions8981]

I noticed the Thomas Lang signature pad but are those his signature sticks as well? I started using the Lang sticks a couple years ago and it’s really made my drum playing a lot better and cleaner. Absolutely love the weight, width, and the acorn tip.

Hello Marthyn! Small things like that toe on right foot you noticed are very useful - I did same things couple of years back but took some time till i noticed what was wrong hah. Anyway, please do a video with Kevin Paradis of Benighted. Thanks..,cheers!

[@psycosnare1]

From the look of it, the switch from the corps blast to the hammer blast was not a choice. His left hand was slowing down so he just ran with it because it was easier to maintain. He had a lot of tension all over his body from trying to get power from shear force rather than good technique. He still played it well and people without drum training would never notice. With the genre he is in, most would assume it is just stage presence.
