CANNIBAL CORPSE-A Skull Full of Maggots-Paul Mazurkiewicz. Live in Poland 2022 (Drum Cam) 

He is one of the pioneers of single foot blast beats, he is one of my virtual masters in drumming, learned from him how to hit hard, as you said, not those lady clicks

Actually I just heard a Downbeat podcast episode with him where he stated lots of the songs are played live to a click track and they are trying to get them all done to a click track in future. So we cannot tell this isnt one of them 😁 But it is a cool drum video anyway of course 😎

Whats the head phones for and he is turning to the side to push a button , is that the click track . By click track to you mean metromone@@Metalarny

​@@Metalarnyactually he said in that one that this was one of the songs that doesn't have a click yet

@@Gjallarhorn84paul has never done a single foot blast in his entire career, he only does bomb blasts (double bass behind the blast)

Just subdivisions man.. ride in the 3 snare and kick in the 2. A 3/2 polyrhythm

@@LeYoIdBeHe wierdo

He was missing beats with the kicks though and his tempo was all over the map...mans getting old.

Same people who hate on Lars will hate on Paul. I wouldn't even want to see either band with a different drummer. No drummer could make cannibal corpse sound better than they do with paul.

Quarter note triplet ride with snare and kick forming 8th notes together

its a polyrhythm so the snare is keeping tempo while the ride plays quarter note triplets

yeah on tomb there is stuff i cant decipher to this day

​@@KingCrimson82it's just sloppiness, nothing to decipher

@@marduk6836yeah but it’s really really consistent sloppiness so maybe it is just a weird choice for him to make because he doesn’t know much technical shit about the instrument he plays Either way who cares. Fits perfectly with the band he plays for. That’s what matters.

For me as a drummer it sounds a bit sloppy at first. But way to consistent if he would not do it on purpose. So i think it‘s just a way to play it more creative. …and i fcking love it! Btw. You can hear simmular sloppyness on the first Sodom records with Chris Witchhunter on drums. I beleve this is real sloppyness. (due to left handed player on right handed kit) But still love his fluent style of playing!

Teraz, już wiesz ;). I tak... To był wspaniały koncert!

Takie pytanie: czy Paul Mazurkiewicz mówi po polsku?@@drummersfromhell666

U got that right 🤘

He can actually play technical af aswell

@@bumface1810 his later work on CC proved it

drumming has allot to do with an well swung axe

Exactly

it ADDS to it in fact

It’s like we’ve been programmed to enjoy perfectly orchestrated music now. The imperfections make it human!

Yep! It’s nice when a bass drum sounds like a bass drum instead of a clicking noise!!!

I'm the first that loves tight playing and technically sound players, but everything doesn't have to be metronomically perfect all the time. Not saying that you have to be a sloppy mess, far from it, but it's nice to hear organic playing with little imperfections here and there giving more character to the music. Everyone can blast and double kick tightly to high bpms these days, but not sounding boring and like a robot is becoming harder also.

You bastard! DO NOT call Paul Screech!

@@bumface1810 cringe

Obsolete legend

​@@dmitriyk5042 You just don´t realize how many drummers this guy has influenced within the death metal genre. Not worth arguing with a brainless hater :)

@@BlastbeaterPT Younger kids these days are not impressed by ANYTHING. If it's not 500bpm, everything "sucks" to them. If music isn't perfectly timed with a metronome, they whine and complain.

Check out Mortician...

His sound may be somewhat caveman, but believe me- he has serious technical ability also. Listen to ‘Carrion sculpted entity’ or ‘Centuries of torment’ for example.

you don't know what you're talking about

@Sandor - who?

@@bumface1810 not you, the OP

@@sandorclegane752 go take a flying fuck for yourself.

Kudos for Proscriptor but we should add Gene Hoglan to this list.

Pat oBrien 😭

@@pantera31169311 he'll never stop playing guitar so i'm sure we'll see him again one day

those things are not mutually exclusive

I bet Paul does have a pretty nice yard

Paul actually lives on a farm with horses.

@@bumface1810 I've noticed metalheads tend to live simpler, more humble lifestyles. Farmland, livestock, etc. They seem to spend their money more wisely.

Thrash metal and death metal have roots in old school punk.

Something like that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cmD3kNdMzPw.html

Whoa, this is totally new to me and so fucking cool. That's such a great idea. Honestly, I didn't even notice other than thinking it was really close together. I'm recovering from surgery. I'm fucked up.

I think he got a little simpler over the years as the rest of the band got more technical. His best drumming is on Tomb of the Mutilated imo

You sonovabitch! Don’t call Paul Skeletor!

Paul’s blasts are the perfect tempo. You can still hear the bass drum on every down beat so it still sounds like an actual beat. Plus it’s sounds powerful. When other drummers do that gravity blast(one handed roll) it sounds like weak muddled shit.

I can't say for sure about this guy because I've never been a big CC fan, but usually it allows you to use foot techniques for double strokes. Makes blasting easier. Some drummers have special soft soled shoes. It's also just more comfortable. I hate playing with shoes on. Boots are even worse. I don't know how some guys do it, so awkward.

@@bjacobcampbell9578 interesting. I'm not a drummer so I wasn't sure. Suprised they don't have socks at least. Though that might make things less stiff

@@hypnovertigo7200 I think it depends on how sweaty you are.

It's all about personal choice and feel. I've seen drummers go from barefeet to heavy boots like New Rock.

Es pq paul no sabe tocar batería, lo ha dicho muchas veces en entrevistas y se nota pq no sabe llevar bien los tiempos o a veces los cambios, aún asi, sin saber tocar y toda su trayectoria, es para mi uno de los mejores bateristas, el mismo ha afirmado que ha intentado tener otros bandas a aparte de cannibal corpse pero no funcionaban por la misma razón de no saber tocar, según sus propias palabras, el nació para tocar en cannibal corpse, una leyenda.

@@piratealoomuere934 BUENO... nunca antes mejor dicho... indudablemente tiene el toque... gracias PAUL... JEJEJEJEJ

@Pirätealö o Müerë a lot of the OG extreme drummers were/are like that. Ken Owen wasn't technically accomplished but was absolutely perfect for Carcass.

@@bjacobcampbell9578 Every metal drummer had an "unproffessional" start, but they all got better techniques through time, but paul never did and he recognizes that, that's the reason why i say that he is an unbelievable legend on drums.

Inconsistent tempo is what makes music HUMAN, though. People are saying the tempo is inconsistent as if they're starting and stopping at awkward times and fuckin' everything all up. I like the little inconsistencies. It reminds me that these people are not perfect and that I don't have to be, either.

a long time ago

Maybe a third or a fourth of us.

I prefer bare feet playing and also play fast stuff (punk/thrash mainly). Less slip, and feel like I got better control of the pedals. You'll see others who prefer socks on, light shoes, or just regular sneakers. All just preference at the end of the day, haha.

how you improve your foot technique?

@@prixmadiseno3185 practice Para diddles on your snare and kick

THE Tom Healy? No way

@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 You know what? I'm gonna say that next time my girlfriend says we're getting old. At least we didn't die young. 🤷😂

But the feeel man…hahaha

Now he is like Lars: don't need to prove anything to anyone. Legends do that. Your legacy that counts.

Yeah, the timing here is barely Excaptable...

thats the appeal, adds so much to the sound... just crumbling..

“The fact that he is in the same band this many years”🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ It’s his band.

I get what you're saying, but I think not everyone is striving to become some sort of "almighty drummer". Maybe all that matters for the guy is the fact he can still play all these songs for so long. I personally fell inspired when I see this kind of thing, ~35 years and still doing what he loves.

@@zcryamk completely agree with your point. But still, not my kind of drumming. Thank you.

@@brodo4495 so what?

try playing along to Cannibal tracks... I find it harder than some tracks that are way more technical and played to a click...
