Paul Mazurkiewicz and CANNIBAL CORPSE

[Lenzo001]

fuck yea

[WikiHeba96]

Paul Mazurkiewicz has Polish roots

I am fucking proud !

[brownzfan10]

cannibal corpse playing outside at midday wtf?

[Th3RussBus]

So this is to the people who keep complaining about his drumming height. Paul realised he needed to change even re-learn his playing style, which included sitting at a more appropriate height, changing to thinner sticks and even using clicks. Look at the date this was posted, so he has improved heaps since then and he is better than ever.

[AQganon]

@Th3RussBus I'm not sure why he changed to smaller sticks. Larger sticks usually enhance speed.

[Th3RussBus]

@AQganon Watch the making of Evisceration Plague, you can find it on youtube. It should explain what I cant remember.

[TaurenWardrums]

@AQganon Funny you should say that, because I play very fast death metal and large sticks only slow me down. Same can be said for a lot of drummers I know and have talked to.

[AQganon]

@TaurenWardrums Really? Larger sticks are a must for me. My stick technique is much like Pete Sandovals.

[TaurenWardrums]

@AQganon That probably explains it, then. Mine is more like John Longstreth's.

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

@HometownHonky Tenks dude! :D

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

@HometownHonky OFFCOURSE BRO!!!! YEAH THE BEST IN THEIR GENRE!

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

Hammer smashed faceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeee!! and all song!! fuck!!! yeaaaaaaaaah! sorry for my english, i'm learning english! :D correct me plis!

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

omg plis tell me, what's the name of song!!!

[cwelliver1985]

Tampa, FL my dick. Buffalo, NY FTW. Oh and BTW, Paul's the fucking man. Fuck all the haters!

[deathmonster2010]

the older he gets the better he becomes.



[sebaswildboy]

why is he so low?

[BurnThePope0514]

@drumsistkrieg1349 pussy

[tucamoton666]

fat curly headed fuck

[drumsistkrieg1349]

@tucamoton666 Really? Is that even necessary?

[8GVirus]

this is exactly a classic death metal drumming

[novembre8211]

Happy Birthday Paul!

[99siks10]

Who cares if he's not the most technical? Everything he does works for the song..

[overcontrol]

stupid drummer

[noconflictbanana]

Fuck... He sits so low...

[C0DYMCALISTER]

I love how paul uses the hi hat like a ride sometimes.

[bnfdrummer808]

@THEGATHERING20...he's now playing the Regal Tip 1000 and FINALLY got rid of that goofy grip tape lol

[bnfdrummer808]

This is from Sounds of the Underground in Chicago 2006. Paul has changed his playing dramatically since then. He sits higher up, got rid of those big ol power toms and somebody correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he switch from Tama to DDrum as well?

[THEGATHERING20]

@bnfdrummer808 Correct, he now uses thinner sticks aswell for faster blast beats., he realises hes getting older and needs to uses lighter pedals and lighter sticks to still be able to play fast.

[ostfisk]

Paul IS cannibal corpse. Without him they wouldn't sound the same. Pat, Rob and Alex have much precision and tightness in their playing which of course is good but there's a lot of guitarists who have that as well. There's no other drummer who has that kinda powerful caveman style drumming that Paul has. It's not super tight, not super fast, it's raw and fucking powerful. He (and George) makes Cannibal Corpse sound so brutal. I wouldn't change him for no one.

[alexisreallyisonfire]

he sits so low and so far from his pedals i dont know how he plays like that

[Wint3rMetal]

@alexisreallyisonfire

In my opinion the way he sits does help a lot with ankle motion :P

[MrVsehNah]

This not boring. I like. High five!!!

This is fast like to play ping pong

[MrVsehNah]

This not boring. I like. High five!!!

[XDrUmErBoY512X]

he may not be the best, but he's inspired a FUCK TON of drummers.

[abhishekb24]

PAUL RULE !!!!! BEST METAL DRUMMER EVER!!! AND WHOSE SO EVER HATES HIM THEN FUCK OFF!!! \m/

[fuckingmaggot9]

really dont like him i really think hes not good no way

[thewhitezombie666]

his blasts could be better, but he has awsome fills and real groove on the slower parts

[xTroels]

Why should Paul learn to drum faster if he dont need to play faster? its like all saying Lars Ulrich sucks well he dosnt need to be playing any better cuz the drums fit Metallica. same here these drums are awesome for Cannibal Corpse fucking brutal if he played faster it would ruin the songs after my opnion (sorry for my bad english :S)

[CannibalizedUK]

Old school drummer! Respect.

[dcs2690]

@CannibalizedUK Respect!

[pharcydebug]

fuck, why does he sit so low? surely must be awkward

[oregonboy84]

dude I agree. He can barely see over the drum set.@pharcydebug

[Karvur]

@pharcydebug I sit the same way, it feels easier to do faster double bass drumming, at least, for someone like me and Paul Mazurkiewicz, it varies on the person really.

[ivegotahardy]

@pharcydebug because hes not a good drummer aha

[TheDrummingClown]

Dude Paul would destroy any drummer you put against him. His throne height was comfortable for him at the time, he doesn't sit so low anymore. He's in one of the most legendary metal bands of all time and his drumming was far ahead of his time. He's a super fucking nice guy in person too

[duckkkk1]

@pharcydebug yeah i met him in person after a show and he's like 6 foot, idk how he likes it so low

[KHfan4ever23]

@pharcydebug He sits much higher now.

[nomaddrunk]

@pharcydebug thats what I was thinking but im no drummer lol so idk

[ChetterNugget]

Is it me or are his bass drums fucking huge?

[noobpota2]

Holy shit did he used to be the most awkward looking drummer ever

[slmc777]

BLASTARD!! xD!

[ss188818]

3:21 holy fuck!!!!

[shipunchik]

хуйня

[Diavologic]

@shipunchik Ты сам никчёмная хуйня

[shipunchik]

@Diavologic твой троллинг уныл. вы -хуй 

[tairanokiyotsune]

terrible posture... I'm glad he took care of his health and changed it later on..

[GWAR696969]

No drum triggers here, Paul is a true death metal drummer!!!

[TheMetalOracle]

@BecauseIgothigh143 This is my main account.

[TheMetalOracle]

@BecauseIgothigh143 lol dude, of course I know, I've been drumming for three years, I've played in several bands, and I play in two Progressive Metal bands, in which I compose, both drums and a little of the other instruments. So I know what I'm talking about. And I appreciate many types of drumming.

[Layskrazy]

@BecauseIgothigh143 "He doesn't have groove, speed" I didn't say just speed, and for a death metal drummer, you're not fast or haven't got groove you're worthless. So shut the fuck up, you don't know shit about me. Asshole

[webbtje]

Fuck's sake, he can't even keep time properly. Ulrich of death metal.

[Layskrazy]

I'm a drummer. He is not even good. He doesn't have groove, speed, he's just a normal drummer

[SaabyHun97]

5 (or MIGHT more) disgusting motherfuckers are JB fans

[Zildjian83]

great job Paul

[gluv1]

cowah those are some fucking hench-ass big shells hes got there lol such a fucking pro drummer :) fuck technique its not always necessary.

[dethmagnet21]

amazing drummer bt it seems like he is sitting on the ground while hes drumin wich looks pretty cool

[catpooper565]

when i drum, viens pop out of my forehead

[Superchocolatedonut]

his whole fucking drumset is moving lol

[MrBlackincarnation]

Kickass drummer absolutely great

[StBarthelemy1572]

Check how low he is sitting omg! His knees are at the level of his belly.

[acid3z]

this drummer is to slow

[Rdub666]

he kinda look awkward when he plays but he is a Deathmetal Drum god!

[metalman404]

well im a drummer a death metal drummer and i think its better than normal drumming because i know all steps of drumming sorry im not a lame tip slow playing fag . get technical or go home

[mr666devildriver]

i thought ed was erectial disfunction.

[SaabyHun97]

Paul is the best drummer anyway :P :D

CC is fuckingly best :)

[TheTrueFortress]

Cannibal Corpse wouldn't be Cannibal Corpse without Paul. He has his own style and is solid as a rock. That latter attribute is invaluable to the non-drummer members of a group.

It is weird how low Paul sits, though, yeah. One would think it to be an uncomfortable and unusually taxing position. But obviously it works for him. Can't argue with success.

I get tired of people bitching about how much better CC would be with another drummer. As said, Paul's playing is perfect in the band.

[Beamontify]

@TheTrueFortress

Totally Agreed, This man is the most humble drummer. Chosed not to be much technical with solid sound !

No one can replace him for sure.

[theworldisabaddon]

He is so brutal :D

[renshammar]

I'd be exhausted by sitting like that...he must have some real fucking strength.

[diegomifits666]

Wow big fucking drum set!

[99siks10]

Damn he sits low as hell.

[battleatbosworth]

that kit looks sooo uncomfortable to sit behind...but hey if he likes it...

[enmity666]

those shorts are hilarious

[lucariololol]

lol i like how his drums are just like towering over him

[jesse17ful]

the drum set looks huge on Paul

[TrashMetal25]

cannibal corpse is death metal, not tech death, keep that in mind, paul is similar to the bolt thrower drummer (if you know who that is) it doesnt have to be like like 300bpm drumming, cannibal corpse is more about the guitar and vocals, and the drums dont overpower, but still have that heavy chug that makes it perfect for headbanging,

[xJMAN07x]

He sits so LOW wow lol.

[waylonbloodskull666]

god i can NOT drum like that!! hes SOOOO low lol, i sit high up i couldnt imagine sitting THAT low trying to do double bass XD

[MrAdlersson]

mas o menos...

[kirkmax99]

WOW..I'm surprised Paul as been playing this long and brutal without really injuring himself..He has really poor technique..and his set up is odd for a dude as tall as he is..It's like he's playing on a little guy's kit, i.e. Lars Ulrich.lol. Hey, it works for him!

[epiphoneylp]

Make Them Suffer?

[ERodriguez000]

Is it just me or is Paul using some FAT sticks?

[StIdes811]

beasty

[Coldful]

Paul rocks.

Simple.

[pnutskater96]

sit a little low to be comforable

[tamakit123]

that is so bad for ur back sitting like that but still a good drummer

[gordon16663]

This is a good way of learning how to play this song Long live DEATH METAL DRUMMiNG!!!!!!!

[screaming4silence325]

is he using triggers or is a ghost hitting his left pedal at the end?

[piccolo549]

odd set up

[DiscoFunktikonikyte]

He sits really low :O.

[metsman411]

cousion your drumming rules

[Subject790]

I love the way Paul just beats the shit out of his drum kit.

[vio2112]

He's so Jewish. Gotta love it.

[ninjacobra]

Who said he wasn't that of a good drummer ? Fuck Him!

[LuKeG103]

he sits so weird but it works perfectly for him

[michaelz6366]

is it just me or is he sitting like really really low on the throne?

[dartthewarrior]

man he sits low!!

[1lazydrag]

PETE "COMMANDO" SANDOVAL !!!!!!

[CrypTobY]

huh i dont get it, the video fixes with the sound, but at 2:07 and 2:21and 3:31 all is correct except the double bass, i dont see what i hear, wtf is that? xD am i retarded? it looks like doesnt start right?! i know this band, and song for years and the drums of this song too actually..

[clottoyup]

@CrypTobY he's not doing double bass, his heal on the pedal is just making it rock back and forth, it seems extra springy, if you look at the end when he takes his foot of, its still going.

[CrypTobY]

@clottoyup

yeah i can see that but it still looks fuckin wierd :P

[crapheadalex]

his seats hella low lol.

[misfit12341]

his arms must get tired

[SuperBrictson]

man i want a drummer like him!!!!

[zgates]

He's practically sitting on the ground. Yikes.

[Brasil1980rob]

This is an awesome video. THANK YOU for posting! So rare that we get to see live drummer videos like this, especially from CC!

[Statanova666]

i'm from poland and ''mazurkiewicz'' this is polish surname.

[DevilKingGR]

i wonder if he can see the ppl!!!!

his toms are too high :P

anyway he rocks!!!!

[Tommybotham]

Paul is my favourite drummer. His blastbeats maybe slower, but you can feel the power behind them. He doesn't sit there wanking off the drums, hes a true drummer

[thispagesux]

@Tommybotham wanking off the drums......you mean he doesn't bother with creativity, interesting parts/fills or have any chops. im a big CC fan but lets be honest here. paul has had 30 years to work on his craft yet he remains one of the most basic, boring and uninteresting drummers of the genre. don't let you love for a band cloud your judgement. there are guys in their teens who absolutely destroy this guy. CC are awsome though!

[Tommybotham]

@thispagesux

To each their own but I disagree strongly. You only have to listen to his drumming on Necropedophile to understand that 'creativity' does not = success.

[aumenaducca]

I don't understand why people say he isn't technical.

Is it because he doesn't feel the need to hit cymbols every second to add cheapness?

Is it because his blasts actually have substance, instead of just seizuring his hand over the snare and relying on tiggers to pick up the slack?

Is it because he doesn't put in fills where they are not necessary?

Seems to me what some peple think of as "technical" drumming is merely throwing a fit behind the drums and relying heavily on triggers.

[drew3usa]

I think people do not think Paul is as technical as drummers such as Derek Roddy and George Kollias is because Paul's drumming generally works around a skank beat and bomb blast which are always the same tempo every time he does them. Not discrediting him, hes a sickdrummer! But I think he can do more than those two drum beats (he does I know but most of the time its just those two)

xo.

[blstjky1990]

FUCK THIS GUY IS LOW

SO LOW

so METAL!

[rickjames1117]

fukin beast

[DangerousDrummerDado]

And mm mm mm I want this Artstar!!!!!!!!

[DangerousDrummerDado]

Paul is amazing. I find his work on Butchered at birth album awesome. The others are a bit less awesome :)

And yes, he plays simple. So what? Go Paul!!!!

[oreomaggot]

damn he does play pretty close to the ground.

[Krig666]

simple drumming is not bad drumming. keep that in mind. know that this dude could probably kick the shit out of any modern metal drummer. choosing to not be technical for an overall better song is mature drumming. obviously, none of you leaving comments here are drummers, because if you were you'd be a fool.

[gamegodone1]

@Krig666 "Probably"??? he owns all

[Krig666]

@gamegodone1 you're stupid.

[Blackdrumer93]

@Krig666 im a drummer and i completly agree with u

[tamakit123]

u prove a good point with everything =] but the modern metal drummers really stepped it up im not saying this guy is bad but check out other drummers in bands such as bleeding through serpents rise all that remains etc they speed and technique really got pushed through out the years and iof u have any bands for me to check out that would be good =] stay metal!!

[TTKIN]

@Krig666 I think it also has to do with he doesnt want to defer too much away from the cannibal corpse style. In my personal opinion, the guitar techniques of cannibal corpse have changed a lot from 15 years ago til now, and he sticks with his same style.  Like you said he could proly outdrum anyone simply cuz hes been doing it so long, but he sticks with the same techniques and whatnot, I think that really helps their songs so much

[MorganvanHelsing]

@Krig666 This is ridiculous. Just because he has been around for many years, it doesnt mean that he can "kick the shit out of any modern metal drummer". I guess you do not know any good modern metal drummer because otherwise you'd be a fool stating this. Check out Romain Goulon, Derek Roddy, Kai Hahto, Tim Yeung or even younger ones like Samus, Krimh etc. The truth is, that the tree grows higher than its roots. And just for you to notice: Yes, I am a drummer myself.

[xImpendingChapelxAAF]

not too tech, but damn fucken good and clean! paul is the shit!

[Steve19891]

that was insane, i didnt think he was that good

[somethingsexual665]

he has such a weird drum set up, he may not be the best but he was one of the first, my respect gos to him

[panterarule1306]

John Goss, what a legend!

[AQganon]

HOLY SHIT. I love paul. He isnt the best drummer ever, but his influence on death metal drumming is definitely high!

[jordisonrulz15]

He can't blast with his left hand but he's still a very solid drummer though.

[morbidal]

agreed. the great thing about Mazurkiewicz is, he isnt techinal, he is just about solid drumming. The guy is like a Hammer, he's there soley to do the job that needs to be done for the song/band. The Backbone of Cannibal

[caneyelive]

Seems like he sits really close to the ground. He must be a giant. Amazingly played though. Holy shit.

[TheSacrileger]

great video. comparing to nowadays drummers Paul has its own style and that is what counts when it comes to drummers. its not about being fastest on earth, its about being original and not just copying Jordison, Roddy or Kollias.

[perrostupido]

This is old school drumming! Great!

[TheDrummingClown]

He may not be the most technical drummer in death metal, but he is DEFINITELY one of the best.

[Corpseo27]

thanks a lot for uploading!!

[forklift77]

he sits so low!
