Samus Paulicelli ( ex - Abigail Williams )

[EvilJ67]

What song is this?

[shanexdrums]

Yup, definitely 300 bpm. If it was 150bpm it would be close to impossible for anyone to play faster than 200 bpm. And as previously stated, it would be impossible to write this song out at 150 bpm, it would be way too many 32nd notes, which is inefficient.

[akhabh1]

Chris Adler, Dave Lombardo, Lars Ulrich and Joey Jordison must have hit dislike button....for SAMUS is soon gonna run them out of business...

[blahdefa]

Dear Samus Paulicelli,

I found a spider and named it after you. A short while later it got eaten by another spider. I then changed the first spider's name to Travis Barker, and the more badass one is now named after you instead :)

Love,

A creepy viewer

[66Samus]

@blahdefa hahahahahaha you are awesome!!!

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

@AnthonyAvonDE That could be got with a greg voelker rack..It takes the inverted stand idea to a whole new level

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

@AnthonyAvonDE Because it looks badass :D

[tbcslayer]

what a beast!!.

[bobwhang]

2:43 is the best shit ever...

[heyidkwhatever]

his toms sound like they're tuned too low. they almost don't even have a tone. great vid though

[darknessdeath12]

I don't know what happened with Abigail Williams, but it shouldn't have happened. No disrespect intended, but I preferred him in AW. He's still an amazing drummer though. :)

[TheRagathor]

DUDE!!!!! Can we jam sometime????

[footplant]

Tempo is 150 thank you

[autopsiante]

Please, can anybody tell me the diference between Iron Cobra pedals (power glide) and Axis pedals?? I mean... one of them is better than the each other or what??

[LordBlastKrieg]

@autopsiante axis is direct drive, makes playing at high speeds more durable and exact, however they feel increibly different to other pedals, cobra pedals would be more suited to mid range and slow groovier beats.

[Mattelliott1234]

met this guy in like 2008, he was wasted just standing around on his own cus I think he'd literally only just joined abigail so I had a chat with him haha

[thegreathambone]

Great Guy, Great Drummer.

[dw9071]

axis axis axis

e-kit e-kit e-kit

[Bostonbird733]

ya i was wondering when the tempo was 300 bpm

[beast6138]

3 people are willing to take a pucnh in the nose by this guy... cuz they Obviuosly dont have a clur what tallent is or means...

[BlackMetalDan]

he looks like frost from satyricon when he drums... badass for sure

[BlackMetalDan]

fuckin gnar haha watched this 5 times now

[eliminatorus]

this song is coming out on Eliminator's new album "The One They Were Waiting For" in February 2011. check out eliminatorus on youtube for details.

[justinoakley999]

2:07 WHO THE FUCK FARTED!!!

[Zamundasux]

OMGO OMG OMG OMGOMOG this is not human

[MrAngelofd3eath]

epic ^^

[drumcovers15]

this is 300 bpm, but i prefer george kollias 270 bpm :D

[Metalmetalland]

triggers=shit sound

[nttad]

I love your wrist work so powerful and fast!

[LestatHalloween]

@nttad That's what she said

[TYLERBECKER94]

I am digging Eliminator, I did not realize he was in that band

[BigAlBore3591]

Why does is matter if he looks strained out??? He's playing perfectly.

[holman26]

what is the song

[eliminatorus]

@holman26 "Atish" from Eliminator's upcoming album "The One They Were Waiting For." Check out eliminatorus on myspace for details.

[PacoHellhammer666]

@eliminatorus Bien echo carnales!!! su cd Breaking The Wheel es de lo mejor que a escuchado en mi puta vida aunque me decepcionaron con esa mierda llamada Amor Fati y Near Dark. Pero con este video compruebo que no se vendieron y seguirán siendo los thrashers que nos gusta a todos.

¡¡¡Saludos desde México!!!

[tamakit123]

samus do u feel relaxed when u play?

[SUCKIT69231]

dude is this song out yet? its fucking dope

[finalhourr]

he's such a nice dood!

[deathdealer1972]

Holy shit ....Samus you fucking kick sum serious ass

[xImpendingChapelxAAF]

this guy fuckin rips it!

[atrbdm9]

He may not be playing fully at 300bpm, but the tempo of the song is 300 bpm.

Look up "300 bpm downpicking" that's the guitarist playing a part of this song at 300 bpm

[sexygurltoni20]

Samus is amazing!!!! I love him!!! :))

[DagonMetalMusic]

Tempo is 300bpm? He's playing in 8th note triplets then... This is defiantly not 16th, well, the skanks are like 150 at 16ths tho. I may be wrong though...

[Anthony111709Hbb]

what song is this?

[lolx3lawlroflmao]

fuckin amazing

[aralopez89]

2:07 lol

[Anthony111709Hbb]

is this song available for download?

Sick drummer btw

he was fit better with AW tho

[JTelli786]

he left? still a good drumer

[boilingbubbles]

whoa...he only has two more cymbals than me...

[mikeisa42]

amazing...drumming raised beyond artform-more like possession

[swiftus1234]

what happend to Abigail Samus?

[2ra0bid9]

he quit because they were always fighting about stuff and they always some retarted shit that giving them problems so he left... read on the interview

[JoeyJordison12328]

2ra0bid9 im not sure about that but i know it was something about samus paying bills

[cripplefriday]

one of the most impressive drummers i've seen in a long while.

[Rukazor]

Tempo isn't 300 bpm, its 150. To quote Gene Hoglan on the subject of tempos: "Quit padding your numbers you pansies!"

Regardless, amazing playing, love the style and the drum sound. Keep it up!

[ThaDeeStylee]

@Rukazor True... but the tempo of the double bass rolls is. 32nds at 150.

[FPMB]

@ThaDeeStylee

It's triplet 16ths at 150 man, not 32nds :) only a handfull of guys in the world could play straight 16ths at 300, and they all use doubles strokes (heel toe etc), samus uses single strokes.

[atrbdm9]

@FPMB

His double bass gets up to 225 in this....

[atrbdm9]

@atrbdm9 watch around 1:20

That's 3/4 300 BPM, which is 225 BPM

He also plays at that speed other times during the video.

[FPMB]

@atrbdm9

Ok? Well 225 is the straight equivalent to 150 16th trips so I don't know what you're arguing with me here? You're just putting a different name on it. It's just in this video he's using a click of 300 (or 150) so he IS playing in triplets.

[Centuriadrummer]

@Rukazor Tempo is not subjective my friend... sundivisions are, if he says tempo is at 300 bpm's it's because he was recording on a metronome set with quarter notes at that speed, there would be the same amount of "clicks" if you set the metronome to play in 8th notes at 150 bpm's, but as the pulse in general doesn't feel too fast, yes... it feels like 150 bpm's, for example: at 01:06, but as I said, maybe he was recording at 300 bpm's cause some times it's easier that way...

[66Samus]

@Rukazor I know I'm a little late in responding to this, but YES IT IS 300bpm! I don't care what Gene Hoglan says. Yes I could have recorded it at 150 but its way easier at 300 since there are twice as many clicks and it easier to stay in time.

[shredyourfaceoff42]

@66Samus Just be more specific then, its 300bpm, but not to the quarter note. Either way, impressive drumming sir.

[WGSen]

@Rukazor if the tempo is 150 there must be a billion 16th and even 32nd notes on the page and that's too much to fuckin write.

[gonzotheblithe]

\m/O_O\m/

[WithFullDistortion]

top class drummer

HAILS

[Aldostl]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aldrichp]

Horns for you my brother that was fucking awesome drum composition.

[Bankotsu897]

so samus is in eliminator now.

[zmanbrody]

he told me its just a side project with him and another guy

[joblolafrojosh]

OmG 2:30...WTF!!!!

thumbs up!!!

[JacksonRR1usa]

This kinda sounds like a mix of Old school Morbid angel, and Exodus.

Awsome 5 Stars!!!

[brasil0]

@JacksonRR1usa and both really good bands

[nicksantana93]

what song is this?

[Visurit]

@nicksantana93

atish, its in pre-production.

[CommancheDoyle]

Atish, it says it in the vid description =P

[TheHeadHunter824]

Master !!! My new favorite DM drummer

[pepperbox5]

WHOA! This is a really good song... in my OPINION. It has a really frantic feel to it, reminds of "The Eruption" from Emperor. And I personally like the more extreme aggressive tone in the vocals for being thrash if I'm not mistaken. Can't wait to get this.

[atrbdm9]

For those of you saying the speed isn't fast enough, look at how much power he's using. It takes a lot of endurance to do that.

[XxD1sturbedxX]

This dude knows how to play

[aphat]

I hate the rain on anyone's parade, but... Well, this song bored me. Don't get me wrong. This guy is DEFINITELY deserving of being called a Sick Drummer. But I'm sorry. This song was boring to me.

[bon2bonn]

Yeah he is not being used to his full ability. He was in Abigail he isn't now and the song is boring.

[byLivio]

Looks like you are working out,not playing drums...

[sickdrummerdotcom]

Livio - He actually looks pretty relaxed to me... ? what do you mean by that?

[MetalDrummer09]

i think he means hes putting alot of power into the strokes

[tamakit123]

@sickdrummerdotcom im sorry he doesnt look relaxed in the beginning he looks like he is strainging himself and why is he an "ex drummer" now :/

[danieljordison0793]

@tamakit123 he's not an "ex drummer" hes just not in the same band as before

its different

[assassin1161]

@sickdrummerdotcom Must of thought from facial expressions.

Samus gets into his drumming. Like all drummers should.

[timmwjr]

@sickdrummerdotcom I think hes refering to his emotion, samus actually lets you see that he feels the music unlike some

[Beholder505]

@byLivio Just because someone plays fast, intense music doesn't mean it's a sport. There's just as much feeling in this as there is in some jazz, blues, or rock drumming. Common misconception.

[RottingChristbr]

@byLivio Dont hate faggot.

[ManuelCollinsBarud]

WOW :)

[JleeD3]

holy balls. i thought 300 bpm was a myth!

[Telefonsladd]

Hes never hitting as fast as 300 bpm ever in the video... see watch?v=P0W59Z4aqb4

Thats 300 bpm

[Telefonsladd]

frogbeergolfgolf, i replied to JleeD3's comment :)

[frogbeergolfgolf]

@Telefonsladd

Then you are wrong haha.

[Telefonsladd]

No U

[frogbeergolfgolf]

@Telefonsladd

Its clearly 300bpm..

[mookiexrc]

what band is this, why are those people saying samus aint with abigail no more

[atrbdm9]

Eliminator, it says in the description...

[DrumsOfTheMetal]

The mega-bell ride is awesome.

5:08 is epic

[JonHz1]

Nomore abigail williams? Good they are fucken whack! They don't deserve your drumming.......hahahaha common everybody kill me now...lol

[KiddieFun]

samus you are awesome we will follow you wherever you go whatever band you are in..... so who is going to snap you up?

[DreamTheater4life]

no! =( i'm seeing them on tour with Nile in february and i was so excited to see Samus =(

[21sabiandrummer67]

AW is playing with Nile, dammit that ruins it for me.

[Frunzbob]

What.... you know that Abigail Williams is a band and they do not play for nile.

also Samus Paulicelli isnt playing for nile

i hope i didnt understood you wrong

[21sabiandrummer67]

yeah i know that, i just think they are nowhere close to being good for a nile show. Im looking forward to chillin with George after the show.

[Frunzbob]

ah, ok

[Xenbiosis]

Tell that to Suicide Silence. They toured with Nile last year. Worst band ever.

[21sabiandrummer67]

lmfao, i wanted to go so bad, and then my friend told me that Suicide Silence was playing too and I was like Fuck.

[rockambassadorr]

i fucking agree, that killed it. going to see nile and seeing a cluster of scenesters. then having a third of the crowd leave after SS were done.

[lolx3lawlroflmao]

@Xenbiosis

have tolerance for all music. EXCEPT SCREAMO. that is all.

[TocsDK]

@Xenbiosis You mean Suicide Silence right? Coz Nile kicks ass!

[doublebassrox]

@Xenbiosis how the shit does suicide silence even....

[69stringibanez]

@Xenbiosis Dude I hope you didn't insult Nile

[assassin1161]

@Xenbiosis UNLUCKY! hahaha

[deathmetalben]

@Xenbiosis Are you saying niles bad or suicide? i think NILE is one of the greatest death metal bands of today.. suicide silence is to death core

[ReeceRAWR]

hes not in AW anymore?

wont be going to see them in 2 weeks then lol

[vanishinglight666]

why did this guy leave abigail williams?

[TobbeDrum]

300 bpm ??? damn

[Sandemose]

Man, how far has the development gone by now? Its like millions of drummers around the world at this level (I only see this as a good thing, Im not taking credit from this guy, he is great!) but I start to wonder...whats gonna happen next? Will people start dying just from listening soon? :)

Best, Sandemose

[DruixXx]

Exactly that's what I am waiting for. An intelligent & pertinent observation indeed.............What next???

[syke84]

I know. even i wonder what's gonna happen next. once rock n' roll used to be called extreme. that time people never though that it could go this far. So if its extreme now what the next extreme after 20 year???? I can't even think of anything

what the will have 4 legs and 4 hands :p

for this guy... nothing to say simply \m/

[billnoceros]

who knows? maybe in the future really slow shit will be applauded (just a thought, don;t kill me!)

[SinisterSkip]

awesome man :)

[XsdrumX]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

[blackpoopshadowfear]

What happened with abigail? Whos the replacement Drummer?

[josedistant]

Holy Shit

[sigmar555]

[NZDaemon]

[sickdrummerdotcom]

[Paintballdrumz]

[sickdrummerdotcom]

we just posted an interview answering that question on the Sick Drummer Magazine site

[NightmareRitual]

EX-Abigail Williams? When did that happen?

[AbigorHellKnight]

Brutal, es rapido en el doble pedal, buen groove, buenos tiempos, bateria bien afinada, en conclusión un buen solo de bateria. \m/

[Alisterbmx]

from 5:03 - AWESOME!! anyone know what the song is called ?

[dejonge]

Song title is in the description lol.

[arconda666]

Complients! nice song!

[jawb4acowboy]

badass... but abigail williams was sick as fuck lol

[HollywoodJake13]

this is pretty sic dude!!!!!!!!

[thugginmuffin]

pretty intense

[21sabiandrummer67]

doesnt sound like 300bpm

[rx7rb26kid]

sounds like 240 to me

[21sabiandrummer67]

thats what I was thinking.

[SlavesOfNil]

You could technically say it's 300bpm, but all the fast fills/blast/db parts are triplets which would be at a tempo equivalent to 200 bpm.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. BRUTAL!!!!!

[brianfulcher]

dude 66samus isnt in abigail williams anymore??? wtf.

[yamanick92]

this is pretty nice.

[mateoarv]

Brutal
