Hearing Paul play actual tracks like March into Fire and Killing fields was a genius idea by whoever made this video. I'm sure most of his long time fans really dug that. I know I did. 🤘💀🤘
Pauls drum tracks always sound so good, very skilled playa right there , tbf all the drum gods in slayer are jaw dropping talents ,but I always have a soft spot for the Bostaph skin pummelling on Divine Intervention
This is such good content. Baffles me how more companies don't do it. Industry and musical legends all coming together to talk about classic albums, recording history, and technical stuff, all while in a chill environment, having a laugh. This is PEAK morning coffee material. And yes, it DOES make me plan on buying your shit! Because it sounds great and shows you have good company culture. Same as Drum centre of portsmouth videos. Please keep it going, we need chad smith, gavin harrison, dave grohl, the works!!
It's a custom hybrid , Burch but I forget the other wood , it's something exotic , the video of him getting the kit was on RUclips and he goes into what wood it's made of , I think it's still up .
Forbiddens Twisted into form was his smartest drumming To date. His other stuff is still awesome but something about Twisted Into Form was so well done. That whole album is so good.
there's a 3/4 part in Out Of Body (Out Of Mind) where he alternates between two closed hihats on either side of the stereo spectrum. havent heard that on any other metal record. unreal little detail
I met Paul after the Exodus show at jackrabbits in jville FL in 2005 I think. Right before their European tour. Great guy. We were playing there a couple weeks later. Still one of the most intense shows I've ever seen. Those guys were tight. Now they death day come is still one of my favorite songs
Paul was always a favourite, not an easy pair of shoes to fill, but he did it. Divine intervention intro drum fill, I mean, that’s some serious « announcing one’s arrival »
That's the exact sounded I strove for at ( 3:49) when I heard Divine Intervention at 18...in 1994. I had never heard a snare POP like that, with an open sound!! Still amazing.
damn it. these are so good and I'm listening to it with my drum kit just sitting behind me and I can feel it scowling at me because I dont play it enough. Love this series.
If it isn't Dave on the kit for Slayer, it's gotta be Paul. Love both drummers. They both brought something special to the table. God Hates Us All and Divine Intervention are BRUTAL albums! Can't forget about what he did in Exodus and Testament! 🤘🏻
Um dos maiores Bateristas que já ouvi ! Paul Bostaph é um gigante, tem uma técnica diferenciada, uma habilidade fantástica e uma velocidade fora d comum !
If I'm not mistaken, that bell brass Tama snare was also used by Lars on the Black Album, too. When Ross passes, that drum should be in the Smithsonian.
I spy a new Yamaha hi hat stand! You guys have me sold on these mics. Trying to figure out what to buy next for upgrades and these are just something else. More metal drummers please!
dam it, that hostory about the piccolo snare was awsome, and @OfficialPaulBostaph almost everybody knows him by his work at Slayer, but he has done a great albums with #testament or #exodus or his original band #forbidden just a great drummer songs that he proves his skills there's a lot but just an amazing musician ... cheers Paul Bostaph
He's so underrated and he's a very nice guy. I hope he has made some money with Slayer's final tour. Because now that they're not selling many records anymore, playing and selling some merchandise was the only way to make some money. I don't worry about King or Araya, they earned enough. But Paul was a side player in Slayer and he should have at least earned some money to live a decent life.
His style and sound is amazing! Albums like "Divine Intervention", "God Hates Us All" or "Shovel Headed K*ll Machine" has some of the most brilliant drumlines in Thrash
Jeeez...thats the shoutiest barky little snare drum I've ever seen 😂 . My old drummer used a picolo . It was pretty sweet. Really controlled and tight. I liked it a lot over bigger "boxier" sounding snares.
Paul's shiny mirrored finished Tama kit he used during the Divine era 94-95, the kit you can see him playing on during Live Intrusion concert, is my favorite kit he has ever played on. I love those Tama bell brass piccolo snares.. Dave Lombardo also used one with his live touring drum set during the Seasons in the Abyss era before he left in 92. For Paul's situation I always found it funny that he was in the mindset of using a piccolo snare for fast attacking hits that cut through and to allow him to play faster snare rolls that cut through the slayer sound, but he used big, monstrous power toms which imo are not good for playing fast drum fills with fast attacking hits that cut through the mix. They're more boomy and deep sounding which wouldnt cut through as good as shallow tom dimensions. Dudes like Paul, Lombardo, and Lars Ulrich were using 15x15 rack toms. Thats insane and bigger than my floor tom lol. Visually it looked funny seeing a tiny piccolo with big power toms.
Favorite Slayer song with Paul is God Send Death, he drives the songs intensity like Dave. It's not about technical difficulty, it is how it enhances the music!
I was a fan of Bostaph's drumming right away, because I didn't try to compare him to Dave, who I love. I liked his sound, and he's humble as hell. That goes a long way with me. We all know the shoes he had to fill, and he has done great!!!! Really yhink Kerry King would have had him on his new solo album if he didn't think he was great?
THE TERMINATOR : i heard a while back that it was on loan to nirvana during nevermind recording for 1000 bucks a day, from this drum doctor guy (now here he is !).Would like to know too if it was really called the terminator since i never heard it again anywhere.But that snare is very rare.
I love is take on the snare sound for the type of metal that metal drummers want. If it is a big fat sounding snare, it's good for hard rock and 80's metal. In my taste, thrash, speed, fast or death metal, the high pitch snare like a piccolo is the better choice because it cuts through. It doesn't get lost in the drum rolls, skank or blast beats.
Wow, I think that picollo bell brass with the tama brass hoops must be super rare. I might be mistaken, but there is significantly less of those around than the 6.5
One day I'll show my son these videos and then it'll all make sense why I named him Tama Bell Brass
😂🤣
😂epic
Haha, no it won't!
😂😂😂
hahahahaa
Paul's drumming on Divine Intervention is superb. Great example of extreme metal drumming!
Hearing Paul play actual tracks like March into Fire and Killing fields was a genius idea by whoever made this video. I'm sure most of his long time fans really dug that. I know I did.
🤘💀🤘
Love this series.
Please continue to make.more. 👊
Will do!😊
I remember seeing Paul play with a broker arm when he was in forbidden,we also talked drums after the show.Super cool dude!
Paul is awesome, I got into Slayer with Divine intervention. Great opportunity to listen to his drumming isolated.
Pauls drum tracks always sound so good, very skilled playa right there , tbf all the drum gods in slayer are jaw dropping talents ,but I always have a soft spot for the Bostaph skin pummelling on Divine Intervention
Same here. That album was my intro to Slayer and Dittohead scarred me for life, lol. 🤟🏼
Divine Intervention was my high school soundtrack
Slayer 13 times live. ❤❤🏴
Happy Birthday Paul Steven Bostaphborn March 4th 1964,Newark,USA,Great drummer for FORBIDDEN,SLAYER,EXODUS and TESTAMENT.
... and Kerry King Quintet! ... not sure why you know and doxing his birthday though
Hearing Paul mention Undisputed Attitude was my favorite part of this! My first time hearing Paul with Slayer and I loved it immediately.
Gemini is the best Slayer song they ever released
That album is banger. So relentless, then ends with Gemini. One of their best sounding records, too.
This SNARE series is great, hope there are more episodes coming.
*Slayer* • Killing Fields
*Forbidden* • March Into Fire
*Exodus* • Now Thy Death Day Come
Right on man, thanks for the info. Hellyeah!!
Testament • More Than Meets The Eye
Paul's style brought a new dimension to any band he's in, he has such a unique style you instantly know it is him behind the kit.
Divinen intervention, Formation of damnation and shovel headed kill machine are absolute masterpieces on the drums. My holy trinity of bostaph lol
I love Paul's playing. He's not a soloist per se, but that does make him stand out more imo. He knows what a song needs!
I agree completely!!!!
He shreds that’s all there need to be known
great video, The sound of Slayer-Divine Intervention it´s amazing. Paul rules !!!

🙏❤❤❤ we are so glad you enjoyed it
That kick sound is incredible. It's like machine gun pillows
Anyone know what model that Kick/Kit was? Recording Customs maybe?
@@jamescassidy4045 They could be. Can't tell for sure. Maybe the Oak Hybrid?
@@MdhLV Yea, it's kinda hard to tell I guess since he has the Slayer Logo's also. I was thinking Recording Custom just by the lugs, but who knows hah!
It's a custom hybrid , Burch but I forget the other wood , it's something exotic , the video of him getting the kit was on RUclips and he goes into what wood it's made of , I think it's still up .
love that description lol
Forbiddens Twisted into form was his smartest drumming To date. His other stuff is still awesome but something about Twisted Into Form was so well done. That whole album is so good.

This album is sick man!
All the recordings in these videos are stunning.
Now thy death day come!!!! Love Bostaph!!!!!
I met Paul after the Exodus show at jackrabbits in jville FL in 2005 I think. Right before their European tour. Great guy. We were playing there a couple weeks later. Still one of the most intense shows I've ever seen. Those guys were tight. Now they death day come is still one of my favorite songs
Pure gold. This videos are sth. else. Forget about it!
Paul was always a favourite, not an easy pair of shoes to fill, but he did it. Divine intervention intro drum fill, I mean, that’s some serious « announcing one’s arrival »
When a journalist mentioned to Araya that Bostaph had big shoes to fill, Tom answered by saying ‘they’re a tight fit’
One of all time favourite musicians and humans!
Have mercy those drums sound amazing.
This is so awesome. Bostaph is one of the best. The Divine Intention album was my intro Bostaph and I've been a fan since.
That's the exact sounded I strove for at ( 3:49) when I heard Divine Intervention at 18...in 1994. I had never heard a snare POP like that, with an open sound!! Still amazing.
More documentary like this please! So great.
A breath of fresh air, hearing actual acoustic drums without triggers and sound replacement.
damn it. these are so good and I'm listening to it with my drum kit just sitting behind me and I can feel it scowling at me because I dont play it enough.
Love this series.
Lovely sounding snares Paul's a rippa love his style and gotta love the Creature love Skate or Drum for life.......
Always loved paul’s playing, kick ass job dudes!!!!
What an amazing idea for a video series. I just stumbled across this in my feed. Gonna watch all of them.
This series is gold. Keep up the great work!!
We are so glad you like it 🙏
The insane response on that snare literal perfection
These are fantastic
If it isn't Dave on the kit for Slayer, it's gotta be Paul. Love both drummers. They both brought something special to the table. God Hates Us All and Divine Intervention are BRUTAL albums! Can't forget about what he did in Exodus and Testament! 🤘🏻
This series is just awesome. Thank you for doing this. 🙏
We are so glad you enjoy it!
Paul is a great! Drummer. 1 of many of my favorites. 🤘🏼
I miss Slayer🥺 My favourite band since 1986
I will forever wonder how much better Divine Intervention would have been with the Undisputed Attitude production
2nd that!
Those cymbals sound so musical
I love this series! Don't ever stop making these videos, please!
More to come!
Um dos maiores Bateristas que já ouvi ! Paul Bostaph é um gigante, tem uma técnica diferenciada, uma habilidade fantástica e uma velocidade fora d comum !
Man the Tama snare love it its real snappy🤘🏾
If I'm not mistaken, that bell brass Tama snare was also used by Lars on the Black Album, too. When Ross passes, that drum should be in the Smithsonian.
This was absolutely sick!
that first snare drum sounds really great!
I spy a new Yamaha hi hat stand! You guys have me sold on these mics. Trying to figure out what to buy next for upgrades and these are just something else. More metal drummers please!
Yeaaaaaaah I saw that too! It has the same color scheme as the FP-9. I hope Yamaha will put a sturdy baseplate on those, I might get one.
I love this series! Please keep it up!!!
We are so glad 😊 And will do!
I love the drum sound on the album Divine Intervention 🔥
Big fan of Paul Bostaph and Dave Lombardo, both amazing drummers. Divine Intervention is a great album. Good video.
This sounds absolutely insane
The level of noise is insane too 3:41
Amazing.
Great series ! Thank you !
Mr Paul Bostaph ladies and gentleman !
I always mention Paul Bostaph when best drummers come up
Lombardo
To this day, I use the Killing Fields intro for the alarm clock on my phone. Nothing like waking up to some fucking Slayer
Paul bostaph is so amazing❤
dam it, that hostory about the piccolo snare was awsome, and @OfficialPaulBostaph almost everybody knows him by his work at Slayer, but he has done a great albums with #testament or #exodus or his original band #forbidden just a great drummer songs that he proves his skills there's a lot but just an amazing musician ... cheers Paul Bostaph

Gotta love these « behind the scenes » type of vids.
His style and sound is amazing! Albums like "Divine Intervention", "God Hates Us All" or "Shovel Headed K*ll Machine" has some of the most brilliant drumlines in Thrash
I love Paul ❤
Now Thy Death Day Come @ 7:21. That song is badass. Shovel Headed Kill Machine is a sick album.
Awesomeness thanks love the videos. The content is magical. Thanks so much 😊
We are so glad you enjoy it!
I love this RUclips series keep it going! 3:28 🥁 hopefully I can make the cut one day. 🙏🏽
My first time hearing Forbidden Evil in 91...
Pauls drumming blew my mind.
A great talent to this day.
Thanks Paul
Jeeez...thats the shoutiest barky little snare drum I've ever seen 😂 . My old drummer used a picolo . It was pretty sweet. Really controlled and tight. I liked it a lot over bigger "boxier" sounding snares.

Was going to say that the Gretsch Maple was my favourite from these, then the 6.15 Brass one appears and I'm like, 'Yesssss!'
Waw..amajiiing 🔥
the whole kit sounds so balanced
awesome episode again! still waiting on that John Otto episode :)
Perhaps one day!
Nice!
Thanks
Cheer :)
This is great content.
Diabolus is Musica is my favourite Slayer album.
Nu metal
Favorite Slayer song with Paul is God Send Death, he drives the songs intensity like Dave. It's not about technical difficulty, it is how it enhances the music!
Респект я рос и изучал этот альбом и этого барабанщика🎉❤
Awsome intro
I remember the first time I heard it and thought yeh new drummer will be ok
Paul’s drumming in Testament is also excellent. Formation of Damnation has some amazing drum tracks.
👍 Have to agree 100% . Gene was a monster , but I honestly prefer Pauls Testament drumming !!!!
He's work with exodus is really sick too
Legend
Finally some love for the piccolo snare. Many wood pics are lower than u think too. Try a artstar maple ....32 yrs and still playin...
Great content man love from Taiwan 🇹🇼
straight to comments for the Lars Ulrich snare jokes, do not disappoint
Tama changed the game in 1980. The BB was an instant legend.
Newark California like wuuuuuut
Man played played for testament as well, kinda worth mentioning
I was a fan of Bostaph's drumming right away, because I didn't try to compare him to Dave, who I love. I liked his sound, and he's humble as hell. That goes a long way with me. We all know the shoes he had to fill, and he has done great!!!! Really yhink Kerry King would have had him on his new solo album if he didn't think he was great?
00:07 i'm turning around and around on that intro , duuuuude yeah
Creature skateboard t-shirt, Tama bell brass piccolo snare, we're in business :)
Really digging that black nickel drum rack.
I saw this guys with Slayer in 2018 and he played none stop and being nearly 60... my father with 60, sits his butt down none stop on the couch, LOL.
Um dos melhores do mundo paul bostaph
Paul in divine intervention was great..
THE TERMINATOR : i heard a while back that it was on loan to nirvana during nevermind recording for 1000 bucks a day, from this drum doctor guy (now here he is !).Would like to know too if it was really called the terminator since i never heard it again anywhere.But that snare is very rare.
It definitely wasn't $1000 a day back then. It's nickname is the Terminator.
So fucken cool
I love is take on the snare sound for the type of metal that metal drummers want. If it is a big fat sounding snare, it's good for hard rock and 80's metal.

Wow, I think that picollo bell brass with the tama brass hoops must be super rare. I might be mistaken, but there is significantly less of those around than the 6.5
LOVE this series. Last Days Of Humanity next? :D
Dittohead is my favourite Slayer song.
That is all.
Look it up. 🤘🏼
