@@UsernotfoundProductions I saw them like I wrote back in 2016. But who knows maybe he had a bad night or he was getting worn out. Either way it was a fun night for me with some good memories!!
I imagine it's quite a feat to play Slayer songs on drums at 55 years of age, it's not just a technically complex musical skill, it's an ATHLETIC FEAT, especially at 55.
You can say what you want for me Paul Bostaph is a Master of drums. He is very tecnique and powerful, I really love his way of playing. Dave Lombardo was great of course but also Paul is a great drummer and much more tecnical. Of course with age things are not the same but critcize his way of playing his wrong.
Paul much more technical? He can't even play double bass. It's so sloppy and weak. It's been that way for a long time, unfortunately. Dave's 57 years old. Go listen to his performances with Testament. His footwork is still solid and powerful, not to mention his fancy, dynamic handwork. No disrespect to Paul, I love his work on Divine. Perhaps you like that style better but overall as a musician and a live performer, he was never on Dave's level in regards to double bass, groove, dynamics, time-keeping, speed and consistency. Paul could never play Dave's complex drum fills (e.g. Ghost of War, Necrophiliac, Seasons etc.). Check out his work in Grip Inc. I'm not saying this to bag on Paul, I'm saying this as a pro level drummer myself who can play about 3 albums worth of Slayer note-for-note. Here's Dave outplaying Paul on Disciple ruclips.net/video/Vw8ItX7J-3Y/видео.html
@@Vorgaloth I also love Dave of course, he is the original drummer of Slayer, he is the master, but I also love Paul. Paul also had surgery on his right wrist if I remember well.
I agree with the sentiment of him being more technical. One only has to watch Dave play outside of slayer, and outside of thrash metal. He has chops for days. His background demands it. As for Paul... I don't agree with him being that sloppy of a player. His work on Formation of Damnation was some of his best playing IMO. They are both exceptionally talented drummers.
punkagnaldo hc Lombardo set the standard on 10/07/86, when Slayer released “Reign in Blood”. He was way ahead of the pack and influenced many future drummers. Both are excellent drummers, just from different eras.
HARLEYS BAIXADA SANTISTA he was amazing in the nineties but he tore Slayers material to pieces since 2013, really lost his gift & double bass live was always a total mess. Amazing musician back in the day though. Divine.... is easily their best album in my opinion.
something wrong, looks like its painfull to play. I love this guy and all he recorded in Slayer, sounds sloppy. but i can't belive that its about technique, smth wrong here. Thnx mr Bostaph, i think youre the best Slayer drummer
Not trying to be rude or anything, but PB seems to always be struggling to get through these tracks, like he's on the edge of making huge mistakes or running out of steam at any moment, his playing is not flowing naturally?
I've been watching a lot of his videos and noticed something about his sitting position and what movements he is doing with his legs and it's no surprise to me why he is struggling, the technique he is using is called the "flat foot", which is used by moving your upper legs (hips), and keeping your lower muscles (calves/shins) pretty relaxed! this technique can work well on one condition : you have to sit pretty high in order to only push down the pedal and not lift your whole leg up, unfortunately because paul is sitting so low all the time, he is constantly trying to battle against the natural rebound of the pedal/spring and the weight of his own legs..., usually you only need to push down and relax, the rebound of the pedal helps you lift your leg and you can repeat the process, and because you sit higher it demands less efforts (check out drummers like Derek Roddy or Chris Turner who are using this technique) , when he was younger i have no doubt he could play that way and force through every show, but it only works for a couple of years and definitely works against your knees and back etc..
@@CultureShockGaming Very interesting, this is probably a huge reason for what's going on, he's sitting too low, looks like he has this habit since when he started playing drums and it was never corrected, actually just remembered reading about sports injuries to his knees long time ago, they say that once your knees go there's nothing you can do to bring them back, that's the reason mob guys used to shoot each other in the knees back in the old days
@@roneystapes Yes exactly, in Paul's case he should sit a bit higher and use the ankle motion (no upper leg, just the calves/shin muscles), that way you don't have to use your knees at all, you just lift your legs a little and start moving your foot alone, that's the technique i use and it's perfect to play songs like war ensemble or angel of death (200/210 bpm)
I have mad respect for any drummer that can play in Slayer but I've always thought Paul looks and sounds like he's struggling when he plays. He's just not a fluid relaxed drummer, and in my opinion he butchers all of Lombardo's parts.
Now he is 55 and for what is concern this video yes i agree but i saw slayer in 2001 back in the day and he was the best havy hard core drummer around.. God hates us all has a great drumming
I thought the same thing. I think his work on the album recordings is killer! Although live I've always noticed his double bass is off tempo at certain times. He tries to play too mechanical and it just isn't crisp and clean like Dave's live playing. With that said, I still think he's a great studio drummer.
@@mcg5167 It's just the Truth, and i am not even saying that as if it was a bad thing, it's all about the muscle groups and how you use them, in fact considering he got many injuries through sport practice back in the day, it's no surprise he struggles to play his parts correctly nowadays, building up double bass speed has all to do with muscle memory and surgery or injuries can really easily mess it up very fast and for the longer term ..! (trust me you can google plantar fascitis (injury i got from overworking double bass) and it sucks major ass to feel a constant pain while playing.. really has a bad effect on speed and endurance) Listening to divine intervention or his work with forbidden there's no doubt at some time he could use his shin and calve muscles just fine to play the fast parts, but now looking at this video, it's all full leg motion which is way more tiring,.. Which leads me to think his body does'nt really now anymore how to use each muscle groups at their best! He is probably trying to use his muscles all at once, and they might be acting against each others! Then again i Don't know any of his double bass settings, sitting height etc... Sometimes a few changes in settings or position can make a huge difference !
@@CultureShockGaming "It's just the Truth" - nope, it's your opinion. In my opinion you're wrong... "he struggles to play his parts correctly nowadays" - :-D In my opinion your opinion is just plain silly... :-D

Paul is an excellent drummer saw him with Slayer two years ago he rocked the house!!
Zax Drums yea I’ve seen Slayer 3 times live and I am seeing them again in May touring with Lamb of God and Anthrax
Deckard Shaw He's definitely excellent
i saw them on the last leg and he sounded like he just couldnt keep up with what the band was doing

This is my favourite drum kit I've ever seen Paul play, I'd love to own it.
Same. Everything is ergonomic about that setup
The power Paul generates on his tom fills is second to none.
Love those Power Toms, Killer Set!🤘🏻
Amazing Drummer
rosa maria Machado 🙏thx
soooooo good !
I love his power finesse ⭐️⭐️

Could you tell me what model is the battery that paul bostaph uses?
Please!!!!
I understood "battery" as drums fortunately.
He's using Yamaha Recording Customs.
wow
They still had alot in the tank,get back to it guys

Exactly! They are all amazing, they have all put so much impact into my drumming over the years. The haters are gonna hate of come across both sides😂
He was a beast in the 90s

Like clockman prefectly 😂atomic
Best drummer Slayer ever had
punkagnaldo hc Lombardo set the standard on 10/07/86, when Slayer released “Reign in Blood”. He was way ahead of the pack and influenced many future drummers. Both are excellent drummers, just from different eras.
Negative
Bostaph murdered Slayers material in his final stint in the band.
Aznarder Slaxxxer I think the band should re-record all of Lombardo's material with Bostaph as he brought more life and violence to the songs.
HARLEYS BAIXADA SANTISTA he was amazing in the nineties but he tore Slayers material to pieces since 2013, really lost his gift & double bass live was always a total mess. Amazing musician back in the day though. Divine.... is easily their best album in my opinion.

Thnx mr Bostaph, i think youre the best Slayer drummer
He was a very good thrash metal drummer up until about 10 or 20 years ago in the 90s he was up there with Hoglan and Lombardo
sounds like Payback
Not trying to be rude or anything, but PB seems to always be struggling to get through these tracks, like he's on the edge of making huge mistakes or running out of steam at any moment, his playing is not flowing naturally?
after 30 years of playing thrash metal I think is a normal thing
@@marklawless8829 Yeah guess you're right, this style of music is very demanding physically, you have to be in top shape to pull through a show
I've been watching a lot of his videos and noticed something about his sitting position and what movements he is doing with his legs and it's no surprise to me why he is struggling, the technique he is using is called the "flat foot", which is used by moving your upper legs (hips), and keeping your lower muscles (calves/shins) pretty relaxed!
this technique can work well on one condition :
you have to sit pretty high in order to only push down the pedal and not lift your whole leg up,
unfortunately because paul is sitting so low all the time, he is constantly trying to battle against the natural rebound of the pedal/spring and the weight of his own legs...,
usually you only need to push down and relax, the rebound of the pedal helps you lift your leg and you can repeat the process, and because you sit higher it demands less efforts (check out drummers like Derek Roddy or Chris Turner who are using this technique) , when he was younger i have no doubt he could play that way and force through every show, but it only works for a couple of years and definitely works against your knees and back etc..

You do know Paul did the drums for GHUA right?
Lombardo sure can't play this song like Paul can. Go figure, they play the parts they wrote better than the other guy can

Joseph Carino thx for subscribing.. I subbed to your channel 🤘
No feel what so ever. Sounds like a drum machine. Nothing on Lombardo.
His playing was terrible in his last stint with Slayer
he is getting old...
hellbound.music hellbound.drums But alas, Lombardo improves with age!
I saw SLAYER 3 times on their farewell tour & he did just fine
@@slayerbob213 Literally every bit of double bass work since he re-joined in 2013 is a mess.
sloppy

Would be glad to see you shit talkers post a video of yourselves showing how it's really done.
