CANNIBAL CORPSE Drummer Isn't Bothered By Fans' Criticism Of His Playing Ability

March 8, 2017

Drumtalk, the video podcast by German drummer and videographer Philipp Koch, last year conducted an interview with CANNIBAL CORPSE drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. You can now watch the chat below.

Speaking about fans' criticism of his drumming ability, Paul said: "I've been dealing with that my whole career. It's one of those things you've just gotta… You can't let critics bother you. There's always gonna be people that are gonna be talking negative about you and what have you. And, yeah, I see what people may talk: 'Oh, yeah, Paul. If they had this drummer, how would they sound?' And I just let that all slide off my back, because here I am in the band twenty-eight years. We're doing something, obviously, that people enjoy. We're arguably the biggest death metal band in the world. And my drumming isn't about me; it's about the band. And if it's fitting what we do, that's all that matters. But, yeah, sure, it's always gonna be tough hearing negative stuff. You know, nobody likes that. We're human; people are human. But to move on, you have to forget the past. You can't let this stuff bother you. Otherwise, what's the point? Life's too short."

CANNIBAL CORPSE's latest album, "A Skeletal Domain", sold 8,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 32 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Torture", opened with 9,600 units to land at No. 38. This figure was in line with the first-week performance of 2009's "Evisceration Plague", which entered the chart at No. 66. CANNIBAL CORPSE's 2006 CD, "Kill", debuted at No. 170 after shifting more than 6,000 copies.
