The Ride...
Yesterday I got that phonecall that all photographers love…
“Mate…. can you do something for me?” ;p
By the time the voice on the other end of the line was half way through describing his request (Drum clinic at Allans152 Bourke st Melbourne!) I was saying yes!!
I got to spend the evening (we had some delicious Soy & Satay Beef) with an absolute gentlemen and one of the worlds most celebrated Extreme Metal drummers Gene Hoglan
Allow me to elaborate on Gene’s musical catalogue….
Bands such as Dark Angel
Death, Dark Angel, Slayer, Strapping Young Lad, Dethklok, Unearth and Zimmer’s Hole.
Check out his myspace page to listen to his music, I guarantee you will be blown away!
Thank you to Vince Sanna and Rhythum UK Magazine.

Great work Paul

Very nice shot Paul – you can almost hear that sound bouncing off the cymbal…
Rosalie Dale IPA
You are the artist Paul – great shots.
mlgkats
those are all great bands , nice capture, the movement on the sick and hand yet the clarity on the symbol , cool
Jessica Tremp
how cool also is that image, no .4…what a look captured
Kitsmumma
Fantastic, love the movement in this, great series.
cdwork
Great shot- Love the light and colour
JenniferB
well… that must be the hottest, sexiest, little cymbal I ever did see… it’s a little disturbing to think that a photograph of a red hot symbol could make me feel horny… but there you have it. ;-)
Mel Brackstone
Amazing shots, Paul!!! Love the red, makes the whole image come to life.

Matt Bottos
cool shot… this may sound silly but at first I thought it was an arty guitar shot.. the under side of the cymbal bell looked like a sound hole!!
