Paul Bostaph is born on the 26th of March 1964 in Newark (in the so-called "Tri-City" area) California. He grows up in the Bay Areya, during the eighties well known for the many thrashmetal bands residing there.
Paul started playing drums in 1979. In an interview with Perfect Pitch Online (april 2003) he states to have detested high school:
"The thing about high school was, there was never anyone who would sit down with me and explain to me why I was learning what I was learning at the time. I felt I had enough to get me through every day life, why do I need more? So my mind always went to things I was interested in. I wasn't interested in history until after high school. Math bored the shit out of me, then I learned that drumming and music have a lot to do with mathematics, so I started thinking: 'Wow, maybe I should've taken more of an interest in mat'." Fortuantely for Paul he graduated from Newark Memorial High School. Before playing in metalband Forbidden, he jammed with a bunch of guys called Rick Cottingham, Ken Keeler and Eric Shmidt. They played at school and at garage parties. His first real gig was at the Old Keystone in Paloalto in 1985. Paul had a special knack for a drumkit before he really knew how to play them.
Paul learned to play drums mostly by listen to his heavy records, mostly Iron Maiden. He tried to pull off what Nicko did ........click for full story of Paul Bostaph
