"From the very first time I played with these sticks, I knew I had found a balance, tenacity, and power like never before. They respond to every dynamic, every strike, and every groove with precision and reliability. Whether in the studio or on stage, these sticks feel like an extension of my hands—effortless, powerful, and built to perform."
My name is Wolfgang Paul, and I’m 20 years old. I’ve been playing drums live professionally since I was 5, and I reside in the Chicagoland area. Music is my greatest passion, and I truly feel myself when I’m behind a drum set.Over the years, I’ve been blessed to share the stage with some of the biggest names in rock, including Warrant, Queensrÿche, Quiet Riot, Night Ranger, Stryper, FireHouse, Extreme, Dokken, Last In Line, Sebastian Bach, Ratt, Slaughter, Steelheart, Vixen, and many more. In the last few years, I’ve also taken trips to Nashville to perform at All-Star events featuring incredible musicians. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and perform with Billy Sheehan, Vinny Appice, Carmine Appice, Gregg Bissonette, Eric Martin, Paul Taylor, Jason Hartless, Jeremy Asbrock, Tyler Warren, Tyson Leslie, and more.
I currently perform with ARRA and Tom Sawyer – A Tribute to Rush. ARRA has been delivering the ultimate classic rock experience to Chicagoland audiences for over 36 years, making it one of the most enduring and celebrated classic rock tribute acts in the Midwest. Tom Sawyer is Chicago’s premier Rush tribute band, faithfully recreating the music of one of rock’s most legendary trios.I am proudly endorsed by Wornstar Clothing, Turkish Cymbals, Scorpion Percussion, and No Nuts Percussion. Being an artist for these companies is one of the greatest gifts of my career, and I am truly grateful for their support.No matter the project, I always give 100%. I strive to learn the material as close to the original as possible while bringing in my own style and flair to deliver a unique performance for every crowd.
