BIO

Samus Paulicelli (born September 14, 1987 Ridgewood, New Jersey) is a multi-instrumentalist who has been drumming since he was in diapers when his parents set up his first ‘pots and pans’ drum kit for him to start exploring the world of music.

The metal drumming powerhouse is known for his blistering speed, precision, and infectious humor. With years of experience behind the kit, he has carved a niche in the drumming world through his jaw-dropping performances, creative YouTube content, and dedication to teaching aspiring drummers.

Beyond his technical prowess, 66Samus combines humor and relatability to make drumming accessible for everyone, from beginners exploring double bass techniques to seasoned drummers expanding their styles into other genres.

Following his thirty-plus-year career, where he has toured and recorded with artists such as Devin Townsend, Samus has taken to the social media arena with the goal to inspire his viewers to experience the joy of music. 

Samus currently resides in Winnipeg where he shoots YouTube videos and performs live streams in his home studio.
