Maciej Dzik: Pushing the bounds of creativity

Summary: Welcome back to another episode of the Drummers I Like Podcast! This week we are chatting with Polish drumming mastermind Maciej Dzik. Maciej is one of my personal drum hero's and a drummer that has done nothing but inspire me over the last 4 years or so from his first Disperve live drum play through to his recent work with shredder Owane P. Maciej really brings a lot to the table from a persuasive style to some ridiculous fluid and powerful chops he really fits the ticket for an extremely talented prog metal drummer with jazz influence and training.<br> <br> <br> <br> About our guest:<br> <br> As I sit here I am finding a ton of trouble writing this up because I can't stop watching videos of Maciej and his ability to play so many different types of extremely complicated songs blows me away. Maciej is from a small town in Poland that is responsible for some pretty amazing musicians and a pretty dedicated prog rock community stacked with talent. Maciej is unique in the sense that outshines the idea of being just an entreprenuer or just a drummer. He truly fits the mold for "drumtrepreneur" and by that I mean his work ethic, approach to detail, prudence, diligence, and drive are on a level that most just can't compete with. In today's episode, Maciej gives us the dirty details of his expansive growth as a drummer and what it took for him to get his foot in the door without losing sight of the bigger picture in mind.<br> <br> Key Points from today's episode:<br> <br> * We get the full scope story on Maciej from his early days of winning a bet with his brother to get his first drum set to the later days of becoming a master jazz player.<br> * Maciej breaks down his bromance with Disperse shredder Jakub Zytecki and what led to his even bigger bromance with genius jazz metalman and known Gym Hawk Owane P.<br> * Maciej gives us some detail on what to expect going forward with Disperse, his other projects, and his arm diameters...<br> <br> That's it for today's episode but only the beginning for Maciej and his next chapter as a drumtrepreneur. With such a giant track record at such a young age, we can all bet that his destiny and future are looking extremely bright! Maciej is truly inspirational and I can now say that I have knocked another drummer off of my bucket list of artist interviews.<br> <br> That's it for this episode of the Drummers I Like Podcast, tune in next week!<br> <br> - Richard<br> <br> Links for Maciej<br> <br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/maciekdzikdrums">Facebook</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dzikdrums/?hl=en">Instagram</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjRHUphHndh-jU1kUgh_nJQ">Youtube</a><br> <br> Please take the time to leave a review as it helps rank our show and get it out to more listeners like you!<br> <br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-drummers-i-like-podcast/id1105850747?mt=2">Itunes</a><br> <br> <a href="https://play.google.com/music/m/Iwn2ipfsfqkcsdlqiuynkwkyl4e?t=The_Drummers_I_Like_Podcast">Google</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/richard-ducat/the-drummers-i-like-podcast">Stitcher</a><br> <br> If you missed any of last weeks episode you can catch a quick link to any of the episodes below<br> <br> <a href="https://www.drummersilike.net/dailyfill99">Scott's Drum Lesson on Paradiddles</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.drummersilike.net/dailyfill100">Daily Motivation for Drummers with Richard</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.drummersilike.net/dailyfill87">Morning fuel with J.C.
