| "Paul Wandtke is a combination of chops, power, independence,
imagination, and personality all rolled into one powerhouse of a drummer.
Make sure to check him out; you will most certainly be glad you did!!!"

| "The first time I watched
Paul play, it was easy to hear the feeling come
through his dynamics. If versatility, control, meter and motivation
are what
it takes to be a professional drummer, look no further"
—Ian Macdonald - Sick Drummer Magazine |

| "If residents of Chicago
have wondered why their windy city has been a little windier than
usual lately, The Squid has
the answer. Look no further than the 21-year-old-man wind machine known
as Paul Wandtke
"
—New Blood, Drum! Magazine '08 |

| "Paul’s own playing
demonstrates all the ingredients for heavy metal success: power,
deft hand and foot speed, and stamina, and the ability to support
the band and make their own statement at the same time." —On the Move, Modern Drummer Aug. '04 |
