Bartosz Nazaruk is a name that needs no introduction to drum enthusiasts in his native Poland, and could soon become a household name among world music lovers the world over. A Gretsch artist, he has been associated with the band Zakopower for years, and has also worked with artists such as Urszula Dudziak, Kayah & Transoriental Orchestra, Dagadana, Michal Urbaniak, Grażyna Auguścik, Jazz Bending, Tutaj, Sztetl, United States Of Beta, Mate.O, Natalia Kukulska, Leszek Możdżer, Halina Mlynkova, Novika, Natalia Nykiel, Maria Sadowska. His musical language includes jazz, pop, electronica, and numerous kinds of world music. His versatility isn’t limited to playing the drums – he is also a respected producer, arranger and composer. Not only does he bring professionalism to each of his projects, but also a unique character.
DrumCam featuring the song “Idę Dalej” (‘I Keep Going’) – Technique, Groove, Perfection
In the most recent video prepared for Beatit TV, Bartosz Nazaruk demonstrates his skills live, performing the song “Idę dalej” (‘I Keep Going‘) by his band Zakopower. The DrumCam allows viewers to closely follow every nuance of his playing – from the precise strokes, to the subtle transitions, the characteristic groove and ease with which he makes the entire ensemble follow his lead. We think this is excellent material for all drummers, both professionals and amateurs.
Gretsch Renown Maple – Drums in a Class of Its Own
We absolutely have to mention the instrument Bartosz is playing here. The recording utilizes a Gretsch Renown Maple kit. It is characterized by a warm, full sound and excellent projection, which, combined with Nazaruk’s skills, produces a world-class result.

Video Production
We at Beatit TV tried to pay attention to every detail – both in terms of sound and video quality. We wanted the carefully positioned cameras allow us to showcase Bartosz’s playing technique from different perspectives, while the meticulous audio production aims at making every nuance of sound perfectly audible. We hope this material will satisfy even the most demanding viewers.
