Paul Hopkins played drummed in Skinlab for ten years. In April 2004 he decided to leave the band. On their web site Skinlab stated:

"His departure from the band was not a total surprise, but rather an awaited decision that he was asked to make in order for us to carry on. Paul has been a huge part of Skinlab and always will be. We toured the world together and accomplished a lot of things that will never be forgotten. We'd like to wish him the best of luck, as well as congratulate him and girlfriend Amber on the recent birth of their new son Caden Hopkins. Life's changes sometimes lead for the better."

When Skinlab reformed in 2006, Paul Hopkins rejoined the fold too.



Paul Hopkins is also known as drummer with Bizarro, the group featuring ex-Forbidden and Testament guitarist Glen Alvelais.
