Paul Altomonte, or as some call him, "lightning sticks," still hasn't practiced once since the band was formed, and doesn't need to either.   Allegedly born in Tangiers, Morocco, Paul was discovered at infancy on the Algerian border by a nomadic Bedouin family moving west across the continent.   Believed to be a gift from Allah, the Bedouins took him in as their own and took up settlement along the Sabou River in a suburb of Fez—which, fortuitously for The Fifth, was right smack in the middle of the North African bongo trade route.   With the exception of the former black-market percussion capital of Mathura, on the Ganges River, no other center in history could boast a more voluminous drum trade.   After mastering every type of percussion instrument by the age of three and a half, legend has it that the child was renamed "al-Tuman Ntji," which in dialectical Arabic translates loosely to, "he whose soul is the snare drum of the heavens."   It wasn't until 1977, during the great Bedouin migration to Anaheim, California, when the family decided that "al-Tuman Ntji" would become "Altomonte," for ease of pronunciation.
