[HBHSdrumlineDude]

[Ricardo0200]

[omegabarret]

@Ricardo0200 it sticks into the ceiling, that's the thud you hear after it leaves frame lol

[Ricardo0200]

@omegabarret xD

[niikil]

everybody starts their solo with a fucking buzz roll

[Theduffman4333]

@niikil I think he actually started it with a visual.

[kutociong1]

Fap speed - maximum reached :D

[TheLogan1156]

Why is he playing on a tabletop? Oh, wait. that's Scott Johnson's awesome tuning. Seriously, though, Niko is an awesome drummer.

[rykoy]

i tried watching both videos at the same time and my internet crashed.... lol

[cooldrums]

@spstarks ask him lol

[Xelanoux]

DAMN

[KLBossman21]

[tr0mpwned]

@1drummer214 *even

[TVOham]

Should have won.

[penalty92]

What is that called that he is doing at 3:41 i just need to know if there is a name for it. i call it an alternating rotation but anyone know what it is?

[pimpinology]

............damn...did the stick get stuck in the ceiling?

[pimpinology]

............damn

[Kevindigsdrumming]

Suuuuuuuch a sick ending

[dummer690]

i just pooped...

[mikeskate148]

@dummer690 zane?

[dummer690]

@mikeskate148 YEsssssssssss



[shadowhalo1]

holy shit, them flam taps!

[Sfz0]

what place did he get?

[timmypoopoo]

@Sfz0 6th

[timmypoopoo]

@Sfz0 6th. he was the first person to perform, so he had a huge disadvantage in terms of the way the scores were set.

[Gr00veT00be]

This routine shows so much more range in techniques, and it's performed at expert level. This guy definitely smokes Pacheco in terms of skill, but Pacheco played the crowd.

[darkfiredanny101]

nikooo yeaa!!!!! western drum teacher i had him teach me in my ov days ur the best niko

[Dreamdrummer33]

he looks like the guy from clover field.

[6393dude]

his right arm looks like rubber

[123sumguy]

Awesome ending

[bigxjon91]

I couldnt even do paradiddles in 2004

[kooliodrummer53]

beastly ending. 

[kalani9000]

So... Many ... Flams!!!! *Head explodes!!*

[chsneary]

Niko is my drum teacher at school and he is amazing! He is a bit faster at his flam taps, too!

[stjimmy55]

Hmmmm..... At the last he loses control a little bit, but the rest of his solo is SOOO much more boss than Pacheco's.

[sticktwirlingking]

I can't see the stick

[Bopkins14]

ROB CARSON WOULD BE RPOUD!!!! nice job bro.

[malloyflyman17]

Is there anybody else in the world who can play flam taps that fast?

[SweetlyDissonant]

Niko! Now that I watch this, I can hear elements of his writing style- certain patterns that he incorporates into our shows. We're lucky to have him as our battery instructor (:

[johnysachs]

@SweetlyDissonant what school do you play for? I would love to hear or see a youtube vid of your shows... And yeah you are definitely blessed to have this guy as an instructor...

[SweetlyDissonant]

@johnysachs Huntington Beach High School. Yeah, I’ll send you a link to last year’s championships show.

[gfaithw]

shit myself three times 1st time 1:27 2nd time 2:54 ohh my GOD!!! then 3rd time 3:54

[xxDayDr3am3rxx]

It could be it,might be, and yes!!!!!!! He's Done it!!!!! The stick is through the roof!!!!!!!!

[wweman1092]

did anyone else relize that at the end the stick hit the ceiling in time with the beat lol!! BEASTIN

[malloyflyman17]

I like how he had to tell everyone that he's playing flam taps, probably because everyone, including myself, would have just thought it was a roll.

[aboyintheblue]

o my good! this is greath! lots of tecnic.

[thextortionist]

AAAHHH NIKKO! 

[tyj0322]

what's up with his stick bag?

[TheAlan67]

sooo wht tht mean?

[Xelanoux]

"you guys ready?"

[TPR626]

those morphs towards the end are fuckin sick

[Camerrz]

How do you pronounce his last name? Lol.

[Camerrz]

3:53 Win! :D

[Camerrz]

@Camerrz  Well 3:53 to the end. Lol.

[WFZugz]

"Dude, where's your other stick?"

"Oh, you know, the ceiling."

[spark180]

2:02 he does the tin man dance

[DarmokandJiladLLP]

Awesome. Totally awesome.

Not only should he have gotten 1st, I would put this ahead of all the other solos I've seen online (Casey Brohard, Ivan Pacheco, Jeff Queen, etc.)

[whitecastleawesome]

he should have named this solo morphalicious!

[Spid4r7]

Where's this impulse place at??

[tubarocksguy1111]

He is the intructor at impulse Its so cool to have him there. He's a god

[PatsFan564]

Freakin' awesome!

[PatsFan564]

Best ending in the history of Snare drumming.

[11louisse]

@PatsFan564 agreeeeed!

[spstarks]

@PatsFan564 hell yeah

[DRAG0NSIN7]

*breaks light fixture

[Suckapunch11]

If this one is second place which I think it is it might have gotten first if it wasn't for that pinky flare at 1:50

[Flopadiddle]

I love his morphs into other rudiments

[KiNG4742]

lustig ^^

das ist das älteste video was es noch gibt in youtube ^^

zumindest kenn ich keins wo 2005 steht ^^

[oshssnare11]

1:51 PINKY!!!!!!!!!

[BrokenSkullFilms]

VIC FIRTH DRUM STICKS RULE!!

[NicoTregs]

anyone know what kind of sticks he's using?

[A7X6277]

3:53 DA BEST ENDING!!!

[bitchwithbraces1]

awesome!!!

[damdas1232]

Hey.. he's name is just like polish name's:D

[elbenhair]

haha killer

[spitfirefeen960]

holy bejesus. at the end.....i jus got a boner!!1 lmao

[warmink1973]

Oh my god... A little faster and smoke will come from his sticks...

Hahahaha...

[xX6jdub9XxaaaA]

ahahaha, only niko can have an ending as retarded an nonrhythmic as that and make it sound good.

[Sukkeh]

Epic ending!

[WillWriteYourSongs]

I'm counting in at 160 to 180 bpm. Does that sound right guys? I'm a beginner in the drumming world. I do play other instruments so I'm no dummy. X^D

-AF

[evlmnkybtr]

He's constantly changing his tempo as he moves through his licks... I'm sure he was that fast for some of it, but not nearly all of it

[campadonico954]

in one part of the vid he goes into match grip is allowed to do that?

[dunemaster93]

@campadonico954 yes

[jazzycat1]

@campadonico954 Of course. Why wouldn't he? There's no rule stating snare drummers have to play traditional grip in DCI. Many DCI snarelines have gone matched grip in the past.

[moylanfan62]

he has much faster hands than ivan pacheco

[spark180]

@moylanfan62

but he's not as hot as ivan

[moylanfan62]

@spark180 really? how old r u

[mexiboii001]

@moylanfan62 ya'll just hating cuz ivan's latino and ya'll that are thumbing up are white...i wanna see this fool play with his fucken elbow xD!

[13RuffRyder]

@moylanfan62 ya but is his elbows faster to?? lol

[PogoPantheon]

Judges probably counted off for opening pinky on his single 32nds. every body does that now not realizing it's bad technique.

[xX6jdub9XxaaaA]

heyy! its niko!! ahaa, hes the drum instructor for hb now.

[moylanfan62]

dude! u have got some fast hands.

[moylanfan62]

how many beat per second do u think u were pulling, u have some fast hands.

[Tommeke11]

Rattatarat tat CLACK

And that's how an epic snare drummer created the black hole-in-a-ceiling :D

[pathagen2]

Beast

[bzagar1]

horrible videotronics.

[Snebasseor]

OMG!! Nice quality of sound on the ceiling!

[diggityshway]

the ending = EPIC WIN!

rat tat tat TAT! .....CLUNK right into the ceiling

[urcoolcoolcool]

Thats wat i was thinkin

[KudoKid]

haha his stick stuck in the celing. loo XD

[owaaaa984]

holy shit your right, that whole time you never see it land haha.

[AlphaFalconX]

Or it could have just landed off-screen

[duhhh676]

iight but not as good as the MONSTER lol

[Nelson11994]

wasted my 4 min

[tennysonmh2]

that solo...earned him 6th?! wtf is that shit!?!?!

[thenixon]

he prob got a peanalty for leaving a hole in the ceiling haha thats the only reason i could imagine him placing so low this solo is good as shit.

[tennysonmh2]

haha

[whazup8]

what place did niko get?

[bobby2255]

second

[LittlezDDR]

I didn't find Noel Alvarez's to be as impressive. This and Ivan Pacheo's tie.

[billybear12345]

what place did he ended??

[ElliuttGutierrez920]

he ended 6th should have gotten a better score then he did

[2freshn2tall]

ok, just watched the first place solo and I'll say that the elbow thing was cute but this guy is a sick beast and his solo was more diverse AND he stuck his sitck in the roof IN TIME, come on now, really.

[Groffy999]

And this solo was actually fun to watch, I totally agree with you

[ElliuttGutierrez920]

i no rite NIko did way better then dat other guy

[TheFotomunki]

Cheezadiddle complained about Niko announcing Flam taps, that's because Cheezadiddle wouldn't have known what they were otherwise !! who cares...TWAT!!

[TheFotomunki]

Niko wins hands down, no question !! this has more content, more skill & his stick could hit the ceiling (would this be more dynamic range ??), sorry - just had to say it, the boy done good tho, i taught him well, but i'm still better on bass ha ha - nuff said !

[LittlezDDR]

I think this and Ivan Pacheo tie.

[zeppelinstarr]

I agree with that!!!

[dscerrone]

im not a fan of the dynasty snares but still an awesome solo

[TunaOfTheLand]

dynasty stuff just sounds funny.

[itsmelaurice]

So sexy=)

[ElliuttGutierrez920]

niko u r da master!!!! i bow down 2 my intructor

[bassdude011]

hella proud to have him as my instructer!!!!!!!!!! :]

[ElliuttGutierrez920]

awsum hes my instructor 2!

[MugshotRenfro]

I love how the stick hits ceiling in time at the end. Sick.

[gfaithw]

HELLO CARPAL TUNNEL LOL

[Isntthisalreadytaken]

Also, what place did he get for this?

[Isntthisalreadytaken]

Hertas at 3:17 wouldn't be so impressive... had he not played them at 15'!

[SuicidalSnare]

hmm at around 2:55, are those REALLY flam taps? It just sounds like a buzz/press/crush roll...idk if its humanly possible to play flam taps that fast!

[cheezadiddle]

It would have been more impressive if had just sped up to flam taps that fast instead of stopping, announcing he was about to perform flam taps at light speed, and then playing them. I hate it when he does that.

[wallakazoo333]

i need help wit 1:28

[grandcranium]

these chaps adore themselves

[elcielo1981]

i would too if i could play that well.
