A Textbook Tragedy live

[NICKYFURYY]

to this day i still would like to know what kind of pants hes wearing

[Tomdood]

no sound!!!

ive watched this so many times and now theres no audio :(

[XXLMOB]

to anyone who even slightly thinks this is sped up.. better learn your shit TXBK!

[jjohnnyd]

I want a pair of those pants. so tight in more ways than one.

[soundof3nails]

what the freak?!?! are the other musicians even playing the same song?!?!

[metulkult]

dance nils dance <3

[happybassist]

Probably the most underrated and over looked drummers out there. This guy is a genius. I don't know shit about drums but I know this guy has mad talent. I'm sorry but anyone that disrespects him or says he's bad, just let gtfo.

[liamgee54321]

holy crap this guy went throu high-school at L.F.A.S thats where i go hey can you tell nick that mr.goderd says hi? it was his music teacher?

[m0410450]

and now they're not a band anymore. : ( x 1000000 times

[Incepti0n]

@m0410450

I can honestly say i will never miss a band as much as TXBK. :(

[imoverage]

omg.. i want his left hand..

[MrMcmikemike]

i could judge it if the sound quality was good. but it fucking looks tight and nuts.

[groovemark]

hot damn that is fast

[strappinggermanlad]

jacktherippergod you have no idea what good drumming is... ask any jazz or death metal drummer, they will tell you he's good, or they'll be too jeallous to admit it and make up some faux reasons for that...

[happybassist]

@strappinggermanlad I don't know who could say Nick is a bad drummer. He is brilliant. I don't understand half the shit he does. Like he has mastered time signatures and he plays so tight which makes him even more impressive.

[strappinggermanlad]

@happybassist

I think you meant someone else, I gave nothing but praise \o.0/

[happybassist]

@strappinggermanlad No I know I was siding with you. I couldn't find the shit talker's comment so I thought I'd just leave my opinion with someone else who knows what's good.

[kurtthornley]

just how?!

[macben17]

man,

What planet are you from?

[brownguitarplayer]

unreal.

[jacktherippergod]

This guy isnt good..

[Fuhhrealluke]

@jacktherippergod How is this not good? I know many jazz drummers. I love jazz just as much as I do hardcore. This is extremely talented, and very good.

[jacktherippergod]

@Fuhhrealluke its not his style its that hes not good like he lacks talent

[Fuhhrealluke]

@jacktherippergod But, to all we know jazz could've been his biggest drumming influence as a kid, but joined a hardcore band. And this is extremely talented. The amount of ghost notes he's doing in this piece is unreal. His groove, his everything is just talented.

[jacktherippergod]

@Fuhhrealluke not at all hes just flailing around offtime on random notes its not impressive

[Fuhhrealluke]

@jacktherippergod If you think this is off time, you need to learn more subdivisions and syncopations.

[komplex71]

@Fuhhrealluke he went to the same school as me, langley fine arts. and jazz was the influnce he had, thats the only band we had.

[Fuhhrealluke]

@komplex71 That's really cool man, What is he like in person?

[komplex71]

@Fuhhrealluke really chill, like he walks in says hi and then is like BAM best drummer in the world

[merlitacleveland]

You guys are great!

[thefays15]

pede sucks more than piss

[yutaNshit0]

thats not right...

[phatstinker]

too bad they dont play this stuff at showss anymore:(

[itLEAKED]

this is not sped up.....know these dudes.....he is just that good

[TouchMyPoo]

its a shame nobody could keep up with him if he was going all out

[stevo32E]

So they managed to speed him up, but keep everyone else in the video at a normal speed?

Yeah, that's totally possible to to.

[stevo32E]

Clearly sarcasm, by the way.

[thatdave123]

must have taken him alllootttt of crack to do that

[peuptypants]

1:30 that beat doesnt make any sense. jesus christ. what a god

[mickyfrombybh]

this is absolutely amazing, i cant wait to see these guys at Showveroad (in Saskatoon btw) :P

[b0vine]

[vasder55]

[loveloveloveBritt]

[downburst]

[halifaxskater]

nick yacyshyn is considered one of the best drummers not only in vancouver but in canada, he's amazing.

[DWboy81]

A Textbook Tragedy <3

[TheGoodTimesInc]

SEE A TEXTBOOK TRAGEDY IN TORONTO MARCH 16th @ Kathedral...the A Tribute to Salad Fingers Show w/ The Good Times, Shortline Hero, Charitys and more.

[abnegatingconformity]

I swear this guy could be a fusion drummer. He has impeccable technique and he is deadly accurate. I think he is up there with my favorite drummers Chad Wackerman and Morgen Agren. Awesome band, seeing them on saturday :-)

[macben17]

holy. dude is am-a-zing. quick, technical,jazz too.

hell yes.

[zakshillack]

you mean the best drummer/band on the planet!

[xmattx8]

k... so... what the fuck just happend?

[johnnydoom77]

i love this band.

[beeftothetaco123]

I played his snare it was at my friends house for like a year thats fuckin great!!!!!

[WillWatson23]

definatly one of the best drummers in vancouver right now

[DrummingMofo]

this kid is so fricking bad at drumming. STOP DRUMMING

[macben17]

your an idiot.

[SashaMonday]

Cool!

[thedeucester]

Awesome!  Sounds like its "Dance, Nils, Dance!" if I'm not mistaken.

[reagkk]

He's a pretty talented drummer, thats fo sho

[DrummingMofo]

very shitty..

[thedeucester]

Very mature of you to bash a talented drummer over the web. Think you can do better than Nick? Then prove it! Post a vid of you doing better or, better yet, just keep your snide remarks to yourself...

[In2Infinity]

Your very shitty.

[KN2HF]

to be honest I wasn't fond of this band at first but after actualy listening and seeing thtem live, they are excellent musicians ^.^

I applaud their talent. sounds jazzy, may not be but it's good music and in the end...everything is music is it not?

[unearth14]

hell of a drummer

[dijitole]

Very talented, yet super boring and repetitive. He needs to be put to better use.

[signalsofme]

this guy has some excellent jazz training

[Vengeance9]

i love how everyone prejudges tis band, go see them live and im sure youll tell me a different story LOL

amazing band, listen to the new album and im sure you will change your mind, amazing song writers and... go fuck your dirt star :)

to anyone who talks shit about this band

TEXTBOOK FUCKIN OWNS!!

[Diuretic88]

sooooo sick one of the better local drummers ive seen not the best but still very talented

[isgoanrain]

Saw them finally last night for the first time, cuz the last time they came i had mono... godamn. godamn. I'm in love. godamn.

[Curtissss]

Hey man is there anyway you could send me the whole video? I've been looking around for it.

[jamis90]

man sunderlanding! dude your a faggit! ya nick yakishin is a amazing drummer. but kye and bill and all those boys can paly an amazing show so stop raggin!

[Loki440ca]

the rest of the band is plenty talented, thank you very much. listen to jazz solos much? give that a shot then tell me it's the worst guitar lead you've ever heard...

[Sunderlanding]

This has nothing to do with Jazz. It's just chromatic bullshit. Fucking moron go learn something about jazz before you comment.

[b0vine]

@Sunderlanding prove it lil' troll id write this out to prove you wrong

[Sunderlanding]

@b0vine I don't have to prove shit to you little douche.

[b0vine]

@Sunderlanding really funny. the only reason you think its chromatic is cause you cant count it out hahahahaha

[Sunderlanding]

@b0vine What does chromatic have to do with counting? Chromatic is melodic, and counting is rhythmic. Really if you're going to try to make fun of someone you should know what the words you're using mean. Then you won't sound like such a fucking idiot.

[b0vine]

@Sunderlanding replace chromatic with "bullshit"

[Sunderlanding]

@b0vine Why? That's not what I said. Clearly you're just too stupid to read.

[Sunderlanding]

Yes the drummer is really good, but what's up with the rest of the band. He should fire those clowns and play with some real musicians. That's one of the worst guitar leads I've ever heard.

[Protestfan]

you obviously haven't heard their new stuff then

[Frymononie]

why cause its different?

go listen to simple plan if you want typical guitar.

[Sunderlanding]

Different? And how is this different then all the other bands playing this stuff. They're just a crapy version of it with a good drummer. And when did I say anything about typical guitar? Why don't you take the cock out of your mouth before you decide to comment.

[andrewpark]

Nick is amazing.

When he played down here in Ontario, my band played with A Textbook Tragedy, and all I have to say is. He's probably the best drummer I've seen come around here.

[billmassy]

NICK SUX BILL RULZ

[enderskid]

also... I recorded this! How did it end up on youtube?

oh well. I'm sure i would have put it up if no one else did. :)

[MikeWestMovies]

BO-RING! The only interesting thing about the video was the red and green underpants - in a gay Christmassy way.

[Tolink]

hooray for a textbook tragedy!!!!YOU GUYS KICK ASS!!!

[aniguchisan]

That drummer is gifted...that's all I can say.

[i001100i]

Nothing Sean Reinert couldn't pull with his thumb up his ass. :P

[enderskid]

I do hope you realize that nick is like... 19 in this video.

[krisdrepko]

Oh my GODD....

those are some of the most tight unique licks i've ever witnessed..

[11Minorchords]

well done nick

[idratherbedrumming]

Dude u shred-I LOVE it. Anyone that can rip as hard as u can on a 4 piece deserves MAD props...that was like Chris Pennie (Dillinger Escape Plan) status!

[weebs]

Unreal!

[chapterfour]

its amazing

just watch what the hand on the snare drum is doing

through out most of this little solo thing,

he had like a 5 stroke roll continuously going.

[joeEEEboy]

soo fuckin good at the drums....thats all i got to say

ur wayyy good



[danialwindmillz]

most amazing band ever man!

so stoked to see you on saturday.
