Yea i seen the switch too but that don't mean shit. He's still one of the greatest traditional grip players out there. He had to do a fast fill and he wanted to switch over to normal grip who cares. Its not a competition.
That is one fugly kit. Which proves you don't need an elaborate kit to sound amazing. I'll bet this guy could make a bunch of trashcans sounds tight haha.
@Ranesus two things...first, that aint holding a stick wrong, its called "traditional". second its not so he can flip his sticks, its obviously because he prefers playing like that.
As a fellow drummer I have a couple of questions Nick. #1. Your drums have amazing tone which brand do you play with?. #2. As a drummer I know it's all in the wrist and MAJOR practice when it comes to blast-beats and for the speed at which you are preforming at, but for the life of me I've never seen the techniquie you use, I guessing maybe it might orginate from jazz???. And just a final thought you are amazing and should be playing music for a living.
this is insane... your kit sounds awesome. it's not often that you hear blasts this "unplugged." and usually when you do, they sound sloppy and awful! but this video sounds amazing! every drum is clear as a bell, but totally organic! i love it. great job man.
dude i dont understand how people get triggers to work properly and keep em that way my bass head tore a ply and now my trigs are all out of whack :/ so i have to say im amazed with the playing and ur kit as well :D
@DrewFarmie2 they look hilarious haha. prolly alot easieer to do tho. wish i could do traditional style, im stuck with the hard way when it comes to blasts
Nick, how do you work up your 32nd notes on your right hand? Like for ride grooves such as 11th hour or Now You've Got Something To Die For, Blood of The Scribe...... Basically shit Chris Adler used to pull off a lot more frequently.
love the traditional style grip. So rare to see that and even more rare in metal. Never cared much for Job for a cowboy, but their drummer is pretty sick and your sick for being able to cover his shit. Good job
Holy SHIT!! Dude, I don't like those fags for a cowboy but I didn't know people could make a great cover from their music... I loved your grip, I had never seen someone playing death metal with that attitude! Awesome.
the guy who wrote this drum line.. andy sellers.. and the guy whos covering it.. nick pierce.. have wat in common?? THEY BOTH HAVE DRUMMED FOR THE FACELESS!!
@blastbeatshaman Awesome job, crazy grip on your stick haha, I bought a 16" Agazarian china, sound almost exactly the same as yours. First time seeing someone use it so I don't feel alone =p.
Sometimes, cheap china's of 40-70 euro's sound better than 200-300 euro china. Wohan and Stagg are good examples. Ask any drummer to do a china sound test without them knowing the brand. You'll see :)
First time ive seen a traditional style snare stick holding used in death metal. Very unique man. But on a different note you pretty much did the whole song perfectlly! Amazing job man.
I don't disagree drummachine.....roddy is sick as hell....but so is nick.....when you get to this level, its just personal preference....i like them both, and the only dude that I can compare this dude to is derek roddy, maybe jon rice....but derek and nick are way smoother...just my opinion...hell, i still groove out to Vinnie Paul...still one of the best, again, my opinion.
I have been drumming in metal bands for more than 15 years, and I can tell you this....THIS DUDE IS THE REAL DEAL....this cat is as good, if not better than derek roddy....he is doing this with what appears to be NO TRIGGERS...great job.
that's your opinion man. did you forget how many different kinds of playing there are in Metal? lots. And because someone doesn't like to play jazz, or grooves and whatnot it doesn't mean they are a coward. That means they are playing what THEY like to play, not what YOU like to play. Every single drummer doesn't want to play and think just like you. They have their own opinion of what's fun and sounds good. or what's boring and sounds like garbage.
wow haha you must be like 10 years old if you think its sped up. news flash, this is what real drumming looks like now, its hard, so hard it makes kids like you think its fake haha. neil pert, travis barker, joey jordison....all of them blow. those old hags are nothing next to todays drummers
