  • fuking perfect i matched it up to the song and its just perect and on time

  • That was amazing, I never thought I would see this on YouTube good job bro

  • sickest cover of this song on youtube

  • Do you do birthday partys

  • 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.

  • anyone else notice the switch from matched to traditional after the fill around :10? =O

  • Comment removed

  • ur a beast man that was amazing

  • Right guys.... who cares how he holds his sticks... If you think you can do better then post yours up... if not then shut up.....

    It is amazing to see your stick technique though, first time i've seen it used in death metal :D keep up the good work bro,

  • 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.

  • what's wrong with your left shiner? too close to the mic?

  • perfect!!

  • good job man. you are good. i love how you hold the sticks trad. style. and you play metal. very cool.

  • i like how you switched between traditional and the more common stick technique in the beginning, are you using push pull?

  • @kholdestare150

    it looks for me that his stick was turned wrong so he spin it around while he was playing...

  • @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.

  • @TheDav967 My comment was for an other Person, because he started playing with his stick "upside down".. I know that he plays traditional.

  • Saw this live a few days ago, and I swear your made a better job of it!

  • your shit hot!

  • what the fuck just happened....

  • dude no need to apologize haha badass cover.. do u do double strokes w/ your feet or straight single strokes?

  • just by looking at your left hand i guess your girlfriend must be crying

  • lol your double bass sounds like machine guns.. awesome

  • Wow? i've never seen a metal drummer use that technique before! interesting!

  • @Heybitchify The drummer from All That Remains uses it^^ But that's also the only I know who uses it..

  • @MKiller5 yah i found that out after i saw them play live xD

  • jesus

  • @ 0:10 Nick WTF! know your role!

  • No matter how much I dislike the music, I can't say this video sucks because the guy's got talent

  • I want t know how you play that fast with your left hand using trad grip :O its like, astonoshing lol.

  • @jhonrox its the original snare position to holding the sticks

  • :O...

  • 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.

  • Hi  you are awesome drummer !!!! Nice Job !!!

  • COOL

  • 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.

  • wayyyyyyyyy too fucking sick.

    so good haha

  • Never seen a traditional blast beat before. Niice

  • 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

  • FUCKING SICK MON !!!

  • what are your practicing methods???

  • 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.

  • sick

  • no joke. i have seen about every drum cover on youtube. this is top 5 for me. amazings my friends. insane

  • elliot sellers.. my bad

  • 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!!

  • @SuperBobsuruncle Except it's Elliott Sellers, not Andy

  • @SuperBobsuruncle "Elliott Sellers"

  • @SuperBobsuruncle Elliot Sellers.

  • dude, you are god, just because you covered this using trad grip, fucking good, 5/5

  • Drumming like he's playing jazz lmfao XD

  • Left hand looks funny as hell. Nice job though.

  • Yeah for playing traditional grip, especially stuff this difficult. =D

  • Awesome job! Dude, what's that China on your right? Please tell me the name and size, and also perhaps where you bought it :D

  • Thats a wuhan 18" china from guitar center

  • @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.

  • @GrumpisTheOrc

    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 :)

  • @SinisterSkip Yeah idd! I have a Wuhan 12" and a Wuhan 18" china now, they are freaking awesome! :P

  • Ehm well let me do this easy That was SICK! XD

  • HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!

    insane double bass skills!!!

    keep it up and more vids coming

  • I literally, no joking, just came... That was probably better than jfac's drummer could even do. 5/5

  • Fuckin Bad ass yo

  • are the snares even on ur snare drum they sound off, great cover one of my favorite bands,

  • dude u kick ass

  • 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.

  • yeah now jfac is deathmetal before they were deathcore

  • wow man you are really talented, god show.

  • well personaly i think shanon lucas might be better than roddy but im biased i love his band

  • This is how Jojo Mayer would sound if he were to play metal! I've watched this for over 10 times and it's still amazing!

  • 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.

  • you cant say anyone is better than roddy dude, i always thought this guy was awesome but you cant say that roddy can do anything

  • 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.

  • Traditional grip=epic

  • i love your pedal-work. good job dude

  • .. So you sped it up? (@1:06)

  • actually you notice it's been sped up everytime you hit a cymbal haha.

  • 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

  • he just hitted before, because YOU can't play it doesn't mean it is sped up
