Daniel Adair - Montreal Drum Festival Solo 2007

[stabyourcat]

Great playing. Nickleback can gargle my balls, though.

[Lesson69PAC]

Once I started watching this video HONESTLY.. all I was thinking is "wow" and "holy shit"...that was fucking AWESOME!

[MFenwick79]

BADD ASS DRUMMER WATCHED THIS VIDEO TILL I COULD DO IT MYSELF

[GuitarHeroFaSchifo]

24 person are stupid(they dont like)



[Celtica111]

OMG! That double bass beat at 3:30 Melted my Face!

[JohnKoenig10]

1:49 star power activated

[MrLaughingbaby]

Pretty good! If you wan't something more in this style watch?v=r9bFPsVtXgY

[kyussfan6]

He is so underplayed in Nickelback.

[MrPorecan]

Bravo Daniel ! Ovo je jako dobro! Pozdrav iz Poreča!

[jambi99]

He is good. However he is a professional drummer. That mean you've to compare it to the best. Therefore, i don't think this solo is that impressive. There is not much polyrythme. Is foot technic on the hit-hat is quit common and is double bass as well.It is that kind of stuff that you would expect from a professional drummer. Sorry, but i just try to be objectif...

[Tellalca]

@jambi99 No one should compare an artist to other artists. This is not a sport.

[Vandeflosch]

@jambi99 But I guess Daniel Adair is a million times better then you... So shut up

[FeD135]

Surprised he didnt breake a stick

[nikkisacapilo]

daniel adair the best!!\m/

[pONtosan100]

1:44 \,,,/ Good...

[MiguelBruzualC]

from 1:44 to 3:06 just WOW o.O :D nice...

[lokau0114]

JUST NOT A NOOB

[Vandeflosch]

impressive :o

[exsilent]

Groovy solo!! Amazing!!

[AspiringRocker729]

@RussianDrummer92 Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again. Did I mention that you're wrong? Cuz you're wrong. For starters: Vinnie Colaiuta, Mike Mangini, Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, Chris Pennie, Chris Coleman, Derek Roddy, Jojo Mayer, Navene Koperweis (Arguably)... I could go on. Danny's darn good, but he's nowhere near the level of those drummers. If you say otherwise, you're a blind fanboy, and may as well replace Danny Carey with Travis Barker. That is simply fact.

[metaldrummer47]

that poor china lol

[DrummerRF]

never knew he was so good.

[joaooguilhermee]

if you want a drum battle between Daniel Adair and joey jordison. THUMBS UP!!!

[IKnowEverythingOk]

@joaooguilhermee speakin da troof

[gshdrums]

@joaooguilhermee LOL, Adair would kick his asshole in

[Zeth0711]

what pearl did he use when nickelback did sturgis 2006?

[droppedC94]

@Zeth0711 custom made ;)



[gshdrums]

@Zeth0711 MasterWorks. 4plys maple toms with reinforcement rings..10 and 12 and a 18inch floor tom which was mahogany, cant remember the plys on it though......22" kick and t brady snare drums one was 14x6.5 and the other was 12x5.5

[ViscountHoratio]

meh i could do that with my eyes shut

[Ravelife79]

He is really very good!

[JCordoba1001]

not really into nickelback, but Daniel Adair is one of my influences. He's an amazing drummer

[wogylife]

jizz at 1:51

[candidcomment]

@331paradiddle Lets get a little perspective, Im not into Nickleback , dont know em so well or listen to them , but this guy plays very well , its a nice well balanced solo and before you respond ," Juxtapose = side by side" him with that Talentless INTERNET YOUTUBE FUCK ;COBUS !That is the biggest Talentless fraud on the planet , so this guy plays pretty fucking groovy from what i can see and hear .

[butters46514]

@RussianDrummer92 what i said was just an opinion

[daaaan99]

Rock

[iqsymphic]

Virgil Donati, Mike Mangini, Terry Bozzio...just to name a few that could probably drum better with one arm, one leg, and half a brain than this guy. Just saying.

[BlackApple18]

@iqsymphic Cool story bro. you should tell it at partys if you ever get invited to one

[butters46514]

2nd best drummer. no body can beat neil peart at drumming

[MrRadhi89]

Daniel Adair and Chad Szeliga are possibly the best rock drummers of the past few years. Serious chops!

[michaelthe13th]

this was just outstanding! love it!

[abcdedsful]

hey guess what...your songs and kroger still all sound like shit.

[gshdrums]

@abcdedsful yeh thats why they have sold over 70 million albums now......and sell out 98% of there shows...

[mgnewage479]

Wouldn't call myself a Nickelback fan, but the drummer is amazing.

[cankarales]

we want more videos like this!

[airguitarist51]

2:26 check out his computer moving all over the place

[HSimon1981]

Yes, I am for real and I might add Mike Mangini of Dream Theater to that list as well.

[05093940258]

Класс!!!!!!!!Охуенно!!!!!

[fetznschedl2]

shut up guys nickelback is fuckin awesome

[FrankfurtGerman96]

@fetznschedl2

nickelback offend you.?

[shadowranger16]

I think it's sad that one of the greatest bands of all time Nickelback. Yes I said Nickelback. They have other songs besides just photograph people. They're made fun of so much for literally the worst reasons. They're songs are played a lot on radio? That's why you hate them really? Pathetic

[mgnewage479]

@shadowranger16 Many people hate them for many different reasons, not just the radio. I dislike them because their songs sound very similar to one another. And i'm not just talking about their radio hits.

[TheCool2400]

1:47

[HSimon1981]

and he's using a double-bass pedal man.

[HSimon1981]

I think Daniel Adair is a pretty cool drummer, up there with the leagues of Ulrich and Joey Jordison.

[toynazi]

@HSimon1981 haaa lars and joey jordison? are you for real? haaa

[zackattack94]

@HSimon1981 u know shit all about drumming

[Ziljdian55]

@HSimon1981 Are u kidding?? Lars Ulrich has got NOTHING on Daniel Adair

[HiPPoKryPtiC]

Blake Richardson> Daniel Adair

Between The Buried And Me> this "band" and any other band out there

[MrCatWalkBMX]

at 1:44 what is that beat im a drummer and i want to learn it

[restlessbreed10]

wow this certainly shows you clearly that its no mistake that this guy is the backbone of nickelback much like john henry bonham was to zepplin. the dude is fast, tight and most of all he plays hard. a cymbal killer surpreme . a head buster. i just wish he played a better set of drums those pearls are beneath him in more ways than one...

[anunstealthynacho]

@restlessbreed10 He plays DW now ;)

[MrCatWalkBMX]

cool beat at 1:26



[springinc]

The scragg end of exhibition drumming....Not a patch compared to the likes of Virgil Donati , Thomas Lang etc,,,just play for er whats their name..Dimefront or something

[Bluitellet]

Does the groove from 2:21 has a name?? I'm a drummer, i want to learn it, but it's very fast , so I can't see what he exactly plays.

Lot of thanx.

[renegade220]

Why is he in Nickelback? He actually has talent.

[captainchrist1986]

Starts off a bit shit but gets awesome from about 1min onwards

[DKudz]

what a boring drum solo

[HebSub1]

KanyeBiggieTyga - Shut up.

[altemirfilho]

What are you doing in those bands man? Go find a band to your level. (Y)

[StewieSwan]

@altemirfilho He's making bank is what he's doing.

[cankarales]

this vid should be available in 1080p! O___O

[bikestunts123]

I can tell he holding back, look at his drum solos from 09 and 10 you can tell hes holding back.

[darkwaver517353]

What the fuck does this man (Who is obviously some kind of god) in the fucking band Nickelback? I mean great band, but he kind of is in the wrong band if you asked me xD

[tascherman22]

3 Doors Down Let him go....big fuckup.

[XXXopeyXXX]

go head and skip to 2.00 minutes hahah!!



[zeegor13]

GREAT BAND WITH SUCH A SHIT DRUMMER THATS THE TRAGEDY HERE PHIL COLLINS CHESTER THOMPSON WHERE ARE YOU ?? !!!

[SubwayStar7]

@zeegor13 Sorry, i think you made a mistake there...Shit band with such a great drummer.

[Drummermoose777]

@beatfreak1983 yes yes, very simple shit.

stfu.

[MrCurly12345]

stop arguing about nickelback... justin bieber is rock n rolls real enemy

[sweetfly66]

@MrCurly12345 ... wrong ... justin bieber is a teen pop star ... he`ll be gone in a couple of years ... nickelback meanwhile are a rock band , allegedly .... and they do their best to have integrity and make an impact musically ...it just makes them suck that much more ... they arent quite as bad as Creed but they run a pretty close 2nd

[stinkfishopera]

1:49 ..smooth

[ThatChaseGuy]

It makes me mad that he is so talented and plays in such a terrible band.

[TOC1594]

3:30 intro to follow you home

[bikestunts123]

@TOC1594 actually no the follow you home is not a complete double bass, it even uses the ride cymbal not a hi hat, look at DANIEL ADAIR DRUM SOLO WEMBLEY, by FLUFFYCARTERS, and go to 2:50, that is follow you home.

[TOC1594]

@bikestunts123 well yeah i could tell it wasnt the exact same, but its definitely recognizable. its based around follow you home but he just changed it a little

[whosthatdrummer]

@TOC1594 no it isnt...

[punk9999643]

@TOC1594 That is far from what the intro to Follow you Home sounds like.

[TOC1594]

@punk9999643 yeah youre not the first one to point that out, im sorry if you guys cant hear it. when he started playing that i thought it sounded similar so i posted a comment, gimme a break.

[punk9999643]

@TOC1594 I'm not gonna see your comment then look through all the other comments to see if someone replied. And what do you mean "sorry you cant hear it."? I do hear it, it sounds nothing like it.

[falco2000]

he plays drum solos in every nickelback show so shut the fuck up ;) nickelback rocks and daniel is the best! fucking great rock drummer for a fucking great rock band

[cumwizard]

been drummin for 14 years, im seventeen, but damn.

hes fuckin goooood.

[JoedVatruna07]

Since 1:44 <3

[sammyg971]

wow he makes it look so easy and all those twists he was doing while playing rocked i so i wish i could do that

[mynameis441]

15 people are too short to play drums..

[FromTheAshesWeRiot]

I thought porn wasnt allowed on youtube??

[anusfish97]

wow! :L

[DrUmMeRbOy14296]

who knew that u could orgasm for 4 minutes and 20 seconds, oh well, u learn something new everyday

[alan15gui]

ele é mto bom ! ta de parabéns NICKELBACK é d+ =)

[13nichelle]

I used to know this guy.  Didn't become famous because he was with Nickelback or 3Doors Down. He was actually very good before them because he practiced so hard and that's why they discovered him. Way to go DANIEL!!!! You are AWESOME!

[blica1]

i fucking hate nickleback,.. or as i'd like to call them, STINKleback, but daniel is a very decent rock drummer, with some nice chops and showmanship..all elements needed to be a solid, musical rock drummer..

[antibulletdodger101]

@blica1 Wow. Stinkelback. That´s so funny. 

[urasi520]

you re kidding he is AMAZING!

[oadrums]

man, you cant say that this is an impressive drums solo

[stex29]

Time to go practice...

[OwenJacksonDrums]

I had no idea via Nickelback albums that had so much groove!

[AlexPaceMusic]

Cann you imagine this guy used to be a nerd with a bow tie working at my local music shop

[kevvymetal666]

@AlexPaceMusic

worked at music shop yes. bowtie, not a chance. nice try though.

[Pistonhips]

Great drummer in such a shit band...tragic

[KanyeBiggieTyga]

nickleback**

[KanyeBiggieTyga]

GET THIS MAN OUT OF NICKLEBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LetsRaZeR]

@KanyeBiggieTyga y?

[KanyeBiggieTyga]

@KanyeBiggieTyga are you kidding me? if he can drum like that, whats he doing in a bubble gum band like nickleband? there are SO many bands he could drum for that could expose his REAL talent. his drumming in nickelback albums is extremely basic

[Zrouss]

@KanyeBiggieTyga It's called getting a ton of money from being in one of the highest selling bands in the United States, unfortunately.

[JorjoCZ]

@KanyeBiggieTyga Why ? :-O

[KanyeBiggieTyga]

@JorjoCZ he is way to good for them

[broncassolver]

@KanyeBiggieTyga  why?

[GringoJet]

Bit of a Lange clone here . . . maybe a little more effort to clean up the strokes. Old saying . . . play at 90% of ability . . . things will sound a whole lot better. Heavy reliance on the double peddle . . . none the less . . . strong player

[danielcalderon]

If this dude played technical contemporary metal...

[gshdrums]

insane drummer daniel is, but that kit sounds horrible

[MJCG1088]

@gshdrums aren't you glad he moved to DW drums - this is his old Pearl kit

[gshdrums]

@MJCG1088 His MasterWorks kit sounded good....This is a reference.....i dont know if he tuned it or a tech did but it sounds bad!

[lazyguy1393]

LOL @ stylerprofyler. was that necessary?

[sozebee95shreds]

travis barker disliked this video

[FarcryBeast]

omg you guys are all just nickelback or daniel haters... if you don't like them don't comment hate thinghs plz, this is a good drummer even if you don't like him.. this isn't everything he's able to do, i've seen more and better things and btw, awesome solo!

[Tatedrums]

Sitting beside Neil Pearl my ass. anyone who's been playing for like 4 years could do this shit easily.

[PoeticJustice05]

ll his solos are the same. I'm not a fan.  For the guy who said he's right next to Neil Peart, maybe in the bathroom line, but drumming wise, he's nowhere close.

[an225gd]

sounds better when played in a stadium in front of 60,000 thousand screaming people.....

[ListedProduction]

Why is this guy playing for Nickleback? lol

[280spartacus]

Dan is one of the greatest Rock drummer presently in the world ! He is a great Canadian drummer ! Well done Dan ! D'ont envy Neil Peart ! you are sitting beside him ! Robert !

[skipswoman]

This was freakin awesome!! what a surprise from the Nickelback drummer :)

[stipurin1001]

best part: 1:42 - 2:01....=D

[1xsooliner]

(the machine) - give that man a cookie - nice danny!

[KenSchalk]

i was waiting for him to do something UNREHEARSED but it never happened. he's a pretty good drummer though.

[TheBshep1992]

dewarftsyguh-;.lo,kimjuhnygfrv­sdcs sorry wiping off the cum

[5PIK30N3]

Well, Nickelback has a lot of surprises :)

[roeyo]

in 1:50 that china hit is epic

[newventuresband]

13 guys got their ass fucked by a stick..

[muppetandsmurf]

that was awsome. this has to be his best solo though /watch?v=HQSxygbwtzw&feature=r­elated just my opinion, but i prefer it.

[kingwing94]

AWESOME

[chingy1792]

Never under estimate a prairie boy!!!!We got it all!!!!!!!!!!

[raulexr]

my inspiration

[StrawBERRYxxUniCORN]

holy... crap.. i... came

[EinarNelad]

This is so awesome! I`m no big NB fan, but this drummer is awesome! I`m a guitarist myself, so I probably don`t hear drumming the way drummers do, but I love this guys drum solos because they progress and "go somewhere". Not just ALL THE TIME "Hey listen to how manye drums I can hit within a second."

And that funk rythm! Damn, he must score some chocolate on that!

[Weileeeh]

Wow, that's just amazing. Simply amazing.

The technique and everything ..

This guy is why I play drums!

[silvaswan]

@Weileeeh same here !!!! :)

[paulosemifusa]

Very nice...

Good dyamic!!!

[NoahGlobal]

i was all like "sweet jesus he's good!" but then i read the description.

[pinoyproudAr]

@NoahGlobal What's wrong with the description?

[NoahGlobal]

i was all like "sweet jesus he's good!" but then i read the descrtiption.

[0220WillHippie]

o__________o awesome

[911bambam1]

3:30 bleed lmfao it sounds like it

[TheBabyball]

its not about skill guys... its all about feel... thats why he is nickelback.

[DiamondDJandSound]

Nickleback is a waste of this guys talent. They don't deserve someone with this skill.

[ivainino]

OMG... o.O Perfect!!!

[hassan2424]

since when did he use double bass.....little respect lost

[blastmacheeeeen]

makes it look way to hard

[barkerfan182]

yeah I remember when this guy broke hois pinky about 4 yrs ago and cried about it and cancelledthe rest of the NB tour so yeah Im not impressed. But he is very talented none the less

[racestarter88]

@barkerfan182 well its very hard to play drums in a cast with a broken pinky, dum shit.

[barkerfan182]

@racestarter88 haha well Ive broke my pinky and maybe its just me but um, they dont put a whole cast on your arm/hand for a pinky. Travis Barker (Yeah Im using him) Broke his right forearm and played the whole +44 tour with his left hand and left foot and his shit is a lil more "in depth" than the drumming of Nickle Back oh and I dont know if you have ever heard of a band called "Def Leppard" but their drummer Rick Allen plays with ONE arm. but no biggie , Just sayin. :)

[racestarter88]

@barkerfan182 haha true man. lol and yes, i have heard of def leppard. i listen to rock. lol and i appologize for callin you a dumb shit, i thought you were one of those "regulars" on youtube that do nothing but talk shit. lol my bad =]

[barkerfan182]

@racestarter88 haha its all good man and sorry if I came off sounding shitty I was laughing when i typed it, But no I give the dude credit for being very talented, I kid I use to teach drums to Liked NB and he got to meet the drummer yrs back and the guy was very rude and cocky towards thi kid who was only 14 at the time so I lost alot of respect for him. I never liked the band but I still always give all musicians respect and props they deserve.

[racestarter88]

@barkerfan182 yupp, i agree too. i see your name is barker, soo you must like travis barker. hahaha i think he is a great drummer, but i kinda do think he is over rated. he is really good dont get me wrong, its jus from everyone, travis this, barker that. everyone talks about him all the time. it gets old. haha
