Nick Pierce-Snare Grooves and metal Improv

[randomvideoman87]

i.. you're.....AHHHHH *boom head splosion*

[FeeLtheHertZ]

Dude make more Drum 'n Bass vids!!! Also, how much did this frickin' setup cost? Looks sick! Also, that floor tom looks placed closely for trad. grip, is that the case?

[FeeLtheHertZ]

Why do you prefer trad. over matched? Just curious, because I feel way more comfortable using matched, but I dig the complexity of trad. Do you feel super comofortable w/ trad., and how long did it take you to feel this way (if you do?)?

[DRAG0NSIN7]

The most unusual drum sizes ive seen a metal drummer use...... 8 10 14?!?!?!?

[fingerskatewtf]

your whole kit sounds perfect how do you tune your toms to sound like that

[nikkmp3]

try world

[MrDRUMRBOY]

very good man.

[aarondrumss]

dude u got groove. fucken sick :)

[atticusspc]

[PlanBsk8er999]

[morganchavis]

Seeing you play makes me want to play drums again. You're a beast.

[brendanvdrums]

[Kivip44]

His chops are simply incredible. I'm blown away.

[Dragonwatcher2008]

Wow like a thunderstorm!!!

[666quebec666]

[mrburgermanful]

[kiahnis]

uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaa AMAZING!

[BBSroll]

did u make the shells

[timma1]

Now plays for culling the weak.

Check my vids, i just uploaded a vid of him playing with them live.

[veileen89]

Why did he leave the Faceless?

[Speiknor]

Ive never seen a drummer being able to flash all that impressive speed and agility, but at the same time being groovy, original and musical as hell. This is seriously good.

[dfurnaridrummer]

snare sounds amazing. and sick ass tight and fast playing as always

[xmetalgearx]

OWNS~~

[DrummersRock23]

Wow man, your kit looks so good to play in this video! I want it!

[xxpbdudexx]

How does he do that swell at :38?

[DrummersRock23]

@xxpbdudexx

I'm pretty sure that it's just a cymbal that's still ringing.

[xxpbdudexx]

Oh... I've heard something like that in a few songs, but always wondered how to do it.

[Necronaut]

with one hand and his double bass

[CJ12591]

Badass dude, Unix is the master of stave

[magicmusic95]

the beat from 1:30 onwards is fucking funked out dude!

[JimmySullivanJunior]

Bubinga,.... shit's hard to find.

[jahkoz]

my other favorites are anything from Buddy Rich, The 2007 drum off winner Donny Marple, anything from Matt Greiner of August Burns Red, Derek Roddy, and Jo Jo Mayer i dont think he is human sometimes...

the fact that this guy plays traditional like Jo Jo is sick

[jahkoz]

Im gonna have to say that this is probably the best and most innovative performance ive ever seen to date by a drummer on Youtube...

Hands Down... this guy im pretty sure owns alot of drummers out there...

Your band is sick too Eterna Nocturna

[losingsighthxc]

Dude, I dig your style. So fresh!

[rhythmac]

Damn dude! Keep that shit up!

[music5931]

does the shell pack is a ludwing?

[noloveforthescene]

dude you keep on getting better and better, blowing my mind every time. amazing

[jennlinx]

are u in a band or what????

come on get that shit out there

[bobsilver5]

Not to mention you're a great player!

[bobsilver5]

That snare sound is god

[huntermccartyney]

Man you are a beast.

[FearsBecomePhobias]

what ride is he using in ths vid? it sounds amazing

[music5931]

@FearsBecomePhobias

I think is a zildjian Z3 medium heavy ride

[joeyhoeyca]

hands down, prolly one of the top 10 or even 5 drummers on youtube.

[sumstufflol]

I detect marco minneman influence around 3:15.

Amazing shit dude.

[Lawlbunnies]

marco is the shit and so is this guy.

[spikeman23]

snare sounds awesome , and i'm usuallynot a fan of 13'' inch snares

[slipknot938337338]

okay

this guy is amazing

nuff said.

[Norther219]

Nick Pierce is part of the Friendship Force, it says so on his shirt at 4:26

[JPsHoRtY411]

[Ramen1020]

[JPsHoRtY411]

[97567871321579581758]

[indaina2004]

11,800th view haha.

[SinisterSkip]

Correction: one of the coolest non-professional (by everyone known) drumsolo's on youtube I've ever heard. Subscribing right now :)

[SinisterSkip]

Awesome playing, loved it

[mrthatguy613]

[drumsbasix]

[drumsbasix]

[miiiiic]

that's some very talented drumming

[dowapbambutt]

why do you use traditional?

[Lawlbunnies]

not sped up, the cymbals and shit come back to rest at normal pace.

[alemutasa]

It seems speed up....

[kanyeeast99]

it's not, can garanti you, just sick skills

[DrPepperJKM]

...god damn....that was good. I want a unix snare so bad.

sick groove man.

[zackulous]

damn..

all i gotta say.

BTW you are one tall dude in real life.

lol

great playing with you.

[DoubleBass94]

YOU ARE THE BEST YOUTUBEDRUMMER

[TheUltim8Apocalypse]

I've never seen anyone play like that traditional grip. I can't do anything but a simple ACDC beat traditional, and I have 3 SCPA and 3 WGI gold medals playing snare in my drumline

(and another gold medal from each circuit playing tenors)

very impressive, sick grooves, nice homeade kit, can't wait to see more

[xZaCloudx]

oh my god!

[AHillFL]

[amurphy111]

[thetna]

3:00-3:22 = awesome!

[19raven88]

1:22 Nice!!

[thismercifulfate]

Lets see you play a shuffle and make it swing hard.

[paistedw762]

[AndJusticeParaMi]

mike portnoy....set up.....hahaha

[Zerosk8rman0]

Ive only seen you play live once in portland. but dude. youre by far one of the best drummers alive. damn...

[DieStinkendeSonne]

1:26 geil.

[DrummerMike666]

3:11 ... great beat! awesome!

[Arthemesic]

Okay that does it! I just got a new favourite drummer! :OOO

[ASkylit25]

this is seriously,

probably the best metal drummer.

he's just so technical and he has more styles than most metal drummers. he just writes hella good

[metallicarox9]

Yeah Unix!

Frank can make some killer stuff can't he!

[lazypookie]

You have a great symbol set up. And the style to use them all. I hate when people have a ton of them and barely use any.

[DrummerInTheHead]

check out "4espritdrummer" omg its just too far his cymbal setup :|

[blastbeattom66]

lol..............

[Snoddy91]

freak nasty.

[MelodicDrum]

[inmyglassprison]

[jonaj222]

Wow!! Thats was awesome man!!

You are INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[afrokidguitarist]

wasnt he in The Faceless?

cuz ive read he was xD

amazing drummer too also heard he actually left The Faceless to try out for Black Dhalia Murder.......why? maybe the members of The Faceless werent very kind....but I Personally dont like Black Dhalia Murder and say that The Faceless has More Talent than BDM

[inmyglassprison]

he was definitely in the faceless, and i LOVE the faceless. i was disappointed to see him leave the band...

[dowapbambutt]

akaldama had 6 different drummers on it nick was one and from what i gather he was with the band in their demo stages and toured with them least once

[thewritingofmatthew]

how did you make your drums?

[TheBubbanaterlolz]

i never really noticed this but near the end your playing with your sticks turned around and then you switch it with a flip. i think thats pretty cool!

[zachypwns]

that set is so sexy! you made it?!

[philruss666]

smoth

[MrFreeman420]

is it just me or do some of the best drummers plays traditional?

[mynameisadam1526]
