Nicholas Barker drums video!!!!!

[drumgroovy]

Sexy.

[ColdMourning]

That man could play in any band he wanted. With some of the most well known names under his belt, he also has the credentials. Set for life. I think he's every bit as fast and technical as Tim Yeung.

[DancingSpiderman]

WOW.

Jabba kicks ass on drums. I seriously hope the center pole on that throne does pop thru the seat and enter his rectum.  Maybe his drum tech should build Nicholas a suitable hardwood box to sit on.

[Blixish]

Åh faen! Har aldri lagt merke til at han bruker håndleddene på den måten. Mildt sagt imponerende at han ikke har store problemer med leddene! :D

[IceShapedGod]

Gruby, a napierdala :)

[angantyr86]

HIJO DE MIL PUTAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG­HHHHHHHHH!!!. Blast beat with two foots... i'm a little dissapointed... Laureano you are the man.

[06DaniFilth]

When was this clip taken? I mean which tour was it?

[Jugolbrazowy]

Blessings Upon The Throne of Tyrrany!!

[thispagesux]

why are there not more videos of nick. a drummer of his caliber shud have 100's of vids. i would pay to see studio footage of nick recording stuff from death cult. nick showed me that you can play at insane tempos and still be creative and interesting.

[Xezs]

@EveryonePickedMyName Whoever listens to Slipknot he doesn't know who Nick Barker is. If this person tells you the opposite, he's lying.

[Arcturus420]

Nick Barker's rolls, blast beats and double bass are only rivaled by a few!

[GuidoMetallo]

I prefer his style to hellhammers by far

[ak74srthebest0909]

quit saying hes fat!!!!!! I dont give a fuck if my drummer was 500 pounds if he played drums like that I wouldnt give a shit!

[ak74srthebest0909]

that guy is an incredible drummer!

[Silenoz1991]

@Zebbe190 i heared he once was unable to go rehearsing with them because he didnt fit through the door of their practice room.

[lateralus1007]

@Silenoz1991 that's funny because over in european countries, stuff is smaller and petite unlike America where we cater to fatties.

[BaneOvExistance]

Nick Barker is the man. I wish he was still in Dimmu and OMC....he did his best work with those guys. I miss his chubby arse. Those fills, those blasts...that ungodly cymbal work. No surprise why he is my favorite

[thegoatkrist]

check out "six million dead drum cam" sick ass drumming

[slaytanicslayton]

I saw him with dimmu borgir at house of blues hollywood few years ago,he is a fat bastard but he's a fucking incredible drummer.

I was watching him most of the time he's insane

[iamcharliecooper]

Shook this man's hand at Fear Factory in Wolves last month. He looked genuinely surprised that someone had recognised him. That made me respect him even more, plus the fact he was buying the support band's merch with a £50...

[ShanLoveXiarmaine]

eventhough he is fat, bald or whatever..

but nothing can take his talent

[cjd100e9]

This guy maybey my fav drummer ever!  Marthus, Barker, Kolias, for extreme metal. Always wondered why he never had any dvds' or at least a website or something. Hmm..

[EYExSORE]

awesome!

[johnarm01]

Nick Barker is the man.

And all the Haters can go suck a dick!!!!

[danevati]

I already do and what?!

[jmon51342088]

Its hard to believe that this guy lives near manchester uk haha

[Daveylux2012]

What the hell does this guy eat every morning to drum like this

FUCK SAKE

Hes great

[demonsgate66]

the best drummer of extreme metal !!

[ljoekelsoey4]

hes somewhat fuckin better as well! :)

[MetallicGod07]

Damn! He's INSANE!

[ritual3]

wasnt he from cradle of filth?

[juanduran1927]

Yes, he was!!!

[six6sixpounder]

How the fuck can he do that all night, and still be fat :S

[FoSbaKiaS]

@six6sixpounder its called coce!

[Failhaid]

@six6sixpounder

i guess...drinking much much Beer could be a reason^^

[master64k]

@six6sixpounder lol

[BEEGER1]

@six6sixpounder Beer. Lots and lots of beer...

[khaostheory117]

@BEEGER1 don't forget greasy food lol

[drakonimetal]

@six6sixpounder He eat a bull in each day.

[Colisholi]

@six6sixpounder every human being is adaptable. Evolution is a great sign of that :)

[MikeAsHimself]

@six6sixpounder Gene Hoglan.

[favsncrap]

@six6sixpounder I woudlnt like him anymore if he lost weight and wasnt northern .. HE IS THE MAN!

[STNEIDERIN]

:DDD

solo ejercita muñecas, tobillos.....

[Garnacher]

@STNEIDERIN Y engorda ;)

[sieverst]

barker i love you my fat drummer

[dvindeka]

He walked past my tent at Bloodstock and told me it smelt like burning churches :)

[blindedbydarkness]

I lol'd

hahahaha

[kamikazi445]

eh maybe if i liked heavy metal

[blindedbydarkness]

whatever, look at those speeds, the technique and the energy. It's guite impressive, ain't it??

[kamikazi445]

lol still...

[Chupoklon]

@blindedbydarkness his drumming impresses me just on base of physical motion. there's no feel, no rythm, no metric and metric changes. you can hear much more quality in 70's prog and psych rock bands. nick barker was at his best on principle of evil made flesh, because it wasn't all just speed slamming on drums.

[BEEGER1]

@Chupoklon Dude, I've watched Nick during soundchecks...he can do polyrhythms at 230bpm, and his cymbal riffage is right up there with '70s prog. He's great. I wish he could find a stable gig.

[primusbadger]

i'm not a metal guy either... but you still have to give him props

[Zullia]

Holy fucking shit Oo

Sounds just as the recording, amazing accuracy

[jj17666]

I'm selling 2 of nick barkers AXIS shortboards for £250 on ebay but it wont let me put the link on here so you'll have to serch for them

Thank you

Jason

[jj17666]

fucking amazing

[Octavarium000]

Holy crap, look at that fat bastard go!

[SHAGRATH72366]

nick is a fucking amazing drummer when he was in dimmu borgir he was fast and really good then hell hammer took over they shouyld of kepted nick

[YanusDV]

And you are a fucking moron

[YanusDV]

This guy´s playing is fucking clean. Every hit is were it´s supposed to be, and that´s something only pros can do.

Truly in the elite (along others like kollias, derek, HH, Inferno, Flo, Hoglan, and there´s more) of the metal drumming community

[Betrion]

you didnt mention Horgh hehe

[SupermansWheelchair1]

Your nasty

[FurbyParade226]

Yes, you can compare drummers m8. I compare drummers in speed, coordination and creativity. I give speed to Mr. Barker..coordination to Mr. Portnoy..and creativity to Brann Dailor.

[CrustgrinderGBG]

You are Great

Mr. Barker

[metheoros]

world would't be the same without blastbeat

[juuhaa1]

Blastbeat rules! :)

[OrangeApple41]

I saw this guy the other day, at a Talent Show, he came as a professional drummer to be one of the judges, but he was very critical XD Awesome drummer though!

[rubs1389]

Bastard ! I want to meet him !

[Pearlbrk]

har du resten av videoen??

[blindedbydarkness]

Sorry mac! Skulle gjerne sett mer selv...

[CiaranFoyzer]

his tits wobble along to double bass drum

[Sargatha]

My fav drummer right there. He is awesome.

[Freerange99]

SO sick... Proud to have him as an ENglishman representing black metal

[Visurit]

Cradle of filth? -_-

so many english metal bands

[DarthNako]

Barker played for Filth before he played for Dimmu :P

[Visurit]

thus further proving my point. >___>

[FiReFeeT666]

hes fuckin tweakin off like 12 eight-balls

[Driever1981]

Look at George Kollias (Nile's drummer) he's quite skinny, at least not muscular at all. I'm not a drummer, i play guitar.

I don't think you have to be strong to be a good drummer. You need endurance.

But then, even though he's fat, i think he's pretty strong!!

And when you drum as much as he does, your arms aren't fat, and won't affect the drumming in any way. I Think.

[nergalzoskiacultus]

fuckin' great!!!!

[TheIntellegentRetard]

he's so amazing at blast beats...but c'mon everyone's thinking it...what the fuck would he be like 30 pounds lighter and a bit stronger?!?!

[webbtje]

He'd be Gene Hoglan without the long hair.

[blindedbydarkness]

Pure muscle strength is not becessarliy a plus when it comes to drumming. I don't think his fat affects the playing very much,..

[TheIntellegentRetard]

yeah I sppose he isn't moving his arms much...

[webbtje]

If he played stuff that actually had dynamics, it would be more important.

[hotburnette101]

he mite be fat but he is definatly "feelin' the music and can playyyyy the drums

[mafiaalentejana]

ex baterista de cradle nao ha hipotese !!!!!

[malfarius]

que bestia tio!!!!!!!

[Subrick]

I never realized how fat he was. Still, killer drummer.

[aceshigh436]

what drums does he use? Tama?

[blindedbydarkness]

I think he use a Premier kit in this clip, but he switched to Pearl a while later. Not sure which series or other specs...

[solidforms]

he uses pearl

[blindedbydarkness]

Keep that shit for yourself.

[neongreen5]

Drumline drummers can play baby got back, they can't blast for 30 minutes, I would love to see a non-deathmetal drumline drummer play this, I really would.

[bsb8919]

any1 who was on the drumline in high school can do THE EXACT same thing on a drum set...not that impressed guys.

hes really just doing rolls

[blindedbydarkness]

I don't think they learn to play fast double bass and playing extreme metal in a band setting. Two VERY diferent things, both are fast, but still very different ways to play.

[atrbdm9]

You must be ignorant.

So you're saying I should sign up for drumline so I can become a sick death metal drummer? I wish it was that easy lol.

Sure maybe I could blast that fast, but I'd never blast as fast as some metal drummers out there...look at Lord Marco or Dave Suzuki

[blindedbydarkness]

Speed or not. The most important is the feel, you don't learn the way to play extreme metal in a drum line, of course.

[HuugaNeji]

the sound is way out of sync.

[BaneOvExistance]

Dave suzuki isnt that good ov a drummer...yeah he's decent but on the albums they sped up the drum tracks.

Zack Gibson ex drummer for dahlia told me that haha

[DCLXVl]

epic

[Anravezt]

kl waton

[opperjosti]

shit is mostly in your ass not in your mouth

[Zita696]

I THINK HE WAS WITH CRADLE OF FILTH ONCE

[civil1guy]

Yes, he was with Cradle of Filth for four albums.

[JesusTehNinja]

goddammit that'd be awesome if they had him, they have marthus, but Nick Barker + Cradle = EPIC!

[BrodieFBM]

He played on Dusk..and her embrace and Cruelty and the beast.

[johnarm01]

I lost all respect for Dimmu after they kicked Barker out!

Now I just download their albums!

[BloodPython67]

After seeing this video and listening to Old-ish Dimmu borgir-I will always have a new respect for fat people.

[dannyboi9891]

hahahahaha best....call....ever

[DimmuSvera]

hail satan, he's one of my favorite drummers as well as Hellhammer, Inferno, Frost, hope I can play as good as this guys

[chinpocoman1]

damn finally someone who knows ...yup thats right man ...yer forgetting a few more but i get the idea haha take care man

[Nilf666]

fat mother fucking bastard xD

[TRANNQ]

mother fucking amazing

[opticon91]

that fatty plays faster than my scrawny friend.

Nick Barker is the shit! He'll always have my respect.

[nightstarchild]

Yet you use the term "fatty". Strange.

[opticon91]

I did it to insult my scrawny friend not Nick Barker.

[Pearlbrk]

does anybody know a longer clip of this??!!!

[dahaka136]

oh.my.god. nick barker is a drum god. people say "he's just playing fast" but its got a lot of technicality to it too!

[killster619]

nick easily kills any death metal drummer although inferno and the drummer from nile are fucking sick drummers i wounder who would win between those 3 drummers???

[RWIron]

IS THIS MUSIC?

[qwertylolocaust]

if you dont like it, dont comment. youre just trying to stir something up. your life must be pretty boring if you purposely stir things up on the internet, i feel sorry for you.

fucking owned.

[PopulationOverride]

fucking agreed that he got fucking owned.

[opperjosti]

dude who filmed this? you?

[blindedbydarkness]

Nono. I downloaded this from LimeWire many years ago. I don't think I was the first to upload it here on youtube either.

[opperjosti]

well he's fucking fast. Nice vid

PS. try drumming the sacreligious scorn from in sorte diaboli

[arabsphere]

this clip is from their dvd dude.. title 'World Misantrophy'.. =)

[zakkah93]

the walrus

[metallikuh520]

wow the speed is impressive but he sucks.

[blindedbydarkness]

Sucks...Please explain what makes him suck? :p

[Dazoo666]

+1 Curious to know why he sucks in you opinion aswell.

[simonthedragon]

Make that +2

[onthebridge98]

I understand. Although he's fast, he's not original, nor, in my opinion, does it actually sound that cool. It's just a guy drumming really, really fast.

[atrbdm9]

This video is from a long time ago. He's a lot better now (he usually plays something one step above his level, and that makes him improve very quickly)

In this video he's obviously struggling to play this song, but just a few months later he could play it easily.

[jsjazz3d]

So it makes me think -"Oh.. holy fuck, how many years he's been practicing"

[dabadumb]

hey, its that the travis barker's brother????

[blindedbydarkness]

Haha...I hope that was a joke

[xxConstantinosxx]

no, nicholas barker is from england, they're not realted

[GOD666DimEbag666GOD]

im met him about 2 hours ago with ted maul. hes a very funny bloke.

[xMontyxx]

I'm a bit fattix on the side he gives me inspiration that the more fat the more speed xD

[Alfrock2535]

Yes, yes, just fuck yeah! Nicholas Barker is the best metal drummer all over the world, i've said that 1000 times, but some people do not apreciate, no doubt, Mr. Barker is the number one.

[gorelock69]

yeah,

nicholas is actually a bit better than hellhammer.

i mean, you really cant compare Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia to In Sorte Dioboli, because theyre two TOTALLY different albums.

but the overall style of barker is alot better.

and i hate when im talking about nicholas barker and people are like "dont you mean travis barker?"

no. i mean the most baddest ass drummer on the earth. travis barker is a shithead dumbass that makes people think he knows how to play.

[Incisionator]

besides, Travis could easily fit inside the real Barker .. twice ..

[xxConstantinosxx]

LMAO

[godofdrums]

This guy is amazing. And I love the splash fill. Just perfect!

[ExoPolitic1]

DANG!!!

[tfbfmusic]

GO BACK TO DIMMU.

hellhammer dosent do it quite like you Mr. Barker.

LULZ

[HeinrichNidhogg]

Wow, how can you be so fat, and move so fast?!

He always amazed me!

[beartrapped]

so fat and awesome

[bobbaay]

he was better when he played for cradle of filth

[Sjamsucks]

Not really....

The maelstrom mephisto was probably his best song.

[clichesellouthater]

I've allways thought that really good musicians can inspire other musicians who play different instruments. I play guitar and I defiantly feel that way about this guy, Nick is so amazing.

[polahrussian]

Best Drumers are fat ^^

like me... ^^

[DamnShoe]

Actually Nick is known to be the first odd drummer because he adds beats a beat which makes it hard to cover his drumming

[izual00985]

blessings upon the throne of tiranny!!!!!!!, killer

[kevimogt]

I had the great pleasure of meeting and working with Nick Barker a short while ago. Apart from his unbelieveable talent on the kit, he was one of the nicest, most self-effacing, down-to-earth guys I've met. So anyone on here who has anything derogatory to say about him - go fuck yourselves.

[maniac2011]

some give barker a hard time he did great on the recordings and does truly great on many concerts. however sometimes he seems to make/play stuff he can baaaarely pull off wich sometimes sounds bad.

5 stars for nick yeh

[5tigma]

I wonder why he can't lose weight when he plays that fast, ha-ha:)

[emislipknot]

if he were a little more slim, at best move would cost a little less;)

[drawnacrol]

fucking insane,I nearly crapped myself when I was watching the DVD for the first time

[CptSicarius]

he is quite fat ^^ but good

[gauchofromhell]

His drumming is awesome, but for God Sake put a T shirt on man!

[DimmuSvera]

he is a brutal drummer, but in my opinion Inferal from Behemoth and Hellhammer form Mayhem are faster, altough nick is really fucking fast tohse blast beats are unreacheable

[Erock5718]

its inferno from behemoth

[eatrush]

double bass precisión :O

[derossi13]

hes a good drummer, ans a really nice guy, i met him 3 months ago, to talk about drums, really friendly man ;)

[blindedbydarkness]

wow, that's cool man. What did he say?

[luigiermadurinn]

the first thing that comes to mind is FUCK!

[joiner19236]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA I thought the same thing hahaha

[baalbelphegor]

i would say most of what you said is right including that he is a fucking tight drummer, but i must say, i don't know a lot of drummers faster than him. longstreth and decrepit birth's guy, and of course a few others i haven't listed, but nick is a fucking robot accuracy-wise
