the music is hot but, the singer has to grow on me. nice production nick

[KappinAc]

ok Catalyst so basically you think what you think that is good, what else do you have to say that is of any intelligence, just because he has mad power, does not mean he cannot play softer or with less licks, so chill out bud. NICK God bless play from where he put his blessing in your heart and your soul. P.S: I am still practicing man, speed and accuracy its alot of work. Take Care.

[catalystdrums123]

[bunncat40]

hey whats the name of this song?

[solavanmotman]

One word!! AWESOME!!!

[thaclancyfam]

Everyone knows how sick Nick is. I want to know, who was on the rodes? Is that Chris Rock on the bass? LOL. I'm just playing. I read that the bass player is Nick's brother and the organist is Nick's mom.  What are there names?

[starhickman]

I know this is old but the bass player is his cousin Chris Brown and the organist is his aunt Christa. She actually taught them and they're all multitalented. Chris can play the drums and keys just as good as he can the bass. And they all can sing! Don't know if they have any shackband posts but try them...

[thaclancyfam]

Thanks for the info. God bless

[JrUmAboi]

yo 9:34 sounds just like aaron spears.

[crimjqt83]

IM SO OVER AARON SPEARS

[faith2young]

Godbless all ya'll and stay humble!

[cedricchiles]

He has endorsements.

DO YOU?

[TheLastPictureShow]

Lay off him- he's right. This kid is not the second coming. He's very, very, very good- but there's also plenty of room for improvement in his playing. Not everything he plays is tasteful or suited to the context of the music he's playing. As for endorsements-

there are plenty of drummers out there who don't have endorsements who should- that's the business. Using that as some measure of one's technical proficiency or musicality, however- is absurd.

[johnpeace99]

quit hatin.. the lil dude is the truth

[chosenD]

you right T.L.P.S. you aint hating!!!

[anointedpreacher]

Shack M.T represent! Keep doin' ya thang. Much love from New Haven COGIC!

[akienaandjoel]

mad love to him and fam.he's one sick little dude.i've learned some stuff!!!

[adajian]

man u are really good man, i have to say that i am going to keep an eye out for you for real man but keep up the good work and keep doing your thang man

[iyamaworshiper]

Oh yeah, for yall who dont know LOL, His name IS Nicholas Smith, but anyone who knows him, knows he has ALL them nicknames as nick, nate, and mark, lol dont ask, ... so I understand why is gets confused, but Lamont told alot of people call him by those names, but just keep nick lol... plus anyone like nick and chris, the Kid prodigies of the LA area are always going to have all kinds of nick names... much love to yall ...

[iyamaworshiper]

Yeah, thats my peops LOL... I LOVE Chris though, I love him especially on DA Keys have yall heard him?... lol lovely

[harriseman06]

that's his brother on bass and mother on the organ.

[Drummaboii90]

hey wat up man dats sum hard playin i enjoy it ur playing imma try 2 put myself up there so u can see my skilz too its a blessin to see anova young brotha playin at such a young age i've been playin ever since '97

[SupermanStandifer]

My mans on the bass is sweet.

[alazaruz]

Oh yea this is a shout out from Yo Cuzins Chris and Justin out here in Bellflower. Keep killin cuz. Sup Pook!

[alazaruz]

Yo both my cuzins there are sick (Nick and Chris) They even sicker now and it's barely been a year or so. And trust me fellas nick can keep time with the HH's when he feels like it, but it really depends on what the song calls for.

[MOSes020]

hey that bassplayer pretty solid

[Da60DollaBill]

dat boi hot on da drums is dat a gurl on organ if dat iz she hot

[bammin36]

AND another thing brotha meestro i understand the words consrtuction but honest i think you know nothing about playing drums at a BLACK CHURCH the approach is totally different then any other style of drumming NO ONE playing drums in a church keeps time with their hi hats while doing a fill the time is kept with feeling, pulse, and COMING BACK IN ON THE 1

[meestro]

You'd be wrong in that assumption. Russel Batiste Jr.(Funky Meters, PBS) employs the same style, but knows how to keep time, and feel. If you lose track of time and feel in a fill, aka stray away from the groove, then you're also losing the sway of the crowd. Another drummer to look into who would agree is JD Blair.

[manb4war]

This is "praise" music it's primary purpose to fuel the "spirit" of the worship service. The preacher is closing his sermon referred to as the "hoop" a rhythmic cadence accented by the musicians. Notice ALL the musicians focus on the preacher, because this is improvised each sermon. You'll see the organist give the other two instructions because they are moving to the altar call selection. This isn't entertainment it's worship.

[manb4war]

Playing the cymbals in this fashion helps keep the energy high in the service. If you've never been to a church like this then you won't understand what you're hearing.

[Aplustradomus]

You said it bro..thats high energy..The bass is locked tho..

[mrking15]

Yes it is!!!!

[bammin36]

Number 1 his name is NICK but yeah lil cousin you're smashing hard

[jayjon04]

Keep reppin Nate. You sick.

[dtTOAST]

dont be jealous

[Rawbiznes]

I remember this song from GMWA

[harriseman06]

Yeah this is ma cuzin tearin it up and for anyone who hates on this dude just stop cuz what's the use he can't hear u.
