[ThiefRiverFallsTV]

The dirty gay things I would do to you ;)

[BBSroll]

[winterSTU]

Hey Nick! Recently been having some mad foot technique problems out of nowhere, don't know what's going on! Any tips on how to play stuff like 1:26 - 1:30? I used to slide but just can't at the moment, really frustrated D:

[PlanBsk8er999]

@winterSTU thank you for saying that i thought i was the only one that happened to! one day ill be fine then the next day i can't even keep a steady slow double bass pattern! its really irritating. doesn't it feel like you're totally off balance??

[newabortion19]

EH  WOW !!!!!

dude could u pls explain me ur foot technique?

i know they're double strokes

but i just cant get how to play them so solid

=)

[kenny7434]

[blastbeatshaman]

@kenny7434 Come to an Unearth show and we will make that happen! Thanks for watching!



[10eherma]

Nice drummin man. Very sexy snare. What kind is it? it sounds like it's made of walnut! Like Chris Adlers!

[MrGgyytw]

bro, ur heel toe damn sexy!!! I saw many heel toe player use speed cobra, is it good for heel toe?

[skybluclothing]

Dude can you please make a video describing your double bass technique! Its insane man!!! I love your playing..

[Mp5Drummer]

Did you record the song with a different right hand crash by any chance? That sounds WAY too dark and trashy to be that Mb10, surely!

[MIkeness101]

Cobus who?

[BurnThePope0514]

@metallirberator same here, I don't have 18's, just 15's, but dw 5000's have some small footboards

[metalliberator]

god i wish i could heel toe if my damn feet werent a size fuckin 18 or i had the 600 bucks for longboards :/

[LittleManGoesBRUTAL]

awsome drumming and nice creativity!!

[Pantera8920]

Your drumming is AMAZING. Very very tight and well organized. I was just wondering where the original copy of this song " drums only" went???? I used to watch it weekly and tried to find it but couldn't. The new version is still great and great to see the different camera shots but would love it if you could re post the original.

[Pantera8920]

@Pantera8920 No word yet on getting the original reposted?????????????????

[blastbeatshaman]

@Pantera8920 No man it got lost a while ago when I got a new computer and I made the switch from windows to mac. Sorry duder, more vids coming in the future. Thanks for watching!

[drummakid101]

Sounds like a Marching Snare. Super Annoying.

Fucking sick though.

[JobForAGabby]

I love it, just kinda wish the snare wasn't sample noises. your ghosts and strikes would come out better i think.

[6stringedkiller]

... this was done with ONE camera? Meaning to get different shots you had to play the song over and over again? Then you combine the videos and its fucking seamless?!? You're fucking CRAZY

[skatagmt]

so clear sound of the double pedal. love your videos man. gj

[Infloun]

Never knew you played hill to toe, Do you swivel much?

[rwl7532]

I first saw you at the 2010 Seattle GC District Drum-off. You and GT were pretty amazing. At work at Everett Boeing but alas, you don't have email there.

[OrganicTrichome]

Holy Fucking Shit Man that was Amazing!

[eliminshrintar]

You are quite simply one of the most well-rounded and technical drummers I've seen. Absolutely amazing work. Is it weird that I aspire to reach YOUR level of playing instead of all the big names out there on major tours??

Also quick question. Where can we get CTW albums at? I've only made a lighthearted search so far but have turned up nothing.

[blastbeatshaman]

@eliminshrintar Thanks for the kind words man, aspire to whatever works for you! CTW has not released this new material its available in these videos only for the time being. The older stuff is available online somewhere. Where that is, I dont know.

[eliminshrintar]

@blastbeatshaman Well your skills are what works for me. Your control is is both expressive AND machinelike. Can't figure out how you do it. You're pretty much a shiny golden god in my eyes. Been following ya for years now and you NEVER disappoint. Glowing Fanboy comments aside, I kept looking and the only thing I've been able to find is illegally downloading the first album released, which if I'm not mistaken is before you joined the lineup. Nothing else. Can't even pay to have. Sadness...

[axedstoninst]

@blastbeatshaman Anyone that can play the good of a blast beat, or that intense of a song in TRADITIONAL grip deserves the upmost respect. May many women find there way into your bed. lol

[tribaldrummergod]

@eliminshrintar You can buy CTW's first full length on iTunes.

[bodine1975man]

wat hes got four feet wtf?

[ImaPirate83]

it seems like you have an excessive amount of reverb on your snare...probably only seems that way because it's only the drums in this video, though.

[Zofti]

Is it meinl's ride recorded originally? Or is it earth ride?

[blastbeatshaman]

@Zofti Earth Ride

[ameliorate2695]

siiiiick

[locopro661]

muy bueno loko!

[alexaxxem]

why double strokes with the feet?

[DuNordavind]

@alexaxxem Probably the same reasons people would play 'em with their hands!

Aaaaand because Pierce is a smart-arse.

[AswesawLife]

SUBSCRIBED!!!!!

[mikeoliviero]

love it!

[Jelkster]

10/10

[PdPdrums25]

I can't believe how many times I've watched this video this weekend.

You inspire me, man.

[sk8erboy182]

1:02 china sound on crash one :D

[grandolddrummer]

@sk8erboy182 You know what that means? FAKE!!!

[blastbeatshaman]

@grandolddrummer Lol, not fake just more human is all. You cant land a thousand plus hits dead solid all the time!

[grandolddrummer]

@blastbeatshaman I know. I've been following your videos for years. I'm always immensely impressed by your skill and musicianship. I'll bet that making these videos makes you want to buy more cameras, though. I can't imagine doing the same song 7 times (flawlessly) is a labor of love. Especially when jerks come in and call you a faker.

[blastbeatshaman]

@grandolddrummer I appreciate the support brodie! Making these videos forces a drummer to become more consistent for sure. Having one camera and putting a video with multiple takes together only improves your ability to play accurately. But believe me after shooting all this footage in one morning before work makes you feel like a pile of steaming hog shit. Then I wish I had more cameras.

[Santeora]

@blastbeatshaman can i have your autograph?

[ChrisDR]

@grandolddrummer Damn it. Beat me to it. Haha

[ChrisDR]

@sk8erboy182 Yeah I saw that as well. He must be faking it. I should have known it's not possible to be this much of a beast.

[RoloTony69]

what kind of bells are those?

[blastbeatshaman]

@RoloTony69 Read my profile for all my specs! Thanks

[Zofti]

Why don't you ask Meinl for endorsement? You played in The Faceless, you got plenty of your videos on youtube, people are interested in your sound. It might be a good deal, and I think they would easily accept a proposition like that.

[drumr6198ish]

Holy shit I gotta check out the band if this is what you're playing...damn.

[abcmetal]

Sooo nice man, how you got that kick sound? Which module or mic?

[Santeora]

69 likes? LoL =D

[MyShadowLegacy]

Man, you are one of my favourite drummers!!!!

almost all of your videos are flawless... it is unbelievable!! \m/

i love your drumming style... and your way to drum is simply amazing, every time i watch your vid, i just wanna to sit on my drum and play as best i can and play until my arms hurting me!

I hope one day to become good at least half of what you are :) \m/

[hobazzz]

[Sublime692]

WHY

[xXxBuLLeTxXx1]

You kind of remind me of Richard Christy at times, with all the cymbal stuff with the toms haha.

[nubzaquer]

When i grow up I want to be you.

[CharlieShaughnessy]

Jesus Nick. You fuckin rock man. These vids are awesome, I like the multiple camera angles haha!

[kitaschneider]

Mec, tu es une grosse tuerie !!!!! Un monstre de la batterie !

[sohaib785]

incredible!

[PdPdrums25]

I'm pretty sure you're a robot.

[bajs28]

sick!

[Eklund89]

What are the wrist/arm collars for? Wont they prevent proper bloodflow to arms?

[blastbeatshaman]

@Eklund89 I sweat like a yetti and if I don't wear them my palms get wetter than a nun in church. They aren't so tight as to cut off circulation though.

[napalmmice]

@blastbeatshaman Wow. That's sweaty.
