System Of A Down - Lost In Hollywood

[AxeManirish]

Go to your address bar, after the word YOU and before the word TUBE, type in "win" then press enter

[Creptazoid]

This is real good, but you need to work on holding a beat on the slow parts.

[Nihoggr]

@Creptazoid

Thank you for your comment!

I believe that since this video, I have evolved somewhat in keeping up with the tempo generally. There's still a lot to improve on, but I don't feel like I've been stuck to the same skill level for years :)

[Creptazoid]

@Nihoggr Oh jesus, I really should start looking at when the videos i watch were posted..my apologies xD

Nevertheless, very well done

[confusedfbi]

1:33 awesome!!!!!!!!!! 2:25ish even better!!!

[Nihoggr]

@confusedfbi

Thanks, glad you liked it so much!

[confusedfbi]

1:33 awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[080Henrik080]

very nice, what kinda cymbals do u use?

[Nihoggr]

@080Henrik080 Hey, thanks for asking! I shot a video of my kit, showing what cymbals and drums I used to have in it (it's grown in size these days). You can find that video from my channel, if you dare to browse for it :P But I can also try and remember here... I think I used 18" Meinl Classics china, 12" Meinl Classics china splash and some cheap Paiste series (502?) 18" china. From Sabian: 20" B8 Pro ride 18" AAX Metal crash 16" AAX Metal crash 16" AA Metal-X crash 14" B8 Pro hi-hat

[080Henrik080]

@Nihoggr nice, i'll check it out :]

[Nihoggr]

@080Henrik080

Ok :)

[modder1208]

Great job. As a drummer I see you having lots of potential. Most people think drumming is about pounding out the beats, but for the critics of drummers, remember this, a drummer is a multi-tasker. We are the original multi taskers and bringing it all together into a sweet SOAD cover, is something MOST people can never do. GJ bro. sounds pretty strait.

[Nihoggr]

@modder1208

Well thank you indeed!

Your words are well said and wise! Thank you very much for your comment and I'm glad to hear you didn't think it was too awful :)

[SCIRIEAIM]

Your ride, crash, snare, and china sound perfect with this song

[Nihoggr]

@SCIRIEAIM

I'm really happy to hear you liked the drum components! I was (strangely) very satisfied with how the ride and china sounded.

[TheMilka91]

love this song. i really like your performance ;]

[Nihoggr]

@TheMilka91

Thanks, glad to know you liked it :)

[berborable]

Good idea for a great song. Beat choice ( distribution and sound ) does not integrate the melody very much, sound quality, note, tempo, sound mix ALL need serious work. Conclusion : No offense but sounds like a good amateur leisure idea.

[Nihoggr]

@berborable

Thanks for your analysis, I enjoyed it :) No offense taken.

[MarOux01]

OMG ! AWSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOME Man !!!! 5/5

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, thank you very much!

[metalthorn00]

it sounds pretty good. but you shouldn't play the drums at the beginning. i like the rest of it. :D (focus!!!) - 4.5 stars

[Nihoggr]

Yeah, "focus" is the key word :D I get too easily distracted and pass the time by playing something unfitting while waiting for the drums to start.

[EspadachimRafa]

oh my god G_G'

you win

[Nihoggr]

Hahaha, thanks!

[lordvanthom]

brunobb1 is right

don't play in songs when there is no drumset playing too

but very good cover anyway ;)

[Nihoggr]

Yes, he is.

Sorry and thanks for your comment!

[brunobb1]

you shouldn't play the parts where it's only suposed to be playing the guitar and the vocals, it kinda ruins the song

[Nihoggr]

Yes, I understand and I'm sorry :)

[brunobb1]

ah sorry for being so boring anyways xD

[Nihoggr]

Hmmh? You weren't boring.

I meant earlier that I get bored with just sitting behind the kit and not doing anything :P

[pandanck]

im like more this version than the second but the two are great keep the good work

[Nihoggr]

Ok good to know that, thank you! :)

[zamoraserge]

man you rock!!

[Nihoggr]

Thank you, very kind :)

If you liked this version, I believe you are able to find from my newer videos a second (and hopefully better) cover of this song. That being if YouTube hasn't deleted it.

[Hayundso]

Good Job ! awesome

[Nihoggr]

Thank you! :P

[ItTastesLikeJAM]

the beginning sucks! but then its perfekt!

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, I understand! Thanks.

[ErminaPav]

almost perfect! :)

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, happy to hear that!

[ErminaPav]

yw :)

[tisbales]

not bad dude good try! keep it up.

[Nihoggr]

Thank you, I will :)

[Bubblessupersamsh123]

Ha... horror

[Nihoggr]

Yeah, what is up with this "horror"? :D Is it the new thing to say?

Well, sorry anyways. Can't please them all, 'eh?

[ShulerStudios3211]

umm....ok

[Nihoggr]

??? :)

[Maluketsz321]

Sorry about my english (i'm br), but...you aren't that bad...I mean... I don't know why but...I liked! In some points it is fine :)

[Nihoggr]

Thanks! This isn't that good of a performance, but I uploaded a new version of this not too long ago and it was slightly better. Not perfect, but still better than this :)

And no need to apologize for your English.

[jack199711]

ur shitsucker

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, well thank you!

[thestyledrum]

horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nihoggr]

You mean "o' the horror" or what? I'm confused.

[capnmorgan4]

im sorry but plz practice. as a diehard system of a down fan i cant listen to this man. im sure u are a decent drummer but please dont play system unless ur gonna nail it spot on. lose the improv stuff and ull be fine. not tryin to be rude but a little practice would make u sound much better :)

[Nihoggr]

Hmm, well your request contradicts other people's requests as they want me to do some of these songs. So sorry, but you are just going to have to avoid my videos then :)

Also, I cannot lose my improvisation 'cause it's such a huge part of my playing style.

I made a new version of this cover, it's my latest video. I think it went slightly better than this old one.

[murderer654]

well, but the last part (3:56 to 5:00) it's better.

i like it :D

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, glad you found some solace for it (and yourself)! :D

I might do this cover again, if I ever get my software to function.

[murderer654]

i think it would be better! :D

Do it!

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, I will try!

[murderer654]

in some parts, it sounds really bad.. :S

[Nihoggr]

Mmmkay :)

[teamhayastan]

oh man, dude that was pretty bad, the cymbals sound terrible, what cymbals are u using, and the improvs aren't good, how long have u been playing tell me ur a beginner please, then I'll understand

[Nihoggr]

Currently I've been playing about 7 years now :)

Whatwhat, you dare to challenge my cymbals?!

No, but seriously... The reason they might sound bad is 'cause I recorded this whole ordeal with the camera's built- in microphone.

But if you are interested of my cymbals etc., you can browse through my videos for a vid called "Tour Through My Set". It shows all my stuff in more detail.

[harrydrama2]

well that's not very good for a non beginner... but in some points it is fine and your sabian cybals are nice!!!!

[Nihoggr]

Yeah, I know I'm not that good.

But I love my cymbals and I'm happy to hear someone else also likes them!!

[4swrds]

I think you should do this drum cover again...no offense it sounds great but Im sure you could make it much better with practice

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, no offence taken. Maybe I'll do it someday... Maybe someday :)

[aaxplotion]

Can't you do the ghost notes with one hand? When you use both hands the hi-hat doesn't sounds and it sounds very bad. Besides the "add-ons" you made are way too out of the "feeling" of the song

[Nihoggr]

No, sorry but I can't :( I've tried to learn them the right way for the past weeks and it sounds utter crap :)

The way I play them here is the only way I know how to play them for now.

I thought I was really feeling the song with some of my improvised stuff, though it may sound/ seem too much sometimes. Sorry, that it wasn't a pleasing performance and thanks for commenting.

[TheFroman421]

SWEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nihoggr]

Thanks!! :D

[kaneXtreme]

Not bad at all. Got other SOAD drum covers ?

[Nihoggr]

Thanks. There are several mistakes but they aren't always so noticeable.

I've got a a few more covers from S.O.A.D., just browse through my older videos (around the same time as this one). I have Vicinity Of Obscenity, B.Y.O.B., Cigaro and This Cocaine blabla covered here.

[silvisary]

sei bravo,ok,ma stecchi da paura,poi,sti piatti,mettici qualke sordina se vuoi suonare su una song.......nooo,azzo,si sentre toppo sti piatti!!!!!!!cala,cmque sei grandissimo,bravo,il mio era solo un consiglio,x il resto la suoni un gran bene la batteria,baci,sara

[Nihoggr]

Oh no... I'm terribly sorry but cannot understand a word out of your long comment. If you would be willing to translate it, I would highly appreciate it!

[PuReV3ng3nc3]

i have now sent freind request and most S.O.A.D songs are hard eg lost in hollywood and takes courage to cover well done

[Nihoggr]

Hey thanks, I received it! Yeah S.O.A.D. songs are not easy to play, they are good stuff to practice with.

Thanks again :)

[PuReV3ng3nc3]

Dude words don't describe for my love of SOAD and guess what youve gone and done rienforced that!! i loved it i love the song and your really good!! Accept my freind request ill watch more of yah vids =D

[Nihoggr]

Thank you, very nice to hear that my cover has been pleasing enough for a big fan of S.O.A.D., such as yourself :)

I haven't received your friend request? Or what are you talking about? :D

Thank you very much for watching!

[PleiadianTinter]

far out, dude!

[Nihoggr]

Appreciate it, thanks.

[trinityboi99]

no offense but thisabolsutly sucks. i know kids with complete down syndrome that can do better

[Nihoggr]

Thanks. But I don't think the kids you know, that have Down syndrome, don't appreciate you comparing them to the better of me.

Also, I would very much like to see this remarkable act!

[LebaneaseRebel]

FREAKIN AWSOME DUDE!!!

[Nihoggr]

Thank you, very much indeed!

[hesuss]

i'm afraid, it was ironic.

[Nihoggr]

Nevertheless.

[womboman]

Bginning is totally screwed upw ith the hi-hat foot pedal IN MY OPINON. So is the tom 'roll' into the first verse. Onwards from that was AMAZING and you held the beat very well. As people have stated you should use both sticks in the core, but it sounded fine to me. Nice playing other than those few points, but please dont take them as negatives :)

[Nihoggr]

Bah, if you ask me it's mostly screwed up all the possible ways :/

Thank you anyways, I appreciate your comment :)

[brunobb1]

thanks dude :D I will check out your new vids :D

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. Feel free to comment on whatever you want to :)

[brunobb1]

in the beggining, you shouldn't play it, sorry but it's a bit anoying ;) and you shouldn't use the two sticks in the core when your playing the part when Daron and Serj are singing, you can use only one. btw, you should train a bit more, I don't want you to get mad but I'm telling the truth and if you are a real musician you should admit it :D plz respond

[Nihoggr]

Lol you shouldn't be afraid of me getting mad :)

And I always try to respond.

I know exactly what you are talking about (the two sticks)! I've been told before that I do it the wrong way, but that's just how I grew up to play it. I'm trying to learn to do it with single hand nowadays, so thanks for confirming my mistake.

And oh yeah I totally understand if the beginning is annoying :)

I've been training more after this video. If you are interested, you can look for yourself from my new vids.

[Joery34]

Very nice! :) 5/5

[Nihoggr]

Thank youuu! :)

[Storadin]

i was going to make a comment but i thught that it was too offensive, so i'll just keep it to myself..

[Nihoggr]

Well you are welcome to leave any comment you wish, but if it is straight the line of, like, "fuk man u suck die" then you can't expect anything wise as a reply :)

That is, if you want to have a reply from me.

[rocker11257]

pretty good dude

[Nihoggr]

Well, thanks man!

[k0rytheone]

this is sick dude. nice job.

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, thank you :)

[vjelias]

Mandou bem irmão!!!

"Well done brow"

I am a brazilian guy who like a lote of a good rock and roll

[Nihoggr]

Thank you very much for the translation! :)

Also thanks for your comment and musical taste :P

[FPGBand]

nice apple behind you;;DD

[Nihoggr]

You noticed it? :D

Some decorative shit, left there by my mom lol :P

[blackout1207]

at first i was like, "Oh god, another horrible drum cover" but when you started really playing, i totally changed my mine. Amazing job man,

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, dude.

My "intro" might give you a hint to the wrong direction of what's coming 'cause that's my playing there but when the song kicks off, S.O.A.D. saves the day :P

Though, I must suggest you not to view that much horrible drum covers anymore if you are already fed up with them ;)

[HadoukenHero]

nice but one question.. are you wearing stockings?

[Nihoggr]

Thank you and no, I am not :)

[bbskingspade]

wow bro that was fuckin awesome man!!! ur fuckin good bro! blaze on!!

[Nihoggr]

Hey dude, thank you very much! Good to hear that you liked it.

[Fabian4cal]

great awsome job man. your heka gud. keep it up

[Nihoggr]

Thank you, I will try my! :)

[hardassrocker193]

damn dude. u got sicck skills dude. i love this vid. keep up the fuckign awsome work bro

[Nihoggr]

Hehheh, cool that you were impressed! I'm thankful for your support.

[kagar1]

great* and very good playing my new favourite video on youtube :) , shit i have really fall in love with yours cymbals ^^

[Nihoggr]

Thanks again, man!

I'm very happy to hear that you liked the video so much 'cause it really matters to me :)

I also love my cymbals but I keep breaking them so I need to buy new ones way too often :/

[kagar1]

gerat drumset :O Is there a sabians ?

[Nihoggr]

Thank you and yes, my cymbals are mainly Sabian.

If you are interested more and want details, you can find a video from me where I present my kit to the viewer to see.

I think I named the video something like "Tour Through My Kit" or something like that probably.

[Jackbandit11]

That was super good holyshit

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, nice that you were so awestruck ;)

[TrevorDorsey27]

Hey brother, this is the first post I've ever written, and shit, I'm most likely to get shit for it, but forget everybody else. I've been playing the drums for a while, and don't have great skill, only rhythm. You just kind of showed me varieties on a couple different fills, and inspired me to tear my drums up tomorrow. Thank you brother, you tore it, that was excellent.

[Nihoggr]

Oh wow, that's really awesome!

I'm extremely happy to hear that I have been a positive influence to another drummer :)

Thank you very much for this comment and the best to your drumming!

[jesslekay]

That's sooo gd, keep up the great work !!

[Nihoggr]

Thank youuu! :)

[meldabreak]

mistakes(not only from start) and good bass drum from start...

But you play long time, so U´re fast and U have lots of cymbals and drums...that´s all...nothing special, but nice!

[Nihoggr]

Ok, I didn't quite understand your comment but I understand that you expressed your opinion and for that, I thank you!

[hoytytoyty29]

well i play the drums to and double kickers are SOOO much better than a regular single lol they sound tons better.

[Nihoggr]

You mean double pedal or double bass? As I am assuming you are talking about double pedal.

But anyways, yeah they do sound better but it really is, then again, a question of taste ;)

[hoytytoyty29]

dude this sounds pretty good! you should actually use that double kick you have on there though.

[Nihoggr]

Thanks a lot and strange that you would actually want to hear me using the double pedal here :D A lot of people would say that it wouldn't fit, I presume.

But nice to hear your opinion, thank you again!

[frickinasshle]

hairy legs

[Nihoggr]

And they aren't the only thing that is hairy!

It comes with the manhood.

[Richard0oO]

drums dont suit this song

[Nihoggr]

Hmm, well I think some parts are perfect for certain drumming but I get your point!

[AFaggio]

very good man!

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

[Cpskolan]

damn nice dude :O !

[Nihoggr]

Very kind, thank you.

[9sertum]

Complimenti! Bravo!

[Nihoggr]

Thank you for your complimentary :)

[caffinewoman]

Wow, this sounds freakin' awesome. Keep it up!!!

[Nihoggr]

Thank you very much, I will try my best :)

[marieantoinetts01]

really cool!!

[Nihoggr]

Ok, thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it :)

[XcontactorX]

nice

[Nihoggr]

Thx!

[hacked123456789]

Gj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Nihoggr]

Acknowledge! :P

[1b35BuBa32]

Nice drumming. Please watch my vids (not the solo, it's not really good), The System covers.

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, I will and I'll comment on the videos.

[InkiceCream]

very well done but on the intro it might help to close the high hat

[Nihoggr]

Yup, maybe :P I usually keep them open, probably 'cause they have their best side shown then. As my hi- hats are Sabian B8 Pro, they don't sound that good except when slightly open. They "shizzle" very nicely, but otherwise don't sound that appealing.

But yes, you are right!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[Xariandor]

your drumming does not sound so nice... can be the mic but good rithm and it lines good with the song. 4*

[Nihoggr]

Thank you! I would at least bet on the mic if nothing else, ruining the cover partially.

The built- in camera microphone just doesn't cut for this kind of recording. Good thing that I nowadays get help from my friend, lending me his mic's and computer.

[KatrinaVictim2005]

very well done keep it up man

[Nihoggr]

Thank you, I appreciate your comment!

[sammyc816]

hey u did mess up in some spots (ur face showed that XD) but all in all it was pretty good i have to admit just keep at it and ull get 100% right dont worry ^_^

love the song and love ur drumming keep it up

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, yes I many times do certain facial impressions when I screw up at the drums :P They must be a laugh to see, heh.

Thanks for the kind words.

[hellslammer77]

pretty good

[Nihoggr]

Thanks, I usually try to be pleasing enough with my playing :)

[tinker4lyfeee]

cool kool

[Nihoggr]

Thancks, glad you liked it!

[SOADtillidie]

Nice cover, just the sound quality a bit messed, but good job, love the song.

[Nihoggr]

Yup, this isn't the best sound quality but I didn't know better back then. Thanks for watching and I also love this song!

[steff7777777]

Pretty nice! you rock =P you should be my future drummer when I become a famous singer =D

[Nihoggr]

Thank you! So, until then ;P

Hahhah, just joking there.

[CHALROCHEMBACK]

"Perdido em Hollywood"

Eu vou esperar aqui, você é louco

Essas ruas cruéis estão cheias de vagabundos

Você nunca deveria ter ido para Hollywood

[Nihoggr]

Hmm, ok I only understood the title which is the song title translated.

What are you saying? Could you or someone else translate this, to be so kind? :)

[3RubberbulletKisses]

haha Sabian's = <3 :D

yeah i play too

usually i'd rather play something like Underoath though

but SOAD used to be my all time fav band lol

oh hey what kinda kit do you use?

[Nihoggr]

I loved S.O.A.D., I first heard them at the game "Apocalypse" that had Bruce Willis as voice actor in it.

Then my cousin brought me a copy of their debut album that had no real title and it was the shit!

My kit is too big to describe hear so I advice you to see my video of me kit if you are really interested.

Just add this behind that youtubeDOTcom:

/watch?v=9YcxIJY-gNY

But in short, my drums are Yamaha Stage Custom, hardware is Yamaha, Millenium, Tama, etc. and as double pedals I have Axis.

[bmofano]

well done tho i thought it was pretty good, woulda been nice to see you go ape doing it but yeh man gd stuff

[Nihoggr]

Thanks and sorry for not going all crazy with the drums. I would have failed with the drumming then as I don't have the skills. At least yet :P

[bmofano]

get a tan tho man i thought you were wearing white tights to begin with

[Nihoggr]

Hahhahhahha, I get your point ;)

[Viktushish]

really tried to listen but.. i cant!! :|

[Nihoggr]

Hahhah, that's ok :) It is healthy to stop before your ears and eyes start to bleed.

[BAND11TO]

your shit

[Nihoggr]

I think you mean "you're shit" and not starting a topic of my shit?

Geewiz, thanks.

[Nihoggr]

Heh, I hope so :)

[Nihoggr]

Heh, ok. I'll try remembering this! :)

Yeah making some decent death metal or thrash metal is actually quite hard but I think the guys of our band have succeeded in it ok :P

[raffi52]

sorry,

i just had to come here one more time !

great job,

its everything i expected and more.

[Nihoggr]

Heh, no problem :) Cool that you still think it's the "real deal" ;)

Thanks again to you!
