Dimmu Borgir - Rehearsal rare footage

[raiotinfamigold]

Anyone knows what ride he used?

[kalloused]

Nick Barker is the Neil Pert of Metal music. Others are fast, others use alot of cymbals...but Barker does it all AND he does it with beautiful composition unmatched by NOONE!

[somos999]

@kalloused

Fotis benardo

[VanMoonrunner]

Oh Yeah! Nick Barker is a product of the "cradle smithery".. are there any other questions? Martin Skaroupka is his legal better successor..!

[Heroeslll]

best dimmu borgir song indeed....

[theAXELnater274]

all I hear is them cursing

[Jendrij]

4:39!! Listen to those hihat blast beat accents!! Fuckin sick! Nick is a GOD!!

[darkinterpret]

@Jendrij

yeah,I got goose bumps listening it at first time, he does it so natural and it hardly perceived during show.

I need to hear his line directly from his trigger, I guess he would playing more sensitive phrases.

btw I think this vid offer some "live" sound against trigger topic.

[Jendrij]

@darkinterpret

I think that in this footage triggers are not that loud campared

to the drums and cymbals itself so we can hear all the accents clearly!!

I think all that trigger bullshit discussions are rubbish. It's simple to understand

that triggers are helping people at the live shows to hear all speed double bass

parts or even on other instruments, like N. Barker did on the album

P.E.M. and during live acts!!

Kudos for the video and cheers from Poland!!

[Mutvermis]

Nick seemed very pissed off that night.

[gundamfan100]

All I can hear them say is Fuck, fucken, fucker, fuck, and fuck Lol xD

[eddiemperor]

The Entire Vid I was just waiting what Mr. Barker was going to Do Next, Fuck This guy needs to puts some Vids !!!! A Legend in my Book.

[Wood111112]

Tjodalv bitch!

[drummer1brt2gzs]

no extreme metal drummer SOUNDS better

[TeaBagreth]

@overcontrol funny you say that about a satanic band :)

[overcontrol]

@TeaBagreth yeah just fun

[JamesGoncalves]

That's impressive... after a long time together, even the other band membres go crazy with Nick...

[jalienation]

"ten times louda!"

[Olimpiakos233]

this is no rehersal, this is the soundcheck

[kulto1986]

01:09 that`s a Twisted Sister song

[hellscan]

Hellhammer, George Kollias.. Theye fucking kick ass on drums indeed!

Nick Barker is the best drummer for Dimmu.

GK is the best drummer for Nile.

HH is the best drummer for Mayhem.

Thats my opinion!

[morbida]

@hellscan TOTALLY agree

[StabatMaterHecate]

VORTEX, YOU AND I ARE FUCKING DONE PROFESSIONALLY

[TheNikolai6969]

i like barkers little groove at 2:25

[chafey3]

hahaha fuckin twisted sister..... awesome

[BaneOvExistance]

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is Dimmu best album...because Nick Barker was on that shit....DCA was sick but not as good. Give me this line up anyday. I wanna see those fills live

[acidkomodo]

where's Vortex??

[xSJDxx]

@acidkomodo He almost never shows up to practice, part of the reason he was kicked.

[wolfboii999]

Tjodalv was badass, Hellhammer was better, and Nicholas Barker was the best. in my opinion, at least. ironlically, my fav album from them is For All Tid featuring Shagrath on drums -_-

[Arthemesic]

@wolfboii999

For Åll Tid was amazing, indeed

[queenmcsleaze]

@Arthemesic when i first heard ''over blaeknede til'' wahtever that song's called i just thought what the hell tho...

[KapaH8sU]

@wolfboii999

Yeah man, For All Tid is and AMAZING album! :P

[brucekirk89]

Damn that dude was tweaking out like i do on stage LOL

[ObscureTwilight]

I like all the drummers dimmu have had, Tjoldav was great as well

[johnarm01]

I don't know how Dimmu could kick Nick out of this band.

He's the best ever.

[crusha717]

i fuckking love both, nick and hellhammer, nick did a better job with dimmu but hellhammer is so fuckking amazing

[Sdelosinfiernos]

Nick vs hell hammer...

Who is better for you??

[Raziel9669]

nick!!!

[LordBlastKrieg]

comparing drummers, or musicians even in such black and white terms as 'who's better' just can never be right, and people underestimate hellhammers creativity alot, he has played for many bands in many various styles, and so has nick, i wouldn't say one is easily better then the other, but as far as preferance goes i'd say hellhammer

[Raziel9669]

yea kool

[Raziel9669]

well seeing how i made no comparison between nick and hellhammer i think you should post ur comment to

Sdelosinfiernos i merely shouted nicks name i think they r both very talented i make no comparisons. thanx

[LordBlastKrieg]

yea i clicked the wrong one by mistake

[parsonsmatt]

Nick Barker, easily. Hell Hammer is fast but Nick is way more creative.

[Freerange99]

totally agree, Nick's fills etc are amazing, just compare tracks off puritanical to en sorte, i think blessings upon the throne of tyranny is one of the best black metal drum instrumentals ive ever heard.

[261290]

@parsonsmatt I don't think you've heard bands like Age Of Silence or Arcturus where hellhammer plays.

[trommnorse]

@parsonsmatt ...and fatter :)

[slipmar22]

yeah !!! Nick Barker BACK in ACTION!! Great Drumer! XD

[ikem555]

cool... the insight and the catharsis!!!

[Creation2012]

Yes! Nick Barker!

[DavefromTinj]

haha 1:05 he busts into We're not gonna take it!! nick owns!!!!

[storegutt13]

It's a sound test before they played the gig. I have played on two gigs that i had to tell the fucking dumbfucks of sound guys what i neded in different speakers.... it's a sound guy here where i live. He fucked up a gig that a local band played -_- he fucks up every thing

[ProdigiousAtrophy420]

You must not have very much performance experience if you have only encountered incompotent sound guys in a couple of isolated incidents. I would suggest getting used to it.

[66Ganon]

I hear ya man, its bullshit how some guys running the sound board dont know what the fuck theyre doing and dont know how to equalize the audio

[storegutt13]

Yeah! he fucked up for a local band! most of those guys in the band are my friends. But the sound test is something that a band need to go through.

[dankrom]

well looks like Vortex didn't show up....that was one of the reasons they fired him, cuz he never wanted to come to rehearsals

[gdh6200]

Lol, we're not gonna take it :P

[dontreadreplys]

where is vortex?

[steviesinger]

same here, where is he?

[TageVarulv]

George will not destroy Nick. Nick is an innovator Kollias is not.

[anceintb0w1]

nick is awesome dont get me wrong but still i am a George Kollias fan.

[halostalker]

well you should all now..that Nick asked George kollias to give him drums lessons to get better ;)....now you cant say anything else:)

[Antonyhamftw]

@halostalker you're greek of course you'd believe something that insane.

[halostalker]

@Antonyhamftw well i dont just believe it...its a fact;)

[Antonyhamftw]

@halostalker it's a fact that Nick Barker has done more innovation for extreme metal drumming than anyone else. Just look at the bands he's been in, and the classic albums he's created and compare that with Kollias.

Agan man I know he's Greek and that's a big deal for you. But you have to look at the facts.

[halostalker]

@Antonyhamftw No,No dont take it like that, like im greek so it is a big deal for me etc...i dont see it from that point of view ;) i dont take into much consideration the fact that he is greek :). BUT..Barker now has backed down cuz of family etc..so...ofc and he will get dull to some of his drumming technics..kollias is form an other generation so..he might wanted to give him soma ''lessons'' its not a bad thing..just an other point of view..you get me?

[Superchocolatedonut]

@TageVarulv George is not an innovator? SERIOUSLY CANT ALL PPL FUCKING STOP TALKING SHIT ABOUT DRUMMERS WHEN THEY DONT KNOW A FUCKING SHIT 

[imapisces23]

@TageVarulv fool. watch?v=yA31qX9PNSc for starters

[LichKingSkullWart]

@TageVarulv Oh cool story bro! Are they your personal friends?..

[6sic666666]

@TageVarulv Thank you. Nick was in the game way before kollias got into the metal scene. George is a VERY good drummer, But.... Not as creative as Barker will ever be, And to parsonsmatt, Nick obviously hasnt heard indoctrination or blessings upon. If Nick were to loose weight, With an arm would destroy kollias >.< but yes, IMO, Nick is better than Kollias :)

[KoKaTa]

nick is awesome...unfortunately geroge kollias will destroy him

[strumpluckbang]

lmao twisted sister teaser :O

[MichaelThompson19683]

i love the insight and the catharsis :)

[oshee768]

as far as barker "sticking with" db, they gave him the boot, he didn't leave on his own

[NightGod07]

I didnt know they kicked him out. Why?

[AALBINOO]

who is the drummer now

[MortusThrash]

Darek Brzozowski ("Daray"), ex Vader drummer:)

[khennigs]

Nick's beats are fucking sick, I think I like him more than HH. Yes, it's amazing :D

[xthatfatguyx]

HH should have stuck to Mayhem & Arcturus.

Barker should have stuck with Dimmu, however Noctis Imperium is probably a trade up

[garrett1118]

if galder was full time old mans child, barker should have stuck with him, omc is by far a trade up from dimmu along with arcturus

[FrozenAngelO]

Dimmu 4 ever!!!

[9remi9]

what are they fighting about?

[Ramsh666]

It's the kit which was on ebay a few weeks ago!

[lovham89]

coolest drummer is nicklas barker and clive durr..

[drgrindxl]

THX FOR UPLOADING!!!!! :)

[phatphuck1792]

LOL LOVE the Twisted Sister teaser :)

[phatphuck1792]

Tjodalv & Nick Barker are my 2 favorite drummers of all time :)

[iteletnap]

lol 1:06 he plays some twisted sister drums :)

[princessjunecake]

Shagrath should've slapped the guy who kept using f-word like it's the only word he knows.

[princessjunecake]

A lot people argue about the drummers of Dimmu Borgir but I do know that nobody ridiculed Dimmu when Tjodalv was in the band.

I also know that Dimmu's better years and albums were released when Tjodalv was the drummer.

Any older fan can tell you this, most of the new fans weren't born or were otherwise in diapers when they released their first album.

[coldfleshcolony]

OK, so you "know" they were better with Tjodalv? And I thought music was subjective and a matter of personal taste...

[princessjunecake]

coldfleshcolony

I said that they weren't RIDICULED when Tjodalv was in the band. Learn how to read.

[princessjunecake]

coldfleshcolony

Also, when I said that their better years were with Tjodalv I meant that nobody said their music was gay and made fun of them because of their sound.

Tjodalv wasn't the reason why the sound changed. It was Shagrath and Silenoz that changed everything.

[princessjunecake]

Not to be a comment monster but it's sad for me to see one of my favorite bands since my childhood being insulted by 13 and 14 years olds.

I just don't like seeing 12 year old Cradle of Filth fans saying Dimmu is gay or that they're posers. Do you like it?

[coldfleshcolony]

Hmmm... I DO know how to read.

Of course it's sad to see idiots thrashing your favorite band. But then again who really gives a shit about 12-year olds?

[KapaH8sU]

ye, shit aint it ?

[realone211]

There is nothing wrong about triggers...." An example is where very rapid bass drum hits become difficult to distinguish or even hear in the presence of a full band."

[overcontrol]

good nickkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[kciskciskcisremmurd]

1:05 glad to know SOMEONE likes twisted sister xD

[Haysahi]

"We're not gonna take it " heheh

[Korgon2013]

who doesn't like twisted sister?

[antiestablishment111]

Me.

[drummingforsatan666]

fag

[stefannikolicns]

me too

[overcontrol]

nick, man you are the best

[mikedubtk4]

all you doodz that talk about triggers need a lesson in drumming real quick!

i play guitar and i know that a trigger picks up the vibration from the drum head. triggers DO NOT tighten your head or effect your playing. if anything it makes you more cauctious of your playing.

i suggest all of you go and watch bret batdorf videos and see what real drumming is all about!!

[chrisjohn666]

It makes me laugh all these people who talk shit about drummers and triggers. They are truely pathetic. ARE YOU FAMOUS AND PLAYING TO HUGE CROWDS ? NO. idiots.

[Dimmuborgir6969]

i hate ignorant people who talk about triggers.

[briandeprived09]

lets put speed aside. most morons who talk their shit about triggers don't realize that triggers actually expose your mistakes. as if you're playing on an aucoustic drum, it's muddy as shit and you can't hear a fuckin thing most of the time if you have much distortion in your band. trigger setting have a lot to do with it as well. i suppose if you use axis pedals, you're a cheater as well? most drummers with chops and talent can rock any fuckin pedals lol

[peyhater]

was this for their show in stuttgart?

[JandBigT]

was the drummer playing were not gunna take it? 1:05

[WitchOvAgnesi]

yep

[peyhater]

Nick barker is more accurate and plays Faster.

Hellhammer is known for His bass pedals and he uses TRIGGERS.

[Moobysnax]

everyone that plays double bass as fast as bands like this use triggers.

[BornFromHatredDivine]

the only thing that triggers do for a bass drum is give it the sound you hear and even out every bass drum hit...it doesn't actually help you go faster...just makes your bass drum sound better live

[AnthraxGoodybag]

Personally, I think triggers are cheating. People who use them tighten their heads so they get more bounce.

[brainfable16]

this is called a sound check not a "rehearsal"

[crusha717]

im an expert in drumming, every drummer has his own technique but i think that hellhammer have more experience, just listen too stormblast remastered, he did an awsome job

[250bpmshaun]

But hellhammer is so sloppy. Nick Barker is amazing. He is so much faster that hellhammer. Nick Barker did chosen legacy speeds at the end of Kings Of The Carnival Creation! So i would say they are at about the same level! But Nick is so much tighter at playing.

[crusha717]

well what drummers are doing in there bands means nothing

[Compendyum]

I agree. I have watched HH since his earlyer bands and he grew a lot, from a drummer who only knew speed, now he knows technique too. But Nick is still tighter in my opinion.

[EternusNathrakh]

Hellhammer is considered better than Nick Barker, so live with it.

[theemergence]

nick the most creative drummer..... of metal.

[SorgensKammer1987]

So all blast beats = creativity?

[wickedtwists]

Also, I'd like to add that these guys work their asses off to get to the level they are. We should really give them the credit they deserve!!!

[wickedtwists]

Blazing Speed! So far these are the last three best metal drummers in my shitty book...Nick, Hellhammer, and Marthus! Marthus is new and kinda like Portnoy on steroids. Anyway, all good drummers and I hate comparing musicians... I really think all three guys need to get together and make a dvd, they'd make a killing! Cheers everyone!

[Compendyum]

Marthus sure was a surprise. I wish him luck.

[paparias123]

hellhammer ..the best ,,he makes double bass seems easy..in a concert u can hear only his drumms..nicholas is very good but not like hellhammer...

[raiotinfami]

oh shut up dude.

[Phergan]

Hellhammer is not as good.. I loved Dimmu when Nick was there. Steady as a clock - not sloppy like Hellhammer.

[FallenGrace2905]

Personally I think Barker was more creative but Hellhammer is faster, different styles really

[chinqchon]

wrong nick is way faster bro. the fast ass double bass in the new album is fake...i guarantee nick is a lot better than hellhammer

[FallenGrace2905]

Yeah, im basing the speed purely on Mayhems album Ordo ad choa and chimera. but yeah great drummers

[blitzedhaze]

Ever seen hellhammer live? The guy couldn't hold a candle to the tracks Nick layed down.. Not half the notes on some songs that included blast beats.. How is hellhammer faster exactly?

[FallenGrace2905]

Yes I have seen hellhammer live, with mayhem, blasting and double bassing it at 300bpm, he may have a different style to nick, both great drummers etc etc but hellhammer IS faster

[Silenoz1991]

i agree hellhammer is faster, but they both drum at a speed level where fastness doesnt matter any more, but the skill in playing good fills and creating good rythms in parts where you dont blast.

[FallenGrace2905]

yeah man i agree, speed doesnt impress me as much as technique does. both drummers have great technique!

[FallenSkorm]

hellhammer is a legend, nick is pretty decent.

[drummer1brt2gzs]

No no no! It's the other way around, man....

[favsncrap]

barker pwns he dont just beat drums he beats singers

[DimitrisKs]

thanks for upldng

[demon254]

Nick Barker is bad ass,sucks they fired him,but dam the guy they have performing with them now is just as good in my opinion.

[MissShagrath]

I agree but they fired Nick for a good reason..It was him being fired or Silenoz leaving the band -_-

[Paintballdrumz]

do u have the full reason as to why it had to be tht way?

[MissShagrath]

Nah, I've read somewhere on The Internet...It was an Interview with Silenoz.

[MissShagrath]

I read that Silenoz didn't get along pretty well with Nick...And the last thing he said to him was fuck off...but I don't remember the rest...I sould of have save it in my favorites ¬.¬

[Paintballdrumz]

tht sux, nick is such a huge part to ne band he joins....like COF. do u by any chance know why he left cradle?

[VikingWarriorof69]

Nic got into a fight with Dani, and they didnt make up in time cuz nic left Cradle by then..

[Paintballdrumz]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! wut was the fight about?

[VikingWarriorof69]

fuck knows... Dani's a megolomaniac

[Paintballdrumz]

heard of the word, no idea wut it means lmao xD. esplain por favor

[VikingWarriorof69]

i think it means he was very controlling over things or people

[Paintballdrumz]

i think you're right. damn...doesn't even seem dani could b tht way

[csehszlovakze]

is the bass drum supposed to sound like that?

[SeverTheDream]

yeah its trigged

[FallIntoWinterr]

this is one of my favourite dimmu songs

the insight and the catharsis

[WitchOvAgnesi]

The good old days. I can't stand seeing them live anymore.

[ludvigjacobsson]

i Heard it was because nick did´nt want Bm to be too big. That it should be kept underground. But that´s just a romour...

[Oyhus]

I heard that Nick nearly fucked up a US-tour by acting like an idiot on some airport. They wouldn't risk losing their visas because of that guys behavior:P

[WepusSworn]

Nick Barker is impressive. Hope to see him back in the musical scene as soon as possible.

[c4t2f0]

Look at old barker getting down!!!FUCK YA!!

[johnarm01]

For all you dummies out there- Nick Barker= the greatest ever and Dimmu were dumb asses for firing him!!

[XTXcalVinXTX]

not really

[Maar568]

nick barker = best drummer for dimmu

[Perrytowne]

Nick is awesome. good drumming nice guy. hellhammer is pretty awesome too. the new guy tony is decent.

[staybrutalwhore]

Nick barker is way better than hellhammer or tjodalv, deal with it!

[drgrindxl]

nostalgic :I

[Goudounna]

who's that mad nergal look-alike person at 1:45 ? 8-)

[dankrom]

what song were they rehearsing at the end?

[Demanufactur3r]

Tormentor of Christian Souls

they play it much faster than the original version

you can find it on the EDT album

[yomerolya]

Hellhammer is the greatest master of metal drumming but there are occassions where a more pounching sound is needed even if the level isn't that high, that's why i like nick barker's work. Great both of them

[XxxAxtraxutrAxxX]

i think the same, nick is the best, but djodalv is the best in feeling

[chtulhugod]

ive seen them both live ,hellhammer&nick both kick ass but hellhammer is more eccentric and he is the destroyer . even gorgoroth is using nick just to hold down the fort until hellhammer is done touring with dimmu then they are taking him cause he is the man , dont get me wrong nick is good but there aint no contest even galder& vortex both say hammer is the best they have worked with ,he is the most wanted drummer in the scene . have you ever seen mayhem live its sick hes too good

[Sjamsucks]

Really? Because when I saw Dimmu Borgir hellhamer played the sloppiest double kick I have ever heard.

[xsuicidex666]

doesnt the drummer come out in the vid " sacriegious scorn?"

barker is the best you faggots
