I have to admit, i am so jealous of this skill.

[jay1070]

[leinadniser]

[facedspaced]

Fuck yeah dude!

[DarkIntention69]

MOAR POLYRHYTHMS!!!1!

[erich1593]

One: This guy must get so many chicks doin this.

[rwmerlot777]

[cowheap]

mmm MMMM!! so groovy.

[89leoben]

nice playing!

[skatagmt]

[SuperGrizzly420]

3:00 so jazz thats fucking incredible!!!

[Z32spdstr]

very nice deff need more polyrythmic drummers

[djshavez]

that is sick! are you from mars!?

[JamesDeathMetal]

Fucking intense! You need to be my drummer man!

[Zozol6]

Nice, I play similar things in my home.

[Throtic]

Sir, you are a beast! Excellent style.

[bassbreaker]

AHA cool tune, very impressive, If I could make a suggestion, I would put a few slower groovier beats in there with a similar rhythm, but that just a personal preference. But that was wild, your amazing

[SlipknotKoRnfan]

I love you.

[endlessvoid4]

:0

holy tits this made my day.

[mushynator]

ha you should learn songs from this one band called "Periphery" you might know them. you and their drummer kind of have a similar drum style

[NoaOno]

Awesome

[pnutskater96]

took me forever to see that you have a gong bass drum or floor tom to your left

[gotbass33727]

where are you from?

[xoninmuoshda]

best drummer on youtube holy shit!

[alexdcb]

@xoninmuoshda

then watch thomas lang ;)

[Jdcie]

Such gratuitous amounts of groove! man... awesome!

[MrEpicPants]

absolutely love the sound at 2:19

[MrEpicPants]

i dunno about anyone else, but i think a metronome playing in the background would help me follow the beat

[vigilhammer]

want not cover some meshuggah?

[DMEB]

this is one of the most interesting solos i have seen in a good while.. good on you for a little personality in the playing pal...

[gibbsies]

fucking scary drumming dude.. god damn this could spawn a whole new style of metal

[Unrated48]

@gibbsies

Could? COULD? Dude he got a band watch it I bought their album it's pretty neat!

Name's band : Culling the Weak. Very brilliant band!

[KrefelderBusfahrer]

Dude... DAMN! That was great. All my respect!

[757metal757]

one question....is part of your crash in the top right inverted or is that just the way the light is hitting it?

[757metal757]

gotta respect the traditional grip

[55Ignis]

....damn man...that kit sounds tight...what snare is that...I like yer sound there...

[Slayer100]

great! how do you get your double bass so fast? i'd like to think i'm am an okayish drummer (i have been playing 7-8 years) but i suck balls at double bass?

[D91ftw]

@Slayer100 there r technique to doing double bass, btw exerize your muscles and if your legs burn like hell, good, play faster next time... for me its hard to get in/out of some good bass and stay in beat. check out 1:51 double bass i cant do that and stay in beat lol, still learning x)

[sexypoulpe]

Hi Sir, great performance, congrats !

Btw what type of bass drum is that ? and how do you tune it ? sounds amazing !

[Crazymark1]

Such clean ass fills and dynamic work. This is with a metronome right?

[smackinwaffles421]

jesus mother fucking christ that was intense. Are you in a band? Because you fucking should be

[BoeufBoy94]

dudz ud make thomas proud, no doubt

[Ezekiel25Colon17]

i watch this when i'm down and it makes me happy again

[Metallideth1993]

AWESOME

[hatebreedklop]

You're fuckin' amazing, man!!! :D

[TheModCon]

That's some seriously immense playing, 5 stars!

[caffeineaddict213]

What bass drum pedal are u using, and what bass drum?

Great work btw.

[3RubberbulletKisses]

Is that a 18" Z3 crash by your china?

[1juspe]

Lol nice :O some nice playing thar

[Spleenfome]

its funny how u can imitate the Tomas Haake style of drumming but its never really as similar as it seems. im speaking in general of course.

[juggernaut422]

this sounds badass!!!

some parts remind me of like between the buried and me kinda the number twelve looks like you kinda shit!!!

could i use a few of these beats with my band!?!

[WillHerndon]

i came

[666133666]

traditional grip???

[OpethCommodore]

Dude, fucking EXCELLENT work.  I love this style of jazzy-metally-fusion-y improv groove.

[paistedw762]

what is the cymbal stack that you start off the video with? It looks like a wuhan china/splash combo but i can't tell.

[andresortiza7x]

1:50 would make an amazing break down

[Mitraeltheprophet]

Are you in a band or something? have myspace?

[ShawnFerrell]

You are the kind of drummers that make me keep writing polymetrics and hypermetrics.

[doodalydoodaly666]

Dude this guy is a god.

Not to mention

HE'S DRUMMING WITH HIS EYES CLOSED!!!!!

[Drumlord009]

@doodalydoodaly666 Umm, dude, it's not hard to play with your eyes closed. Most drummers have played on their kit so much that they don't need to see to play right. It's all about that feel thing.

[pongopanic]

thomas haake would be proud

[kilingdaking2sk8]

sick sick sick sick awsome

[Lolsandwhich]

Your double strokes are godlike. Excellent!

[XotopX]

Im not too drum savvy but why does it seem like drummers ligtly tap the snare on the offbeats during polyrythms

[andrewk31]

They are called ghost notes, they add a dynamic characteristic and fill in empty space.

[metalhead77479]

Its to keep in time mostly. Alot of drummers just do that to accent some notes (ghost notes)

[MillAreo]

that groove at 1:50 was bitchin

[tubbawubba]

its pantera's closing riff on "becoming"

[DoobieFroobie]

Awesome! He plays so well playing traditional grip. He also looks like Synyster gates lol

[skatterpro]

that was so fun to watch! :D

awesome playing, 5*

[retractor3]

I suck

[UgE]

Incredible traditional grip! Love your playing and drums!

[Stickalas]

1:50..... You fucking prick lol, that was amazing! Good job :)

[nuguns]

I love it!

[metalxthomas]

that was some sick drumming.

[fullmontycarlo]

Love the traditional grip!!

[drummakid101]

Your China is so Orgasmic!

I totally had a romance explosion while watching this.

[vonzippa12]

VERY NICE ROMANCE EXPLOSION. seriously this guy is amazing. he really sounds like meshuggah's tomas haake

[Icollishaw]

One could only hope to emulate the talent of the Haake.

My three favorite drummers.

Haake.

Lord Marco

Nick Pierce.

Fucking rip shit apart.

[vonzippa12]

what is nick pierce from. is this guy nick pierce.

[FA9082]

Jizzed in my pants.

[HamburgerTrain]

This guy is awesome, but that's a bit ironic, he's playing on his living room with a shitty camera. He deserve an appropriate room with recording gear.

[warduck4]

He might be sponsored.

[F990]

VERY VERY nice sir. Were there any certain time signatures you were using for these beats? Or were they all straight 4/4? Also, what kind of ride is that? The bell has a great sound

[blastbeatshaman]

No I was just going with the flow, most everything was in different phrasing in odd four or eight. so like 5/4 or 5/8 and so on.

[JKDrummerHalo]

There is only one good side at the odd-timing :D And that is that it's really easy to improv, cos there is no worrier wether one keeps in rythm or not

But it's hard as hell to learn

[svenjohnpetrucci]

you are a freak

[8Maik]

so we got a new Danny Carey...

[Uhrwerkmann]

i know exactly what u mean... there should be a law. " its not allowed to play drums THAT good..."

[KINGKAI41]

YouTube wouldn't be as interesting for us drummers, then. These videos can actually boost someone's vitality and effort into getting into drums, haha. I know you were BSing about the law, just thinking out loud here, haha.

[ISAxFCKINxRIOS]

wow. i seriously need to stop watching this guys videos. im eating lunch at the computer and planned to go drum afterwards, and then i had to put this shit on and now i just wanna sell my kit and give up music for life. haha

[N0p3]

Ugh I know what you mean. Damn, he's a beast...

[Reapzor12]

I feel that way when i see videos of pro kid drummers

[AHillFL]

hey well we cant all be prodigys

[Reapzor12]

You bet we can.

[SonicYouth420]

1:45-1:49 concatenation intro ? [=

1:50-2:00 bleed ? [=

[SmartPartsFreak06]

1:50 sound brutal

[MAMAXXXFRANK]

2:20 ... lmao, that fucking floor tom

[maidenfan10210]

anyone else think that 1:15 sounds a bit like soul burn?

[meshuggahfan8191]

i actually heard a slight rhythm similarity to bleed in there but idk...

[timmoah]

okay,,, who else that that 1:50 was some pure sickness :| he owned those pedals xD

[pixelfreak007]

i agree!

[mikeportnoy001]

Great drumming man !

[kyledavidbyron]

your great man! 5

[hazzyftw]

dam i would 2 u in a drumoff V chris pennie, the place would prolly blow up

[deadpenguins]

...holy shit....

[tubbawubba]

very very colourful drumming. keep up the good work!

[drugsnbass13]

holy fucking shit man ... I'm dumbstruck

[vonzippa12]

dude are you sponsered or somethin dude jesus

[ScizofrenicDrummer]

from 1.50 to 2.00 is from meshuggahs song bleed... But otherwise, nice work man! Keep on drumming!

[13191215]

Well, it says "Meshuggah-ish" in the title.

[ScizofrenicDrummer]

Well, it's Meshuggah-ish. Not Meshuggah... But I don't say it's a bad thing. That song is wicked hard...

[13191215]

no shit...it's sick..

[wimawa]

When i saw "Messhuggah-ish" i knew there would be some weird time sigs.

very nice!

5/5

[plopenstien]

well did the odd time bit that preceds that not give you a hint?

[hatedrivesus]

hey fuck you!

[plopenstien]

sorry i didnt realise pointing out the obvious would offend you so much.

regardles this improv is absolutely amazing :D

[cryptopsyskully]

Do your drumming skills earn you any money?

just curious, coz if not then I've got no chance of making any dough!

[MadPuppets1]

glad to see someone drum with traditional grip on a set nice work

[plopenstien]

i fucking adore your fills. i want to have sex with them. or just learn how do do something even remotely as good as them

[boyconstrictor1]

Sick bro! Good luck!

[bigthene5er6ish]

well im off to go cry my eyes out now.

[warh34d]

I'm not sure if I want to have sex with your drumset or your technique, but i sure as hell have a boner. Nice.

[crapheadalex]

what china is that on your left side?

[folken161]

You have some crazy drumming skills there mate

[HamburgerTrain]

WOW INSANE DUDE!

[namawon]

[LOGonover]

holy sht mad fillz! 5/5

[BurningBarefoot]

amazing! Very fluid, solid and original.  Awesome job man!

[stu798]

definitely deserves the high quality option

[ghughghugh]

You can definitely tell you are loving the hell out of that new snare drum, and rightly so. :) I cannot wait to riff to stuff like this. Sick.

[jlbr1990]

secoo ... no tengo otras palabras  .... maestroo!!

[fridogg]

insane snare tone

[kodekrazy]

1:50 kills.

[nemersiz]

[aussie1994]

[hawkzdude]

[Jackdaniulz]

You're great at rollin that shit. nice

[riseagainsttheunion]

what kinda ride is that??????

[dekkard1221]

zildjian Z custom most likely( sounds crazy heavy right?)

[riseagainsttheunion]

what makes you say it's a z custom?

heck yeah dude. that things freakin sick

[dekkard1221]

the bell, the Z custom bell's have a strange sheen and shape to them, not bad, but strange. besides, I know Z customs sound like that having owned one before. this man seems like he knows zildjian makes the good shit, cheers.

[riseagainsttheunion]

Zildjian A Earth ride. hahaha

it's on his profile dude! lmfao

i just noticed XD

[CDrumaholic]

Glad to see ya got some sick vids up! chinas are killer, keep us up to date if you go on tour with anyone.

[philruss666]

lets see some 16th notes on the hats

[cashmunny]

Nice!! Saw you when you were still in the Faceless when you guys were touring with Necrophagist. It was a great show.

ps. youre way better than lord marco..

[ShooBdoo22]

he's still with the faceless dumbass

[cashmunny]

Do a little research before you call someone a dumbass you fag. you can even look at his profile. It says he USED to play for the faceless.

After Nick left they had a guy named marco pittruzella, and now the new drummer is the guy from sleep terror..

[ShooBdoo22]

You are a fucking dumbass. They have different drummers. Like a studio drummer and a concert drummer. But now I heard that he did quit.

[worldfullofidiots420]

actually, the drummer of sleep terror plays for cattle decapitation and lyle cooper does drums for the faceless currently

[ShooBdoo22]

you're right about the fact that nick is better than marco by the way. haha way better.

[playswithpassion]

yea, the "Lord" is all about speed and no creativity...I'm not saying I'm better or faster or whatever than him, but he's just boring!

[ShooBdoo22]

yeah he's still pretty talented. just not better than nick.

[Goddrum]

nice dude i love the traditional grip looks sick lol im working on it alittle bit

[frankco74]

Awesome drumming. Where in the world are you from?

[SHRED1000]

fucking washington bitch!

[Crazymark1]

This is truly badass.

Excellent work as always Nick!

[Darren1337]

Fucking hell, loved the fill at 2:55

[SHRED1000]

sam summed it up in one word.

you are fucking solid as a rock dude.

[pearldrummer816]

damn good.

[tbruchey]

its a Wuhan

[tbruchey]

[proto35]
