Thank you very much, and if you're really related to Nigel tell him he's one of my favorite drummers, I really like his precision and sounds! Saxon is great.
Goddamn Beautiful!! Probably my all time favorite Saxon song, I love all the different elements it incorporates. Just when you think it is about over, it takes off again. This song F' ing rocks. The Crusader Tour was when I got introduced to Saxon, I think they were touring with Armored Saint if I remember correctly. Still remember the tour shirt, it was my first concert shirt, second metal concert I'd been to, I was still in High School. Motley Crue was my first concert but sadly didn't get a shirt, I want even supposed to be there so I didn't want any incriminating evidence laying around. I had all of Saxon's cassettes through "Rock the Nations" and had a few of them on vinyl too. Never had an opportunity to see Saxon again until just recently when they were booked to open for Motorhead at a venue I worked at. I was f'ing waiting for that concert so badly. Unfortunately due to Lemmy's cancer, the venue felt he wouldn't make it through a full set and they moved the concert to a club in town and I couldn't make it down there. Motorhead took the stage that night after Saxon, apparently played just a few songs and had to cancel the remainder of the show due to Lemmy feeling too ill. Lemmy died a few weeks later. I was that close to being able to see one more Motorhead and Saxon show... that F'ing close. Thanks for this video, as a drummer myself, you nailed it, awesome performance!
Thanks man, Lemmy was a huge loss but he lived his life on his own terms, excellent. I have a few other Saxon covers here including crusader. I did one from their latest album but TH-cam blocked it, including all my DIO covers as well. Such is life.
@@MrNickDrummer Maybe consider creating your own site, it could be beneficial to you. You could host your own content without worrying about TH-cam taking it down. You could make up for some of the deduction in click cash in other ways like merch, lessons/ coaching, plus you could still get sponsorships for onsite graphics, etc... At least you are not losing out on your time for what's involved in creating & editing a video only too have it pulled. Just food for thought, not sure what your expertise is in doing something of that nature. I dig the videos, fucking dig that set too!
I do this mostly for fun, never monetizing. It's not my intention to infringe any copyright rules or laws, I know how they work. Creating my own site for covers can cause problems unless I request authorization to use the materials and I respect that. I'd guess perhaps the original bands who created the material do benefit from having fans like me spreading their work around but... it doesn't work that way. Thank you for the comment anyways!
Nice Job! Tough song to play and playing over another drummer is not easy and almost impossible to be perfect. No drum track and you nailed it bud! Rock on!
Actually that's not a drumless track, it's the Crusader CD, same with my Crusader cover. So if you can't hear the original drums underneath that's a huge compliment to me, means I'm playing on time 👍
Eu tbm. Gosto de poucas deles. Além dessa: Run for your lives, midas touch, and the bands played on, devil rides out, crusader, denin and leather e a versão deles de ride like the wind.
Im very proud of you ! Ich bin sehr stolz auf Dich !!!!! So...we can start to think about a visit to Paste in Switzerland . You are wellcome here in Germany too !
Cool kit! The toms sound fantastic! Kick sounds great too! Like you I am definitely not a fan of that snare sound. Good job on the song! A few hiccups but really loved some of the rolls down the toms. I notice you use all wrist in your playing. Have you ever tried using your thumb and first finger to hold the stick,use that as a pivot point, and use your middle finger (and the next smaller finger) to push the stick as it pivots between your thumb and first finger? I am old school for sure but I learned this technique a few years back here on you tube and I can't even tell you how much it helped. It makes playing fast effortless. It is sort of a combination of the wrist and finger pivot technique I mentioned really. Just thought I would mention it to ya please don't take offense as I think you are really good.
Thanks for the comment, no offense taken at all. And I agree, I need to train more on that technique, I know how to use it, it just seems like when the pressure is on (camera and mics on) I want to get a consistent volume out of the drums to make mixing easier, and I end up using wrist more. But I do use the technique you've mentioned a lot more on ride cymbals. I have to make an effort to use it more on both hands. Thanks again for posting.
Saxon had a vote on Facebook for rare songs to be played on this tour. Sailing To America won but they're not playing it. WTF??? You probably play it better than Nigel any way...lol....
Nigel says "Pretty Damn close to what I did on this track - great job!"
Thank you very much, and if you're really related to Nigel tell him he's one of my favorite drummers, I really like his precision and sounds! Saxon is great.
Hey Nick - Nigel is my husband, and I will be sure to pass the message along :)

The Mayflower is on the way.
Assuuu...
охуйно:)
I have no idea what that means, but thanks anyways.
Actually Jesus rules but they were an underrated band. Probably because the lead singer wasn't that great.
