I supplied a drum kit for Nick, and drumteched for him on a show a few years back. After he finished his set, nearly all the tension rods on the kit were hanging out of the lugs. A Powerhouse!
This is legitimately disgusting talent.. This was the album that made me fall in love with metal when I was a high school student... always loved how pervasive and cohesive the drums were... just incredible
Jammmminnn!! I did totally notice him drop a stick at this show but I forgot which song it was during. It helps being 6' 3" I never miss seeing the drummer.
I envy this dude. Traditional grip no question makes it easier to move across your kit. Like a lot easier. I just can't understand how people actually use it. Wish I could
Dude is going to have some serious wrist problems. Does he blast with this grip as well? I have to assume he is limited in his blast speed due to the lack of finger movement. But beyond that... holy crap - traditional. Wow.
SpikeFlea this dude does do blast beats using this technique. It hasn’t seemed to limit his speed. He used to play for The Faceless and used this technique the entire time.
thumbs up and subscribe for traditional
Somewhere, Nick's drum teacher from his youth is watching with a tear in his eye, so proud that Nick never gave up on traditional grip.
you are totally correct. it looks sick too
Buddy Rich is also proud!

Is this Rollo from Vikings playing drums ? :D. Awesome to watch! great drummer!
Most talented band at warped this year for sure.
Hardcore Dad By far. Sad that they don’t get the recognition they deserve.
I remember when I first heard of Nick. He was playing with The Faceless, touring for their first album. Ahhh, the good ole days...
beyond massive respect to anyone playing this style with traditional grip. its insane
Just watching this makes my left hand cramp up. His fluidity is amazing. Every shot makes perfect contact.
Love the traditional grip! Killin’ it!

I have never seen a metal drummer with traditional grip \m/
Jason Costa from All That Remains is another sick metal drummer that plays traditional.
Bruno Valverde from Angra
Check Walking Dead On Broadway Mate
Matt Horn was going to mention him lol. Excellent drummer 👌
Mark Zonder of Warlord and formerly Fates Warning plays a variant of traditional grip (stick's a bit further forward in his left hand).
Look at this guy, showing off his stick juggling skills while being awesome at drumming...
This guy is my hero
As a former marching snare player, my left thumb is killing me after watching this haha. Respect!
Not only does he play metal with traditional grip but also stick tricks it 2:13🤘🏻 sick dude.
I remember this dude putting up videos of him playing this in his sitting room as an audition, so glad he got the gig he's a top notch drummer
It was SOOOOO CRAAAAZY AND ENERGETIC man!!!!!
Jammmminnn!! I did totally notice him drop a stick at this show but I forgot which song it was during. It helps being 6' 3" I never miss seeing the drummer.

Buddy would be proud to watch him playing the drums

Is there anything post Malone can't do
In what way does Nick look anything like the human dingleberry that is Post Malone?

@3:23
He's like the Ryan Knight of drumming

So this is the real reason Rollo left Kattegat...
My first immediate reaction of this video when looking at his last hand was “WHAT THE FUCK?”
WHAT THE FUCK
Traditional grip AND stick tricks... my lord

Still think the ORIGINAL drummer is way better
