Holy crap a metalcore guy who actually tunes his heads to something other than the lowest possible thud. His kit sounds awesome and would fit equally in a gospel band or jazz trio as here. Also. Dude's hats are SO HIGH.
That's my favorite part too! Just gave me goosebumps. Most people don't realize you have to time that stuff as well and keep your count in the song. Plus not dropping the stick haha I love Nic's drumming style live. So energetic and just goes for it.
I was at this exact performance at the old masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia, this is when they opened up for August Burns Red for the very first time, this was also my very first time seeing and hearing Northlane, and they blew me away, hung out with them afterwards outside the venue, very very Humble and great guys
Crazy how much power and feel you can get from a great sounding snare with a flam hit on it. I remember playing with the band Bury Your Dead and the drummer made me realize the same thing. How powerful and flam can sound and feel when hit just right
@@constantk8780 now that I listened to it again I see what you're saying. I believe you're right on that. I know bands do that a lot with the reverse snare sound too. I liked having my own pad for live shows where I played all the extra sounds and add one but I guess if you have a good sound guy and play with a backing track, that works too
3:00-3:25 is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen be played on a kit, JFC, to understand what is going there... you got accented cymbal hits keeping the beat on two of the cymbals where those two cymbals have a pattern going, double kick going, all the while doing all these cymbal and tom fills between with the snare falling on the second hit of the accented cymbal hits... so much going on and he does it so effortlessly, doesn't even look like he's trying... this man is a god of drums, for sure (excuse my lack of drum cymbal terminology, I ain't a drumer), there is so much going on and he does it like it's breathing
As a drummer I can confirm this is one of the hardest parts to play, there's a few other songs that are had to play like Bleed by Meshuggah but that's only really the aspect of keeping the kicks going through the whole song, this is just technical on a whole other level that's hard to try play yourself!
Definitely hard to play clean, but i wouldn’t say it’s the hardest part of the song. The kick drums are simply playing sixteenth notes so there’s not a whole lot of subdividing and it allows you to focus on the hands
to piggyback off that answer, I believe the only other thing worth noting is that he usually uses a 10" rack tom (pretty small, most people use at least a 12") and then a 14" and 16" floor, along with a 20" kick drum. this isn't his kit though, it's a touring one. as for the snare, dunno what this one is, but he actually has a signature Evett's snare you can buy now, and it looks stunning.
+Alex Melendez It would appear to be hooked up to his personal mixer so he does his own sound(virtually and can adjustable on the fly) and sends it up to the front of house with minimal adjustment from the engineer. Personally, I don't think that's the best spot for it. One $500 wrong move and I don't even want to know what happens. Maybe the mixer cuts off feed to the front of house adding insult to injury? Nic is a hard hitter too.
Due to his stark contrast of tone and delivery from Adrian, Marcus' vocals don't really carry the same weight or impact. It's very difficult for me to enjoy the new material with the mix and the vocals feeling so much weaker than Adrian's; however, watching and listening to this live video, Marcus sounds incredible. I am very happy to see that he gels well and can stay vocally consistent live.
It pisses me off knowing the people at the front not only don't know the words, but don't even look like they're enjoying themselves. These are the people that beat me to the best view of my favourite bands at gigs. Tossers.

His toms SING
Ikr, sick of all these super flat dead toms. Let them breather jeez
yea i've always thought its awesome he uses that smaller 10" tom instead of the metal industry standard of like a 12 or 14 as the high tom
Hey your uneducated comment out of here scrub
That stick trick and flip in between 2:12 and 2:15 !
That's my favorite part too! Just gave me goosebumps. Most people don't realize you have to time that stuff as well and keep your count in the song. Plus not dropping the stick haha I love Nic's drumming style live. So energetic and just goes for it.

2:13 Unfuckwithable
Best comment i've read all week
This performance quelled my fears about Marcus. He killed it.
Yes! Thank you!
FearTheReaPeRr did you ever see them with Adrian to say that?
@@Blo0dredRidingHo0d I did
personally would like a rerecord of that album
That snare hit at 0:23 is so explosive
It’s called reverse reverb back track and reverb dog

@@brettcrawford4215 nah that's deff just the backing track.

Man, they are great live. Awesome sound guy too!
marcus put his own touch on those cleans and killed it, simply awesome
Fuck me, the twirl he does at 2.21 then changes to the china gave me goosebumps, nic pettersen is nekk level

That mic turn is epic!

The art of how to playing drum
Wow. I meant to reply to that comment... Not delete it... Ha. Time for me to go to sleep...
Thanks! We have one more video of Northlane to post! :D
hey what kit is nic using do you know the specs?

+Mitch ZImmerman the snare he was using at this time was his own build that he made!
NathanDrums it actually looks like the prototype for his current signature Evett's snare drum, if you look close
really impressive at 2:14, he sends the stick in the air in a really short time
that stick throw was dope..
that breakdown at 0;23 souds nice!!
Marcus sounds so good from 3:24 on
Is there any chance you can shoot one of these for Anthony Caruso from Hellions?
Nic is killing it!
AJ Kuri If they do a US tour through Atlanta and would let us, we would love to.
drummers anonymous that would be phenomenal! Thanks for posting these!
+AJ Kay word, he is a sick drummer
nic is so fucking good i swear
Got DAMN
His kit is so sprawling.
jconnaissais pas sa pi caliss cest malade!!nice
The worst crowd i've ever seen :|
Where the fk was this? I'mma stab this crowd...
For real
The pit is always at the back. We cant see it. The fanboys at the front are always quiet
Killer - This crowd looks weak. . So glad my state represents and went nutz a few weeks back when they were here :)
is there no one else here whose fucking ocd kicks in about the sticks knocking that ipad
ruthless
drummers anonymous Awesome video's, but you forgot to mention that he's playing 'Scarab' as well.It starts at 1:25
I love this man and his talent so much. But. BUT....have you ever seen such an amazing praying mantis in motion?
Is the entire audience on Dramamine? Sheesh, complete dead despite having their faces melted!
0:23 10/10 I came
that drum set tho
Jesus
Does anybody know the size of the crash nearest to the hi hat?
What is the tablet under his hihat for?
+Alex Melendez It would appear to be hooked up to his personal mixer so he does his own sound(virtually and can adjustable on the fly) and sends it up to the front of house with minimal adjustment from the engineer.

Nic is a hard hitter too.
Exactly what dan said, he mixes each drum in his in ears individually
That's so fucking badass. Just when I thought I couldn't like Nic Pettersen any more.
Most drummers do this man lol
Do they have any backing tracks? Might be what it's for as well.
Mode: Ninja 2:11
3:24 that left hand

Didn't know Ross Ulrich ripped so hard on the drums
Just GOD in his natural habitat
Yo RUclips how do I get that iPad monitoring system???
i believe it's available with the allen & heath mixer they use, so nic can adjust the in-ear mix from the ipad
It pisses me off knowing the people at the front not only don't know the words, but don't even look like they're enjoying themselves. These are the people that beat me to the best view of my favourite bands at gigs. Tossers.
2:14 tho
which mixer simulation on ipad?
+Hasan Yolcu I would like to know too
+Daniel Calderon allen & heath
Michael Godfrey thank you!
Did you say you had one more video?
We still have Masquerade. :D
drummers anonymous Ah nice, I wish you had Windbreaker too
+Sam Tonkin enter shikari :3
Those vocals 3:26 - 3:47
Sadly those are the best vocals of the entire song and that's not saying much. This guy is killing this band.
You realise he didn't write the vocals to this song though?
Tyson Rees You mean lyrics?
RIP EVO Yes, sorry dad.
Tyson Rees It's OK son. Just try to do better next time.
Any idea which snare is he using?
It's his own custom Evett's snare, it's pretty cool, he posted a video about it on his channel, also I'm three months late sorry
Thanks mate, saw the video the video ur talking about, sounds huge!
Dude makes this look easy lol
3:19-3:25 filth
damn, small ass toms
Shit crowd, killer performance
what a boring crowd! I'd be all over it
This crowd ins't GANSTER
He skipped leg day
Whats wrong with the croud? Bored? Why?
