This was insane. Seriously the stick breaking , playing with one stick, catching a stick, then breaking another all while liking and never missing the 1. Lil nick is a monster
Kevin Yuille Hey man, I saw your response to Eric MooreII . I just wanted to jump in and say this to try to help you out. First,ask yourself these questions. Why do you want to endorse a company? Who have you played for? Do you have a physical or electronic press kit for yourself ? Do you have material to send of yourself performing to companies? Do you have a discography of gigs,tours and or albums you recorded on? Have you influenced other drummers to buy the gear you currently play? Do you have a following of musicians who look up to you? Would you buy a company's product even if you weren't endorsing them? Do you have any of the company's products? Why do I say this? Cats tend to forget a endorsement is not about getting free gear,heck freebies only exist for "A List players" like Nisan Stewart, Eric,Tony Royster,Neil Peart and John "JR" Robinson because of their history/discography. In other words. Their work SPEAKS for them, they didn't need any help. At the end of the day you saying "I ENDORSE THIS PRODUCT" means "I believe in this product and you should buy this product because I use it" not because "This company chose to put me on and now I endorse them". Heck Rex Hardy (another DW endorsee) talks about endorsements too. He pretty much says they SAME thing I'm telling you. If you still want a endorsement, start out small, not with full on drum kit endorsements,build your way up to the big stuff. The hardest endorsements to get are Drum,Sticks,drumheads and some cymbal companies are REALLY strict on who they let on their roster. Thats all I have to say, Best of luck to you Kevin Yuille . -Teddy Grant (Moog167)
@2:16 smoothest thing I ever seen lol props to whoever threw the stick 🤣✊🏾. Timing is impeccable. Can't believe thod video 5 years old. Still feels new to this day.
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! I don't think i've ever smiled this much watching a drum video The fact you broke TWO STICKS, CAUGHT another, and never missed a beat? Wow. PHENOMENAL musicality. None of the chops/grooves sounded bad even with the 1 handed playing! Chops were extremely impressive & musical queues were on point! I'm going to rewatch this until the day I die. I love it. Nick Smith you're crazy my man.
Best Soultone Commercial! Interesting Track, creative Grooves, insane Fill Inns, playing forward what ever happens, this is what some Drummers wanna hear!
Você quando o cara é fera, quando a baqueta quebra e ele não deixa a música cair no andamento, e ainda manda vários gospel Chops com uma mão só hehehehe ! Nick Smith é top !
Of all the Nick smith videos I love this one the most! Nick Smith was KILLIN it with the one hand soloing then catching the other stick with the other hand and didn’t even miss a beat?! WHAT?!! Mad respect for Mr Smith! And to me the best part was at the end when he shouts out CAN’T STOP ME!!!🤯🤯
after watching this on drummers world this has got to be one of my favourite drumming videos, especially how he broke his sticks and still carried on playing, big up man
I have watched this video over 20 times in the last 2 days. Your smile enthusiasm is infectious, and your skill is inspiring. This is a blast to listen to and watch. Keep it up!
Wouldn't be surprised if Nick was using sound percussion sticks lol.. He killed this track.. Nobody has the right to ask for this track after what Nick just did... Period
jajaja, tuve que retroceder el video para darme cuenta en qué momento había quedado sin baqueta y entender la razón de porqué solo estaba tocando con una... Gran control y groove! Seco el hombre!
his timing is so precise! lord a gift from god. If I work hard enough I can get my chops as tight too. You inspire me man! Im gonna dedicate more time to my playing your good man. keep it up
Nick is just a true Musician. Stick broken?! Forget about it! Keep playing! Chops are insane! You can just see how happy he is when he plays. Such a skilled musician!
This man. He fears nothing. Breaking a stick twice, playing with one hand on two different sections, grooving and filling as if he had twenty sticks. Damn Mr. Smith, you must be a mutant from a secret underground drum empire.
I believe that version of his drumming is even better because he created something completely out of the box with one hand. Maybe the two handed version wouldn't sound THAT amazing. Nick is a beast!
I'm a young drummer who believe in the pocket but this video is sick. And for the record playing in a black church you will learn how to play with broken sticks your hands or one stick. Great job nick
Better with one hand then most drummers with two. He broke two sticks because the track was so sick. He got excited! I would too with that bad ass groove!
Once again like I said in his other videos everything you do Nick is just swag on the KIT killa....S.W.A.G. D.R.U.M.M.E.R.S. NICK SMITH... MY NIGGA HEADS UP TO YOU BRUH BRUH!!!
Nick I love watching your videos I have Ben playing drums since I was 3. And I have Ben studying you and I see lots if improvements. But I wanted to ask if you could play detric Haddon. Mighty god
This was insane. Seriously the stick breaking , playing with one stick, catching a stick, then breaking another all while liking and never missing the 1. Lil nick is a monster

My favourite drummer ! So inspiring ! smh
Words can never fully describe what just happened in this video.
Nick Smith is a beast. Crazy at 3:23
thank God soultone isn't a stick company.. Nick Smith.. insane...
This man. He fears nothing. Breaking a stick twice, playing with one hand on two different sections, grooving and filling as if he had twenty sticks. Damn Mr. Smith, you must be a mutant from a secret underground drum empire.
I just witnessed history this cat just lost his stick and finished like a beast
I believe that version of his drumming is even better because he created something completely out of the box with one hand. Maybe the two handed version wouldn't sound THAT amazing. Nick is a beast!
That was sick! I didn't even notice the 1st stick broke until they threw another.
Exactly. That's how sick this dude is! Even with one stick it sounds like he's playing with two
To the 7 people that gave this a thumbs down.....God Bless You....
Never gets old man! Hellyeahh
Two sticks down and still killing it bruh the man destroyed the kit with one hand
this one stick action then the catch.......had me hollering
nice with the stick improv....Good stuff
Crazyy.... awesome video man. That's a tight track also.
Yup.. Still my most favourite drummer!!!

I'm a young drummer who believe in the pocket but this video is sick. And for the record playing in a black church you will learn how to play with broken sticks your hands or one stick. Great job nick
And catch sticks
Unfair, simply unfair....
the fluidity of 2:26 is mad.
Better with one hand then most drummers with two. He broke two sticks because the track was so sick. He got excited! I would too with that bad ass groove!
Unstoppable!!! real dope!
Lots to like here, nice shops
He even caught the stick on beat smh
