AURAS - "Chimerical" (Drum Playthrough)

[@LuisGonzalez-ip8jp]

Changed my life 10 years ago. Still crossing the space time Continuum

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

Still one if the best songs ever composed. Please play this when Auras finally hit the UK!

[@gmxhntr]

I'm steel amazed by this song. What a beautiful harmony. Thank you!

[@markchamorro8409]

I come back to this video once in awhile. Just to see how far y’all have progressed! This was my favorite song when this album dropped!

[@halareis]

omg I love that fucking breadown, it is so calm and omg 2:09

[@Mabdog3597]

This song taught me what ghost notes were 8 years ago. Had to come back and groove again. Been drumming on and off since 2007 or so. Still haven't reached this tier performance level. I'm all breakdowns lol

[@briantopps5638]

I just learned the first minute. Nathan is straight up nasty

[@clayman478]

One of my favorite drummers ever.

[@briantopps5638]

Nathan is slept on. Lowkey one of the best metal prog drummers out there

[@zerofender]

I like the floating floor tom, also I thought these drums were programmed in the song except for the snare ghost notes. That is a compliment.

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

This video is at the top of my music list for 2023 🤘 Probably much like previous years, but I never checked those 😅

[@NathanBulla]

Good question! I actually have regular foam earplugs in, and have towels in my drums and tape under my cymbals. I have the song blasting out of a PA wedge to my left - you can probably see it in a couple shots. This is a video technique i got from doing some music videos in the past!

[@abelcordero7986]

Out of all the songs I’ve EVER listened to, the part that starts at 2:10 is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Never gets old how heavy that is.

[@boobmonter64]

@AurasOfficial STOP SEARCHING that sounds beautiful hahah i was just gonna ask about it dude. it sounds amazing i just gotta get an 18" china now hahah

[@x-Gingerbeard-x]

UNBELIEVABLE, this tone comes from this kit? It sounds so much bigger! Schweeettttt!

[@fallloftroy]

I honestly feel like you guys are the next periphery or Scale the Summit. So talented, and tight.

[@dylanfigge5280]

No mics guys. He's just giving a visualization. Although I'm very aware he is the one that recorded the song.

[@danielluxi9899]

Could watch this over and over again. So freaking awesome! His ghost notes are just insane. Hes got bis own unique drum style. I Love it.

[@YodaIsUber]

Omg your style is so amazing You use everything and very well too And im liking all the ghost notes on the snare 3:18...so satisfying

[@GOEBOT]

I can’t believe I just discovered you guys (Auras). You guys a freaking magical! Keep up the amazing work and be sure to have tons of fun doing it!

[@x-Gingerbeard-x]

P.S. I know, the drums here in this song are already processed, but it's amazing seeing someone play it on this kind of kit, using as little as possible, but still slamming the hell out of his drums! :D

[@BenKazenoff]

this is absolutely dirty dude, amazing

[@chrisbedan]

Dammit.... i love that break, soo much....

[@NathanBulla]

i expected you to have less expectations! :)

[@MrServin95]

Your motions remind me a lot of Matt Halpern. Nice!

[@AurasOfficial]

@Drumtome the bell of the cymbal! In the studio I used a Meinl Classics 8" bell, but live i prefer the natural feel of a cymbal's bell ;)

[@keyowah1]

I think this is the best thing I've ever seen on youtube

[@PaddyChanUK]

definitely a drummer who "is at one" with his kit! knows exactly how to get the best sounds out of it!

[@Pauly027]

been watching this for the last two years. still mazing

[@keyowah1]

me too. I began to learn to play it today, the first few seconds already took me hours, lel.

[@DavieDrums]

Mr. Bulla you are wicked awesome man...and you know I will say this every I see you drum!!!

[@TheDuncanwilliams]

This is sooo fucking good ..Most stoked I've been on music this heavy in a while! Its so fun to listen to..!

[@AurasOfficial]

@iloveskateboarding45 Yea i've always done the multi-purpose ride thing, and have had 3 Sweet Rides in the past - but I've never been fully satisfied by anything! I've recently been endorsed by TRX Cymbals, so I have a full set coming in before the tracking of our upcoming EP. The versatility of these cymbals are unbelievable!! Keep an eye out for em in future cover/playthrough vids!

[@NathanBulla]

@StolenMicrophone caught me!! i'm surprised you didn't call out the random snare stroke i threw in while filming... note-for-note matching (even for my own parts) proved to be more difficult than i had anticipated!

[@klitoop0792]

Amazing drummer and music.

[@clayman478]

Nathan is one of the best! Disappointed i missed my chance to see them in Elizabethton TN.

[@AurasOfficial]

@TheAntimetal the "weird" stack is just an old 18" Sabian china with an inverted hihat! in the studio, it was a 14" New Beat top with a chunk out of it, but for this vid i threw a 12" Dream Bliss bottom - which also sounds rad! I'm still searching for my perfect stack combo...

[@FeehDeedo]

I'm already in love for the band *-*

[@AurasOfficial]

@iloveskateboarding45 the stack is just an old 18" Sabian china with an inverted hihat! in the studio, it was a 14" New Beat top with a chunk out of it, but for this vid i threw a 12" Dream Bliss bottom - which also sounds rad! I'm still searching for my perfect stack combo!

[@AurasOfficial]

@S006Deluxe In this video you'll see a custom 14x6.5 20ply Essex County Drums snare with 4 two-inch vent holes...this thing is a beast! Usually I use a 14x6.5 Pearl Sensitone Elite snare, which is extremely versatile, and i usually use in the studio. Thanks!

[@incide1488]

Awesome. That fill at 2:10 was groovy as fuck. Loved it

[@Jack15697]

That's the correct way to enter in a breakdown...

[@dblxxd4ever]

Soo awesome. What a Track, what a Band. This is my reference of Metal.

[@AurasOfficial]

@mrd00i it's coming up really close to the ten year mark when I got my first drum kit!

[@gamefreak249]

Fucking brutal! I love all the ghost on the snare you've got placed in here, so sick!

[@reidreflex]

brilliant Nathan, just plain brilliant!!!

[@erikmartin1045]

WOW! I watch a lot of awesome KZbin videos but this is one hell of a song! Great drumming!

[@nataleal666]

The legend 🇧🇷🔥

[@AurasOfficial]

@iloveskateboarding45 I actually have no idea what either of those dudes use, but it looked to me like Navene had more of an auxiliary trash-hat type thing live. Rudi seems to use different stuff - yesterday I was watching his promo video for the Classics Extreme Metal series, and the stack seemed to have a decent-sized crash on top! I never did any research on the stacks, just reached in my closet and grabbed whatever sounded neat... there are TONS of options!!

[@artcellrox]

Yeah, they do. Eric Almeida. Check out this KZbin channel for both versions of both songs, or go to the Bandcamp link in the video description to download them for free.

[@mrd00i]

the entire song just grooves. jealous forever :(

[@padarg]

@Drumtome i see what you are saying, i saw that too, but honestly its a new perspective and approach and it intrigues me!

[@lateralusaint]

awesome job dude i think i was just promoted 2 a fan. :d

[@dedebhaskara]

awesome skills. outstanding movements !

[@Getthedog]

Sounds so good 🔥

[@THEZYGOMADISPOSAL]

so much epicness

[@AaVeck]

so nice to see such awesome talent in an upcoming band.

[@WilsonJimenez]

I love this song, band, and drummer. Real grooves.

[@jessechisel126]

I only hope to someday be this good at composing and playing drums.

[@AllianceMG]

Incredible song

[@padarg]

@AurasOfficial im very excited for you man! i hear the TRX's in all the orbins videos i watch and they sound amazing and are sooo versatile. congrats dude! Hey check out Rosewood, were a band from Ontario/Montreal and we really love your stuff and it would mean a lot to us :)

[@fortune1]

2:55 tom sounds like snare, magic

[@briantopps5638]

Yeah the album drums are mixed with this take. That how 98% of them do it

[@Guitar_daddy2016]

dude ur awesome i like ur drum kit digging the rainbow drum kit man and im serious i really do like it! keep it up bro!! your a awesome drummer

[@Ryannsays]

i love how your set is different colors, haha i thought i was the only one who did that.

[@MitchReitmanOnDrums]

My god, you are just amazing.

[@drummermantim]

just killing it!

[@tiaoizaque]

serio uma das minhas bandas preferidas ! Auras lool ... lool

[@Cartmanstbest]

mind-blowing

[@AurasOfficial]

@iloveskateboarding45 hahah well i hate the top too, but i've been lost/lazy with how to cut it properly and not slice my hand afterwards while playing...i'm getting something called the RemoteSpeedyHat which will let me get that low level hihat I desire, along with putting it out in front of me - really cool invention! As far as a ride, I do indeed use one, but i crash it more than ride it. I always need both cymbals to have prominent, articulate bells so I'll sometimes use 2 rides.

[@LucasAdverse]

freaking awesome bro!

[@NotiFawkes]

You guys sound amazing.

[@BenKazenoff]

Really amazing job dude. very impressed. sick song as well

[@GuItArKiKsAsS]

so sick dude! I love how subtle yet brutal 2:12 is. Good work guys!

[@deathalizer420]

very smooth! im diggin it.

[@AurasOfficial]

@iloveskateboarding45 yea man for sure! now i see which one you're referring to, and i agree - it's badass!! i'm gonna try to go with a 16" china bottom next time cause i'm finding the 18" to be a little space-invading when i want to be compact...

[@ETwithaC]

Sick dude!

[@padarg]

@AurasOfficial thats the best part, im trying to find one that suits my style. the one rudinger used for just the two animals vids is something id LOVE to try though

[@kanakin7000]

nice sofa haha sick drumming dude

[@anxo7039]

amazing

[@wrouxmer]

Imo best drum playthrough I've seen.

[@danielluxi9899]

Yeah ist awesome but watch: Chris Turner - High Horse! But Nathan is also one of man favorite drummers.

[@keyowah1]

I think Alex Rüdinger is also technically a monster, but Nathan's style of playing is still the one I feel and admire the most.

[@rooneyrodriguez11]

wow this was fucking awesome bro you should do another video like this.

[@RIPDIMEBAG71]

Your left hand is so damn fluid!

[@farhat531]

SICK!!!!!!!

[@ConspiracyCanuck]

Nathan man, killin it, so pissed i left c-bridge, me and Horniblow were gonna start a band again buuut im not in town now :( lol i have to come see a show with like David Sackey, Rahib and steve and everyone and shit. Ps are you guys gonna be playing with Intake cause i thought i heard Matt saying you were :) cause that would be toooo dope of a show lol... props man!!!!! i can see you gettin big like the Twin is now :)

[@NathanBulla]

I'm not sure! All I know is that it would be tough for me to execute everything smoothly at a slower pace, on top of remembering little parts - plus i'm not really sure how i can speed something up to match the song perfectly...

[@timburak]

UNREAL!

[@homoerectus666]

Hey Nathan can u please breakdown that fill @ 2:10 that leads into that awesome groove ?!

[@Madvillian01]

daammmnnnnnnn, nice job man!

[@travenator16]

legend

[@FeehDeedo]

Incridible

[@jackieeethepwner]

man that high hat in the china gives it a really cool sound nice :D

[@padarg]

@AurasOfficial thats sick though, i use a ride as a crash, but mainly because i like a small ass kit haha. so you dont always use two 'A' customs up top?

[@emaxeneize5468]

pero que buen tema!! donde puedo conseguir su musica??

[@iseecolin]

its a stack, its a china with i think maybe a splash flipped to sit in the china. idk what two cymbals they are though.

[@NathanBulla]

bang on dude ;) music video style!!

[@immortalcoils93]

I play with A customs also. what size are those? 17" and 19" maybe?

[@ImDatOoz]

Amazing dude ! all of you'r parts are just sick fuck !

[@TheMarco1492]

1:15 this part daaaamn is sound so greeeat

[@k_bsh]

I'm not hearing the ghost notes in the recording, though I would like to!

[@itsDarrell]

what is the china in the place where a ride would be?

[@keyowah1]

perfect

[@JJalapenoss4l]

What kind of china cymbal is the one thats in the middle of your set up? I love how crisp it sounds. :)

[@Drumtome]

I can't find that bell anywhere lol. 0:56

[@1515dexter]

dude ur kit sounds so nice do u have mics because i dont see them

[@xam154]

that was fucking awesome.
