Queens of the Stone Age - Song for the Dead (Drum Cover by Leonid Nikonov)

[@Hollowsmith]

There's no way to know if a drummer passes the Song For The Dead test until the last 10 seconds lol.

[@overnightgrowth]

I don't play drums but that drum intro must be one of the funnest things to play :D

[@nikonovdrums]

OverNightGaming You right!)

[@chasedeery1665]

And one of the hardest lol

[@burcolclone8322]

And the part at the end tho...

[@sebastiansubia4090]

It is sooooo much fun to play 😂

[@theeternaltao9036]

It’s very useful as a warm up before a rehearsal or a gig

[@armandomorales10]

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!

[@evertcruz3128]

Amazing!!! I really like the way u have to play drums. Greetins from México!

[@GossGGoss]

One of the most effortless and fantastic executions of drum covers of that song I've heard. My hat is off to you, Leonid. That has to be why you become a drummer, to be able to play a song like that. I imagine that has to be one of the most fun songs ever to drum to.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!

[@sleepertrue1405]

Nice Sound!!! Nice Ending!!!!!

[@alexxitoprivacy5189]

Best cover I've ever seen in my life. You deserve a sub, a like and a lot of shares. That hi-hat, the fills, the consistency, everything is just perfect, never ever seen such a perfect and accurate cover.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You 🙏

[@PeacefulLunatic]

Man, this is amazing! You played it so well! And I also live this song, one of the best QOTSA song for me.

I've been trying to learn this song and I have to say, that cover is freaking amazing. You make it look so easy and effortless, well done bro.

[@Phloptical]

I’ve been trying to play that song right since it came out. You make it look effortless. Outstanding!

[@IFeelLikeKramer]

This video deserves way more recognition man. Amazing cover and video.

[@ianwilson4219]

Can you make a video how you tune your toms? Those sound amazing!

[@nikonovdrums]

I thing someday i'll do it!))

[@chunkymonkey3957]

I have no other words but, incredible. I struggle badly with this song. Your high hat consistency is fantastic. You must have a metronome in your left foot. Great audio too, just right for the song.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!🤗

[@mayflyforyou]

I know this is an old video, but I love this song and you did such an amazing job! I love watching drum covers.

[@drummer93ful]

Leonid Nikonov that uses snare?

[@matthewjames206]

Gosh damn. That was flawless. So much style and power. This is seriously one of the greatest drum parts ever. In my opinion at least. And I've always wondered how it was done on the kit. Anyway, this looked and sounded great.

[@jordanr897]

Those triplets at the end are so awesome. Nice work man

[@thewedge8823]

если честно, звук и объем у тебя круче чем на альбоме. зашло!!

[@nikonovdrums]

Спасибо, но нужно учитывать, что сыграно поверх оригинального трэка, т.е. оригинальные барики как бы подмешаны.)

[@msmichydo]

I love the dynamics of how you play - you make this look so damn seamless. Amazing cover.

[@jackpatricklang]

Dude how do you tune you're toms to get such a nice thump?? are they both low? is it a trick of the reso to batter head relationship?? cos mine sound like shit and I can't seem to get them to sound any better Btw seriously the most effortless cover I've ever seen! amazing

[@nikonovdrums]

Jack fin Nothing special, man. Batter head is remo coated emperor tuned even and low, reso head is remo clear ambassador tuned even and medium tight.

[@KISSIOZoSo]

[@danmccarthy3366]

This cover is so good it's better than the original. In this version the drums have more of an echo that makes them less flat than the original.
