Love The Warning. They Blew Kiss off the Stage on that Tour

[@goofayoo]

Nice job, man. Scott's drumming on that album is just phenomenal, from start to finish.

[@MrNickDrummer]

I agree, Scott is super talented. Thanks!

[@robertartese808]

F'in Awesome! Great job! Drums are my second love after guitar. I loved that!

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you! 🤘🏻

[@helenabasquette7222]

im a 56 yr old guitarist always wished i had a drummer like you in my back pocket you can play anything😀✌️

[@guilhermerodriguespaiva7787]

Great Scott Rockenfield!

QUE MAN TAN TESO UN CLASICO DE QUEENSRYCHE....... LOS DUROS DEL ROCK 80S. 1984 sono rodven

[@ShadovvV]

F*cking beautiful. Well done, sir. I've been a drummer most of my life and I can say for certain that this is an extremely difficult song to play on drums (as is everything on "The Warning", for the most part). Bravo.

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you for the comment! 👍 For some reason (maybe because I've been listening to Ryche forever) their songs aren't that hard for me to learn / play. But I agree, The Warning isn't a walk in the park, it takes some time. Eyes of a Stranger and Walk in the Shadows weren't too difficult either. Mike Mangini is very difficult for me to learn... Breaking all Illusions took a long time to get it somewhat close to what he did.

[@Gajeman]

Killer! That was a real treat. Thank you, sir! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you for watching!

[@MateoOrtiz-d2o]

he makes it look so easy!

Thank you!

[@baldurval1]

I love the sound of your tom toms man ,old school

[@LordRigon]

Never saw a copy of this played on drums. You nailed it!

[@stevencarcasole4100]

That was awesome .... well done 👍🥁👍

[@maurodonati]

Old Queensryche is the best !!!! Muito bom Nick. Excelente mixagem, excelente música, excelente cover. Valeu por me fazer lembrar dos bons tempos da década de 80. Cada vez melhor "my friend"..........

[@SuperNick090]

Awesome drum cover !!! One of many of my favorites from Queensryche!!!

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks man! Old Queensrÿche is the best.

[@UofMicers]

WOW, you KILLED it man! Ryche ON! I closed my eyes and listened and thought I was listening to Scott Rockenfield pound out this track. Friggin awesome dude!

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you! It's a tricky song to play on drums, so it was fun to learn it and play. Scott is awesome!

[@alvarofigueroa653]

Outstanding

[@ClarenceDoskocil]

Incredible.

[@blkhwkbob]

Amazing. Just amazing.

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelfitzsimmons1394]

i am a drummer and utterly in the vein of what you play. your kit is spectacular and your playing is spot on. Before the Storm.....aaahh what a brilliant song from a brilliant lp. your covers are just like mine. The way you've got your drums tuned is what I like, but have trouble perfecting.

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you very much! Tuning is all about detecting the fundamental pitch of the drum and getting the heads near that pitch and stretching them during tuning. It's easier than it sounds.

[@taloscraig1265]

Excelent!

[@cpompeu004]

Mr.Nick, how are you? how are you? Do you have the sheet music for this song?

[@MrNickDrummer]

Doing great, thanks. No I don't, I've learned this song by ear.

[@fernandofernandez5719]

Just perfect

[@LAURKGB]

I just listen this song and i like very much drum track and now i search for drum covers. You rock. \m/ \m/

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you! 👍

[@orishem8392]

Holyyyyy damn bro. Trying to figure out drums on this album and queensrych in general is impossible and yet you do it so beautifully. Thank for helping me understand how to play this song and a few more :) Kudos to you you are a god this song is so hard to play

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you! Scott's trick in many songs is to start drum fills and stop abruptly to start another one in the same space. Once you break it down like that and your brain gets used to it, it becomes a lot easier 👍

[@orishem8392]

@@MrNickDrummer Thanks! I actually have incorporated this exact trick into my own drumming, it sounds so good keep rockin

[@Queens9999]

Do you think he initially intended this or it just happened and he said oh i like this and started doing it regularly?​@MrNickDrummer

[@mauriciocorreia6001]

Thanks for this video, I as guitar and bass player recently buyed an electronic drum just to feel the parts, always love that parts and was thinking how Scott did. Now I can watch and learn if I can.... (just to clarify, as closer I can with an electronic drum, for sure, we need a kit´s drum like Nick´s ones to reach out something good with this Metal Masterpiece...)

[@MrNickDrummer]

Hey thanks for the comment and good luck with your new kit!

[@RickMcGhee108]

Very nice

[@rickytuarte5754]

i have to tell you, you nailed it the sound of your drums, killer, great job.... keep pounding.....

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks man!

[@romariolopes4145]

Perfect

[@PapaiUrsolino]

Great job! Maybe "Warning" one day?

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you, yes Warning is a great song, I'll learn it some day.

[@danielfrank8982]

...great stuff!!! :-)

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks!

[@josephgonzales9169]

Scott Rockenfield is the GREATEST progressive metal drummer of all time..and yes I'm not afraid to say it... 🤘

[@juvenalafonsoroveroni1417]

Great man. Please "En Force"

[@MrNickDrummer]

That's a great song! It's on the list, thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@cpompeu004]

Nr.Nick In your opinion, what is the most complex groove on Scott Rockenfield's "Queensryche?

[@MrNickDrummer]

Hard to tell. Scott is somehow easy for me to learn. I'd say anything from their EP Queensryche and from The Warning is a bit more challenging. Now, what is difficult for me is Mike Mangini (Dream Theater) and some tunes from Chris Quirarte (Redemption) - Check my "At Day's End" cover and "Breaking All Illusions" - those were a lot of work to learn / memorize and execute as they demand brain power.

[@dcmusix3260]

Fantastic

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you!

[@leonelmena959]

Wow!!!

[@MichaelBrown-ut9qx]

Superb I love that album especially no sanctuary and before the storm. You nailed it. You got a subscriber. Show me something

Nice work, my friend!!

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks!

[@markusorth5450]

Great work man! Scott's work on The Warning is incredible and this is one of my favorite songs to airdrum to. It's a shame you don't live near Philadelphia. We could find a couple guitar players and jam.

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks! Well my days of hauling gear are over, now I just enjoy playing at home and recording/mixing covers 👍🏻

[@azwris]

Bravo Nick!!!

[@EricFDrums]

that was a great cover of the song and really dig your kit!!! i did a few QR Covers and they arent necessarily easy!

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you for the comment! Walk in the shadows was uploaded last month in case you like Rage for Order.

[@EricFDrums]

@@MrNickDrummer I'll check it! Subbed your channel!!

[@luish777]

Dam good job 👍early Ryche nice

[@luish777]

Not an easy song to do a lot of twist and turns in it good gob again

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks for both comments! Yep it's a detailed song - lots of fun to play.

[@rychen1]

Awesome Job!!! what is the ride that you are using on this?

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you, the ride was custom made for me in 2004, it's a 22" Paiste Heavy Bell Ride Reflector. They used to offer this ride only in size 20" - it has been discontinued a long time ago, unfortunately.

[@rychen1]

Thanks for getting back to me so fast, it sounds Great!! Lucky you!

[@qryche1967]

Ryche On!

[@javiersarasua9254]

Congratulations, nice sound.. One question: Did you get this sound just using the Mackie Onyx preamps and the DAW plugins?

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks! Yes, recorded flat into Logic 9 via Mackie Onyx. Mixed using Logic 9 as well, no special plug ins at all.

[@mythsqueuemusic]

Snare sounds so damn beefy like a gunshot or something lol

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks man, Ludwig hammered black beauty just fits on any mix, perfectly.

[@robfurnari1]

Perfect!!!

[@MrNickDrummer]

Not really but thanks!! 👍🏻

[@TimeRequiem]

Awesome cover!!! I will do a collaboration cover of „En Force“ and „Neue Regel“.. have you intress to do drums for one of this tracks or both? Best regards Andreas

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thank you, I have never tried to play those two songs, maybe some day. I usually don't do collaborations because I'm very picky about the final mix, usually they never sound the way they could or should sound, but thanks for the invite!

[@waqqodonkey]

what is that china? please and are all those cymbals Paiste?

[@MrNickDrummer]

In this cover I used a 20" Wuhan China. And yes, all other cymbals are Paistes - RUDE, Signature Reflector and one old Sound Formula Reflector (right next to the Rude Crash).

[@billnipp2309]

cool drumming. why gloves sometimes and sometimes not? thx

[@MrNickDrummer]

Thanks! I use gloves when there are several cymbal chokes in a song - sweaty fingerprints on cymbals are a pain to clean up 😎

[@billnipp2309]

I tried batting gloves years ago but I lost the feel for the sticks and never used them again. and I agree, sweaty prints are a bitch haha

[@gerardof1585]

Terrible ! Congratulations !
