Conquer Divide "Nightmares" Drum Playthrough

[@russbradshawmusic]

Okay, you proved me wrong. I was skeptical of whether you could match up with Tamara, but that was flawless.

[@slandadrums]

I appreciate that, Russ! I know I have big shoes to fill.

[@russbradshawmusic]

@@slandadrums you sure do. She was my favorite person in the OG lineup. You're doing great though. Hopefully we can share the stage together one day.

[@slandadrums]

@@russbradshawmusic That would be awesome! Hope shows come back sooner than later. Definitely come say hi whether we're both playing or not.

[@scottmartin6594]

Right! Tamara left some complicated high energy parts. Sam kills it!! I'm impressed

[@Skywolf370]

The way you are so precise with that even thoug its so busy and the fact you are so relaxed in your style reminds me of Vlad Ulasevich from Jinjer.

[@JesusChavez-jp7sn]

These breakdowns are insane of another world proud of this girls💋😤

[@nemanjapudar201]

Great performance!

[@itzme_j3429]

[@slandadrums]

Thank you! Great meeting you too!

[@snekburrito]

The tom work in the chorus is so clever and earwormy dude. I absolutely love your drumming style

[@DimitriFantini]

so clean! I still need to work on that double kick balance exercise you did!

[@slandadrums]

Thanks! I find it really helpful!

[@mndoyon]

I’ve been a fan of Conquer Divide for years. I think you are a great addition to the group! Now I’m hooked for life. Being canadian, I hope it means more chance for us to see you guys in tour here. ;)

[@slandadrums]

Awesome to hear and thanks for telling me! I definitely hope there's Canadian touring when live music comes back. :)

[@AmrddH]

Yay Sam!

[@slandadrums]

[@LautaroQ2812]

One of the most fun ones to listen to imo, the drum flow is fantastic. Great playing. And the drums sound SO GOOD. Great equalization.

[@slandadrums]

Thanks Lautaro! And the audio production is my buddy Cody Johnstone.

[@TBSxDRUMS]

EPIC!!! Absolutely love to see drum videos. I’ve been drumming since 2006 and wish I could play something like this. The chorus definitely looks so fun, and all those double kicks... so good!

[@slandadrums]

Thanks so much Annelise! Just keep practicing and if you can't nail it, slow it down until you do!

[@leodistancebetween3875]

good spead on the dublle kicks!

[@slandadrums]

Thanks!

[@leenozatc125m5]

Love your finesse. Your last band reminds me of my old band No Assembly Required from Toronto. Miss those days indeed.... Slaynda it should be!! Cuz you are slayin that kit hun! Keep it up

[@Tycool2]

Kicking ass Sam!!

[@slandadrums]

Thank you!

[@bradleyhart8487]

[@slandadrums]

Yes! Thank you!

Excellent job Sam !

[@aldopachecoyu9456]

great!!!

[@slandadrums]

Thanks Aldo!

[@thehunterstruck]

I'm just gonna say this. Haven't listened to Conquer Divide in years but I think, depending how 2021 holds up y'all need to tour with absolutely badass all lady thrash metalers Nervosa! I think it would be a solid show to go to!

[@slandadrums]

Agreed 100%! I love those girls! Did you know I toured with them as their drummer on a few tours?

[@jamesdahl4919]

🤘 right on dude!!

[@slandadrums]

Thanks James!

[@summerholidayspeace]

The reason this song makes me cry is because of this drumming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rockninja10002]

AWESOME!! With the drums mixed higher I realize how much more technical and complex some of the beats of this song are on drums but you killed it 🤘🤘

[@slandadrums]

It's a really fun one! Thanks Brandon!

[@rockninja10002]

@@slandadrums also now with the drums mixed higher it makes it easier to learn it'll be a challenge but I think I can get there with more practice

[@TimMcfadden-i4h]

So….late to the party. Like a bazillion other people, I got to know Conquer Divides music from Electric Callboy. Honestly wish I had been exploring earlier than now. Anyway, I’m a guitarist/bassist/keyboardist/wannabe producer. I have a kit…and I’m awful. I can program enough drums to get by. But dear lord, as someone who has actually tried (and failed miserably) to actually be a drummer, I gotta say, you’re disgustingly good. I know it’s silly, but I’m SO IMPRESSED with your cymbal mutes! You make it look so easy! I tried that ONCE and ended up needing stitches! Luckily I was by myself and told everyone I cut myself shaving. Seriously, you’re incredible. If I find I drummer as talented as you, I might even stop using machines. Well…for drums at least.

[@CodyJohnstoneOfficial]

Beast!

[@masonc73]

I don't play drums, but they've always fascinated me and this is inspiring. I play music rhythm games that require very precise timing and coordination, so maybe I should take a crack at it. Hoping CD starts touring again, so I can see my first concert in 8 long years

[@justinm.1]

Niiice :) keep posting more on here 🤟🏼

[@slandadrums]

I finally have a release plan so you'll see more from me!

[@tarastegner915]

Your talent is insane. I'm glad I finally got to meet you in Ferndale MI at the show earlier this year. I can't wait to get to know you better!

[@slandadrums]

Thanks Tara!

🇧🇷😍I love! this band Conquer Divide. Only talented girls overpower.🤟🏻🎤🎸🥁🎶🎵🖤

[@slandadrums]

Muito obrigada Marcos!

[@MarkBrazil31]

@@slandadrums I thank you for producing these fantastic songs to make us happy and that we do so well, whether in bad or good times.🖤 Music is what excites me and puts me up most of the time. My biggest dream is to have my own successful metalcore rock band. However, this dream of mine is impossible to fulfill because of several factors.

[@blessthephil]

This is so cool. Btw I am from Haan which is close to Wuppertal where u recorded the Electric Callboy video. At least that's what I heard. That u filmed Fxckboi there in W-Tal. Which is so uncommon. Doing something musically there lol. 😂

[@joeymadara7266]

I thought the band was done. I hope yall come out with some new tunes! I wanna see what the new drummer is capable of

[@slandadrums]

Thanks Joey! It's tough because the drums should always match the music rather than just showing what I'm capable of, but hopefully you'll like what the band has coming out, and I'll be trying to post more videos on here as well. I'm a big fan of grooves mostly but I'll try to post some chops stuff at some point, haha.

[@rodent1563]

Shit! Nailed it!!

[@slandadrums]

Thank you!

[@x_Mep3aB4uK_x]

Damn, you're so fckn good)

[@Dragonguygly]

I think this is a better Mix than the original track, the drums are too quiet in the original track compared to the Vocals. (The drums are obviously slightly too loud here but it's a play through so there are intentionally supposed to be but I think it works better.) A good example of band with a spot on Drum mix is Architects. In the the original Nightmare track the drum mix is weak in the chorus especially the Snare and Kick. The breakdown is a perfect example the scream is way to high in the mix. Sometimes the kick sounds like a wet fart. Overall obviously I am a fan and I like the track but you get my point.

[@slandadrums]

Thanks Joel, appreciate your detailed thoughts! And Architects absolutely kills it with their drum sound.

[@CodyJohnstoneOfficial]

That's very kind of you to write, Joel! Mixing Sam's drums is always a treat :)
