You should start doing whole songs as series Top to bottom, the full shabang

[@northtimo666]

Yes yes

[@fabian_7115]

... and then throw them into an album!! I WANT to listen to it on spotify.

Jesus Christ what I just stumble on to? This riff(s) is shaking the earth. Sub.

Welcome to the TRCU (Thick Riff Cinematic Universe) 🙌

[@kelly.householder]

Welcome to the Man! Nick kills it.

[@certified_jackass]

Nick is the goat, watch the other episodes, the last few have been absolutely nasty

[@LestatAlone]

Welcome to Thicc Riff family!

[@carazy123_]

How many times will I comment “you’ve outdone yourself with this one” before I realize you are just consistently getting better man

[@jonasmoldov]

This gives some old school Periphery/Monuments vibe! Stellar as always 👌

[@TorqueBow]

That first riff is VERY periphery, love love love all your work!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks dude!

[@KaiDown]

This might be the most ADHD episode yet, and I'm here for it. Side note, "the camera overheated while I was tracking bass" would be the perfect cover for "I just bounced out the MIDI bass" 🤨

[@matt6288joyce]

I have no shame in admitting that Thursdays have become one of my favourite days of the week. Drums sounded awesome as a nice switch up

[@Hiei999]

I am glad there was Organic, Ethically Sourced, Free Range Bass. How convenient the camera overheated, lol

[@BrentleyWhite]

One of the best channels I’ve come across, ever.

[@AndrewSFX]

Absolutely love watching you cook up mega riffs every week! This slaps hard! 🔥These vids always get me so inspired to write afterwards. Keep em coming! 🤌🏻

[@mynameiscalledtony]

You’ve always been one of my favorite guitar content creators, and the DBZ/Zelda references solidify that even further 😂 the riffs are also super inspiring!

[@KNITTEDmusic]

For the love of God, PLEASE CONTINUE WRITING THIS RIFF!!! P.S.- Thanks for utilizing something from RS Drums. They don't get the love they deserve.

[@CZitoMusic]

So sick love those lead tones and that drum kit is nasty 🔥🔥

[@natorious314]

Loved it dude. Love the tip at the end, sometimes breaking routine is exactly what is needed to spark inspiration. Thanks for dropping bangers in my sub box every week!

[@akimbo.1887]

Thanks for making me aware of RS Drums. I gotta support the dude Anup whenever possible.

[@kylediehl0031]

Much love from Ohio! Love this series, I've been watching for the better part of the last year and a half. Your progression from just making your old ideas shine and adding small parts, to writing fresh riffs and making full productions has been super sick to watch.

[@dafi_music]

Thick Riff Vol. 2 will go hard

[@mileshurst9823]

these drums are insane out the box wow

[@gregorydelaplace5776]

There's an Alkaline from Sleep Token vibe with the soft piano, I can't unheard it 😭😭😭

[@graysonbergquist]

Your videos inspire and educate me while I do homework and make me want to write more music! Thanks for posting videos that are so comforting and helpful in so many ways!

[@guitarmichael]

Mr Clean back again with another thick riff

[@ApoteosisGuitar]

This fucking thing is the best riff I've ever heard in my time on Earth. GOD it goes so fucking hard. I just wrote a song yesterday trying to emulate your workflow and I was pretty pumped about it too, until now hahahah Insane job, man

[@BrandonHartOfficial]

The thing I REALLY hate about these videos is.... .... nothing. So good, Nick!

[@kamilsliw19941]

@Nick Broomhall use the riff you played with the clean amp as an intro, have the last note (quarter) delay out 3 times before on the 4th count it all cuts to silence. Then, on the 1, everything kicks in full-force.

[@unholy_ghost8112]

TRT turning DBZ? 👀 Was a pleasure to speak with you on Monday man! What a riff 🤘

[@nathanstatham]

"feelin a little zesty, whatever that means" ... alright whos gonna tell him? 🤣

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I fear I may not be as chronically online as I thought

[@nathanstatham]

@@nickbroomhallmusicit’s the zoom in as you say it that kills me 🤣

[@alexstork6436]

Anyone else think that some Deftones style vocals would make this badass and haunting

[@Minkfost]

bro wtf everything you write turns to gold

[@Ant-Dj0nt]

Man, I'd love to see a video on how you mix / your processing. Even while tracking your mixes sound so good!

[@joelprince1434]

Road to 100k subs here we come!

[@kelly.householder]

I think we need this new template. There is some great sound in this. Great writing, as you always do. I loved this one, man. Hard core, for sure.

[@ChristopherOdd]

I've got a challenge for ya! Stephen Wilson Jr - Father's Son, but make it HEAVY AF

[@jprprojects]

Love this when you added the lead melodies

[@adamdavis307]

my cup of tea, that one!

[@Даниил-ы3ш3ц]

To overcome writer's block you need some chunky riffa

[@maxutaibi5986]

Love Chimaira. They were a riff and breakdown factory.

[@Merkhhhhh]

Theyre back together and touring!

[@DEllisMusic]

Sick as always! You oughta do a part 2 with some metric modulation 😎

[@ChaseGnos]

11:44 Transition level 9000🔥

[@theinfinitemyth]

Chef's kiss. I have had such a difficult time with writer's block for about a month now and this is inspiring. Keep up the awesome work! Also love the DBZ references 🙂

[@Bruno._Browne]

10:17 such a sick idea where the lead does this, banger video bro 🤌

[@alexkaminsky210]

The decay of the shoegaze lead over the riff is 🥲

[@bobwarren4707]

Awesome video again, love your writing process and the songs

[@Tofuisvegan]

The tone bro…holy guacamole 😟 (my brain turned to guacamole)

[@daninjaman]

Sick dude! Always making powerful riffs.

[@alexbossie3240]

At first I was like hell yeah, then I was like HELL YEAH

[@part-timeadult8981]

It's the year 2024 and it's now acceptable to record your guitar riffs note by note and no one would notice but even if they didn't they would care. I wish I could tell this to my younger self, I could have been Misha Mansoor by now 💀

[@mfcfbro]

My favorite holiday is back again.

[@batbeardscs]

Threw the piano straight into the hole!

[@TBJimmyify]

Man do I love Thursdays…

[@radbradmusicartist]

Ive had like 300 flp files that I'd open and hear a drum beat or melody I made and start something new because I didn't wanna deal with it 😂 and of course I'd name files something like "fjgkdpejrbv" so I have no idea what Im clicking on. My project files felt like onion links 😂

[@benstanfill363]

I have so many stupid names for files.

[@lukehampson8195]

Nick this is tough

[@bcz_akos]

huge Phronesis vibes

[@Ghostbearstudios]

Yo, I've been eyeing the fairview for a bit but after seeing this and what drewsif did with the monarch I'm definitely grabbing that.

[@nooneinparticular9868]

super enjoyed this one. Hated the drum tones solo. But they mix super well

[@ScratchBashing]

Dude. The "complex riff" is just 🤌🤌

Idk why but that intro gave me Letter Experiment vibes

[@djinnkinn]

would love to see a template with the monarch drums ive been loving the p5 one so far

[@Sabar0_S]

Nick Boomerhall. Zesty does not mean what you think it means, but keep rocking

[@burtsgurt]

And what exactly are you referring to it meaning? Don’t tell me more dumb kids have gone and made another basic word derogatory

[@taylorvolleberg]

Dude!!! Ben Burnley would crush this song!!! This is absolutely a BB jam! Lol please at least reach out to the man.

[@BlakeLW]

Plini’s plugin goes so hard. I gotta use it more…

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

For sure! I’m not crazy about the cab, I feel like it’s a little low middy but pairing it with some GGD cabs sounded sick

[@jason_kovach]

The DBZ Title card got me 😂😂

[@benstanfill363]

PLEASE check out MDL tones ultimate heavy drums. They are insane and SUPER easy to work with.

[@codexstudios]

I managed to get a good Thall sound out of them, so I'd love to know what Nick could do with it

[@burtsgurt]

Ultimate Heavy Drums are Very good!!

[@JesseDKangas]

Do you like the GGD stuff? Does it work well with Logic? Keith Merrow was shitting on it not too long ago.

[@gnarzen8741]

10:25 DOG!

[@supraluvers]

Thick riffs and dbz references all at once? And even a little Zelda.. lol this channel wins

[@kyleritter3074]

Funny, start from scratch to help with writers block... I always start from scratch and can't come up with shit anymore.

The main idea is to just get yourself outside of your creative comfort zone!

[@AlDente92]

All I saw were 3 dudes two stepping in the middle of the circle pit

[@gdj20]

Look forward to these every week! I'm curious, Nick. I have the P5 kit, and I was wondering what all you use on your drum bus to make it sound so good in your songwriting template. Keep shredding!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks! If I remember correctly, I think it’s mostly just the virtual mixbus, the monster (in parallel) and FG Grey from Slate!

[@gdj20]

@nickbroomhallmusic Thanks for the response!

[@gabrielribeirosilva7879]

like moths to flames kinda riff ?

[@TilleyParker]

bro how are you getting away without using low latency mode in logic? I get hella latency when tracking on Mac M1

[@FABIANOALMEIDA-dr7bu]

I think you should try something Meshuggah-inspired someday, it would be awesome.

[@JustinTutor]

@10:24 that's a good dog

[@randallismyhandle]

It’s important to reward yourself with a sip of watered down diet coke after a good take 🥰

[@alex.charles2]

so when is the organic free range bass recipe dropping

[@emeryhamilton5934]

can we get thall next week pls?

[@sahamal_savu]

Maybe that's my problem...I start like this every time lol Also...someone get this man a proper drink. Watered down diet coke sounds awful.

[@thecoleh3311]

Hey Nick quick question. Did you go to school for audio engineering, music, ect? Keep killin it brotha!

[@aaronlawson203]

ya know.... i say that all the time lmao. next time on dragon baaaaaaaaaall zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@romaliwhispers]

is the over heated camera a gopro ?

[@johnnybeef1]

What if, just what if....I've had a riff that was TRT ready, and I'm from Ohio, and I hate the Bengals and Reds, and graduated from THE, and am in love with plenty of other Ohio teams (north of Cincy, but still in OH)? Then what? Seriously bro, I found you bc of your NFL intro riff which was amazing. I'm subscribed, I'm shipping you $5 a month. Whatever, enough about me, I have friends that tell me that I write a ton of things that sound great (riffs), but yet I don't know how to put them into full riffs, can you coach me? I might be a one off, I'm 44 and gave up guitar in 2002 after playing for 10 years. I've gotten back into it. I'd like to send you a lot more than $5 a month. Wait, I said I was done talking about me. HAHAH
