Drum Teacher Reacts: Nine Inch Nails - MARCH OF THE PIGS/PIGGY LIVE - ILAN RUBIN Drum Cam

[@ninRAIDER]

Nine Inch Nails is and has always been a masterclass of musicians. It may sound like noise at times but it is in fact beautiful music.

[@jmoney6900]

NIN is Trent with the other members making up the band solely for live performances. This isn’t to take away from their talent but they r simply performing their scripted parts.

[@Electric1Shadow5]

Saying “keep your shoulders and elbows in a nice relaxed position” over a still frame of Ilan’s shoulders in his ears, hair flying around, and elbows above his head is great😂

[@el-violador]

If you ever get to see NIN live you simply have to. Trent essentially writes all but the drums played on the kit (though he made the solo for Piggy in a mic check. The man is a musical beast. He even does saxophone among other things). The beauty is seeing everyone in the touring group move between the instruments. I don't think 1 live band member played just 1 instrument at the show I went to. Everyone moved around depending on the sets needs

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

The first time I heard Piggy, I was absolutely destroyed by the drum solo. I have never once played drums in my life, but I was instantly blown away by the writing of the drums. This performance was absolutely magical to watch on top of it all. What an amazing talent.

[@jimbodavis1944]

Regarding your comments at the end about drummers doing a Led Zeppelin show, there’s no drummer I’d rather see than Ilan Rubin.

[@astonmartinvee8]

Ilan Rubin is great and so was Josh Freese. They have been my favorites.

[@davidanderson1639]

Having seen NIN on every UK tour since the Self Destruct tour, I was a little unsure of how Rubin might slot into the band; but now, seeing as he’s the longest serving member of the live band after Reznor & Robin Fink, I’m so glad Trent gave him the gig. I personally never felt Freese was a solid fit for the live element of NIN; he felt like just a hired gun for the shows. Where as the likes of Rubin, Dillion & Vrenna have all brought something very unique to their roles. Had Dillion not become seriously ill after the first few shows on the With Teeth tour, I’m certain he’d have remained as the drummer. 1: Ilan Rubin 2: Jerome Dillion 3: Chris Vrenna 4: Josh Freese 5: Jeff Ward

[@pointlesswasteoftime]

So glad he went ham at the end of piggy. The original is nuts, all live samples (does that make sense? Probably not. Live raw drum sounds played by Trent then reconstructed/sequenced by him.) and the drum "solo" is just insane. Ilan did it justice. I think he played march slightly different, the floor tom on the beat, where I think the original is slightly after, but I'd have to listen to it. May just be a drag/delay because of the sample used on the album. I liked it though. Big hitter, and big pocket really well placed notes especially in the non-album parts. His own additions/flourishes. Noice.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah this is where it's at!

[@brandonboucher7090]

Glad you’re getting into this stuff…the drum work in NIN is just too damn appropriate. All of their stuff is a masterclass in rhythm.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Absolutely love this Brandon

[@Xxsopxx]

This guy checks all the boxes for GOAT status for me. I've been following him for a while and he always blows me away for his performance capabilities. Huge inspiration!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah this is super inspiring

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Both Trent Reznor and Maynard James Keenan are geniuses and they both surround themselves with amazing musicians. You really need to check out "And All That Could Have Been", a live concert that is amazing. NIN has always had great drummers.

[@rocelioaggalot7888]

all NIN drummers are awesome.

[@stevo1427]

He’s a professional and the best drummer period.

[@yosoysoloyo4024]

He reminds me of Animal from the muppets... my fave!

[@Ash_Hudson]

Not that I want a medal or anything, but I did mention this guy to you a couple of times in comments in the past because I knew you were seriously missing out, but at least finally he's been brought to your awareness thanks to some legend of a Patron. I'd be happy if you watched all of his drumming videos because they're all lessons in ability, taste, and groove and you're right, Ilan is of the School of Bonham with some sprinkling of Copeland in there. Please, PLEASE watch some more of his videos.

[@jeromethompson6608]

Musicians are amazing. I don't know how these people do this night after night - I fall apart on any timing that isn't 4/4. Awesome drummer, and a great video, it's so exciting to learn more about music and just how much work musicians put in to get to this level. Also never expected Trent to sound so good live after years of shrieking himself hoarse. Ilan is an absolute BEAST on those drums.

[@Brian-zt9wz]

Good morning from New England Andrew... Although I've never dug in to who sat on the throne over the yrs for NIN I certainly understood that whoever it was had to be a great drummer and musician bc to the best of my recollection most of the drummers that did play with Trent were multi instrumentalist..This guy is GOOD...I wonder if he has any drum line experience bc of how choked up on the stick he is...Great to discover another amazing drummer..🤘✌️

[@3d-pro]

Hey Andrew. Good pronunciation! Such a great video of you explaining all the little bit details of his playing! I can't wait for him to upload more of his performance with NiN and AVA.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks! 😃 WHAT A PICK!

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

To fill Vienna's shoes does not go unnoticed

[@MattMonk]

I've always greatly appreciated the drums on this song and never knew the name Ilan Rubin, I know it now. What a beast.

[@lauraroberts2250]

It was a joy to see him play at the Eden Project last year. Best gig ever.

[@scosstard3542]

That drum sound is ridiculous!! So massive and clean, seriously the record and mixing engineer did a phe-no-menal job!!!! The drumming on those two versions of the songs is insane, so tasty and refined, not overly complicated but everything is creative and audacious! Hearing about the Rosanna shuffle - did you check Illuminate from Baard Kolstad yet? :P

[@whaleshark2625]

And for contrast, here's Jerome Dillon crushing it on March of the Pigs in 2000 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4OuiYONadKZbbs

[@joea1007]

There are better Jerome videos but that is a great Trent video. I am happy he has life together but fucked up Trent was hilarious

[@chadjohnson5577]

We saw them at Blossom music center last and he was good. I looked up his solo stuff and wasn't impressed but he did good for N.I.N. And he gets extra points for being a left drummer.

[@susannebass5503]

MONSTER...what else can b said!! Yes very reminiscence of BONHAM

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Glad you caught this one Susanne!

[@chadcarrdrums]

Need to check out the Angels & Airwaves live stream show. Incredible shit!

[@OldManBadly]

The funny part is when compared to the original (studio) track, he is actually playing it the "easy" way, with sort of a more straight temp. One of the many reasons this song was so noteworthy when it was released is that the drum pattern is actually sort of stuttery smooth. Nothing against the playing, it is just a little different overall.

[@alexkoefman]

Christ. I’ve been a Carter Beauford and Virgil Donati fanboy for yonks. This guy is my new fav. Un-freakin-believable

[@deadlyredly1]

fuck he holds those sticks so aggressively. I love it lol

Jerome Dillon’s half time shuffle on piggy is the best smoothest toughest I’ve ever seen. It’s in AATCHB live dvd.

[@EdWolfram]

Nails was/is excellent to go see. Have see them with anyone from Hole to The Jim Rose Circus or at several festivals.

[@poppys34]

Amazing review and reaction! Youngest RRHOFer right there for good reason!

[@kathrynhayes]

Hey, don't forget about the songs where Ilan plays guitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYSwhJeJdtl_ldU and cello kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYK9YYuqnqxknJY As you do.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah... I mean why not!?

[@BrunoVinicius-ix8wt]

THAT was quite my TEMPO!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤘

[@ThePizzablogger]

Since I first saw Ilan on the 2011 Guitar Center Drum Off Video....which you should definitely check out if you haven't...he has been one of my favorite drummers. Yes, he's a beast-mode powerful drummer, but his dynamics, feel and time put him over the top. He's the tits for sure.

[@pg9687]

Dude is killing it no doubt

[@viktorrietveld]

Bonus points for referring to Bonham here. Don't forget to check out Josh Freeze's rendition btw Also; let's face it, he does this without actually seeing a thing!

[@queenoftheworld1]

Incredible.

[@jambulance]

Has someone mentioned yet he was asked by Trent to also learn Cello for some tours?

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Haha! Of course he was… I mean why not

[@t3hgir]

open handed is the future of drumset playing :)

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Makes sense

[@donnelson6694]

Not a NIN fan but I do enjoy Ilan's drumming.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great to hear. I really dug this

[@buzzbomb67]

ELO were SO unique! I cant think of any other bands, even those that Jeff Lynne or Bev Bevan were in, that sound even similar. So many fantastic hits! My fave is the rocker, Do Ya?, from this same album, I believe. I think I love it because of the guitar slide in it, but its a great song. This is also one of my top faves, tho! I was 9 when this came out in 1976. Such great memories :). Its funny how such sad lyrics can be put to music that is almost uplifting.

[@Ofthelineofeld19]

You gotta watch him do Perfect Drug! Great reaction. Edit: Nevermind, you did already.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA! How good!??!?

[@Ofthelineofeld19]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums SO GOOD. Great reaction there too!

[@boomshakalaka8457]

F*** he killed the end there

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hell yeah. MASSIVE

[@trenchgunM1897]

super tasty drum playing

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100%

[@ErikWolowitz]

Is it just me or does he really channel Animal from the muppets while playing?

[@mannybravo237]

Big Meg Ryan twss "O!", at 13:18 lol

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

BAHAHA

[@HMan2828]

For the first transition I think Trent trolled him a bit, normally he ends his line and there's a silence for 2-3 seconds before the drums kick back in... This time he stretched his delivery... lol... Ilan was my favourite NIN tour drummer of all times, personally, so much power in each hit... Normally I would scoff at a Bonzo comparison, but in his case I think it's apt.. They both invested most of their level ups into power... They both also play on oversize heads...

[@GimmeAHullYeah]

Awesome work!!

[@envirovore]

Have I ever heard a better drum sound? Martin Atkins says 'sup?'

[@danboxs]

Make more videos from Ilan Rubin! Nice react!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you, I will Danilo!

[@steveh7508]

he plays cross handed on letting you in the same set as this

[@yosoysoloyo4024]

No comments about the time signatures? To me there are some very complex changes going on here and throughout the show.

[@ET_Brew]

Great drummer indeed, love the use of the synth during his set. Just wondering, how does one go from playing with NIN and the genious that is Trent to AVA and Tom Delonge? 😜

[@andrebaptista8284]

Lol. So true. Trent is highest level Oscar award winning music. I guess AVA, paramore is energetic and explosive and might just be fun for him. But yeah, different legues of musicians!

[@joea1007]

Ilan is a great drummer and is a great fit for NIN and Trent but I don't think heavy industrial music is his passion. Playing with AVA is probably a fun thing to do while waiting for NIN to do something

[@Vb98765]

Money

[@xtop23]

It's so tasty. Edit > and the Bonham comment was dead on.

[@kyleg508]

i got a pepper pig add lol

I have an old classic for you. Gino Vannelli - Brother to Brother. Live from back in the day with drummer Mark Craney (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy7ZJieZZiXodE)

K Cymbals….. 😍😍

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Sir!

[@smahring]

Ever hear a better sounding drum.. ummm, ya.. watch the original official video of this where they play it live with Chris Vrenna😏

[@taz9609]

it's a simple stylistic thing playing open handed, are you nuts?

[@academaciated7466]

BUT, can he play Home sweet Home like Tommy Lee ? 😂😂😂

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

No.

[@timp1390]

is that a euphemism?

[@andrewtruelove7501]

Animal?

[@n-99percentGOD]

I heard you say you don't really care about drum setup even including your own, I kinda felt like i lost a little respect right there in my heart. That's definitely important to ones character in their drumming. But You might've meant that you don't want to get into it in that you know it's something people might argue about but yeah it definitely matters.

[@garycomerMusic]

AD BLOCK!! seriously!

[@JDoughy]

Too many ads

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Great, powerful drumming, shame about the noise the rest of the band is making though.
