[@themoaspecial]

Nate Morton is a beast.

[@ShankDrums]

I always get excited to hear what Nate will do next when I watch the voice

[@BrandonGebbia]

More Nate Morton lesson's please! :D

[@BionicleSaurus]

Damn, I love when a drummer I've never heard of starts kicking this much behind! Gotta' check more of his stuff out for sure.

[@bmillerdrums]

Dude this guy is insane. I've been a fan forever. He is so well rounded, he can play anything and everything.

[@NateMortonDrums]

[@alucard0712]

[@rafaelcarvalho3928]

great lesson. very nice!!

[@longfade]

Hell yes.

[@nickfili9409]

Powerful! There is nothing better than learning new ways to apply the mechanics you already have programmed into muscle memory! Super musical!

[@NateMortonDrums]

word!

[@sullysullster8217]

Nate has such a great feel. First timeI watched the show he was the house band drummerI instantly thought Whoa this guy is different. Such a loose yet powerful drummer.

[@NateMortonDrums]

many thanx Dub-S... Thank you so much! Season 19 now... I am so fortunate!

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Gold!

[@amanbytheway]

this was sick

[@jesuspastor3369]

That pearl masterworks has a gorgeous color wow

[@NateMortonDrums]

Thank you! Custom pinstriping by Nub, at the time, from American Chopper....

[@bmillerdrums]

This explains so much. I always wondered what he was doing in those fills using the hi hat and toms. Man this guy should be up there with any of the modern greats like Tony R. Jr. Aaron Spears etc... He is that good. Been my favorite drummer for years now.

[@NateMortonDrums]

oh stop that! haha.... I just go boom bap boom boom bap... OH... and I count to 4 over and over again REALLY good! -but seriously, thank you for the kind words...

[@funkslave9425]

[@kgdrummerboy]

Love Nate and Kirkee B. Two awesome dudes!

[@gegapawenang513]

I love this so much, thanks a lot drum channel!!!

[@schmalman]

Nate is so good. I remember the very first time I watched "The Voice," I noticed his drumming right away. I found out who it was and have been checking his stuff out ever since. If you haven't checked out the show, you should take a listen just to hear Nate.

[@NateMortonDrums]

Man... thanx Joe!

[@averagedrumguy6289]

Sweet

[@ozziep123]

LOVE NATE!!!!!

[@NateMortonDrums]

Appreciation Nation!

[@n34z3r]

Wicked.

[@DrGray_Drummer]

It's pretty cool when I see something I've never been taught, but been playing, only to see a pro playing it. It's real nice moved around. My sticking will differ from his at times. Fl F F Sn. It sounds great repeated or moved. Very funky. I love those Masters Paistes. The 1 "pro level " line I don't have. Great sounding, and sharp looking! Great vid

[@ACLOCKWORKDRUMMER]

KEEP IT SIMPLE....ALLLLLRIIIIIGHT

[@jheffreymartineau3388]

totally xD

[@ivanarango1120]

Gracias Nate!

[@NateMortonDrums]

[@cliveygames]

This man is a genius

[@CarStory]

Fantastic stuff, will be trying this out. Thanks for posting this.

[@NateMortonDrums]

ain't no thang! :)

[@charlies.5777]

Those hi-hats LOOK LIKE they're the same size as my crash cymbals!!😀 YUGE.

[@warrenoids]

(Charlie S.) What do you mean? They’re 14’s.

[@NateMortonDrums]

lol... I think they're just 14s... :) -although I have been known to play 16s at times! The Zildjian, K Sweet, 16" hats are absolutely KILLER!!!!

[@binkwood]

This dude is overly modest, HE'S A MONSTER MUSICALLY PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

[@mikep7970]

Master

[@DjsArtistRep]

I wish they would remove that limiter/compressor off the mics to hear what the drums really sound like. You can catch a quick listen hear and there. Love this guy !

[@camilomateus]

Great job! .... Kirkee it's a great host also

[@NateMortonDrums]

I LOVE HIM!!!! So much fun to hang and chat!

[@iamstruck]

anyone know what that underhand triplet move is called? i really have wanted to learn how to do it for so long

[@NateMortonDrums]

Hmm... I don't know if it's called anything, but I stole it from someone in college... I feel like maybe Mark Simmons.... siiiick drummer from Houston....

[@siyabongathembinkosimngome8869]

the K ride is it a 22\36 inch if yes whats it called,other than linear fills are the best

[@NateMortonDrums]

22" K Custom Ride...my favorite ride Zildjian has ever made!

[@markhardwick1570]

Saw Nate play for Vanessa Carlton. Lovely player...

[@NateMortonDrums]

Ooof.... that was so long ago... lol... glad you enjoyed!

[@damstevieray]

Man you're fucking awesome !

[@JoeIzzo]

Good job engineer that had to pull the voice mic up and down all over the place! :)

[@StraightNoChaser86]

It's always an issues in these types of drums lesson vids, isn't it.

[@borgullet3376]

L.A. Monsters

[@jjoneski2203]

[@douglastranghese7270]

After the video Nate are that other drummer.

[@MrE1981]

Jesus Christ, that comb-over. Kirkie-comb-over is more like it.
