Gospel Drummer Plays NICKELBACK After One Listen

[@DrumbleCo]

NOTES: - This video was shot a while ago! I believe it's the last 'simple' song for this video idea so far! - More videos like this coming soon! With songs you all requested! Keep requesting more! - Video was delayed because the drummer's mic was never plugged in! But I made it work the best I could! - I reached out to Drumeo and had a conversation! All good!

[@thetruth4654]

song suggestions to have someone play Digital Bath-Deftones and Waffle-Sevendust(or maybe Denial, Reconnect, Bender from the Sevendust album Home)

[@JDCrain]

Can we get a video or short about the convo you had with the folks at Drumeo?

[@yourworstanimal]

Coheed and Cambria - Fuel for the feeding end

[@TheSeeking2know]

I agree.

[@Medvedevskihju]

by voice i guest that it nikleback, but may be i didn't hear it before or probably i listen it many many years ago and dont remember it

[@JalenRawley]

Perfection. This is exactly what we want from a drummer. We know he has chops for days and can rip all over anything, but he comes in and just slams out exactly what you need in the first take. It's still 100% him, the feel is perfect, the timing is dead on, he left space for everything going on, and if anyone wants more you just say, "Go nuts on take two." And if it's too much you bring it back a notch or two and you've got your tracking done in 15 minutes. That's when the producer says, "Wanna do the rest of the album and then we'll grab lunch?"

[@TheSeeking2know]

It helps that he plays to rock music and has some bands he’s listened to so he understands the language and progression a little bit better.

[@xmjd4x703]

What I love most is that everybody knows he has mad skills, but chooses to dial it back for the sake of the song itself, so it sounds like he's playing as if he's part of the band instead of like a "drum cover". Shows how much of a true musician he is.

[@Imhotep_DrummerJones]

Yep. Fitting the genre💯🫡 it’s smooove

[@yourworstanimal]

Yea. Still I would have liked him to go all out after the first chorus, since the song isn't that exciting.

[@jmbozigian]

Being a gospel drummer he easily could a went off if he wanted, but he understood the assignment and played for the music, love these videos!

[@garryoberholtzer5626]

This was probably the most ideal performance for a studio I’ve seen in this series. He’s not too heavy on the cymbals and he doesn’t overplay at all. Everything is tight and controlled but damn ngl when I say I wanted to see some chops like some of the other guys knowing how amazing this guy is.

[@kiefdemon1979]

Bro that clip of him playing at 1:00 was nuts

[@fatboy1271]

Dude's a Rock n Roll drummer; this is Awesome 🤘🤘

[@Cayoalbuquerque]

Finally someone who ubderstood what it meant to adapt the playing to the language and not the other way around. Not at all "choppy" when chops wouldn't fit in. I really appreciate that.

[@TheSeeking2know]

[@97VobraOwner]

Just so damn amazing how effortless he played this song… Not to diminish his skill - so talented- love this channel!!!!

[@handler803]

This video as well as Portnoy's take made me appreciate Nickelback's drumming. They went for the most danceable choices (four on the floor, 16th note tambourine, basic beat) very reminiscent of disco beats. Which makes their songs a hit

[@obhmusic]

Finally someone praising Toto!!! ❤️

[@cameronlmassey]

The song he's talking about is Animals, by Nickelback.

[@KwesiAyoKweRobinson]

YESSSS!!!!!!!! ANIMALS!! song is soo dope!!!

[@cameronlmassey]

@@KwesiAyoKweRobinson Iconic rock song. Another honorable mention for best Nickelback intro is Follow You Home, off the same album. One of my favorite songs to play to this day haha

[@MaxRamos8]

​For me the top songs are Fighting for the Wrong Reasons, Follow you Home, Side of a Bullet, and a newer song I forgot the name it's on dark horse album​@@cameronlmassey

[@JulianFernandez]

This channel rocks. Kwesi rocks too!

[@leos.9449]

Y'all need to get a rock or metal drummer and do this with a gospel song 😂

[@bookaltd]

Haha yes!

[@Davepacheco1986]

🤔

[@master_jon]

Wow. My Man actually did a phenomenal job all while super laid back chilling with his sunglasses

[@876jonop]

Channel growing 🎉

[@blankidfan]

This guy is a beast of a drummer

[@michaelvielhaber9342]

Nice shoutout to Toto. Great band with a great drummer.

[@obhmusic]

Drummers*😊 Jeff was, and will always be the best. But Simon and Shannon killed it 💪🏼

[@lpluva1]

A drummer who looks to Jeff Pocaro for inspiration is a drummer I want in my band. I love that he loves TOTO.

[@dcplaysguitar]

The production, editing, quality, and skill on these videos is outstanding!! Song suggestion: Coheed and Cambria - The Willing Well I: Fuel for the Feeding End

[@SteveHarrellRally]

Hitting them with a prog artist like Coheed would make things very interesting

[@BigBeardedDrummer]

I pride myself on being able to learn songs quickly, these "drummer hear it first" videos are right up my ally. i would love to be challenged like that!

[@ProcrastinationsandInterruptio]

His reaction to the double kicks. 😄 Such a fun video! Thank you for posting it.

[@kummingsa]

You should do one how they think the song goes. And against after they hear the original. So these amazing guys can go all out

[@TheTmoney07]

These videos are the best!

[@Kai-qr7ho]

So clean!

[@papaherf7349]

He’s got mad feel n groove ❤.

[@gjcart26]

KWE you did a wonderful job. Love this channel

[@droaton]

Yea he a bad man behind them drums!!! Wow very nice. Them drums sound great also.

[@jjs1982.]

The song Kwesi is referring to at 4:00 is "Animals" by Nickelback, I think!

[@closinginonclosure]

I think you tagged the wrong time. Lol

[@SARA-11-1]

Well done!

[@RyandelaGarza]

My wife and I always do the "ingtons" thing with our daughter lol. I don't even know how it started. Anyway, nice workingtons!

[@KwesiAyoKweRobinson]

HAHAHAHA THANK YOUINGTON!!!

[@tylertrachy8711]

Dang what kind of side mics are they? Sounds clean

[@michaelkane2120]

Simply amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@adambloodfist3368]

What a phenomenal player! He was red hot on that right from the word go.

[@danielmelo7146]

Stellar performance.

[@theomgboss]

That was fire.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ayyyye, it's Kwe 🔥 He said, the "smoogies" ?? Never heard of them. He did a solid job covering this.

[@michaelbush2639]

As always that was awesome. Although I would have loved to hear him run it back with the double pedal. I loved it though.

[@TaylorDrummer]

Hey guys!, love this channel!, I know of none of these drummers!, great watches

[@Перовподребров]

Good video, thank you!

[@thinkbeforyouvote]

This is so much better than the original it's scary.

[@VINsational331]

I like his version more

[@ricg2011]

Pretty good right out of the gate.

[@CMSnyder80]

Right from the start I had a good feeling. Going from his usual/preferred genre(s) some of the primary differences for this type of song is using about hitting on the bass/guitar riffs without a ton of accents so that you are leaving some very brief moments of silence to fully support what the other instruments are doing. Then open it up more during the chorus which generally are supposed to come off bigger than the verses anyway. Can't be afraid to use less of the kit and and play more sparingly. And as some other comment suggested...we can tell from his intro that he could do a hell of a lot more on this track if he felt so inclined. But didn't in the name of making that song feel the way it does originally without him ever hearing it. While it could be cool to hear what a drummer from a different genre would do to a song while playing within their own genre...seeing a musician play something for the first time outside of their usual comfort zone and showing enough musical knowledge even if the song is in a genre they know little about is at least equally awesome. There is still plenty of room for personal touches while remaining 'in the pocket' of what that song needs without completely changing the overall feel. Solid job!

[@1edinnola]

Good job

[@Mr.M1STER]

The bass sound in Nickelback songs is always insanely hard.

[@jasonbonifacio2473]

Love it

[@MrReuno]

Love drums, love you

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Random suggestions....get Tony Taylor Jr, Brooke C, Josh Crawford, Chris Turner, Austin Archie, Sam Applebaum, Stixx Taylor, Molly Rose, Nate Smith, Eloy Casagrande, Jessica Burdeaux.....

[@oscardiani2461]

NICKELBACK !!! THE KINGS!!!!

[@scottiswithme9333]

My dude is legit

[@MS-gj7ni]

that was great dudes

[@TheSeeking2know]

He knows Nickelback (unknown to the host) and so is familiar even with the chord structure and tendencies. Great and appropriate drumming to the track. I throughly enjoyed the other less-familiar drummers going more Gospel on the rock tracks because they were less familiar with them.

[@Marble144]

I request “The Distance” by “Cake” I don’t think people will play it like the track so it should be interesting to hear people’s takes

[@Nephzi]

I haven't heard this Nickelback song but I actually recognized it was Nickelback more from the guitar riffs than Chads vocals (which is kinda crazy )and Kwesi is right its very much the Animal guitar tone and riffage that gives it away as Nickelback

[@ruffestneckaround]

Gibson Loaded with EMGs into Dual Recs for Ryan, Gibsons into Dual Recs for Chad. They both have a couple time and mod effects they use but not for their basic tone. Their production is second to none none which also helps lol

[@rad_ryno9684]

Please do Sevendust!

[@bigj921]

Finally!

[@rafanj824]

He is so pro dude. He made the song better.

[@ardhirhamdhani]

Yeaaahhhhhh 🔥

[@gadget183]

I love these videos, would like some of the Gospel Drummers to try some Slipknot, now that would really be a challenge!, 😅

[@DrumbleCo]

Just did some slipknot!!

[@Q-Ace]

9:30 He's on about 'Animals'. And tbf Nickelback are such an easy band to guess even if you don't really know them, so I get how he guessed right

[@frodojv2652]

Hello @DrumbleOfficial, I follow you here in Brazil, my suggestion for you is to put on OFFICINA G3, any of their songs I would love and I believe that here in Brazil a lot of people will too, and have always been following your work.

[@208414]

I think you're giving these excellent musicians songs that are too easy for their abilities. Let's get some tracks with multiple meters and less standard song structures.

[@DrumbleCo]

100% agree‼️ Working on it💪🏿

[@KilaKrumpira]

I don't think that's the point of this kind of video

[@tudorjones7451]

Try Never Meant by American Football

[@ooinvsaoo]

@@DrumbleCo incubus, tool, primus, avenge sevenfold are a treasure chest of songs like this..

[@DrumbleCo]

@ooinvsaoo We’ve got vids with two of these bands coming soon👀

[@Rob_0_Pierce]

You guys should have someone do a sleep token cover! The drums are incredible

[@DrumbleCo]

What song?

[@Rob_0_Pierce]

@@DrumbleCo the summoning, chokehold, Alkaline or Gods. Those all have some killer drum parts. II, sleep tokens drummer, is heavily inspired by gospel style drumming. Dude’s a beast! Ps. The live version of the summoning has a drum solo in the middle section where everything but the pad falls out. It’s suuuuuper saucy 🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@DrumbleCo]

Oh yall make wanna make em SWEAT!! Ok cool💪🏿

[@Rob_0_Pierce]

@@DrumbleCo heck yea! and get it allllllllll on video 😂😂 can’t wait to see! ✌🏽

[@NickplaysDrums96]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FrankTisellano]

Truly SHOCKING amount and volume of tambourine in this song

[@TheRockGreat1]

5:00 shout to him shouting out The Smoogies one of my brothers jazz band very dope crew and talented group of musical brothers. If you don’t about i would highly suggest you plug yourself some headphones sit back pop a whine and just let the music take you. Cause man…

[@emanueldl67]

Hey guys! Great video. Are there drum samples used in the mics?

[@mikemallon4620]

You should look at doing The Summoning by Sleep Token!

[@KxngRich]

Try sleep theory fall out next

[@gabejones6260]

Have one of them play rope by foo fighters. There are cool drum parts

[@sheltermemercury]

It would be cool to see someone learn “God Is My Home” or “Perfect” by Living Sacrifice.

[@nickhobbs653]

Maybe stengah or rational gaze by meshuggah xoxo ❤❤❤

[@uber_stuber]

dang what happened to nickelback lol they actually sound GOOD now lol used to hate their vocal tone, but i actually like that song lol

[@BadaDing]

Something from the great American song book maybe some Frank Sinatra? Buddy rich?

[@yes228-c1z]

damn🔥🔥

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

Do bullet for my valentine waking the demon

[@luizarthurbrito]

"there's this one nickelback song that sounds just like that" You got it my man. Simply the most generic band there ever was.

[@N.definite]

What’s that main crash?

[@drummerbatak]

after some videos, all gospel drummers in drumble can reduce "wild thoughts" to explore licks/chops when play not gospel's song. we need more wild LOL.

[@uber_stuber]

breh, epilepsy warning for his personal video playing at a show

[@RDucksworth]

hes 100% right about nickelback having a sound lol

[@nickhobbs653]

Your page better than drumeo xoxo 💋

[@jjs1982.]

hahaha! Awesome!

[@steezlebowski2124]

if you want to bring the bassist and drummer back, I have a real challenge for them... "Polyphia - G.O.A.T". Good luck and God be with you

❤

[@ashtondain-vh4lw]

Sleep token

[@cadenbooker3264]

do metallingus by alter bridge dont care what drummer tho XD

[@twiztid133]

Try some slipknot next.

[@paulpowers1056]

Try some Dream Theater or Rush

[@master_jon]

Better than Drumeo

[@thoughtrewire4950]

Pink Floyd or Primus

[@fundymentalism]

Puzzling choice on song. Simultaneously unknown and hated

[@paulwisham5943]

It’s very Nickleback

[@jjs1982.]

Here's a song you have to get a gospel drummer to do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWmci4RsmtOCY9U Hearing this track without drums, Ray's part does not come to mind at all but it's so amazing!

[@cesarg.2672]

He should have played to Animals As Leaders instead

[@DrumbleCo]

Gimme a song! Maybe we’ll try it with someone else 👀👀

[@tererai7936]

New Eden or Weightless, just to ease them in nicely 😂

[@cesarg.2672]

@@DrumbleCo Kaskade or Woven Web

[@grigoreveli2109]

Good goood But I think song is to easy for Kwe to play it’s like nothing More challenging songs!

[@TheSeeking2know]

In this case it’s the control and awareness to limit the chops to the music style instead of going all out as is expected in gospel. That takes discipline and gene awareness.

[@golishevskiy]

Да так не честно! он слышал бас гитару, этого достаточно чтобы сделать круто!

[@bloodseed]

Animals

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

Nickelback is way too predictable to figure out a drum pattern for…this dude is awesome though!
