iron maiden drum cover-face in the sand

[@DrumLaw]

I have almost managed to do this song without a double pedal just once. It's killer. One day I'll record myself tryin it again. It's not just the amount of hits on bass drum, it's also very easy to miss the tempo.

[@ImFictitious]

This is hands down one of the best drum covers I've heard, regardless of the song. Cheers!

[@maxmcbrain666]

@helenaki8 Thank you but Nicko in this song, this song no other song play with a double bass pedal. Every Nicko's fan must know that. He always told during the dance of death interviews that he used a double pedal.

[@Apvizionz]

Fantastic!

[@hernanachucarro614]

exceleeenteeeee!!!!

[@shanecalnan5140]

This song amaze me a lot

[@devonrizor6180]

Great playing man! Killer Kit as well\M/ Up The Irons \M/

[@xShaade]

Fucking awesome

[@alessandrodefalco3819]

you're totally right. paiste have the best sound i've ever heard

[@azrael1936]

4:01 If you don't say it, it hardly shows. Congratulations on the cover, amigo!

[@maxmcbrain666]

@gpp1002 We all know that!! ;) Nicko never said that age of innocence was played with double but we can hear it. On the other hand, he admits that face in the sand was play with a double.

[@maxmcbrain666]

@bronzeonion Only for this song. Nicko does it too if you ignored it!!

[@radornelles]

Great song and performance, congratulations man!!

[@4766maiden]

Did you use a double pedal for this song?

[@caaio]

this song gime me chills

[@maidencabo]

Muy bien master, excelente rola

[@maxmcbrain666]

@cassavaeater I know but Paiste are expensive. Already start to buy some......Check it out soon for the full mcbrain setup.......Thanx!

[@JC40FL]

Awsome Job! Thumbs up!

[@maxmcbrain666]

@helenaki8 You're totally right but it,s impossible to keep this tempo more than 3 minutes. That's why he only used double pedal, especially for this song!

[@hibueras]

Dude You Are Great!!!! Sounds Genial!!!! Nicko Mc brain Is a Monster mAiden Is A Band Of Monsters!!!! The Greatest In Each Instruments The Best Bassist The Best Drummer The Best Vocalist The Best Guitarrists!!!! Is A Shame That This Song Doesnt Has a Live Version Because the Double Pedal Isnt The Especiallity of Mr Nicko!!! But He Is The Master Of The Plates and Drums!!! Others Only Play the Bass Drum high Speed and Doesnt Have Style!!!!

[@acdcgnrledzepp]

nice job ! very nice song !

[@drums1640]

dude you are so fucking amazing i watch your vids like every day :)

[@icoucadaver]

I was looking for a video of Nicko playing this song and wondering if he uses double pedal. I think it would be hard with one pedal not because of the speed, but it stands for too long. Nice play dude!

[@muzlp]

Yes there was an interview somewhere that said Nicko used double pedal for this song, he didnt like it but kinda had to

[@natalribeiro]

Great i love it to see!!

[@helenaki8]

@maxmcbrain666 and you are fantastic too. you really love he's playing and you grow up with him. i can see it on your videos, and believe me i have many many hours in all my life hearing maiden's drummer

[@maxmcbrain666]

@helenaki8 Don't really want to argue about that, yes he's got a damn fast foot but in this song it was play with a double pedal. Try to google it, you'll know what I mean!! Anyway, he's a fantastic drummer and certainly my main influence.

[@FrozenSparky]

@maxmcbrain666 not only this. Age of Innocense has double bass aswell

[@oldsantos]

nice! Great performance

[@cristobalmarincarras]

Buen video amigo te salio genial sige asi (Y) ;)

[@rusk131]

Have Iron Maiden ever played Age of Innocence live? Because I know they never played Face in the Sand live, because of the double bass.. Love the cover, btw

[@MrPpavlouk]

@maxmcbrain666 good to hear that, I thought that Nicko played without a double bass, really. So he is human after all :)

[@chrisarnold123]

only song nicko ever used double pedals....

[@shallowlord]

+chrisarnold123 Thats why they never played it live

[@christophercarty675]

shallowlord he can do it live dude...

[@alexscott730]

Christopher Carty Calm down fanboy.Facts lead and fantasy follows.Fact is Nicko never played this live because it was too hard on his legs and a killer to keep the tempo clean for the whole song.You're only fantacizing that he can play this live.Fuck all you clueless fanboys.

[@james21792lol]

wow your drum kit sounds amazing!! what kit do you have? and what skins do u use? well done very good cover!

[@helenaki8]

@maxmcbrain666 i believe that Mr Nicko Mcbrain can keeping playing the tempo for ever. he can start it and end it with no losing a hit.

[@helenaki8]

@maxmcbrain666 so my friend i didn't hear that. but this bass drum tempo, nicko use it many times. same like The Wicker Man on chorus-on single pedal

[@JordanFlayer]

nope only face in the sand, no other songs have double bass pedals unless you count satellite 15 (though thats programmed)

[@4766maiden]

You should do a cover of Dance of death

[@maxmcbrain666]

@powerslavedude666 Great!! Thanx

[@maxmcbrain666]

@helenaki8 Thanx again!! I really appreciate.

[@Narutofan9993]

The guitar intro reminds of Dance of Death. Anyways great drum cover.

[@vinylrockerz]

Dude u are fucking sick ! :) Keep it up, From sweden ! :)

[@IamtheHeathen]

what to say more? you've done a very good job. I love the song and I'd pay for you some bucks to see you play. I think this is the greatest compliment I can maje, right? ;)

[@DeepanshuKhandelwal2701]

the sound of cymbals is a bit different...everythng else is absolutely perfect (except that ride pattern wich u already mentioned...)...NICE WORK...Keep it up.!!!

[@sorcavallaro]

Are you sure about double pedal in Age of Innocence? We can hear that he's playing with hi-hat, so his left leg should be involved with it.

[@Kawainin]

You are Brazilian?

[@Adremath]

nice. fucking nice:)

[@airbornedusty]

Any chance of getting WAVS of your drums too add bass guitars and voice on

[@RigoStar]

@ivanko666 you can tell is a double pedal...

[@Rxking3210]

dude, did you played this with single or double?

[@maxmcbrain666]

In this case it's a double. The only song Nicko has done with double pedal!!

[@punkrockdrummer1990]

@helenaki8 no,...in this song only,...nicko used a double pedal,...i know that for a fact

[@maxmcbrain666]

@Kawainin Sorry no!! I'm Canadian!

[@Stevie1996]

Anyone know why Iron Maiden never plays flash of blades live?

[@Kawainin]

@maxmcbrain666 Sorry! you do a good job

[@kraytfo]

Охуительно играет!!!!!!

[@GuilhermePeixoto40]

the only songs that Nicko McBrain ever used double pedals was Age of Innocence and Face In The Sand. now please stop this conversation. (ps: no, The Wicker Man HAS NOT double bass)

[@newianpaice]

as long as we all know that he definately could have done it with a single

[@flyforfun12]

Where is your Nico-face?

[@maxmcbrain666]

@mypearldrums Vic firth 5A

[@helenaki8]

@maxmcbrain666 nicko never used double pedal. this is single pedal song like all maidens. anyway, you are awesome! all your videos are awesome. fucking loving mcbrain's playing!

[@bulletshoxz]
