The drums on Death & Romance immediately sold me on the entire album

[@stephenoxf]

literally. the first time i heard death and romance i knew it would become one of my favourite songs of all time

[@baphomick]

truth

[@cjhoop2tpfan841]

So insanely impressive, one of the best bands going rn with one of the most naturally talented drummers ive ever seen. 10/10

[@Nick_Villa]

Thank you!

[@joeymafoey8265]

ive probably watched a dozen times now. absolutely the best groove i ever heard in my life. the over the bar fill into the back beat hit is like crack

[@gabrioula_]

I've always loved how the drums carry the entire feeling of this song. The fills give us a feeling of let it all go and surrender to the emotion when nothing is fair with death and romance but you still want give all that you have blindly... and you actually give during the fills

[@Nick_Villa]

That’s what I had mind 🤾🏽‍♂️😤

[@noobnesz]

Love your drum fills during the verses. And those triplets on the bass drum. Perfection. I can't imagine this song on a different beat honestly.

[@Nick_Villa]

🦾🤝

[@ashtonb561]

the triplets in the kick and the fills that flip over into the next measure are two of the most memorable drum patterns i can think of. really great work from yall writing this!

[@ropesquid2085]

I've never loved a ride cymbal more than in the chorus of this song, idk if that makes sense, this whole vid goes so hard

[@joeymafoey8265]

same best ride cymbal i ever heard

[@KreyProductions]

best ride pattern since reckoner by radiohead. what a performance, what a band. the real deal right here. incredible.

[@Nick_Villa]

[@dantebordi4122]

[@Nick_Villa]

Which bell are you referring to?

[@dantebordi4122]

[@space_1073]

Aw man I just know how good that off beat cymbal hit is every time. Such a great drum track.

[@sammardini8598]

your writing creativity and playing elevates this album so damn much. fave album of 2024, Mag Bay should be a trio with the amount you add!
