Nate Morton Drum Cam 18 - Don't Rain On My Parade

[@burning4buddy639]

Whew, Nate Morton is the reason you watch The Voice if you are in any way a musician. What fabulous technique.

[@mehdiful9929]

This is the reason why I think not only Nate, but the whole band is the world's best. This band can fit in any genre whatsoever. You name it, we'll play it. One of your interview I remember you said that you're not one of those drummers that categorize themselves as a Rock drummer or Jazz drummer and so on. But you rather you wanna a be A DRUMMER. I get it now! Keep them coming please.

[@NateMortonDrums]

Wow.... yes... thank you so much... It's true,.. I definitely aim towards removing musical genres... SO flattered that you noticed... Ya know... Duke Ellington said, there's only TWO kinds of music.... GOOD and BAD... :)

[@schreiberezra5932]

Nate Morton where can i get the music sheets for this song ?

[@NateMortonDrums]

music sheets? I'm not sure what you mean...

[@schreiberezra5932]

Nate Morton i mean the arrangement notes/music notes

[@NateMortonDrums]

email me... [e-mail]... I can send you the drum chart...

[@slmbauer]

No question, the best drummer in the business! Excellent job!

[@NateMortonDrums]

stop it... i'm not even the best drummer on my street... lol... but THANK YOU! :)

[@ataca68]

@@NateMortonDrums Yes you are.......

[@ethanbrunt7755]

Maybe at that style of playing but not overall ever

[@richboshart1201]

Anyone trying to paint this man into one genre would be a fool. Nothing this man can’t play. Nate, you continue to inspire us.

[@TacticalDrummer]

Perfection is Nate Morton. Flawless as always.

[@jasonwilliams1511]

Precision timing Nate. The syncopation was challenging, but you made it seem effortless. Well played!

[@NateMortonDrums]

I'm a good actor!

[@davidbarker2566]

Mr Morton you’re the ultimate professional fantastic performance

[@tripledrum8575]

I play with an event/wedding band and we've done everything from Jazz, Broadway tunes, Contemporary, Rock, Pop, etc... You're a HUGE inspiration, Nate. Thank you for the Drum Cams. Keeps me engaged and inspired every time I watch one. Keep being Groovy!

[@NateMortonDrums]

Congrats on your success and abilities in multiple genres Steve... that's awesome.. and I appreciate your kind words! Thank you!

[@benadek6703]

Nate Morton men not only do I love your style of play but more importantly the tone of your drums. Whether it's the big pearl kit you use on the voice or this one . Your drums sing men, it's like they have a voice of their own. Especially that 3 piece pearl kit you used on the voice live performance when Amanda brown sang "someone like you". Would love to tune my drums the way you do. Love it men

[@NateMortonDrums]

aww man.. thank you so much for the kind words... and yes... I'm stoked to play Pearl drums and I really do think they're the best thing on the market! (sorry for the plug... lol)... My drum tech Steevo does an AMAZING job of maintaining all the kits on the show and making sure they always look and sound there best! :)

[@irvin56]

You and Donte in the the same Awesomeness is well, !Awesome!

[@TheSmsharpe]

So glad the drum cam is back! I love to listen to your groove. Then watch it for sticking etc. Then the fun. Play along and steal as many licks as my old dog hands can. I have already stolen the foot - hand - hand slowed, or sped, up and phrased as duple. You are right up there with the best in my book. Thanks for sharing so freely!

[@NateMortonDrums]

You ain't stealin' nuthin'... I didn't invent any of it... stoked to pass it on though! :)

[@juanfrancoyu]

Your dedication and passion on the instrument shows Nate. From pop to big band, you adapt and nail it with precision. You inspire me, man!

[@52TeleGuy]

The use of dynamics and your style of playing were superb. Once again you have shown why you are one of the worlds best drummers. I've been watching all of these drum cam videos, and have been taking notes.

[@NateMortonDrums]

you flatter me dub-L... Stoked you dig these vids my frie nd! :)

[@52TeleGuy]

I love every drum cam video you do my friend, they are educational for us bad drummers. God bless Nate.

[@NateMortonDrums]

lol... stop it you... "bad drummers"... lol... I do post them because when I was studying and practicing and would've seen a show like The Voice... if I heard the drummer playing in the shadows, I definitely would've wondered, "What's going on in the shadows?" So that's why I put these up... "access"... It is my pleasure and privilege to share access to what's going on in the shadows...

[@matheusfaustino150]

Nate I use your videos to study, you are awesome!!!!

[@batack8]

you are my favorite drummer, amazing

[@thundersnare]

WOW!!!!! that was awesome, the accelerando that was happening is extremely difficult with that many pieces in a band. lots of space between notes at most times, and what a way to SWING Nate!! great job done by all!!

[@NateMortonDrums]

Thank you so much... I really appreciate it! That tune had a lot of ups and downs... dynamics, feels changes, tempo changes... I was chasing the whole time! lol...

[@mrpotatoprawn]

Absolutely blazing. Getting a lot of Gadd vibes too, with both the snare work and some of the stank faces hahaha

[@chris1014661]

Simply Amazing!!!

[@davidadar9395]

Amazing crazy and very high level

[@g-dub4593]

Nate you're the man! Tasty licks, awesome dynamics, super musical. Love love love it!🤘

[@NateMortonDrums]

thank you! :)

[@anthonyserrano7204]

That's amazing! Really amazing! I see the voice every day waiting the best drummer play in the show and try to copy something. Oh, how I want to play and understand the music like you. God bless your talent, every moment that I am with the battery, my remembers are across you.

[@NateMortonDrums]

thank you Anthony.. I appreciate your kind words... :)

[@Gretsch0997]

[@JoeNeminski]

Love the videos Nate. Do you have a gear video? I'd love to see what your full setup is on the Voice

[@NateMortonDrums]

Oh oh!!!! working on it! Stay tuned! :)

[@larsjorgensen2911]

Dynamic, utterly professional work on the set as always. But what is the other percussionist playing? I see mallets moving stage right of the trumpets in a few shots but unfortunately can't hear anything else clearly in the mix. Timpani? Thanks!

[@uprlvl]

Holy crap...spot on as always Nate! Your dynamics are so incredibly great...no matter the style :-) #GrownAssManStuff

[@NateMortonDrums]

You are too kind DB... thank you... and I owe you a phone catch-up... sorry it's been so long... ugh...

[@uprlvl]

I know right, but NO WORRIES...and all good! I ain't going nowhere :-) Love you bro!

[@ИванЗаико-л8в]

Super 👌👍👏

[@alexkomada8600]

Nate I am very impressed with your drumming. I have been playing drums for about 3 years. What advice would you give a person wanting to become a drummer?

[@NateMortonDrums]

Hmm... advice... listen to as much music as you possibly can, familiarize yourself with a variety of styles and play in as many situations with as many different musicians as you can! Good luck with everything!

[@THEMINDCIRCLE]

Ho-ly shit!!!! I'm speechless! Nate you're a fucking monster!😳😳😉

[@NateMortonDrums]

Lol.... nah... just banging on stuff! :).

[@hooshalramja178]

your playing is jusT amanzIng...keeP it uP dude..

[@NateMortonDrums]

Thank you! I will do my best! :)

[@frankrolandjr.1060]

Execution Level 100% I would of Sh@t my pants on some of those moments in the song.

[@JETX1990]

Jo Jo Mayer, Matt Garstka, Benny Greb, Anika Nilles & Nate Morton...top influences.

[@NateMortonDrums]

Wow... flattered to be in that company... you flatter me...

[@JETX1990]

Nate Morton definitely man, your professionalism is top notch. I remember seeing you on Rock Star: INSX back when I first started playing drums and then was pumped to see you playing drums for the voice. Random question...how many kits do you have on rotation on the voice? And how long does sound check take? You must have a hundred drum mics hooked up on a thousand channel board. Lol

[@JETX1990]

Nate Morton p.s, you just killed it on Jesse Larson's track. So awesome to watch haha. Loved it.

[@NateMortonDrums]

THANK YOU! :)

[@NateMortonDrums]

Hmm... answering in reverse... there's not really a "sound check" so to speak... we have a dress rehearsal where we run down the show's performances... re: how many kits... hmmm... hard to say, but I think the most we've ever had rocking in any given week is,.. maybe 10? Steevo does an amazing job of keeping them looking and sounding great!

[@digos8416]

Oh man... please come to jakarta and teach me that Six Strokes!! LOL

[@NateMortonDrums]

would love to! Never been to Jakarta before...

[@kerripace]

Nicely done maestro! What are you hearing on the phones? Just your own mix or is there a click reference of some sort?

[@NateMortonDrums]

I'm chasing the click.. everything was on click... all those tempo changes... everything... all on click...

[@volpe_sol]

Next level shit right here! Nate, how someone should go about if they wanna learn to read music by themselves? Any books or study methods you'd recommend to start from the bottom and become a good reader? I really appreciate you, man. Cheers

[@NateMortonDrums]

Hmm... that's a good question... email me... let's chat more about that. [e-mail]

[@volpe_sol]

I tried to contact you but my email came back with an error message saying that it couldn't be delivered because your inbox is full(I had no idea inboxes became full actually hahah damn). But thanks a million Nate, seriously. I'll try again soon :)

[@NateMortonDrums]

try again... I'm still using earthlink because I refuse to let go of my email addy... cuz I think [e-mail] is clever... lol... -also... you can send me messages on FB here: Facebook.com/natemortondrums -Let's stay in touch for sure!

[@michaelvidales90]

wow

[@NateMortonDrums]

:)

[@mskm3113]

I knew u graduated from Berklee as I see this b4 Wikipediaed lol

[@gabedroppo5814]

What crashes are those dude? They're all funky and ribboned looking, prototypes maybe?

[@NateMortonDrums]

both crashes of doom if memory serves... I LOVE THEM!

[@gabedroppo5814]

Nate Morton Why aren't you posting Voice cams anymore?

[@NateMortonDrums]

I am, I am... sometimes I get kinda busy... or lazy... or hyper critical of what I played, so I don't wanna post it... lol...

[@gabedroppo5814]

Nate Morton That's understandable :)

[@throneroommusicgroup793]

😩✊🏾😎

[@SOLDbyYOU]

HAAYYY! Did the witness NOT say that he was NOT a “ Musicals Drummer !!!”??? Mr Morton…. We find you guilty.

[@TGooch333]

Wow, Nate! Every time I watch a performance of yours, I'm always more impressed than I was before. You really have a great feel and play some of the best sounding drums I've ever heard! Like you, I try to be a chameleon and fit into whatever style of music I'm playing. I just love playing the drums and appreciate other drummers, who really love to play, too. If you ever get a free second, please check out my band, thedetonators.org We play a little bit of everything. Don't be mad. I may have borrowed some of your double bass fills! Lol. Thanks for the great drumming!

[@NateMortonDrums]

borrow everything Tom... I didn't invent any of it... as the saying goes... good artist copy... great artists steal!

[@waltonbrown]

I wish I was Nate Morton...

[@NateMortonDrums]

hahahaha
