Nic Pettersen - Northlane - "Talking Heads" Drum Playthrough

[@mattmcguiredrums]

One of my favorite drummers in the world!

[@AM-eg2kw]

Sooo we getting a cover of this one or no? :)

[@davidjohnston714]

👍👍👍

[@CarbonCopies]

cover this

[@coosminus]

I second that :P

[@HazloTuMismoOficial]

The best!! unique!!

[@binzianer]

Hearing the instrumental version its incredible to hear what's going on in the background!

[@Saturday13CLIPS]

beans. 100% agree!

[@iambrowntown]

Instrumental version > original album version always

[@iambrowntown]

But I’m just very picky with vocals and I’m not a big fan of the high singing vocals with djenty stuff

[@dawavve]

@@iambrowntown Marcus' vocals are amazing, however, I sometimes the instrumentals are cool too depending on the mood. Luckily their Deluxe Albums always come with instrumentals for all the tracks.

[@fd.evansyah6212]

Every northlane deluxe album > original version. Marcus is doing well anyway. But the instruments is on another level

[@painlessly_bc]

Nic and Dan Searle have criminally underrated right foot technique

[@fourseven6202]

both are sick af

[@user-gu3ie]

Dan is still my favorite!

[@dandywiener]

I'd personally add Dan Carle into this mix as well.

[@iamweebtrash1306]

Anybody else gonna talk about the stick flip at 1:18?

[@therestingmitchface6241]

So sick

[@CorvinRayne]

So crisp! He did something no one else does - instead of lethargically letting it drift to his waiting hand, he timed it with the beat and reached THROUGH its path to snatch it up! Fucking sickkk.

[@LiamJD182]

That’s some big stick energy right there

[@shaunkirk4117]

Just 😶😱🤯🤩.

[@shaunkirk4117]

And can we also just take a moment to appreciate the seamless change from single foot to two foot bass drum beat from 1:58 onwards. Holy shit.

[@smokejc]

The overall ambiance in these songs is so good. It just takes you in for a ride. This album is gonna be incredible.

[@jbasti227]

And indeed it is

[@smokejc]

@@jbasti227 fact.

[@lewisvdm6454]

I feel like since Adrian’s left it turned poppy

[@epicsnail14]

@@lewisvdm6454 it's changed, I wouldn't exactly call it poppy, just inspired by other genres

[@iamairsoft]

How can something be loose and tight at the same time? = Nic Pettersen

[@themanwithamission]

Duanegerous. Mrs. Incredible 🤔

[@iamairsoft]

@@themanwithamission Mrs? Mr...

[@iambrowntown]

I really don't understand where he gets the nerve to be so all over the place but on time with every move, it's just... so groovy

[@RowdyAF]

@Freddy Velasco Drums I mean maybe but nic has always played tight so I doubt his tracks are quantized

[@patrickryandrums]

@Freddy Velasco Drums dude have you seen his live videos, perfectly on time

[@kyleadams2781]

The best drummer. Listen closely. Unimaginable creativity. As a drummer for 15 years so far, nobody is better. Trust me.

[@kyleadams2781]

I don’t want to hear your other drummer recommendations. I’ve heard of most of them. Nics detail is so little which makes him stand out. He is not exaggerating his skill like other drummers which is preferred. The things he writes are unheard of, and the hardest things I’ve ever tried playing. 1000% harder than blast beats at 200 bpm.

[@drummachine5787]

@@kyleadams2781Jon writes everything

[@RyansResolve]

ii from Sleep Token. They just toured with Northlane recently. It’s not a recommendation, it’s a must.

[@casteltv8536]

Legend has it this snare tone only comes around ever few thousand years.

[@Daveofbodom]

Check out the snare sound of the band Cypecore bro

[@Dwesk]

1:45 is such a great part, love it.

[@iambrowntown]

I really have no idea who this is and I've never listened to Northlane before but youtube recommended this to me after binge watching other drum play through videos and let me just say.... I am not dissapointed. The groove, the style, the stick flip.. This was great, can't wait to check the band out too

[@oldboy1971]

Happy that you discovered northlane!! They deserve more fans !! Cheers from FRANCE 🇫🇷 🤘

[@Siendorf]

You should definitely thank KZbin. Know you have so much music to check out.

[@WishMount]

I love how your kit is angled away from you, super cool look. What a fkn breakdown btw 2:55

[@casperhubertz7591]

"Nic, take 'em to the Matthew's Bridge"

[@7star7storm7]

😂😂 LB refs up in here 🔥

[@IThinkILostMyHeadach]

Total Nookie style! Nic is a huge fan of LB

[@jlouis91]

As someone who's driven on Matthew's Bridge, its hideous and terrible.

[@SpookyStorkRunningWild]

ahahaha i read that in his voice even before i realised it was LB damn

[@cmor95]

LMAO. When I first heard this song my first thought was "Damn. LB has gotten pretty heavy."

[@ev2110]

Never stop doing these playthroughs, they make me very happy :)

[@tailshhgaming94]

Hands down one of the greatest drummers alive

[@buenmin799]

This man has a metronome where his heart should be

[@Nswix]

Also probably listening to a click track.

[@martynaostrowska877]

Need this live again. The ultimate banger of 2019

[@therestingmitchface6241]

Always coming through with tasty ghost notes

[@xRamZx]

I wanna be like Nic when I grow up. So what I'm 33 and been playing drums since 10...

[@brandonkain9231]

That makes 2 of us...lol

[@stannats1493]

Nic is my favourite drummer 100%

[@SerryJeinf3ld]

Best in the game by a fucking mile bro! Mine as well, He's so god damn loose but tight at the same time...

[@RhysClarkeDrums]

That fucking snare tone 😳 Insane right foot technique as well as spot on timing. What a drummer

[@JoshManuel]

Always killing it man, love it!!!

[@keithstoney694]

I mean cmon. Dudes a fuckin gangster behind the thrown. Seen em once and was fixated on everyone’s performance. Such an underrated band.

[@jeffaffa2370]

wish I could press the like button a 1000 times! F#cking legend!!!!

[@dansharman7993]

Such an epic drummer got mad skills

[@stylerweiland]

You’re a beast on that kit, brother! Always love to hear your original sounds. Woke up to this great play through this morning! Thanks, Nic. 👍

[@Unearthlywhales]

These instrumentals are going to be sooo tasty!

[@stevemuzak8526]

This band is amazing in every way. With brilliant vocals by Marcus and instrumental.

[@ScandinavianDevil]

I used to think no one came close to how ambient and good the synths and atmosphere in TDWP's stuff was.... but this is just fucking bliss. I am absolutely stunned. This Album is going to be nuclear.

[@22suprstar22]

First thing I just watched after waking up like 5 minutes ago. This song is damn masterpiece 😩 amazing drum playthrough, loved the energy and that sick stick flip too

[@oldboy1971]

Nic's drumming is on a high level of complexity as usual. Thanks for the demonstration of your talent. Hugs and love from FRANCE 🇫🇷 🤘

[@venomau5speedz]

Absolutely LOVE the way Nic hits his cymbals man. Got his own unique style.

[@Kuuqui]

from another planet, incredible!

[@bazzb3561]

Simple. Creative. Unique.

[@JoshBrown190]

Absolutely amazing, well done, Nic.

[@coosminus]

Nic is so cool to watch, not o mention the sound is impeccable; can't wait the full album :P

[@galercraig]

I've watched an old video before this one and it's easy to realize how better and professional he has become trough the years, and this is just because of practise and practise and practise. Congrats, Nic.

[@ethanw5767]

The way he moves is just so awesome

[@rosscotunes9251]

This song gets better everytime you listen to it

[@StaTicCc1]

Love the sound of ghosts notes on your signature snare.

[@kacperuczak3247]

Amazing drumming and an amazing song!!! You're great Nic

[@aaronbarnicle687]

one of the best drummers in metalcore today

[@TYFLOL]

Wow, the kit sounds great! Nice to hear the intricate details of this song in the instrumental

[@patbateman8116]

Nic is seriously one of the best drummers right now! One of my biggest inspirations for drumming. Awesome work Nic!

[@uppchander1864]

After 21 years of drumming, Nic has always been my favorite to watch.

[@ewwwhatsthatbrutha]

Absolutely one of the best drummers out there. So much emphasis in every hit

[@user-ng8er3ii9f]

I beg please play "Details Matter"!!!!

[@pablorodrigocalvo]

[@jotwothousand4718]

Excellent saludos desde argentina

[@gabrielgomer]

bloody amazing. Love these new drum playthroughs

[@drzeissler]

hopefully we get a "deluxe-version" of the upcoming record! I'll buy it directly as I did with all the other stuff. Accoustic-Session would be another thing I've been waiting for :)

[@Crotes1990]

his style is so god damn smooth and tight at the same time, best metal drummer in the scene by a mile at the moment

[@ancientalien815]

Wow, those drums sound killer! Great playing as well!

So hyped for the new album + tour! Got my vip so I get to play with you guys! Can't wait!!

[@LIVEANDUNCUTMUSICMEDIAGROUP]

What's up Nic? Dude your guy's new album is fucking bone crushing , groove oriented, the production sounds amazing the sound effects and keys are so on point your beats particularly on this track are so fucking good! It's been really hard finding a new favorite band since bands like Korn, Deftones,Emmure and you guy's have officially gained all my love and respect by far my favorite album by Northlane you guy's really set the bar high on this album and I fucking misses you in Chicago so hopefully you make it back next year! I told Munky of Korn today through a text to check you out and that Korn needs to take you out for opening slot that would be a killer tour! This is a dope ass video your technique is amazing bro!

[@hubiie9087]

Literally my favorite SONG, SONG IS INCREDIBLE

[@ND-iz6dd]

The Tama Tigerwood Bubinga is the kit i hear in my dreams. I love this kit so much!

1:18 that bloody stick flip is insane!😳🔥

[@paumarin977]

Da hell where you on to compose alien? Fr that album had a deliriant component, like going on a belladona trip or something, really emotion evoking and atmospheric till the point you almost feel it real! Cheff kiss*

[@texfletch6209]

Just awesome as usual.. love this band so much.

[@SICKxSIDE]
