Nick Buda - Kenny Chesney - Tour Kit Rundown

[@ThePdeHav]

Thank you for name checking Richie Hayward. His sense of pocket and groove was peerless. Playing against his shuffles either live or studio was a transcendent experience. A true southern gentleman. Called him up about a week after moving to LA. Went straight to voice message. Turned out he passed a fortnight before. Truly amazing, sincere, quietly funny human being. Richie you are missed.

[@nickbuda]

He was/is a huge influence. I got to do a double drummer vibe w/ him a few times. I’m so lucky I got to know him. What an awesome dude and such a uniquely cool pocket

[@jordanmeadows7944]

​@@nickbuda did you replace Sean Paddock who was the drummer for Kenny Chesney?

[@Kennylaura217]

Thank you .

[@charlesfarran1717]

Awesome sounding kit.

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

Congratulations bud! Great accomplishments within these years!

[@nickbuda]

Thank you!!

[@Sundaydrumday]

Nick is one of the best sounding drummers I have ever watched, each hit, roll, accent, the purpose behind them is so transparent, tasteful, musical, if I could play like any drummer it would be him.

[@nickbuda]

You are very kind. I’m flattered. Thank you

[@anthonymedd8718]

Nick is an awesome drummer…with a fantastic drum kit! Noble and Cooley drums are amazing ❤️👍🏻

[@curtpyro1518]

Nick, you are absolutely correct. You can definitely get the same sound out of a 16 as you would out of a 18, especially if you tune it properly. So I totally agree with you there. But I definitely love watching you play. You're a very big inspiration for me. Considering I love just playing Kenny Chesney or country music in general. Also I absolutely love your kit. I really wish you could see mine, but anyhow Love the video that you posted. And hopefully one day my dream will come true, thank you for your time that you've shared with us and I wish you all the best on your tour brother!

[@lessmiedt9684]

Love the beard dude. Also, love the kit. Take care.

[@flashingarrows]

My God that kick drum sounds awesome!

[@DesignRhythm]

Love that mellow zen china. Very cool.

[@davidlester9287]

Saw you at mbs! You rock! The encore on Saturday was lit up🔥 .

[@TXMusicDrummer]

Copper snare drums are awesome! I've been happy with the INDē Great Lakes copper snare.

[@ryanfosnow7014]

Agreed, I have a duallist copper that's my favorite snare

[@percussionistanthonyrobert12]

OH MY! One of my favorite songs, Don't Blink!!

[@charliecontrino1626]

Gorgeous kit! Great Groove! Def hear some Gadd!

[@nickbuda]

Thank you! Big time on the Gadd!

[@charliecontrino1626]

@@nickbuda My greatest compliment ever was one time i was messing around with the infamous intro to 50 ways and someone said hey is that "50 ways to leave your lover?"

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Oh yeah, copper snare 😍 Nice kit finish, too.

[@ottish3015]

N&C make some wonderful kits and the price reflects it.

[@pal4597]

I have the same HiHat clutch. I love it!

[@KMurphyDrummer]

Buda=One of the most tasteful players in the game!

[@rkaylor5769]

N&C are fantastic. Out of budget, but a dream kit.

[@jonn443]

That ride looks to be a combination of the Todd Sucherman signature ride and the Leopard ride.

[@miguelmendez2078]

MD!!!!Ray Luzier drum setup!!!!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice groove at the end 🔥 At least he hit the china ONE TIME 😂

[@DesignRhythm]

I like that china - its mellow instead of harsh, but still inverted.

[@danfinn2210]

Carlos Vega!

[@ltrudd]

Does anyone know where this was filmed? That's a huge theatre looking venue but I thought this tour was all stadiums.

[@ModernDrummerOfficial]

Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL

[@nickbuda]

This happened to be the smallest venue of the tour in Hollywood Fl. Otherwise it was all stadiums and some amphitheaters

[@J_the_chaotic2003]

Bro you gotta show us how to tune that snare

[@anthonyhapgood5856]

No Melvis?

[@nickbuda]

He’s there.. in the vid even

[@kovalfetterer2218]

A Lauten Audio Snare Mic and Shure SM57 on snare top? Wow

[@honourisdrumming]

That ride sounds and looks like a slightly thinner Leopard ride to me.

[@gadymarcus2362]

Bello/Magnifico.🙏✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️👑

[@clintawnbomb]

I always felt like I hit fairly hard but rarely break steaks, never a head and never a cymbal. Maybe I don't hit hard lol 😆

[@cobra1995xx]

great sounding setup

[@bobc.5698]

Are hhx thin? I'm looking for less louder cymbals as I'm going to be playing with a bass player and guitarist in a 20'x12' room.

[@af7119]

You might like the Sabian FRX series.

[@nickbuda]

They’re medium thin and fairly dark. But they still work great in a big rock setting, as long as you don’t crack them

[@TheCOZ]

Chris "Whipper" Layton please!

[@tcliveaction]

What happened to Sean

[@davepeal]

Nice to see that he's using Pearl Hardware and pedals.

[@SalMichael]

Nordic shells, NC edges. The floor toms and kick are fine for tulip ply but 12 and 13 have zero volume. Way overpriced for shells they don't make. Great snare drums.

[@SMOKINJOE2898]

What happened to Kenny’s longtime drummer Sean Paddock?

[@DerekFrampton]

"country artist, I don't really see him as that" um yeah well he is. Definitely not Metal or Rock. LOL 100% rockabilly country :) Cheers! GREAT run down!

[@AeroDude73]

Country/Rock 🤷‍♂️🤔🎶🎸😎🎵

[@nickbuda]

Have you seen a show? It might change your mind

[@DerekFrampton]

@@nickbuda The hat, The boots, the twang. Get rid of all that, and it'll change my mind. To be clear however, I wasn't insulting Mr. Chesney by any means. Just stating facts surrounding the Genre. Cheers.

[@Cpayne30]

@@DerekFramptonIt is definitely not a fact that Chesney is "rockabilly country." Nothing remotely rockabilly about what he does...

[@DerekFrampton]

@@Cpayne30 You obviously don't understand what Rockabilly country is if that's what you truly believe.

[@Bgmusicman]

First comment 😎

[@morbidmanmusic]

and as usual... wasted it....

[@cosmokramer1213]

​​@@morbidmanmusic it's not the first comment to pop up either so pointless why they do that.

[@casanovafrankenstein8538]

I hate pop country music, i think it's garbage, but that is one beautiful drum kit. Sorry, but i absolutely loathe pop country. Cheers!

[@nickbuda]

I would mostly agree w/ you. I don’t see KC as pop country but obviously that’s just my take

[@willadkins7328]

Great drums, shit cymbals.

BOARING DRUMMER AND A VERY VERY BOARING DRUM KIT.............MADE BY A NOODLE COMPANY???
