Nick Menza - Reckoning Day

[@NickMenzaofficial]

Please read the video description for more details

[@TheArtofGuitar]

"You're only as good as you are on your worse night." Wise words from Nick. It's what keeps me practicing but don't forget to also remember the good nights. :) RIP Nick.

[@brandoncrow3741]

One thing I always loved and appreciated about Nick's playing was how musical his parts were. Sometimes it takes seeing a drum playthrough to appreciate how great drummers add so much to the song. Nick had it in spades. 🤘

[@Skunginoggin345]

Yeah, the other drummers were more flashy and thrashy (and yet Menza still COULD play those parts live), but his original material with the band was so much more atmospheric and tasteful, while still sounding awesome and polished. Nick is definitely still my all-time favorite Megadeth drummer.

[@brandoncrow3741]

@@Skunginoggin345 absolutely! Megadeth was like "here's our third new drummer in five years, he's pretty good..." Then they release Rust In Peace. I mean, c'mon! Then they go on a seven year run of greatness that they've never topped. Nick was a huge reason for that.🤘

[@josefo33]

@@Skunginoggin345 agree 100% with your comment.

[@hellmaskerpaska]

and on top of that, Nick's playing was so lively and groovy. It's a real bummer he's gone already.

[@mosesgollz1534]

Legendary drummer of Megadeth the fans will always remember you.. 😢😢

[@moneymike1002]

Awesome talent... Nick will never be forgotten..R.I.P. 🥁

[@darklordlc]

The groove on this is amazing.

[@brendanjones528]

Nick's grooves and power made the Youthanasia album as strong and punchy as it was. Especially since it wasn't the thrashy technical stuff Megadeth were known for at the time, Nick's hard and dynamic hitting kept things heavy. Much respect and adoration to you Nick, huge influence, gone way too soon. R.i.p 🤘

[@zoophagous_must_be_destroyed]

Nick was such an amazing drummer

[@ShanePasqualla]

Every video ,or live show , his playing just blows me away. So SOLID!!! I was able to see him live with Megadeath back when STP opened up for them, Nick was a machine!!

[@unrepentantoffender188]

Absolutely awesome! He definitely was an inspiration to me to pick up the sticks! 🤘

[@mingmerci6103]

Man, I say it every time but he's such an underrated drummer. He's one of my favourites and always will be. He inspired me so much

[@Old_B52H_Gunner]

Even when Nick was really working up a sweat, he always looked like he loved what he was doing. He will always be missed.

[@ater010]

[@DroogieAndras]

Love that song! My favorite when playing drums , I know realize how different I play it and how nick play it ! 😰😱😱 well know I know the correct way to play it! We miss you Nick !!!🥺🥺😭😭😭

[@jml8238]

Always loved Menza's drumming, especially from CTE to CW. He is not playing the drum parts that are on the album here but it's still cool to see him play that song and not some RIP material.

[@thomastasoulas5847]

[@apolloniusbeitsman5444]

No he wasn't.

[@RedFlyRuledByTheRiff]

Nick added so much fire to this album. It would have been a little boring with out him. Those cymbals are really cool.

[@drumcrazycrary]

Those little things he did with bass drum pedal made the difference (not easy to do ) on his playing trade mark .

[@geronimo3180]

[@razormaku8045]

Its nick menza, nuff said

[@fatherfinger]

NICK NICK NIIIIIIIIICK!

[@elvissorna8861]

Is he playing to the studio track? Amazing sound🤘🔥🔥Love those cymbals.

[@fabianadirosa6949]

Te extraño

[@mailman77327]

What cymbals is he playing? They are very pretty. Or is that just the lighting?

[@alexbattle367]

Can anyone hear the mistakes he is talking about? In this song or other songs

[@666bambucia]

Here comes The Reckoning Day for Russia...

[@Violatorclown]

almost all my favourite bands would of benefitted with menza him and gene hoglan just have the power and technique and no small amount of groove

[@AlexM-uo9gk]

Not his best work I guess, those are "beginner" fills, boring in fact. It's a good groove though.

[@thomasandersondrums2260]

Yeah, but it fits well with the style of music that megadeth was going for in the 90's. Dude plays for the song and the grooves are fat

[@benjaminvasquez5826]

That drum set sounds horrible

[@DankoHidalgo]

Why do those toms sound so bad?
