Northlane - Genesis & Scarab [Nic Pettersen] Drum Video [HD]

[@chronicmango]

Holy crap a metalcore guy who actually tunes his heads to something other than the lowest possible thud. His kit sounds awesome and would fit equally in a gospel band or jazz trio as here. Also. Dude's hats are SO HIGH.

[@masterbeat04]

His toms SING

[@alistairrigby6375]

Ikr, sick of all these super flat dead toms. Let them breather jeez

[@_TRdrums]

yea i've always thought its awesome he uses that smaller 10" tom instead of the metal industry standard of like a 12 or 14 as the high tom

[@mattjarecki9947]

Hey your uneducated comment out of here scrub

[@Sodigerati]

Man, they are great live. Awesome sound guy too!

[@M1XEDBAG]

marcus put his own touch on those cleans and killed it, simply awesome

[@FearTheReaPeRr]

This performance quelled my fears about Marcus. He killed it.

[@alekseysky-daziel3283]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Blo0dredRidingHo0d]

FearTheReaPeRr did you ever see them with Adrian to say that?

[@lolcano2346]

@@Blo0dredRidingHo0d I did

[@ActaNova]

personally would like a rerecord of that album

[@sharrythedave4758]

That stick trick and flip in between 2:12 and 2:15 !

[@brettcrawford4215]

That's my favorite part too! Just gave me goosebumps. Most people don't realize you have to time that stuff as well and keep your count in the song. Plus not dropping the stick haha I love Nic's drumming style live. So energetic and just goes for it.

[@dav369]

2:13 Unfuckwithable

[@wheytogo6075]

Best comment i've read all week

[@jaywhitaker1147]

I was at this exact performance at the old masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia, this is when they opened up for August Burns Red for the very first time, this was also my very first time seeing and hearing Northlane, and they blew me away, hung out with them afterwards outside the venue, very very Humble and great guys

[@bryanherrera5751]

Got into them through this video. Dudes are amazing! And the stage presence is unreal!!!

[@mickclough3665]

That snare hit at 0:23 is so explosive

[@papaidolatrine2499]

It’s called reverse reverb back track and reverb dog

[@brettcrawford4215]

Crazy how much power and feel you can get from a great sounding snare with a flam hit on it. I remember playing with the band Bury Your Dead and the drummer made me realize the same thing. How powerful and flam can sound and feel when hit just right

[@constantk8780]

@@brettcrawford4215 nah that's deff just the backing track.

[@brettcrawford4215]

@@constantk8780 now that I listened to it again I see what you're saying. I believe you're right on that. I know bands do that a lot with the reverse snare sound too. I liked having my own pad for live shows where I played all the extra sounds and add one but I guess if you have a good sound guy and play with a backing track, that works too

[@mitchellmyers342]

Oh my lord, so amazing!! And nobody new the freaking lyrics to sing along..Or they were all just too mind blown.

[@BeeBeeCJr]

Love this guys composition skills.

[@marshdtk]

Nics performance incredible as always , but I have to say Im impressed with marcus as well , he was really on point !

[@obiwanjacobipreece7776]

Fuck me, the twirl he does at 2.21 then changes to the china gave me goosebumps, nic pettersen is nekk level

[@djentlover]

This song is a masterpiece

[@SkyShattersWind]

Thanks for uploading. I'm learning drums and this vid is inspirational.

[@Killcycle]

Pure awesomeness!

[@bigstef2010]

I really like the energy of this band

[@lucasanastassiou2241]

3:00-3:25 is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen be played on a kit, JFC, to understand what is going there... you got accented cymbal hits keeping the beat on two of the cymbals where those two cymbals have a pattern going, double kick going, all the while doing all these cymbal and tom fills between with the snare falling on the second hit of the accented cymbal hits... so much going on and he does it so effortlessly, doesn't even look like he's trying... this man is a god of drums, for sure (excuse my lack of drum cymbal terminology, I ain't a drumer), there is so much going on and he does it like it's breathing

[@TheLoamCourierMTB]

As a drummer I can confirm this is one of the hardest parts to play, there's a few other songs that are had to play like Bleed by Meshuggah but that's only really the aspect of keeping the kicks going through the whole song, this is just technical on a whole other level that's hard to try play yourself!

[@Schlitorous]

Definitely hard to play clean, but i wouldn’t say it’s the hardest part of the song. The kick drums are simply playing sixteenth notes so there’s not a whole lot of subdividing and it allows you to focus on the hands

[@drummersanonymous]

Wow. I meant to reply to that comment... Not delete it... Ha. Time for me to go to sleep... Thanks! We have one more video of Northlane to post! :D

[@clinton525]

hey what kit is nic using do you know the specs?

[@NolanBellingerDrums]

Tama Starclassic

[@1dudecrush]

to piggyback off that answer, I believe the only other thing worth noting is that he usually uses a 10" rack tom (pretty small, most people use at least a 12") and then a 14" and 16" floor, along with a 20" kick drum. this isn't his kit though, it's a touring one. as for the snare, dunno what this one is, but he actually has a signature Evett's snare you can buy now, and it looks stunning.

[@nathandrums0]

+Mitch ZImmerman the snare he was using at this time was his own build that he made!

[@1dudecrush]

NathanDrums it actually looks like the prototype for his current signature Evett's snare drum, if you look close

[@BrandonMelvinDrums]

Goddamn I love watching Nic play.

[@glennlawless2562]

[@kashmiridanish]

is there no one else here whose fucking ocd kicks in about the sticks knocking that ipad

[@b_ruff]

I love this man and his talent so much. But. BUT....have you ever seen such an amazing praying mantis in motion?

[@imzombi9731]

Does anybody know the size of the crash nearest to the hi hat?

[@newspaperlightbulb]

What is the tablet under his hihat for?

[@TunnelJumper]

+Alex Melendez It would appear to be hooked up to his personal mixer so he does his own sound(virtually and can adjustable on the fly) and sends it up to the front of house with minimal adjustment from the engineer. Personally, I don't think that's the best spot for it. One $500 wrong move and I don't even want to know what happens. Maybe the mixer cuts off feed to the front of house adding insult to injury? Nic is a hard hitter too.

[@alekseysky-daziel3283]

Exactly what dan said, he mixes each drum in his in ears individually

[@newspaperlightbulb]

That's so fucking badass. Just when I thought I couldn't like Nic Pettersen any more.

[@tysonreesmusic]

Most drummers do this man lol

[@J-Rock462]

Do they have any backing tracks? Might be what it's for as well.

[@joshhnelson]

Yo KZbin how do I get that iPad monitoring system???

[@mattfury.]

i believe it's available with the allen & heath mixer they use, so nic can adjust the in-ear mix from the ipad

Sadly those are the best vocals of the entire song and that's not saying much. This guy is killing this band.

You realise he didn't write the vocals to this song though?

It's his own custom Evett's snare, it's pretty cool, he posted a video about it on his channel, also I'm three months late sorry

[@boost219]

For real

[@testamentblack]

The pit is always at the back. We cant see it. The fanboys at the front are always quiet

[@k_bsh]

Due to his stark contrast of tone and delivery from Adrian, Marcus' vocals don't really carry the same weight or impact. It's very difficult for me to enjoy the new material with the mix and the vocals feeling so much weaker than Adrian's; however, watching and listening to this live video, Marcus sounds incredible. I am very happy to see that he gels well and can stay vocally consistent live.

[@alexb4702]

Didn't know Ross Ulrich ripped so hard on the drums

[@SuperMisterKory]

It pisses me off knowing the people at the front not only don't know the words, but don't even look like they're enjoying themselves. These are the people that beat me to the best view of my favourite bands at gigs. Tossers.
