Queens of the Stone Age - Song for the Dead (Drum Cover by Leonid Nikonov)

[@Hollowsmith]

There's no way to know if a drummer passes the Song For The Dead test until the last 10 seconds lol.

[@overnightgrowth]

I don't play drums but that drum intro must be one of the funnest things to play :D

[@nikonovdrums]

OverNightGaming You right!)

[@chasedeery1665]

And one of the hardest lol

[@burcolclone8322]

And the part at the end tho...

[@sebastiansubia4090]

It is sooooo much fun to play 😂

[@theeternaltao9036]

It’s very useful as a warm up before a rehearsal or a gig

[@cypherking5546]

The Hi-Hat consistency is throwing me through a loop! I don't know how you do it! Spot on cover, 11/10 🤟😁🤟

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!

[@juliantomasdieguez8903]

Best Song for the Dead drum cover on youtube definitely

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!

[@GossGGoss]

One of the most effortless and fantastic executions of drum covers of that song I've heard. My hat is off to you, Leonid. That has to be why you become a drummer, to be able to play a song like that. I imagine that has to be one of the most fun songs ever to drum to.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!

[@alexxitoprivacy5189]

Best cover I've ever seen in my life. You deserve a sub, a like and a lot of shares. That hi-hat, the fills, the consistency, everything is just perfect, never ever seen such a perfect and accurate cover.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You 🙏

[@jv-si6lt]

breathtaking

[@PeacefulLunatic]

Man, this is amazing! You played it so well! And I also live this song, one of the best QOTSA song for me.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!

[@weses2]

Forgot to comment on this one... been watching it for months, sounds so damn good! And also was a great big help for learning how to play it myself. Great fuckin' job bud

[@matthewjames206]

Gosh damn. That was flawless. So much style and power. This is seriously one of the greatest drum parts ever. In my opinion at least. And I've always wondered how it was done on the kit. Anyway, this looked and sounded great.

[@scottik187]

Dude you should have more views - this is awesome.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thanx!)

[@IFeelLikeKramer]

This video deserves way more recognition man. Amazing cover and video.

[@chunkymonkey3957]

I have no other words but, incredible. I struggle badly with this song. Your high hat consistency is fantastic. You must have a metronome in your left foot. Great audio too, just right for the song.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!🤗

[@Phloptical]

I’ve been trying to play that song right since it came out. You make it look effortless. Outstanding!

[@thewedge8823]

если честно, звук и объем у тебя круче чем на альбоме. зашло!!

[@nikonovdrums]

Спасибо, но нужно учитывать, что сыграно поверх оригинального трэка, т.е. оригинальные барики как бы подмешаны.)

[@martybuchanan1026]

BEST COVER OF THIS SONG ON KZbin!!!! Your energy is amazing

[@mayflyforyou]

I know this is an old video, but I love this song and you did such an amazing job! I love watching drum covers.

[@jackpatricklang]

Dude how do you tune you're toms to get such a nice thump?? are they both low? is it a trick of the reso to batter head relationship?? cos mine sound like shit and I can't seem to get them to sound any better Btw seriously the most effortless cover I've ever seen! amazing

[@nikonovdrums]

Jack fin Nothing special, man. Batter head is remo coated emperor tuned even and low, reso head is remo clear ambassador tuned even and medium tight.

[@Attinidi]

What crazy sound! Your kick really rock!! Very good job man!

[@mogutkastyle]

Приятно посмотреть. Красава!

[@danmccarthy3366]

This cover is so good it's better than the original. In this version the drums have more of an echo that makes them less flat than the original.

[@keneckert]

I'm a good enough drummer to see what you're doing; but not near good enough to do it. : Well done. And nicely photographed.

[@nikonovdrums]

Thank You!)

[@ct3664]

fucking A! where did you get drumless track?

[@nikonovdrums]

This is not drumless track, this is original song. I just played over it and trying to do it shot by shot))))

[@ct3664]

that´s neat!

[@Marcothy_]

Not to be that guy but you fused the into for Song for the Dead and Song for the Deaf and then introduced the it as Song for the Death

[@mysteriousgadget7879]

The ending of Song for the Dead is very very difficult. Gotta be extremely fast...

[@VinceAnity]

What DrumKit is this ?

[@nikonovdrums]

Vincent Repel Tama Starclassic Performer Birch/Bubinga, but only bass drum 22''x20'' and floor tom. Rack tom is DDrum Maple 13''x9'' and Tama Power Metal Brass Snare 14'"x6'5"
