Rain City Sessions - Baptists *Drum Playthrough*

[@y.o.t.1978]

10 years and i'm still crazy thinking about this Drummer. So Inspiring!

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

One of the best drummers we've ever seen.. From the old Textbook Tragedy days, to now. Just immense talent, freedom and control.

[@Danoftheconda]

Man, I absolutely loved Textbook. Even when they did the shitty singing parts of their tracks. Such an underrated and appreciated band. I was genuinely gutted when they called it a day

[@daveweaver3886]

100th like on this comment! Nick is has and always will be a beast on the kit!

[@May_kyiv]

Do you know something about Ben koller?

[@DuftCloudly]

*casually noted as one of dave grohls favorite drummers in an interview that one time* NO SHOCKER AS TO WHY

[@KeepItHood901]

@@May_kyivBen is a great drummer but Nick is a level above

[@Adam-qd6zb]

Power and fluidity. Absolutely incredible playing. The hands are one thing but the right foot is a whole other level.

[@DenEz_TV]

Nick Yacyshyn is on drums. A beast! 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

[@inalingthedead]

When are these legends going to record another masterpiece?

[@manysnakes]

This dude picked up a well-deserved Ludwig endorsement. Congrats on that.

[@whodemiz583]

This video is pretty much the reason i just ordered a ludwig acrolite 14x5, sounds so incredibly nice!

[@coachjoshholton]

I don't think folks realize what they are watching and how ridiculously precise this is. People on this channel do, but to anyone else... So impressive. Watching this for the 5th or 6th time, lol.

[@AdamSmithNES]

This video is my go to when I need to destroy my eardrums in style.

[@manysnakes]

What's more impressive still is how effortless he makes it seem

[@smalltownsavouries]

Watching the guys reaction over his shoulder to whenever he does crazy fills is so entertaining.

[@evets1968]

Just bought 2 bass drum mufflers from this drummer at the Rufus Drum shop in Vancouver, today.Had not a clue who he was until a friend clued me in!Thanks!

[@evets1968]

We talked about recording 50 watt amps, boost pedals. etc...Very unique!

[@erichjohnolsen]

I've watched this so many damn times, and it never never never gets old. Super stoked to see Baptists with Torch Runner in a few weeks!!!

[@suffocated]

So entertaining to watch. This guy man. Playful, energetic and fun.

[@psychicpain]

This drummer is incredible. Reminds me a lot of Ben Koller's style. Great stuff.

[@PedroMau]

Best use of a small kit I've seen so far! \m/

[@PedroMau]

***** yup... And it's pretty good. But not like this! This guy is sweating energy from everywhere! But hey... Just my oppinion.

[@Throughtheeyesofslim]

Back again. The best drummer fotage in a minute

[@segregatedcrust6544]

One of the best crustpunk drummer for me !

[@JeffGoering]

Holy fuck. Why have I never heard of this band before? They are amazing!

[@skankhunt-vw8xr]

Because they suck dick.

[@julialewis271]

That's pretty awesome! Makes me wanna rock out and get sleeve tattoos!

[@pedrovieira3878]

BEST DRUMMER EVER.

[@muhammadputrapratama2507]

One of the best drummer ive ever seen🔥

[@pagie__]

How anyone can give this a thumbs down, I'll never know...or understand. Ludicrously good!

[@rufusdrums8831]

Posers.

[@mateoxgutierrez]

i've known baptists for 4 yrs now and still waiting for a southamerican tour. come on, I really need to see this man playing in front of my fuckin eyes.

[@ramon666andshit]

fuck yeah!! I'd love to see a Sumac drum cam video!

[@Avel_runner]

It's awesome to see this dude smashing the drums like no tomorrow, and fucking enjoying every moment. For fuck's sake, he smiles! Excelent performance.

[@duhlike]

I think that's just drummer face. You eventually get it if you're playing this fast lol.

[@Kerry_kit_slayer]

Phenomenal. I'm always looking for new drummers to draw inspiration from. Grew up idolizing guys like Clive Burr, Neil Peart, Phil Taylor, and Tomas Haake. Watching this guy not only gives me chills but makes me think he might be remembered as one of the all-time greatest some day.

[@gashuffer68]

Southern Lord Records are not fucking around with some of the talent they are signing nowadays..Obliterations and Nails to name a couple more..

[@abelinoramone]

Can't wait for the Sumac album to come out, the collaboration between this guy, Russinan Circles's bassist and Aaron Turner from Isis shall be a monster!!

[@godmodecheatcode]

tell me more please. that sounds fucking amazing

[@waveemann8857]

abelineshis Is he the drummer on the Sumac record? I was wondering because there's just not so many drummers of this skill level that I wouldn't have heard of them. Good to know.

[@zero88777]

He is the drummer on it!

[@AL_KING777]

Never heard acrylic drums sound so good

[@lobster272]

+Al King I'm not completely sure, but this might have been mixed by Kurt Ballou who has some awesome drum mixing abilities. Also some samples might have snuck their way in there.

[@superironman]

Album was mixed by Kurt in Massachusetts, this was filmed at a studio in Vancouver.

[@lobster272]

That doesn't mean the live audio wasn't mixed by Kurt

[@superironman]

It's not impossible, but I just doubt he flew out from Boston to mix a live show at a studio in Vancouver. Especially considering he his touring schedule with Converge, and the fact that he produces almost every hardcore record that comes out.

[@lobster272]

Tripp Nickerson You don't have to travel somewhere to mix an album. Someone sends him the stems and he works his magic. Converge is barely even touring anyway, and he literally has a hand on anything Nick Yacyshyn plays drums on.

[@MrXeqt]

WOW , wow .... wow whats this , never heard of this band before i got lucky enough to see this Video. this is amazing, love it huge fan !!!! and the drumming amagawd.... the drumming...

[@shanevarady3735]

One thing I always liked was his technique and solid playing style and what he can do single kick

[@OzoneZH]

awesome, i've been hoping this would go up

[@Betrayingthemartyrs]

25:00 - holy fuck!! nick - boss

[@righthereandnow]

Dude is a MONSTER. Chillls.

[@aldijuliansyah4978]

this guy is amazing

this is absolutely insane

[@greggriffin3114]

Jeezzzz, what a drummer and really good guy....

[@ringsofhog]

I want to cry!

[@baphomick]

I just don't know how Nick is real.

[@mase0078]

AWESOME!!!!

[@kpdtox]

Just discovered this band, gonna watch them live tonight in Berlin

[@sideburns1974]

Energy boost.

[@sideburns1974]

So brutal. Love it.

[@ankigonzalez]

this guy is so amazing good!

[@thepresident.eronmusk]

I’ve known nick since he was 16. He’s never used a click recording.

[@TunnelJumper]

It's really cool but at the same time, I personally hate that. I would give ANYTHING to be able to drop the final TXBK EP into Logic, sync each track to a click and try my best to learn the entire thing part by part...or anything he's recorded for that matter. His parts are SO much fun to play but he speeds up and slows down organically so it's easy to lose the feel of the song and get lost. I also hate having to press the spacebar and scramble to hit the first note, hopefully on time and at the perfect tempo, rather than have a click track guide me in and keep me on time. If that's not a first world problem, I don't know what is lmfao

[@jcagle1000]

Next level shit right here! Amazing.

[@OnLyDoOom]

drumming is top notch

[@finallucario5873]

This dude is Badass fun watching him play. It makes you want to sit at your kit and play your ass offffff.

[@adrianfirmansyah9371]

FUCK, I didn't know Jesus could shred that drum! fav!

[@Lalexrodriguez]

so good

[@nopeekingjon]

HE IS SOOOO GOOD

[@djabthrash]

Badass !

[@Throughtheeyesofslim]

Like the 5th time watching this, so cool

[@finallucario5873]

I wish I could find drummer like him

[@iSTAYuGO]

:) cool stuff thanks

[@karlfagerstrom]

I was gonna make some half-assed, super-sarcastic comment about how mediocre this drummer/band is but couldn't even bring myself to do it. I'd trade a kidney to see these dudes on a Tuesday morning at a coffee shop open mic

[@danloan5217]

flawless victory

[@germanconderamirez2960]

holly shittt.... sick drummer 😈

[@creggkelbae9617]

How much preworkout is Nick on rn??

[@foskco87]

I think he made a mistake once when he was 7. Seriously though I love Nick, have always admired his drumming and was a huge textbook tragedy fan. This seems every bit as good if not better. Still dont get how he is able to get such good tone and balance out of his kit while playing what he plays. And to not get tired. I would be fucking out of gas after 2 of those songs. Its not like hes fucking jacked or anything. Yet he plays like he is.

[@TheMongobongo]

It's called technique

[@drds89]

those energy drinks in the beginning prob didn't hurt, either.

[@bokunotraplord8497]

drds89 Are you referring to beer as energy drinks because I ain't ever been able to get energy out of them for a performance haha.

[@bokunotraplord8497]

I don't see how "playing like he does" would affect tone or balance, that's really just all in instrument composition and tunings and such.

[@TheMongobongo]

bokunotraplord shut up

[@Do-op6sy]

Anyone knows what snare drum does he use? Sounds really good

[@Scooterkid109]

Dionis Shylo 5x14 Ludwig Acrolite

[@marcopelaezfernandez4573]

6:54 love that fucking beat...he is a beast

[@Dhieen]

4:50 possessed by satan Anyway he seems to have alot of fuuuun haha its pleasant to see that

[@skielhc]

sickkkk!!!

[@joshxtejeda638]

Nick is like the heaviest reincarnation of frank zappa. A fucking genius!

[@DooGie17]

Do they play live like this? Like, they fucking NAIL EVERY NOTE. WTF?

[@fjens2]

+DooGie17 this is live? lmfao ofc they play like that

[@DooGie17]

+fjens2 I know it's live, but due to being a recorded session I don't know if they actually sound that good ALL the time.

[@pietzsche]

+DooGie17 they do.

[@christmasday3586]

cool...

[@johnnyscifi]

Yes!!!

[@jmpsthrufyre]

it's hard to see with a shattered screen on a tiny phone, but does his hi hat have some kind of bend relief? right under the cymbals

[@foskco87]

Anyone know what kind of snare Nick's playing?

[@waveemann8857]

ziggy4242 It's definitely a Ludwig. Maybe an Acrolite? But it could just be a finished steel/brass shell.

[@manysnakes]

ziggy4242 Definitely a Ludwig Acrolite. Appears a polished aluminum one, rather than the painted shells from later, so that makes it either a brand new one, or a late-60/mid-70s Acro.

[@blastbeatproductions7832]

ziggy4242 Check this: geargods.net/rigged/rigged-baptists-drummer-nick-yacyshyn/

[@manysnakes]

Oliver Carell '68 Acro! I have the same drum - best sounding/cheapest snare ever.

[@AL_KING777]

Student model

[@aidanneuner]

Put this on in the background and forgot it was a live version O.o

[@manasyt]

I'm not into their fast hardcore stuff...but the slower songs are GOLD ;)

[@InfinityBassCannon]

You'd probably like Sumac, he's the drummer for them too

[@finallucario5873]

Fuckin killer. That's bringing the thunder!

[@vieirasales2300]

I LOVE U

[@ArtDrumz]

This mans drumming is impossible.... I don't understand!!!

[@T-Hawkeyes]

Absolutely not. Probably the most humble drummer I've ever met and Ive met quite a few.

[@DreCarvalho]

Insane drummer, but BEN KOLLER is much better.

[@Hontonoki]

@@DreCarvalho I'm a fucking die-hard fan of Ben's, he's just mind-blowing, and simply an all-around swell guy, but even I have to admit that Nick's internal clock is amazingly stable and consistent, especially for what he does probably even more so than Ben's; Nick has absolute dynamic control over his attack no matter what surface he's hitting, and I've yet to see him screw up even once. He's a prodigy. But I just love Ben, it's hard to compare them. Let's just say they're both on a whole different level. Admirable and inspiring.

[@steveh7418]

@@Hontonoki Thats a toss up. Ive seen both live and neither missed a beat that i caught, both are super technically proficient and both have immense power and speed. That comparison boils down to taste more than skill. Ive been playing about 15 years and both completely had me in awe.

[@duhlike]

Baptists always reminded me of Converge's darker cousin. A lil bit more pissed and angry.

[@kahyangan3620]

Good. high musical quality #pagarkawat #indonesia

Wow

[@lucasstruna3962]

so what band is this?

[@laurangastangas]

I show this videos to my metal friends to show that can you do with 1 pedaldrum.

[@EyeTunz]

In. sane.

[@weezamon]

does this guy still actively play in anything? google is not being too helpful. textbook is kinda hard to find and only know of Baptists since today lol. RCR seems defunct as well. wanna hear more!

[@comradeshmoo]

weezamon Baptists is still going, and Nick also plays in Sumac.

[@manysnakes]

He also owns the Rufus Drum Shop in Vancouver.

[@doblenestudio9543]

It's not a coincidence, that the drummer seems a lot to jesus.

[@Dhieen]

Well in reality jesus wasnt like that at all haha

[@offwhitehouserecords]

We are all the guy in the beard behind him 5:56 😳

[@chicanochops]

Does this guy have an Instagram or Facebook?
