When he's so good that you want him in your band... Even though you're the drummer for your band.

[@Nefville]

+BW Drums I want him in my band and I don't even have a band. Wow!

I want him in my band, I don't even have a band and I'm the drummer...

[@Daimoth1]

This is the single best drum cover I have ever heard.

[@brandoncrimmins6296]

I'll second that!

[@rOy48MtL]

YOU'RE RIGHT, MEN!!!!

[@ssebah]

Check again dude. I've noticed the hit on the snare but remember that he's also using triggers so if they're configured for high velocity and gain, you can slightly touch it to get the trigger to work.

[@jaychen2000metal]

Joshua King Decrepit Birth is nasty (his band, but you probably know)

[@dylanj635]

Josh King The original song is playing in the background with drums.

Nick Barker would be proud! Good job, man!

[@ChristianKross87]

Its sad that musicians that can play like this go penny less for their talents when there are musicians that do nothing but lip sink, and barely play a complex cord get rich. well done sir. good job. you deserve appraise.

[@acidrain812]

“Lip sink” 😂😂😂😂

[@77blacktrip]

@@acidrain812 haha yeah classic 😂

[@heyshug2003]

Like tick tock singers?

[@agoogleuser3787]

With drums like that, and studio et al....penniless is not quite the accurate description....

[@HeleusHere]

@@agoogleuser3787just imagine how loud it is right there inside 😂😂😂

[@Tryambakam108]

So f'ing what if he's using triggers? The original is HEAVILY triggered. Triggers only change the sound. His drumming is still tight and accurate. Badass job, Samus!

[@Drsimioindahouse]

Exactly, people believe that triggers play for you or some shit like that 😂

[@MaaZeus]

@@Drsimioindahouse Triggers won't play for you but they certainly can make heavy drumming easier because you do not have to care about dynamics so much. You can do weak but super fast love taps (easy to stay tight when you do not have to use power) and triggers can turn the otherwise meek hits into powerful drumming with every hit of the same drum sounding the same than the one before, no matter how hard or weak you hit it. Triggers are kinda the autotune of drumming, a useful tool but also easily abused one. You can have triggered drums that do take into account the hitting dynamics but usually when people do the "obviously triggered" drums then they tend to be after the infamous, mechanical, rigid drum machine-like sound and this is what people associate triggering with the most.

[@Danny-cy9rd]

Seriously, I never thought anyone but Nick Barker could play this. This was effing amazing!

[@NiVoldiza]

This is such an awesome song to play on the drums. It's a blast to jam to, and a true challenge/project to learn beat by beat. The composition is immaculate, and takes you with it on a magical journey through different realities. Transendental execution, well done!

[@Rozzferatu]

You can really see how much this guy is enjoying his drumming.

[@charlesbicalho6465]

If I could play like that, sure that I had that smile too

[@AstroEriond]

This is so awesome! I keep coming back to this video, makes me miss my drums so bad!

[@kevstakt]

Best snap bass drum beat ever created.Everything flows and makes perfect sense.

[@MunPruttt]

The cleanest drumplay I've ever seen in a cover! Very good!!!!

[@lallijohnslallijohns5124]

Amazing cover, Amazing song, Amazing band. Well done!

[@Havokki1]

I'd say the same thing. Nick was kind of "melodic" drummer in those two albums he recorded with Borgir. Those fills and every variation of beats were pure excellence. But this Samus right here did absolutely brilliant job covering this one. Such of explosive power in those blast beats and fills. Samus would be great replacement for Daray, imho.

[@ins1demanwhitaker527]

One of the greatest videos I've ever seen on KZbin. One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite drummers and you played it so fucking well. Holy shit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shanegriffin2215]

Anyone that can play Nick Barkers drums parts this well has my respect!

[@VictoV7]

Who else watches this and immediately NEEDS TO GO PLAY THEIR DRUMS!?!?!?? Samus is one ov the the best drummers out there🤘

Have u tried playing Queen of winter throned?

[@josteinper7704]

This is it! This is EXACTLY how it's supposed to be played :D One of the best and hardest dimmu songs of all time, composed by the legendary Nick Barker... And you nailed it to the spot! Absolutely perfect, I'm speechless! From the moment you started playing I knew this was gonna be beyond epic, I knew it was gonna be perfect, and worth watching a thousand times over. As a drummer myself, I gotta condemn you especially on your technique. It's flawless! THE best Dimmu-cover out there!

[@crazypete9749]

Nailed it...

[@Veth22]

and by this, i in no way intend to question Samus' skill-level. He's a fucking beast, and his work in extreme metal has influenced me alot personally :)
