The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy - Drum Cover By Domenic Nardone

[@punketronic]

Dude, you smashed it. Brian Downey had a really unique style. Always seemed so simple, but very difficult to play. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@chrisbenj3819]

Those stabs are so hard with an e kit lmao

[@brucenlittlepictures]

This is one of those deceptively difficult songs. When you listen to it, it sounds so easy, just because of how well the drummer nailed the original track, but in reality, the groove is so tight and locked in that it makes it really tough to cover and do it justice. Great job!

[@DomenicNardone]

+brucenlittlepictures Thanks! You're right. I thought it was going to be simple, but it's got a somewhat tricky shuffle groove with some cool open high hat stabs!

[@brucenlittlepictures]

It's such a great, well written song. You nail it in this video!

[@Kevin-kr5ok]

That’s a slick shuffle played in that song !

[@proudbirther1998]

The quality of the sound from your drums and the MICs are VERY PROFESSIONAL Your Playing is also very Professional. GREAT JOB

[@simont84]

It's tracks like these that make you really appreciate what a drummer is for, you don't know what you got till its gone!

[@menezesj]

I've literally watched this video 100 times. My band is covering this song and you're exactly what I'm trying emulate. Expertly done. The drumming is professional is so is your filming/editing. Thanks for the video - it's helped tremendously.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much, glad this video helped...and thanks for the multiple views LOL!!

[@tonystevenson5125]

Nice, Precise and relaxed. A very Smooth Performance 👍

[@Bob.Silverstein]

I love how efficient and effortless you make it look! Really fun watching you play.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!

[@tomassantiago1232]

PERFECT MAN 😊

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you!

[@voyagerdawg]

Really nice job. I used to play this back in the 80’s when I was a kid and it was hard. You make it look effortless. The drums and cymbals sound fantastic. Great job!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much Salty Dawgs!!

[@randallwatson8760]

Domenic, I have recently discovered your channel. You have earned a new fan. The reason you have is because you look lke you are having fun when you are sitting behind that drum kit. THAT is what music is all about having fun. Thanks!!

[@carlsbrojin4121]

Domenic "Nailed it" Nardone! My new idol! :)

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks!

[@belindarosenheim2322]

Domenic I just turned 50 years old. I was a chick drummer for two years starting when I was 20. Your video (Thin Lizzie Boys are back) woke something up in me. Thank you for every hour you practiced and for postings the result. I'm about to hit the pawn shops for a kit. -Belinda in Texas

[@DomenicNardone]

No problem, thanks Belinda!! Hope you find a great kit :)

[@theidolnessofmods]

Great feel and playing style on this cover. Excellent job! Thanks for posting.

[@bobwester7114]

Nice to see you back in the grove Domenic.

[@camelcase9225]

Great shuffle and tight triplets. Gonna have to sit down and learn this one; looks like a lot of fun!

[@Atavachron]

Fantastic Drum Work. I love this song. Greetings From Brazil.

[@The123neil]

What a great song and such happy drumming😀! Classic radio can overplay to the max, but this one never tires. Beautiful job!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!!!

[@АлександрКовалев-т1т]

That's really amazing, such a graceful performance combined with accuracy and temperance! Great!

Wow! Nicely done. Seven years later still getting complements

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you Dave!

[@MrMarcosrf]

Very well played and the wood chips flying from the high-hat are awesome.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks!

[@bradmcleish]

One of those songs that sounds pretty basic (beat wise) until you are faced with having to play it. My cover band is doing this one next week and am I ever glad this video was available. Your the only one (on youtube) that nails it. Others come close but brother you NAILED it right to the wall. Thanks for posting !!!!

[@MrJohanncaparas]

same here , heard it and it’s sounded easy. Till it’s time to play it..

[@rushyeskansas]

A real classic by Thin Lizzy .... greatly played my friend.

[@maxadrums]

Oh yeah, Domenic! Your feel is awesome. Keep rocking out!

[@davidalley3541]

Brian Downey is way underated..Thin Lizzy rules...thank you amigo...you are my new #1 you tube drummer...how bout more Triumph,April Wine....maybe some BTO!!!👌👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks David! Yeah, I was thinking of doing Lay It On The Line or Roller by April Wine, but I've already posted a vid of our cover band playing that song. Maybe I'll post a drum cover vid as well. You're really into the Canadian Rock....eh?? Are you Canadian?

[@tomdoogan371]

Man, you make the shuffle look effortless! Nice!

[@sonnyredbull6]

Love Thin Lizzy, played this song for years with my old band back in the day,great job Dom as usual. Nice to see your out playing with Hairy, if I lived up by you I would for sure support you.

[@charliewerchan7252]

I'm gonna add this to my learn to play list. Classic. Won't be as good as your version bud, but forgot how fun this song would be to play. Rock on mad mad drummer.

[@rhythmantic]

Yea, and so is Domenic...back in town that is! Solid rockin and tight bro'!. I used to play this tune in a cover band that did a tour of your country of Canada in the late 70s. It's fun playing to a drumless track, sounds better than the original. Your drums sound great.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Sal! Always great to hear from you!

[@tompovazanj9953]

Because more

[@tompovazanj9953]

More somethings

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks a lot!

[@lighttread]

Excellent playing Domenic! Big inspiration!

[@hoagy6262]

Been watching a few of your vids to help me understand what's being played in certain parts. You've a lovely relaxed style and capture the feel of the tracks you cover, the vids have helped me no end, thanks very much. Keep 'em coming, great stuff

[@shurgars]

This groove is so good. You played it so well. Inspired me to learn it, haven't really played shuffle so it took me like 2 hours to get it down 😂. Set up a goal to be play this one somewhat well.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks! Just takes a bit of practice and muscle memory takes over!

[@clintjoseph9911]

first comment on any of your videos. I go round and round you tube always come back to your videos, great work and an inspiration. I'm relatively knew to drumming and love your work! Top notch every time. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Clint!

[@mindpower64]

Very well played and great sound on the drums and video!

[@collintrainor7193]

My band and I are covering this song right now, and this video has helped me as the drummer tremendously. Thank you!

[@DomenicNardone]

+Collin Trainor You're welcome Collin! :)

[@Michael-iq2yf]

I'm learning this song now. And you make it the cool whip on punkin pie dude. Thanks, Mikey

[@DomenicNardone]

LOL Thanks!

[@ripitsympatico5843]

Perfection. As usual.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you!

[@pedroooooooooobecker]

Dude you completely nailed it! Congrats for the awesome play along. I'm looking forward to record some drum cover videos too, and came to check if someone had covered this one so far. Its just great.

[@feelinfine1973]

I just wanted to let you kno that I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I'm a drummer of 35 + yrs doing originals but recently a close friend asked me to sit in with them because their drummer flaked out! So I had 2 days to learn this this song and if it wasn't for this I probably wouldn't have been able too! All of the angles, clear video, timing ect is exactly what I needed to learn this fantastic song. (I've heard it my entire life) but seeing you play it made it a snap to play! Well done my friend and keep it up! Did I mention that it's a contest? Winners take door! Lol Thanks! P.S. it's a "band roulette" where all the musicians in our city put their names in a hat and drew for members? All genres of music so it makes for an interesting band line up!

[@mylovelyman2]

Relaxed and smooth! Great job man!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks

[@jfeal]

Very clean!!

[@TheDicedrum]

Awesome job man! Great tune and great cover! Rock on! ~Dice~

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Dice!

[@CombsTowerProductions]

Awesome Cover! Definitely a song I need to learn!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Pieman!!

[@rixpix2957]

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you!

[@livenloud6697]

So spot on. 🙂

[@allenoertell6095]

Thanks for the lesson. I am doing this song in my band

[@DomenicNardone]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@thedrake2121]

that was spot on well done

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you!

[@Little4PieceGretsch]

Hey paisan! Great cover, and your drums sound great!

[@motodrummer]

Excellent job bud, I need to find an exercise or 2 to help me get the quick open/close hi hat hits down while not losing the beat on my right foot.

[@philipreilly8545]

Forget about everything else and just focus on getting the hi hats right

[@drumvisio]

Domenic back In Town? , BACK for Good!!!

[@DennisdeLange]

You sure got that groove man! Awesome vid

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you Dennis!

[@1491MX]

Good job! You play so effortlessly. :)

[@PappaDolce]

[@disarrayer]

[@DomenicNardone]

disarrayer thanks! hope this video helps.

[@Boom3aa]

Awesome groove as usual, nice play Dom! And by the way, I love your Hairy bass drum head :)

[@MrJohanncaparas]

Awesome playing man..

[@ConstantineIsslamow]

Really enjoyed your drum cover. The quality of the audio is outstanding. Video editing must take some time. It shows in the final product. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@hbrock4335]

Nice to see you making videos man!

[@leonnavarro9240]

Thanks Domenic !

[@DomenicNardone]

No problem

[@meekimoto413]

Great hi hat work

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks!

[@henrycems]

Loved it thanks.

[@ThrowAway271]

Nicely done

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@drewsibleyloans]

Domenic this is crazy good. I need to learn this but having difficulty with the shuffle of the right hand. Suggestions on how to train myself this song? Help please 🙏

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Drew!! It just takes practice until muscle memory takes over. It took me a while as well. Just play slow until your confidence builds up and speed up from there.

[@lucasbevan2580]

Great cover man!

[@rockcitymarco9186]

Real nice job Paisano

[@javhadahmed8899]

Absolutely fucking spot on ❤❤

[@damirsumak3495]

Domenic, thank you for your video. It really helps to understand the tune (drum track). Your shuffle is very good, playing open hi-hat accurate with different time of being open within a beat... great! I only wonder are you sure that the last part of the song (from 3:30) your hi-hat is exact like in original version? Playing across toms sounds also great. Like your MAChair :). Great work, thank you!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Damir, No I don't think I'm striking the high hat stabs at the exact spot but it's close enough for me :)

[@damirsumak3495]

When I'll be so close I will celebrate :)

[@TristanKelley]

COOL COVER... Keep it up!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks!

[@robertmassey1200]

How do you tune your toms, they sound great. Great cover by the way . In fact all your covers are spot on.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks! I tune them so the top and bottom heads are the same pitch. I just guess at the sweet spot for each tom.

[@jeffholmes2459]

Fukkin perfect

[@nielsurban6392]

Good choice for the china cymbal!

[@toraff1966]

Great!!

[@GamegisKhan]

Im curious about whats on that hung up snare....

[@DomenicNardone]

Hey Daniel, that snare was signed by the Canadian band "Triumph". I won a video contest and got to jam with them. They all signed my snare at the end of the session. The video is on my channel.

[@GamegisKhan]

Domenic Nardone ooh thats pretty sweet, I'll check it out, great cover btw :D

[@pedroooooooooobecker]

By the way, how did you remove the original drum track?

[@matthewfive6]

GREAT!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks!

[@michaelbowman8113]

[@rondickson4964]

Oh my God!! That's fantastic!! How long did it take you to nail it like that? I'm trying to play it and it's killing me. Do you give lessons? Just wow.

[@Body_Dropped]

awesome cover man 🤘 do you have different cameras recording different angles?

[@DomenicNardone]
