fucking sick

[@nickhajek]

Thanks Pierre!

[@ktrak222]

Dude this is SOOOO sick!!! Great job, favorite band and awesome salute to one of the greatest drummers. I also play and am having real tough time breaking down those fills, do u have any tips or transcribes?? Thanks for sharing new friend!

[@nickhajek]

Hey Kenrick, greatly appreciate the comment. As for the fills, I definitely don’t play them the way Matt does. I mostly just throw them around the kit. I think he (from watching videos) tends to keep his fills mostly on snare and accenting in his toms. The key is obviously being able to do a sustained 16th note roll at 170bpm or whatever the song is. Good luck, I know you’ll get it.

[@AC-hj9tv]

Are you a wizard

[@jond532]

got the stems?

[@filippiletic1461]

Beautiful! POV makes it even better. Wish you had better recording conditions because your certainly have talent.

[@nickhajek]

Thank you kindly Filip! I wish I had better audio recording equipment as well. Thanks for watching. Be well!

[@sejoguelmi947]

Is it so difficult to play this song?

[@nickhajek]

Josmy escorcia Thanks for the comment Josmy. It’s not terrible once you get used to the speed and maintaining that speed.

[@Zapheteroped]

Yes
