Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden DRUM COVER

[@ultimaterestorationexperience]

9 years passed and this is still the best drum cover of this song on KZbin !!! AMAZING !!!

[@scotthovey4828]

Agree!! It's his ferocious attack and split-second timing! It's amazing to watch every time.

[@yanickgil6220]

Agree!

Dá uma olhada nesse rapaz aí!

[@metalstorm7506]

I just love how the minimalistic drum kit sounds in competent hands

[@vikassm]

Same thoughts! Like someone said on his cover of 2 minutes to midnight, "who needs a big kit to sound good" :)

[@vlgl5752]

He seems totally in control of the instrument; the way he swings sounds like he's improvising yet he literally got all of the parts right (with couple of his own tasteful twists here and there). Great work!

[@michaeldean7220]

Very true but of course ironic since Nicko's kit is huge! :)

[@hpawebster65]

John Bonham's kit is like this and he's considered best rock drummer of all time.

[@sigmarschuster5129]

Amazing...

[@firedrum8]

Allow me to explain something about this. We have cars with a lot of technology now days. Drummers cheat all the time as well with hi hats every where and drums even up their ass. Cymbals not to mention we could wear them as hats.....this guy is the Raw Bad Ass as Drummer as a 1968 Camaro . Just plane jane on your face. 👍👍👍. I know what I am talking about. I'm just as raw as that. Drumming is my passion. Kudos to this guy. Simple and Heavy. No BS.👊👊👊👍☝

[@chriskirkpatrick2291]

Blew me away, I didn't know some younger people want to REALLY play drums.

[@robertsmith5795]

Probaly the best and most accurate drum cover i have seen of this song! Very well done!!

[@RodClinard]

Huge Maiden fan, and I totally agree. Nailed it. There were a couple of "personal touches" but it was awesome. Well done sir!

[@ItzakShylock]

and without double wheels

[@MrRiccardoamici]

i'm agree with rob....very very good job man

[@oldhead7226]

the kid even played the triplets with one pedal, bravo!

[@malawigw]

Made on smallest kit too. Very impressive

[@taufikristianto]

This, in my opinion, is the hardest Maiden's song to play, yet it seems like you play it without any much effort. Oh, and with a very simple set, too! Simply the best drum cover of this song I've ever seen on this site

[@erichand7548]

Iron Maiden drums aren’t hard.

[@taufikristianto]

@@erichand7548 I'd like to see your cover version, then

[@vikassm]

@@erichand7548 IM drumming isn't needlessly fast or filled with fillers. Ask any real heavy metal drummer, playing songs like run to the hills and where eagles dare is extremely taxing on your arms. It's frikin amazing how Niko plays them so effortlessly, live, at the age of 60+!!! Playing double bass isn't so hard. This stuff is actually hard!

[@mrheadlessa]

@@erichand7548 lol, nice one😂

[@PJBonoVox]

@@erichand7548 Just like Led Zeppelin drums aren't hard right? It's in the player. No-one sounds like Bonham, and no-one sounds like Nicko. It's not about hard or easy in terms of hitting the notes, it's about the legends that played it and their feel.

[@gcapps100]

Simple kit + complicated song = KZbin gold. Great job.

[@streetwarrior31]

This is just the right prove that you don´t need a very BIIIIIIGGGGG kit when you are a good musician but especialy when you have the Vibe to play . Brandon...you are not "just playing " the song....YOU´RE FEELING THE FUCKING SHIT

[@BrandonBoltDrummer]

This comment is amazing! Thank you :)

[@lucasmartello2427]

I absolutely agree with streetwarrior!!!! The feeling is everything and you have the touch, man !

[@MrHarry5757]

He doesn't play the song, he is in the song.

[@tedp7773]

yep

[@Pandybelly]

I keep coming back to enjoy this cover. Absolutely brilliant in every aspect.

[@mr-underscore]

perfectly executed 10/10

[@mr-underscore]

would drum again

[@PetterDragland]

This right here is easily the best drum cover of Where eagles Dare to be found on KZbin. Amazing work, man!

+Petter Dragland Thanks bud! :)

[@davidag90]

Nico has 2 thousand drums and this guy does it with 4 - well done that man

[@f-121shanrkay5]

Without nicko's triplet....they wouldn't have not heard anything back then...listen to amy..she is one heavy hitter...

[@ivansandoval8553]

Nicko doesn't use all his set on every song jaja Maiden has lots of instrumental songs, imagine having to go get a drum piece every 2 or 3 songs in concert

[@ZSharkPH]

This guy plays with a little added thunder in his hands... Love it!!!

[@richardnoggin697]

Nicko will love this. Single bass. No cheating. Respect.

[@helenaki8]

The best Where Eagles Dare cover on KZbin. Very nice technique. Awesome sound. Even with 2 toms, the cover is near to Nicko's playing with the minutiae -bass drum kick both with snare on hi-hat playing themes, are here. Like

[@bucephalus1635]

I think that's what you call, "Nailing it". Great performance.

[@marcoschamblas4865]

Acredito que seja a melhor performance cover para esta canção do Iron Maiden! Excelente performance! Parabéns Brandon!

[@dovchartarifsky5375]

Clear proof that you don't need a fancy drum set to play one of the most difficut and iconic Iron Maiden drum arrangemets, you just need massive talent. Great job man!

[@apehead1791]

Wow! Glad this showed up in my feed 6 years after it was put out. Amazing cover by a seriously talented drummer!!

[@mikekepshire1260]

that guy is sick! absolutely shreds the kit.. awesome work!!

wow great!

Is amazing how you don t need a huge kit to make mágic playing drums,puré talent!

[@billm5291]

Awesome cover, one of the best on here. Drums are tuned beautifully. They sound fantastic.

[@dogbite7185]

The best Nicko McBrain cover I've seen in KZbin. Man, without double bass. Those fills, like McBrain Do. Respect 🤟

[@CrazyHenkie777]

Such an iconic drumtrack, I love this version!!!

[@DownMemoryLaneParis]

What a pleasure to see a good drummer, play a hard piece on a small kit and rock it. Small kits forever !!!

[@Draconior87]

What the... i'm stunned. Unbelievable. You're great!

[@bucephalus1635]

Love the accuracy of this cover. And hats off to Nicko for coming up with such a outstanding drum arrangement... What a legend. Right, now where do I begin trying to learn this?!

[@malaiko7937]

I remmember the first time i was at work and decided "let's see a where eagles dare drum cover. no one can do it even close to Nicko" then this guy showd up xD Great fuckn job! Up the fuckn IRONS!

[@BrandonBoltDrummer]

Thanks man!!

[@hugolafhugolaf]

What I absolutely love about this cover is the fact that (despite what some say on here) that it is NOT a note-for-note cover, far from it actually. Rather, Brandon made it his own, by reproducing Nicko's awesome track at times, and tastefully improvising his own fills/beats in lieu of Nicko's at other times. Simply put, this cover is a grandiose tribute to one of Maiden's best songs and Nicko's finest works, played by a very, very talented guy who is immersed in his art and reminds us that you don't need a huge kit to make a big impression. Well done!

[@bikashaloi7353]

Each time I watch you playing the cover it just blows my mind. Man..You are a Great Artist. May God Bless You.

[@personanongrataiS]

Wow , I watched it three times and it gets better and better,....absolute fantastic !!!

[@jeffbey6944]

Nice job man I hope Nicko mcbrain sees this. I know he would approve... keep Rockin!!

[@ladislavmalak444]

And this, my children, was the grand opening of the Nicko McBrain era of Iron Maiden in 1983. The first song on the first album with him. For me, mind-blowing drumming until this day, after all those years. @Brandon Bolt: Your cover is amazing, you really nailed those tripple and quadrupple kicks AND: You made this sound really full, even without a massive multi-tom and multi-cymbal Nicko-sized kit. Great job. Up the Irons! ;)

[@ladislavmalak444]

Coming back two years later.... and this is still my most favourite Iron Maiden drum cover. Quality does not age! ;)

[@irainpalencia255]

Congratulations Brandon, Play this song using that kit prove that you are a very good drummer. Very clean, great sound, and a good feeling. Bravo !!

[@chadgarber]

IRAIN PALENCIA only very good? I’d say EXTREMELY GREAT!

[@orvil9223]

Almost 9 years late, but what an awesome cover of this tune, and those drums sound fantastic, also. WOW.

[@michaelritterphd]

Great job!!! This is one of the best drum covers I have seen in a long time!!! PLEASE KEEP MAKING MORE VIDEOS!!!

[@rwfrench66GenX]

I never thought you could’ve done this on a kit that size! Unbelievable! Thanks dude!

[@rwfrench66GenX]

ctfalci apparently you’re right! Nikko’s kit is more diverse so it just seemed intuitive that a similar kit would be needed but this was awesome!

[@skeeter197140]

I'm a bass player, but this made me wish I could play drums. Awesome job!

[@windk100]

Ditto!

[@Lepal]

¡¡IM-PRE-SIO-NAN-TE!! Estaba pensando "dicen que es el mejor tema de Nicko... 'vamos' a buscarlo". Y se me cruzó, "quizás alguien lo hace cover", y en ese preciso instante me imaginé MUCHOS intentando o hacerlo bien, o ejecutarlo con... ganas, con verdadera alma... ¡¡Y te fuiste al carajo, man!! ¡Nada, absolutamente nada que reprochar! ¡Todo por elogiar! ¡Insisto: BUENÍSIMO!!!! Saludos, ¡y seguí así!

I have watched this 50 times probably. And I will continue to do so. Absolutely fantastic!

[@jonhallMusic]

Man! You have such a good groove that is just awesome. It's exactly what the tune is. It's way more of a jazzy groove than a straight rock tune. . . if ya know what I mean. Great feel! Awesome job!

[@cobachaamplia]

Not often I see a cover with any form of character... Well done - it has your style, but it is spot on. Great job, man!

[@abarragan2973]

Yeah, you nailed it! 4 pc kit will do for metal. Great job!

Man you are sooo good! I am trying to learn this on the drums and it’s not easy for me at all! You nail it all!

[@ashishgshetti]

Since this was right after Clive Burr set such high standards of drumming, Nicko mcBrain ended up giving his best shit straight out in the first song he played for iron maiden ever. This drum cover is not just simply brilliant but shows to full extent the efforts in both composition and cover play ! Awesome shit !

[@jasonbennett60]

Ashish Shetti Steve Harris was making sure everyone knew Nicko was a badass straight out of the gates, didn’t want any bullshit comparisons

Bad ass for playing on a 4 piece drum set AWSOME technic

[@fooser77]

I'm going to have to second that .. Considering Nicko plays this today on a what? 8+ piece kit? I think he sports some 6 rack toms at times .. Here is another 4 piece wizard that you may not have heard of .. But probably should be aware of .. Of just what can be accomplished on these basic "jazz" kits .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2esioBsjJh1bK8

Man.. I hope you're in a band or drumming professionally now or considering it in the future. You get more out of those 7-pieces than most drummers do with 15. Any musician/band or music school would be lucky to have you as a drummer or student...hell, you could prob just skip that step and go directly to faculty member haha.
