That’s how us drummers keep time sometimes when not using double bass…nothing new here dude watch Taylor Hawkins from the foo fighters, his foots going constantly !
I always found that very complicated for me, as a self taught drummer i have a lot of bad habits including not marking time with my left foot on the hihat. Probably that's why i don't have great tempo consistency. I sometimes instinctively move my leg during some parts, but definitely not whole songs
Honestly why am I the exact same thought it was so mid when it came out and after hearing it a bunch it’s one of my faves from the album and even when they played it live it slapped
Any drummer that can consistently keep their metronome timing on the hi hat deserves all the praise. While I wasn't the biggest fan of Obsidian, I can always respect a good drum playthrough.
I get to see Northlane live for the first time next month. Been around since Discoveries and I'm SO excited. Nic drew me and my friends into the band he's a large part of the reason I'm still around - such beautiful clean drumming that is a joy to listen to and jam along with. Cheers for all the good memories Nic!
Yo Nick never stop being sick bro cause u are one bad ass dude on those drums I watch u almost every day cause I’m a drummer also and I love seeing your talent
This song starting to become my favorite on the album. Perfect match of tone, musicianship, the literal lyrical content, etc. It's a work for art in the highest sense of the word.
This song is absolute fiyya. And actually just hearing the instrumental (which is super cool by itself), made me realize again how incredible Marcus' vocals are 🤍:)
I love this drum cover so much it wasn't my favorite at first listen but after a few days with my new well half new jib true 2's what a awesome drummer nic #northlane
The drumming is honestly incredible, such tasteful playing straight in the pocket... I get the feeling that the camera operator may have had one too many pints before filming however... 🤣
Can we just appreciate that he’s keeping time with his foot on the hi-hat pretty much the whole song. Like damn dude 🤯
That’s pretty standard stuff tho
I’ve never had the balls to do that

The tom fill placements get me every time.
That's the best part of the record for me
It’s always a game to hear which part and count he fills in. Always tasteful, thoughtful and different
Agreed, ever since Genesis on Singularity, it's been my favorite part of his playing.
@@jonfusco398 I know what you mean. Nic is great at throwing you off.
Fucking oath
2:26 was not expecting the fill to be that. Very unique.
3:12 SHEEESH that was CLEAN man... this song is a masterpiece
“And the worms call me their home” always got me feelin’ some type of existential way 🥹
Like, dune worms ?
I especially like how Nic hits the cymbals in his 101% signature way ❤
That snare tone is HOHO. Superb mix and playing as always Nic!
Wtf is hoho
@@k.w.a.s take a wild stab in the dark
Nic is the GOAT drummer. His composition is next level
ll is better
@@mr.meeseeks7374 You wish.
@@chrisfaurlin5731 ll from sleep token definitely is better. This dude here is average at the best.
Only discovered these guys late last year. Makes me even more proud to be an Aussie.
Wait... what??
Same here mate, it blew my mind!!
When this song first released i thought it was OK then over the last year its become one of my favorite songs ever.
Honestly why am I the exact same thought it was so mid when it came out and after hearing it a bunch it’s one of my faves from the album and even when they played it live it slapped
that was me and Cypher
No cap, I didn't like ANY of Obsidian at first. Now I can't get enough of it
@@maxalaintwo3578 not even the title track?
@@greigns7781 not even the title track. Not immediately, anyway.

Yess ive been waiting years to see them. Alpha Wolf, Fit For a King, Kingdom of Giants, Northlane.. just got my tix a few days ago,
Have a lot of fun! Saw them open for Architects in Germany and it was huge!
@@8JFJK8 My body is literally not ready for Alpha Wolf. I wish I could mosh as hard as I used to!
@@SockPuppetDinosaur i seen Alpha live in August and it was the most insane mosh ive ever been in
Seeing them next month in NYC. Literally counting the days ha.
Yo Nick never stop being sick bro cause u are one bad ass dude on those drums I watch u almost every day cause I’m a drummer also and I love seeing your talent
Keeping that time on the hat pedal while doing that kick groove through the whole song is MIND BLOWING to me
Just about the most "away facing" setup I've seen. Great playing
This song starting to become my favorite on the album. Perfect match of tone, musicianship, the literal lyrical content, etc. It's a work for art in the highest sense of the word.
This is some strong musical magic right here!
Friggin love this beat and those fills. ❤
You don't expect a drummer to be this clean and focust on small details with this genre music
It is just insane how clean this is!
Dude the way you orchestrated that whole track was wicked, and that left foot is solid!
Definitely not as easy as people may think with the polyrhythms going around
I've listened to this song so many times that I could play it too hahaha. Nick plays with great simplicity but with an absolute style
Insane drum work as always!
These drum playthroughs give me life. Please do more.
That snare though
I love that Nic is always growing as a drummer. So stoked to see the consistent pedal hat!
Node vibes. Love it ❤❤
The way he plays drums is mesmerizing!!
Everyday Nic's cymbals stray further and further away from him haha.
Great playthrough!!
This song is absolute fiyya. And actually just hearing the instrumental (which is super cool by itself), made me realize again how incredible Marcus' vocals are 🤍:)
The crash cymbals sounding dope AF
This Snare sound and how clean! You TIGHT groving!
Dude this is the best thing ive heard since heart machine!!! Well played nic peterson!
Nic is such a master of serving the song
the crack of that snare is just chefs kiss
Was hoping a drum playthrough would be made of this! Cool fucking song. 🔥
In a world full of jacked af drummers, Nic is here to put em all to shame.
I love this drum cover so much it wasn't my favorite at first listen but after a few days with my new well half new jib true 2's what a awesome drummer nic #northlane
I thought this whole album was so mid until I kept listening and listening to it and turned out to be one of my favorite Northlane albums.
Damn I love watching Nic play.
The way his hi hat always ticking in the entire song is seriously something 🤯
that fill at 2:26 always breaks my mind
Seeing Nic play this song while tapping those hi-hat 8th notes hurts my brain! 🤯
i like how everything is angled slightly away from you, helps with equipment longivity but also looks super wicked!
so goood! His kit setup gives the illusion of the stage leaning forward 😂
I've been anxiously awaiting more drum play throughs from Nick. This is so sick!
That bass drum sound is incredible
My favorite song off the album. Can't wait to see you guys in fl!!!!
Babe wake up Nik dropped a new play through!
Northlane is back!!!
Can’t wait till next Friday!! First time seeing you guys at the House Of Blues of Anaheim. Hell yeah!!
Dude, that Snare tone is just insane.
That Leaning Tower of Pisa snare be sounding GOOD.
Simply great drumming :)
perfection! 🖤 we need more of it!
Ahhh time for a treat! Thank you Nic!
This song plays in my head daily. Love it!
Such a sick song!! Great drumming
Nic is amazing
Incredible drum sound and very interesting way you have everything setup. Great video.
Superb
Nic is on another level.
My favorite track!💥

Esse cara é um gênio ☝🏻
Those tones!
Yeeaaa man finally we got to see the man !!
The drumming is honestly incredible, such tasteful playing straight in the pocket...
I get the feeling that the camera operator may have had one too many pints before filming however... 🤣
Those crashes sound insane.
Offft! 😤🔥

Beautiful drumming as always Nic!
