This song taught me what ghost notes were 8 years ago. Had to come back and groove again. Been drumming on and off since 2007 or so. Still haven't reached this tier performance level. I'm all breakdowns lol
Good question! I actually have regular foam earplugs in, and have towels in my drums and tape under my cymbals. I have the song blasting out of a PA wedge to my left - you can probably see it in a couple shots. This is a video technique i got from doing some music videos in the past!
@TheAntimetal the "weird" stack is just an old 18" Sabian china with an inverted hihat! in the studio, it was a 14" New Beat top with a chunk out of it, but for this vid i threw a 12" Dream Bliss bottom - which also sounds rad! I'm still searching for my perfect stack combo...
@S006Deluxe In this video you'll see a custom 14x6.5 20ply Essex County Drums snare with 4 two-inch vent holes...this thing is a beast! Usually I use a 14x6.5 Pearl Sensitone Elite snare, which is extremely versatile, and i usually use in the studio. Thanks!
@iloveskateboarding45 Yea i've always done the multi-purpose ride thing, and have had 3 Sweet Rides in the past - but I've never been fully satisfied by anything! I've recently been endorsed by TRX Cymbals, so I have a full set coming in before the tracking of our upcoming EP. The versatility of these cymbals are unbelievable!! Keep an eye out for em in future cover/playthrough vids!

@AurasOfficial STOP SEARCHING that sounds beautiful hahah i was just gonna ask about it dude. it sounds amazing i just gotta get an 18" china now hahah
@iloveskateboarding45 I actually have no idea what either of those dudes use, but it looked to me like Navene had more of an auxiliary trash-hat type thing live. Rudi seems to use different stuff - yesterday I was watching his promo video for the Classics Extreme Metal series, and the stack seemed to have a decent-sized crash on top! I never did any research on the stacks, just reached in my closet and grabbed whatever sounded neat... there are TONS of options!!
@iloveskateboarding45 hahah well i hate the top too, but i've been lost/lazy with how to cut it properly and not slice my hand afterwards while playing...i'm getting something called the RemoteSpeedyHat which will let me get that low level hihat I desire, along with putting it out in front of me - really cool invention! As far as a ride, I do indeed use one, but i crash it more than ride it. I always need both cymbals to have prominent, articulate bells so I'll sometimes use 2 rides.
@iloveskateboarding45 yea man for sure! now i see which one you're referring to, and i agree - it's badass!! i'm gonna try to go with a 16" china bottom next time cause i'm finding the 18" to be a little space-invading when i want to be compact...
P.S. I know, the drums here in this song are already processed, but it's amazing seeing someone play it on this kind of kit, using as little as possible, but still slamming the hell out of his drums! :D
Yeah, they do. Eric Almeida. Check out this UA-cam channel for both versions of both songs, or go to the Bandcamp link in the video description to download them for free.
@StolenMicrophone caught me!! i'm surprised you didn't call out the random snare stroke i threw in while filming... note-for-note matching (even for my own parts) proved to be more difficult than i had anticipated!
@AurasOfficial im very excited for you man! i hear the TRX's in all the orbins videos i watch and they sound amazing and are sooo versatile. congrats dude! Hey check out Rosewood, were a band from Ontario/Montreal and we really love your stuff and it would mean a lot to us :)
@AurasOfficial thats the best part, im trying to find one that suits my style. the one rudinger used for just the two animals vids is something id LOVE to try though
Nathan man, killin it, so pissed i left c-bridge, me and Horniblow were gonna start a band again buuut im not in town now :( lol i have to come see a show with like David Sackey, Rahib and steve and everyone and shit. Ps are you guys gonna be playing with Intake cause i thought i heard Matt saying you were :) cause that would be toooo dope of a show lol... props man!!!!! i can see you gettin big like the Twin is now :)
@AurasOfficial thats sick though, i use a ride as a crash, but mainly because i like a small ass kit haha. so you dont always use two 'A' customs up top?
@AurasOfficial oh check out navenes or the one alex rudinger uses in his animals as leaders covers, yours looks as cool as theirs, its a mb20 china from meinl with a filter china on top. its pretty perfect! its got a pretty unbeatable and unique stack sound. but you probably knew that haha
I'm not sure! All I know is that it would be tough for me to execute everything smoothly at a slower pace, on top of remembering little parts - plus i'm not really sure how i can speed something up to match the song perfectly...
Changed my life 10 years ago. Still crossing the space time Continuum
I come back to this video once in awhile. Just to see how far y’all have progressed! This was my favorite song when this album dropped!
Still one if the best songs ever composed. Please play this when Auras finally hit the UK!
This song taught me what ghost notes were 8 years ago. Had to come back and groove again. Been drumming on and off since 2007 or so. Still haven't reached this tier performance level. I'm all breakdowns lol
I just learned the first minute. Nathan is straight up nasty
One of my favorite drummers ever.
Nathan is slept on. Lowkey one of the best metal prog drummers out there
Good question! I actually have regular foam earplugs in, and have towels in my drums and tape under my cymbals. I have the song blasting out of a PA wedge to my left - you can probably see it in a couple shots. This is a video technique i got from doing some music videos in the past!
I like the floating floor tom, also I thought these drums were programmed in the song except for the snare ghost notes. That is a compliment.
Out of all the songs I’ve EVER listened to, the part that starts at 2:10 is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Never gets old how heavy that is.
Could watch this over and over again. So freaking awesome! His ghost notes are just insane. Hes got bis own unique drum style. I Love it.
This video is at the top of my music list for 2023 🤘 Probably much like previous years, but I never checked those 😅
I can’t believe I just discovered you guys (Auras). You guys a freaking magical! Keep up the amazing work and be sure to have tons of fun doing it!
omg I love that fucking breadown, it is so calm and omg 2:09
@Drumtome the bell of the cymbal! In the studio I used a Meinl Classics 8" bell, but live i prefer the natural feel of a cymbal's bell ;)
Omg your style is so amazing
You use everything and very well too
And im liking all the ghost notes on the snare
3:18...so satisfying
definitely a drummer who "is at one" with his kit! knows exactly how to get the best sounds out of it!
@TheAntimetal the "weird" stack is just an old 18" Sabian china with an inverted hihat! in the studio, it was a 14" New Beat top with a chunk out of it, but for this vid i threw a 12" Dream Bliss bottom - which also sounds rad! I'm still searching for my perfect stack combo...
Amazing drummer and music.
Nathan is one of the best! Disappointed i missed my chance to see them in Elizabethton TN.
@S006Deluxe In this video you'll see a custom 14x6.5 20ply Essex County Drums snare with 4 two-inch vent holes...this thing is a beast! Usually I use a 14x6.5 Pearl Sensitone Elite snare, which is extremely versatile, and i usually use in the studio. Thanks!

Mr. Bulla you are wicked awesome man...and you know I will say this every I see you drum!!!
I think this is the best thing I've ever seen on youtube
been watching this for the last two years. still mazing
me too. I began to learn to play it today, the first few seconds already took me hours, lel.
Dammit.... i love that break, soo much....
@mrd00i it's coming up really close to the ten year mark when I got my first drum kit!
I'm already in love for the band *-*
I honestly feel like you guys are the next periphery or Scale the Summit. So talented, and tight.
awesome skills. outstanding movements !
Soo awesome. What a Track, what a Band. This is my reference of Metal.
@AurasOfficial STOP SEARCHING that sounds beautiful hahah i was just gonna ask about it dude. it sounds amazing i just gotta get an 18" china now hahah
This is sooo fucking good ..Most stoked I've been on music this heavy in a while! Its so fun to listen to..!
UNBELIEVABLE, this tone comes from this kit? It sounds so much bigger! Schweeettttt!
brilliant Nathan, just plain brilliant!!!
I love this song, band, and drummer. Real grooves.
@iloveskateboarding45 I actually have no idea what either of those dudes use, but it looked to me like Navene had more of an auxiliary trash-hat type thing live.

this is absolutely dirty dude, amazing
so nice to see such awesome talent in an upcoming band.
@iloveskateboarding45 hahah well i hate the top too, but i've been lost/lazy with how to cut it properly and not slice my hand afterwards while playing...i'm getting something called the RemoteSpeedyHat which will let me get that low level hihat I desire, along with putting it out in front of me - really cool invention!
As far as a ride, I do indeed use one, but i crash it more than ride it. I always need both cymbals to have prominent, articulate bells so I'll sometimes use 2 rides.
Awesome. That fill at 2:10 was groovy as fuck. Loved it
That's the correct way to enter in a breakdown...
WOW! I watch a lot of awesome UA-cam videos but this is one hell of a song! Great drumming!
@iloveskateboarding45 yea man for sure! now i see which one you're referring to, and i agree - it's badass!! i'm gonna try to go with a 16" china bottom next time cause i'm finding the 18" to be a little space-invading when i want to be compact...
@Drumtome i see what you are saying, i saw that too, but honestly its a new perspective and approach and it intrigues me!
P.S. I know, the drums here in this song are already processed, but it's amazing seeing someone play it on this kind of kit, using as little as possible, but still slamming the hell out of his drums! :D
Sounds so good 🔥
You guys sound amazing.
the entire song just grooves. jealous forever :(
dude ur awesome i like ur drum kit digging the rainbow drum kit man and im serious i really do like it! keep it up bro!! your a awesome drummer
I only hope to someday be this good at composing and playing drums.
Really amazing job dude. very impressed. sick song as well
Incredible song

My god, you are just amazing.
Yeah, they do. Eric Almeida. Check out this UA-cam channel for both versions of both songs, or go to the Bandcamp link in the video description to download them for free.
serio uma das minhas bandas preferidas ! Auras lool ... lool
Fucking brutal! I love all the ghost on the snare you've got placed in here, so sick!
freaking awesome bro!
i expected you to have less expectations! :)
Your motions remind me a lot of Matt Halpern. Nice!
@StolenMicrophone caught me!! i'm surprised you didn't call out the random snare stroke i threw in while filming... note-for-note matching (even for my own parts) proved to be more difficult than i had anticipated!
mind-blowing
The legend 🇧🇷🔥
No mics guys. He's just giving a visualization. Although I'm very aware he is the one that recorded the song.
Sick dude!
so sick dude! I love how subtle yet brutal 2:12 is. Good work guys!
awesome job dude i think i was just promoted 2 a fan. :d
2:55 tom sounds like snare, magic
Yeah the album drums are mixed with this take. That how 98% of them do it
@AurasOfficial im very excited for you man! i hear the TRX's in all the orbins videos i watch and they sound amazing and are sooo versatile. congrats dude! Hey check out Rosewood, were a band from Ontario/Montreal and we really love your stuff and it would mean a lot to us :)
daammmnnnnnnn, nice job man!
so much epicness
legend
@AurasOfficial thats the best part, im trying to find one that suits my style. the one rudinger used for just the two animals vids is something id LOVE to try though
I thought the same thing. so did my wife. She saw me watching it and actually asked if it was him. good stuff.
amazing
nice sofa haha sick drumming dude
UNREAL!
wow this was fucking awesome bro you should do another video like this.
bang on dude ;) music video style!!
Nathan man, killin it, so pissed i left c-bridge, me and Horniblow were gonna start a band again buuut im not in town now :( lol i have to come see a show with like David Sackey, Rahib and steve and everyone and shit. Ps are you guys gonna be playing with Intake cause i thought i heard Matt saying you were :) cause that would be toooo dope of a show lol... props man!!!!! i can see you gettin big like the Twin is now :)
1:15 this part daaaamn is sound so greeeat
SICK!!!!!!!
i love how your set is different colors, haha i thought i was the only one who did that.
Imo best drum playthrough I've seen.
Yeah ist awesome but watch: Chris Turner - High Horse! But Nathan is also one of man favorite drummers.
I think Alex Rüdinger is also technically a monster, but Nathan's style of playing is still the one I feel and admire the most.
Amazing dude ! all of you'r parts are just sick fuck !
Incridible
Your left hand is so damn fluid!
that was fucking awesome.
man that high hat in the china gives it a really cool sound nice :D
pero que buen tema!! donde puedo conseguir su musica??
@AurasOfficial thats sick though, i use a ride as a crash, but mainly because i like a small ass kit haha. so you dont always use two 'A' customs up top?
Back then bands like VOM, auras, circle of contempt and 2008 boo were playing breakdowns like a bouncing ball.
Hey Nathan can u please breakdown that fill @ 2:10 that leads into that awesome groove ?!
its a stack, its a china with i think maybe a splash flipped to sit in the china. idk what two cymbals they are though.
@TheAntimetal Thanks tons dude! My parents went on vacation so I commandeered their house one day....I'll tell them you think so ;)
@AurasOfficial oh check out navenes or the one alex rudinger uses in his animals as leaders covers, yours looks as cool as theirs, its a mb20 china from meinl with a filter china on top. its pretty perfect! its got a pretty unbeatable and unique stack sound. but you probably knew that haha
perfect
I'm not sure! All I know is that it would be tough for me to execute everything smoothly at a slower pace, on top of remembering little parts - plus i'm not really sure how i can speed something up to match the song perfectly...
What kind of china cymbal is the one thats in the middle of your set up?
I love how crisp it sounds. :)
dude ur kit sounds so nice do u have mics because i dont see them
