Best song(s) of all time! It's insane how much this song has helped me get through darker parts of my life.. And seeing one of my favourite drummers play it.. what a joy! Watching this has been part of my daily routine for months now!
What a fucking beast. Haven’t listened to them in a while, it’s 1:30am and now I’m on UA-cam, listening to old Northlane songs and watching their drum covers. True art.
Watching this video amazes me every time I watch it. It has turned an anxiety attack into a crazy moment of thought about music and how emotional Nic's drum playing is. I am inspired to push my drumming to the emotional point that Nic Petterson has, and go farther. I'm practicing Nic I will be at your level one day. Hopefully we run into each other at a show that we both are playing.
Still Mad High. After reviewing Solar, I ended up here and remembered why old Northlane... and 1 reason above the vocals, lyrics or content is the Sound Quality. Watching Nic at work with it sounding this good with 1 of their best ever tracks shows what is missing at times in music. The classics can never be beaten ... if even Aspire can be claimed to be one. This is a magnificent performance from an amazing Drummer who doesn't get the respect or reputation deserved. For the talent: 6.25/5
epic playing to watch, but even more impressed by the musicality of the part writing to begin with. never seen a metal drummer orchestrate their parts to the rest of the band so well. extremely musical writing 🤘🏻
Northlane wouldn't be the same band without your creativity on drums Nic, you're a fucking inspiration man. So glad to have met you and the band, congratulations on how far you have all come since then.
huge fan of your drumming and Northlane!!!!! Northlane is about the sickest band I'v heard in years. Singularity is unbelievable. most inspirational album to me in a long time....
This man amazes me, Look at everything he does. He has so much focus with every hit and it's truly amazing. Glad I can call him my Favorite drummer and the drummer to my favorite band.
Honestly one of the best things about this song/his drumming are the little subtleties, like the triplets he does with the one hand doing double at 0:28 - 0:30
Impresionante tener la oportunidad de ver y escuchar como es el ritmo de la bateria en las dos canciones , cuando el protagonismo a veces se lo lleva el vocalista de una banda cualquiera ... genial man ...un gran baterista ... Saludos desde Argentina Viva Northlane Unas de mis bandas favoritas Viva el metal 😂👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👍😂😡🤟😁
do the whole album please! you really get to have a true sense of how well written the album is when you get to see the band playing their work, amazing stuff!
I’ll never figure out that little groove at the end 😔 so much chaos and elegance in that cymbal pattern I just can’t comprehend what the hell he’s hitting first even though it’s the same pattern for the last section
I'm always impressed with drumming because I don't understand how they can compose and even remember such a technical song ( i speak for advanced "metal" drumming in general, it's doesn't stands only for N. Pettersundrums )
FINALLY been waiting for this! Watched your corruption video at least 100 times , so here's to another 100 on this one. You're changing the drumming game for us prog metal/djent drummers out there; very well done Nic!!
If you're referring to the sound they are giving on this video, this is just the track and he's playing to it. The drum sounds you here are the one's made in the studio when recording the album.

9 years... still one of the best drum playthrough
No fuckin doubt!!!!
10 years and still top tier
Agreed
have to come back to it at least a couple times a year
I always come back here 😅🇧🇷
This era of Northlane is still fucking untouched.
Northlane would not be anywhere near as good without this man behind the kit. I think he's got one of the most unique styles in metal right now.
Amen!
100% agree. his feet move like no other. this play-through is always such a joy to watch.
i love Nic, but i feel Matt helpern and Matt gariska are far better and unique players
There couldnt be a better drummer for northlane
FACTS
So satisfying to watch.
Everywhere
The mix of the drums on the album is mind-blowing
Yeah it's one of my favorite drum mixes!
This (amd i guess the album.version) sound completely sampled and over compressed. What are you talking about?
Rogier d'Ancona you came in 4 years late with some bullshit like that? Gtfo dude this mix is brilliant
Ive got an artist crush
Its not often that you see somebody so passionate
I wouldn't say Nic is a drummer. He's more an artist or a wizard on the drums. So fucking inspiring.
Nic plays with such conviction I love it.
too good!
Best song(s) of all time! It's insane how much this song has helped me get through darker parts of my life..
And seeing one of my favourite drummers play it.. what a joy! Watching this has been part of my daily routine for months now!
This guy has the cleanest drumming I've ever heard. It's fucking crazy.
Never heard Danny?
2:23 "SO YOU WANT THE FUCKING TRUTH?!" bitch slaps cymbal.
this is a play through
Well done
2019 and this is still dope
it´s always gona be dope
Still dope in 2022. There will only ever be one Nic Peterson in this world. 😉
Yep, Nic is a master of his kit. He's the backbone of the band and they wouldn't be the same without him.
This is how entertaining drummers play. Looks like he's trying murder his drums every time he hits them.
Casey Walle xD
Yeah and with absolute precision and creativity
Is called feeling
Every time I turn this on, I expect to just watch for Genesis and I end up watching the whole thing. Beautiful work Nic.
Here I am again, doing the same thing. It's amazing how far Nik has come.
one of the best playthroughs and one of the best metalcore drummers in my opinion :D

Well, everybody is talking about Northlane being nothing without Adrian, BUT FVCK THEY WOULD BE NOTHING WITH NIC!
Please make more of these Nic, especially on your first two Northlane albums ❤️
I really like his drumming a lot
I fucking idolise this guy. If I could drum like him I'd only need a kit to be happy
Dan Melizan I know right? his style is just so fucking sick
Nic if you see this, you are an unbelievable drummer, northlane would not be the same without you. you're a huge inspiration :) never give up
I really appreciate how incredibly emotive you are when you play. It's visible how much you love the music.
I've seen this video about... er... at least 50 times now. And still watch it from top to bottom every time. \m/

God I love his drumming style. Awesome to hear something a little different from the usual.
This is the first time ive watched a playthrough all the way and not get bored half way through.
Ummmmm, what did I just watch and HOW did this band fly under my radar for so long?! That was a freaking trip, simply amazing!
My favorite Northlane song. Has been since launch. Tattoo's on my arm from it. The song that started my love for them
one of my all time favorite bands. their lyrics really hit home. and they are just SOO talented.
not sure why i love this video but i watch it like once a week haha. love his playing style
epic playing to watch, but even more impressed by the musicality of the part writing to begin with. never seen a metal drummer orchestrate their parts to the rest of the band so well. extremely musical writing 🤘🏻
still here still blown away
wow I forgot how awesome this was!
His attire proves that drumming is just as, if not more, athletic as an accredited sport.
I don't play drums yet I come back to this video like a pilgrim, every year. What a talent.
Northlane wouldn't be the same band without your creativity on drums Nic, you're a fucking inspiration man. So glad to have met you and the band, congratulations on how far you have all come since then.
huge fan of your drumming and Northlane!!!!! Northlane is about the sickest band I'v heard in years. Singularity is unbelievable. most inspirational album to me in a long time....
Here again, after 7 years, and I'm still learning..
🙏
watching drum playthroughs in 2x is quite entertaining
Best drummer of the genre agggh I love him
The most entertaining drum-play-through i've yet seen. So tight.
This is one of the best drum play-throughs on UA-cam.
Who needs to mic up the kit when you can can just hit every note perfectly! Hope Northlane keeps making stuff like this!
This man amazes me, Look at everything he does.
He has so much focus with every hit and it's truly amazing.
Glad I can call him my Favorite drummer and the drummer to my favorite band.
how does this not have over a million yet.
I love how you can see him trying to retrieve air half through by full puffasion of checks. Bloody Great Drummer!
That was so crazy! He goes so hard and so fast and make it look effortless!...well played sir!
i can always watch this as many times and enjoy it as much as i did the first. so goooooooooood.
This is ART
You are up there with Matt Greiner and Adam Gray as one of the best drummers on the scene today. This is just insane.
Goddammit I love discovering new killer drummers.
One of my favourite drummers out there now!!!!
Honestly one of the best things about this song/his drumming are the little subtleties, like the triplets he does with the one hand doing double at 0:28 - 0:30
This is why I listen to metal. Well done man! It would take me 3000 years to be able to maybe do that.
I miss this Northlane so much
this and discoveries I miss so much.
you need to upload more of these man.
Man, this was an absolute pleasure to watch! I love your playing style, intensity, sound, everything! Great fuckin' job, brother!
Done with so much passion. Amazing.
I love this ! WE want more!
Impresionante tener la oportunidad de ver y escuchar como es el ritmo de la bateria en las dos canciones , cuando el protagonismo a veces se lo lleva el vocalista de una banda cualquiera ... genial man ...un gran baterista ...
Saludos desde Argentina
Viva Northlane
Unas de mis bandas favoritas
Viva el metal
😂👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👍😂😡🤟😁
do the whole album please! you really get to have a true sense of how well written the album is when you get to see the band playing their work, amazing stuff!
I’ll never figure out that little groove at the end 😔 so much chaos and elegance in that cymbal pattern I just can’t comprehend what the hell he’s hitting first even though it’s the same pattern for the last section
Brother you are younger than me,But inspire me to play and not want to stop!!!Excellent playing my man just Excellent!!!
I come back to this often
7 Years and this is still sick sf
The secret is in the thight's.
Maybe the best drummer ever existed!
Come back to this one often. 🤘🏻
I'm always impressed with drumming because I don't understand how they can compose and even remember such a technical song ( i speak for advanced "metal" drumming in general, it's doesn't stands only for N. Pettersundrums )
this shit looks like a damn workout
I love how you physically lean into these accents man. Super talented 🤘🏽
Seriously, Nic is one of the most on-time and self aware drummers I've ever seen.
please do more these are epic to watch
Favorite band + favorite drummer
Amazing playthrough. I love the intro so much!
I wish they would come out with another album like this. It just hasn't been the same
Because Adrian is gone. The heart and soul had left, they’re merely imitating their former selves
@@voyager1568 that is outrageously delusional to say
your tom fills are so god damn good
The sound of these drums are FLAWLESS.
Best Metalcore Drummers:
Matt Greiner
Luke Holland
Adam Gray
And Nic Pettersen
Adam Gray from Texas in July was also pretty top game to me
I think you mean:
Matt Greiner
Luke Holland
Only does bell fills
And Nic Pettersen
add jerod boyd and chris turner take away austin and we're good
Dan searle from Architects anyone?
Miguel Valderrama Fuck yeah adam is a beast
Such a unique style i love it!
I love the way you hit those crashes hard af man
Nic is a God! unique as fuck, he's #1 in our scene
Loving the skins!
The time signature in Northlane's songs seriously mess with my head!!!!
This is mostly 4/4 tho
FINALLY been waiting for this! Watched your corruption video at least 100 times , so here's to another 100 on this one. You're changing the drumming game for us prog metal/djent drummers out there; very well done Nic!!
Nic my BROTHER. This shreds SHREDS dude! Seriously blown away. Solid.
-Clark
watched this 6 times already today. fuck. so much talent. privileged to see this live.
About time you posted one man! Loved the play through!
Holy shit man, that was amazing. Def worth the wait since your last!
the imps are approaching
Just looking how warped his cymbals are, Nic plays with the utmost energy and passion!
The GOD on his throne ladies and gentlemen
If you're referring to the sound they are giving on this video, this is just the track and he's playing to it. The drum sounds you here are the one's made in the studio when recording the album.
