    The man speaks! It’s so nice to give the frontman a break and have the chance to get to know other members of the band. Drummers are criminally under-appreciated.

    It's really nice to see an interview with someone besides Noah. All the guys seem great so it's just refreshing to get to know someone else since Noah does the majority of the interviews.

    Nick is the fuckin man. Met him before a show and he was the most down to earth dude, very cool to meet these legends and they end up making you feel like they’re not a famous musician but just a homie for a little bit. Then you see them on stage an hour later and remember who they really are, savages.

    I always watch the drummers at concerts, it just blows my mind how someone can do so many things at the same time. Also love watching random drum covers and playhtroughs. Nirvana would be headlining my dream festival, almost got to see them in 1993.

    • @MS-dz1di

      I was about 10 years old when my brother started working at festivals for a company that worked with a tv channel. I don't know who was the drummer I saw when I went to a small rock festival with my parents, I can't remember the band either but I know it was the first thing I noticed when I took a look at the stage. Drumming fascinates all the time, especially if you tried it by yourself. It looks so easy but it's so fucking hard. Seeing Nick drumming makes so much fun. His energy is incredible😍

    Even though I know nothing about drums, I love hearing y'all talk about it and pretend I'm getting insight into the music. I'm sat here trying to imagine what y'all are actually talking about. Pretty fun actually. More fun than guitars too. A guitar is just a guitar, but a drum has so many parts and it seems like you can add extra things too that are not "necessary." Pretty cool.
