Nirvana inspired a whole generation with their album Nevermind, released in 1991. Their rough sound and appearance made them become grunge music icons. Their drummer Dave Grohl, also known as the lead vocalist with the Foo Fighters, shaped Nirvana's sound with his outstanding drumming and the huge energy in his performances. Here is how you can recreate his sound with a modern drum kit.

And of all the shirts you could have picked...
Thought the same ...
Right?!?!?! With the whole "hey axle" and everything. Like they fucking haatteeddd that band.
Well that fued is long over. Krist and Duff are homies and jammed live before. Dave has interviews Duff for sound city. He also invited slash over for his birthday bash, and lend Axl Rose his guitar throne when he injured his ankle.
Everything fades in time.
Jajajaja
Yeah right haha
The drum sound on nevermind is incredible. Butch Vig killed it on those sessions
💯
I love how hes wearing a guns and roses shirt while talking about nirvana lol
🤟
hi Axlll hi Axllll hiiii Axllll
😉
@@wcyee26 best comment
@@wcyee26 where's Axl?? 😂
The tom heads moving is very satisfying
Ikr
Is one supposed to assemble them a certain way to bounce that way, I find that cool as well, but just have a edrum so far😃 wanna know for when i get a acoustic set hopefully
nvm, i see what u mean now haha, read the comment before watchin
It’s effect you get when filming in slow motion (120fps e.g.)
@@ddppbbqq if you have those certain heads with the big dot in the middle, tune them low but absolutely evenly then you will get close to it.
I learned to play drums by playing along to Nevermind songs. Good job, guys
Me to
I used to set up my pillows in the arrangement of a drum set and beat the ever living fuck out of them playing Nevermind and In Utero. I mean BEAT the fuck outta my pillows. There were holes in them by the end of the summer. Now I have a drum kit and I’m more worried about poking holes in them. Thanks Dave 😹
that’s the way to go

Nirvana was definitely one of the bands who got many people out there to learn an instrument - for that alone NIRVANA rules!
I was riding my bike with headphones screaming this song when it came out :)
I was in the back o the red lion club in Newquay smashed
relate hardcore and your sentence just sent me into nostalgia frenzy i was too young for this album but remember being a kid blaring rob zombie sinister urge album riding my bike lmao
Let’s be honest the hair did most of the work. He just wanted to make a decent time video.
😎
😂
Finally another open handed drummer
I've been listening to this album for the past 20 years and it still gives me the chills
💯
Lounge act always gives me goosebumps on the first clean chorus.
Was not expecting to see Nirvana being played in open hand. Nice!
Thanjs James 🙏
I know! I think it suits the song perfectly. Open handed gives the drum performance the energy to perfectly match the song. Nice job!!
You should hold the drumstick at the bottom for nirvana that’s the way Dave holds them
Yes, well recognized.
According to Andy Wallace, who mixed the album, only a small amount of sampling was used on the snare, to give it a sort of shotgun like reverb... but ge claims it was mixed very low. What you hear is Dave Grohl playing an acoustic kit.
I love that LP snare! Been on a bucket list now for a little while, I’ve promised myself this is the last snare I’m buying 😂
Amazing how you got the kick that close without the sample.
THE SAMPLES
1:27 KICK
1:48 SNARE
2:07 RIGHT TOM (As shown in video)
2:11 LEFT TOM (As shown in video)
Butch Vig didn't use drum samples, it was Andy Wallace who did it in the final mix we all know
Do we know what drums were enhanced by samples? Or did he sample cymbals also.
@@_-_Michael_-_ I'm pretty sure he just used room samples
Like ambience? Kind of hall or something like that?
@@_-_Michael_-_ samples of drum room mics.
Yeah butch has his own released mix
Totally in awe of the work put into this. The drumming is spot on. Great, great work.
I think it sounds pretty damn close to the album sound. Regardless, you definitely got a great drum sound that would work for a rock record.
Very nicely done! Impressively close, considering the gear wasn't precisely the same.
Thanks Tyler! Much appreciated!
Lessen the muffling in the snare, bring out a little bit of the overtone. Nice sounding kit man :)
Videoke
First time I´m seeing that LP Banda snare in a rock context. Well done.
Dig it love your videos always love improving and upping my game and creating my own sounds in the process.
I challenge you to recreate the Tom Sawyer drum sound
Challenge accepted. But it will take some time to prepare the video.
@@ArtOfDrumming I'm excited to see the final result
MIght as well rename this how to get the sound city studio drum sound. Snare is a bit off though imo
You nailed that ride brightness and the floor toms pitch
Sounds amazing 🤩
This is a really good series, please do more.
Awesome sound from the drums set... Thanks for the video, very nice 👌👌
Thank You 🙏 for your nice Feedback
Spot on Drumming
Nice job, the drums sound great. I was in Smart Studios several times before it shut down. The building was up for sale in 2019.
Great video guys really enjoyed it
At 1:27 I Imagined "Iron man" from Black Sabbath starting.
True ;-)
I love this. I wish this was a series.
It is! We do have tons of videos like this check our playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLJJf4qLzrbWN0_Pdu2_XAlcQec1cgjYoj.html
Side note: Butch Vigg didn’t use drum samples at the recording stage, but Andy Wallace, who mixed the album did (kick and snare samples)
brilliant! as always!
3:10 "lets add some music" as if it wasn't already music to my ears xD
Wow, man. This was an incredible video. Congratulations! I don't know if it makes any difference to you but it just won another subscriber.
Thanks so much Daniel! And yes every single subscriber matters to us!
Well, I'm a critic myself when it comes to sounds in recordings. Especially when it comes to the drumkit for I'm a rockdrummer myself. But this Nirvana sound you created...that's darn good! And like you said it yourself, when you hear the sound of the kit it's good but not very special but when the rest of the band kicks in...Heaven! Good job dude!
Man. That punch!!!! Played very good
First time seeing this channel and I like this idea. I think it’d be cool if we could also get an in the box recreation in which you use virtual drums like Superior Drummer, Steven Slate Drums, or BFD3 for us non drummers
Refused’s The Shape Of Punk To Come would be a great one to do. That album’s drum sound is absolutely unreal in my opinion, as is David Sandstrom’s playing
Hello Billy! Thanks much for your detailed feedback! We always always trying our best. We will definitely make sure to get your suggestions up on our list 👌!
Jeez those 24 inch kick and those toms .. Killer old skull set..
Great sound! And very cool drumming 🤘
Thanks so much 😃
So far, this drumset sound is my fave👍👍👍
Great! You could create a library of sounds for electrónic drums!
Bro! Y’all did that. 👏🏽
Wow the drums really do get way out in front of of the sound in this song incredible that’s such a catchy groove to this song
👍🏻
@@ArtOfDrumming my favorite song by Nirvana by far👍
Definitely a song that influenced so many bands in the 90s
This is amazing
Ummm... beautifully filmed, may I say! Awesome lighting, angles and reflections.Nice!
Thanks 😊
please make one of these on the pinkerton drum sound
THANKS FOR THE SAMPLES!!!
You arr welcome 🤗
Love the open hand drumming.
Thanks 🙏
Great video man. Congratulations!!!
Thanks 🙏
good work your research was very accurate
It wasn't. It's so easy to look up what cymbals dave used but they didn't bother to use google i guess.
Gold...amazing man
Thanks 🙏
I forgot how much I missed this song! 🤘🏻
🤟
I started out on drums playing open handed like you do in this video. Everyone thought I was playing wrong so I unlearned it. Wish I hadn't, Mike Bordin is one of fave drummers who also plays this way.
👍🏻
Your videos are so well done. This one I could do without personally but another winner. I'm sure it's been commented on a ton already but I guess it was the Tama Bell Brass he used on this album. Would have been cool to find a brass drum for this one. That snare you've got just doesn't quite have the balls.
this drum sounds great and I love the color
Thanks 🙏 its a sonor prolite in ebony white stripe finish
Bruuh amazing 🤩
🙏
This is spot on!
You guys might want to look in to the band Helmet, they’re known for their great kick and snare sound.
Thanks so much for your feedback! Suggestions are always welcome so we will definitely have a closer look at Helmet!
Especially their album 3rd album Betty. John Stanier was the man!
Slightly missed the mark with the Hi-hats. Everything else was pretty spot on. Great video
Yup. He used 14" Zildjian A Rock Hats. I should know bc I have these bc of Dave Grohl.
@@erock8222 didn't he use New Beats? well, idk much about Zildjian
Def thought the same thing immediately. Cool vid tho
@@bbeau2023 that sounds about right. I got my pair in 1997. The catalogs for Zildjian back then didn't list the specific size for the artist. Not sure they sold the 15 inch version but he was listed as playing those. He might play New Beats now as someone mentioned.
Very nice. Cool studio too!
Impressive Sound and Drumming with the right attitude!
Thanks so much!
My Tama Imperial star kit has a 24"kick 14" and 16" mounted toms and 18" and 20" inch floor toms. I used it with a 14x4 piccolo snare that was not part of the original kit.
Though today, I no longer use acoustic drums.
You definitely should make the in utero video!! My favourite album ever
Please do a Nathan followill video his snare tone and overall drum tone from only by the nights is amazing
Insane bro. U kill it
Thanks 🙏!
Fall/early winter 1991 was an amazing time for music on MTV. So much amazing music hit during this short time. Pearl Jam released "Alive", then Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit and it get everyone's attention! It was new, raw and a contrast to the tired poser metal scene that had become so sold out by the "hair bands" like Warrant, Winger, Bang Tango, Firehouse, etc... Nirvana's "Nevermind" album was the biggest change to rock since Guns & Roses' "Appetite for Destruction" exactly 4 years earlier, and was the beginning of the Grunge movement.
💯
Great sound reproduction and great drum performance!
Thanks!
Broo that is so awsome 😱😱 it was perfect 👍👍👍👍 it sound exactly from the original record 🙌👏👌
Thanks so much!
One of the greatest songs ever!
dude, this is awesome
🙏
The 14 inch floor tom used as a rack tom, seriously looks exactly like the kit he used at Live at Paramount.
Currently trying to grow my hair like Pascal in this video x
Great sound!!
Thanks!
A good job to be fair. I think Dave used an old Gretsch or Ludwig when recording Nevermind along with the Tama Bell Brass snare. The snare which has been on countless records including The Colour and the Shape. Drums are never easy to replicate because drums sound different from room to room. Great video man sounded really nice.
🤜🏻 thanks 🙏
I like you style bro keep in rock 🤘🎸
Thanks Bro Bro 👊🏻
Those drums sounded great super good micing too.
Love the vids, thanks! I’m curious, if you only have 2 inches of kick reso head left, is it actually doing anything at that point?
Damn near nailed it. Snare sounds slightly thinner here. No mute on the snare would do the trick
Wow very cool man
Good job!
Very cool video !
Thanks 🙏
it sounds really pretty :D
Snare sounds very different. Like there’s no wires. But still a good try! And it just reminds how much there is to be done in sound design and production. Thank for your efforts and explanations!
Thanks Daniel!
Thanks 🙏 Hector!
@@ArtOfDrumming I agree with Daniel that the snare sounds a little off
But everything else sounds really great especially the bass drum.
Still a great drum sound overall.
In the world of pro drum recording, compressors are a drum sounds primary component. I didnt think this attempt was very successful at recreation, but still very very good. Mics and compression whether its comp units or natural tape compression, is the key.
Wrong! The sound of the instrument always comes first and is the most important. The compression makes a difference but won't turn a Jazz kit into a Metal kit - you have to get it right at the source. And it sounds like they did use compression in the mix.
Awesome sound
Thanks 🙏
Great video!
Thanks!
Great to see you checking out our channel! :)
Have fun exploring all the other videos
Nice video!
Fantastic job, guys! You got as close to the original as possible.
Thanks 🙏 Goran
Total kickass, brother!
Excellent sound, excellent play!
And dude... You're left-handed! Hah! Very cool!
Actually right handed but for this tune using open handed to have more punch in the right hand for the backbeat
When you wear GnR shirt and play Nirvana song, that the best fail ever 🤣
😅
Very well said bro
Im cool w his shirt, maybe he's just a 90s kid that grew up listening to the likes of gnr, metallica, pearl jam, nirvana etc. Im glad he didnt wear a nirvana shirt playing a nirvana song 😂🤣
When his phrasing is that legit he can get away with it, no doubt
🙏
This video is more of a flex of their drums and hardware than it is a sound recreation.
Video flex 10/10
sound recreation 8/10
sound recreation for any other decent drum set in tune 8/10
Thanks for your opinion on that
Nailed it!!! Are the drums compressed or EQ? How do u get rid of all the ring? For a while I thought that Dave used the drum muffling rings that go under the head but those quiet the drums too much !!
Amazing
i think one of this person's influences is Christopher Guanlao from Silversun Pickups. check out the Lazy Eye video to see what i mean.
fantastic work btw~
Well done dude
🙏
Pretty dope sound ! Really as close as possible 😉
Thanks Simone! 🙏
Sounds good. You guys managed the copyright too, which is equally amazing.🤣
Thanks and yes Copyright wasn't that easy ;-)
Well played.
