Productive Nothings

My name's Nick. Here I will post everything and anything I find and feel you should know about too. I'll share my music my roommate and I make, my phone photography, and things that make me laugh. My nerd-ism crosses the spectrum of indie and metal music, apparel, drumming, stand-up comedy, podcasts, movies, videogames, skateboarding, process, art & design. If I spread awareness of anything you end up ultimately enjoying - that's my goal.

Watch this dude play a really catchy song.

God this is so stupid good.

Darren King is one my favorite musicians of all-time. I’ve actually been in a MuteMath kick every time I get in my car this last week. Just stumbled across this.

For a couple of years, this video has been my favorite piece of drumming I’ve ever seen. This video has added some of the beginning that wasn’t there before. It’s very similar to the One Note Sanka he does in a Meinl Drum Fest. Just enjoy.

Watch this dork play a new Local Natives tune, from their fantastic sophomore album Hummingbird. I really like it.

Watch this dude semi-succeed at playing along to a song from one of his favorite albums. “Sort of” by Silversun Pickups.

This dude faces a worthy opponent. One of his favorite songs ever from Red Fang’s debut album.

Benny Greb sucking at sucking at drums.

I think this is up there in my top 17 Adventure Drums videos.

Random Song: “Race: Out” by Battles

I’m not too hyped on Battles. It’s weird, I know, but it’s just John Stanier’s drumming that I can listen to for days. There is a lot of good hooks in both of Battles’ records but I skip more than half of their songs. I kind of hate how this song fades away to end the record because I don’t want that fattest-beat-of-the-record to go away.
