Nic Collins Hears "Whiplash" For The First Time
Jump to Connections
1,728,232 Views • Dec 27, 2022 • Click to toggle off description
When Nic Collins came out to the Drumeo studio, we asked him to describe his stylistic comfort zone. As you can imagine, rock, prog-rock, and funk were all in his wheelhouse.

We then asked him what styles he's least comfortable with, and he mentioned metal and jazz, the latter of which "is a nightmare for me".

We asked him to listen to a drumless version of "Whiplash", a jazzy 1973 Don Ellis tune that enjoyed a resurgence in the 2010s thanks to the drumming-themed movie of the same name.

Without drums in the track to guide him, Nic had to rely on his intuition to come up with a part on the fly that he thought would fit. In the end, we let him hear what the drums are actually supposed to sound like. How do you think he did?

Dude got thrown straight in the deep end and somehow came out in one piece, mad respect.

The phrase "I'm not Larnell Lewis..." makes him absolutely sympathic (likeable).

Dude had to improvise on one of the hardest jazz songs ever and absolutely nailed it! Mad respect!

"Not quite my tempo" 😂In all seriousness, he crushed it! Seeing a good musician finding his way through some unchartered territory is fantastic. Great video!

3 takes and he got it to this point? Excellent musicianship

In his breakdown of the original drums, Nic touched upon something that I think is at the heart of the style difference between rock & jazz. His instinct as a rock drummer was to add his weight to the big moments, amplifying with hits what the horns were doing, whereas the jazz approach was alternating between light and dark (playing or silence) and using the drums to colour that light. Ironically, despite saying he's not Larnell Lewis, by bringing that rock approach to jazz, he made it fusion.

After seeing this, I'm kinda mad at my Dad for not being Phil Collins.

Very confused about the comments saying he did «pretty good.» Like what?? This guy just absolutely murdered the hardest song ever featured on this show in 2 takes. One of the most impressive performances of the series, for sure.

I think it would be cool if you could get like 2 or 3 drummers to play the same game on the same song without hearing each other's ideas until the end :D

Chose the song that directly associated with a drummer spending the entire movie bleeding to get right is such an evil pick. I love it

That snare is P E R F E C T I O N - you guys tuned it, mic'd it, eq'd and compressed it perfectly. That deserves to be sampled and released as a pack

Sometimes we forget the weight of the name he carries too easily. He is humble, well-trained, young and down to earth, he has a great career ahead of him, he did very well on the tour with his father, playing with authentic sacred monsters and in front of very demanding audiences, and in this video he has put himself on the line in the best way possible by tackling a genre that is not in his league with intelligence and musical taste. I can only wish him the best, and if he then succeeds in reviving the glories of progressive rock of yesteryear I would be even happier.

"Imma struggle through it" Immediately starts nailing the intro melodically This young man is a prodigy and can proudly carry his father's name!

After watching half a dozen of these videos for metal songs, I've got to admit, jazz is an entirely different beast for this game! 🤣 I have SO MUCH respect for Nic after this!! ❤

To be fair, this guy was 21 when this video came out. Improvising over a song like this is no joke, no matter the age! Mad respect!

You can tell he's: A: Into a specific genre B: Young C: Very talented indeed D: Humble He doesn't have the experience of some older drummers but he has a great attitude and by the 3rd take he's properly getting the idea of it all. He still has that rock drummer power when he could lay back massively, or know when not to play, sometimes but that main groove when he gets on the bell of cymbal sounds amazing. After analysis, too, he gets it.

That kid is as nice and gifted his father was. It is such a pleasure to see him play.

I've seen other great drummers be given easy songs and you give the kid an extremely difficult song and he comes out alive. Mad respect for Nic. Deffinately has his dad's DNA.

The INTENSITY in his eyes when he says, “Jazz.. definitely NOT jazz!” 😂
