Nick barker gave cradle and dimmu some epic songs with heavy tones and creative fills. He is such and underrated drummer IMO 🤘

that fill at 3:42 and the face after is just the best. every drummer has moments like that where they do something so clean and perfect they cant help but to bathe in what you just did. love those moments!

Nicholas parts are no joke. Well executed and rockin.

I'm not meaning to take away anything from this video because you were absolutely 100% flawless, this was so awesome. But it just goes to prove that Nick Barker is a beast.

21 years and Nick´s Barker work is still Legendary !!!

Favorite Dimmu song ever.

Probably the all around best drum cover I've seen on KZfaq. Fucking intense.

FUCK. I used to be addicted to this album back in the day, and the drums have always been standout; but this really puts how awesome Nick Barker is. Samus being awesome goes without saying.

Please join Dimmu, like yesterday. Like yesterday 2004. Hasn't been the same since Barker's departure.

Takes a great drummer to cover Nick Barker!!! Good job brother Nick would be proud!

Really glad you got all the subtle nuances of Nick Barker's playing, and of course, you nailed the song!

Still coming back to watch this, Sammy. This and Unbiased Resistor.

Samus is back from vacation, with a vengeance! Kings imo is one of the best extreme metalsongs of alltime. It's just a masterpiece. Everything about it is perfect. The climax in the end is just insane! Some things made me laugh real hard: 2:13 magic snarehit (no hit in the vid) 4:07 magic hihat (hitting the ride in the vid) Dat overdubbing and take-syncing! Just being an ass :) Anyway: The rebound your get while blasting is CRAZY, makes me think a bit of Krimh Kerim. Huge power man.

10 years of this outstanding drum cover.

Crazy power on those blasts. Reminds me of Mike Smith, so heavy on the snare even at high speed, love it!

The greatest Dimmu Borgir song of them all!! What a great performance!

I find myself coming back to this all the time. Those blasts are so fucking clean and powerful. Would love to see The Serpentine Offering or pretty much anything off In Sorte Diaboli, my favourite Dimmu album.

Well done! Nick Barker is my fave drummer ever. And this song and album is a masterpiece

When dimmu borgir was making music. Great cover!

6:13 is the part that made my day in this brilliant cover.

This is amazing! I love going back to your older videos and watching them again. 🤘

Excellent choice in curating these drum tracks. They truly help to play with intensity, in tempo, and with a sense of melody and awareness of the key signature. Bravo.

by far top drummer known for his extreme difficulty well done animal

No matter how many times i watch your videos i still walk away impressed and in awe..im totally jealous of your skills..guitar bass and drums? I can hardly play guitar! Youre the man keep up the great work..also id love to see more slayer covers with that vocalist from the piece by piece cover...Excellent work!

Incredible cover Sam! Barker was in an interview recently talking about how much he work he would need to get back in drumming shape for this song. Your stick height is impressive during all the blasts! Amazing!

First time I'm enjoying a drummer who plays all his set with triggers. Lock on what you are doing, you will accomplish excellent jobs. I'm glad to find you here.

It's awesome to see how into the music you get. World needs more musicians like you! Keep up the great work!

Samus, you get me smiling as you play these great songs! Cheers man!

Congratulations on being one of the 5 people in the planet that can play this. I could almost be the 6th... If I had a drumkit.

im from Mexico and its so nice to see you have a poster with "calendario azteca" on your back, glad we have you again with these videos, i remember the last one i saw was "empyrean" jajaj

Holy shit you nailed this song. Idk how Nick Barker played full sets with Dimmu, because that looks insane but you crushed it. GOATed album without a doubt!

Love the blasts in this you can tell you were having fun with it!

Loved the drums of this song, never heard of it before. Great job!

Dude, fucking BRUTAL. Amazing artist for sure, stoked for more music and covers \m/

Fuck this was incredible. Barker is a savage, and you nailed his cymbals and kick nuances. Great work man, I work to be this talented some day

You make this look effortless, man, amazing stuff.

Excellent job! love dimmu and this is just perfectly done! hello from Slovakia

I use you as an example to one of my gospel drumming friends as to the badassery of metal drumming. Also this is my favorite Dimmu Borgir tune. You go my guy

Your glass beads are so clean on this along with your feels on my God it's so satisfying to watch

Damn it dude, you have done some blast beats better than I ever seen before, good job man, keep the good work.

My favorite DB song, you played it awesome, didn't miss a beat, fill or anything.

Perfect ! You should also make a cover for the song “Blessings upon the throne of tyranny“

yeh nicholas barker is a god!!

another sick cover, you never cease to amaze me!!!!

i watched live version with Tony Laureano on drums (from Wacken Invaluable Darkness dvd) and Tony improvised alot on this song.You played it flawless.This is my first youtube comment i never saw Kings of the Carnival Creation played so perfectly my wife and i were stunned

Thanks, dude. This track from my favorite album Dimmu))

Fast, powerful, versatile and tight! And you play it like it is the easiest thing on earth. :) Big Kudos for the hard work and passion you put in to master your instrument.

Can't believe the downvotes. It may not be pitch perfect, but it is beat perfect. Damn, folks! Praise the guy for being a good drummer! Far better than most I know!

dude you killed it. hope to see a kicker cam soon.

God damn man, so good! You make me want to pick up drumming again! I loved playing dimmu borgir!

6:56 me, when mum says she is tired of the noise I make while playing drums and cannot stand it anymore

I regularly come back and watch this

I love this song. Great job Samus 🤟🤟

Nick Barker would love this shit

you got it man, lots of languages and charisma. Great work, cheers from chile

To replicate Nick Barkers drum parts like this, you have to be WAY above good. Samus is a beast.

These blasts are so clean!

Simply amazing! It's good that you stopped playing the hi hat for a while to look at your thumb because the damn thing's so perfect one even doubts it's for real! 👍

Glad you're back.

How is this so fucking tight? Man, I love the drums on the Puritanical album, and you're NAILING it.

Dude you are SERIOUSLY talented.

Nice! Always loved your drumming man! :D

It's amazing how well the drum parts are written. Very nice playing as well. It looks as difficult as it sounds! (I am not a drummer)

This song is so Epic! You nailed it!

Very nice Samus, great to see some videos from you again ;) Id very much like to see a double bass video, where you show your technique, and really break it down! ;)

3:50 this tune always pops up in my head

Holy crap I requested this on one of your KZfaq streams not realizing you did it already lol

That blast beat man... wow.

Sublime, great job!

I love that song. Good job

Love the snare sound.
