First Fragment - Gula Drum Playthrough by Nicholas Wells

We have a new drummer : Nicholas Wells. Here is a video of him performing Gula. One take. One Angle. No triggers. Very faithful to Troy Fullerton's original recording of the song but also very personalized. Wait until you hear the new material with him. Recorded/Engineered by Christian Donaldson at The Grid studios. Video Editing by Francis Labadie / www.musivore.com.

[@FirstFragmentQC]

He recorded that immediately after recording one entire album for another band a mere hour before. Dude is a fucking machine

[@lhegable]

What a gem you got!
Don't lose this guy! His got the golden dynamics!
I bet he is an old cryptopsy fan also😜
Stay safe and looking forward to see you all live!

[@into_the_void]

He was in the zone man... Fantastic

[@RamboFett]

I played with this guy on many occasions in different shows and bands, he's the man !

[@nespith]

I love these kinds of videos because it let's me hear so many more cymbal intricacies that I would otherwise miss.

[@caixiuying8901]

I was trying to transcribe the drums for Le Serment de Tsion, and I thought my cymbal routing was fucked because the ride was coming out on the left side.
I saw the drum playthrough for the song and realized the drummer for First Fragment is actually an open-handed drummer, his ride is on the left side by his hi-hat which is already kind of strange lol.
Good ass drummer though.

[@Breeelax]

Are musicians like that just growing on trees in Canada? Wowzas!
Goodl uck you guys! Can't wait to hear some new stuff with him on the drums and in the writing process!

[@vaekus2504]

Un des rares groupe de Tech Death qui me donne des frissons et de l'émotion à chaque écoute

[@FielTrapLaudo]

Do you guys think of making an official video playing Gula? , Best song from the album, Respect from Brazil !!!

[@bryancabrera2702]

THE GOLDEN BOY BEATDOWN SLAM That'd be awesome. I wish they'd do the same with Evhron. It's such a killer track.

[@FielTrapLaudo]

Bryan Cabrera I agree brother, it would be a fantastic production in terms of quality and musical technique.

[@un_tlaloque]

Nah, the best song is L'entite, then Gula

[@Cris_tobal-13]

[@thiago.olives]

Imagine how fat he'd be if he didn't play drum

[@drunkgamer273]

@@thiago.olives that is the only thing you can think of. Beast drummer and you are on about his weight? People like you are the problem.

[@BestOfPerusse]

[@jimmybolduc9872]

debile men ! trop hâte d'entendre le nouveau stock !

[@mitchell2719]

No triggers? Fucking hell, this guy is a beast

[@DissYraiN]

Yeah he's using them. I can see the Ekit on the left pedal. Plus you can hear it especially with the double strokes.

[@thighnostrils6669]

When are you guys gonna release another album???? You're actually my favorite band of all time, just so you know, and I've been religiously listening to at least one of your songs every day since I found you a year ago

[@thighnostrils6669]

Also, I was disappointed when you canceled your USA tour and I hope you do one for real some time in the future. Stay tech \m/

[@thrashology]

Same here bro. Been listening to ff every single day since i heard them about a year ago on youtube. Also archspire and beyond creation. They r the next generation of awesome metal straight from canada.

[@ghislainfontainebujold7834]

Fucking mighty

[@PickLost]

Please give us instrumental versions of this!

[@abdulazim666]

please make gula all instruments playthrough!

[@ElLenadorLA]

Amazing playing! Would’ve loved a different camera angle though.

[@WS-yt4om]

Did Forest rerecord the bass lines? Sounds like it here

[@WS-yt4om]

Never mind, just read the description 👍

[@Akalamiammiam]

I was the same as you ! "Damn it sounds like Forest... Well, it actually is !"

[@daveflores41]

Gods

[@igamemey1343]

Gula is sugar in my country

[@Aretumis]

No triggers on the kicks either? Just curious is all, not a troll

[@Nargaroth]

That bass drum isn't triggered?

[@viktorkorovljev1545]

Is this the same drummer from Inferi?

[@pourliver]

Nope!

[@FirstFragmentQC]

Nope. He is from our country. He also plays in DDT & Pronostic.

[@viktorkorovljev1545]

Thanks for the reply.

[@zerofender]

Dadbod Death Metal.

[@stevehunt914]

Well fuck,.....

[@tricksonafixed]

How do they go from handsome man, to the Abominable Sasquatch?

[@drunkgamer273]

Amazing drummer. Showing great skill. And you thought it is right to crawl out of your shit pit to leave a comment? Next time, just don't.

[@skyrim1336]

I cant figure out whats on his head...

[@breadeater2025]

sky rim hair

[@brenmfffusmc7803]

Its his manbun

[@bragosng1]

Veeeery nice and strong, but this camera angle... Don't think I like it that much.

[@MrE1981]

Gross.

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

This song is pretty much all about the guitar work for me, the drumming is pretty bland.

[@drunkgamer273]

Record yourself playing this song on the drums. Come back when you understand better

[@thereaper7682]

Floppy drummer

[@drunkgamer273]

Ahh another person who thinks they are better. Don't leave comments to be a shit because you think you are cool and maybe your friends will like you. This is a great drummer and deserves respect for his art. What do you got?
