27 Nine Inch Nails - Closer - Drum Cover 

That snare tone is godly

People, if you want to know when the mean "Musical Drummer" here's the greatest example. An intuitive, smart drummer that adapts to the song and serves it.

00:00 me: poker face 01:00 : slightly smiling 02:00 smiling and singing along 03:00 dancing 04:00 - ownward: head banging

I can tell you're a big NIN fan by the way you utilize those 4 snare fills at the end of some measures. Fucking top notch, excellent work. If Ilan Rubin ever retires from NIN, I hope you get a phone call.

Those changes from 3:25 onwards up to that sick ass fill at 3:44 had me tripping balls, you must be from another universe man

I like how the beat gets more complex as the song goes, all the changes. i keep coming back to watch again. better than the original i think.

Love how you start off matching the drum machine and gradually introduce your own new layers, it feels right for how NIN builds dynamics in a lot of their tracks, build from minimal up to gorgeously complex

This should at least have 1,000,000 views.

Every cover you have done has been technically perfect - but I felt this one. I can see you getting into as well. Superb job.

Is this the same guy who reveals all the magic tricks?

This is literally the 10th time I’ve watched this video… and I’m still amazed at how amazing this cover is especially the breakdown omg

Goosebumps. Holy fuck this rocks.

The build up at the end has always been my favorite part. They way you drummed it out was amazing. I love your NIN covers. Nine Inch Nails is my #1 favorite band ever!

The world needs you now more than ever Delta.

This guy's fuggin good !

Come on dude you are bad ass, excellent stuff ... Great music choice.. never take the mask off it gives you the edge ...

Hydrating the dry grasslands of sonic imagination one cover at a time.

You fucking killed it. New NIN drummer right here

So glad this dude recognizes the end of the song goes wild. Deeply tired of so many covers hitting the first half and apparently not knowing the last half exists.

Man this guy is a true beast! Best drumming I’ve seen in a long time. True talent !

That is the best sounding kit I've ever heard. God damn

How is it possible I like EVERYTHNG Delta drums to? Because he's THAT freaking good.... that's why!

It's official... I'm quitting my job just so I can stay at home and watch this dude play all day!!

So I watch drum videos on RU-vid a lot. A lot. Techniques, grooves, studying the greats like Steve Gadd and Collaiuta and Bernard Purdy et al, and covers like this stuff. Got brought to your channel by a Tool cover. I was pretty impressed. Watched a couple more (Pantera’s “Regular People” and Incubus’ “The Warmth”) and was incredibly impressed. At that point, I was ready to call it a day and move on to other things. I accidentally clicked on this while finishing the Incubus song and decided I’d stick around since it had been so long since I’d heard the song. A classic. But I wasn’t sure what would really be so noteworthy about this song from a drumming perspective. So I was curious. And I thought your playing was exceptionally good on the first few tracks of yours I’d heard. So I decided, “yeah, I’m gonna do this. If he doesn’t fuck it up (which he won’t), I’ll still be listening to a great tune and watching more of this beautiful drum set. Let’s see what he does....” Buddy, your playing on this blew me right the fuck away. Period. I might have tuned into your videos whenever they popped up on my feed or whatever. After hearing this, they’ll hopefully pop up often because I just subscribed. You have gained another true fan by what you did here! So tasty, so classy, so perfect! I once heard Rodney Holmes described as a drummer who somehow plays every song the way it was meant to be played. He’s a great drummer and all, but I think that description would be far better applied to you. It was perfection! Thank you!

OMG!!! As a die hard NIN fan, I absolutely love this! Great job.

Jesus! That improv part was beyond fucking tight! You're easily at the top of my list of drummers that I can watch who put their talents on RU-vid!

genuinely one of the best things i’ve ever watched

That DW Mapa Burl kit is absolutely gorgeous and its tonal qualities are phenomenal. Definitely one of my dream DW kits.

Amazing technic and skill.

This literally might be one of the best drum “covers” I have ever seen. Fuck.

Nice done bro I literally got chills

One of the best drum solos I've ever seen!!! 🤟❤️🤔😎

Beautiful off time control.

Of course his greatest trick yet to be revealed is how he manages to make this look easy.

Who is this guy? About the most passion on drums ive ever seen.

If Friedrich Nietzsche played the drums that’d be it.... Übermensch! This is a whole mind-boggling experience... minchia che batterista!

You are amazing. I am really loving the industrial/ techno covers and how you implement live drumming to those types of songs. Awesome!

Better than the original. Pleasing on the ears and eyes. You make it look easy.

Insane cover

One of my all time favorite songs. You make me so jealous. You make it look so easy and fun!

his tuning is great, thick snare, deep yet articulate toms, even with pinstripes :). i know there is mics,triggers but still

Un monstruo !! Un animal !! 🙆🏻‍♂️👏

You rock this song so hard

What i love about your videos is that youre beyond playing the songs the right way and youre into making them great. Idk if that makes sense but thats how i see it. Youre feeling it. Groovin on it.

If you were to pick apart any NIN song you would see true technique and absolute genius. I grew up listening to Trent's work and it has always been overlooked from a creative standpoint. Maybe one day the world will truly appreciate Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross's contribution.

5-18-2020: IF I could cover one Delta cover....this is the one. Holy fuck, IN the pocket. Meaty. EXCELLENT mix.

What a treat...🤟

Christ almighty. To spend a week or 12 learning from you!🙌🏻 sign me up!! Stellar mixup!❤️

Gooodddam!! What a cover! This guy's pro status.

Really like that snare

A sharp clean Delta drummer is so much better than the digital versions.

Beautiful Agony.... 🤟😎❤️

Magnifaïque!

thats f***ed up and awesome at the same time

great cover. seems very much inspired by the inventive attitude that NIN can take to rearranging songs for tour, especially during the With Teath tours. It's like if Jerome Dillon was told to play out and add everything that came to his brain. great stuff

Damn It Son ... You're going to break a stick.

Jesus. So good

Should break into other RU-vid drummers houses just to make videos on their kits.

Masterfully done.

Beating those skins like they owe you money..1 song at a time. Well done man!!

I watch a lot of his videos. This dude is equally talented as kratos from God of war. Masterpiece

You're just so fucking smooth my friend. Thanks for this cover.

Dude - Love your playing I've been watching your vids for like 40 mins now - You're crushing it

Special thanx for nin cover!!! One of the interesting bands ever with not simple drum section

Crisp,on point with the timing, GiVE IT UP, Crazy fucker , you play all the hard timing shit , multiple changes in the music, BAD ASS , DELTA !!!!!!

Love the combination in this cover 🖤

It reminds me of those "what drummers think is hard vs what is actually hard" videos

Beautiful drum set!🖤🖤 and a bad ass drummer!🖤🔥🔥

Really love how you have the bass drum mic’d in this. Great stuff

Beautiful kit

Damn Delta!!!🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

If I could like a video twice, I would ... wow, I found you a few weeks ago and have been burning through your videos. This one though - special place in my heart for what you did here. Took my favorite band of all time to a whole new level. Excellent chops!!!

Just WOW, that was insanely good

Wow your wrist action is amazing on the ride cymbal on this one! We love your music selection!

Magnificent!

Nice sound good timing 👏👏

Words will only cheapen what you have done. So, I will simply say, wonderful.

Always a pleasure to see you play ! So much energy 👍

Amazing

Grandissimo i miei complimenti più grandi!!!

Speechless!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just awesome

For me you're the best drummer on RU-vid...love all your videos.

Immensely satisfying to watch. Can only imagine how satisfying it is to play

Bad ass drumming !

I mean brutal. That’ll never get old bro

Amazing, there are no words to describe how badass you are! Listen to you as much as possible!

Flawless as usual.

That ending is not a joke!

One bad ass drummer...that's all I can say no matter what the Delta Empire..puts out keep it up man most ..dream of playing like you do....I enjoy watching on learn

Your video editing is also top notch.

Trent reznor should hire you

NIN 🖤🤟

That wakes the song up a lot even with tour versions considered

Very tight playing, it's safe to say... you nailed it!

Love this!

Badass!

Kylo Ren...(?) YOU ARE AN AMAZING DRUMMER!!!! I love this video!

at 3:25 he 's tired of the drum machines and triggers. I got it from here boys. AWESOME!!

I dont even kno what to say... I am amazed!
