Dimmu Borgir - Kings of The Carnival Creation DRUMS 

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 RU-vid. Fucking intense.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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/

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

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

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

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

You make this look effortless, man, amazing stuff.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

10 years of this outstanding drum cover.

When dimmu borgir was making music. Great cover!

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

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

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! 👍

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.

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

I regularly come back and watch this

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)

Sublime, great job!

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! ;)

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!

yeh nicholas barker is a god!!

I love that song. Good job

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.

Love the snare sound.

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

By the way, epic new intro+outro :)
