Be sure to follow Nick, he's going to be raffling off some amazing drum and promotional gear that he's accumulated over the years.
I was able to interview the absolute legend himself-Nicholas Barker.
We talk about tons of things here, from his days in Cradle of Filth, the differences playing in Dimmu Borgir, various side-projects, and also why he plays Paiste Cymbals, Sonor Drums.
Also chat about drum technique, double bass pedals, how Nick approaches the drums and a lot, lot more.
Enjoy the interview with this absolute mad lad of a drummer!
