Former MEGADETH Drummer Nick Menza Dead At Age 51

A sad news came from the former Megadeth drummer, Nick Menza, who was reportedly had heart failure while performing onstage with his current band Ohm at LA club The Baked Potato.

His death was confirmed in a post written by his friend Allen Hall, which was shared on Menza's official Facebook page.

Dave Mustaine, the Megadeth frontman tweeted this a moment ago.

Even Dave Mustaine‘s son, Justis, posted a status on his Facebook page, saying “Rest In Peace Nick Menza”, but we will probably have more details about this soon.

Menza featured on four of Megadeth's albums – Rust In Peace (1990), Countdown To Extinction (1992), Youthanasia (1994) and Cryptic Writings (1997).

Rest in peace Nick Menza.

Cobus Potgieter - Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim (Drums Only Version)

Another stripped down cover from the brilliant Cobus Potgieter with Avenged Sevenfold drums cover.



By Cobus Potgieter

This is the drums-only version of this cover

I got access to the drumless version of this track, which gave me so much more freedom with the mix. Also used a deeper and lower-tuned snare for this one (Neil Peart's Snake & Arrows snare) which I think sounds absolutely immense. Very proud of the way this mix turned out!

Just a quick note on the mix, because I think many may be thinking this: yes, the mix is incredibly aggressive and also over-compressed. Hearing the drum mix by itself will actually give you a very good idea what it takes to mix an additional layer of drums (mine!) into an existing and, essentially, finished song:

Kick, snare and toms, are LOUD and especially articulate. The mix is also very bright. This coupled with a slight high-pass filter on the track underneath immediately makes my drums pop out more, and without this approach my drum mix would be drowned out by the already loudly mastered version of the original track. My goal is to get the track underneath as loud as possible (for full immersion) while still hearing every note I am playing on the drums. Tricky balance, and very subjective!

Stoked to make these drums-only mixes and videos available to you guys! It should make some things a bit clearer.

And below is the drum cover with the song music:

Eloy Casagrande of Sepultura started playing drums since he was just a kid.

Eloy Casagrande is currently the latest Sepultura drummer. He replaced Jean Dolabella who left the band in November 2011. But, how well he plays? it's been since he was very young. He actually started playing when he was 7.

In 2004, at age 13, he was the big winner of the Batuka International Drummer Fest, sponsored by Vera Figueiredo. Soon, after the contest, Casagrande also won Modern Drummer's Undiscovered Drummer Contest 2006

The video below taken from Modern Drummer Festival 2005. Back then, he was just 14. Check it out.
