It's not just because he's a badass drummer from one of my favorite bands growing up, but Nicko just seems like a truly decent and fun guy to be around.
yes overplying is a nightmare, the less notes the better, double base is shit unless u can use inteligently like Ian Mosley from Marillion anothe great drummer
What an absolute god.. He's so happy and so into just playing the drums. Dosen't matter how big the kit is, what he's missing, he makes it fucking work, and he is just so full of passion. We Maiden fans are so fucking lucky to have him behind the skins. God Bless you, Nicko.
I may have lots of bias here, because Maiden has been my favorite band for 3 decades, but Nicko is absolutely one of the best drummers in music period.
Quién putas pone dislike al maestro de maestros, es un grande y a pesar que está acostumbrado a tener una amplia batería sabe acomodarse con lo que hay de momento y no pierde en nada su esencia!
i love niko s drumming......up the irons......i grow up with iron maiden......and i will die with irons......up iron maiden from italy......i still listen in 2021........wow!!!!
yr got ta luv Mr Nick X,Yr lucky he lives yr way,,But he has done a couple gigs our way,Olly Twist,now closed,Colchester Essex,Bell inn in thourpe Essex,England,,Im a drummer,He was fun to meet,Good on yr Nick,No way he would move back to North London,,And BIG respect to the rest of the band,was TOPS ALL ROUND,,,
My mom is 80 years old and after hearing IRON MAIDEN for so long she now goes to town on the drums I actually didn't know she had it in her I'm one proud daughter
Que técnica de Nicko, no hay video en el que no me deje boquiabierto. Cada video usa técnicas increíbles y es un baterista impredecible y que sale siempre de lo monótono. Sin duda alguna de los más grandes barristas del heavy metal .¡
5:36 Observando loa detalles y esas especies de relleno que pone, a parte de los Fills, y el mismo swing que lleva, son inbreibles los cortes que hace, el hace todo lo correcto hacia en destiempo, un verdadero Genio de la bateria, buen guarro, punzante y equilibrado. Asombroso batero.
it was amaaaazing! Did you get to meet him? He was so nice...dunno how he handles being swarmed by people like that and is actually nice and chirpy with everyone. What a great guy!
@@katdbass Yes! I met him, but I could talk to him a very little... because another fan approached. Well, he was a little distant when I approached, there weren't others people. Anyway, he was gentile. Nice experience!
Incredible Drumming :) What is the first Song with Nicko on Drums? Anybody know the exact cymbal setup from this show? The Ride Cymbals sounds very good.
Je zde nějaká možnost na jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttube, aby se mě již toto video neukazovalo, tedy nejenom tohle, je jich už ux 10000.
Listened to that part again for a few times and as a drummer I'm 100% positive that the supposed Lombardo speed bass drumming is the bassist. You can't really hear the bass drum at that point but look at the speed Nicko's leg. It's either single strokes at speed of his leg is mowing or double strokes which of course would have to be more gallopy.
@@villesalonen6057 As a musician I can tell the difference between drums and bass too thank you. At 8:16 the bass fades away and you can hear the drums at the same speed I was talking about.
It was open to anyone who wanted to stand by the back of the stage. It was just a small space where the tent was open. And no, that was not me who said that.
You guys like Iron Maiden right? I've got a couple of covers. Up the Irons! 🔥🎸bit.ly/2L7rYaw
Fine efforts,!
oh yea nico,is bomb
Nice a coverband with the REAL drummer. Up the Irons Dudes ..and dudettes. 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻
I would honestly faint if I saw the legend himself play drums live. Nicko is the greatest drummers on earth, no question
great guy!
I could watch Nicko play for hours. What a drumming legend.
It's not just because he's a badass drummer from one of my favorite bands growing up, but Nicko just seems like a truly decent and fun guy to be around.
cajun812 yes!!!!!
I met him at several Drummer Workshops in the 90's, he is an awesome Guy! It was a Pleasure, talk to him...
I can totally agree. He is amazing and so down to earth to talk to.
Intelligent drumming, great time, solid control, musical fills, and playing the song without overplaying. Who could ask more of a drummer?😀👍
and down to earth! the guy is amazing!
Exactly this! Top comment!
yes overplying is a nightmare, the less notes the better, double base is shit unless u can use inteligently like Ian Mosley from Marillion anothe great drummer
He is so calm and effortless. Other metal drummers look like they’re struggling. It almost like he is out for a walk with his dog.
All in the wrist
Nicko didn’t put any less into it than when Maiden is doing a stadium. Because he’s an awesome bastard.
Nearly 70 years old & still one of the best EVER!
james burns 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
66
65 here actually, born 1952.
But yes watching this in 2020, he's 68 years old.

Give him only one drum - he will rock it !
Nicko, seems like a genuine nice guy that loves everything about music and playing.
His control is scary good. That level of playing can only come from years and years of playing. Extremely tasteful playing...
I love watching these videos of Nicko playing live .. my fav Drummer ... !!
I love this guy. Still great inspiration after all these years.
:) he's awesome
Nicko never plays the same kind, every single video that I saw before never. But it always good to see.
he's very precise, great chops and always right in the pocket, most upsetting, he makes it look so easy....LOL
my favourite rock drummer
he just really loves what he does...and it's contagious!
Nicko is a fuckin amazing drummer...bring his best no matter what environment he is in ... love Nicko !
I may have lots of bias here, because Maiden has been my favorite band for 3 decades, but Nicko is absolutely one of the best drummers in music period.
I agree!
Of course
Oh you're not biased, you are absolutely 💯 correct.

Wow Nicko totally got into jamming with guys, just like his concert performances, pretty good indication these guys do awesome Maiden covers 👏👏👏
🔥👿Nicko is King🥁🌟🌟🌟
No words! Great, the one, Nicko!
Nicko is the greatest drummer ever !! No doubt. Debate over !!

Nicko um ET . Não existe um baterista melhor que ele,e ainda mais com essa simpatia
I agree! He's one of the best!
Nicko is a legend and probably one of the best guys in the world to have some beers with !!!!!
indeed!
The best heavy metal drummer.
Grande, gigante Nicko...

totalmente! Y toca con una facilidad y tranquilidad!
Yo creo que es bueno hasta con unas latas de detergente, es increible.
@@katdbass Échale un vistazo a este otro, Jonathan Moffett, es el Batería de Michael Jackson, es un metrónomo ya lo veras.
That kit sounds bloody amazing

Nicky makes playin so effortless. In my opinion he os the GOAT for drummer. That much energy night night as Maiden show. He is remarkable ❤
I was there!!! The happiest day of my life!!!
it was amaaaazing! Did you get to meet him? He was so nice...dunno how he handles being swarmed by people like that and is actually nice and chirpy with everyone. What a great guy!

Amazing he's always played a single bass.
great drum sound..
Maiden in Texas1month 4 days! Cant hardly wait! Up those Irons !
lucky you!
Excellent drummer, indeed in the lead.
yes!
How can’t not love watching play! He has so much fun!
Fantastic view , must have been great to meet him !!
It was definitely awesome!
Nicko one of the best
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😅🎵🎶 Nicko Fenômeno!!!! Melhor do mundo! ❤️👆🇧🇷Continua lindo!
Very Very Nice Video my friend...Nicko Forever
thanks!!! he is amazing!
thanks for sharing this
Es el maestro mas humilde e increíble q e visitó eres el mejor
es verdad! una gran persona
If he’s got him s 184 piece kit or a 24 piece kit, he still rocks it !!
YES

Executa fácil d+++ naturalmente PERFEITO
sim!
Ese es mi Nicko!! Echándole huevos en cualquier circunstancia 👏👏👏👏 saludos desde Neza, CDMX.
Love Nicko, is divine
Best n melodious drummer
Nic mic...
yes!
Great man
Mate's a legend. Plays drums incredibly, plus needs a good ol' milkshake next to him and needs to wear his pyjamas. Nicko kills it.
Rock solid chops with signature style, just the best in the business. That's why Maiden chose him. He's actually overqualified for the job.
EXCELENT NICO TOTAL RELAX PLAYING HEAVY A BIG DRUMMEN
he does look very relaxed!
Great player. Great person.
Agreed!
Imagine singing/playing in a cover band with the legend himself.
one could only wish!
The god i believe in is called "Nicko McBrain" .
thanks for sharing Catalina!
my pleasure!
Going see them the 14th in l a Los angels ca it's going to be epic there a very tight band
What does Nicko do when not touring, recording and being generally in Maiden? Oh yeah plays iron maiden with friends and strangers!! Up the irons!
He's the man!
Sou fan desse cara muita teknica
Awesome as ever Nicko🤘
Hey qué curioso, alguna vez te conocí en Medellín, espero que te esté yendo muy bien en tus proyectos
Hola Daniel! Tengo mala memoria! Pero muy probable! Si todo va muy bien, mucho trabajo y mucha música. Te cuidas
Mestre 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the basist look :) Is that Nicko?!!!!
it is
Nicko doesn’t disappoint. How about a blues maiden album?
Nicko drums hero..
Hats off to the singer! Tough covering Bruce.
this band does a SPLENDID job. they are pros!
Does anyone know which ride cymbal is that? Seems to be a 2002 series from paiste...but which one exactly? Can't see..
Je zde nějaká možnost na jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttube, aby se mě již toto video neukazovalo, tedy nejenom tohle, je jich už ux 10000.
great video!! Quick one, why is he using the sticks the other way around?
No clue.
i love that paiste 2002 ride
el mejor el gran Nicko
8:10 did he just match Lombardo with only his right foot? daaamn xD
he's amazing!
More than likely.
Sounds like bass to me.

3:15.". the Epic; "Our drummer plays that different" look
On this at least the audience can see him
and talk to him!!! he made time to say to almost everybody...what a great guy
Eres el mejor nicko
cool, the video starts with the who... I love john entwistle's bass lines... How about a bass cover?
Ohhh that's a hard one! He was one of the greats. I would have to study really hard! Any songs that come to mind?
@@katdbass yeah, John Entwistle rocks! let me see... Could be Who Are You (?)
legend-
Maestrisimo!
Absolutamente!
4.42-4.45'' awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mestre
yes!
Nicko é o John Bonhan da nossa geração! Abusa das tercinas e tem muita técnica!
💝
every "musicians" that think they are great should watch this and cry and say " why I am so egomaniac???"
0:59 got to admit that was a cool fill
Are only certain people allowed back behind Nicko? I noticed you told the woman to back off during Blood Brothers. Is that for security reasons?
It was open to anyone who wanted to stand by the back of the stage. It was just a small space where the tent was open. And no, that was not me who said that.
@@katdbass oh good to know. I thought it was you
