How do you NOT fucking love this guy? I could sit and listen to Nicko talk for hours..dude is so hilarious and so damn happy. One of the true unrecognized greats..people don’t give him nearly the credit he’s earned or deserves. And at 70? Brother plays harder and with more passion than kids half his age. And he loves what he does..rock on Nick
I like him very much and I think he is wether underrated nor undercredited. He gets a lot of love ❤️ by his fans. The only thing which I don’t like is how he treated SONOR. How he left SONOR, who supported him very well for many years was shabby.
Peter Chris, and Nicko are the reason I have been playing drums for 30+ years. Pete lit the fire but Nicko was the gasoline that has kept me burning. So, Thank you Nicko for all of the AMAZING music you have created and the inspiration you have gifted to me. A true drum living legend. And a hell of a nice guy !!!!! 🤘UP THE IRONS🤘
@@TonyMontana-mj6ec - **Mrs. Toni Mantino32** - WRONG!!!!! Your SLAYER once stated this, that, *"Our band will NEVER open for another band."* - Do your reseasch, Pilgrim. They were more than happy to open for Maiden during their 2000 tour of the UK. They acted like fucking little children (in the playground) to be touring with them thoughout Europe! - PUNK! - You're owned.
It’s very noticeable if you listen to Senjutsu songs and then Book Of Souls songs, the drums are soooo much crisper and really cut through on Senjutsu. Nicko is right, a high quality kit and high quality mics absolutely help, but the guy who is responsible for getting that sound from the kit to our ears is the most important piece of the puzzle (we already know the drummer is of the highest quality, that goes without saying).
When I heard "Where Eagles Dare" for the first time back in '85, I thought Nicko was the best drummer I'd ever heard. And he's just as good - if not even better - now, in 2022. Amazing! Nicko is not only a great drummer, but he also comes across as one of the nicest guys you've ever met. I'm loving these videos...keep up the good work!
I could listen to Nicko talk all day. You'll never be bored when Nicko is talking. What a character. lol I can definitely hear the difference in Maiden's live sound since Pooch came on board. Pooch was a great addition to the Maiden family. I am not a musician but I love seeing the backstage videos, the guitar/bass rigs, the drum setups, the sound system etc for Iron Maiden. Will admit that I don't understand most of what they are saying but is still great to hear the attention to details..
"Doctor Doctor" starts... Our energy level - ⬆️⬆️⬆️ 😆 May all go really well until the end of the tour. It was great seeing you and the boys again Nicko!!!
Great job Nicko! 👏 🤘 Can't f'n wait to see you October 11th 2022 in Toronto 🇨🇦!!! Stay Safe and enjoy the rest and the amazing tour! IRON MAIDEN 4EVER 🤘💯🔥🤘
We love U Nick!!! Thanks for all these years with Maiden!!!.As a drummer myself you will always be an inspiration and true hero for me! Your legacy will never be forgotten!! I'm so grateful that I was able to see you performing live with Maiden in the Legacy of the beast tour on 2019, Barclay Center Brooklyn NYC!
Me too! I was lucky enough to meet Nicko 25 Years ago at the Frankfurt Music Fair, playing with his blues band at the Marshall booth on a tiny kit, playing, laughing, telling jokes all the time, shaking hands, beeing just a funny guy, not a Rock Star! I´ll never forget that hours! Thank you Nicko!
I've used black resonate heads since I saw Nicko's grey somewhere in time kit , if you have more than two toms on your kit adding black resonate heads gives the kit such a classy look .
I noticed within the last few years Maiden was able to get one of the best drum kit sounds I have ever heard. Deep thunderous tom toms but very articulate and controlled.
The energy, the honesty and the humbleness of Nicko is just amazing. You can see the way he talks to us, the fact that he praises everyone, from his helper to the camera and video editor. We can just love Nicko and thank him for being him and for making this video. And about the technical part, Pooch is really amazing, and so precise. And what a dream, to work with this level of musician and hear "You decide, it's your tapestry." Learned a lot, love it. Time itself will let Nicko be alive and playing for so much more years! Even it love the Iron Maiden too!
my favorite legendary band one of the best of the world artists magistral iron maiden & nicko greatest playing drummers. love great best band favorite iron maiden. thank you guys iron maiden & nicko greatest playing best drummers ever the true heavy metal forever 🤘🎸
This is the longest conversation between 2 people that I had no idea what they were talking about but was tuned in like a hawk. A Niko podcast with anyone would bring joy to my life like no other.
Nicko and the whole band and crew that work so hard ALL THESE YEARS have given us so much amazing music it is a crime that we never hear it on the radio. Simply a crime, boys and girls! Maiden ROCKS.
I've been lucky enough to photograph Iron Maiden shows 4 times, and out of those four times, I believe I have one (lousy) photo of Nicko. I love absolutely everything about what he does and the kits he uses except for the fact that I simply haven't been able to dig him out of there with my lenses.
Discovering Maiden and Nicko in 86 completely changed my life. Here we are in 2022 and they and their crew are still on fire with passion for what they do.
8:38 "...quite an expensive microphone actually..." - DPA 4099s are about £560 / $680 each with the drum mount. And Nicko has about 10 on his kit I think? Nothing but the best for the best drummer and the best band in the world.
It would be great to see something like this, but with guitars (e.g., how they're miked, EQ'd, compressed, etc.). Thank you, Nicko and Pooch, for sharing your knowledge with us. I am sure drummers around the world will take inspiration from your words of wisdom.
@@latentsea Yes, but Maiden's rig (e.g., Adrian's rig) has changed over the years (he currently uses JVM410Hs). Plus, it would be nice to hear their thoughts on best ways to mike the amps and whatever else they do in the signal chain to get that more old-school tone. Just the topic of miking the guitar cabs could be the subject of a whole episode.
Nicko, si entendieras un poco espanol, no te das una idea de lo que te queremos en todas partes de latinoamerica, soy baterista gracias a tus drum cams en los 2000, la musica de Iron Maiden quedara por siempre en nuestra memoria y ver como de a poco y con mucha tristeza se acerca el final es algo que no me gusta pensar! por eso seguiré escuchando y viéndote tocar para seguir aprendiendo!!!! love you Nickoooo!!!!
Gotta love Pooch. Great engineer. I watch his channel too. And Nicko is just amazing on the kit with a great sense of humor. He cracks me up all the time with these videos. Love the kit.
Two of the coolest people on the planet. I’m not a huge Iron Maiden fan, although I do like some of their stuff and respect the heck out of them, but I’d love to tour with them because it seems like their whole organization is filled with good people all the way around. Pooch’s pandemic podcasts definitely made me better.
Nicko was the last band member left at the Denver show tossing stuff out to the fans with a big smile on his face, seems like a really cool dude we gave him his own standung O ") Rock on!!!
1 of the happiest drummers in the World,just loves that he calls us fans "boys & girls" & his drums and symbols "This little baby". AND,he is a very good friend with our entertainer Lasse Berghagen,they met while playing golf, 10-15 yrs ago,when Maiden had a day off in Sweden. Hugs & up the Irons from Stockholm,Sweden .-)
I wish those that listen to rap and hip hop would listen and learn what it takes to establish real sounds. Real music. I hope nicko keeps it up for a few more years. The great drummers of yester years are few and I really miss them. Up the irons!
Thanks for sharing this with us Nick & the Maiden crew, highly appreciated! It'd be cool if you in the future could do the same with the guitar & bass techs as well, and perhaps with the tech who does Bruce's onstage monitoring as well! 👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿
My pride and joys are one of Nicko's drumsticks I caught on their somewhere in time tour mid 80's. And Nicko's backstage pass I won from when they played long beach arena where they recorded live after death .
Great to hear about the microphone choices and placement, and why they have chosen the mics they are using. I've been laughed at for mic'ing up a ride cymbal like that, but it works REALLY well.

You said it just right mate! Spot on!
Don't have to add anything. Thanks for your comment!🤙

he is humble too
I don't think there is a band in the world more powerful than Iron Maiden, it has always been like that !!!
It is, Slayer.

Nicko is not only a pro, he has also a big heart for the fans, especially for the fans of drumming. Keep on running, Sir, and stay healthy!!
Pooch is by far the best sound engineer Maiden have had. Sound on LOTB tour has been exceptional.
It’s very noticeable if you listen to Senjutsu songs and then Book Of Souls songs, the drums are soooo much crisper and really cut through on Senjutsu. Nicko is right, a high quality kit and high quality mics absolutely help, but the guy who is responsible for getting that sound from the kit to our ears is the most important piece of the puzzle (we already know the drummer is of the highest quality, that goes without saying).
@@CoffeeMatt10 Pooch is their live sound engineer. Not in studio
They’ve only had a couple over the decades. Doug was really good too but I admit Pooch is the G.O.A.T
All the guys in Iron Maiden seem like they be awesome fishing buddies and this guy I think would be my favorite.
When I heard "Where Eagles Dare" for the first time back in '85, I thought Nicko was the best drummer I'd ever heard. And he's just as good - if not even better - now, in 2022. Amazing!

Having Nicko recite his whole pre-concert routine in that detail, shows what true professionalism is.

Not too long at all. I could listen to Nico all day long; and Pooch seems like a great guy too... very knowledgeable.
That 26 mins flew by as if it were only 10

Saw them in Barcelona last month (July '22). The sound was superb. Great great gig..
Nicko, always funny and honest. Always a pleasure to hear him talk about himself and the band. Lovely video.
Iron Maiden, Best Band of Heavy Metal in the World! 🤘🏻
Exactly
@@chromedahomiebiggestfanno1 Surely. In my ranks is right behind - Black Sabbath.
@@TonyMontana-mj6ec better
@@TonyMontana-mj6ec Ok now you’re making me think
@@alantinoalantonio Maybe for you. Black Sabbath will always be number one for me.
I was literally wearing those chef pants to the gym last friday! they were my signature when i was a cook
Nicko is one of the greatest and coolest
guys in the world...
Nicko is such a genuine bloke. I love his videos, and his drum sound is always mind blowing.
I noticed within the last few years Maiden was able to get one of the best drum kit sounds I have ever heard. Deep thunderous tom toms but very articulate and controlled.
beautiful battery, I love iron maiden!!
The craziest, most insane man, not in an institution. Never change Nicko. Oh and brilliant drummer also!
For producers like me, this is pure gold. A mic placement and philosophy masterclass.
As a corporate hack fraud lawyer who barely knows how to mulitply, the drum engineer seems like the Pamela Anderson of his game!
The energy, the honesty and the humbleness of Nicko is just amazing.
You can see the way he talks to us, the fact that he praises everyone, from his helper to the camera and video editor. We can just love Nicko and thank him for being him and for making this video.

Time itself will let Nicko be alive and playing for so much more years! Even it love the Iron Maiden too!
I love Nicko, he's one of the true greats 🤟🥁🇳🇿
I love NIcko's good humor and humility.....what a great guy. God bless him and all the guys in the band and crew...UP THE IRONS, baby!!
Thanks Nicko and Pooch for taking your time to show all of this! Thats awesome!
Pooch is amazing .....
I saw Maiden 2018 , phenomenal sound !!!
I'm a drummer , pooch loves drums !!

Remote Leica mounted on drum kit with 18mm rectilinear lens.
Pooch you're a bloody wizard. The best Iron Maiden sounded out of all the times I've seen them. Both Legacy tours sounded beyond amazing.
Nicko wearing British Lion T-shirt shows his great respect to his bandmate outside projects!!!
It's nice to see Nicko wearing a British lion t shirt , supporting Harry's other band , there's not many musicians who could do that.
Discovering Maiden and Nicko in 86 completely changed my life. Here we are in 2022 and they and their crew are still on fire with passion for what they do.
Nicko is the best heavy metal drummer ever.
I love Nicko! What an awesome bloke…. Always goofing about! I’d love to have a pint or 10 with him! 🤘
The sound of the band since Ken joined is the best I've ever heard them. Was very noticeable on the first tour he did with them.
The only and one Nicko Mcbrain UP THE IRONS!
Thank you for such detail in Part 3 - it’s was a joy and super insightful listening to the two of you speaking so passionately.
8:38 "...quite an expensive microphone actually..." - DPA 4099s are about £560 / $680 each with the drum mount. And Nicko has about 10 on his kit I think?
Nothing but the best for the best drummer and the best band in the world.
Sos un grande Nicko! Un fuerte abrazo desde mi amada Colombia!
First!
Always love to see the drum tours! Hope the tour is going well! Up the irons!!! 🤟
True
I just love this guy! He's funny. I missed him two times at his restaurant in Florida. Best Ribs restaurant!
The best and most loved band in the world! Keep up the amazing work and vids for us all!
That is so amazing. These two guys are so wonderful. Thanks for the little tour of the set Nicko and Pooch. Love it.
Awesome feelin out over the sound an dynamics. So important an to learn about thanks
one of the obly drummers that goes so far in depth with showing his drums absolutely awesome! see you in Detroit Nicko.
EPIC 🙌 love this 👌!!! All the members are Awesome

Why did you single out rap/hip hop? Literally anything that isn’t rock/metal falls into that category.
THERE'S A PART 3!!!!! Yayayayayay!
Great band simple life.. funny and incredible guys...
Up the irons!! 🤘
Awesome👏👏👏
Thank you so much For You Music✋️
So much love for this man! I am so sad I won't see him in Rock N Roll Ribs this year due to touring. But love you forever

Nice! My friend made an eddy mask and we went and rocked that Long Beach show right up front. All four nights! Good times!
Great to hear about the microphone choices and placement, and why they have chosen the mics they are using.
