I'm watching this 7 months later you've uploaded, Nick. I'm very happy you share this thing and you're playing now on tour with Mr. Big. Pat is a big inspiration for me. Not too many people know he played Speed Metal on the first Impellitteri's album, simply brilliant. God bless his memory. Thanks again for this Nick. ♥️
CONGRATULATIONS !!!! PROF VIRGILIO.. WOW.. THIS IS AWESOME.. wow wow... wow..amazing.. u r a blessing... Mr Big is Blessed.. and Pat Torpey is at peace and smiling from the heavens.. God bless u .. Long live Mr Big..
I am hoping you are going to be the new drummer for Mr. Big Nick. Your harmonies would be brilliant too 🥁😁👍 Love your drumming. Pat was one of my favourite drummers, awesome player.
Its good to see how much work you have put into playing like Pat. I bet the boys really appreciate it! I think its really good how you are honnering his momory like the band want to, its very nice to see. You are more than just a man to keep a beat at the back of the band doing what you have done! We all know you are your own drummer, but for this tour this is your job and i have seen some Japan shows and it is sounding very good! Keep up the excellent work Nick, I might get to meet you on the uk leg of the tour. xx
Pat is one of the all-time great rock drummers, and definitely one of my favorites. He also seemed like a super-nice guy. He even responded to a random e-mail that I sent him years ago, and was extremely gracious. Thanks so much for highlighting his great drumming in this video.
Saw NDV with Mr. Big last night in Nashville. Obviously it really sucks that Pat’s gone. However Nick nailed it, not surprisingly. Such a magical connection in that band. Billy and Paul… insane chemistry. Haven’t seen them since the Bump Ahead tour. Bummer that it’s ending. Nick, talk them out of it!!
Nick, great breakdown of some awesome Mr. Big tunes..one of my favorite melodic rock albums of all time! Can't wait to see you in 24' on the U.S. tour dates. You are a great musician & addition to the band to replace the late great Pat Torpey!
So excited to hear the respect you have for Pat after hearing that you got the Mr. Big gig 🎩 Really looking forward to seeing you with the band in Glasgow in 2024 (so hoping the band play where they have before!!). 👍 👍
I like when you played live with fates warning...you intepreted Mark zonder's groove ..in your way....can you give some groove from that band....thanks..
Happy New Year Nick from London, Ontario! Great channel. BTW, I just watched your talk through of The Underfall Yard on the Passengers Club and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks!!
Nick, so great to see you talk about Pat Torpey. I was a fan of his playing. Gone much too soon. Did they tap you for the drum chair for their upcoming shows? Also, what throne is that in this video? Looks cozy.
Three of my favourite Mr. Big tunes. I had not realized that in Take Cover, the ride/bell was playing the same pattern as previously played on the bass tom.
Thank you for sharing Pat's killer beats, such a huge inspiration for me
For me too! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for highlighting the great Pat Torpey. One of the greatest of that genre.
He totally rocked! Thank you Chad!
Nick I'm so happy for you playing with Mr. Big!!! i Love both Mr. Big and you, this is going to be an epic tour!! Keep rocking!!!
Than goodness for Nick.
New Mr. Big drummer! Awesome!
Pat, what an amazing drummer and so inspirational, one of my all time favs. I wish I could play like him.
Love Pat's playing and creativity. I'm sure you will love sitting in Pat's throne, keeping the rhythm going strong for Mr. Big.
Congratulations Nick.

Happy new year Rob! Thank you for watching
Asking again for some Stewart Copeland grooves
On the way soon Raz. I'm working on it. Playing Stewart Copeland grooves are tough. He's got a totally unique style. Thank you!
Nick, so great to see you talk about Pat Torpey. I was a fan of his playing.
Gone much too soon. Did they tap you for the drum chair for their upcoming shows?
Also, what throne is that in this video? Looks cozy.
I think he's using the Porter & Davies throne.
Yes, that indeed is a Porter and Davies drum throne. They are the best! Thanks for watching!
@@NDVirgilio aside from the obvious "kick" when it's hooked up, is it comfortable?
and now NDV is part of last MR.Big Tour..
Take Cover sounds a lot like the beginning of Spreading the Disease by Queensryche
Three of my favourite Mr. Big tunes. I had not realized that in Take Cover, the ride/bell was playing the same pattern as previously played on the bass tom.
Thanks for watching Scott!
I heard the news today oh boy......
What snare is that you are using my lord. Sounds like a shotgun!
