This is absolutely unbelievable! He is like an absolute opposite of a rock star behavior. And he is a drummer one of the most famous metal bands on this planet. He is SUCH a man! Character others can only dream of.
I remember being at a drum clinic a few years back in London ( might have been Gerry Brown , but my memory might be playing tricks on me ) and there were a few technical problems with the PA system which held proceedings up a little. Anyway , Nicko was in the audience and he jumped up on stage and helped pass the time by doing an impromptu stand-up comedy routine . He was absolutely hilarious . Not sure what this has to do with the cymbal on review here , but hey 🤪
Noah Powell No, kid.. You're absolutely right.. I know nothing about metal drumming.. Thanks for pointing that out.. I've only played in progressive rock, prog metal and metal bands for 14 years of my 28 year career, then went on to more "mature" contemporary rock/pop, fusion, have played in RnB and soul/funk bands for another 12 of those 28 yrs, and now i'm moving forward to a more electro-fusion style of music.. So, yeah, you're right.. I know nothing of metal drumming.......LOL ! You're beyond ignorant for words. However, i think your idiocy is based on you misreading my comment.. Here it is in "baby English" for you, ok sport ?.. I respect the fact that Nicko uses a single pedal, INSTEAD of a double pedal, which MOST METAL drummers are using.. So, i'm saying that most metal drummers USE a DOUBLE PEDAL, rather than not, like Nicko.. So, NOW do you understand, or are you still trying to remove the bong from your skull..? LOL.. Time for bed kid..
I didn't misunderstand your comment at all. I didn't ask for the story of your career either, but thanks anyway. You took my comment too seriously. Next time, don't throw a tantrum over such a small thing said over the INTERNET. No one forced you to reply bud. I'll whip out the baby language next time. Have a nice day.
Always loved Nicko. That is a beaut of a cymbal! Iron Maiden forever - SCREEEEAM for Memphis Drum Shop - Screeeeam for me!! We are the Powerslave Ride Cymbal alriggggghhhhht!! David Curtis Drumming
I haven’t really listened to much Iron Maiden over the years but those guys rock. There aren’t that many legendary arena rock bands left. Iron Maiden, AC/DC, and a few others are it. Hats off to the older ass kickers of rock!
Haha every other drummer says exactly the same thing but nicko just always has a bit of energy and a bit of humour in him to make he such an awesome guy!!
where eagles dare! nicko makes it sound and look so effortlessly and im sitting here practicing this lick and slowly becoming insane while doing that :D
Gotta love this old fellow. Such a lovely nature.
Nicko, you're the best.
nailed it.
I love how you can hear the mumblings of a madman as he plays, basically humming the song to himself.
I do that to
hmit he sounds like the trololol guy
@@randobianco 💯% true.
i couldnt hear him over the sound of me doing the same thing
Yeah I love that about him too. If you pay close attention he's audible on a lot of Maiden's records too in the background 🙂

Most "rockstars" are this nice

When drum clinic? 2018?or2004?
I've always admired Nicko's use of a single pedal rather than double, which most, if not all metal drummers use..
You don't know anything about metal drumming, do you? Lol

@@noah._.powell 😐
Funny guy. Saw him years ago doing a clinic. Not only was his playing fantastic,he was hilarious!!
I love how he fires into Where eagles dare so effortlessly.
i could listen to this man talk about drums for hours
If someone were to narrate my life, it would be this man!
Nicko has the perfect voice for reading children's books
Ahh I love my daily dose of Nicko. Love this guy! :)
he's pretty good, if works hard and keeps practicing he might be as good as ben white one day.
Church of John Cobra ben white is a savage
LMAO 😂😂😂😂 BEN WHITE
Nicko has the best humor and yet humble at the same time
Just bought a pAisTe sound creation Bell Ride 22.
When it arrives I plan on playing LOTS of Iron Maiden tunes.
He doesn't make me laugh, but he makes me smile. Great drummer, great cymbal. Paiste makes some of the nicest cymbals.
Such a nice guy, a legendary drummer and he plays Paiste. I'm buying this ride one day.
Did you buy it?
@@ianbridges6040 nope, but I did get a pre-owned Signature 20" Power Ride instead. Suits me fine!
at 00:59 it looks like the hi-hat dropped its jaw from awe at Nicko's awesomeness.
OMG! I can't believe I had forgotten how much I love Nicko!
Gotta luv Nicko; A nutter with talent off the charts
One of the best ride cymbals out there .
NIcko, you are my hero, dude. Thanks for sharing, Memphis guys. See you one day ?!?
such a cool old man this nicko mcbrain. and the best metal drummer in the world.
Nicko is the man, great attitude, great role model, and a superb drummer without saying, nice ride cymbal by the way, lol
It's impossible to watch this video without laughing. Nick is such a cool guy! I hope to meet him someday.

Bloody good show there old chap😉
I want him to be a stand-up comedian.That'd be awesome.
Just the one in his snare hand. Gets more power and volume out of each snare strike.
The legend...
such a good salesman!
he should do all the vids!!
NICKO MCBRAIN!
So funny this Nicko McBrain.
By god! Nicko sounds like John Cleese!
@mysteryunited A lot of people do this for a more powerful snare sound. I used to not like this but now I prefer it.
i buy it yesterday ;-) i love that cymbal :-)
HAHAHA Nicko is the man!!
such a beast
@HenryTownsend123 yes, he always plays that way ...
he's so classy..
i think it has something to do with the sound. maybe it helps if you're just micing with a overhead
oh rock drummer!
SO FREAKIN TRUE
this guy seems awesome and really funny :D
Just rips into his first fill as the new Maiden drummer like he's walking the 🐕. No problem. Facken Nicko just cracks me up.
if anyone wants to know... thats the intro of "Where eagles dare" of Iron Maiden
♥
the faces he can make
I love it how He missed rimshot at 1:01 & at 1:14 & didnt even address it or 'Scream' out some obscenity like most big names woulda, only Nicko 👍
That's a good ol' chap!
geil!!!
laugh a lot!!
i've found my ride!
Are the drums covered because it would be an issue with Nicko's sponsorship?
THAT"S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!
Is the set covered because of his endorsement?
@shavethebravedave Nope. You can get the same model, but not the cymbal played and shown in this vid, thats what MDS is about.
