this vocal & drum performance is next level. Those vocal lines are HARD and the drums are incredible. Doing them at the same time? INSANITY. Nick is so good. Lawdy.
Gibberish is one of my favorite tunes from Spock’s Beard’s older catalogue. I’ve been looking for a good version of Nick playing it for a while, this is fantastic!! Especially hearing the “all that is shall be” harmonies, and the lead vocals which I wasn’t expecting!!
I'm ashamed that I didn't know about him well. I even thought he was just a guy from Sweetwater music shop who happened to be too good at drumming... He is awesome and truly talented musician. Respect.
Oh no 🤦♂️... Shame on you 😁. Just kidding. He is a real musician... Just listen for example, spock's beard, Genesis, d'virgilio Morse jennings, etc...etc... etc...
This man is still somehow underrated. Hope this one sheds some light. And such a PROFESSIONAL drummer. Read about him in Modern Drummer mags for years and so grateful for Nick. 🤘
It would be so nice if one of these days, Spock's Beard would do a reunion tour with the classic line-up playing songs like Gibberish, The Light, At The End Of The Day, In The Mouth Of Madness, Solitary Soul, etc...
I'm always blown away by Nick's musicianship. When I first saw his videos on youtube, I thought he was just some charismatic sales guy, but holy smokes is there a lot more to it than that! This video was great, thanks for sharing.
OMG I had no Idea Nick D Virgilio had music out there (just bought everything on Amazon) AND Spocks Beard?? My mind just melted I thought he was just an amazing instructor!
Nicks the man. With all the amazing drummers on RUclips, it was this fun and talented man who inspired me to play drums by watching him on Sweetwater drum videos. I just really liked his style. Still got it !!!
If you haven't heard his early work with Spock's Beard, GET TO IT!! Must Listen albums: " The Light" and my favorite, "Day for Night". He's also played with Kevin Gilbert (RIP) and the short-lived rock band, Toy Matinee. Nick is an amazing drummer and all-around incredibly talented musician. I hear he happens to be a top-notch human being, as well, kinda in the same spirit as Gregg Bisonette.
Holy fuck…. I’ve seen this guy all over the place in the RUclips drum sphere, and I’ve never seen him play. And he’s playing some tasteful stuff *WHILE SINGING!* Respect!
I was lucky enough to discover Nick and Spock's Beard in the late 90s, and I'm a big fan since then!! He's amazing. Look for Spocks Beard "Don't Try This at home" Live .
All of the people who claim that you're not a musician if you aren't performing full-time need to see this performance. The only band that came to this level live IMHO is Jardin Mécanique... progressive trio performing opera rock in Montreal city and around they're IMHO the absolute best cats I've seen in my life... but this man... underrated as hell. This deserves a Grammy, nuff said.
The man is a star. I must have watched this a dozen times in the last week.
Same bro, his style, his voice, his talent, just addictive.❤️🤘🏼
And he sings, too... Fantastic performance Nick
this vocal & drum performance is next level. Those vocal lines are HARD and the drums are incredible. Doing them at the same time? INSANITY. Nick is so good. Lawdy.
Wow! Very Gentle Giant! Great tune, great performance!
Fantastic performance! 👏👏👏
Jesus. What an absolute monster! Well done nick!!!
This is nothing. You should see him do this live with his old band Spock's Beard... it is amazing
@@TedSchoenling this is old, song comes from 4th studio album
Damn! So Nick does't only drum, but also sings and he's pretty freaking great at it!
Mind blown! 🤯

Nick is Amazing fusion drummer. His skill level is Elite.
It's always a pleasure to see Nick performing. He makes it seem so simple to chop and sing like that. Amazing!!
I'm ashamed that I didn't know about him well. I even thought he was just a guy from Sweetwater music shop who happened to be too good at drumming... He is awesome and truly talented musician. Respect.
He is a beast multi-instrumentalist and a great singer, with a long musical history.
I believe he played with Phil Collins
I had the exact same thought!
No seriously though, me too haha
Oh no 🤦♂️... Shame on you 😁. Just kidding. He is a real musician... Just listen for example, spock's beard, Genesis, d'virgilio Morse jennings, etc...etc... etc...
Honestly, one of my favorite drummers. Unbelievably precise, technically brilliant and owns the pocket like no other.
This man is still somehow underrated. Hope this one sheds some light. And such a PROFESSIONAL drummer. Read about him in Modern Drummer mags for years and so grateful for Nick. 🤘
You can visit Nick at sweet water.in fort Wayne Indiana.great guy and down to earth 🌎.oh and take a selfie with Nick .

Smokin!
Got a bit of a Gentle Giant feeling ...great performance :)
Yeah
Nick is NEXT LEVEL!!
Been listening to Spock beard for two decades now.glad you found him to.old Nick is a monster drummer.
It would be so nice if one of these days, Spock's Beard would do a reunion tour with the classic line-up playing songs like Gibberish, The Light, At The End Of The Day, In The Mouth Of Madness, Solitary Soul, etc...
Try this in the meantime ruclips.net/video/KezElj_X57k/видео.html
Not sure if you've seen it but at Morsefest 2016 they did the entire Snow album live! ruclips.net/video/KezElj_X57k/видео.html
Such a beautiful, flowing style of playing. Instantly recognizable, and one of my favorite underrated drummers.
I knew Nick was a great drummer, but knew nothing beyond that. WOW!!
Neal Morse the genius songwriter surrounded by incredible performers produced an amazing catalog of music. Thanks to all of them!
I'm always blown away by Nick's musicianship. When I first saw his videos on youtube, I thought he was just some charismatic sales guy, but holy smokes is there a lot more to it than that! This video was great, thanks for sharing.
Nick D'Vir-F***inggillio! My lord, what a phenomenal musician!
Bravo Nick, cheers from France.
How always, Nick is great.
I've been a fan for years. Great great drumming, always sounding and phrasing so clearly, and on top of that phenomenal singer!
Well you've got my attention NOW!
Nicely done. I like the gentle giant influence…
Spocks songs are timeless!
One of the world's best. Just brilliant.
GENIUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
OMG I had no Idea Nick D Virgilio had music out there (just bought everything on Amazon) AND Spocks Beard?? My mind just melted I thought he was just an amazing instructor!

Nick is a true professional musician, by all definitions. A great role model for any drummer, for sure. Thank you Drum Channel for this!
A monster, seriously. Amazing performance.
