Nick buddy..you are living the dream my friend...I appreciate all the product videos you do. I appreciate your talent. You help make the drumming community better

BBT is a refreshing breath of music... totally worth listening to their entire catalog!

Even though i cannot currently play due to health reasons, is beautiful to say (whenever i played live) and to hear how polite and considered we drummers are, i mean, the former statement involves every single instrument player or person, but in regards to the instrument i love, it is wonderful to see that the people who still carry the torch on the big and small stages still show apreciation for everyone who helps, plus everyone whos work still in the back of what we do. Thankful for all the content Nicholas D' posts; great musician, even better person.

Just watched Kevin Gilbert & Giraffe - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Live at Progfest 1994. Absolutely amazing drumming Nick. Hats off.

I’m watching this with a tear in my eye. 😢 I miss BBT

I can’t gig without my Porter and Davies throne anymore. I can’t even begin to describe the “emptiness” without it.

Did you get a bag of candy with that kit? Lol! Love you nick!

David longdon (rip) was a teacher at my college between 97-99, great bloke, awesome singer.

Big Big Train nowadays really is a magnificent Big Big prog rock act, with some of the best American, English and Swedish musicians!!

Nicks got a hell of a gig. What a opportunity. Awesome job with sweetwater. That’d be a job i’d wake up every morning for and feel accomplished. Selling and showcasing gear to musicians whole heatedly done the right way.

Loved that he changed brands (last time was Meinl + Sonor). I hope next time will be another brand combo :) (Tama + Istanbul Agop? Yamaha? Sabian?). It’s always a good showcase for the brands.

NDV literally does it all..from Spocks Beard to BBT to Sweetwater demos...Man does it all!

Love that Mapex Saturn III Silver Badge Kit at your place!

I didn't knew he played on a band, no wonder why he plays so good, but only better he is a great human being, im glad to see him doing great as always

Nick you are by far the best reviewer, no attitude player around.

Great video, up and close. Good of Nick and sweetwater to show viewers his live tour set up!!!

I like the fact that Nick had affordable gear on this tour.

Wishing you all the best on your tour Nick!.................Cheers!

Nick is my favorite drummer !! Been for many many years : ) D'Virgilio, Portnoy & Bonham \m/

1:03 Nice food interval between the horses. 😉 (Amazing video, guys)

What a dream job. Thanks for always being objective Nick. You have a dream job but you can still deliver the chops....and be a farmer in your spare time. Kudos bro and God Bless from F1J1😎👍

Beautiful drum set

I must have missed this! All the animals made it on there! I love it! My husband, the animal lover. 💙

NDV is my absolute favourite drummer of today!!! Top dude!!! And Big Big Train are hands down my favourite band!! For all you music lovers in northern America, check out the band's web site and have a look at the gig dates for their first ever visit to the US and Canada!!! Two dates confirmed by the band so far but there will be more coming up shortly!! www.bigbigtrain.com/

You are still inspiring me to go back drumming.

Gorgeous kit. Fabulous music. ❤️❤️🥁

What a class act.

Nick D. has to be the only drummer who’s sponsored by all major drum brands. It’s crazy.

Nick and Company. Pro All the way .

Incredible video! Thanks for taking us on this ride with a consummate pro and an amazing singer.

Absolutely fantastic video. Nick D. in Sweetwater vids is always a treat.

Great video! Nick you are one of my all time favorite drummers and singers!!!

As a drummer, and NDV and BBT fan...this is brilliant! Bring the band to the Boston, MA area, please!

What can I say? Nick I always enjoy your videos.Been a Sweetwater customer for years! The Ludwig kit is beautiful,I already watched Brent's video of the building of the stealth rack.Never been a fan of drumracks until I seen the finished product.Looks like I'm going to start building my Stealthrack soon.Keep up the good work &as always thanks Nick& Sweetwater 🤘

Good luck Nick and enjoy the drumset. You make a great choice.

I’ve got the 21 in K Custom Organic Ride, I love the bell on it! Enjoy yours Nick!

Right on dude , killer kit , thanks for sharing

Been a fan for a while now Nick. Love your product demos. Great drummer too :)

Love these videos, keep them coming. Plus, Nick seems like such a nice guy.

"A really sweet-lookin' Gibraltar stealth rack that I haven't even seen yet." Damn...that IS stealthy! Now to the big question: who feeds the animals while you're on tour? PLEASE TELL ME YOU LINED SOMEONE UP FOR THAT.

AMAZING!!! Dave Gregory!!! Lucky duck!

That trifecta is friggin sick 😎🤘😍

Thanks for sharing this video. your kit looks awesome. I use silver sparkle ludwigs at my church. Great sound. Have fun out there

Very cool Nick!

Excellent photography of the venue. That rack is amazing, I expect all brands to go there very soon.

You are awesome nick congratulations

MABEL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2:32

Love your videos, Nick! Thank you! You rock!💖💖💖

Drums sound great...then again you could play buckets and garbage cans and make it sound good. All the best!

Thanks 👍

Great vid!! Beautiful kit!!!

And one of those sticks ended in Spain at my home :)

Go Nick!

6:40 anyone else heard a chicken or was it just me?

Awesome drum!!!

NDV = The man

Please do a video with POWER TOMS!! show some love for BIG Drums. Seriously, people still play them, and buy them :)

just great stuff! Thank you :)

Clicked on the video to check out this awesome drummer’s kit. Randomly in the video just a hard left turn: I have a record collection” *nick proceeding to start digging though a box and showing off record’s. Me: NO WHAT ABOUT THE DRUMS!?!?!

Sorry about the stupid virus. If you make it down to Tampa, I'll come out and see you.

Great post Nick thx A+

Congrats!!

And you’re an animal lover too! 💕💕💕

7x10, not 8x10, yes? 10-13 is a great rack combo, especially going down to a 16 with 3" intervals between them! It's what I use. Great video, thanks!

stealthrack, porter &davies. dpl. stuff that makes drumtechs like me a happy person. U should try drumplates as well.

Wincent are the best sticks. PERIOD

I saw the video on the stealth kid the other day really cool set up by the way I love all your videos man

Great video, love seeing stuff like this. I’d just like to know what Big Big Train songs were used in this video, I am starting to get into their music as of recently. Also, I’d love to see Sweetwater make some videos on the Gretsch Renown (since it has a new finish this year and there hasn’t been a video of the RN2 yet) and some of the Full Range series snare drums, the new bass drum pedals from Pearl (Redline and Solo Eliminators) and Gibraltar, and maybe even a video on how to order a custom drum set through Sweetwater (like a Pearl Music City Custom, Gretsch USA Custom, DW Collectors or SJC, I know Nick did the video on the Music City kit for Snow Live but I’d love to see a video on how to get a custom kit through Sweetwater). And big shoutout to my sales rep Josh Strid for always being a great help, and to the people in pro audio who helped my dad out last week when he called about something for a Bluetooth adapter for a speaker system and made his first official Sweetwater purchase. You guys are the best!!

Excellent, Nick! I would be interested in how you use the Mac Book and some of the things you do to integrate electronics into the kit and playing live? Oh, and I use smaller sticks these days!😀

Love your work and have been a fan for many years, Nick. I was wondering - do you not have specific endorsements anymore? Always saw you as a Mapex & Meinl guy. Does the gig at Sweetwater give you the power to go wherever you choose? Hope you make it down under sometime! Thank you!

I must have missed it but I didn't hear him mention what hi-hats he's using.

If you haven't already heard the band Big Big Train, check it out, specially if you like classic prog rock

What high hats?

holy smokes, farmer d'virgilio....

Are those mini lugs?

What kind of practice pad is on the snare, during this video? Id realy appreciate any help here. =)

Nick!! Are those blue drums in your home studio the Mapex Saturn Silver Badge Blue Galaxy Fade kit that I sold a few years ago and am still kicking myself for? Great rig rundown!

🤘🤘

What are the hi-hats?

Tell me more about your vocal mic, thanks!

I want to get into Big Big Train. Where do I start?

What, no cowbell?

Any reason for the traditional Tom mounts and not vibra band?

hey nick! Very cool setup! Very inspiring. What cymbals and heads do you have in this kit?

Oh yeah it’s big brain tim-I mean train time...train time....

What kind of drumsticks?

I have a Tama Starclassic performer in the same finish, unfortunately due to the smokey environment it was in it turned yellow...smh

make a blueray nick with a good drum cameras.....

Shoulda used Paiste cymbals.....

that first splash isn't 10"

Zildjian merged with Vic Firth with Daddario buying Pro Mark... who's next?

“South England” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sexy, oh the drums are nice as well.

And Check Nick out at the front of the stage! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-esEmrZbPYas.html

it's always product placement. disappointing

How does this make any money? With all respect. Who knows that band and who pays for the whole thing? This is beyond me.

Can someone in this company be reasonable to send me a functional piano and not a defective piano am tired of this game.
