Nick is the man Deserves more praise. Incredible drummer not enough recognition.

@alessandrorossini8704 10 месяцев назад

Who isn't glad that Nick had this gig? He's an awesome drummer and a very nice, down to earth guy, I think that Paul and the other Bigs just made the right choice. Rock on, Nick! 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@MikeLumer 10 месяцев назад

Both these guys are complete legends. I wish more gig rundowns were like this. Paul asked all the good questions!

@adammercysystem6450 10 месяцев назад

These guys seem lovely. Paul just exudes lovely friendly nerdiness hahaha! In the nicest way possible

@mikeskenne 10 месяцев назад

I love Nick! All the experience and knowledge with youthful excitement. Such a great teacher and player.

@srwaite7 10 месяцев назад

Nick is not only a great drummer and singer but a great guy. Always a pleasure, NDV! 👌🏼😎

Paul Gilbert is the coolest dude ever!!! He’s so humble, talented, funny, great suburban dad vibe going on too!!

@anugroho3110 10 месяцев назад

Paul Gilbert is an excellent interviewer

@TinnyHidge 10 месяцев назад

Those were great questions! That's the kind of shizzle you want to hear being asked. Nice one Paul! 👍 Also Nick seems like a good dude!🤘🙂🤘

@diegosolana374 10 месяцев назад

Paul just did the best rig rundown interview ever. Great questions both for beginners and pros.

@Trav86 10 месяцев назад

Two of my absolute favorite musicians ever. I could listen to these guys talk all day.

@Assimilator702 2 месяца назад

Paul is a great interviewer! I loved the detail oriented questions.

@micahnewby3482 10 месяцев назад

Great content as usual, great conversation. Great Job Nick for landing this gig. So Awesome!!

@frankspikes7858 10 месяцев назад

Both of these guys are cool. I really enjoy hearing, and watching them play.

@MauricioMagaldi 10 месяцев назад

Jose Baraquio is a freaking drum tech legend! I had the distinct pleasure of sharing a tour with him while working with MP in Brazil back in 2019 and could witness how a real pro works like. Truly an honor.

@intradibles 10 месяцев назад

Drummer here! Nick and Mr. Big, thank you for coming to Manila to play. Backlining is pretty much common in the Philippines since most Filipino drummers can't bring their own drums on tour with them. But since playing music is only a hobby for me I would want to carry my kit around to my friends or relatives' events. I love DW Drums and hardware, they're my dream brand! 🥁🥁🥁

@justinreynolds3935 10 месяцев назад

Paul is awesome man. Why he got so far in life. He's just a down to earth no ego dude. Nick is the same. Ever since he joined the SW crew it really opened up doors for him. He's been around for a long time. I remeber he was one of the reasons I got a mapex saturn kit. He was an early mapex endorser. Kinda sad he's using DW now but I get it. They are very very available. Pearl too. I personally think Yamaha is the number one backline kit. Stage custom and the recording custom. Used those kits soo many times as backline.

@alexhiltondrums 10 месяцев назад

New Mr. Big Concert DVD please! Nick is a monster drummer!

@ToddGoldsmith-x1o 10 месяцев назад

Really always appreciate all the great drumming gear information from Nick on the Sweetwater channel and his playing! Especially on the new DWe drums. A Mr. BIG Congrats on holding the drum chair down for another really great drummer and super nice guy, Mr. Pat Torpey who is greatly missed by all. Lucky enough to see Mr. BIG open for Rush on the Presto Tour.......both bands were great......and I got quite the drumming lesson from Mr. Torpey and Mr. Peart.

Nick is such a kind, down to earth guy. It's nice to see his successes.

@silentskystudios 10 месяцев назад

I got to meet Nick one year at Morsefest (my family was staying at the same hotel as Nick and the Sweetwater crew that accompanied him), and he was just as nice and down-to-earth in person as what he seems in the videos. Just a real class act. And what a phenomenal drumming talent. I absolutely love that he's landed the gig with Mr. Big, which happens to be one of my favorite bands!

@IononesRoomfulofDrumsStudio 10 месяцев назад

❤ Love this! Nick with Paul Gilbert wow🤩

@brunooliveira6975 10 месяцев назад

Had a chance to see Eric Martin alone in Brazil and have to say that NDV is right about the consistency. It felt perfect! With all the limitations and, a very small venue, a band he probably never played with before, the guy gave a show for the ages. Even my wife, who didn't know any Mr. Big was thrilled by how good he was.

@VirtualLiveShow 10 месяцев назад

Excellent interview, much respect!

@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power 10 месяцев назад

I was excited to see a kit video, and then you get the added bonus of Paul Gilbert asking questions 😄

@kmiloxix 10 месяцев назад

Really cool video, thanks 👍🏼 ... Looking forward to Mr Big touring in South America ✈️🎉🤘🏼🤘🏼

@ThomasMetal75 6 месяцев назад

Being in a band with Paul Gilbert seems like some serious fun!

One of my favorites is the China cymbal with rivets

@roloduarte3100 10 месяцев назад

Great interview.

@jonashellborg8320 10 месяцев назад

So nice to see Nicks rock setup for Mr Big, and nice of Paul to interview Nick! I loved that question of bass frequencies affecting drums, you indeed don’t know if your drums sound right until the whole band is playing. :-) Very curious about your sticks, Nick!

@PabloJ1968 10 месяцев назад

Happy Birthday sir!

@nickpruett8022 8 месяцев назад

Very cool, excellent drummer for that gig. He seems like an all around genuine dude too. Hard to come behind Pat Torpey, Mr. Virgilio does it right.

@Arbigale 10 месяцев назад

Pat T (🕊️) would be proud🥰🥰🥰🥰

@justinreynolds3935 19 дней назад

When I used backline the Yamaha recording and stage custom and dw kits were 99% of the stuff you got Pearl not so much but I did endorse Pearl for 2 years. All solid stuff man.

@alexalja 10 месяцев назад

I was thinking about upgrade my eliminators pedal but Nick D’Virgilio, a great professional drummer who works at Sweetwater, still uses it. My wife wants to save this money but you guys know that snare and will agree with me. Cheers Nick!

@danoneill130 10 месяцев назад

Pearl Eliminator pedals are 100% it! I had a couple DW 5000 pedals from the early 2000’s til 2016. Got the Pearl Redline Belt version….never looking back. Silent, smooth, way durable, and quick.

@eliseohersan7390 10 месяцев назад

Nick D'virgilio es de mis bateristas favoritos, me encanta su manera de tocar la bateria, tambien la emocion y potencia que utiliza al momento de tocar, saludos desde México 🥁🇲🇽

@alfiend331 10 месяцев назад

I've been a Paul Gilbert fan for ages (especially dig his solo stuff where he sings). And now, thanks to this final tour, I'm a Nick D'Virgilio fan, too. Gotta do some research and find out more about his previous work. I've certainly seen a ton of Sweetwater videos he's in.

@TheCOZ 10 месяцев назад

Thanks everyone for doing this. NDV, Paul, Jose, Sweetwater you all rock! Coulda done without the BGM though.

@immersiveaudionft2203 10 месяцев назад

Happy Birthday Master Drummer NDV! Very special day, for us too as my daughter is celebrating 8 today. I wonder, do you carry the bass reso head with you too or just stickers to put on any head provided?

@pdacayan 10 месяцев назад

Hi Nick, what bearings did you put on your old eliminators, I have the same and was thinking of replacing them with skateboard bearings

@thomascooley4388 10 месяцев назад

Wondering why you prefer the snare weight dampeners over o-rings...

@rosshembling2953 10 месяцев назад

Great playing Nick 🥁👍

@NikkLiberos 10 месяцев назад

So we are doing Nick's rig with no other than PAUL GILBERT!!! Chills throughout. Loved the chemistry between you guys.

Paul Gilbert is an excellent interviewer

@markkeneson6806 10 месяцев назад

Congratulations on your signature sticks, Mr. D'Virgilio.

@JDWindtPlaysGuitar 10 месяцев назад

This is a great angle for an interview: One seasoned pleayer asking the other great questions about life as a drummer in a world-touring band, with a perfect combination of ingenuity and well thought out questions.

@Dlanddrum 10 месяцев назад

This was so cool. Thanks Paul and Nick!

@tomkelsey2303 10 месяцев назад

Nice vocal mic and stand/support design!

@mikevanderhule 10 месяцев назад

That was great! Great job Nick! Love what you're doing. Good interviewing Paul, great questions. Nick, don't forget, Yamaha has drums EVERYWHERE! I've always have Yamaha drums to play no matter how remote the country. And they always sound great, no matter what model.

@mikew8622 10 месяцев назад

Nick's sticks are great! Got a couple pairs and feel good all around.

I love SABIAN brand. Its so dificult to have them shiped to PR.

@Beerbatter1962 2 месяца назад

I don't remember Nick playing offset rack toms normally. Now, every single drum kit they showed, he had the kits setup as offset toms. Did Nick decide this was a better configuration at some point?

@felixweber6593 10 месяцев назад

So cool... Nick being interviewed by Mr Paul Gilbert himself, nice moment of complicity between two fantastic musicians... Are you coming to Europe ?

@shreyasiyengar8408 10 месяцев назад

Pearl Masters in pretty much every city in India. Yamaha in the rest of Asia. They sound great and come with smaller diameter kicks drums. I always ask for a 20 inch. Got a 10 city tour in the US coming up in a couple of months. Interested to see what kind of backline I'll get. Also cymbals over kick pedal, but that's cause no backline cymbals will come close to my specific sound. And I only play one kick pedal. I'm sure it's a lot more important when you're playing double bass like Nick does.
