Nick D'Virgilio - Gibberish (Spock's Beard Performance)

[@kotarok]

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.

[@PabloJ1968]

He is a beast multi-instrumentalist and a great singer, with a long musical history.

[@miker5233]

I believe he played with Phil Collins

[@enduringcharm]

I had the exact same thought!

[@coreyw5981]

No seriously though, me too haha

[@juni3r]

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...

[@thecosmicmeatball]

The man is a star. I must have watched this a dozen times in the last week.

[@sergiosanzone958]

Same bro, his style, his voice, his talent, just addictive.❤️🤘🏼

[@BrunoValverdedrummer]

Fantastic performance! 👏👏👏

[@nixneato]

And he sings, too... Fantastic performance Nick

[@chrispydrummer]

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.

[@JRMelancon]

Jesus. What an absolute monster! Well done nick!!!

[@TedSchoenling]

This is nothing. You should see him do this live with his old band Spock's Beard... it is amazing

[@andrzejrubacha9521]

@@TedSchoenling this is old, song comes from 4th studio album

[@JoshFieldhouse3]

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. 🤘

[@garyconner6151]

You can visit Nick at sweet water.in fort Wayne Indiana.great guy and down to earth 🌎.oh and take a selfie with Nick .

[@charlielavalleur3246]

and now he's playing for Mr Big 😮

[@JakeStaffin]

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!!

[@PhilRounds]

Wow! Very Gentle Giant! Great tune, great performance!

[@raphafacastro]

It's always a pleasure to see Nick performing. He makes it seem so simple to chop and sing like that. Amazing!!

[@TonyDiaz.]

Damn! So Nick does't only drum, but also sings and he's pretty freaking great at it! Mind blown! 🤯

[@anthony22bob]

Honestly, one of my favorite drummers. Unbelievably precise, technically brilliant and owns the pocket like no other.

[@TXMusicDrummer]

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...

[@btonez13]

Not sure if you've seen it but at Morsefest 2016 they did the entire Snow album live! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbddp-glL1obc0

[@simon_jakobsson]

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.

[@garyconner6151]

Been listening to Spock beard for two decades now.glad you found him to.old Nick is a monster drummer.

[@ezemusic8140]

Neal Morse the genius songwriter surrounded by incredible performers produced an amazing catalog of music. Thanks to all of them!

[@lukesnyder5637]

Such a beautiful, flowing style of playing. Instantly recognizable, and one of my favorite underrated drummers.

[@TheMusicWiz]

Smokin! Got a bit of a Gentle Giant feeling ...great performance :)

[@stilldiggingrecords3951]

Yeah

[@sandroschemes5169]

How always, Nick is great.

[@antoniskolias]

I've been a fan for years. Great great drumming, always sounding and phrasing so clearly, and on top of that phenomenal singer!

[@demonicsweaters]

Nick D'Vir-F***inggillio! My lord, what a phenomenal musician!

[@frank.l181]

Nick is Amazing fusion drummer. His skill level is Elite.

[@carlnoonan1861]

One of the world's best. Just brilliant.

[@BotoLishus007]

Nick is NEXT LEVEL!!

[@aaronmichael35]

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

[@Utcheeow]

What a glorious performance, both on drums and vocals. NDV is such an amazing, endless inspiration.

[@strat0871]

Bravo Nick, cheers from France.

[@raybergstrom]

I love this so much! Spock's is one of my favorite bands and Nick's drumming and singing always blow me away!

[@namir91]

I love the cymbal salad, shows that he's going after sounds not labels

[@skrupnik]

GENIUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[@gabesmusicshow4215]

Dude what the heck. I can’t even play a song like this and he’s literally nailing it all while singing. Bro has my respect.

[@gballmaier]

Nicks the man. With all the amazing drummers on KZbin, 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 !!!

[@CaioGaonadrummer]

I loved The way He plays The drums, Mr Big did a great choice

[@FusionHowie]

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!

[@t3hgir]

Singing is crucial for all musicians!

[@vurite]

Nicely done. I like the gentle giant influence…

[@compy9123]

Spocks songs are timeless!

[@GZuraman]

A monster, seriously. Amazing performance.

[@DrumControlNRW]

Awesome singing, awesome drumming! What a great performance!

[@carsten1642]

Absolutely amazing from start to finish.

[@timothyweiss619]

Seen him in the band Spocks Beard opening for Dream Theater. That was my first time seeing him play. Very excellent drummer that's for sure.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Incredibly good sounding kit, and very well played!

[@tommyleanza510]

Well you've got my attention NOW!

[@RandyHanley]

INCREDIBLE!

[@stevendunton5520]

I knew Nick was a great drummer, but knew nothing beyond that. WOW!!

[@Zaganer]

very gentle giant!

[@wladimirfighera1999]

Amazing! Nick is the great drummer! Hug from Brasil 🤘 🥁 🤘

[@ripitsympatico5843]

Woah. I also drum and sing backup harmonies....but this is next level. Love Spocks Beard. Love from Ottawa 🇨🇦

Looking forward to seeing him in Mr. Big!

[@christophmeirich5928]

I'm so impressed. Nice to here such a Sound, these compositions are amazing... You are a MUSICIAN! Greetings from germany Christoph 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@mattgreen5720]

So much talent. Hugely impressive.

[@leonkechayasdrums]

Freaaaakin beautiful playing and singing! Wow!!!

[@luisrene2633]

Hey Nick, great drumming as always.

[@jas_bataille]

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.

[@VeitSchlembach]

this is killer!

[@JaysonSherlock]

Mind blown. No words. That is all.

[@willb5240]

That was great Nick!

[@tjthorn9703]

Wow! Awesome drums and vocals! I had no idea he could sing too. Respect!!!

[@MrGilyboy]

Thanks Drum Channel and Nick for the nostalgic vibes.

[@dustyjann2121]

They need to invite Nick to perform at the next PASIC or any other major drum event. Nick is a master!

[@drummertsprow]

Amazing performance, Nick!

[@rolandhillmann6503]

Art !!!🎩

[@dustyjann2121]

What a beast! We want more of Nick on Drum Channel and less on Sweetwater... Extremely underrated, imo.

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful my friend!

[@staciedziedzic8706]

Hi! Loved him in Genesis! Great Drummer and Singer! Awesome video!

[@wilkinsnl]

Fucking love this guy. Love his playing, singing, guitar and keys work. The guy is just a giant of a musician.

[@machinegunhippy]

This is really good 👍 lyrics , singing , drums .. nailed it brother

[@syno9211]

Class!

[@benblackburn2693]

I don't know how but he seems to always get better and better. I'm shocked every time I hear him play.

[@cfyves]

Oh yeah.... great performance on drums and on vocals. I'm forever a fan. Love it.

[@darietto75]

WOw, incredible performance! I didn't know Nick had this beautiful voice!!!!

[@chadcarrdrums]

Nick is next level bad ass. Always has been. Please check out Spock's Beards album "Snow". You will be happy you did.

[@stevo5584]

Snow is an incredible album. I also love the precision of Nick's technique, chops and pocket in spades.

[@kennybarnes2375]

Nick did that!!!

[@barsaul29]

Nick i love this. Awesome drummer and singer

[@oscarsemper6620]

Simply amazing!! THANKS THANKS THANKS👏👏👏👏

[@camparton21]

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.

[@carlosnovaes6993]

Awesome!! Drumming and Singing!!! Definetely not easy or simple!!

[@cowboyupdrummer]

This is so awesome Nick! I’ll have to admit I’ve never heard it before. But I love it!!

[@samtoppilip663]

Killer playing. And that little "woo," hehe!

[@gabrielgsouza28]

Nick is amazing!!!

[@mellowtron214]

Holy fuck…. I’ve seen this guy all over the place in the KZbin drum sphere, and I’ve never seen him play. And he’s playing some tasteful stuff *WHILE SINGING!* Respect!

[@weirdnout]

Nick is the man!

[@BruceWalker51]

Stellar performance.

[@jonashellborg8320]

Amazing! So nicely done Nick! I also drum and sing, Nick is such an inspiration, I wish I can reach his level one day. Currently a bit far to go. Like, I can hit a crash cymbal too hard and accidentally overpower my own voice. :-)

[@timothymckenna1702]

Awesome Nick!

[@KingXanadu]

Jaw dropping talent

[@DavidOakesMusic]

This sweetwater sales engineer needs to be in a band !

[@demonicsweaters]

He's in several bands. One of them is Spock's Beard, which is who this song is by. They have been around for ages and are widely regarded as one of the best modern Progressive Rock bands out there.
