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

[@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.

[@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.❤️🤘🏼

[@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...

[@nixneato]

And he sings, too... Fantastic performance Nick

[@PhilRounds]

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

[@BrunoValverdedrummer]

Fantastic performance! 👏👏👏

[@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!!

[@TonyDiaz.]

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

[@frank.l181]

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

[@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

[@raphafacastro]

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

[@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

[@stevendunton5520]

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

[@demonicsweaters]

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

[@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 😮

[@anthony22bob]

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

[@ezemusic8140]

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

[@TheMusicWiz]

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

[@stilldiggingrecords3951]

Yeah

[@garyconner6151]

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

[@BotoLishus007]

Nick is NEXT LEVEL!!

[@skrupnik]

GENIUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[@lukesnyder5637]

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

[@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.

[@tommyleanza510]

Well you've got my attention NOW!

[@strat0871]

Bravo Nick, cheers from France.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@compy9123]

Spocks songs are timeless!

[@Zaganer]

very gentle giant!

[@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.

[@pal4597]

Looking forward to seeing him in Mr. Big!

[@vurite]

Nicely done. I like the gentle giant influence…

[@t3hgir]

Singing is crucial for all musicians!

[@suprchickn7745]

New to modern prog rock and I only knew Nick from his singing on Neal Morse's JCTE. What a fine musician he is!

[@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!

[@CaioGaonadrummer]

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

[@RandyHanley]

INCREDIBLE!

[@carlnoonan1861]

One of the world's best. Just brilliant.

[@wilkinsnl]

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

[@namir91]

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

[@StartdrummingDe]

Oh I love this song! A true classis! 😎

[@Utcheeow]

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

[@andrescisnerosenriquez8142]

WOOWWW MAN, WHAT A VOICE MAN, NICK REALLY REALLY YOU ARE WONDERFULL , GREAT MAN, GREAT

[@raybergstrom]

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

[@wladimirfighera1999]

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

[@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!

[@christophmeirich5928]

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

[@ringobeat4444]

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 .

[@ripitsympatico5843]

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

[@GZuraman]

A monster, seriously. Amazing performance.

[@rolandhillmann6503]

Art !!!🎩

[@martingjsmith]

Incredibly talented individual. Top guy!!

[@stevenbatley8666]

True pro; and certainly know's what he's doing.

[@benblackburn2693]

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

[@staciedziedzic8706]

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

[@weirdnout]

Nick is the man!

[@mattgreen5720]

So much talent. Hugely impressive.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Incredibly good sounding kit, and very well played!

[@kennybarnes2375]

Nick did that!!!

[@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 !!!

[@anthonystone3927]

Gotta love this guy.

[@timsears951]

very excellent drummer and vocalist

[@barsaul29]

Nick i love this. Awesome drummer and singer

[@JaysonSherlock]

Mind blown. No words. That is all.

[@carsten1642]

Absolutely amazing from start to finish.

[@syno9211]

Class!

[@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.

[@patarikisoterion9899]

Excellence makes you feel safe. This was excellent and enjoyable to watch.

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful my friend!

[@leonkechayasdrums]

Freaaaakin beautiful playing and singing! Wow!!!

[@SockerConny80]

Only ever saw Spock's Beard live once, I'm sad to say. The best show I never knew I was gonna get having bought a ticket to see Dream Theater. They outperformed DT to such a degree I barely remember DT's show.

[@willcotter2588]

Holy shit I'm just learning that Nick's got pipes!

[@chrisgoudy1954]

Great song. Great performance. Wow.

[@andrewcassidy9395]
