Nicko's new drums - The Future Past

[@vaggelisrizos134]

This guy is 70 years old, look youger, full of love for what is he is doing, full of joy and energy...amazing..

[@bostonstrongpatriots8881]

That's just ridiciolus, the whole band with their age thing 😅 few more albums and tours can work

[@vaggelisrizos134]

@@bostonstrongpatriots8881 Yes because in some videos and articles ive read some rumors for retirment...

[@ekolog8201]

@@vaggelisrizos134 Maybe some members have health problems, who knows. There have been some contradictory news regarding retirement, I think Dickinson said last year that they don`t have plans for it. In any case it would be great to have retirement tour or a new album instead of statement.

Nicko has wanted to play it for years. I bet he's a happy guy now.

Nicko is such a wonderful and funny character and a master of his craft as well. Great video. Thank you.

[@krt88nc]

He seems like a truly genuine guy

[@davidgomm6043]

he would be funny cos he's from London

[@sarahgolding1968]

He should be Sir Nikko? 😂

[@davidgomm6043]

met him on the world slavery tour at hammersmith odeon in a pub an he brought the whole pub a beer what a gentleman

[@silvio.negociosdigitais]

I had the opportunity to meet and interview Nicko in 1997 here in Brazil, at the time for the extinct Modern Drummer Brazil magazine, he was extremely charismatic, friendly and even gave me a lesson. I've been a fan since 1983, so I'm suspicious of saying anything. But, he is an amazing person, extremely inspiring and talented musician. Great Nicko.🎵🎶🥁

[@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo]

And funny ! You forget that! Yes so true they are awesome guys, big talent, and nice people, who can ask more?

[@Vario69]

Aren't irons as a band like one of the least controversial guys in music industry ever? Loving it

[@tepidtooth8539]

I was anticipating this!! Not even a drummer I just love Nicko’s kit rundowns, he’s so knowledgeable and his kits are so well done.

[@vukjovanovicofficial]

Legendary human being and a legendary heavy metal drummer. Probably THE best!

[@АлексейТюрин-б7ц]

Великий товарищ ударных инструментов.!

[@Alexg2g1]

they are getting older and older ... specially nicko ... When I heard his cracked voice at the beginning of the video, it melted my heart ... it makes me really sad that eventually we will have to say goodbye to IM in the near future i wish we could use a Time machine and travel back in 1975 and live it all again :( best band ever. When this guys calls it a day its gonna be one of the saddiest days of my life :(

[@martymartin2894]

I agree there's not much left in our favorite band sadly that's just life, everything comes to an end. Some people are delusional and saying they have another ten yrs in them I can't see that sadly.

[@baranyiatti]

After watching them tonight in Prague, I'd say one more leg of the Future Past Tour and probably a farewell tour. That's it. And my heart is bleeding because Nicko is my all time favorite and it is painful to see him playing slower and slower. Thank you for all those years of inspiration!

[@martymartin2894]

@@baranyiatti yes he is struggling big time he's even leaving out a lot of fills but he owes us nothing he's 70 yrs old and has given us a lifetime of great drumming and music and he's a character. Bruce is also after aging rapidly and is struggling aswell in my opinion.

[@bmb3178]

Im very concerned about Nickos health..Hes not playing at his usual level, not doing his rolls and fills,they skip the cam shots of him also..

[@martymartin2894]

@@bmb3178 is there no shots on screen of him at all.

[@tanukistrider6541]

I'm usually more of a 4-piece, simple kit guy, but i will always nerd out over Nicko's crazy kits 💚

[@faequeentitania]

It always amazes me how huge Nicko's drum kit is, and how easily he keeps track of it all! Hope there's a drum cam so we can see some of the magic he gets up to back there.

[@justinreynolds3935]

This is what you get when you are drum royalty. I love nicko takes advantage of custom designs. And changes it up based on themes. Absolutely gorgeous kit.

[@heavymetalhistory6152]

The guy filming with the hat on is one of my best friends...he's been Maiden's audio/video director for several years and has nothing but good things to say about Nicko. In fact, my bud is in a Maiden tribute band, and when Maiden played in Nashville (where we both live), Nicko showed up at The Hard Rock Cafe and sat in on drums for a couple of songs with my buddy's band.

[@aquilespriester1971]

I have loved all your drum kits since 1986, but this one is one of my favorites. Thank you for all the inspiration, and you are still the one. Finally, after 37 years, I will have the chance to enjoy Alexander the Great in a live concert. Long live You and Iron Maiden! ;)

[@pavelzelenka5146]

Nicko you are such great person ! I wish you all the best during the tour. God bless you too…

[@eszterszabo5103]

I don't really know anything about drums but I love to listen to Nicko. I could listen to him for hours on end. Plus I love how he calls us ' boys and girls'. 🥰So sweet. Maiden is simply the best. Best band, best musicians, best human beings all around. Love them all to bits. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘

[@garymurphy8703]

The drummer and bassist are rethem of the band the rest of the boys lesin for the change of song

[@NoFsGiven666]

I just love Nickos character what a legend always positive vibes and a joy to watch whether playing or giving a tour of his drums 🫡

[@professorpier9]

This man is so communicative and explains so well that even myself not being a drummer I keep listening until the end of this video just for paying atenttion to all his drumset tips and details !! Up the Irons!! Thank you Nicko!!

[@ethanmitchell5106]

Every new tour brings a new chance for Nicko to take us around his kit, and I LOVE it so much. The drums looks and sound as amazing as ever!

[@thatsentertainment5602]

What amazes me with Nicko's drumming style is that he is incredibly relaxed when he plays! Nicko's drum kit has such a beautiful, natural and powerful sound to it!

[@Hateweek1984]

Nicko....saw you a few years back in Washington...dreams do come true! God bless sir! Best to you and the boys

[@mcbrain6666]

Nicko's kits are always the BEST.

[@hyrulelink16]

Legend and my favourite drummer. Unfortunately his playing has become limited, lot of fills and crashes are missing. It is bittersweet, but I'm honored to be a Maiden fan, and Nicko is still my favourite drummer.

[@kipmcbride9910]

He’s a cool guy. Met him years ago and was initially nervous. He was such a cut up and made me drop my guard and just relax. Really nice guy. He really knows his gear. The engineering and production.

[@justdrumit9031]

My biggest idol, God Blass you Nicko. I watch this video 4 days after I saw Iron Maiden in Prague just because I wanted to be surprised when I go there. The boys were absolutely phenomenal. God bless all of them and i wish them many more years of touring and music making, becuase they are the best! Up The Mighty Irons, always and forever🖤⚒️🤘

[@Feercholain]

GORGEOUS set! I love the fact that SO much artistic effort is put unto this "tool" from which this gent makes ART.

[@kj3n569]

Still won't get a double bass set, he just plays fast enough to sound like he has one. At 70. Amazing musician, like the rest of the band. Maiden rules! Up The Irons!

[@Bayan1905]

Nicko is just a big kid at heart and having a hell of a time. I think the older he gets the bigger the drum kit gets.

[@tilenjk02]

One of the best drumers ever

Nicko is such a star. As a drummer I love the way he talks you around his kit, he really does keep everything exciting! I'm looking forward to his heads coming on the market as my kit could do with new heads and having used Code before I'm excited to give them a go!

[@Juicexlx]

I can't think of a more deserving drummer for a supped-up drum like this. A testament to longevity and kicking-ass for 50 years. Hats-off, Sir!

[@munkygrip1977]

Always love watching Nicko's kit tours. Nothing really changes fundamentally but there is always something new to report. I started using Code heads on my own kit (Law on toms with the donut dots and Zero on snare) last year and love them! Up there with the likes of Remo and Evans for sure. The Zero snare head has taken a proper bashing and is still standing up 9 months later! Well worth checking out folks.

I've seen some people say that Nicko isn't playing behind this kit after watching videos from the last few shows. But they seem to be forgetting that he's 70 years old now and he has arthritis! Of course he isn't playing as intricately as he did before. He has about 4 months of touring ahead of him. It's a wonder people are so quick to criticize.
