[@SabianVault]

Love it Nick! Thank YOU! And Nate too!

[@jacemoore5175]

Just got done watching y’all in Nashville, for sure was an amazing show, also didnt know you were a guitar player.

[@musicosm]

Keyboards, too. He is quite the musical Renaissance man.

[@TimothyMcGrath-ub1bj]

Great show in Nashville, and at the Ryman! Perfect 👍

[@NDVirgilio]

Thanks for coming!

[@willrockdesigns]

Getting to play with Gilbert and Sheehan is incredible! You rock Nick!

[@NDVirgilio]

It is indeed. Thank you!

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Thanks for sharing Nick! Been a long time Sabian user-they have NEVER let me down! Love your drumming sir!🙏🏻 🥁

[@carlmay7120]

Sounds mega! Can't wait to see the band in Nottingham next month.

[@NDVirgilio]

So glad you are going to make it to a show!

[@carolinewagenknecht1933]

Nate! Behind the scene people are so underappreciated. Thank you Nate for making Nick sound a lil better!

[@NDVirgilio]

He is fantastic

[@bélalugrisi]

State of the art! Beauty! TY Nick!

[@damnyankeefl]

i had no idea you were drumming on this tour. i love the plaza it's my favorite venue. darn it.

[@Beerbatter1962]

Man, I would love to see you guys live one day. I missed the Orlando opportunity. Just ordered your sig sticks.

[@NDVirgilio]

Thank you!

[@TheCOZ]

Thanks again Nick! Can't wait to hear that Bulldog here in Colorado in May.

[@NDVirgilio]

That will be fun. See you there!

[@MichaelKuhl1965]

You will be pulling into town here in Cincinnati tomorrow. Hope to see you there!

[@HolyGhostDrummer]

Nick, Sir. We do not deserve you!! Your energy is revered.

[@cowboyupdrummer]

Great to see this. They sounded amazing in Atlanta the other night. When we talked, I forgot to asked you about the ride. I could tell you were playing SABIAN but wasn’t sure if that was the new Todd Sucherman signature ride. But this explains it.

[@NDVirgilio]

His is a great cymbal for sure

[@dferris7767]

Awesome video, Nick. I had been wondering about your cymbal setup for this tour. Saw your "soundcheck" video from a few days ago and loved the array of sounds you were getting. So glad you're able to play these guys.

[@NDVirgilio]

Cool, thanks!

[@silentskystudios]

Hi Nick! I was at the Nashville Ryman show a couple of nights ago, and I can confirm--you sounded A-MA-ZING on those drums! The whole band seemed to be having such a great time playing together. A great vibe and energy was radiating from that stage! I really hope and pray there might be more touring after the new record is released! 🤞🙏

[@NDVirgilio]

Glad you came and had a good time. Thank you!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Cool kit Nick

[@NDVirgilio]

Thank you!

[@JakeStaffin]

As a longtime Sabian and Evans player, it's awesome to see you're choosing these for your recent touring setups!! I'll have to get one of the 18" AA Raw Bell crashes, the Stratus stack and the Zen China in the future. That DW kit is magnificent, and I've also started using your signature Promark sticks. Awesome setup!!

[@NDVirgilio]

That’s awesome Jake! The Zen China is soooo good! Keep rockin ! 🤘

[@only1johnnyjohnsjr]

I'm going to see Mr.Big at the diamond ballroom. Can't wait.

[@NDVirgilio]

It’s a good time. Glad you are coming to a show!

[@carlosclerigadrums]

Killer kit!! Can´t wait to see you guys in Mexico next april. (If you need anything let me know)

[@NDVirgilio]

Thank you!!!

[@michaelczimback720]

The Zen China!🙌

[@AuroStudio]

Sumer breeze - Brazil ❤

[@BUBBAROC1]

Beautiful kit. You’re playing Evans heads now?

[@colemartin9077]

Hey Nick I have a question. If you were to buy a micro kit from sweetwater, which one would you get? I'm looking at the sonor bop 18" kit for gigging in small venues. We play mostly 70s 80 some 90s rock and country. Love you stuff man! I value your opinion very much. Thank you so much!

[@NDVirgilio]

Hey there! You can’t go wrong with Sonor gear. Is it the AQ2 you’re looking at? Those are fantastic. There are others for sure. Gretsch makes very nice small drums. Happy shopping!!!

[@colemartin9077]

@@NDVirgilio yes sir the AQ2 marine white. Thank you so much for your feedback.

[@lssoundcompany5034]

Nick is Great, Can we put a drum camera on him !?!

[@NDVirgilio]

Yes!

[@sebastianorlando7275]

bien nick! sin die cast...

[@КонстантинРябов-т8у]

👌👍👍👍

[@NDVirgilio]

👍🤘🙏

[@MrDreamthe]

este es el kit que traerás a España Nick.?

[@NDVirgilio]

It will be similar but not that exact kit

[@BUBBAROC1]

Evans heads Nick. What happened to Aquarian?

[@NDVirgilio]

Just changing it up and loving what the folks at Evans create.

[@matthewsherman9765]

Same here the regular DW felt beaters are superior and have nice weight and balance

[@NDVirgilio]

They do make a difference. Thanks for watching!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Do those dampers fit a s-hoop rim?

[@NDVirgilio]

I’ve never tried but I bet they would. They hold on tight and work well on die cast hoops so I bet they would be good on S hoops as well. Give em a try!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

@@NDVirgilio i will Nick, thnx

[@d.r.971]

why in USA you use one tom less?

[@NDVirgilio]

I am really more comfortable that way. Sometimes it is fun to have the 2nd rack tom but I think I like the single rack tom best.

[@mcbrain79]

Are those sticks close like 5b or 7b or 5a...

[@ldcsam1]

Slightly bigger than the 5A.

[@NDVirgilio]

A bit bigger than 5A, longer taper

[@mcbrain79]

@@NDVirgilio and of course i cant get those here in Finland🤦🤦🤬🤬

[@saghnussen]

Felt beaters on pedals? Not so punchy for double bass parts.

[@TheDroc1990]

He's not really a metal drummer. Gives you a nice feather. Let's you play with more dynamic.

[@stevenfederico2594]

Now, did that shell pack come with a match and snare you had to buy that separately😂 Nice to see when it comes to your own drums you’re part of the DW family.

[@FrankDag]

Every time Nick speaks I spend money on drum gear
