Love the way he says hello boys and girls when so many fans are almost as old as he is. What a great guy love him. Go Nicko

[@aidanlambrech3822]

*Ello boys and girls

[@Dylan-qt5nr]

He gets boys and girls from old British kids TV. Where he's featured in a few kids TV shows playing drums and clowning around.

[@davidgomersall7185]

I know that this is a Paiste video (and God knows i love my Paiste cymbals) but can we all just take a moment to appreciate what a work of art that drum kit is? Beautiful finish, custom artwork, spun steel snare and the aged copper hardware... wow.

[@NOAHCASAS]

THOSE CYMBALS LOOK AMAZING THAT AGED LOOK PAISTE IS 1OO% THE BEST CYMBAL OVER ALL ❤️

[@alchemist006]

awesome kit and nicko is the most lovable rockstar on the planet

[@wrathofall]

❤ u Nicko! Thank you for all these years.

[@MrNickDrummer]

I've seen this video a few days ago, epic! - He says "reflected" instead of Reflector. Such an iconic character. He's one of the reasons I've chosen Paiste, once I've heard his Hi-Hat in the World Slavery Tour back in the 1980s I knew all my cymbals would be Paiste forever.

[@progression_decibel]

Right on! He also said the 602 heavy bell cymbal was B8 but I thought 602's were B20? Unless this was an old-school formula he requested?

[@agomezloayza]

lovely, we need more live drum cams showing Nicko perform !!

[@deaterk]

On the road yet again! These guys are unbelievable! 🇬🇧Up The Irons!!!🇬🇧

[@kevinthompkins9223]

One of the BEST drummers out there. MUCH RESPECT

[@aacycles]

Paiste did such an amazing job on the finishes of the cymbals! I really like the look of them. The aged signatures are beautiful and the different take on the RUDE looks fabulous. I still love the original RUDE but paiste might be on to something🤞.

[@greenlichtie]

What a gent, the world needs more Nicko 👍

[@NintenDub]

Nicko is one of the coolest blokes ever. Would love to hang out with him

[@Ergo-Drummer]

the aged look is SO AWESOME!!!!!!! We love you Nicko!!! We love you Paiste!!!

[@BrianPetryDrums]

I love Nicko! Such a funny guy and powerhouse of a drummer! Been a fan for a very long time! Love the setup!

[@omars.2546]

Awesome!! Up the Irons 🤘😈🤘

[@alexandercardoso8216]

You're the greatest still stomping this world. May you rule forever

[@joeyh9619]

Happy bday Nicko!!!

[@paulgraydrummer]

What an absolute legend..! Amazing player, amazing kit and stunning cymbals. I fell in love with Paiste after hearing Nicko on Live After Death, loved the sounds of the cymbals on that recording so have played Paiste ever since. The gong is awesome, and love the 17" Rude in the aged finish too, fantastic 🤓

[@MessianicFollowship86]

Had the honour to watch and meet nicko at a drum clinic at the liquid room in Edinburgh in 2005 through my local drum central who endorsed me, and no way he is 71 now ❤🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘

[@justgoofingoff]

He just seems to be a genuinely nice guy guy, well spoken and an ambassador for every brand he sponsors...

[@digitaldesigner5284]

Amazing drum set and Nikko playing always the best.

[@grimdrum2396]

Great video, Nicko! Beautiful cymbals, and I love your choices. I love my Paiste cymbals as well. Thank you, and God bless you as well!!

[@gregoryhuffman3071]

Nicko is a wonderful ambassador for Paiste.

[@dusty_wakeman]

Love seeing the Mojave MA-201fets on overheads. Thanks Pooch!

[@ll7868]

Piece Of Mind had just released when I started taking drum lessons, I played along to that cassette until the tape wore out. Nicko was one of the reasons I wanted to play drums, Dave Lombardo and Alex Van Halen were also huge influences. That's why I always used Paiste cymbals, all my favourite drummers use them. Tama is popular as well, Alex used Ludwig drums mostly but I went with Tama because Dave and Nicko used them.

[@thomasgray7128]

Thank you Niko for being such a spectacular drummer!! I seen Iron Maiden in 1985 on the Powerslave Tour!! That show blew me away!! Niko you are one of my favorite drummers ever!! Keep Rockin!!!😁👍🤘🤘🤘🤘My spelling was wrong 😂😂😂 I meant Nicko!!!😂😂😂

[@mikeskenne]

Beautiful kit for a Brilliant LEGEND!

[@drummerw17]

I'm use Paiste for many years 👍🥁👍. @Paistecymbals the Best!!!

[@davidmain7794]

Worlds best drummer ❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@andyallen1651]

Amazing stuff Nico. Love it. Wonderful kit.

[@laurentjrtherrien5131]

Amazing kit just beautiful

[@officialMainspring]

I would love to see Nicko play all Rudes, minus his signature ride of course.

[@TheKimchipower79]

What’s unfortunate is that the audience won’t be able to see the set during a show. If I’m not mistaken, having seen them twice, they don’t show Nicko and his kit on the large screen. Side note, amazing drummer and phenomenal kit!

[@ConnorByrneDrums]

Those aged Signatures (around B15, secret formula, not B20) look gorgeous!

[@jonny555ive]

"E'llo boys an girls " 😅 MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT Nicko..... Keep doing what you do Brother. 🤘 Long live Nicko Long live Maiden🤘 🤘🤘 Up the irons 🤘🤘

[@rickschneider3887]

Possibly the world’s most expensive drum kit ever made! Nicko must have security guards protecting this kit while they travel!

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

Steve Smith had a few pricey kits too. 👍👍

[@tuslokbaki9579]

the man himself has spoken.

[@ArthurDent33]

Yeah, must make the new head company happy to be an editor’s note 😅

[@zsdrumchannel6672]

Nicko & Paiste 🤍

[@COTG666]

I got a chance to meet Nicko at his Rock and Roll Ribs event in Florida. Great drummer and one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

[@grayknight836]

*Why PAiSTe doesn’t make these cymbals is beyond me?* Love the look of the darker aged Signature series, the lighter 17” RUDE looks 🤩 awesome w/black logo. I’ve always found the Signatures to be too bright for my tastes. Love the copper cymbal stands w/counter weights. The new drumheads look cool, interesting donut 🍩 dot concept. These brands owe so much to some of these legendary Drummers 🥁! Respect to Nico for giving props to companies he’s worked with for 40-years. 🤘🏻

[@HenkeEdge]

Would be a dream to have a kit like that. 🤘🏻😍 Guess I have to do with my Pearl Masters and Paiste 2002 cymbals.

[@SaarphireTTV]

My left ear really liked the first part of this video.

[@damianazambuya9759]

Ídolo ❤

[@johannjohann6523]

Such a nice guy and great drummer. Once again another beautiful drum set for Nicko. I wonder where he puts them all after the tour, all his drum sets?

[@Caliche820]

Nicko’s office is fyre!

[@jacoblando5083]

I could listen to him talk for HOURS

[@Rogersviana]

Boins and gierls. One of the greatest drummers in the world.

[@user-mu1ed5ed4y]

Он великий барабанщик. Талант от Бога. И ещё он хороший человек.

[@Kozouakomachan9079]

素敵なドラムセットですね🥁✨音が聴きたかった！そのドラム下さい👍👌素晴らしい👏😆🤩⚡✨

[@davidcurtis4478]

Wha-a-seh-up my San! Bloomin' ek! 🤘🤘

[@patdeniston3697]

I could listen to that guy talk and/or play all day long

[@thomaskauser8978]

I didn't bring a change of trousers before I clicked on this video!

[@tonywilson9174]

I tell u what , nicko is about the most humble, sweetest, politest drummers out there, especially in an old school trend setter band , such as iron maiden , he's literally like the dude next door, you'd drink a beer with. He's so genuine and a gentleman, he's also one of my favorite drummers of all time and plays my favorite cymbals. I'm returning it to u nicko. May God bless u, ty for being such a positive influence

❤

Yo quiero ser figura Paiste. Que necesito hacer o enviar o que necesito tener?

[@easttennmike]

Not only a great drummer but also a great salesman lol

[@markrushton1516]

premier did donut heads 30yrs ago and Ludwig did silver dots

[@snagathesender1406]

Hoping to catch a stick this time Nicko. Been close on a few occasions but taller people seem to always get there first lol. Up the Irons

[@Joni_Papillon]

I got Nickos stick 2013. The feeling was amaizing when you see it comes right at you 🙌

[@coreyw5981]

Ive always wonder with guys who use 4+ crash cymbals (like nikko, sugarfoot, or mudvayne drummer), do they actually know exactly what crash they hit for each part? Or during a crash pattern do they just hit whatever as long as it stays within the beat. Like say in studio, he had a 17"-22"-15"-16" beat. Wonder if he does the exactly everytime or or just hits 4 whatever crashes

[@hippiesaboteur2556]

Some drummers do but pretty sure Nikko as well as a lot of other (particularly bigger kit/cymbal set up) drummers in fact know each and every one of these different cymbals, where exactly they're located on their setup and this utilize them in said fashion as you described in your statement/question. Hell, I know I do on my set up, and while I definitely don't play anywhere near the largest and most diverse & intricate set up, at the same time my kit isn't very small or basic either. I'd preferably like to expand my cymbal set up by another couple (mainly crashes and/or effects cymbals, and perhaps another set of hi hats somewhere on the right side opposite where my main hats are) but even the way my configuration currently stands as is right now, it's actually quite perfect and adequate for me... Hope maybe that helps, cheers mate

[@coreyw5981]

@@hippiesaboteur2556 i like a 3 crash, 3 splash set up. Even when i do just single hits on those i have a specific crash or splash for that certain part of the song and i make sure to use that one every time versus just hitting whatevs

[@Qliphirot]

Awesome

[@outtayardstudio]

Coulda fuckin played it nicko!!!😂😂😂😂

[@tavetviros]

I want to steal that ride cymbal

[@wdrumz]

Such a great dude.. And he's a Christ follower. Love it man. We need more of that in the music world.

[@thepluggy1]

The angle of the ride is so extreme. Would that hurt after awhile?

[@GaryRinaldi]

Right? I don’t know how Nicko doesn’t have bad right shoulder problems after playing it that way for decades.

[@ciroformenton]

Also, he is a tall guy but sets his drum chair at very low height. He plays the ride with the stick almost at vertical angle. And his snare is inclined in a not so intuitive angle too. Well, that's Nicko!

[@ochocabra1542]

'could you age these cymbals?' he probably has decades-old cymbals in a friggin warehouse somewhere.

[@leonelfigueiredo2519]

BRASIL 🇧🇷 🤘

[@dmitryshkolnik5233]

Great kit, but I don't think the signatures are b20 though )) nor the 602 are b8 )

[@angelozararis8096]

Love you Niko .thank you for years of great music and my god you the strength to keep going.

[@tommasocappuccio8958]

E' troppo simpatico e bravo

[@mikekelly9851]

Wish you had hit the toms so we can hear how they sound with those heads you are promoting.

[@thomasjanssens2275]

Hey Nicko, Tell your drum tech the bass drum pedal is a bit too close to your bass drum head. The beater locking bolt is slightly rubbing against the bass drum head. Could cause a serious issue playing live.

[@ll7868]

I love Nicko's kits, the artwork is extraordinary, but the way it's arranged is weird for me, can't see him, he can't see over the kit, I need to see everything and have everything lower, still, it's a beautiful kit. They always are. I gotta be honest, I really preferred the Paiste cymbals with the Iron Maiden font. I like these too, Paiste is the best brand for metal cymbals imho, my top choice is the 2002 Series, Alex Van Halen's top too, but I always liked the Iron Maiden signatures series. I also love the the Colorsound 900s in red like Aquiles Priester, he's got the best kit setup bar none, I've never really been jealous of a drum kit until I saw his metallic white Tama kit with the Colorsound 900s. Just gorgeous.

[@stefanaleksic4113]

Paiste signature vintage

[@tfr2602]

All respect to Nicko, but the Paiste Signatures are B15 alloy and only the 602 Heavy Bell is B20 bronze...

[@johncollins5552]

Never liked the sound of Signature cymbals in person but they record much better. 2002 and the old Sound Formula lines as well as the 602 crashes and Rude hats I like

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

👍👍

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

Nicko's got the bling like Neil Peart did on his stands/etc. My cymbals aged also , since 1985, lol .

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

I saw him do a drum clinic in Tampa in '86.........👍👍👍

[@joecampbell8599]

How do you hit them toms without hitting the cymbals??? Always baffled me 🤔

[@babooll5632]

Seems like his ride covers a lot of real estate over the toms

[@rogerwelsh2335]

If he only knew that his special gong would be dropped on his head and scratched to hell by Bruce

[@Thirteen31Music]

Any Nicko Signature drum heads surely has to be called “Drum ‘Eds”? If not you’ve missed a trick

[@PietroVentriglia-ct8qz]

Its a very master of Hard Rock Music and the best Drummer of the histoire togheter ti Ian Paice of Deep Purple and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin Up the Iron Maiden 🖐️🖐️💪🎻🎸🎤😀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀

[@Drumsholic]

Could you gave us some info about the prices you buy these cymbals?It's obvious that the prices for you and for the all other drummers they are not you with your reptutation and the meaning behind that is for sure they buy them far more expensive than you?

[@ChristopherT1]

Was that blood on the bass drum pedal?

[@JRM---516]

Hey bloke -- where are your Sonors?

[@Ray-r4q7i]

And here I am with my 6 piece Ludwig lol

[@paulocesargildelima7687]

👍🤘🇧🇷

[@Rockinroomsrob]

So they are the code law heads just silver??

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I wish bdc would offer an affordable nicko shell pack in 1 or 2 basic colours , i dont mean they should make them as they make nickos drums , but say they make them a cheaply as they can ,along the same specs as a pearl export or a premier apk shell structure, no drum company has ever offered nicko fans something like that , premier promised they would , then out of the blue premier went under and thats that , most drummers cant afford 10 grand for high end shells in nicko sizes , if they could manufacture the whole shell set ( no snare) for 1500 , thousands of us drummers would spend tge money .

[@TheStudrums]

Crimped heads = silver dots

[@namlu9979]

He could have play something 🤔

[@paisteplayer1040]

Geez Nicko its time to scale down to a manageable smaller more easy to play kit at 71. We all grown old.. Stop making it harder on yourself.

[@arnabshahriar]

The drum looks very ugly in my opinion... !

[@th3o381]

iron maiden should of stopped before recording the first album . Terrible band

[@GG-ml3vr]

Who are you again,oh thats right,,,,NOBODY🤣

Have you sold millions of copies? Are you rich? I don't think so. 😂

[@SKARKIBANEZ]

THE LEGEND ;)

[@blackielawless2791]

I don't understand the setting of that ride symbol. The tom is almost hidden, making it difficult to hit exactly, but I don't know why you insist on that setting

[@metalzonemt-2]

It's not difficult for him.
