66Samus. Hi there mate. Could you tell me.. on your channel, the Slayer Piece by piece was Slayer playing and not you. And that wasn’t the guy in the video singing either right?? Comments under your video tell me that people actually believe it was the guy in the video and not Tom Arya. Excellent channel by the way! But that was Tom right!!!

I'm the guitar player in an Iron Maiden Tribute Band called Aces High. I eat, breathe and sleep Iron Maiden. You have just absolutely blown my mind. This is the most fantastic piece of drumming I have ever witnessed. You sir, ARE THE FUCKING MAN!! Great job!!! 12 thumbs up!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mariocarmo9334]

do you know Raphael Mendes from Maiden tubers?

[@Bikkurine]

Iron Maiden's drummer from the first 3 albums, Clive Burr, wrote some of the hardest drum parts to follow in maiden history. He was a beast on the drums!

[@unicajamalaga2]

Безусловно, сложнее и интереснее чем у Нико

[@alexjohnston8889]

Just a shame he wasn't as loud as Nicko, on some of the early tracks and some live he is very quiet but there is some awesome footage of Clive out there. Love to hear Clive when he does a drum solo, his were very tasty, Nicko is one of my favourites drummers ever but his rare drum solos I've heard are a bit boring.

[@jjchello]

I don’t know what’s harder. Playing the songs to perfection like you did or picking the exact best spots to transition between the songs. A true fan for sure!

[@unicajamalaga2]

Кстати да ..интересно сколько он учил эту длинную композицию месяц-два, полгода ?

[@tajflentjar4704]

Can we jus appreciate that he took 16 hours worth of drumming and turned it in 30 mins with just a perfect blend between each song everytime

[@mccask]

I am blown away. Only Iron Maiden can drive the passion to invest 1000 hours into such a masterpiece! I hope that Nicko sees your work and responds. Thank you for this incredible tribute.

[@grim9172]

Maiden has been my favorite band forever but it took me this long to realize just HOW important the drums are in this band. Wow!

[@WiFiJeremy]

Not only was the playing masterful, arranging all those song in a manner that flowed together like that was a feat in itself.

Dude ... just dude. I've been a Maiden fan (and a drummer) since the release of Piece of Mind (I had to do some catching up of course). I've seen them a dozen or more times throughout the years, and this - this was by far the best cover I've seen. Way to go, David. Thanks for the effort to put this together - I think even Nicko would be proud of this one! Up the Irons!!

[@chrissampson6730]

This is absolutely insane, probably one of the greatest videos on KZbin. My party trick is that I can name any iron maiden song (without fail) from being played any random 1 second excerpt. But you've definitely got me beat, being able to PLAY every song! Massive love. Massive respect.

[@GEORDIESCAPER]

Fuckin' awesome mate, you should be super proud of yourself. Really do hope Nicko and the rest of the #ironmaiden posse get to see this🤟🤟🤟

[@DarkMajstor]

Absolute MANIAC! The transitions, tempo- & groove-changes are insane to keep up with, for example 7:28min Aces High (Churchills Speech) starts already in To Tame a Land. Fantastic job! I hope Nicko sees this. UP THE IRONS

I was paying attention to your style from Number of the Beast to Piece of Mind. You nailed the feel of both drummers. If Maiden ever needed a fill in, you’d have my vote. That’s coming from a 49 year old loyal Maiden fan.

This has to be the best video on KZbin in my opinion. Fact. What a tremendous talent you have and a brilliant compilation which flows so well. If I were Nicko I’d be proud to receive such a fitting tribute from a dedicated musician inspired and driven to master his trade from an early age!!👍👍👍👍closing tribute and picture says it all.

[@tomsauzay351]

my god man, what a experience. I have been obsessed with Nicko since i was 3 years old, im 30 now. My step dad showed me a VHS of Iron Maiden Live in 85 Live in Long Beach Arena. and i was hooked on Nickos playing since. Your kit is a dream of mine. I hope to get one one day. Your technicality is on point with his man. So impressive.....Killer dude

Thank you so much mate! Sounds like we're pretty similar, a few live videos of Maiden was all it took! I'm exactly the same, hooked on Maiden & Nicko's playing immediately! Appreciate the kind words, they really mean a lot!

Great job! I also liked, how you chose the parts to play. It contained everything. Memorable riffs, choruses, breaks, soli,...

And especially thank you for picking out THAT part in "Don't look to the eyes of a Stranger". :-)

Phenomenal !!! Great drummer!!!

[@badgerello]

Holy crap. Presented so succinctly (yes; 36 Minutes is succinct) it’s amazing to hear the obvious stylistic transition from Clive to Nicko, then the growth Nicko has employed, close and technical in the early 80s, prog experimentation, especially transitioning from the 80s to the 9Os, root kit elements during SOTC, reaching out again into BNW, more kick and snare focus, finally open and expressive later into the 2010s. Beautiful to watch. Congratulations and thanks for this.
