- At the Amaturo Theater in Fort Lauderdale Florida with Mr Big. My DW Collectors Maple/Mahogany drums are sounding so good! A huge thank you to my awesome drum tech Nate Wlazelek for getting them dialed in everyday! Those DW drums, along with my beautiful assortment of Sabian Cymbals, Evans drumheads, and my signature NDV Promark drumsticks make me want to play play play!

Damm thats groove.
Masterful effortless work Nick
Thank you!!!
Sounds great! Please say HI to PG for me!
Nick...just saw the Orlando show this past Saturday night........all I can say is WOW!!! You were phenomenal. You fit into this band effortlessly. I've been watching your vlogs from Asia all last Fall, just counting down the days till the Orlando show, man you did not disappoint!! You are so incredible to watch, a complete joy. You look like you are having so much fun up there. Take Cover is my favorite song and you nail it every night. Enjoy every minute of this fairwell tour my friend!!!
Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot. All the best to you! 🤘
Man I love Nick’s playing
Thank you!
love it! So very tasty. Puts a big smile on my face.
So glad!
One of my favorite drummers ever
Thank you!
Awesome 😊
Thank you!
NDV is as tasty as ever. 🤘
Awesome drumming, mind blowing and very full of life. I only missed the signature greeting "how'ya doing everybody! Nick D'Virgilio here!!" :D :D
Ha! It’s comin back soon. Tour vlogs n more. Ha! That’s funny
Probably one of the best balances of technique, feel, musicality and vocabulary out there. And his kit always sounds beautiful. Sort of like Simon Phillips' younger, smaller-kitted, clean-shaven American cousin - or something like that...
I’ll take that! Thank you!
SO glad you're going to be with them!!!
Hope to catch the Detroit show!
Come on out if you can. It’s a good time. cheers!
Awesome 😎
Thank you! Cheers!
Killer playing on great sounding drums/cymbals!
Thank you!
That ode to Bonham groove at the 1:00 mark is dope Nick, keep rockin!
Thank you!
Drum jam or drum solo? Not only sounds great, as others have commented, but it's very entertaining to see (more than once, too).
Great! Thank you for watching!
Heck yes!
Thank you!
Love your sound and groove! We ´re gonna miss you at Namm.
Thank you. I haven’t missed a NAMM in a while. Have a good time
tight and right
Hey Nick, hopefully you will be playing on the UK tour with Mr Big as got tickets to see them in Wolverhampton, and it would be a pleasure to see you too as I love your playing style! 👍
I will be there! Make sure to say hello
1:35 D’Virgilio on BEAST MODE
Sounds great!!! Pat Torpey is looking down with pride.
Just got tix for the show in Glenside, PA for the whole family. Nick, any chance of getting “If That’s What It Takes” added to the set list? 😊
Not sure. But you will have a good and it’s awesome that the whole family is coming
Hi Nick! I can't wait for the Nashville show--just a couple of days away! I noticed you're playing a slightly different setup than what you were using overseas (one less high tom and no side snare/table, lol).
Tasty!
Very nice. Tasty
Thanks a lot
Bello.💯💯🌡️💯🌡️💯
Thank you! 🤘
I didn't know Jon Lovitz was a drummer! and what a drummer!
One day I hope to meet Jon Lovitz because so make people over the years say I look like him. I think a picture together is in order
that would be amazing! Lol...Greetings from Brazil!@@NDVirgilio
Ouch! Getduhfuggoutaheah!
사랑합니다 형님...ㅠㅠ
Thank you!!!
Hey Nick! Great playing as usual. Curious about what two cymbals you're using in that stack? Thanks!
They are the new Stratus line. The ZERO crash and the China stacked on eachother. Great sound and feel for a bigger stack
Nick, I would love to roadie for you or be your assistant for the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati shows!!! Let CB know if you're interested! Anyway you Rock!!!
Next step.. with Alex and Geddy!! 😊
Ha!
I am not a DW fan (and I have my reasons) but that kit sounds great...it's your signature sound/tuning! Would love to know if you do anything different when tuning a 24" bass drum and a 18" floor tom....thanks Nick!
That’s cool. Everyone has their own tastes. Go with what you love.
I like 24s big and phat sounding. I try to keep them tuned low without feeling flabby. I like 18s to sound thunderous if possible. Dbl ply heads help. Cheers!
@@NDVirgilio Thank you sir!
Nick do you like your Porter and Davies throne? I know I love mine and can’t play without it anymore.
Oh man, I love that throne! It is hard to go back a “normal” throne after using the P&D.
Whats the cymbal to the far right near the china with the holes in it. That sound is amazing.
It is a stacks of the Sabian STRATUS line. The Zero Crash and the China together.
Floor toms sound huuuuuge.
What microphones are those on the toms? By the way, this sounds killer! Rock on!
Those were Shure Beta 98s
Cheers!
@@NDVirgilio cheers!
Come on Nick, use your sales chops to convince Mr. Big to continue beyond this tour. 😉
Apparently they've been recording a new record with Nick, so 🤞
Now with the snares off...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn! I knew I forgot something 👍😂
😂
Nick, damn your soundchecks are better than i could ever play rehearsed in my lifetime! 😂 You are the man Nick!
Hope you comenover yo th4buk and do a frum class as you are pnenof the drummers who influence my playing with Phil collinc chester thompson stev ferone and Simon Phillips. You are a great drummer sir snd love your channel
I was waiting for you to stop playing and try to sell me a drum set😂
That’s the next video :)
Every time Nick speaks I spend money on drum gear
Nick, you are the shiznet!!!
Thank you!
AWESOME BUT HES NO PAT… STRAIGHT UP!
Not trying to be. He was one of a kind. Just trying to pay homage to a great player and do my best for his band and legacy.
