    Maiden are absolute pros. They sound like a well honed machine. They don’t have bad shows. Bruce’s voice sounds amazing, the band performance is spot on. Nicko’s playing is such a joy to listen to. No one plays fills like he does and his sense of timing and overall composition of his parts to shape the songs are integral to the rhythmic magic of Maiden. Best band on earth for my money…

    I love how unique Nicko's setup is from a drummer's perspective. That ride overhangs the rack toms by so much I'd be hitting it unintentionally all the time, but Nicko has totally mastered his instrument and knows what he needs. It seems like he's tilted the tom angles forward just a bit, you might actually be able to see him behind the kit now, lol. Absolutely gorgeous kit, all props to Nicko and the builder for a fantastic setup.

    I got to meet Nicko in 1989. He was in West Virginia for his wedding. He and a couple of his friends were out for a day of boating at a marina that I worked at.
    I was not aware who he was at the time. I was fully aware of Iron Maiden and their music. I was 18 at the time and thought the band was amazing then.
    Anyway, even being the celebrity that he was at the time, he was the most humble and polite person.
    It was an odd experience meeting a person in rural West Virginia with such a thick English accent and that the encounter really stuck out to me at the time.
    It was to my surprise that a few days later I saw a wedding announcement in the local paper and to my surprise, there was the polite English gentleman that had rented a boat from me.
    It was a pleasure to meet you Nicko.

Nicko, your my favorite drummer in the world and so is Nicki from the Iron Maidens female tribute that I've had the pleasure of teching for many times.

It's amazing between Bruce and the guys how knowledgeable the whole band is on various subjects.

    Must be such a help to Nicko to have Charlie tend to that vast and precious kit. We all want Nicko to keep having full playing, recording and touring. I imagine that kit is a full time job to treat with the care it commands. Grateful there's a man willing to make it his career so we get to hear it!

    To think I had the great fortune to see and hear this band (years before they became the world's biggest and greatest Heavy Metal band) at the old Cart + Horses in Stratford. I was an American (still am actually) living in Stratford (working for Ravenseft Properties. Who built the Shopping Centre) when I popped in to a pub to hear some music. On that night I heard Iron Maiden for the first time. I was thirty-six y/o, but I swear when I left, I was seventeen.

      I’d love to hear them do it themselves, hear some more of the history and motivation. Plus play a little. It’s always a treat hearing them play by themselves. Adrian has done it in a few UA-cam videos and his picking technique explained so much.
      Plus I’ve heard way too little of Jannick.

    It’s remarkable that Nick can still plow through Maiden’s set a few times a week at almost 70 years old. They might not be the most technically demanding drum parts, but the song lengths require some serious endurance, particularly his single-pedal gallop technique. What a legend.

      In the grand scheme of things, Maiden’s drum parts are fairly basic, particularly over the last 20-25 years.

      @@keefriff99 False, I would say they’re less innovative (Nicko has been using the same licks for 30 years) but they’re still demanding to play. Aces High and Run to the Hills are played last in the set and they’re arguably the fastest songs of the set

    I’m not a Maiden fan from back in the day, just a gear head drummer who checked out a recommended video. I know Niko’s name, but nothing really about him. What a cool guy! He seems so humble and fun. I totally see him going down to the pub for fish and chips after a show with his mates. So down to earth.

    I've been a fan of Iron Maiden from the beginning, & Mr McBrain is a KILLER drummer, but a even better human being. I had the pleasure of meeting him in the early 80's when he did a drum clinic at Dale's Drum Shop in Harrisburg, PA USA. It would be awesome to have him come back and do another clinic....what ya say Nicko, will you come back and have another go at Dale's. We love to see you again, Cheers.
