Ah yes, the summer of 1983 a young 13 year old Maddog collected his newspaper route money and headed to the record store and bought Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden (never having heard of Iron Maiden or heavy metal) solely because of the album art. I got home and slapped that record on my turn table and Where Eagles Dare was the very first metal song I had ever heard. I was blown away! Nicko McBrain was an instant hero to me (except I wish he wasn't a single bass snob). I had to learn that song, I had to play drums. It took me a year of saving from my paper route to buy my first, second hand kit. I had no idea where to start. There was no internet, no KZfaq and living on a military base in New Brunswick, Canada you couldn't just go to the local mall and buy a video. So I listened to that song and tried to match the drums Nicko hit to the drums on my kit. Needless to say I wore out that album and two cassettes teaching myself how to play that song and eventually the whole record. 36 years later, I still play drums (and bass), I still love Iron Maiden and I still love heavy metal!!!

This is an absolute masterclass in drumming excellence. Maximum respect.

Absolutely mind blowing ,Where eagles dare has to be one of my top 5 favorite Maiden songs.You did this one perfectly as usual.Please keep them coming I really think this is what the world needs at this time something to take their minds off of the madness happening all around us🤪🤘🏻🈂️☮

This was a brave choice. Well done.

Wow, impressive! That one was a workout! Great job! 🇨🇦

Ah Chiara, my favorite Iron Maiden song! It's a fun one to play on the drums, it always puts me in a good mood. Thanks for sharing your talent!

One of the most challenging track on drums in whole world !!!! Bravo 👏👏👏,from Poland 🇵🇱

Brava Chiara!!! Ottima performance, continua così! 💙🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Great cover and great drumming. One of my favorite iron Maiden songs. Brings back great memories.

NICE!!!!!!! number of the beast and piece of mind were my two fave albums when i was like 12-14 years old, listened to those 2 albums like a trillion times. great song and good job.

This is an explicitly drum centric song. Thank you so much for the experience, dear Chiara ! Very good job ! "Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far."

I have to admit, probably one of the best renditions of this song I've seen...very impressed!

Супер, супер,супер!!!!!!!! Крутяк, офигенно сыграла!!!!!!!!!!!

If that’s not your best work it’s as great as anything else. It’s a relentless masterpiece in drumming and you nailed every bit. Bravo.

The most difficulty maiden song for drummers,bravo!!

Grandiosa come sempre !!! Sei un portento Chiara, talento puro, mi fai sempre venire i brividi perché riesci ad impreziosire pezzi che già di per sé sono dei capolavori ma tu gli dai un tono che il pezzo stesso sembra stato fatto oggi. Complimenti vivissimi grande Chiara ❤

Non credo che sia la canzone iron maiden più facile alla batteria; grazie chiara per questa magistrale interpretazione 💜

Brava! That is my absolute favorite song from Iron Maiden & Piece of Mind is a classic.

Ascolto Piece of Mind da quasi quarant'anni e non mi ero mai reso conto, fino ad oggi, di quanto fosse complicata questa parte di batteria. Soprattutto l'indipendenza tra gli arti, da mantenere a quella velocità è davvero notevole. Cribbio se sei brava 👏👏👏👏👏.

Hands down, best cover of this song I've seen. Very difficult song to play if you do it right. I've been trying to get it right for over 25 years, and she still does it better. Not to mention she's real easy on the eyes I think I'll go take a bat to my drums now, then off to the wood chipper. Thanks Dream Crusher ... just playin'. Awesome job!!!

Excellent Chiara, absolutely.

Bravo Chiara ! toujours la meilleur !

Love the sound of your toms !!

Grande Chiara che illumini la batteria con i tuoi battiti. Grandissimi Iron!!!

Iron maiden are my favorite metal band of all time and this song is so amazing and unique and you did a fantastic job, thank you so much!

One of my favourite songs to play loud in the car. Great stuff!!

Where Chiara Dares...that was awesome!

Fantástico!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!

Sono affezionato a questa canzone. È la prima canzone heavy metal che ho sentito quando avevo 12 anni, quella che mi ha fatto appassionare al genere. Vedere oggi una bella ragazza giovane che sente questa musica e suona questi capolavori (in mezzo allo schifo musicale e non che c'è oggi).. mi fa molto piacere! Forse c'è ancora speranza nel futuro.... 🤟🤟🤟

Have never ever been a Maiden fan,but You chose the right song to cover with this one Chiara!!! As it has a lot of repetitions in the drum-sequence!!! Keeping good time during that is almost mandatory!!! GREAT Cover!!! Always look forward to your Next video!!! :-)

Absolutely spot on. The fills / rolls were perfect, the bass drum triplets - awesome, and I love your right hand stick control. 👏🤘

Oh Wow!!! Perfezione Chiara!! Performance sublime, altro pezzone questo!! Complimenti cara, che carica 👏👏👏 Big Like per te! Grazie mille. Stay Rock! 😘❤️🎶🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥

full of energy and drive - brilliant Chiara

Nicko McBrain is one of the most underrated Metal drummers out there- and there she is playing drums flawlessly! No big deal! So much love

Formidabile...non c'è altro da aggiungere🔝

The expression of exertion an concentration on your face....Priceless. Exceptionally Well Executed..Chiara...One of my favorite songs on drums....And when I saw you play Rock an Roll by Zep....That was awesome,also.!!!!!

Bravissima Chiara,ottima esecuzione!!👍👍

Y e e a a h ! ! 😲 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Congrats, young lady! Absolutely mind-blowing!! I am really impressed, that you packed out your triple bass drum kicks towards the end. 👏👏👏 I was afraid that maybe your foot might fall off, but you made it, boldly, until the end. An incredible piece of drumming. Enjoy! 🙂

Excellent drumming on an advanced song. Two thumbs up!

Perfect !! Great Chiara / Nicko Bass drum ++++++++++
