It doesn't matter if you've been playing for 30 years or 30 minutes, his advice is great for any drummer

Nicko speaks from the heart, and as such gives the most relevant and inspiring advice.

I agree. I was lucky to meet him. He was very nice, and funny too.

Happy birthday Nicko! 🥁🤘🎂

I love that he raised his throne and lowered the toms and cymbals. I used to always cringe at watching how low he sat, but it's a testament to always being willing to learn and grow. He's one of the goats

In concerts I was always disappointed at how low he sat. I like watching drummers' techniques (my dad was a jazz drummer and he told me about various drumming skills). When I met Nicko in 2005, I asked him why he was seated so low. He said it was because the other band members were jealous of his good looks so he needed to be unseen behind his drum kit! Great drummer and personality.

I was NOT expecting to see his skippies at 8:24 LOL Nicko is Goated 😂

Of all the impressive things we can list about Nicko....surely one of the most impressive is his ability to not accidentally hit that ride cymbal in its current position. Impressive indeed. :)

I love playing where eagles dare nicko! I was getting the beat wrong, but now I seen how you do it, I...well I get it. I only play traditional drumsticks SOMETIMES on slow easy songs because I have problems going around the toms, but I always used matched. I use a lovely cheap ludwig 6 piece kit with remo emperor heads on top and silentstrokes on the bottoms because I love that old fashioned 70's open bottom sound. When I was 10, I was tapping on everything. Once I tapped on the back of my dad's headrest in the car and he said "stop with that stupid music!"😅 it happened so many times! Those cushions had bounce! Appreciate your advice greatly!🥁

How the hell do you hit those 2 toms with that big ride cymbal in the way,?

@duke_vdun Ай бұрын

Its not in the way for him I guess, there are still 3/4 of the head left to strike.

@jd0879 Ай бұрын

Tbh he doesn’t use those toms often

Yeah, play for the music/band and not for yourself or for the drums' sake. Don't really agree with the left/right hand starting of fills, because in my experience you can be more versatile if you practice both.

pillow practice: "if your right handed start with your left hand, if your left handed, start with your right hand". Huh? I don't get that, don't do that, but i've only been playing 57 years...
