Nicko's quite the character. Always with the Infectious positive personality and playful banter

Nicko still unchanged after all those "wasted years"! Still beaming with positivity and enthusiasm! What a fantastic role model and drummer! British Drum Company must be thrilled to have him. He should help catapult the brand upward and onward where they belong. Beautiful set there people! While I doubt I could afford that at the moment, I will be at least looking at acquiring Nicko's signature snares. This was a great clip which i thoroughly enjoyed! Cheers!

Nicko seems so excited and enthusiastic about the work that Keith & co. are doing - it's obvious he's truly inspired by British Drum Co. and his move to the company was clearly done out of pure love for the products and the people. A true class act!

"How does it sound? 'LOUD'" - lol! dude so awesome!

The biggest difference I see in Nikko is that he's FULLY involved with Keith & The BDC, knowing everything about the kit which is awesome. Even when he was with Premier for over 30 years I never heard him so detailed about the drums as he is here. I'm lucky to know Keith from his days at Premier & he's an absolute genius, the best thing to ever happen to him was being let go by Premier. The BDC is a force to be reckoned with & is taking over the drumming world with the full spectrum of products available.

It always put me a smile when i see nicko! Always! Great person (and very very lovely drumset!)

Lovely bloke,worked on his house in Florida.Very down 2 earth,super nice man

I love it when he goes "boys and gurls!"

Nicko is a Class act a Legendary kit for a Legendary Drummer

Lots of people shouting about him leaving Sonor.... Nicko is a putting effort in to getting a British drum company back in the game which is well needed and admirable. Premier made some brilliant kits in the 90s with the Genista and Signia, and their demise was a real shame as they had lots of history behind them. No one would hassel a German or US drummer for choosing a brand from their own country. The guys doing it clearly for the right reasons.

He'll never lose it, he's always had it and damn he's a fawking amazing dude!!

At first I was surprised with the move to BDC but now I know why he did it... Just take a look at the passion with which he is talking about the drums, he knows every single product line name, which is rare with famous endorsers since they generally don't care what they play, he REALLY cares about these drums and the company and it's so wonderful to see 😀 Best wishes to everybody at BDC and Nicko ❤️

Wow he didn't stay with Sonor long

I remember watching some videos of him (not sure if he was playing with Iron Maiden, at the time) playing DW drum set. Now, I know that drummers get paid and also get new drum sets by the companies they use. From Sonor, Premier, DW (???), Sonor (again), now this? Ok, he said that this isn't to be used with IM, but man, he changes his mind a lot. Or, aren't the companies paying what's owed to the man, and as such, he keeps changing. Whatever the reason, probably we'll never know. But, it is wonderful to see that he is still such a lovely down-to-earth and good spirited guy. What a fantastic character, and most importantly, what a Drum God. He makes his job look and sound so easy to do. You just have to love him.

The red lights shining on the kit make it look absolutely monstrous, awesome kit

Wow, what an awesome looking drumset, I wish we all could have heard it in action!

I wish I could afford the shell pack , what an absolute beautiful drum kit.

saw him at a jam night at the Royal Standard in Walthamstow way back in early 1990's..same enthusiasm back then. i remember him being supportive of a young drummer...fine fellow.

Fantastic looking kit! I’m only concerned to get the right Tom angles for a traditional Nicko set up with this Casino hardware 🤔

Nicko..one of the true greats🥁

What a joy he is! Would like to have heard the drums though.

How lovely is this fantastic Nicko!

Only recently found out that Al Murray is a founder member of BDC, awesome!

My pleasure dear boy

You are brilliant nickomagicxxxx

Can't believe he ditched Sonor. Again.

Al Murray, The Pub Landlord casually hanging in the background.

One of the best drummers ever! And a really funny person.

His best sounding kit was the concert tom Sonor on Powerslave.

Holy fudge... square toms?!!!! For Nicko???? Oh the humanity!!!!!

I love how the tom mount is on the toms I prefer that to most of the other stuff on the market.

Why would anyone "dislike" this video?

What happened to Sonor?

that ride man ..that ride

Nicko is the Drummer, that is the point.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Wish we got one with the artwork

Brilliant ypuxx

atta boy, NICO!

It's only a few months(?) when he switched to Sonor when he told us how glad he was to be with them. But it seems that Maiden and Sonor are partners and this is for 'other occasions'

as the years go by nicko starts to look more and more like EDDY..lol

He is the man !

Most likable drummer in the history of music? I think so! One of the best and most unique as well!!

Ok ok send me one. Exact replica. Thanks. When will it be here?

He changes kit s like the weather, so much for loyalty to Sonor?

As he said it is his mistress, but he still has the custom Sonar kit that is epic. I know I bought the kit except they would not sell me the 8X8 tom that really pissed me off. I have his kit and my Rolands that basically surround me where I crawl in and out . I love the drums Not sure I will go and sell my sonars because I love my kit and at 14+ thousand US dollars I am kinda stuck. The kit he rep'ed looks amazing but with all my cymbals where I am way heavy than him I am not sure it makes sense. Oh and yes I use double base drum beater unlike him 12 piece Sonar drum kit Roland 8 Piece TD-30KV 26 Total Cymbals both Roland and Piaste and Still building new to come will be both Roland TD-30KV Pro and TD50 Pro Deciding on adding more cymbals or not takes up so much room you would really hate it. I know the wife hates it somedays when I have to clean and dust the set and vacuum the area in a bedroom.

So much for Sonor. Anything for a quid.

I'd like to hear about the new album Nick up the IRONS

any pricings out for the casino hardware yet? or too early to get an RRP?

I'm afraid to ask how much???

How much???

Where in Florida does he live?

I love this guy

Thought he was with sonar?

I thought he was with Sonor?

He isn't with Sonor drums anymore?

Wow. Mr McBrain starts to be in the same league with Vinnie Colaiuta and Carmine Appice for changing endorser as many times as possible. It's a great looking kit though

Why would you leave Sonor, that's a shame

I would like to see this in white, it would look like Icarus feather wings

Haha that was Al Murray in the background.

Disappointed he didn't stay with Sonor long....

An Iron side of Maiden!!

What a load of boloney, friendly and professionally presented though. :-D

Private playing kit thten

Glad this isn't an IRON MAIDEN kit. So, does that mean he is still with SONOR? Hope so! $1,200 for the snare alone.

Isn’t he with sonor

I love Nicko, but there's no way I'm leaving Sonor for BDC if I were him. Don't care if it they are from my home country. Sonor drums are light years ahead in quality and sound than 95% of their competitors.

Beautiful drums, but seem overly complicated to me.

Al Murray in the background....

still do not understand why he bolted from Sonor so quick...he had just been back with Sonor after he had switched from Sonor many yrs ago...wtf???

He changes drum company more often then I change drumheads...

Cool stuff, although I thought he was with Sonor.

Why didn’t he play?? Wtf.

perhaps a pair of dice would have suffice?

The stands alone are out of price range :)

Who the hell tells off Nicki Mcbrain?

That drum kit’s so stunning yet looks so uncomfortable to play, don’t know how he does it.

Only one man places that ride cymbal in that ridiculous position

Amazing how Nicko still has hair like he did since the 70's, while Lars has 5% left. Lol

NIcko sounds like Liza Doolittle's father in My Fair Lady.

Nicko switched his drum brand again, and so soon, wow.. I guess if he switches to Sabian tomorrow, I will lose track of what and why is going on completely .. I mean, great drums are these though, congrats

He swapped that for Sonor? Must be joking...

Painfully expensive.... Just the snare is 1200£..

No more Sonor... Mmmm... Brexit???

"Hey, i'm Nicko McBrain and i switch drum companies every few years"

Why why, sonor is much better

Its a problem " Made in britain " ist not the same as " made in germany " the whole world know that. The German cars are netter and the drums also Sonor is a heavyweight in drums production

I would have stuck with sonor,,Iv seen this stuff on ebay,Well over priced,,Nicko great felle,yr orite son,,boys and girls,,,Can get on yr pip,Like sonor are much better,by far,i think this is made in England,so pretty good chance it will fall to bits,,sorry to say,,,I live in Essex England,BTW,,Nick great sales man X,last vid I see he was selling 2 bottles of troper for price of one,at his rr ribs gaff,keep safe x.

BDC won’t last and Nico will jump ship again and again, no loyalty. How can Phill Rudd be with Sonor for decades?
