Nick D’Virgilio - a little pre soundcheck drum jam - Mr Big “The Big Finish” tour
Музыка
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!

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!!!

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...

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).
Bello.💯💯🌡️💯🌡️💯

Hey Nick! Great playing as usual. Curious about what two cymbals you're using in that stack? Thanks!
@NDVirgilio

They are the new Stratus line. The ZERO crash and the China stacked on eachother. Great sound and feel for a bigger stack
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!
@NDVirgilio
5 ай бұрын
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!
