if you can't realize that... don't even bother making shitty statements like "i don't like this" in this video....or in anything at life for that matter: we, the rest of humanity DON'T GIVE SHIT about your thoughts and opinions towards what you don't like, keep walking, looking the other way and stick to the stuff you like... It doesn't make you cooler or better to criticize, it just makes you awfully lame stupid... Spock's Beard and Nick make something most people have forgotten: REAL MUSIC!!
...doing souless shit, and that's not what music or arts are about at all... I do like the tech side of things but there's a whole lot more to it than just that, same shit happens with people bringing down others taste in music saying shit like "prog sucks" or whatever... fine, it is your opinion and opinion are like taking a shit; everyone dumps an useless one around from time to time... Grow up a little bit douches... There is GOOD music and BAD music, same happens with musicians...
despite of whatever douchebag-like comments many people can say, Nick is just pure genius...Not because he's the most "skilled" or "tech-driven" machine alike drummer out there. There are plenty of Derek Roddys, Thomas Langs, Marco Minnemanns, Dave Weckls or so (nothing against them, they are all great) but what makes them good isn't their tech approach but their groove, their soul n' artistic feel towards music as a whole...Without it you are just a glorified MIDI programmed sequence...

I could say the same about you for liking this piece of crap .... but unlike you , i realize that people have different tastes and just because someone does not like what I like does not mean they have a problem with their ears ... it just means they dont like what I like ... regardless , this guy and this song , in my opinion , sounds like a metalhead who has a bit more going on than the average metalhead ...almost like that obnoxious and grandiose marriage of metal and classical from the 80`s
well the band is spock's beard. and what they are is progressive rock band, and opinions aside this music is not a "piece of crap" by any means. maybe you should listen to more of their music before making such assumptions and stereotypes.

I dont care who the band is or how you label their music . There`s only two kinds of music to me ...good or bad .... Honestly I just dont like this kind of music . It does not mean I am ignorant of the genre . It does not mean I have not listened enough to the band . All it means is I do not like it .
J'écris en français tu ferras l'effort de traduction: ce que je peux pas accepter, c'est les gars qui mettent pas "à mon avis" ou "selon moi" ou "je trouve que" devant une phrase et qui se contente de balancer un "worst song i have ever heard"...ce qui est quand même exagéré. Cela dit venant d'un fan de Steve Smith, que personnellement je trouve chiant comme la mort, ça m'étonne pas. Voilà, j'espère que t'as rien compris...
hahaha.... idiot! You can't judge a guy after hearing 3 minutes of drumming to a backtrack! Spock's Beard is an awesome band, espacially their records with Neal Morse. Snow is like the ultimate album, man, it's got EVERYTHING! Go buy it, and then come back here, with your fucking metal talk. Cuz this is the shit! You piss me off.....
Listen for the last time you fucking shitheads ... i do not like this music .... your arguing , case making , and even threats ( from CpEric ) will not change my mind ... I think prog rock sucked in the 70`s and i think new prog bands like Spock`s Beard suck as well ... its just not the kind of music I like and no amount of arguing or putdowns from you Spock fans will change that .
He's good, but his expression is so pompous. I mean, if I was playing for modern drummer I probably wouldn't be able to help myself, so maybe it's nothing.
What are you talking about, pooperator? Nick D'Virgilio is one of the best drummers around today. There's a reason he's been creating so much buzz lately, and this video does a decent job of demonstrating that. It's crappy audio quality, but a good performance.
needs more bass in video all hear cyblas all over hell cant mix it right dnt post it i kow u want us tohere back side how about a sub groub off the main board to cd
Yeaeaeaeaeahhhh...that's the word: groovy! This Spock's Beard guy does it great, just in line with other fabulous drummers like Vinnie Colaiuta, Morgan Agren, Dennis Chambers and....Phil Collins (his example!). Nick also did a job for Genesis and Tears For Fears by the way.
He is amazing. Even more so LIVE!

You'd think, with this type of sponsorship, he could get his hands on some better cymbals.
Maybe sone AAXs?

Real drummers choose their cymbals on individual sound. I use a few Sabian B8's because I prefer their sound.

i often think about it! why not go Z costum or A costum? but those are some good cymbals as you can hear! :D
