good drummer, but don't think he really suits iron maiden, clive was better for them, if you want to see nico at his best, check him out with pat travers, a concert from 1976, its great
He play MUSIC...not BANG.BANG...tabarnak !!! and on Maiden he change a lot of time the way he play some parts of his song live !!! that's why he's my "teacher" since 85 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The BEST !!!!!!
I love Nicko! He plays so relaxed and with feeling! I love all of him :D And the thing I respect the most of him; one bass drum. How many heavy-drummers use just one bass drum? And he's quite fast with just one :D <3
Playing and actally coming up with drum licks are totally differnt .. and actually i highly doubt you can play like him i havnt found a single good drum cover there all completely wrong
yeah, hehe, a bit like the great Lionel Hampton who "sang" a lot next to his vibraphone and drums. =o)
Keyboard: Jon Lord (Deep Purple), guitar: Peter Woelpl (Munich), Bass: Wolfgang Schmid (Munich)... A drummer plays his soli like any other musician: he plays what he feels. WILD MAN! ;o)
It was the second of three Super Drumming sessions 1987-1989, so 1988. ;) Nicko had boring drummers like Dave Mattacks, Bill Bruford or Zak Starkey on this show, only highlight was Billy Cobham who ruled the stage! Yes, McBrain was one of the fastest single-foot bassdrum players at that time, quite rare inside all those double bassdrum players, esp. at hard rock. Good guy, friendly, but for sure no (iron)maiden anymore... ;)
Yes , van halen , he's swings like hell on the makin' magic album .
It's too bad that we can't hear his "swingin' side anymore .
Not sayin' it is easy too drum some of the Maiden songs .
