@Luke50001 im the same , my drum teacher made me do it for a bossanova beat and i got used to it :) i also found out NOT to do it at a concert for jazz :P i forgot and just went to it becuase it was my natural instinct
There are millions of great players out there, and they all have the occasional "totally original" moment whether it's a fill, rhythm, time sig, or whatever. But Nicko... I can't quite put my finger on it, I mean, obviously he's outrageously talented - but every bit of his playing is just so bloody unique. I mean listen to him. Regardless of how complex or simple it is. Who the hell plays like that... seriously... WHO!!?
Rntcrazy, I agree! Nicko´s face rocks at this video! I´ve lost the opportunity to meet him on monday, here at rio de janeiro. 2 days after the gig I was told that a guy I know is son of one of the promoters of the even, and took him to the backstage!!! f..hech!
This is absolutely unbelievable! He is like an absolute opposite of a rock star behavior. And he is a drummer one of the most famous metal bands on this planet.
He is SUCH a man! Character others can only dream of.

@mysteryunited A lot of people do this for a more powerful snare sound. I used to not like this but now I prefer it.

@shavethebravedave wrong...this is the cymbal you buy, hence the (4055622-1050510H) serial number...the cymbal hes playing is the cymbal your buying.

@shavethebravedave Nope. You can get the same model, but not the cymbal played and shown in this vid, thats what MDS is about.

@infectedrummer36 Endorsement reasons, He's not endorsed by the brand of drums he's playing in this video.
