I just looked at all the topics and i dont see Nicko in there. i like maiden but im not that big a fan but i think he is great.

i also sore his clinic on dvd Rhyham of the beast where he showed us how to play most of the songs and man some of them are pretty insane!

also how fast are his feet for a single pedal if u havent listen to face in the sand or dream of mirrors LISTEN.

what do u guys think of him

he's awesome. piece of mind and powerslave are two of the best metal albums ever. he plays a lot more ride cymbal than most metal players, utilizes all those toms in a really melodic way, and has freaking awesome time and feel.

I saw maiden on the somewhere in time tour in corpus christi way back. really good show, the whole band is so on point live. they had this huge eddie that walked around on stage. it fell over at one point, and bruce dickinson had to dive out of its way when it fell. they didn't even miss a step, kept playing their asses off. some roadies came out with ropes and got eddie back on his feet. good times.

definately an awesome drummer. I think the song was either where eagles dare or 7th son of a 7th son but I loved it. talk about weird tom angles on his set though

Deicide gives me a boner.

I know, his tom heads are almost vertical! I think my three favorite drum performances by him are The Trooper, Powerslave, and Aces High.

Nicko is the man. what a drummer and a funny guy. he has the best attitude!

yeah you don't hear much about him, i wouldn't go as far as saying he was underrated but would definitely be cool to hear more about his drumming etc...

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't he play a single kick?
