Nick D'Virgilio uses a DW Collector's Series Drum Kit, as he states in a video: "I have my DW Collectors Maple Mahoganys with me on tour. I get to take my own drums, which is pretty spoiling because I usually have to use backline, so I'm happy I get to use my own drums. 6.5x14 matching snare, 12x9... 12x8 I think... I think it's a 12x8 (rack tom), 16x16 and 18x16 (floor toms). Kick drum is 22x18." (Source: Nick D'Virgilio - Rig Rundown For Mr. Big US Tour 2024, YouTube).

2:38 "Sabian is spoiling the hell out of me for this tour, and other things, and they just sound great, and they're so play. Lot's of nuance in the cymbals even for a rock gig like this, so I'll just take you around from left to right. HHX Evolution O-Zone 18", an HHX Complex Thin Crash 18, an AA Raw Bell 18, this guy right here gets the bulk of the hitting throughout the gig. It's a nice rock and roll cymbal. 14" Anthology Low Bell Hi-hats, my ride is a 22" AAX Medium Ride, I have an HHX Complex Thin 19, so an 18 on the left, 19 on the right. Few of the brand new Stratus line of cymbals; Stratus 20" Crash, I can't get that out of my mouth, and then I have the Stratus 18" Zero Crash with the 18" China on the bottom for my stack. And then, maybe my favorite cymbal of all here is the HHX 20" Zen China with rivets in it, so this just reminds me of Phil Collins, like 'Seconds Out' era china sound."
