Yes, you need to prime new drywall before painting.

There are lots of perfectly good drywall primers, but go ahead and use SW if you've got a good store nearby.

When you're faced with a new, unpainted surface, remember: You only have one chance to do it right. SW will recommend a sealer that is compatible with their flattest finish.

I agree with Dr. Hicks and Mr. Paint. Priming is ideal before painting, although, I'll admit, I have painted textured ceilings without priming first. Working for some general contractors who were cutting corners makes you do things you don't want to do sometimes. I would recommend Brilliance from SW although I am not as happy with it as I was with Classic 99 ceiling paint. I end up with more of a streaky finish with the Brilliance........it still looks good, just not as good as I would like.

Yes you need to prime it! I would use 95-102 pre-cote from Kelly-Moore
it is a great primer for new dry wall. And it cost less then SW.
Aw shoot you no were close to a Kelly-moor paint store Go to SW you will be very happy. And stay a way from PVA primers.
