Aquiles came to my country in 2013 and did a drum clinic. For a couple of songs, he called some of the public to stand behind him and I was lucky to be selected! I cannot describe how insanely hard this guy hits. I've seen plenty of drummers go at it. But he's just on another planet. Every single hit you could feel in your chest. Bass drum hits crushed your skull, even when going fast. And when he hit those big ass floor toms I could feel my chest compress. He went through a pair of those thicker than 2B drum sticks every couple of songs because they exploded in the middle, and had to retune his snare every single song. This guy is the real deal. The only one I can say really puts the _power_ in Power Metal drumming. His life story is also very inspiring. He basically had no talent for the drums. And due to sheer power of will and dedication, he managed to get good. He moves to a cabin in the woods and practices for 10 hours a day before every tour or album recording. Truly a life inspiration for me. Please check more of his stuff!
Aquiles has played for Angra and toured with DragonForce, he has his own band called Hangar and replaced Frankie Banali (RIP) as the drummer for WASP. He was also the mentor of Sepultura's drummer Eloy Casagrande. He's one of my all-time favourite drummers, I've been playing as long as he has and was never 1/2 as good as he is, he's a true master.
Frankie Banali had been long gone before he joined WASP. He was replacing Mike Dupke, who just left walls without any kind of true explanation as to why from either side
I personally met Aquiles a few times in my life, have a lot of things signed by him, apart from being a great drummer, he’s a very accessible guy, great fun, and a very expensive teacher kkkkkk
Priester is crazy good, one of the very best power metal drummers out there today. The power, energy, and musicality of his playing is *always* on point. He can bust out some crazy technicality too when the music calls for it. You can never go wrong watching his stuff!
You should check out The Shadow Hunter or Sprouts of Time (both songs from the same album as Temple of Hate) for a bit more variety in the drumming. Angra incorporate a lot of traditional Brazilian music into their sound which isn't really on display in this song but makes for some very cool contrast in those songs mentioned. The whole band is incredibly talented, but there's a reason why Aquiles was one of the few invited to audition to be Mike Portnoy's replacement in Dream Theater.
Aquiles was a serious contender for the next Dream Theater drummer gig. In fact, I believe given a different time and evolution of DT, that Aquiles would have been selected. Props for taking a closer look at Aquiles Priester!
That was not a real audition. It was a youtube pr show. They have been friends for years before. They knew he was getting the gig before the so called try out.
I don't believe for one moment that andy has never heard of Aquiles or ever heard him perform. That's like saying you are a drummer and drum teacher and never heard of Peart . It's all bs to get the views.
Andy! Finally got to Aquiles! Check out his playthrough of Angra’s Angels and Demons. Also, isn’t it about time you finally got to Mike Mangini? His new sped-up practice rehearsal of The Alien by Dream Theater is really mind-blowing. 🤯
Holy Shit this guy is fire!! My favourite part is where he down shifts slightly at around 6:46 and turns it into a speed metal waltz. It is a small part but adds so much
Love me some Achilles, with any of his acts, Angra, Edu Falaschi's solo albums (2nd vocalist for Angra they did 3 albums with Angra and 2 studio and one live album for Edu's solo project) or Hanger. I'd love to see you do a reaction to another track from this DVD/album called Winds of Destination. It goes as fast as Temple of Hate at times, but has more compound and mixed meter passages and a lot more intricate cymbal work, including a jaw dropping 20 second section where he does a psychotic sticking pattern bouncing between hi-hat, china, and snare at about 160bpm. My own brain checked out and gave me the metaphorical finger just from trying to chart that part out.
Ah nice, I just suggested him yesterday (but a different, more recent performance) under the Kai Hahto upload. Now I get to see my two favorite drummers in 24 hours. :-D Thanks!
Someone uploaded it to UA-cam a few years back (it's since been removed) and I watched it multiple times because I couldn't believe so much of the stuff that he was doing! Fantastic video featuring one of the best power drummers around. Bar none.
I always used Paiste cymbals, the 2000 Series which has also been used almost exclusively by Alex Van Halen, but those Colorsound 900s look sweet, I'd want them in red, Tama drums in white...they'd match my dream car, a 1963 Corvette Stingray rear split in white with a red interior. Chip Foose did an amazing redesign drawing of one in metallic blue and silver. Oh yeah, Aqulies has a lot of covers, he's been part of WASP since Frankie Banali died in 2019 and has a great cover of Chainsaw Charlie off WASP's The Crimson Idol which features the late, great Frankie at his very best, a must-hear for any drummer.
Oh yes! Can't wait to watch that! He's one of my favorites! EDIT: Loved your reaction! There are so many other videos of him that I personally love, such as "The Glory of the Sacred Truth", "Winds of Destination", "Angels and Demons", "Spread Your Fire", just to name a few! You're in for a ride with Aquiles haha!
So many orchestration ideas... Andy, Angra was the first of the great neoclassical shred power metal bands of the 90's, they have more orchestration ideas in any single song than any pop record since Queen.
Good GOD, Man!! You are right! The HQ video on his channel from 09/2020 is madness! 3.45 - 4.00 is LIMB. INDEPENDENCE. The no-look china is just too much... (edited to remove automatic time coding to this video :P)
WHOA!! That drum presentation was nucking Futz!! It is enough to get tired looking @ Aquiles play! So many Great drummers out there! Not sure if you recall but, there was this band called Love. I heard it on a quadraphonic stereo that someone purchased @ a garage sale. He played me this band called. Albert Lee's Love and there was this wyld drum solo. Not sure if the song is called"She comes in coulours" drum solo also with a water plate gong or was that something else. Sounded like someone playing a saw. lolz. Scott Rockenfield, Nicko McBrain, Tommy Aldridge and Terry Bozzio playing his who knows how many drums he has now, let alone set up!
*_He is ALWAYS 100 Percent FULL Throttle... have never seen him get tired._* This is actually a SMALLER Kit than normal. He is known worldwide for his DOUBLE Kick. First time I saw him play, I lost count how many total drums; Snares, Toms, Kicks, and lots of Cymbals. ALL color coded RED including his Shoes. His ability to completely synchronize all 4 limbs is stunning. His ability to play all 4 limbs independent of the others is equally amazing. It is hard to even pick words to describe his performances, each one totally unique. I played during the 80's in Seattle. On my best days I was 10 percent of his worst day. I wonder if he is even human, so perfect and precise. *_He is among the TOP Drum gods to ever play..._*
Aquiles is a freaking monster! Truly one of the greatest Metal drummers from Brazil. I just thought, you really need now to react to a german Black Metal band called, Der Weg einer Freiheit, you would be so impressed by him and his blast beats, reacting here would be amazing, but if not, just listen to his band, and there is a lot o drum playthroughts as well, the drummer is beyond impressive!
Essa música faz parte do álbum Temple of Shadow, um dos melhores disco de heavy metal da história, apesar de não ser tão conhecido no mundo. E o Aquiles é o gênio criador das linhas de bateria que são incríveis, o cara merece destaque.
Speaking of Aquiles Priester, it would be cool to see you react to the Dream Theater drummer auditions for Mike Portnoy's replacement. Long videos so you'd have to edit quite a bit, but even just to watch for yourself if you haven't seen them, they're very well produced and super interesting to watch.
I've listened to this song (and the entire album) many times, but I don't play any instrument so this is the first time I've learned all the nuances of the song. Much appreciated! This is how a reaction channel should be. I was going to suggest you BAND-MAID, but I did a quick search and you already heard them. How about Volodia Schneider's cover of "Heartbeats" by The Knife? It's my favorite drum cover on UA-cam. (づ￣ ³￣)づ Oh and btw, this dude was among the 7 selected to audition to Dream Theater. It's because Angra opened to DT in 2004/2005 and Portnoy loved Aquile's drumming, and would sit behind him to watch, which made Aquiles nervous during the concerts LOL.
If I'm not mistaken, he actually toured with Iron Maiden for a while. Maybe on a South American leg or something *I looked and it is W.A.S.P. he has been touring with since 2017*
One hell of a drummer to much speed work for me maybe just to busy here but this guy did try out for Dream Theatre when they were holding drum auditions. Very nice guy!

🥁☕🙌
Know that he's one of Eloy Casagrande's teachers/mentors? There's something magic about Brazil and its ability to produce monster drummers.
Oh wow! I didn't know that. Thanks for the great info
There's others....Bruno Valverde, Alexandre Aposan..., Eloy Casagrande.....they're incredible drummers! Just check the names...and enjoy!
@@joelcaraujo Bruno Valverde 🤯 another brilliant one for Andrew to appreciate.
And not forget Korzus drummer, Marcos Oliveira, Francis Cassol, from Rage in My eyes...several....cheers from CV Islands
@@aidzdrums Eloy Casagrande and Bruno Valverde studied in the same class at school. =D
my friend and I used to say "A metronome uses Aquiles Priester" The guy is just a machine
I'm fairly certain Aquiles was still in diapers when people were saying the same thing about Neil Peart.
Aquiles came to my country in 2013 and did a drum clinic. For a couple of songs, he called some of the public to stand behind him and I was lucky to be selected!
I cannot describe how insanely hard this guy hits. I've seen plenty of drummers go at it. But he's just on another planet. Every single hit you could feel in your chest. Bass drum hits crushed your skull, even when going fast. And when he hit those big ass floor toms I could feel my chest compress.

This dude is a MONSTER. One of the hardest-hitting drummers I’ve ever heard, and endurance for days.
listen The Ancestry! Insane song Aquiles
right
We need a Bruno Valverde review Andrew
Aquiles has played for Angra and toured with DragonForce, he has his own band called Hangar and replaced Frankie Banali (RIP) as the drummer for WASP. He was also the mentor of Sepultura's drummer Eloy Casagrande. He's one of my all-time favourite drummers, I've been playing as long as he has and was never 1/2 as good as he is, he's a true master.
Worth mentioning also auditioning to Dream Theater.
Also, rumors says he is an asshole. Just saying.
Frankie Banali had been long gone before he joined WASP. He was replacing Mike Dupke, who just left walls without any kind of true explanation as to why from either side
Aquiles es una máquina, en general ese disco de Angra es notable. Saludos
Gracias Oscar!
@@kookoo9235 Tienes toda la razón, por eso vine a ver este video de nuevo 😂
Aquiles is giant. A humble guy with perfect technique and a great supporter of Brazilian drummers, with a very inspiring life story.
Humble...loool
@@miguelalmeida5806 humble looooooooooooool
Prazer em conhecê-lo senhor, apresento-lhes um dos nossos monstros da bateria 🇧🇷
🇿🇦 🇧🇷
Aqui é Brasil porra !!!
Quase entre do Dream Theater, Brasil é foda véi
Os gringo chora com o nosso Aquiles hahahahah 🤌🏾
Aquiles é fera demais!
Priester is a beast, super clean, creative and great energy.
Couldn't agree more!
I personally met Aquiles a few times in my life, have a lot of things signed by him, apart from being a great drummer, he’s a very accessible guy, great fun, and a very expensive teacher kkkkkk
He's worth it!
Any Angra album with Aquiles on drums is amazing. I recommend COLOR BLIND - HANGAR, it has some great groove ideas and orchestrations
The Lamborghini of Drum kits and cymbals. He’s a Incredible musician I can’t comprehend 90 percent of what he’s doing. Mind blowing !
Priester is crazy good, one of the very best power metal drummers out there today. The power, energy, and musicality of his playing is *always* on point. He can bust out some crazy technicality too when the music calls for it. You can never go wrong watching his stuff!
Aquiles is a excellent drummer, such a beast playing on just gorgeous kits.
Yesssss
The double pedal endurance master 🤘💪🏼👏🏼
Good god!
INSANE George
@@AndrewRooneyDrums there are so many great drummers and videos that we need a century to watch and love each one of them 🤘🤷🏽♂️😂
@@G_marge21 I agree.
Only scraping the surface here.
Aquiles is a monster. He combines speed and power and all that jazz.
You should check out The Shadow Hunter or Sprouts of Time (both songs from the same album as Temple of Hate) for a bit more variety in the drumming. Angra incorporate a lot of traditional Brazilian music into their sound which isn't really on display in this song but makes for some very cool contrast in those songs mentioned.

Aquiles Priester did a sick cover of Gene Hoglan’s (Death) “Symbolic”. Anybody that can tastefully embellish the work of Gene is aces in my book.
That was f’d up. This guy utterly destroys anything in his path.. So clean as well!
Thanks for this one! !
Clean is the word for him Adrian. Crazy facility on display
Aquiles is a genius, hugs from Brazil
Hugs from NZ!
Andy! Finally got to Aquiles! Check out his playthrough of Angra’s Angels and Demons. Also, isn’t it about time you finally got to Mike Mangini? His new sped-up practice rehearsal of The Alien by Dream Theater is really mind-blowing. 🤯

Hangar is his band.
Ah nice, I just suggested him yesterday (but a different, more recent performance) under the Kai Hahto upload. Now I get to see my two favorite drummers in 24 hours. :-D Thanks!
Glad to finally check out this monster player!
He's got a drumming DVD out from years ago called The Infallible Reason of My Freak Drumming. Definitely worth checking out.
Someone uploaded it to UA-cam a few years back (it's since been removed) and I watched it multiple times because I couldn't believe so much of the stuff that he was doing! Fantastic video featuring one of the best power drummers around. Bar none.
O mais incrível é ele ter composto está maravilha
Era muito difícil o Angra acompanhar esse cara
🤯🤯🤯 dude is phenomenal 🤙🏻🤙🏻 my goodness he gets a full body workout every time he plays 💪🏻🦵🏻 awesomeness
One of the best Drummer ever..!!!!
Yes!!!! Finally!!!! So pumped for this one!!!
Great James!
Favorite drummer to watch perform & best backbeat in the biz.
Toda vez que vejo o Aquiles tocar me sobe uma adrenalina inexplicável!

My pleasure!
I dig it James. Crazy facility this player
from 1:52 to 2:19 is the look of hopes and aspirations slowly melting away.LMAO love it ....another great drummer hadn't realized you reacted to him.
🤣🤣
The best And creative Drummer in the World. MR @AQUILESPRIESTER.
Great reaction/ evaluation on this one. Love these prog guys. "Every hit matters".
Keep it up, mate!
Thanks Taylor!
Interesting fact, Aquiles was one of Eloy Casagrande’s first and most influential drum teachers in Brazil
Another Great Info to admire Aquiles even More. He Just Turned 50 in 2021 !!!
So many orchestration ideas... Andy, Angra was the first of the great neoclassical shred power metal bands of the 90's, they have more orchestration ideas in any single song than any pop record since Queen.
One of the best hitting drummers, he makes that snare sing.
That whole couple minutes of your look of fear at the beginning is precious!
you should react to him playing "Waiting Silence"!
Can't wait to see it Ruan
Or to “the ancestry” or to “the shadow hunter”. Both awesome songs with beautiful orchestrations
Good GOD, Man!! You are right! The HQ video on his channel from 09/2020 is madness! 3.45 - 4.00 is LIMB. INDEPENDENCE. The no-look china is just too much... (edited to remove automatic time coding to this video :P)
@@TheDmoe4000 Exactly
Absolut monster!!! Just this words translate Aquiles!!! Noooiiizzzxxxsss 🤘
Aquiles is definitely a drummer's drummer!🤘🏼💙🤘🏼
He is an absolute beast. I would suggest you check out more of his stuff. He didn't get the name Psyco Octopus for no reason
Genial ,,es un verdadero monstruo en la batería,,,muy buen video como todos 🤘😎🤘
Gracias George!
He's crazy!! All them drums and cymbals in front of him aren't just for show. He hits everything!!
Remembering Aquiles is 50 years old... O cara é bruto!!

He is one of the few drummers that Dream Theatre invited to audition for them after Mike Portnoy left.
My fav song of the album is The Shadow Hunter, he also has a playthrough of it.
I'll check it out!
Takes my breath away 💗
ayyy, it's my favourite extreme speed merchant Andy "That guy's tasty!" Rooney back with another vid :)
Real tasty! And, that drum kit, his other drum kits, I love it!
WoW. You going to show your students ... this is how become a beast watch and learn.
Andrew, listening Aquiles playing Spread your fire, than music is more dificult
The best metal drummer of South America!
É Brazuca!!!!!!!!!!! Orgulho Nacional!!! O Aquiles me representa! Parabéns!
Do you remember, oh I'd say about 20 years ago or so, you said something about doing a "Rush week"?

One hell of a drummer to much speed work for me maybe just to busy here but this guy did try out for Dream Theatre when they were holding drum auditions. Very nice guy!
Amazing player Brian!
1:50 your face is funny when you heard double bass part hahahaaa

I can see why
His independent playing is truly next level
