Aquiles Priester Drum Cam Playing W.A.S.P. Chainsaw Charlie (Murders in the New Morgue)

[@JMal883]

This guy is a Metal Machine. Simply amazing drumming.

[@allencastleman7617]

OUT-FUCKING-STANDING !! I haven't heard anyone play that since it was recorded !! And that's one beautiful drumkit. Can't say you're not dedicated. You definitely need a record deal. BRAVO !!

[@Cognitively_m_paired_4_Kamala]

Unfortunately, he'll probably be listed as a hired gun.

[@bearinthewoods3]

Hes been the drummer fkr WASP for YEARS​@Cognitively_m_paired_4_Kamala

[@firestorm996]

Even as a guitarist for me the drums are the star of the show on most of the Crimson Idol. Back in the day it showed me the difference that epic drums could make. You nailed it brother, amazing playing that pleases the metal gods 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻😎😎😎

[@velosouk]

Agreed! \m/

[@zerpblerd5966]

not the vocals? I find the compositions pretty complete

[@firestorm996]

@@zerpblerd5966 you are absolutely right, the vocals, the guitars and the overall theme and compositions are all amazing. It’s a very complete album from start to finish. But it was the first record where I really noticed the drums despite being a guitarist who tends to only hear the guitar most of the time 😂😂

[@zerpblerd5966]

@@firestorm996 awesome! love when that happens

[@tomhafke4405]

Killer drum kit! Saw them in Tempe AZ in Oct. Super tight playing! Also, this song is a testament to what Frankie Banali's talent was outside of Quiet Riot. His drumming for W.A.S.P. was phenominal!

[@hugovega8941]

Temazo

[@user-dd7pq2to3o]

Crimson idol is one of the greatest drum performances ever

[@CalmBrook]

Aquilest's drumming for w.a.s.p. is by far the best in 30 years. Solid, groovy, perfect timing and full sound.

[@WASPwarrior1982]

@@user-dd7pq2to3o Agreed. 💖 🤘

[@WASPwarrior1982]

I agree. I think Frankie Banali would have been proud! We miss you Frankie!😢💔 💖 🤘

[@juuhaa1]

Hard hitting drummer🤘 The perfect drummer for the Wasp lineup

[@joesilva8484]

Man every time I watch Aquilies playing the drums he always amazes me. This guy is an unbelievable drummer. Way to go Priester keep jamming on those drums 👍🤘.

[@wirefly1000]

I’ve listened to this song driving around and have always been in awe. Now after I’ve gotten the visual I’ll see this every time the song comes around. F…kn awesome!

[@dubbct1589]

beating them cymbals like they owe him money!! brilliant. love the kit, and his playing

[@richardturk7162]

Frankie Banali and Bob Kulick made Crimson Idol the masterpiece that it is. I have been a huge WASP fan since the 80s. Even met Randy Piper one time.

[@briantolley854]

Been a fan since I was 13.. 51 now! Saw them in slc for the crimson idol 30yr tour. Front row...got a autographed ticket stub from Chris holmes love wasp, all versions

[@mortenhyvejle]

I'm jealous

[@astrozombie138]

holy shit. IF you guys haven't seen W.A.S.P. play live with Aquiles I feel sad for you. probably one of the best live shows I've seen in years. AP NAILED it , dude is a beast!

[@michaelbaker3598]

Havent seen aquiles...saw wasp last week with armored saint...hell of a show

[@michelelaraia7358]

Meaning eagles in spanish?

[@darrenm5239]

200% I was blown away. I still can feel the drums going thru me. It's been a week. Don't miss this show.

[@tojorozombie]

That was perfection In it’s execution, Sir!!🔥😎👍 Thanks for the share!🤘

[@austinengelking8158]

This is really good. Aquiles never disappoints. It's really good to see hard rockin drummers cover other hard rockin drummers songs. The best form of inspiration and compliment. Let's see more of this!

[@benesouza5371]

my favorite wasp song

[@Dedwood_1]

I check back in on this one from time to time to watch the AWESOMENESS ! ! ! The Song, The talent and THAT KIT lol 🤩I will say it again... OUTSTANDING !

[@sandracarter7231]

Aquiles is a BEAST! ❤️

[@velosouk]

Frankie Banali was such a great drummer! It's nice that he had a career broader than Quiet Riot so that he could show all his musicianship. Sure Priester is up to the task of honouring him. 🤘

[@WASPwarrior1982]

Fuckin amazing! I think Frankie Banali (RIP 🕊️) would be proud! Thrilled the Nation is showcasing him in some videos! He's a beast behind that kit! 💖 🤘

[@rikvartigyan2667]

I saw WASP in Boston. Everyone lifeless, just wanting to stand around like card board cutouts & observe. It's wasn't until this song was played, near the end of the set the mosh pit FINALLY broke out. It's now one of my favorite WASP songs.

[@WASPwarrior1982]

🤩😁 My sis & BIL were there too. Awesome show but, would have been better without the pillars. Sadly they didn't have VIP accomodations. Still a kick ass show. 💖 🤘

[@grahamlangford4031]

Wow!! Unbelievably good, I never fully appreciated how complex the drumming is for this song until seeing this, bloody amazing drummer!!

[@MrSpaceace66]

wow amazing. and the sound the toms put off .that deep sound. luv it

[@Dedwood_1]

OUTSTANDING ! I have always been a W.A.S.P fan.

[@fabienlamour3644]

Always the same power!!! No matter what he plays. One of the very best ever.👏👏👏👏👏

[@zenon1970crue]

I need to see this show live!!!! I have always liked WASP, and admired Aquiles, and now together, awesome!!!!

[@Bradbull111]

Oh My God!!! This is fucking amazing, the hairs on my arm are standing up.

[@husqv5147]

Gorgeous kit! Crazy good drummer!!

[@NonFiqShun]

I literally think this is the best tuned kit I’ve ever heard and each cymbal has its own beautiful brilliance and the RUDE just has a more bold vibe I met I can tell every single piece was made meticulously for sound and it’s hard to express how truly fantastic it is if you don’t know WHY he made those choices. I get drum videos all the time and I clicked on this cuz the set is obviously so damn massive and just looks good at the same time but I wasn’t expecting to listen to the whole thing and listen to the spectrum of the cymbals, the ABSOLUTE perfect tuning of every single damn drum lol…too good man. 😢

[@rossanomacchioni1495]

Great album 1992 the Crimson Idol, masterpiece of Blackie Lawless, Wasp.

[@warrgri]

I love his power and speed. Dudes a beast. Saw him last December

[@philipberry1349]

I've watched this dozens of times, I'm almost hypnotized watching him

[@dwaynerudkavitch5307]

wow. never realized how brutal the drumming was on this song. plus his style totally takes it over the top.

[@kepler240]

Ole country boy from Tennessee is seriously impressed. Love the overhead shots.

[@Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

FS. He's not even knackered afterwards ! Awesome job.

[@pacomaldonado9316]

Ooohhh my god .... my favorite song of WASP ... awesome version ...

Parabéns ao Aquiles e ao WASP!!! Melhor baterista de todos os tempos!!! Arrebenta Aquiles!!!

[@drew-shourd]

Retired professional drummer here, when a drummer is wearing gloves, you know it's time to buckle up, when it's Priester you better crazy glue your ass to the chair!!

[@villetre]

Just saw Wasp. ❤ Awesome.

[@diyfitness50]

Why is this guy so mad at his drum kit? He literally beats the shit out of it for over 7 minutes. This might be the most awesome drum playthrough I've seen and I've watched a few.

I bet he was glad that song was nearly 8 minutes long. Jesus christ on a bike, I'm almost out of energy just sat watching. Fair play. Biggest drum kit I've ve ever seen mind. I wonder if it has its tour bus

Dang nice kit man nice mix great playing !!!

2:42 Hitting those toms with his left hand while using his right for the cymbals is bad ass....then hitting 5 of them.

[@CapellaOnDrums]

The Best Drummer!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Shaft-Industries]

And to think he was invited by Dream Theater to audition for Mike Portnoy's vacancy says alot about his ability.

[@Ausemere]

Mike saw all the concerts Angra did opening for them (2005 I think) from behind Aquiles', and that's the reason DT invited Aquiles. They figured if Portnoy liked him, they should give him a chance.

[@Shaft-Industries]

@@Ausemere Cool. I did not know that.

[@neilbolger2679]

Awesome . Just absolute awesome . Blackie Lawless would I'm sure say a great deal more in appreciation of someone like this

[@Shaft-Industries]

@@neilbolger2679 I agree.

[@robybomber4733]

His drumming is very musical and I like it, but honestly he's a span below all the others, technically speaking!!
