Aric Improta | 15 Drummers Interpret: "Chops"

I'm stoked to share the 2nd installment of the "Interpretations Project: CHOPS."
Each drummer was asked to record their individual interpretation of “chops” at 120 BPM. After all videos were submitted, the band Night Verses organized the recordings and composed music to fit the piece as a cohesive song. The drummers had no musical reference before hand or any idea what the other drummers recorded.
This is video 2 of a 4 part project that was filmed a year and a half ago. Its taken sometime to edit, compose and update since then, but the other installments will come out soon.
Huge thank you to: Adam, Alex, Anup, Troy, Charlie, Ian, JP, Garrett, Elmo, Craig, Brody, Krimh, Joe, Josh, Nick and Reilly

JP Bouvet's groove was SICK

[@UnclePa1n]

Every single drummer killed it! Amazing as always

[@dafi723]

Up for Troy Wright!

[@alexandermesiti]

That was great! I only wish Travis Orbin would have been asked to film a part.

[@mariomartins6960]

You might of missed the part where Aric Importa is light years ahead of all the other drummers and the other drummers are no slouches.

[@FanaticDrummer]

Had no idea Troy was the drummer for Plini lol Well that makes sense now, totally dig the grooves on the album.

[@vnliketheocean9531]

It's really very interesting to see completely different styles of drummers playing in the same song! great job in making them a coherent song too!

[@genesis_tracks]

I seriously didn't expect to see Brody in here! He still killed it. In fact, y'all did. Big ups.

[@jw600]

Wow! Amazing - all of them.

[@Bigchangus666]

JP Bouvet killed it.

[@calebamoore]

Jan Iser I totally agree with you

[@jimbark4642]

This was soooooooo friggin bad azz! Thanks to all involved. Wow

[@kayzteef]

I could watch this over and over

[@nietsrac]

Stoked to see Troy Wright in there.

[@Bootjack]

Damn, it ended. :(

[@axel.lessio]

You all played insane chops, though I have the feeling Josh Manuel is the only one who also focused on making the groove sound amazing with his beat. That's what world-class drummers do, they make songs sound better.

[@Mincraftia100]

The drummer did not hear the songs before recording. They just recorded chops to 120bpm

[@axel.lessio]

@@Mincraftia100, thanks, I totally missed that part. In that case yes, it makes very little sense to judge how well the grooves fit the music. They all did an amazing job either way!

[@Lynneheal]

Brilliant thank you from me in the UK. DRUMS I love the most.

[@justinbogh]

This is soooooooo good. Much love to all of you!

[@de-ja-vu]

This is some of the sickest stuff ever, I wish I could be apart of something like this! Awesome community.

[@nadiabu4588]

What a great idea! Thanks, Aric! I liked Ian Chang the most, he sounded the darkest for me btw))

[@samproctor8421]

[@andree182]

quite a bit less "musical" than the first incarnation, but great stuff nonetheless!

[@aricimprota]

If you read the description, they were asked to give their interpretation of "chops." The music was added after. So they literally just chopped to a 120 click and Night Verses put it together into a song. The last video was groove and the next 2 are "Creativity" and "Intensity."

[@curtyfranck2511]

hello pretty pictures on tom or I can buy them thx dude

[@theheritic209]

k now throw me in this

[@gabrieldiasx]

[@blackburn932]

Not near as cohesive as the last but still top notch drumming all around. Good stuff.
