Just fast lad. You want drumming that'll drive you MAD, CRAZY? Foot technique? MATT GARTSKA my friend

[@sacouto23]

Hi Pat! Congrats on your 5k subscribers. I'll give you a hint: if you wanna double the number of subscribers in a very short time, react to more Brazilian drummers. It worked for all youtubers who reacts to Brazilian musicians and bands.😉

[@MusicianMarkusRaivio]

So cool that your channel is on the elevator!!!! Congrats!!!

[@tziutattoo]

Keep putting Brazilian players reactions, and u'll see what ur channel can reach...hahaha

[@mcdcrss43]

ALEX RUDINGER does BOTH (speed and technically). Super highly recommended. And if he DOESN'T impress you??? You can BLOCK me my friend.

[@jonathancardozo]

Hi guys i'm brazilian and this guy is the only metal artist to perform over all northwest region of my country, a land abandoned by metal and here in my city he did a workshop, i guy from this dimension made a workshop in a city of 60k habitants, super professional and kind, talk to every fan, proud to us brazilian musicians and music lovers. Excuses for my english.

[@PatFlanigan]

Wow, this proves what I thought: that Aquiles is one of the nicest drummers out there! Thanks for your comment Jonathan!

[@jonathancardozo]

@@PatFlanigan you're welcome, I love your videos, congrats.

[@spaceguma]

Hi guys! I'm brazilian too, living in the middlestate of São Paulo, as a vocal an guitar player, i always loved aquiles since i met him when he starts to play with angra, went a lot of shows from them and a workshop from aquilies too, he has a flu in the day and make the workshop either way, he's one of the hardest working man on metal. On the last song he call to all the presents with his tshirt to watch the last song of the workshop from behind the drums, i never forget this, even if a wasn't wearing his tee lol. Congrats for the channel man i've love it!

[@Williamstanway]

Yes sir ,you certainly are simple then .

[@SJR_Media_Group]

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...

[@guilherme.stoppa]

Aquiles told in an interview that he almost died because of training double pedal. He once ruptured an artery in his abdomen and needed to be operated on urgently. He's an animal. A source of pride for our country! 🇧🇷

[@gabrieltc1001]

Tem gringo reagindo a brasileiros, vai ter brasileiros assistindo. Obs: KZbin me recomendou esse vídeo

[@Starfish0.]

The physical demand is really extreme, I've seen he saying in a recent interview that he loses almost 2kg per show! Like there is a plastic under his drum and in the end of the show theres a puddle of sweat there. It's insane, but his love and dedication for music is huge. He also said that now that he is at 50's he can´t just keep playing drums like this, (it had been his only exercise until now) cause he will only lose body mass, so if he wanna keep playing safely he needs to go to the gym, and he hates gym, but for the love of music and to keep playing he is doing it lol

[@felipesaints]

@@Andyw1228 I think so too, but they are different styles. But if you listen to Bruno Valverde (Angra), you will see that it already compares more with Aquiles (ex-Angra).

[@guilhermesoares319]

I like an interview where he explains how he got a great sponsor with Mapex. He said that they give him a first contract (I think one year). During this year he collected and put together an album with all the magazines, interviews, workshops, etc. that he did that year. When he meets the manager next year he asks for a better sponsor, the guy tried to negotiate, so he just dropped the gigantic album on his desk to make his point. He is a guy who know how to manage a career.

[@gldi8hr]

The main reason why he wears gloves is to prevent injures in his fingers/hands. He also does bandage under the gloves.

[@CriptoTec]

THIS IS BRAZIL !!!!! hehehe O AQUILES é um Monstro ! Toca muito e é realmente muito acima da média desses bateristas que vemos por ai... Pra mim um dos melhores Bateristas do Mundo !!! Great React Pat. Like ! 👍🏻

[@henriqueangra69]

Hello Pat, as you have already reacted to 2 great Brazilian drummers (Aquiles and Eloy), there are 3 other monsters called Igor Cavalera (Original of Sepultura), Ricardo Confessori (Original of Angra, predecessor of Aquiles) and Bruno Valverde (Current Angra and Kiko Loureiro ). Good job!

[@keen96]

Aquiles came to my country like 5 years ago, and while the clinic was riddled with technical and backstage difficulties (the event was supposed to start at 7pm, started at midnight), the guy himself was a fucking ANGEL. So incredibly nice, humble, approachable, like holy shit, it was a pleasure talking with him for sure. And let's not get into his playing, jaw hitting the floor for the whole show, ridiculous. Listen for his Hangar stuff if you haven't, really cool stuff too!

The Best Drummer of World !!!

[@juyifan7933]

Nowhere near the best. Aquiles is a great endurance/speed type drummer, he can hit the kit hard for hours straight, thats his main skillset. He doesnt have creative fills, he doesnt have ghost notes and he's only fluent in a three or so different meters. Aquiles in his prime was arguably the most athletic drummer, but he was never the best drummer.

my man Pat! your channel is growing rapidly since this popped up in my feed and I had never seen anyone react/make commentary over drumming videos like this one on Aquiles Priester, this is actually pretty cool to watch, I'm also a musician, bass player here, and have been a fan of Angra since the late 90's, this album The Temple of Shadows is just an exquisite work of art in the prog metal scene and to see channels pop up in which you talk about how demanding this type of playing is on the drums just brings me joy! you've won yourself a sub! I have met Aquiles personally too! one time he toured with Tony Macalpine and I saw them play live in Houston TX, and you're correct, he's such a relaxed layed back kinda guy, I bought a DVD of his and got it signed from him, pretty awesome evening that was!

[@bat0s4i]

I heard him say once that the hardest part of this song is that final beats when he starts to slow down the drumm but the bass drumm still kick in lightspeed

His shoes are actually made specially for him. They are made by a brazilian company called Urban Boards and they also made the Virgil Donati's and Neil Peart's drumming shoes. But this one are based on boxing shoes. Like the Everlast Force Knit, made for boxing and wore by drummers

Temple of hate is "just" an amazing song among a dozen of amazing songs. Temple of Shadows is one of the most important albums from Angra's. You must listen to Waiting Silence (the bass lines), No Pain For The Dead (nylon guitar and Brazilian style), and Late Redemption (with Milton Nascimento one of the most important Brazilian singers). Truly you must listen to the entire album of course. Aquiles is a high-level drummer. One among the few drummers with technical skills to play with Kiko Loureiro (guitar) and Felipe Andreoli (bass). Which you must listen to. Nice content, nice comments!

[@joaomatos2945]

Man, this whole album is amazing... another great song (faster, “proggier” and technical) is angels and demons which I highly recommend you watching as well!! Keep up the great work on this channel!!!
