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.

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...

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

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.

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!
