Aquiles Priester’s Top 100 Drum Fills DVD - Coming Soon!

First he demonstrated his refined technique in “Live in Concert – Inside My Drums” (2004). Then he revealed some double bass secrets (and much more) in "The Infallible Reason of My Freak Drumming" (2010), voted third best educational DVD of 2011 by Modern Drummer Magazine.

Now it is time for Aquiles Priester, acclaimed as one of the best heavy metal drummers of the world for over a decade, to reveal some more of his secrets on video. "Aquiles Priester's Top 100 Drum Fills" begins with a selection of fills he recorded for various projects he took part in with Hangar, Angra and Freakeys. Others were created during the recordings and, because they were interesting ideas, were also included in the DVD. All this resulted in 150 fills, 100 of which were chosen for this video you have (or will soon have) in your hands. Another 25 - themes with Hangar, Tony MacAlpine and Midas Fate - were included as bonus material.

All of the fills were recorded in much slower tempos than the original versions to facilitate the accompaniment and understanding of everything done by Aquiles. The video was recorded in Full HD and with GoPro cameras, the latest in video technology. The video was directed by Daniel Piquê and the recording took place at Mr. Som studio (SP) with co-production by Marcello Pompeu and Heros Trench.

Aquiles Priester has been voted “Best Heavy Metal Drummer in Brazil” for 12 consecutive years, 5th “Best Progressive Metal Drummer” by the readers of Modern Drummer Magazine, and is the first Brazilian heavy metal drummer to play at the Modern Drummer Festival and Montreal Drum Fest in 2011. Aquiles provides valuable insight into his playing in 100 chapters filled with technique, speed, precision and creativity. (Antonio Carlos Monteiro - Roadie Crew Magazine).
