Look for the video of him soloing between 2 kits where he does front flips over both sets of toms/snares to get to the other drum throne. It's gimmicky, but his chops are off the charts to go with it.

He is creative and wild at the same time, check out Exu between him and Justin Chancellor from Tool. BTW if you wanna see how he plays with a band, Night verses are really good

This guy has a series on his own KZread channel called “attention deficit drumming” he really pushes the boundaries of modern drumming in these videos. I think you’d really enjoy them even if you don’t react to them

So glad to see you getting around to Aric! Copper Wasp is my personal favorite by him and his band night verses, hope a patreon will request that one soon :D

You finally got to Aric Improta. Good stuff. This was some impressive showmanship but you should really take a look at his personal KZread channel for some of the craziest stuff you've ever seen. Also his band Night Verses has some great tracks. It's always hard to define someone as the best as music is a subjective thing but for my money this guy is the best drummer to ever exist. Not just a generational talent but the G.O.A.T.

If you want to treat yourself listen to Aric Improtas "Blur-Lights in the Videodrome" solo. I saw it live when it was first performed, what a piece. It's probably to long for this format, but imho it's the best drum solo ever created.
