@AndrewRooneyDrums Man you’re still not see his best unless you watch blur lights in the videodrome PLEASE PLEASE spoil yourself and at least watch it but I’d love to see your reaction as well

The drumheads are the Remo ArtBEAT series. Different drawing for each size of head, artwork by Aric.

Thank you Lyske

That first coffee spit was epic!!!

New Night Verses album up and some new play throughs from Aric definitely worth a watch

What i really love about Aric is that he can destinguish between chops vs simple fills etc. He plays in a lot of different projects playing different types of music. His style always suits the music. Brilliant!

Aric makes me both want to start playing drums and never bothering to play drums at the same time. Dude blows my mind.

Pretty sure he draws those heads himself, he does his cymbals now too. He's got videos on his channel of him drawing the designs.

Even makes his artwork on guitars

Aric made a 40min drums- only piece of music (I don't know what to call it). Even if it's to long for a reaction video (maybe long enough for a live stream?), it's absoloutly worth checking out! Meinl Cymbals - Aric Improta - "Blur-Lights in the Videodrome"

Whenever I'm having an off day, Blur lights in the Videodrome is an instant fix.

Thanks for reminding me about these guys… haven’t listened to them for a while… great band…

Man, I'm always saying do more Aric Improta and now you have. The best thing is you seeing the talent the worst thing is now having to wait for the next 1. Cheers though.

I'm sure I'll be doing more

"Innovation" is a Very important word to use, if Aric is the topic of conversation.. Out of this world drumming..

I was hoping this video would make its way to your channel one day. Ever since I stumbled upon it myself, I’ve been following Aric closely and it didn’t take long for him to become one of my favorite drummers. His talent is just off the charts and it’s mind-blowing to watch every time.

Dave Weckl used to play percussion in parallel with his drums, 30 years ago.

Finally!!! Aric is awesome and he actually has a sea of content for you to research and react if you want.

Aric is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

That was damn cool. Not just the drumming, the whole song.

Awesome!

blur lights in the videodrome....

Hey Andrew! That was amazing! You gotta check out Matt Lynch. Watch his drum playthroughs for Humanoid, and Twisted Shadows. Enjoy.

It's finally that time. He draws his own heads

i swear - i will start drumming - because of you - Dude you are the GEM of youtube ... and ARIC - oh my god :)! dude - what is WRONG with you ! :)

Finally!

I just saw fever 333 last night and let me tell you I was amazed at how great he was he did a mini drum solo in the middle of a song had triggers going xylophone he was amazing he was the best drummer out of all the bands there talking killswitch engage slipknot code orange he really impressed me

Great to hear Charles

Innovative is definitely a great word. Like a early JoJo Mayer where it’s takes weeks to unpack it all. But he’s next level

Nice vid Andrew interesting 👍

For me Aric is the David Goggins of Drumming!! Constantly working to make the uncomfortable comfortable 👌

Yes!

I think the heads are some standard issue evans or remos, but he draws on them himself if I am not mistaken. pretty cool I find, just a birch to replicate if you break your heads or wear em down... maybe it is also layered, so they are not on the top but rather beyond? idk.

absolutely have to check out Lenny The Ox, “Magnolia” !!

He draws and remo makes special for him. Inspired by Jose Pasillas who has done similar things with heads in the past

🙌🙌🙌 The heads are his own design btw

he does the art on the heads himself.

The drum heads are his custom heads, he also designed the artwork, there are videos on Instagram of him actually drawing those things. 👌🏻

They are opening for Tool righ now in Europe.

🤯🤯🤯

Also, their entire last album was purely instrumental, you'd be surprised at how much is him. He has a plethora of amazing content, heavily suggest you dig into more of his stuff, he certainly is thinking outside the box despite how liberally that claims gets thrown around

The heads are remo. His signature line.

Excellent. Thanks Adam

what genre is this? like metal jazz death prog twister funky fusion?

They're his own custom skins I'm fairly sure.

Yeah he is good!! You should check out Matt Mcguire he is worth it. Pendulum - Voodoo People remix

I love the whole composition . It's inspiring to see so many young talented musicians ...Oh ,to be young ....and If I had half his talent I would be very happy. Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤ edit . I want some tattoed skins (thats what us old farts call heads ) on my wall as art ... see, inspiring !

If you go to his KZread page, he has short videos called Attention Defecit Drumming. In these videos you will see things never seen on drums before.

if you watch Aric, you have to do it in 60fps. lol

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Hey Andrew! Good Morning to NZ! (Here its 10:50 pm) I’m still stunned by the Meinl video. When I come home after work, when I feel to listen to music, half the time I’m listening to your channel. So, I would like to support your channel so much, it would be worth it. But I can’t. I’m a "poor" potter and father of a 14-year-old boy. I am all the more grateful, that you support us with great music and so lovely reactions. Sry. had to say that!

They are not rim hits he’s doing, they are stick clicks…

Something weird different going on. Either in my software or how it’s been recorded on their video

My only issue with this type of drumming is it is sooooo busy and all fast chops. It's great stuff, but acoustically very taxing after awhile.

@shemsuhor8763

9 ай бұрын

"all fast chops" what does that even mean. You're telling me at 4:28 when he's playing a regular kit beat with 1 hand while also playing 2 different rhythms on the drum brain, that that is "busy and all fast chops?" Yeah, Buddy Rich was "busy and all fast chops," too. Ridiculous comment.

Two words-Mike Mangini. This guy is not even close.

Mangini has the artillery but no smooth style like Aric.

TIME TO REVISIT NIGHT VERSES. NEW ALBUM IS EVEN BETTER THAN THIS.
