And probably would have replaced Portnoy in dream theater if Mike Mangini wasn't a person

He’s a legendary Brazilian drummer. You have to watch him play the song “The Ancestry” and “Face of Storm”, from Edu Falaschi. It’s absolutely incredible! 👌👌👌👌
Aquiles is one of the most precise drummers out there! Happy to see Brazil so well represented -\,,/
Aquiles priester has been one of my favorite drummers for years. This dude is beast!
I got to see Dragonforce in 2020 when their drummer was sick and Aquiles was backing up for them. It even sounds this clean live. Dude is masterful.
Just watching the foot work made my calf cramp. Great job!!!
I was wondering where i heard his name and finally remembered he was in the DT audition. I also can't believe i have been listening to him for a while since i found out he's the drummer for Angra.

Former drummer , now is in the solo band of edu falasci ex Angra frontman, now in Angra you have the legend Fabio lione and the future of Brazilian drums Bruno Valverde
Mestre Aquiles representando o Brasil. Boa Mestre.
You're in for a treat with Aquiles! Check out his videos where he plays songs from his previous band Angra like The Temple of Hate or Wings of Destination! Killer drummer!
no comments on Aquiles's little bassdrum licks that are just stupid sick. I mean his fills are amazing, but the little pieces where he strays from the original drumming and adds his own flavor in on the bassdrum and the toms are really what makes him stand out. 10/10 drumming for this song.
He sat in with dragonforce for a few shows when their drummer got sick only had like a week to learn the songs before touring
Aquiles Priester was also in top 4 or drummers in audition for Dream Theater when Mike (The first) left the band.
Aquiles has been on my radar for at last a decade. He is awesome. He needs more exposure.
There is a entire DVD with this quality of execution in a lot of music to see e cry. Aquiles is a monster!
He just played in the best brazilian metal album of this milenium. Its good to know him.
Hi👋 I'm from Philippines I see Dragonforce live and they are great. Also watch achillies audition for dream theater
AP is a LEGEND !!!!! He was actually called up by John Petrucci to try out for Dream Theater when Mike Portnoy left. This guy NEVER disappoints. To think that Dream Theater thought that he has what it takes says it all !!!!!!!! AND ---- NO TRIGGERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe if you go to W.A.S.P. Nation they have a video of it's set up. Mind boggling to me! What do you do if you wind up with extra pieces after completion?!😆💖🤘
Aquiles Priester is absolutely INSANE, AMAZING and surreal. The sound pressure, the unusual speed and precision, the skill, strength and UNUSUAL RESISTANCE make them a UNIQUE drummer. Who is Mike Portnoy next to this MONSTRUOUS Achilles?? Aquiles is simply a PERFORMANCE for few, the guy is INSANE!
Now you have to watch him play Symbolic from Death, is absolutely mind blowing.

This is one of the first drummers i look on KZread back in 2011. He is insane, a pure music passionate and a very accurate ans strong drummer. I love how he's sounding. Definitely one of the bests.
Aquiles was also the drummer for WASP's 40th anniversary tour. He has played with Primal Fear.
Man, I had the opportunity to listen to Aquiles playing right beside him on a workshow he did in my city. It's scary to be that close, the power he puts into it is just beyond human.
He played live with dragon force in 2020 an amazing drummer
Aquiles gave some lessons to the great Eloy Casagrande for that modern drummer festival around 2005/06. He is a legend!
He is tha man! One of my favorite drummers to watch. Absolutely incredible.
Aquiles was invited to audition for Dream Theater when MP left. Even though he was not picked for the spot, it shows how great he is just for being there.

Even the greatest drummer in that audition did not make the cut, Virgil Donati is definitely in a league of his own
I still remember when I first saw this, I was floored. This is when Gee had to step away from touring (can’t recall why) and Aquiles stepped in. As soon as I saw that improvised fill at the beginning, I knew this cover would be epic!
The Ride is his Signature model
I seen one of his videos awhile back and I think he was using the same kit but he had all red cymbals and it looked awesome.
Aquilies is an amazing drummer, I've seen this vid of him a few times and it gives you a lift when needed, live is even faster lol. Great reaction vid too!
The A.P. has been one of my favorite drummers to watch!
he was drummer from Angra (old band of kiko loureiro before megadeth)
I met him as he was walking from the tour bus to the auditorium. He was playing for WASP and it was an incredible show. A masterclass in performance and ability. The elevation of all of Blackies songs was amazing....and he plays Paiste so there's that too!!!
His signature ride. Has one of if not the largest bell on a ride made.
Aquiles Priester has so good fills in his songs..... absolute crazy
This excellent Brazilian drummer has been playing with the band W.A.S.P. since 2017!!
You did not hear of him???? 😮 One of the best drumers in the world I think 🤘😊
That was pretty nuts! Incredible drumming! What a drummer! Nice!!!
He is unbelievable! I have never seen anyone play like him!
Angraaaaaaaaaaa🤩. He was playing with Angraaaa (Brazil). Spotted without reading the title.
My former band opened up for Dragonforce in Mexico City in 09 at Circo Volador. We were called Caustica X back then before changing the name to Anima Tempo. Unfortunately, they were doing playback but we had a beer with Herman, Sam, and Dave and all were top blokes. Saw them in 2015 again in Mexico City opening up for Kamelot.
That was a hell of a cover, fairplay to him, and I love the setup, those red skins n copper cymbals really stand out🤘😍🤘
Just go through Aquiles channel for a bit. He does a great variation of covers and HIS stuff is outstanding.
Aquiles, one of the greatest from Brazil
That rides are his signature. Its basically 18" ride with Bell from 24". Black color of lower cymbals are cause of sweat 🤷♂️😊
I been following aquiles for year's And he's dam good 👍
The small 18 rides with big bells are his signature model Paiste made for him. 😉
Wow!!! His control and speed is insane!!!
My arms hurt just watching this man! Outstanding job
I believe this is a recording of his training for the tour with DragonForce, he did some shows with the band, when the main drummer was sick. I recommend watching the video of him playing "Spread your fire" or "Temple of shadows"
Aquiles Priester is a legendary Brazilian drummer ^^]
Wow. Thick and heavy. Just absolutely amazing 😊
I've watched this one looong ago Aquiles is the perfect machine Another level to this song Also love Junna cover of this one Next one yo check Junna Through the fire and the flames
Yesss he's been around for a while! He's the man!!!
Aquiles from Brasil. He's the best. ❤ Pls react to the song "Spread your fire" Aquiles is Genius in this song
That guy is precise!
First became aware of him years ago in Brazilian stadiumn act Angra. He's done solo work and a few years back did some great playing with Tony MacAlpine. Known for everything you heard and saw right here. Tight, clean and powerful. Always has some of the most massive and best looking set-ups ever.
This is Brazil!!!!! PORRAAAAAA!!!!!
Aquilies...one of the best ever ❤😊
His set is is sick, insane amount of toms all over 🤘😎
I use to watch this guy's videos a lot .. he is awesome at his craft for sure 🤘🤘
you should check his songs with hangar, has some incredible fills and he created a way of using paraddidles to play power metal, my favorite drummer!!!!
He is a monster with 8 arms... Insane
He hits that snare with every stroke like it owes him money.
He was one of the drummers that auditioned for Dream Theater after portnoy left. It was on a video
Hi Colby, Rodrigo from Brazil here... Aquiles was called for Dream Theater auditions in 2010 to replace Portnoy, Mangini got the job, but our monster from Brazil was there and it was a honor for all drummers Brazilian nation. Aquiles has an amazing Life story.
Holy shite!!!! Thats next level . Awesome 🤟🤟👍👍👍👍
Woww that is some kick ass playing love your speed !! Awesome
This is not human.....amazing ❤
Aquiles plays fast clear and heavy 💪🦾🦵🦿
Just the brilliant and the best drumer ... ...... Respekt 👍
It's outstanding how precise Aquiles is. He puts so much force and sustain it for a long time. Other detail: he managed this song even more complex. HE'S F****NG AMAZING 🤘🏽🇧🇷🤘🏽
I love seeing stuff like this! Musicians doing their thing! Speaking of Guitar Hero 3, I remember that part of the game and my cousin could finish it on expert. One day I was watching him play and I picked up my guitar and started to play the intro of this song while he was playing it on the game… kinda pissed him off. Lmao
He was a standout in the controversial dream theater drummer audition vids. When John P commented on his blast beats, I decided it was time to learn how to blast, new chapter in my journey! Watch his studio vids, he comes absolutely unglued when he flubs a take, good times!
This dude is a monster on the drums! Amazing to watch.
I love his fills!
This Drummer is a machine
This dude is amazing. Portnoy is my favorite drummer, and Priester is number two. I was very fortunate to hear them on the same evening. MP was with Sons of Apollo, and Priester was touring with Tony MacAlpine. Just flabbergasted at how awesome the drums were that entire evening.
I forgot how much I love Mr. Priester. DAMN!
That was F-ING AWESOME!!!😆👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Legitimate drummer!
Man is amazing.👍
I've known about aquillies from Probly early 2000s. He is a mosnter player. If dream theater calls you for an audition you are automatically drum royalty. This dude always amazes me
Cannot believe you never heard of Achilles the Great. Fastest hands and feet of any drummer anywhere, not to mention the most beautiful kit I’ve ever seen.

That was fantastic!
Damn, he is still a beast! I remember Aquiles also auditioned for Dream Theater when Mike Portnoy left.
Check out Tina S. She plays a guitar cover of through the fire and flames. Herman watched it and said she killed it.
Listen to his Band Hangar. The album "the reason of your conviction" is Very good and the drum is insane. The Black paiste are Aquiles priester signature.
This is the man that tuned Eloy Cassagrande’s drums when he performed his solo at the modern drummer festival at the age of 13.
Dude where have you been you must have been living under a rock this guy's been around for a long time and he is a stud
He is the God of drums
Orgulho do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Always said that is one of the sweetest looking kits ever designed!
THAT FILL AT THE END. what a huge risk. You know he's got a lot going on in that brain of his haha. Beautiful.
that was insane ..I know who the drummer is by the way have seen a few vids of his ..very excellent ...and yes a very difficult song to play
If I ever decide to take up the drums, I’ll rewatch this video and remind myself to not even bother. Lol wicked good drummer.
