Exactly. I started getting into the whole "prog metal" thing with Animals as Leaders and then started finding new stuff under reactions to Rüdinger's drumming.

Brother! We totally don’t mind you expounding on things you enjoyed after the drumming video is through - we love hearing your thoughts!

“Do you know how fucking hard that is?!” is all of us who’ve ever played drums when we watch some of these dudes play. Love it.

As insane as this playthrough is, the 40 minute solo he did with meinl is even more insane

In terms of groovability and varied tunes, not just songs about eating dead baby corpses, this guy is probably one of the best I've seen so far. Unbelievable ambidextrosity.

i agree, i follow drum stuff and do drum. maybe not as excellent as these guys but i love to have some good fun and understanding. needless to say, aric is no doubt an underdog in the community and very different. he literally drums to his own beat and comes up with things and its amazing. his creativity reminds me of how i need to be, open. anyways, he has a big channel on youtube and is a great person.

I can also attest to Aric being one of the friendliest musicians I've ever met. I got to see Night Verses at a small venue and was chatting drum stuff with him after the show. He ended up signing and giving me one of his broken sticks from the performance. I'm glad you got to witness his absolute crazy genius!

Christ on a bike, this guy is frenetic!

Sick drummer and great band

Yes finally aric!!!

That spinny hemiola text. Definitely love it. All for little improvements in production.

Have you seen the drum chain videos Aric has done where he gets multiple great drummers to compose parts and then he stitches them together into one song? I really love those.

Thank you so much for the reaction-video! With your help more or less I constantly descover new great drummers/musicians. Keep it coming! :-))

My fav drummer. Period.

You've now discovered Night Verses. As a drummer, you're not the same anymore. Transformed. Born again.

I cant remember how I found your channel, but when I did, you had just over a thousand subs at the time. Now you’re up over 40k, and you totally deserve that and more. There’s something very endearing about your videos. A lot of “reactions” by more popular channels really just ham it up as much as possible. Where as you’re completely genuine. You’ll see their kit and make comments about what you’d like to see, what you think they’re going to do, etc. They’ll do something and you’ll be like a kid in a candy store, literally asking for it to happen again. Something will amaze you and instead of just leaving it at “that was dope!” You’ll add to it. Why it’s dope, why you like it rather than just liking it. You’re actually engrossed in what you’re watching, and it’s just really refreshing and entertaining. One of my favorites for sure. Keep up the solid work, my guy.

If it wasn't impressive enugh, he draws those trippy heads himself!

I just realized that... I could of sworn he had made a comment at one time about being “inspired” about one of the members of incubus with those drum heads. I just wish he would of made one for an 18in floor Tom... not that I don’t mind doing mandalas myself. Having it between the two 7ply layers really keeps things together lol they are some amazing heads though!

Okay, that stick click groove is next fucking level. This dude has blown my mind in under a minute.

Go check out some of his "Attention Deficit Drumming" videos on his channel. Dude's on some other shit.

It's always interesting to hear people talk about metal technique from a different perspective with an open mind. I once had a teacher (an acoustic artist) in a Bachelors of Songwring and Composition that refused to even acknowledge math metal and honestly it put me off the whole course. Your videos are the opposite of that and I love it. Please impart the jazz knowledge to us metal folk. That being said, Id love to hear your thoughts on Clay Aeschliman and Polyphia. I recommend the OD playthrough.

Finally Aric 👏 do more🙏

You should really react the MEINL solo that he did called "Blur-Lights in the Videodrome" it's really impressive what he accomplishes not only in technicality but in creativity and soul. A true innovator on the field.

Dude, this was awesome, haven't heard about this band until now and I love it already. Big thanks for that.

Chris Pennie playing Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin is something I've been wanting to watch you see for a while now.

One of my favorite albums of 2018! Whole band is amazing, but the drummer is insane!!

Yes! Finally you did a review on this guy!

I like how you don't pause it every other second. You point out the cool shit I can learn from and move on. Thank you.

Danny Carey playing Pneuma. Awesome video quality

Love you, man :) You're always making my day!

Aric is hands down my fav drummer

One cool thing about your channel is that I'm discovering a lot drummers/bands I haven't heard of and it's introducing me to some new, good music, which is always awesome.

Thanks for sharing that gem 🙏

Man I've been looking for this guys name for ages, thank you. I remember seeing some sort of demo of his about 8 years ago and loved it but forgot his name.

Glad this finally found you! Aric is fantastic and this is my favorite Night Verses track

Love this channel for the content! The Mike Mangini drum solo he did for Drummer World is a fantastic thing to watch if you haven't seen it yet, incredible technical skill. also his faces are priceless.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for you to watch Aric. Check out his solo called “Rocket Lost” it’s incredible

Awesome!!👍

0:04 -- That was fabulous, that's what that was.

Love your videos man. It’s so awesome how you break down some of the things the drummers are doing, just by watching for the first time; & i love your excitement & even surprise, at much of what you see in this genre. It (the genre of Metal in general) welcomes your incredibly talented Self. Thanks for your very informed portion. Wish we could hang. Cheers my fellow DrumDog 💎🤘🏽🙂

Fuckin love Aric's work, could watch those vids on repeat

I've literally been waiting for you to watch Aric play since I found your channel. He's probably my favorite drummer of all time. Doing shit NOBODY is doing and KILLING it! Also Night Verses is just fucking Stellar! Love everything they've put out.

Been waiting for you to check this guy out

Remember having the same reaction first time I heard (and saw) the sticks clicking haha

This dude is fucking amazing... I know most of the drummers you check out, but this dude is soooo awesome, like holy shit...

Bro just stumbled across your channel love the drum reactions subscribed

We were digging to too bro. Thumbs up

This guy bleeds groove ... wow and the crossovers are sick. So fluid and groovy. Amazing drummer.

that was dope. definitely gonna check out more of Night Verses

That was some super fucking tasteful and creative drumming.

He's so freaking good! I love him with Fever 333

Aric Improta is the most dynamic drummer to hit the scene in years. I had a similar reaction the first time I heard this song. Night Verses is SO DOPE!

Perhaps not the right genre for a video on this channel, (I see it's mostly technical death metal) but just a bit of fun to watch. There's spacesuits, fog machines, and a fun tune full of guitar wankery and crazy drumming.

These are the kind of reactions I tune in for dude. Up there with the Mesuggah Clockwork and Snarky Puppy ones x

my favorite band lately

Just saw these guys live touring with the Faceless, Night Verses is FUCKING AMAZING!

"WOAH WAIT A MINUTE HAVENT SEEN THAT!!" welcome to Aric lmao

This dude just blew my fucking head off. I have not seriously been so excited about a new musician in a very, VERY long time. Ho-LEE FUK!!!

Damn, that was tight.

Finally! 🤘🔥🤘

Rad indeed!

Man that was fucking sick

Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT)

I'm not even a drummer but I absolutely love your input on the techniques and stuff of the drummers you watch :P I'm totally okay if you do that more

From the Gallery of Sleep is a masterpiece of an album. I stumbled across in last year and it's been on my favourites list since. Trading Shadows is something else, as is Leviathan!

Nice, Aric Improta is the man!

Aquilis Priester. I'll keep doing this ^^ Aric is one hell of a creative drummer, following him for years now.

his Attention Deficit Drumming videos are insane too! a lot of random stuff he is creating and working on. really inspiring and really really good in my opinion! :)

I have to say one of the best things about this channel is hearing bands I don't know who are fucking wild. haha

I was just about to type "Buddy Rich used to do stuff like the stick on Stick stuff outside of the hi-hat..." Then you said it! 🤣

My friend I know that is difficult to you to be able to make all the videos and watch all the drummers but mike portnoy does deserve a video for all his history on dream theater and even sons of Apollo or liquid tension experiment . Cheers dude and keep the good work

I saw him perform with Night Verses a month ago and was lucky to meet up with him (again). Such a great spirit, such a humble guy. I've known him from both Night Verses and Fever333, and he''s currently workin on a tattoo design for my girl (based on the trippy drum heads) :) Just an awesome, awesome drummer (and band).

Probably top 10 modern drummer right now. fuck name another that tops him.

I love this series. It's like with every new video, he hones in closer and closer tip his preferred styles of metal music. The whole series started with something like "I hate this stuff, but I respect the talent," and has evolved into "FUCK YEAH BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA THAT CHINA!" and things of the like

I never would have noticed him looking at the next notes he was playing. Very cool observations.

He draws those drum heads himself. Widely talented dude.

There's a decent live video of danny carey playing pneuma which vic firth uploaded a couple of days ago

Yeah what was that? 😂 Aric Improta is no fn joke 🔥🔥🔥

That was pretty dope, but still patiently awaiting some Sebatien Lanser ;)

Wow this guy is fucking nuts! Inspiring and nuts!

All of Night Verses kicks ass. All of it. From The Gallery of Sleep is one of the best instrumental rock/metal albums of all time.

Good video, as always sir! I'm suprised that noone recommended Nic Pettersen (northlane drummer) yet, he went from a very energetic playstyle (Genesis/Scarab or Rot) to a very relaxed smooth playstyle (Leech or Hologram), and he is very fun to watch. The other one i would recommend to check out is Tobias Schuler from Der Weg Einer Freiheit, in Zeichen OR Ewigkeit (Drumcam live at Summer Breeze 2017), he has incredible stamina, and he does blastbeats like it's the easiest thing in the world. I would like to see your take on those two.

Aric is such a good drummer. I love seeing reaction to drummers that have top notch writing abilities. The blast beat drummers are cool but these drummers are way cooler.

Love that star trek poster

I have his drum heads... they are Remo emperor clears and the art design is in between the layers of the heads. The toms are all clear emperors (10in, 12in, 13in, and 16in) the snare is a Remo coated reverse controlled dot. They all sound amazing and I’m an evans ec2 player... only thing that sucks is they don’t make them in 18in. But hey not everyone is rocking an 18in floor Tom. Didn’t you know he has the China in quarantine!?

Enjoyed your review. Did you ever do a review of the drum solo by Aric Improta? Keep up the great work with the videos.

This band, Night Verses, is awesome!

His 40 minute long drum solo is insane I recommend watching it

Neat little fact for ya, Aric actually does all of the art for his drum heads.

YEEEEEEEEEEEES YOU DID IIIIIIIIT!!! PRAISE THE LORD

Damn that drummer is sick
