    Aquiles Priester is a legendary brazilian drummer, he was the drummer for power metal band Angra (Kiko Loureiro from Megadeth former band) and was the teacher of Eloy Casagrande for a long time. He actually did a tour with Dragonforce in 2020 when their drummer got sick

    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.

    Aquiles Priester is a Brazilian drummer who has played with Angra, artists like Tony MacAlpine, WASP, Hangar, Noturnall, and Edu Falaschi. He recorded this song because at the time he was on tour with Dragon Force, as the band's drummer was recovering from chest surgery. Aquiles is an excellent musician, check out music videos of the bands he played with, such as Aquiles Priester Temple of Hate or Aquiles Priester Spread Your Fire.

      As far as I remember, he actually struggled to get through the audition. Although I don't think it was even an audition, as I heard Mangini was already selected but they made a whole "show" about it, presumably for attention with different audiences. The other drummers were Virgil Donatti and Marco Minemann, which the DT members really liked.
