Just a head's up for the drummer Aric Improta and his excellent band Night Verses, that I discovered recently because MP recomended their last album, Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night - Part I, on his Facebook. Instrumental music (this one and the previous album, From the Gallery of Sleep), virtuosity with amazing musicallity IMO. As you can see in the videos with the band playing live, a lot of the keyboard sounds (if not ALL of them) are made by Aric, performig electronic percussion.

This is maybe the most interesting solo/drum composition I've ever saw (the second half is the craziest one). And sure the guy is also a killer performer:

Yeah, guys like this and El Estepario Siberiano are the drummers pushing the art forward. Probably the 2 best in the world at the moment. They are like the second coming of drummers like Neil Peart and Danny Carey. Always pushing the art of drumming and what is possible in a drum solo or just drums to new heights.

El Estepario Siberiano is also amazing! Is he in any band writing songs?

He was in a band called Saratoga for a few years and played drums on their latest album, but left the band to do youtube full time. Supposedly he is working on something new that is band related, so we'll see what he comes up with.

Nice, let's see!
