  • Priester is great, but I just LOVE bobby's drumming!! I hate drum comparison videos, however...

  • "bobby is playing a drum solo over some tracks" u r wrong, hes playing specific figures, and he repeats em several times in a song.

  • "jarzombek plays 4/4 most of the time, and that pissed me off."

    Holy Crap there are some waterheads in this here!

  • Hey Priester...you are an outdated caveman with faggot drum gloves. Boring.

  • "bobby is playing a drum solo over some tracks...thats not music."

    Absurd.

  • @glezzery62 Yeah I hate that. People that say shit like that are closed minded as fuck.

  • @EvisceratorBand Anyone who claims Bobby is playing 4/4 most of the time or a drum solo that isn't music is not just close-minded. They are Moron-Minded.

  • @glezzery62 Oh, I guess my mind just left out that 4/4 bit because I couldn't believe how ridiculous that was. Hahahaha, you're absolutely right though.

  • nossa a bateria do aquilis é linda demais

  • You have to be brasilian to say that Priester is better than Jarzombek. If you listen to Spastik Ink, you will know that DOES NOT EXIST any drummer in the world better than him.

  • @maurodreamtheater Actually, he sucks in DT audition!!

  • Bobby jarzombek hands down !!! just watch min : 4:13 but aquiles has some serious skills too !!!

  • priester eo melhor

  • prieter tu e o cara

  • Jarzombek vs Priester? lol

  • aquiles rules talking about double bass pedal skills, but he drum sticks are just to heavy so he loose speed

    

  • Aquiles for sure

  • woooooooow O.O EPIC DRUMMING!!!!!!!!!

  • The guy with the gloves looks funny.

  • @Tellalca maybe he look funny but he sound amazing

  • Seems like a fair competition at first, 'til you realize that Jarzombek isn't even human.

  • @lupine73

    Seriously though...

    They both bring a very different style to their playing. Priester has a very "forward-driving" style. Even in his most complex flourishes, there seems to be an ever-forward flow to it.

    I really enjoy that style.

    Jarzombek, on the other hand, can play in a driving manner, but seems to really shine (IMO) in the (pardon my french) *fucked up* stuff he comes up with. I don't even know how the brain can conceive some of what his does, nevermind actually playing it.

  • @lupine73

    I think they're both amazing drummers. As far as which I enjoy listening to more... Definitely Jarzombek.

  • Tira o pedal duplo dos dois que eu sei quem é o melhor!!!!

    

  • Aquiles....The Best!!!

  • People like Danny Carey and Bobby Jarzombek have taken metal drumming to new levels. These guys are not just about speed....their playing is actually intelligent. When the limbs can do what the brain demands, its the brain thats king. And what brains these folks have.

  • i just noticed those are the same pedals gene hoglan uses!

  • The stuff Jarzombek plays is ten times more difficult and complex than what Priester plays. Nuff said.

  • @amjan totally agree... absolutly complex patterns and riffs. He is a fucking alien!

  • Bobby Jarzombek, what are you made of? please tell me o_O

  • bobby Jarzombek its the best alien i ever heard!, he is a PRO no doubts about it, progressive metal dahh!!

  • I respect Aquilles because he covers a lot of awesome songs, but Bobby is just a beast. No contest really 

  • oi dois são feras e eu adimiro os dois mais prefiro aquiles priester por o som tactica e tudo o cara é fera.

  • Is this a Joke? Bobby is a God

  • These are two drummers I cannot compare... Both have incredible ability and are prime examples of the closest thing to flawless playing.

  • Ha. Those are just different drummers, different drumming styles. It's really hard to find someone better than Aquiles for dense and powerful metal music, and it's equally hard to find a so highily prepared and versatile drummer like Bobby. They both rock. If you agree, give thumbs up and enjoy their work, from Angra to Spastik Ink. : )

  • @Darkwing74 That was so well said! Both are beastly though!

  • aquiles wins know y? has just as much technique he just doesnt use only odd time sigs like bobby and aquiles has much more musicality he plays what fits....bobby is playing a drum solo over some tracks...thats not music.

  • @OGTheDemon Bobby plays in 4/4 a lot. You don't know shit about music do you... You don't know the definition of music. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it isn't music.

  • @OneTakeJesus thats not "music" it doesnt benefit the song the drums are tryng to outshine the song.... u my friend dont know shit about music

  • @OGTheDemon Have you heard the guitar in Spastic Ink? You're only listening to the drummer. You aren't jesus, quit acting like you're hot shit and know everything. You have a lot to learn

  • @OneTakeJesus ur quite a hypocrit. what hes doing here isnt benefiting the song WHICH IS WUT THE DRUMS DO. "you arent jesus" i guess u are cause its in ur name.... lol im an atheist partner keep that shit to urself. aquiles seems better at it cause he benefits everysong, while showing technique speed and creativity. I have nothing to learn from u friend.

  • @OGTheDemon I am atheist too and I have to say you are quite stupid. Maybe you refuse to learn stuff from me but hopefully sooner or later you'll get the big picture. We all know that you sitting on a computer claiming you know everything (you don't have to say that directly..) won't get you anywhere. I say Jesus one time and you assume I believe in it? Yeah. You're an idiot.

  • @OneTakeJesus i dont claim to know everything but i do know wut im talking about... and its in ur name..... u say it.... and yet im the idiot :P ur the one that got butthurt about wut i said not the other way around i spoke my piece it seems like more agree with me then disagree... so w/e helps u sleep at night friend

  • @OGTheDemon That's like me saying that you're a demon because it's in your name. No shit it's in my name. Process it through your brain. I obviously don't believe in bullshit like that. Learn how to read and go back through this conversation for gods sake

  • @OneTakeJesus nah i ended it ur in the corner.....ur desperate u made a jackass of urself... at no point did I portay stupidity or to claim to be all knowing... so once again have a good day w/e helps u sleep at night. (p.s... Dont fuking respond :P)

  • @OneTakeJesus you tell him what i think about you....

  • @OneTakeJesus 4/4??... what the f...!! Bobby plays in all posible patterns. I think that you have to listen more about him...

  • @maurodreamtheater He plays in 4/4. I own his DVD's, instructionals and what not. You obviously don't know how to read a score. There are many parts in his songs that are in 4/4. Just because they don't sound like it to your stupid ass ears does not mean he doesn't play in 4/4 ever. He does.

  • @OneTakeJesus so you think that priester is better than jarzombek?... did you see the performance of priester in DT audition??... i think that jarzombek can play DT songs using only one hand. If you take a look at Spastik Ink music, you cant say that this guy use 4/4 only... its insulting!

  • @maurodreamtheater If you look at what the fuck I said, I never called him better than Jarzombek. Other way around, I was defending Jarzombek. I never said he ONLY played 4/4 dipshit, you don't play one time signature per song, I'm convinced you don't even know what 4/4 IS to begin with. Your stupidity is just remarkable. I listen to Spastic Ink like everyday I would know my shit.

  • @OneTakeJesus sorry men... im from argentina, my english is quite good, i get that you said that jarzombek plays 4/4 most of the time, and that pissed me off. Look at my videos and tell me if i dont know nothing about music, i play Erik Mongrain and Andy Mckee songs, you will be less ofensive men... who you are, Portnoy?

  • @maurodreamtheater I had much more covers on my old channel, before that got fucked up. All I'm trying to do here is explain that I am not defending Aquiles over Jarzombek.. I do feel like I'm talking to a 5th grader at some points, but I don't know where you are going with this. Just because I don't have more dream theater covers does not mean I know less than you about the subject.

  • @OneTakeJesus You was the one who says ''I'm convinced you don't even know what 4/4 IS to begin with'', so was you who treat me like an ignorant. I don't play drums as my first instrument, and maybe that gives you a better point of view. Anyway, peace... i dont want to fight against people who like the same music than me. Anyone has his own point about music, and i'm pretty sure that we will agree most of the times.

  • @OneTakeJesus I invite you to visit my blog (progresivoyalgomas.blogspot . com). In my site i recommend a lot of prog music. Take a look at PRESTO VIVACE, is an amazing band of my country (argentina), his bass player MARCELO SCHNEIDER is one of the best bass players which i could listen to. :)

  • @OneTakeJesus you think that you are the only one who can read a patiture... you played two or three dream theater songs in your channel and you think that you are mozart!!... you have to listen a lot before talk about me, i know everything about prog music and i know how to play very well... you aren't the only one here who can play a fucking drum, ok?

  • Comment removed

  • Aquiles is excellent at power-metal stuff. Fast feet and hands, but A LOT 4/4 stuff compared to Bobby. Bobby excells at playing odd-meters, polyrhythms, and complicated changes way better than Aquiles.Another thing I want to point out to is that these clips, you hear Aquiles through the professional microphones, it sounds that bobby is being recorded with a regular camera mic. so aquiles's tone sounds way better.

  • honestly they are both fucking gods as far as i am concerned, these 2 are the result of a lifetime's dedication to drums, masters of the craft, not opinion, FACT.

  • Papai aquiles é o supremo...

  • continuando poste abaixo.....

    intão onde quero chegar!?

    não podemos comparar musicos uns com os outros pq todos tem um "segredo" na hora de tocar, sendo assim uma coisa de cada um deles. Onde um é bom D+ o outro as vezes tem falhas como por exemplo eu penso que o Bob nunca conseguiria executar tão bem o que o Aquiles faz e nem o mesmo(Aquiles) faria tão bem o que o Jarzombek faz.

    Resumindo... todos dois são bons no que fazem e no estilo que tocam não tem melhor e nem pior cada um na sua! abraços

  • se formos comparar os dois pelos videos mostrados teriamos que levar muita coisa em conta como sonoridade, recursos em geral(sonorização, instrumentos, triggers, pratos e etc...) e sabemos que o video do Aquiles é mais recente do que os do Bob usa mais recursos ja é uma coisa a +para se levar em conta.

    Todos dois são muito bons no que fazem bons d+ mesmo mas se vc's assistirem os videos da seleção de batera do Dream vc vai ver o Aquiles passando por "dificuldades" em fazer um groove... continua

  • Cara, li todos os comentários e vi opiniões interessantes e tbm críticas estúpidas. Sabe-se que há muitos que gostam mais do Aquiles e outros mais do Bobby.. conclui-se então que, ninguém pode agradar a gregos e troianos. Todos dois têm seu o valor, tocam muito e merecem respeito. Essa besteira de comparar músicos profissionais em suas performances pra ver quem é o melhor é coisa de gente de mente atrasada e alienada, um bando de ignorantes, moleques imaturos musicalmente que só dizem merda.

  • Esse Bobby é, no máximo, aluno iniciante do Aquiles...

    Bobby não tem feeling nenhum...Tem pouca versatilidade...

    Aquiles ganha fácil...em todos os quesitos...

  • @Brawwv8 Bobby aluno iniciante do Aquiles? Não exagera o Bobby é muito bom e são dois excelentes músicos, com qualidades diferentes. --' Pelo amor cada um viu.

  • @Brawwv8 O único iniciante é você, por falar tanta besteira. Bobby Jarzombek é um sideman de respeito, que toca desde o prog metal intrincadíssimo do Arch/Mateos Project até o hard rock direto do Sebastian Bach, e tecnicamente está muito à frente do Aquiles.

    Aquiles é um excelente baterista, só que criou uma seita de fãs torcedores que o cultuam como se fosse um Alá, e não conseguem enxergar nada bom em termos de bateria além do seu endeusado Aquiles, que aliás nem é tudo isso que dizem por ai.

  • @Rockdrummerfunk eu sou fã de ambos, o bobby realmente está a frente do aquiles em tecnica, mas eu prefiro o som do aquiles, e outra coisa o aquiles é isso tudo o que dizem e muito mais mano, no brasil acho dificil achar outro batera do mesmo nivel.

  • @deformitygurubashi Ele é bom, mas quando falo que não é tudo isso é por que a galera da crédito a ele por coisas que ele não fez. Esse negócio de dois rides e aplicação de rudimentos nas conduções com eles quem criou foi o Deen Castronovo nos anos 80, e depois o Gene Hoglan elevou isso ao extremo absurdo em termos de técnica e velocidade (nessa época Aquiles ainda nem tocava dois bumbos).

    E 3 brasileiros que tocam metal num nível altíssimo: Fernando Schaefer, Max Kokesne e Amílcar Cristófaro.

  • Bobby wins always since riot the best drummer

  • tudo paga pau desse bobby

  • aquiles....perfect...

  • Bobby Jarzombek Wins! Perfect!

  • malabarismo ou bateria ?

  • Sin duda alguna el grandisimo AQUILES PRIESTER!!!

  • @ouhduvhaoasd se ve que jamas en tu reputa vida escuchaste a Bobby Jarzombek... no existe baterista mas extraterrestre que ese.

  • aquiles ganhou com vantagem longa cara o melhor!!!

  • aquiles the best the best aquiles destroyer!!!!

  • Aquiles vc é o melhor num tem como esse cara ser melhor vc é de + e o hangar tb muito show :)

  • I'd rather have Aquiles in my band. Simply because he's not as intimidating lol

  • Respect to both drummers, love them both.

  • Aquiles muito melhor!!!!

  • anyone who says the "music" this other dude is making is better than bobby's in spastik ink or any of his solo projects are fools. just ron jarzombek's backing track alone wipes the floor with this other entire "real" band. remember, this shit was made for bobby's video.. Not something they took probably 100% serious or were commissioned by a label for. They are having fun and being creative and you can tell. this other band sounds like 1-2 and 2-1 double bass stock drumkit from hell beats baha

  • Aquiles Priester

    

  • technically, no questian bobby is better but aquiles has the musical edge. music always comes first so i'll have to go with aquiles

  • @rohanpogi Musical EDGE??? Do you know who FATES WARNING are? the PREMIERE USA prog band before dreamtheater. Do some research fool. Fates Warnings original singer's new project with Bobby destroys this other band completely too. It's disgraceful to see videos like this, because it's degrading to bobby. plus at 12:41 to 12:54 seconds, was completely tasteless drumming that just wasnt right for the part.

  • @RSwordIAAA you clearly didn't get what i was saying. no haven't heard of them before. i will check them out.

  • @RSwordIAAA you do realize that it's just my opinion. why're you so butthurt? it's not like i stated a fact or something? quit bitching.

  • sorry, haven't even heard of this other guy,. but I HAVE heard of fates warning and Bobby. :)

  • In my opinion, bobby 's just a guy who loves to hit the shit out of his drums but aquiles could play a song on his drums without any other unstruments just his drums. Maybe bobby is faster and has better techniques but what does is matter if aquiles is musiciale beast as hell and know's why to hit something in that excat moment !

  • Que vídeo chato /:

  • O AQUILES ESTÁ TOCANDO MÚSICA, ESSE BUNDÃO ESTÁ FAZENDO SOLOS!

  • MANÉZÃO PAGA MADEIRA DESSE BOBBY COLOCOU 20 SEGUNDOS DE VIDEO DO AQUILES E O RESTO DESSE CARA, AINDA COLOCOU NUM VOLUME MAIS BAIXO.

    IDIOTAA!!!

  • 11:39 marolandooooooooooooo ....

    caraii !

  • portnoy/carey

  • @chumpvoodoo Danny Carey will f**k him up, BADLY!!

  • O Bobby Jarzombek HUMILHA o Aquiles Priester... não tem nem comparação. basta ouvir os discos que os dois já gravaram, seus projetos e suas performances. Bobby é muito superior tanto tecnicamente (óbvio), quanto em composições. Além de ser versátil. O trampo dele com o Sebastian Bach é animal.

  • aquiles wins 2

    nem da pra comparar

  • o instrumental desse tal bobby é ruim demais , dá é agonia .

  • Aquiles Priester is the BEEEEST :DDD

  • he hits extremely hard, i love when drummers hit the drums with strength

  • NO ONE PLAYS LIKE bobby in thundersteel no one, ever.he invented the power metal drums.

  • Bobby is the most technical but, Portnoy is not that far behind him Aquiles is not that technical ive heard most of his work its just fast, really not that hard plus if you have drum triggers which most metal guys have its even easier to play fast. 

  • @ter50 Portnoy is so inferior to them? Are you serious? These guys are drummers because of Mike Portnoy, how you dare to make such an stupid statement? These guys are good but Mike's a legend.

  • @davidadvertising These guys are drummers because of Mike Portnoy? Priester probably but Jarzombek absolutely not! Bobby is a professional drummer since 1986, when Mike was still a Neil Peart wannabe. Jarzombek first band, Juggernaut, had progressive metal traits before Dream Theater. So don't tell craps, Portnoy is good but nothing special, his skill isn't even a half of Jarzombek's!

  • @ter50 Agreed--you are spot on. Ron and Bobby are both geniuses.  I love Billy Cobham as well--the guy is way under rated!!!!

  • @redshaftedflicker I don't think that Cobham is underrated. He is regarded by many as one of the best drummers of all time and many drummers were influenced by him.

  • Aquiles Wins

  • Bobby Jarzombek absolutely best, no doubts at all!

  • Jarzombek easily wins. No contest....although Priester is great, even he would say Jarzombek

  • What's the first song that Jarzombek plays?

  • Bobby rips the shit out of Aquiles

  • Music is not just technique. Aquiles Priester is musically far superior to Bobby.

  • @Stryffer7 musically superior? hahahaha wake up. Why don't you ask Aquiles if he think he's better than Bobby Jarzombek. fools.

  • 4:00 now we all know who wins :)

  • aquiles priester é o cara ele é o melhor valeu aquiles prister vc é muito fera na batera

  • @rodrigoalves98 aquiles é melhor sem dúvidas, o outro é bom, mais não é do nível do Aquiles

  • Bobby is like a ninja in these clips.

  • OMG! I'm not going to say bad thing about this two guys... but I have to say that.... I'M COMING! I'M COMING! ....... ♥

  • Bobby...rules...even better playing in a live situation with ANY of the many bands and styles he is the master of...If you asked either of them to assess each other i bet only kind words would fly...none of this junior high "batle" versus nonesense.

  • don't like the gloves at all but i have to say im more of a Aquiles fan, his style interests me more personally. but there's no "best" they both do what they do VERY well let's just appreciate them for the awesome musicians they are!

  • Bobby Jarzombek ES MUCHO MAS COMPLEJO EN SUS COMPOSICIONES.

  • i hated the fact that in the DT video Aquiles actually was made look like he sounded like shit.... he's a god!

    

  • @pietromestu truth is, achilles played poorly at the dt tryouts. minnimen was by far the best. and how bobby didnt get an invite is beyond me. personnally i think hes at the top of the prog/metal pile.

  • @sparkles67 He wasn't invited cause he's too much for DT.

  • Aquiles Priester! is the fucking Octopus! dude!

  • Comment removed

  • this is not the same kind of metal...

  • BOBBY IS MARIHUANO

  •  FAST PLAY IS NOT PLAYING WELL

  •  BOBBY just shit, my grandmother is better AQUILES THE BEST

  • bobby touches seems to shit puts the stick in the ass

  • noe smucha la diferencia como batero lo puedo decir prefiero aquiles por su creatividad y los ritmos mas elaborados bobby es como golpear toms al azar pero es muy bueno diria q en tecnica estan al mismo nivel

  • Bobby is way more creative.

  • Everyone saying Aquiles missed the fact that Bobby can use his arms seperatly. I would love to see Aquiles do that. (Aquiles is a great drummer, but Bobby is superior.)

  • Bobby for the creativity.

  • Aquiles have more soul in the rithym.

  • Aquiles!

    I'd love to see Bobby play half of the shit Aquiles plays.

  • Aquiles, even with their sponsorships and thousands of accessories, Bobby is so much better. kkkkkk

    Jarzombek still have better videos. Aquiles is a pedal's show man. kkkk

  • I like both drummers honestly i know both have their own strengths and few err weaker areas? (very few lol) however i love how Aquiles accents on the other melodies and rhythms in the songs he plays with. But i can respect both. What do you think?

  • Bobby all the way. Not even close.

  • Aquiles

  • Bobby Jarzombek , no DUDE!

  • bobby is boring. aquiles puts the flavor to it!1

  • Can anyone tell me what's the name of the first song bobby plays??

  • @IvexTheTerrible in case you havn't found out it's called "school" =)

  • @jakus55 Thanks dude :)

  • @IvexTheTerrible School

  • Aquiles 4 me

  • Two great drummers. Bobby is more technical but Aquiles has more musical taste in my opinion. Anyway I love them both, Portnoy is so inferior to them!

  • @ter50 Yeah, portnoy doesn't hold a candle to these guys anymore, but he is still very highly respected in the Prog drumming world!

  • There both good, just differant styles

  • Bobby Jarzombek 

  • Bobby "Boromir" Jarzombek

  • there's no battle,are you kidding? Who votes for Aquiles is only an ingorant

  • hahah thinkin about that bob is left handed and right footed????

  • @BAjna1986 right footed left handed for hi-hat and ride symbal yet right handed for tom rolls etc making him a true drumming genius

  • think aquiles is getting treated unfairly here. kay bobby seems to be more tachnical advanced cause of the whole left side thing, but then again, aquiles is quite good at adapting the drumming to the rest of the music, not overdoing it if you know what i mean, i aint saying either one wins or looses, i just think it's a bit unfair to say he's garbage compared to bobby...

  • Bobby wins, as Achilles does not use his left leg and apart ........ spastic ink and gentlemen listen veran q Achilles is much lower.

    As for musical creativity, Bobby wins, look but believe me, listen to the Spastic Ink - Mad Data Race and Multi-Masquing also be confused if they hear the A chaotic realization of nothing yet misunderstood.

    After hearing those 3 songs, Aquiles Priester is garbage without a brain.

    Greetings from Mexico City.

  • Both pwn Portnoy... and no it's not a slaughter, that's stupid to even suggest.

  • Major drum Gods, no question. But, 'massacre'? haha, please.

    Bobby's drumming is absolutely flawless but it's a bit more noisy to me. Aquiles' drumming is ungodly precise and cleaner, I think.

    If Bobby would've auditioned for Dream Theather, nothing would've happened, I don't think Dream Theater's music fits Bobby's style. It CERTAINLY does not fit Aquiles' either.

    But, I gotta say it: WTF is up with hitting cymbals right behind your neck? lol

  • Hands down Bobby J.!

  • I never understood these "VS." videos, once you get to there level, its not so much about who is better, its more about who's style do you like better?, all opinions btw

  • Priester is good but Jarzombek is beyond. He's clearly part android.

    

  • I wonder what would've happened if Bobby had auditioned for Dream Theater....

  • @Drumzrool It would take him only a few seconds to chase them out of the room. They would realize how inadequate they are.....whatever....

  • AQUILES IS THE BEST!!!! (Y)

  • Bobby can beat Achilles while he's sleeping

  • AQUILES!!!!!!.

  • Hallla??BOBBY!!!!
