New Epica Drummer

Knew the news a while already (talked to him personally), but 6 days ago the news came out officially, Ariën van Weesenbeek is the new Epica drummer.

It's awesome he joined Epica, since he's one of the best drummers around.

Here a few vids from him:

His style of playing doesn't fit in Epica. That's mostly why I don't like The Divine Conspiracy that much.

:D trust me, it does!
cmoooooon, admit, it's a fucking awesome combination, take for example death of a dream, that song gives me a boner!

good choice. their another livedrummer (koen) sucked :<

Well, he didn't quite suck, but he was average. Nothing special about him. Ariën on he other hand, is in my opinion one of the best drummers around. His speed, techniques, solidness, feeling, and above all, ability to improvise, make him one of the best drummers around.

I'm very proud to be teached drums by the same teacher as he has been teached by a few years. Also, my drums teacher says that if I keep on going the way I am doing now, I can even become better than Ariën :D

depends what "mixed shizz" there is. I never want to play with bs anymore again. it just takes away all my motivation.

like I said earlier, I needed to change my acoustic kit to electric -,- later in the future (say, in 3 years) I'll buy an acoustic set again.

Who cares that you spoke to him personally so that you knew the news even longer? urgh

Deactivated5924 12 Dec 2007, 16:59
you know the 'you replied so you must care' thing is pretty fucking retarded and isn't true.
get over it faggot, no one cares about you even if you do keep replying with 'YOU CARE ABOUT ME' 30x

yep. of course its good that i can train every day in home without limits, but blaaaaaa acoustics are so much cooler :/ so probably i just keep the electrics and just buy acoustics later and use them in our musicplace.

cant reply with a mobile xd
