August 14th and 15th were groundbreaking days for drummers in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Paiste Artists Aquiles Priester (#Hangar), Dino Verdade (#TriOficial, Brisa Trio, The Truth), and Fernanda Terra (#Nervosa) participated in “Paiste Days,” sponsored by Paiste Cymbals, at the Mix Music Hall, and put on an amazing show for the audience.

FERNANDA TERRA kicked things off in a big way with her band Nervosa. She played both with playback and with the band - beauty and ferocity dominated the stage and music! DINO VERDADE showcased his unique style and played a fusion of funk, rock and Brazilian music. On the first day he played with his group Power Beat (Dney Bitencourt [g], and Ronaldo Lobo [b]) -- the trio played two of their own original compositions. He played with his new trio on the second day, with the same musicality and originality of course, but this time with Ney Neto on the bass.

AQUILES PRIESTER , well known for his technique, musicianship and for the complexity of his playing, performed songs from his band Hangar’s catalog and from another project, Freakeys, during which he was accompanied by bassist Nando Mello. His precision, intensity and amazing musicianship brought the house down!

All three drummers left an indelible impression on the audience and made Paiste Days Brazil a groundbreaking event!
