Micah J. Rodriguez Great!... and educational! Favorite track: BACH – FUGUE IN D MINOR BWV 565.

Jason Sullivan This album is GREAT!
Ted's drumming fits seamlessly into these Classical pieces, as he educates the listener on how a Metalhead can appreciate Classical, and visa versa. Favorite track: BARRIOS – LA CATEDRAL, ALLEGRO SOLEMNE.

A Becker The fact that many die hard metalheads also have a deep appreciation for classical music is a well-reported truism that takes a lot of "normies" by surprise.
Here we get a fun project from one of the most well respected drummers in metal during the 80s and 90s. It is cool to witness Kirkpatrick merge his playing with these great classical works and it breathes new life into each of the pieces included.
Come for the epic drumming, stay for the brilliant organ compositions! Favorite track: ROSSINI – OVERTURE TO THE BARBER OF SEVILLE.

dadcabal I love this album because it contains older music with thrashing drums. If you like neo-classical metal, you'll likely this too!

about

Ted's new solo project is a highly technical drumming endevour dedicated to the great masters of classical music. Features tracks by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Paganini, and other great composers. 9 tracks, over 40 minutes.

"Impressive. Insightful. Dare I say it... INSANE!!!"
"Epic as expected."
"Ted Kirkpatrick is undeniably one of modern days' most accomplished drummers. This new release demonstrates his mastery of the "kit" - check it out - it WILL blow you away."
"Absolute genius!!"
"It's the album I've been waiting for."

Ted says: "To me, the fantastic music of the classical masters is in a totally different realm - there simply is no other music to compare it to. I believe it was a time in history that will never be repeated - kind of like when dinosaurs roamed the earth. In drumming to these timeless works as with any music, I always strive to treat the drums as a musical instrument - not just a noisy time keeper. These are some of my favorite composers with some of their most brilliant works."
