Maxim Udalov
Maxim Lvovich Udalov (born June 16, 1966, in Moscow, USSR) is the drummer of the Russian heavy metal band Aria.

Biography
Alexander Maniakin replaced Udalov. Aria soon dismissed Vekshtein and started their own company ARIA records. Even though he wasn't an official member, he remained in Aria as a sound engineer and a session drummer. He played drums on Aria's 1998 tour when Maniakin was injured with a broken hand. In 2002, when Maniakin left Aria following Valery Kipelov, Maxim was invited back to the main lineup.
