eating popcorn and watching drummers die inside while reacting to this guy is my new favorite thing
That, and watching voice coaches and professional singers lose their minds over Dimash. I can't ever imagine even pretending to anywhere near either of these guys in *any* universe. #bringsmorepopcorn
exactly this
I know I love to watch it too lol 💯😁💜💜💜💜🤟🤟🤟🤟

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro...I'm 62. I've been playing drums since I'm 9 with very few days off. I consider myself a very good drummer. This man is just on another level, and even scarier...he's nowhere near his headroom. It's not just chops. His musicality is unbelievable. He plays so over the top , but never drowns out the song with stupid shit.
I think he just has such an expansive view of what might be possible with drums. He couples that willingness to go outside the box with just a relentless work ethic and the results are just amazing.
and to think that he's not even in his 30's is mind blowing
It's the weed. It sounds like I'm joking, but I'm not.
Check out what the human endocannabinoid system does (lots of things, but two of them are to slow down neuron signals, perhaps providing more detail to perceptual input, and in habit forming).
I should clarify that it's not just the weed.
It's a little bit of weed and a lot of very directed practice (8 hours per day apparently). And I think you have to spend at least some time every day doing the hard stuff that no one wants to do. And have fun!
I've seen a similar pattern with other people who are amazing at what they do too (like Harry Mack).
He’s SO consistent, while being ridiculously flashy at the same time. I’ve never seen anything like it
Sometimes someone comes along in life, whether it’s sport or music etc, who is just unquestionably on a completely different stratosphere to the next best. This guy is he.
*him
And what's crazy is this dude simply says 'yeah, this is practice'. He attributes it all to an obsessive compulsion to practice.
As a drummer myself, you cant help but laugh at times because of the sheer technique and abilities of EL. Its like watching Dimash sing. Hes on such a higher level than everyone else, you just cant help but laugh.
It's literally practice and dedication. Yeah he got talent but have you seen his progress video? That's just 8-12+ hrs a day practice getting small gains each day and he will tell you that.
In high-school I practiced guitar 8 hours every night after school (20 yrs ago lol) but that paid off maaaaasssively. You can do it too 💪
Best comparison I have heard so far... mesmerizing and hard to comprehend! ^^
Bs
The level of disbelief makes me laugh every time, such a strange feeling having your mind blown 🤯
Now and then a Dimash, Pavarotti, Joe Bonamassa and a few others prove they are the best. This guy is vying for number one.
"Finally, a beat I can do....nevermind!" 🤣🤣🤣 He's just on another level. You're the first of dozens of reactions I've watched of this song that really noticed the swap to two sticks in the right. Great reaction!
😂 That’s the same thing I was doing.
Its also one of the first to notice he used 2 snares instead of a snare and floor tom. Surprisingly a ton of reaction videos miss that
It was the "never mind" that got me too 😂
Priceless!!!
Yes! not gonna lie.. he is the first of a couple reactions that I've watched who actually even noticed the sticks in his belt line, let alone they were going to be used!! His reactions to EVERYTHING that was happening right infront of him made me laugh/cry out loud! 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
By far the best reaction of this video I’ve seen so far and I’ve literally seen dozens of reviews from dozens of different drummers your legitimate concerns of inadequacy is exactly how all of us drummers feel at the same time our absolute respect and amazement at his pure genius
Exactly!
“I feel so inadequate as a drummer” sums it up perfectly every time I watch his videos
I feel inspired
Don't.
There's always somebody "better"
The truck is to find out where your groove is, and play to that.
Play to your strengths, not somebody else's.
I play bass. I always wanted to be like Geddy. .But I'm not not him. But I get close :)
“Wow, it’s a beat I can play . . . never mind.” LOL. Always enjoy watching experienced drummers get blown away by him. 😎👍
THIS MAN HAVE MORE CONTROL OF HIS FEETS AND ARMES MORE THAN I HAVE CONTROL OF MY LIFE 😂😂😂YOU ARE A LEGEND BRO.
and that sir, is the best drummer in the world , prove me wrong
You gave an impossible task. I’ve been playing 22 years. I can say he is the best. Better than the greats. Better than buddy rich Neil or even Danny Carey. And that’s saying a lot.
Portnoy is a huge influence for El Estepario. What's great is that El Estepario is now getting to showcase more of his own work, which is absolutely incredible.
You can always tell who is a real player and who isn't based on how broken their brain gets watching Estepario. It is one thing to recognize what he does, but another thing entirely to KNOW what he is doing while understanding how difficult it really is.
"Pretty traditional beats so far..." mind blow multiple times seconds later.
Any drummer knows how difficult what he's doing is
This amazing song is the point where I´m in shock. The moment that EES use two sticks in one hand, and in the same time continue the rhythm with the other hand, AND IN THE SAME TIME, he changes between single-dual pedal with another structure... it´s insane. Specially when everything sounds smooth, clear and continuos, without loose the tempo. The totally independance of his arms and legs is incredible. Like you, i don´t have words for describe this guy. No fucking words. Respect, that´s all I can say. A monster.
I just cannot believe the fact that there are haters out there that don’t like his flawless technique. It’s not just his covers to Blinding Lights or Godzilla, every song from Avenged Sevenfold to ZZ Top all now have a unique eclectic sound to it that makes you want to hear it again and again, heck! He even took the Super Mario Brothers theme song to a whole different level.
I love his technique, he's amazing. Doesn't make it more pleasing to listen to, it's like listening to really complex programmed drums to me personally. It's all taste, doesn't mean I'm right and someone else is wrong. Other people might see it totally differently than me and that's ok. I'm certainly not a "hater" of him.
Honestly, it reminds me of the first time I heard MIDI drums...so exact...so perfect but tasty😊
@@PickpocketJoneswhat a hater
😊 probably more frustration, EL just makes anything awesome, he has the ability to go next lvl on most stuff, just as you think you've seen it all he blows your mind, I've cried from joy at some of his stuff, check his vs Robot vid, fkn terminator😂
It's like 2 elite drummers rolled up into one. Four arms. The transition where he flips the stick is sick and smooth.🤯🤯
his best cover for me is godzilla using 3 snare drums 3 sticks and 4 pedals... i mean WTAF... it is mental.
I absolutely love when real drummers react to this... past all the flash and bang they "know" how hard it is to do one of these things perfectly whilst maintaining rock solid back-beats clean as a whistle but then let's just for fun do 4 at once... and make the song sooo much better as a result. His limb independence is staggering to watch but my favourite thing about Jorge is his insane orchestration and musicianship. Love your reactions...
I go to a reaction video to hear YOUR reaction and comments. If some think you talk too much, then the original video is out there. So I enjoy your commentary and enthusiastic enjoyment. You did a great job of catching and explaining a lot of his techniques. Good luck on your channel.
Probably my favorite cover of his so far. I've showed several people this video to blow them away, but none of them reacted the way you did. I wished they had, I guess they just didn't fully understand the complexities of his cover. Glad to see someone actually freaking out about every single note this guy made in this cover.
Been watching his cover of Knights of Cydonia by Muse. That ostinado between his hi-hat/left foot bass drum & right foot bass is insanely hard to keep as perfect as he does while letting his hands go free. Guy is a freak but he puts the time in.
Thank you for your profound and interesting break down and commentary! Your style of drumming reactions elevate from many other's, so keep it going! 😊
I'd recommend watching El Estepario's cover of Eminem's Godzilla next. It's really otherworldly. 😅
And to make it even more incredible, he is a very humble man. He doesn't hold himself in high esteem like you would think. He's always giving other musicians props. One drummer he fawns over is Eloy Grande'...Eloy is bonkers as well, but Estepario consistently makes your brain scribble with seemingly effortless patterns, times, grooves, and on and on and....He also encourages everyone to push themselves to be better through practice practice practice..!! We're all extremely blessed to get to consume such brilliance..!! But that's just me talk'n...
The man starts out with 8ths played over 4/4... Moves to 8/4 with 32nd triplets within the 4/4... During the bridge it's 16/4 but when he flips the stick from his belt it moves 32... This is a man who knows that every POP song written with a Lynn drum machine would have been served better by a real drummer
Good on you for mentioning the practice. Estapario stands behind his skill being ENTIRELY a product of insane dedication and practice, and doesn't throw any of it up to raw talent. He is right, so i appreciate you highlighting that so that maybe more people will take up drumming, it's such a fantastic thing.
I love that he’s not bashful about using whatever makes him feel Good haters gonna hate and eventually people will realize that is where our best music gives birth.
Rock on Brother!
Super excited to see your breakdown of this video! I felt like I learned a lot from your breakdowns of some of my other favorite drumming videos.
It is such a pleasure to watch your videos man❤️
I’m not musician and I just love music deeply and people like you are giving me deeper understanding which let’s me appreciate music on even deeper level 😮
World need people like you brother 💪
Go back and watch again and you'll notice a few awesome cymbal catches thrown in there too.
I love that he uses double base roll to fill while he's tossing and catching his stick before the chorus so that there's no empty space. It's just so smooth.
I played drums for a solid two years so I'm still an amateur at best. I've always been a fan of great drumming. This is on a different planet. It's going to revolutionize music in the future.
loved your reactions....anxious to see more of your reviews.
There is a short of him out there (something like "proof I am a computer") where he plays 16ths with his left, 3rds with the base drum, 4ths with the high hats, and 5ths with the right hand. It is not funny how on point he is!
Loving this reaction! And you obviously knows your drumming. Great! 🎉🎉🎉
The very best reaction! As a non-percussionist I learned a lot and it is so important to recognize what elevates outstanding musicians
En realidad lo que hace el Estepario va más allá de contratos, dinero, grandes grupos, grandes escenarios lo que el hace es pasar a la historia como uno de los mejores musicos de todos los tiempos.
Esto no es más que la carta de presentación, dentro de poco comenzará con la producción propia y después armara un grupo a su imagen y semejanza para entrar en la historia como el mejor de los mejores. Ahí hablaremos de nuevos tiempos en batería.
So good listening to actual factual information, 4 note, sixteens etc too many people react without realising how hard it is to do. Nice commentary 👏🏻👏🏻
I've seen a dozen reactions to this video and this might be my favorite. Fantastic.
Thanks for recognizing the practice time; Este, has another video where he talks about that specifically. Stating that everyone can do it “if they put in the work”, and he obviously has, and you recognized it, and I appreciate you saying that. I’m a program drummer myself and appreciate the grind, because it’s all in the details.
Thank you Sir 👍
Absolutely! The session drumming/music studio lifestyle is all about the little things. I miss it, but I also don’t. But I love using my experience to educate people who might be interested!
Your reaction when he grabbed that 3rd drumstick was priceless. Great reaction!!
Great reaction video (and i have seen plenty). The guy is out of this world and into a brand new one. Guys like hime, with this wonderful combination of talent and dedication ,leading to TONS OF PRACTICE , hard work man ,you know really juicing your self and your time to their last drain , these guys are the true pioneers of our kind . I am not capable of using my two hands in different tempo, i could never play the drums , but i watch this guy out of admiration to what we humans can achieve
He’s gotta be the best drummer in the world!
This is *super* tasteful imho. Crazy techniques & precision under his belt, yes.... but he's come up with such a *crisp* groove for this. What's not to love?! :)
Best reaction yet. You caught everything and explained what is what.
I really enjoyed your reaction. EES elevates every song he plays
This dude is an absolute UNIT!
Bro!!! Love the commentary you do, funny and informative.
great reaction video, I'm as amazed by EES's playing as you are :D
BRO, you're the FIRST reactor that I've EVER seen pick up on that stick thing first time through. And for any/all who missed it, he does it again at 9:05. Good n you for being sharp!
This guy makes all of us look like idiots on drums hes the drummer of the millenium
Love him people theres no one like him enjoy it keep playing dont give up
i laughed out loud to your numbness once he switched to 2 sticks on the high-hat .. thumbs up for noticing so quickly .. i love his cover of this song - cannot switch to the original anymore :) great reaction video!
…and that one handed cymbal choke is soooo effortless.
Finally! was waiting for this!
OMG!! the poster - that's my gamer avatar in like everygame, long live TTGL, and you so cool man, big hug from Chile - El Estepario Siberiano rules!!!
Love this reaction. Great playing, but your appreciation is refreshing.
The rim shot part when he hits the 2 rims in 3 different spots. Dude the consistensy is un fuckin belivable. The first part was spot on like the secound. He hits shit in the same exsact spot over and over like a machine. He aint human. The accurecy is just insane.
Love your reactions on this one!
Dude!!! LMAO!! Im 2:24 into this video and im already cry-laughing with joy on your reaction(s)... 😢 yeah man, he is one to behold for sure!...
I had to watch this video probably 7 times to TRY and follow along... ❤❤❤😂😂😂
Been watching him ever since I saw him playing " Slipnot " a few years ago, he is unique, enjoy, we are lucky to have him.
I've seen ESS's videos before, but your reaction was really great!!! He's def a percussion savant!!! TY
This guy has to be one of the top 5 drummers on the planet.
He's mimicking a cabassa, or other shaker... He's hitting the up beet, down beet... You have never seen a drummer do this... Peart is my ultimate, but this guy is at a whole different level.
It's interesting you talk about his "talent", because EES himself said he is not "talented at all". He said he has just been practicing 8 hours a day, everyday, so it is hardwork instead. He also clarified most people think about doing that too, but at the end of day just a few actually do it and he's the result of that amount of time spent on drumming.
Loved your reaction and break down, you have a new sub!~
PS: Completely off-topic, you remind me of an anime reaction channel (at least back in the day) i followed years ago with my previous account on his Steins;Gate reactions, it had the name "Garrett Crespo" on it, if i recall correctly. Is that you? I'm so sorry for bringing this up, but because i'm dumb AF, my head is making me think i'm hallucinating or something lol
I definitely believe that there's natural talent and acquired talent. Practicing 8 hours a day is definitely acquired talent and his playing style shows it!
Also, yes. That was me. The Garrett Crespo channel is now a tech review channel and I've moved to doing music reactions over here. No more anime reactions though. Thanks for subbing over here too though! 😁
Watching people react to this I'm reminded of the first time I heard Rush and realised more could be done as a band than I had ever thought.
I've watched a bunch of reaction vids to this AMAZING cover, this is the best reaction!
This is the best reaction video I've ever seen of Siberiano's drumming.
Is a masterpiece ❤ love it 😂amazing!! Super LIKE 👍
I'm a no drum person at all and can easily tell he's one of a kind. It's mesmerizimg to watch Esterpario Siberian playing. Pure joy!🙌
Speechless 😮
One of the few occasions where El looks actually exhausted when done and good job. You are one of the few that react that noticed the double sticks because most concentrate on feet only and completely miss the best part. Gravity blasts and double stick hi-hat.
Plus in addition to the gravity blast with his right hand he's doing a short one with his left hand at the same time! Insanity!!
I would launch a poll:
How many brains does ELSS have?
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
more than 5)
At least one for every limb 😂
This cat is reinventing the drum kit and how it's used. Just glad I'm around to watch it.
"I feel so inadequate as a drummer. I need to practice more."
My thoughts exactly EVERY SINGLE TIME I hit play on any of this guy's videos.
You're into a rabbit hole, you need to react on thriller, hey ah, take on me, sound of cydonia etc..... you have lots of home work........
Seems like the equivalent of a gamer watching pros and realizing the chasm between them: are we even playing the same game?
Your reaction makes me appreciate the craziness even more (first time I was half listening, half watching and didn't realize the dual drumsticks 🔥)
glad to see you know understand why we suggested watching this next, he is crazy
Loads of headroom. Tons. Cargo ship space. What makes this fun to watch are the reactions as we all try to follow along.
HAHAHAHA!! YOU'RE thee first reactipn to this song that is so 'Blinded by the Light'.. you make this for GREAT contect!! I am a drummer myself... but you're Still making me laugh/cry through this whole video..
I laugh cause you (and i) KNOW what he's doing...but CANNOT belive what hes doing... THIS IS HILAROUS TO WATCH!!❤😂❤😂❤
Buddy Rich did that dual stick on the symbol technique that he’s doing here as well years before this. Doesn’t take away from its awesomeness though.
“… it’s a beat that I can play!… Never mind!” LOL
That’s how I feel about nearly every one of his vids. He’s awesome to watch, just something my physical limitations won’t allow me to reach.
I dont usually watch drumming. But its awsome watching other drummers minds explode. When they watch this guy.
Just found you man. I’m so glad I did. Awesome. You have the same kind of reactions I do. A mix of disbelief and rational thinking
The first drummer I ever saw doing the two sticks in one hand thing on the hi-hat was Darren King from Mute Math, still I can guarantee even Darren will be floored with Estepario's skill.
Im no drummer but even I appreciate this guy goes into “ God Mode “
love how he flipped the drum stick
Great reaction
haha that stick flip switch while blasting the double pedal :D
Yea this guy is amazing one of my favorites
Very good reaction! He is a amazing!
Keep reacting to ees and you'll be amazed.. He's a fn legend.. I'll keep watching if you do.. Your reaction was awesome mate
He is on a truly another level ...it is called an octopus ! And done right.!❤😂❤
"i never thought to do something like that" i know man, thats exactly what i just say to my self. The dude is freakn genius
Just watched your reaction for the second time and the funniest thing happens at the very beginning😂😂😂😂
You say I'll stop the video If there's anything worth breaking down😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my God your face about 15 times going through this song is awesome
Of all the reactions there are to this this is the only appropriate to the "slick" move. Its just amazing.
Joelyjamz reaction is great too but most people seem to miss it
Best break down of everyone. You caught it all! Roger B
Man I love your reaction to the God of drums
Hello, you surrely posted the most accurate react vid about this El Esptepario Siberiano vid. This guy is on a level, after a lot of practice and with a bit of talent, which human drummers can't achieve.
The fact that he has to trigger the double pedal before he uses it each time is crazy and the limb independency to use it is just wild
Estepario is astonishing - andere liga.
But is truly hearthwarming, it's so beatiful to see someone which does the "same" job as another - but recognizes his superiors skill, and is willing to improve himself to get to his level.
Beautiful video, big up! You are great !
The stick trick to get the 3rd stick is the slickest move on there.
There really aren't words big or emphatic enough to describe what's happening whilst El Estepario is getting down. I'm a shit drummer myself because I drink too much and don't practice enough but... I could get completely clean and sober and practice 12 hours a day and I still wouldn't be able to pull that shit off. Some people are just born in the right place and time to do certain things and do them with greatness. For all I know I could be the greatest pastry chef the world has ever known but nobody will ever know because I was never exposed to that particular trade. I'm sure El Estepario worked his ass off for years to get to that level of percussive mastery but without the right genetics and circumstances... I dunno. At any rate, he represents both an inspiration and a discouragement all at once. A truly transcendent musician up there with the likes of Buddy Rich and whoever else.
at 10.27 .. that rrlrrl with the 16th kicks going is so awesome .. the moment is gone before you even realized it happened
He has a video of him going over that Duallist pedal up already if you wanna know more 🤟
You got a new sub here! Elestepario is amazing. He's reinventing drumming. I'm hoping to see you reacting to my other favorites: Baard Kolstaad, Eloy Casagrande and Kai Hahto. I'll give suggestions in you are interested 🤘
