HEY THERE GUYS! JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER: I JUST RESTOCKED THE WHOLE MERCHANDISING STORE BECAUSE YOU GUYS BOUGHT LITERALLY EVERYTHING WHILE I WAS TOURING. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK SO DON'T FORGET TO GRAB YOUR MERCH BEFORE IT RUNS OUT, IT MAY TAKE A WHILE FOR IT TO BE BACK! GET ALL OF IT ON www.elestepariosiberiano.com THANKS!
I've been a drummer for over 35 years, I rarely make TH-cam comments, but I have to say this man is the cleanest percussionist I have ever seen. Your limb independence, the beat subdivision, and again the cleanliness you keep in your grooves while traversing your kits is awe-inspiring. I for one have certainly found a few new things to strive for in my practice routines because of your videos. Most importantly, I am truly eager to see the next generation of drummers you inspire from your videos, and what astounding performances they might achieve when they incorporate your techniques and perhaps go beyond what we see here. Please never stop, you are an inspiration to drummers around the world!
Agreed. I’ve also been playing since I was 3 and I’ll b 40 years. He makes everything look so easy. Sometimes it is fairly basic technique-wise (super fast singles/doubles/hertas). But then he starts pulling out 4 way limb independence and adding (extra) ghost notes to flipping meshuggah and AAL songs like it’s no big deal. Then he does it with one hand drinking “coffee”. And smoking “cigarettes”
This is thee single best comment on here... I played this video back a couple times at ¾ speed...that looks more like my comfort zone, if I could play this. Lol.
Hey guys! Thank you so much for your support! If you want to help the bearded fella just drop some comments, leave a like and subscribe! Also, don't forget to let me know any song request that you may have! THANKS FOR BEING HERE TEAM!
I've thought of a few, but today I have something old school on my mind. Edgar Winter - Frankenstein. That one would be cool with some strobes or one-handed. Something to make it more interesting for you. Anxiously awaiting the weekend cover. 😎
My wife just bought me a kit after I sold mine years ago to cover bills. Watching this has me feeling the same way. Not sure if I want to go play it or cry in a corner. lol
You are simply transcending drums, brother. I’ve been playing for 30 years and never come across with anyone with your natural talent and work ethic on the drums. You deserve everything you get and more. You were destined to bring us happiness with music. Never stop my man!! Never stop
Often yes, he plays single handed 😅. Welcome out of your rut, glad you're back😊. This channel is top ten in the world for me. I wish I could play drums. EES IS BECOMING THE GOAT!
As a drummer, it kinda pisses me off, when everybody is talking about his "talent", that insane amount of consistency and dedication and daily training, this man is on par with Olympic level legends🤘
Musician for 30+ years and touring. This is at the highest level meaning he is defining the highest level. This guy is changing the way drums are played.
@@danielstewart2602 He needs 2 sticks in one hand for the two parts of the song where he double taps the symbols, easier to just have the two extras to grab and drop as needed. At least that's my take on it.
@@Bat0541 thanks for saying, I saw that part after I commented and couldn't especially decide I understood what I was seeing - but it sounds so good! moving faster than it is represented, visually, practically!
not making a sad comment, but my niece is blind, she is 14 and she freaking loves the drums.. surprisingly she is into metal/rock.. i m guessing all the things with heavy bass.. I ve just introduced your talent to her world.. she is amazed and she is in a such beautiful innocent awe on how freaking good you are.. thanks dude.. I wish you all the best in everything you do! P.S you have some amazing kind worded fans... and thank you all!!! we support her in anyway possible! \m/ thank you all again for your kinds words.
What is sad about it? Blind people often have unreal talent for music. See Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Andrea Bocelli , among many many others... It brings me joy that she found something that she can realistically do very well and enjoy. Keep it up!!!
Couldn't imagine how long it took to master the 16th note 1 handed high hat part plus the dualist pedal AND the offbeat hi hat pattern all simultaneously. Truly incredible
Bruhhh…. We are literally witnessing an icon right before the whole entire world of music evolves because of them! Across all genres!!! You rock brother!!
In my life, I have seen many professional drummers during special performances and international competitions, as I am an experienced drummer, but I have never seen or heard someone with these skills and artistic sense. The ideal classification for this musician is an artistic phenomenon
It really can’t be overstated that Siberiano is clearly getting better and better with each video. It’s one thing to be able to hold a groove…but it’s a whole other thing to blend so many techniques into a two minute track and add crazy stick razzle-dazzle without missing a single accent or beat. This guy is one of those generation-defining drummers who only comes around once a decade, if we’re lucky. He’s a masterful showman, but above that, he’s an extremely technical artist. Keep it up, bro!🍗🍗
I've watched this so many times now. I can't express how incredible this is. You've elevated this to one of my favorite musical tracks of all time. You took a song which was already great, and elevated this with a near perfect performance. Every detail you added, every bit of practice to make this, was absolutely worth it. Nothing feels out of place. This was like watching the first person who climbed Mt. Everest. If you never made anything as good as this again, you could retire satisfied that you added this beautiful piece of music to the world. But you won't retire yet will you? Of course, you're onto the next, and I wish you every single ounce of success, fame, and fortune that comes your way.
the stick trick transition into the chorus at 1:00 and 1:57 was the cherry on top of a master piece. I've listen to it easily 10 times already I can't get enough.
This is like a drum cover and a magic trick in one. I had to watch it again to see how he was swapping in a third stick and then throwing it away. Brilliant
I've been playing all my life. Never had to punch a clock. I've put a kid through college on my craft. I say all that to qualify this next statement. There isn't ANYONE like this man. Totally unique to him.
As someone who has been lucky enough to play and teach (at a very mild level), the thing that amazes me is that no matter how many notes he plays, it never feels 'too busy'. Him and Carter B are the two that come to mind with this unique skill. Everything is musical and there aren't just a wash of notes for more notes sake.
@@larryharperjrI think this comes from how tight his playing is. His transitions are butter smooth. He forces some notes into a riff towards the end, but otherwise, I'm 100% with you. Just amazing work. Using stick tricks to accomplish something other than flash, to me, is the magic.
@@hermbobsquarehead This could be argued either way really. Yes, he is playing beats, but the differences in the sounds of techniques he's using paint more of a picture than sitting behind a set and riding the beat. YMMV.
Just when I thought it was safe to back into the water! The Groovemaster immerges with another astounding cover in the art of the nearly impossible. Improvising with a simple song to make us all realize that we should not limit ourselves to simple boring drum parts. Musically, I just love how you add drum parts to a song to change the depth! Incredible! Coming up on my 59th Birthday, I though I had seen and heard all of the best of the years. My childhood heroes of Neal Peart, Buddy Rich, Carl Palmer, John Bonham and Stewart Copeland were my inspiration! But seeing you play - I just want to say thank you for making drumming fresh again. You have opened a whole new horizon for us all!
I thought the same thing! I bet most won't even see how he uses the extra sticks in his pants, and how smooth the transition was!! WOW!!! I think he is the damn best in the world! As far as I had ever seen anyway!! He is unbelievable!!
Ok so gonna drop a comment... El Estepario LISTEN UP! My entire life I was born into percussion, my father was a percussionist, my brother, myself, my younger brother. Whole family filled with musicians. I lost my Dad in 2019 due to cancer... El Estepario. I just wish my Dad was alive to hear you play... I wish he could've witnessed you. I was brought up to hear drummers like Neil Pert, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon and so on.... on this mans grave I only wish he was alive to hear you play. Never doubt your incredible skill. You are the very best drummer in my lifetime. 100%
I knew his coordination was incredible with his hands, like I have almost gotten numb to it. But using the dualist like that is crazy. Swapping modes that often is wild.
I’ve been in and around music and musicians all my life. My father was in a well known metal band. Though I took a different direction I’ve always been an enthusiast. This sht blows my mind. Can’t stop watching this dude.
Simply a Leonardo Davinci of percussion. Literally a skill set that brings tears to my eyes. The time, patience, understanding, dedication required...... we should all be proud to be human beings by association based on this man alone. Thank you Sir.
True. As someone who only know how to play harmonica, melodica, & a freakin tuba I indeed appreciate the showcase of such skill. Like seriously, percussion players are beasts.
Absolutely insane. My drum covers could never. I wish I was comfortable showing that much energy and skill in front of the camera for mine. Let alone the production quality and amazing mixing
If your a musician, remember having that 1 idol? The one person that motivated you to progress? Then adulthood comes and those hair on the back of your neck moments watching your idol slowly fade away. This man brought that back for me. I've been killing my drums since finding this guy. THANK YOU!
Fucking hell man…he’s literally Buddy Rich good. He’s literally reinventing drumming. It’s a joke how good he is. Tight as you can be, but somehow still has so much groove (even when playing mechanical sounding parts), unrivalled technical ability, flair, showmanship and impossibly on top of all that still hits hard with what looks like no effort. Never seen anyone make playing drums look so easy! Truly believe we are bearing witness to an all time great.
I have never heard anything like this. Being into drumming or not no one can deny this is a level of talent rarely, if ever found. Iv had this on repeat for an hour
@@DanLafford Honestly, him holding back actually makes this even better. It's so much more enjoyable to listen to than the original song it's not even close. If he went all in it'd be too much and not as enjoyable to listen to imo.
Some people get emotional when they see a work of art that transcends the bounds of it's physical properties - the Sistine Chapel isn't just a painting, the Ecstasy of St Therese is more than just a statue. This, this is more than just drumming. It's a work of art and I can't stop watching it and I get emotional every time. Perfecto!
The true definition of an expert is the person who can do something so mind blowing and make it look like there’s no effort involved whatsoever! I absolutely love this guy! 🤘🏻
If you truly want to be mind blown. Now listen to this track without WATCHING him play it. The fact that he fits insane technicality invisibly (aka organically) into this track and doesn’t get in the way of the *song* is frightening. Next-NEXT level musicianship. That’s his super power. Mind blown.
As a percussionist, dude is actively teaching me what it means to be dedicated. He reminds me what it truly means to put in the time for your passion and your livelihood, as he said in his semi-autobiography, sometimes it's just the desire to perfect a craft, not the craft itself. Respect and appreciation
I'm 11 surgeries in, with a wrecked spine. I used to play several instruments, piano, sax, clarinet, etc... Now my hands don't do what I tell them. so, I love seeing these full songs like this. 100% skill!
I have been playing drums for over 50 years. Pure and simple, I have NEVER seen anything like this in my Life. Sorry Buddy, Vinnie, Tony, and Dennis this guy beats you all. I do not say that lightly either. The effortless precision, speed, and groove is unmatched. And I have seen it all. The best Drummer in the history of mankind !! PERIOD !!!! P.S. I hope you are making at least $1,000 per video because you deserve it for bringing the joy you bring to drumming. Thank you :)
I think he is only earning money from selling merchandising and sponsors, because TH-cam does not want to pay him for his videos due to song's copyrights. He can tell it more in detail, but I think that was the problem. Anyway he is sharing the videos for inspiration, so we can all enjoy! 💪🏼👏🙏 Thanks!
Can’t compare there are all different, he’s the best content creator drummer at the moment, 1 man who has his measure by far but is a touring drummer is Eloy Casagrande, listen to his masterclass live at Chile Hall 1st 10 15 mins he’s the best
@@aaronclark-pearman9030 I will always get a kick out of people like you. The hypocrisy is astounding. You all say, "no comparison and everyone is different." While bringing another name to the table to compare any drummer that is in question. Nice job.
Thanks it’s very subjective, the reality is it’s easy to get mesmerised but this performance due to the well written song he’s tracking to that’s actually the hook, this guy is the best drum you tube creator by far and has astounding ability but he isn’t the best at all and drummers like I suggested have way more abilities but arnent putting into in such an attractive package and bringing it to the tube like El Est is
Unfortunately almost all his videos are demonetized because of copyright. He has a video about it. It's hard to think about when you consider how unbelievably hard he has worked, and continues to work to bring us such joy.
I’ve decided at 35 and depressed I’m finally ready to pick up the drums. I JUST discovered your stuff and I’m ready to spend hours for the next several years. Thank you sir. True inspiration
It's seems your still pushing your boundaries which is not only encouraging but still amazing. You've clearly have worked diligently on your craft. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.
I'm a metalhead and never really listen to music like this (although I like it, I'm just never around it). I have to say, this one has got to be my favorite of your vids. Just like everyone else, I've probably watched it 20 times.
This one literally made me cry. The flow state I see you enter is absolutely beautiful. Your a beautiful man inside and out. Thanks for your talent and hard work. 👍
Tío, es la primera vez que te escribo, aunque soy metalero de corazón, esta canción me recuerda y mantiene unido felizmente a mi madre que murió hace 2 años. La voy a escuchar cada día, me va a dar fuerza. Es increíble el amor que pones en cada tema, en este lo has mejorado notablemente con esa energía que tienes. Te sigo de hace mucho, eres la ostia. Gracias x tu amor. Muchos éxitos bro.
Putting the obvious talent and skill aside for a moment: the tone on your kit is absolutely phenomenal. The snare, tom and bass are tuned to perfection. I don't know if you maintain your kit or if it's a studio tech, but whoever it is is an artisan of the highest tier.
Step... Eres bruuuuutal!!! Llevo 50 años disfrutando de la música... No esperaba llegar nunca a disfrutar de covers con batería... TÚ LO HAS CONSEGUIDO... SIMPLEMENTE, GRACIAS, STEP.
Same, there's not a vid from EES I miss or dislike. It's just an astounding oeuvre of versatile, incredible musicianship and done with such a joy of making music as well.
@@RafaelSilva-jz5jm Lmao! Matt Gartska, Gary Novak, Zach Danzinger, Vinnie Colaiuta, Marco Minneman, Benny Greb, Nate Smith, Dave Weckl, Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Steve Smith, Keith Carlok, Dave DiCenso, etc., etc. Need I go on?
this may be overplaying slightly but take nothing away from this guys talent. In my opinion, El Estepario Siberiano is one of the best drummers on the planet, he has technique, timing and just overall skill. This guy is the metronome and the speed of his drumming is immaculate. He makes it look so easy, mastered to perfection!
I could never play drums, or any other instrument, but whenever you upload a new vid, without realising it, i have an endless smile on my face while watching it. My 7yr old kid asked me the other day why i was smiling. I invited him to sit with me and watch you play, and his face lit up with joy, even though he doesn't know the songs. Obviously he can't pronounce your name, so you're now the "awesome guy with the beard that plays the drums" to him, and he asks me to watch more videos of you playing because he enjoys it so much. You're a true inspiration and a joy to watch mate. Thanks for sharing your music with us, keep doing what you do!
We only discovered your channel about two months ago but I watch your videos with my 10 year old who's been playing drums for aboht a year and a half. He's in awe (so am I) when he watches you and practices all the time because of you. You really reinvigorated his passion.
Still best drum cover in the history of music. I’ll show that to many of my musically inclined friends and I have to pick their jaws off the floor. We’re in the US my guy. My dad was an amazing lead guitar player for 2 bands inducted into Nebraskas rock and roll hall of fame. He says it the best drummer on the planet.
This cover is BY FAR THE BEST of those he played till now. And the most technic. And the most difficult. And the most beautiful. El StepALIENO Siberiano... Simply EPIC!
EL ..you nail it every time..I luv how you’re proving the electronicA..drum world that real drummers can actually create the same sound.. and it pushes the boundaries to another level for drummers..EL your stick working is outstanding..so fun to watch bruh !
Hi 😊 Just to say that this brings tears of joy in my smiling face. The precision of the hands in harmony with the feet...just amazing. You are a pure definition of an artist. Keep being humble and use your creativity to inspire others. A big hug 🫂
I'm gobsmacked by the musicality of this version of this song. Even though you manage to shock people with your skills, you don't overplay it, you enhance it. Fucking amazing work!
I've heard a short, then a reaction, then the original. I drum as well, nowhere near the level of you. I also never comment on youtube. I've listened to this and your playing is touching me emotionally. I've cried while listening to this, for well into writing this comment. I am so happy you've reached the level you are at. It's amazing to me. As a perfectionist myself, I so hope you are proud of yourself. Because you definitely should be. So I just have to leave a comment for once.
@@ChristianIstKeinCO2Schwurbler You can use the TH-cam player's built-in speed control, set it at 0.5x or 0.25x and you can see the movements better ;)
I'm a Producer and Session Drummer. I bring food home and live good exclusively from Music. This is so inspiring yet to continue studying everyday and creating the very best of ourselves. Thanks Man. Keep that amazing drumming coming, blessings from lovely Colombia 🇨🇴 PS: 🫵Best Cover of any song I've seen in years! You DA MAN!
Only 4 other musicians ever Would be able to answer that question . Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Buddy Rich, and Neil Peart. Nobody else qualifies as a game changer.... And now this guy shows up and he's gonna change everything. I'm old so I was fortunate enough to be able to see all 4 of the previously mentioned musicians while they were showing up for the first time and stunning People into absolute silence. And I'm watching the world's reaction to this guy I and I'm seeing the exact same thing. The reaction isn't what you see to somebody that's really good at their instrument. People realize that they're witnessing something that shouldn't be possible and it shouldn't be happening. We're witnessing the third game changer in the world of drumming.
Just started the drums at 46. Been a guitarist forever but always wanted to play. This is stupidly inspirational! I'll play every day for hours just to be half as good as this!
Man, you are a perfect drum machine combined with pure sense of musicality. A true artist with endless skills. Thanks for this new version. Never stop, never give up practicing.
early favorite for best drum performance, stick musmagicianship(probably not a word) . bassdrum foottalion, , accent, and a shoo-in for drum fill (the last big one) of the century
the level of muscle control and endurance Estepario got is just insane, on top of that also being able to separate different commands to different limbs at the same time with that precision to the beat. This is just not something ordinary people can do because it requires a WHOLE LOT of repetition to train both your body and nerves to handle this kind of stress. Whenever i try this, my wrists, arms and legs just cramp up, and then obviously i lose the beat and then the interest.
Turning a regular bland pop song into an interesting musical piece with such a minimal drum set is pure evolution; this is a game changer for every drummer alive.

My childhood heroes of Neal Peart, Buddy Rich, Carl Palmer, John Bonham and Stewart Copeland were my inspiration! But seeing you play - I just want to say thank you for making drumming fresh again. You have opened a whole new horizon for us all!
Unbelievable. As a drummer my whole life, I have never seen or heard anything this amazing, clean and precise. Drum God!
Some of that stuff was insane and it’s a shame most people will not ever understand how good this guy is
Nearly 3 million subs. I think a lot of people know 😄
I think almost everyone knows how good he is. Just saying
I thought the same thing! I bet most won't even see how he uses the extra sticks in his pants, and how smooth the transition was!! WOW!!! I think he is the damn best in the world! As far as I had ever seen anyway!! He is unbelievable!!
i mean i play drums and i sometimes dont understands how he does these incredible things
his not good, his the bestttttttttt!
Bro he's doing sooo much I can't even follow...the concentration...the coordination...this guy is on another level, such talent....keep it up, man!!!
Bruh, just the concentration on the dualist pedal to tap it from single to double is unbelievable.
Ok so gonna drop a comment... El Estepario LISTEN UP! My entire life I was born into percussion, my father was a percussionist, my brother, myself, my younger brother. Whole family filled with musicians. I lost my Dad in 2019 due to cancer... El Estepario. I just wish my Dad was alive to hear you play... I wish he could've witnessed you. I was brought up to hear drummers like Neil Pert, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon and so on.... on this mans grave I only wish he was alive to hear you play. Never doubt your incredible skill. You are the very best drummer in my lifetime. 100%
Your dad seemed like a great person, Jesus love you and keep doing percussion
I play bass and some guitar as a hobby. My father In-law and brother in-law are drummers.... But this dude MELTED MY FUCKIN' FACE OFF! 💀
Best comment 🥁
I knew his coordination was incredible with his hands, like I have almost gotten numb to it. But using the dualist like that is crazy. Swapping modes that often is wild.
I’ve been in and around music and musicians all my life. My father was in a well known metal band. Though I took a different direction I’ve always been an enthusiast. This sht blows my mind. Can’t stop watching this dude.
Simply a Leonardo Davinci of percussion. Literally a skill set that brings tears to my eyes. The time, patience, understanding, dedication required...... we should all be proud to be human beings by association based on this man alone.
Thank you Sir.
I literally cant describe how good he is but that comes close to it
this is not a cover, this is new music. Incredible
yep amazing
Exacto!
I think it qualifies as a remix with the amount that the percussion has changed the song.
You know this is 🔥 when you hear the song on the radio and immediately pull up youtube to play this version!!
DANG BRO that was one of if not the most technical and most difficult performances I’ve seen. You’re a machine 💪
Who needs a drum machine when you can have El Estepario Siberiano?
Fun fact: you dont even have to be a drummer to appreciate how amazing and difficult this is.
I’m not even a drummer nor an instrument player and teared up once he hit that first chorus bc of how beautiful it was
True. As someone who only know how to play harmonica, melodica, & a freakin tuba I indeed appreciate the showcase of such skill. Like seriously, percussion players are beasts.
The things he does with the snare was something.. i didn’t know was a option
True. You can be a legendary vocalist and appreciate it, as well.
music is universal bra
Okay this is the most insane drum performance I’ve ever seen.
Until you hear the next one haha. Dude pulls his talent from every dimension
Ain't seen much yet, huh?
Dig in, this dude’s not human!
Absolutely insane. My drum covers could never. I wish I was comfortable showing that much energy and skill in front of the camera for mine. Let alone the production quality and amazing mixing
On behalf of everyone on this planet, thank you for sharing your talent with us! You took playing the drums to a whole new level
not talent. but skill. hard earned skill through endless practice.
If your a musician, remember having that 1 idol? The one person that motivated you to progress? Then adulthood comes and those hair on the back of your neck moments watching your idol slowly fade away. This man brought that back for me. I've been killing my drums since finding this guy. THANK YOU!
This is an awesome comment. 👌 I can connect
Fucking hell man…he’s literally Buddy Rich good. He’s literally reinventing drumming. It’s a joke how good he is. Tight as you can be, but somehow still has so much groove (even when playing mechanical sounding parts), unrivalled technical ability, flair, showmanship and impossibly on top of all that still hits hard with what looks like no effort. Never seen anyone make playing drums look so easy! Truly believe we are bearing witness to an all time great.
Groove?
OMG! Your drumming doesn’t just set the rhythm-it cranks my heartbeat up to 11! You’ve officially turned my day into a rock anthem!
I have never heard anything like this. Being into drumming or not no one can deny this is a level of talent rarely, if ever found.
Iv had this on repeat for an hour
@@DanLafford Honestly, him holding back actually makes this even better. It's so much more enjoyable to listen to than the original song it's not even close. If he went all in it'd be too much and not as enjoyable to listen to imo.
Right. Same
@@Bassalicious YES. Sometimes throwing 32nd notes in is impressive, but knowing when/where to use them is more useful.
Some people get emotional when they see a work of art that transcends the bounds of it's physical properties - the Sistine Chapel isn't just a painting, the Ecstasy of St Therese is more than just a statue. This, this is more than just drumming. It's a work of art and I can't stop watching it and I get emotional every time. Perfecto!
Lol!
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS. Absolutely incredible.
probably because of the 50 react videos to this piece..
01:00 .... is a godly transition. Soooo smooth.
The true definition of an expert is the person who can do something so mind blowing and make it look like there’s no effort involved whatsoever! I absolutely love this guy! 🤘🏻
If you truly want to be mind blown. Now listen to this track without WATCHING him play it. The fact that he fits insane technicality invisibly (aka organically) into this track and doesn’t get in the way of the *song* is frightening. Next-NEXT level musicianship. That’s his super power. Mind blown.
I scrolled down in the comments for just this. Not to watch him, but just to hear... Its amazing.
As a percussionist, dude is actively teaching me what it means to be dedicated. He reminds me what it truly means to put in the time for your passion and your livelihood, as he said in his semi-autobiography, sometimes it's just the desire to perfect a craft, not the craft itself. Respect and appreciation
I'm 11 surgeries in, with a wrecked spine. I used to play several instruments, piano, sax, clarinet, etc... Now my hands don't do what I tell them. so, I love seeing these full songs like this. 100% skill!
That amount of coordination and precision is absolutely nuts, genuinely can't get my head around it.
It looks so effortlessly...
I have been playing drums for over 50 years. Pure and simple, I have NEVER seen anything like this in my Life. Sorry Buddy, Vinnie, Tony, and Dennis this guy beats you all. I do not say that lightly either. The effortless precision, speed, and groove is unmatched. And I have seen it all. The best Drummer in the history of mankind !! PERIOD !!!!
P.S. I hope you are making at least $1,000 per video because you deserve it for bringing the joy you bring to drumming. Thank you :)
I think he is only earning money from selling merchandising and sponsors, because TH-cam does not want to pay him for his videos due to song's copyrights. He can tell it more in detail, but I think that was the problem. Anyway he is sharing the videos for inspiration, so we can all enjoy! 💪🏼👏🙏 Thanks!
Can’t compare there are all different, he’s the best content creator drummer at the moment, 1 man who has his measure by far but is a touring drummer is Eloy Casagrande, listen to his masterclass live at Chile Hall 1st 10 15 mins he’s the best
@@aaronclark-pearman9030 I will always get a kick out of people like you. The hypocrisy is astounding. You all say, "no comparison and everyone is different." While bringing another name to the table to compare any drummer that is in question. Nice job.
Thanks it’s very subjective, the reality is it’s easy to get mesmerised but this performance due to the well written song he’s tracking to that’s actually the hook, this guy is the best drum you tube creator by far and has astounding ability but he isn’t the best at all and drummers like I suggested have way more abilities but arnent putting into in such an attractive package and bringing it to the tube like El Est is
Unfortunately almost all his videos are demonetized because of copyright. He has a video about it. It's hard to think about when you consider how unbelievably hard he has worked, and continues to work to bring us such joy.
We are so lucky to experience this mans greatness.
I love this guy. His speed, transitions, flow, timing, and foot work is amazing. Drum on. Been at it 25 years plus. This is art
I’ve decided at 35 and depressed I’m finally ready to pick up the drums. I JUST discovered your stuff and I’m ready to spend hours for the next several years. Thank you sir. True inspiration
This mother trucker is THE GREATEST DRUMMER in the WORLD. Complete mastery of the instrument. Love you my guy.
It's seems your still pushing your boundaries which is not only encouraging but still amazing.
You've clearly have worked diligently on your craft. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.
I'm a metalhead and never really listen to music like this (although I like it, I'm just never around it). I have to say, this one has got to be my favorite of your vids. Just like everyone else, I've probably watched it 20 times.
Truly created a new ceiling for drummers. Absolutely insane
This one literally made me cry. The flow state I see you enter is absolutely beautiful. Your a beautiful man inside and out. Thanks for your talent and hard work. 👍
absolutely. he was in the freaking zone
That stick flip transfer to the other hand was smooth as silk. Blows my mind evertime I watch. Well done Sir!
Truly awesome! The 'cymbal-grabs' got me too!!!
Thank you.
Any time I hear this song, anywhere, El Estepario's version is what I hear.
For that, I will be, forever thankful.
He's not just playing the drums...he is the drums.
❤!!! YES!!!❤
Like Jim Lahey!
he is drum machine
He plays with himself As one with the kit 🎉
To play the drums you have to become the drums.. Zen Drumming :D
Tío, es la primera vez que te escribo, aunque soy metalero de corazón, esta canción me recuerda y mantiene unido felizmente a mi madre que murió hace 2 años. La voy a escuchar cada día, me va a dar fuerza. Es increíble el amor que pones en cada tema, en este lo has mejorado notablemente con esa energía que tienes. Te sigo de hace mucho, eres la ostia. Gracias x tu amor. Muchos éxitos bro.
Putting the obvious talent and skill aside for a moment: the tone on your kit is absolutely phenomenal. The snare, tom and bass are tuned to perfection. I don't know if you maintain your kit or if it's a studio tech, but whoever it is is an artisan of the highest tier.
Step... Eres bruuuuutal!!! Llevo 50 años disfrutando de la música... No esperaba llegar nunca a disfrutar de covers con batería... TÚ LO HAS CONSEGUIDO... SIMPLEMENTE, GRACIAS, STEP.
I am not a drummer, never been, never will be, but....this is something i have never seen. Brother you are something else. Wow. Well done.
Don't worry, I play and watched a lot of drumming, never seen anything like this before. Better than this? Maybe, but this is truly one of a kind
Same, there's not a vid from EES I miss or dislike. It's just an astounding oeuvre of versatile, incredible musicianship and done with such a joy of making music as well.
This guy's technical ability is absolutely insane!!!! IMO, there is none better
Lol! You're joking right?
@@elmhurst86 Name them then
@@RafaelSilva-jz5jm Lmao! Matt Gartska, Gary Novak, Zach Danzinger, Vinnie Colaiuta, Marco Minneman, Benny Greb, Nate Smith, Dave Weckl, Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Steve Smith, Keith Carlok, Dave DiCenso, etc., etc. Need I go on?
@@RafaelSilva-jz5jm You're obviously not a serious drummer.
Amazing skills but 0 soul
this may be overplaying slightly but take nothing away from this guys talent. In my opinion, El Estepario Siberiano is one of the best drummers on the planet, he has technique, timing and just overall skill. This guy is the metronome and the speed of his drumming is immaculate. He makes it look so easy, mastered to perfection!
just when I think this guy has done every amazing trick I can think of, he pulls out that one handed hi-hat action at 1:18. Jesus Christ
I could never play drums, or any other instrument, but whenever you upload a new vid, without realising it, i have an endless smile on my face while watching it. My 7yr old kid asked me the other day why i was smiling. I invited him to sit with me and watch you play, and his face lit up with joy, even though he doesn't know the songs. Obviously he can't pronounce your name, so you're now the "awesome guy with the beard that plays the drums" to him, and he asks me to watch more videos of you playing because he enjoys it so much.
You're a true inspiration and a joy to watch mate. Thanks for sharing your music with us, keep doing what you do!
We only discovered your channel about two months ago but I watch your videos with my 10 year old who's been playing drums for aboht a year and a half.
He's in awe (so am I) when he watches you and practices all the time because of you. You really reinvigorated his passion.
that's not human, freaking amazing
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, this dude comes along.
My soul feels joy when I here this guy play. My respect. My favorite drummer ever.
Danny Carey #1 no questions behind Neil purt then Jordy then Ole El E!!!
Still best drum cover in the history of music. I’ll show that to many of my musically inclined friends and I have to pick their jaws off the floor. We’re in the US my guy. My dad was an amazing lead guitar player for 2 bands inducted into Nebraskas rock and roll hall of fame. He says it the best drummer on the planet.
One of his best performances. That was really something
This cover is BY FAR THE BEST of those he played till now. And the most technic. And the most difficult. And the most beautiful. El StepALIENO Siberiano... Simply EPIC!
that's double bass before the "Oooo" gets me every time! killed
it hands down!!!!! 🤙🤟
EL ..you nail it every time..I luv how you’re proving the electronicA..drum world that real drummers can actually create the same sound.. and it pushes the boundaries to another level for drummers..EL your stick working is outstanding..so fun to watch bruh !
2:31 is a ludicrously good fill. It mixes speed, chops, and feel perfectly!
Very nasty.
And the look into the camera just like "K check this out now" :) Dude is something else. :)
Hi 😊
Just to say that this brings tears of joy in my smiling face. The precision of the hands in harmony with the feet...just amazing. You are a pure definition of an artist. Keep being humble and use your creativity to inspire others. A big hug 🫂
I'm gobsmacked by the musicality of this version of this song. Even though you manage to shock people with your skills, you don't overplay it, you enhance it. Fucking amazing work!
It's incredibly beautiful. Very beautiful. It's just beautiful. I've never watched another video where time passes so quickly before🤘🏻
I've heard a short, then a reaction, then the original. I drum as well, nowhere near the level of you. I also never comment on youtube. I've listened to this and your playing is touching me emotionally. I've cried while listening to this, for well into writing this comment. I am so happy you've reached the level you are at. It's amazing to me. As a perfectionist myself, I so hope you are proud of yourself. Because you definitely should be. So I just have to leave a comment for once.
I keep rewatching this video and it blows my mind every time. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, Estepario.
That transition into the second chorus at 2:00 was slick 👌🏼
I'm still trying to get my jaw back in place, that was really sick indeed!!
He does it at 1:00, too lol.
A Super-slo-mo would be helpful for me to understand what he did all together in that second. 🤖
@@ChristianIstKeinCO2Schwurbler You can use the TH-cam player's built-in speed control, set it at 0.5x or 0.25x and you can see the movements better ;)
@@band.batiscafo Thanks a lot! But that's not slow enough. 😄
Tá louco! 😅😂😂😂 Nunca vi nada igual na minha vida , sinistro! Fora da curva ao extremo. Esse cara não é humano.
I'm a Producer and Session Drummer. I bring food home and live good exclusively from Music.
This is so inspiring yet to continue studying everyday and creating the very best of ourselves.
Thanks Man.
Keep that amazing drumming coming, blessings from lovely Colombia 🇨🇴
PS: 🫵Best Cover of any song I've seen in years! You DA MAN!
I wonder what it’s like knowing there isn’t another soul on the planet that can cover this song like this.
Only 4 other musicians ever Would be able to answer that question .
Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Buddy Rich, and Neil Peart. Nobody else qualifies as a game changer.... And now this guy shows up and he's gonna change everything.
I'm old so I was fortunate enough to be able to see all 4 of the previously mentioned musicians while they were showing up for the first time and stunning People into absolute silence.
And I'm watching the world's reaction to this guy I and I'm seeing the exact same thing. The reaction isn't what you see to somebody that's really good at their instrument.
People realize that they're witnessing something that shouldn't be possible and it shouldn't be happening. We're witnessing the third game changer in the world of drumming.
@@grahamstuart9164maybe Danny Carey too.
I watched this 20 times this weekend and again 3 times so far this Monday morning...
Just started the drums at 46. Been a guitarist forever but always wanted to play. This is stupidly inspirational! I'll play every day for hours just to be half as good as this!
Man, you are a perfect drum machine combined with pure sense of musicality. A true artist with endless skills. Thanks for this new version. Never stop, never give up practicing.
I just can’t stop smiling every time I see you playing . Truly a masterpiece.
Anyone else think this is his best one yet?
Absolutely agreed
early favorite for best drum performance, stick musmagicianship(probably not a word) . bassdrum foottalion, , accent, and a shoo-in for drum fill (the last big one) of the century
the level of muscle control and endurance Estepario got is just insane, on top of that also being able to separate different commands to different limbs at the same time with that precision to the beat. This is just not something ordinary people can do because it requires a WHOLE LOT of repetition to train both your body and nerves to handle this kind of stress. Whenever i try this, my wrists, arms and legs just cramp up, and then obviously i lose the beat and then the interest.
I AM NOT WORTHY!!! Holy shit Estepario, you've redefined the foundation of drumming. Keep slaying bro!
This is absolutely mesmerising. Captivating and tasteful but technically elevating a track can only be done by a masterful musician.
El Estepario is a beast! He's just transcended into another dimension of drumming. 🙌
You are amazing!!! I'm my humble opinion you are the best drummer/ performer in the world
Turning a regular bland pop song into an interesting musical piece with such a minimal drum set is pure evolution; this is a game changer for every drummer alive.
I hadn't realized how simple the set is until you mentioned it. Holy crap.
