That is one of the most difficult pieces to play by any drummer. Best of the best. Stefano wouldn’t be able to play a cover of it.

    Thing I love about El Estepario is he puts all these extra hits in but stays perfectly on time with the song, he finds these little cracks and crevices all over to just add more musicality to the drums.

    I think the aspect that you were trying to express with the term "tasty" is what we in Trinidad and Tobago call "sweetness" when playing steel drums. It's about the way the music and/or performance makes us feel, rather than measurable things like technical proficiency or speed. And , frankly, I think it is what makes a piece of music or a performance great to listen to over and over again, or to sing along with, or dance to.

      The problem is that he's too good and might not fit in well with other musicians that aren't quite at that level. This guy has to be in a band where everyone is on a similar level, he actually has quite the uphill battle in my opinion. It's kind of like the premise that the most attractive people never get hit on, if that makes sense.

      Phenomenal drummer and all round percussion talent however………. You are kidding if you think for a second that the ‘band’ (as a whole) and the studio producer would give this version the thumbs up to be released as a single etc. nb this is not, repeat not, a criticism of El Espesario. It is what it is, a fun and great showcase of his drumming.

      Theres a fair bit of sampling going on with that drum tone, and its anything but natural. More than likely he has used the mics to capture the transients, which have then been sound replaced/augmented.

    I found El Estepario Siberiano watching your videos, the first reaction video you did on him actually. And I, like many including you, sat there with my jaw hanging somewhere around my knees. I played some in high school and beyond so I know how difficult what he does is. I really agree with you on this one. A lot of what he does seems a little over the top for his own pleasure, and wouldn't work with the band. I think this one could. The man's a monster (AI... hmm). I had thought I would pick it up again, it is great exercise for the body and coordination as I am over 60 now and I spend a great deal of my time at a desk typing. I think I'll stick to walking and waiting for more videos from the both of you. Thank you!

    Okay, I've been watching El Estepario for long time now and I think it's safe to say at this point. Yes, there are drummer icons, Peart, Portnoy, Bonham, Palmer, Buddy Rich, Moon, BUT...El Estepario is the Eddie Van Halen of drums. Eddie was not only amazing as we all know, he was so innovative that he changed guitar playing forever. I believe that El Estepario is doing and introducing drumming techniques that are so innovative and amazing that he will be seen in that vein of the great drummers of our time.

    Ive watched him play this probably 100 times. It is one of my absolute favorite. I can no longer hear the original song with out him shouting in the background in my head. But all the times ive watched him play this, it was the 101st on your channel that i noticed in his epic breakdown, at his busiest moment in the whole song, his right hand was dedicated to twirling a drumstick. There is literally so much other stuff going on its hard to see tho it is in plain sight. But yes he does tricks in this one. I hope to be someday half as competent at anything as this man is to drumming.

    El Estepario's drumming is a combination of athletics, mathematics, rudiments, and Zen. I weep tears of joy watching his drumming. Like it is just not humanly possible. I would compare it to a person being blind for 50 years and then being given sight in full color. And he just says "practice". Not quite my friend.

    He's a fantastic drummer. That said, during the breakdowns, silence is golden. Meaning, play, but allow the parts that are important to shine through.
