Near total limb independence, speed, originality, talent musicality, and total dedication to a work ethic that at times is 8 hours a day. There is no doubt in my mind that he's changing the face of drumming and taking it from the rear of the stage to the front and center. As, always a great reaction Colby and yes...he is nearly robotic, yet still makes it look effortless ( Ps I want that Varus set oh.. so badly)
I know nothing about music. I played clarinet way back in the day as a kid and hated every second. I didn't know how to read music and thought it was dumb. After seeing this beast, I've become absolutely obsessed with the drums. I never realized how difficult the technique was and how in shape you have to be to do this. I've gained a new respect for anyone who can do this. Truly athletic!!
OMG el estepario is the max Verstappen of drums: young, enthusiastic, doesn’t commit errors, and it leaves all that know how to do this, in absolute AWE, and the rest too.
Wow !!! I'm speachless. I'm without wordd my. Upon I had to edit. Upon watching this several times I like several of you have, I noticed one camera, one take but not one mistake.
Holy bananas. The posture, the fluidity, and striking with perfection. DT is in my top 3 bands. So, so excited that Portnoy is returning. However I love what he did for Avenged Sevenfold. An absolute menche. 🤘
That he doesn't rank himself that highly is astounding. The man can't read music but can do this? That's proof that music emanates from the soul above all else.
I just can't get over how frigging TASTY the elements he adds to the original composition. Never really feels like it's done for complexity's sake or to show off.
Man I said it once before. You are either inspired to practice/play etc. Or you want to just Fn throw your sticks in the air, take out the kit cover, turn around, shut off the lights and never look back! I mean who knew you could play like that and still be human. What an ANIMAL.
I’ve been a DT fan since 1994, Portnoy & Mangini have incredible talent that they work hard at pushing themselves with. Here’s an example of practicing and practicing and perfecting skills.
After seeing Portnoy and Mangini, I never thought anyone on Earth could play as fast, smooth, complex, and solid as they, and then came El Estepario came along.....
El Estepario Siberiano did a video breakdown on DTs Dance Of Eternity, and why he thinks Portnoy is one of the best all time. There was background story too. He was dating a chick that wasn't giving it up and she was a DT fan. He asked her if he learned Dance of Etetnity would she reward him ? She agreed. So piece by piece he showed us how he learned each part and the difficulty of them. After demonstrating the part he would comment ...' And that's why Mike Portnoy is one of the greatest drummers. So Portnoy pops up in the comments ..and almost in disbelief thanked Mr Siberiano after saying ..really ? Then he told El Estepario he was pure fire and was glad he helped him get laid.
Really complicated music patterns just come so easy with this machine. I'm no musician but that ending was not your stand 4/4. His independence is beyond phenomenal, and his timing is so damn precise that atomic clocks set themselves to HIM! Yes he learns a song for about two weeks then records it, that's called work!
Just when I think he is approaching his upper limit, he again crashes into the stratosphere with musical interpretation genius.I am ALWAYS astounded by sibierano ! its like watching AI vids designed to cause you to stare in disbelief.Cool,Way and yes...He IS the best drummer alive and one of the best to EVER touch drumsticks..just sayin
Im a huge DT fan. They needed to do something. They havent released a truly great DT style epic masterpiece since 2013. Its not Mangini's fault. He just doesnt have the life chemistry with the band and writing skills that Portnoy has. Hes a great drummer, but the world is full of great musicians. He was signed on to DT when they firing on all cylinders. They put 2 good albums out , and its been down hill since as far as great albums. The 3rd album they did with him was completely different. Fans hated it. So DT started writing songs based on TH-cam comments. Heavy prog Metal. .thats all the fans wanted. So 4 guys played as hard as the song permitted without any personal or emotional touch. In other words...noise. Great musicians make great noise, but it was meaningless.
Jesus tap dancing christ..I hate my drums 30 plus years playing and I have to watch him be perfect with everything, not miss a thing and always so powerful with everything...he's crazy lol ..I wish I could watch him in person to be honest. Much respect from NJ brother 🤘🏼🏴☠️🤘🏼
Well, that is because he shows us the takes that are perfect. Some of these covers require him to practice the song 1 or 2 weeks before recording it, and then it might be done by the 20 take.. He has said that many times. Either way, his new project is starting streaming his rehearsals... that will be cool...
This very cover might have been the single reason Mangini left - his single strokes weren't fast enough, not to mention the flams. This performance is surreal.
Wow… this cover shows that he is 100% The best Drummer… wow! Amazing.. that speed and power with so much punsh… and still not miss any hit.. just perfect grooves!!
My dude is not of this world so haters can hate but you might want to pay attention because he is teaching everyone in all walks of life what hard work & dedication can do for you. BIG UPS BUB.🤟💯💪👽
Neil Peart vibes I get from the man himself El Estapario! Neil was influential to so many drummers worldwide and so is the Groovemaster :) Crank it up!
He should play something a little more challenging lol - seriously this guy's not even breaking a sweat - Pretty soon Mike Portnoy's going to be asking himself what's the point - one last mention: ALL THIS ON A 3 PIECE KIT???
Nobody on this planet is this dedicated. He is the best drummer alive.❤
Absolute genius. There is more than just practice at play here, the guy has a god given talent.
Near total limb independence, speed, originality, talent musicality, and total dedication to a work ethic that at times is 8 hours a day.

That guy is an absolute freak with the percussion. Absolutely absolutely astounding
What blows my mind is how HUGE he makes 3 drums and an array of cymbals sound. You'd swear he was playing on some mega kit.
Agree! It always strikes me how little he needs to sound “huge”!
I use o watch loads of drummers on TH-cam but since i saw this guy,no one comes even close to his ability around a drumkit. Awsome.
The importance of dynamics in playing cannot be understated. He's a total master.
I'd love to see the dude play a huge #!@ kit and kick some booty
I know nothing about music. I played clarinet way back in the day as a kid and hated every second. I didn't know how to read music and thought it was dumb.

Followed DT the first couple of albums. “Images and Words” is a masterpiece. Love the return of Mike P.
What's crazy is how effortlessly he seems to play it, perfectly. Dare I say this guy is on a level above even Mangini and Portnoy.
He's an absolute beast and won't quit, sickest drummer right now hands down...
No words man this man is i simply dont know!! Phenomenal.....
think he's the best drummer in the world now pure skill 😀
This man is amazing ! The drum king with out any doubt ! 😮
YOU JUST WITNESSED DRUMMING ON A LEVEL THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE!!!!!!
Ps plus he's a good dude how he just is honest while explaining things, true genius, GOD BLESS HIM ALWAYS.❤

An absolute menche. 🤘
Laurie earned her sandwich.....!!
Personally I'm gonna miss him in the Winery Dogs. One of the best pure rock & roll bands on the planet.
This is what true dedication sounds like!!!
That he doesn't rank himself that highly is astounding. The man can't read music but can do this? That's proof that music emanates from the soul above all else.
Madness!!! Lest we continue to sit with mouths wide open! Absolute GOAT
I just can't get over how frigging TASTY the elements he adds to the original composition. Never really feels like it's done for complexity's sake or to show off.
This guy. Hit every note he can get.
That kit sounds CRISPY🔥
he has a single pedal version of this song… no words needed😂
Man I said it once before. You are either inspired to practice/play etc. Or you want to just Fn throw your sticks in the air, take out the kit cover, turn around, shut off the lights and never look back! I mean who knew you could play like that and still be human. What an ANIMAL.
the most crazy is how easy he makes it look, like is not a challenge, and with her eyes closed
He just points the sticks - and sh$t happens… It’s just a gift to watch! 🤟🏻
I like his new Video, were he tells, a vid like this, takes 2 weeks of practise and 10000 Takes...
I have never seen a drummer as fast as this guy🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh, man. This guy makes much better all the songs
Omg that was unreal
This is my new favorite song.
He just did master of puppets you gotta watch
This is so good 🤩🤩
My God sir!!!!! i have no words……😂
He has an older version that's done with a single kick. It's really something to see.
Yes, he even does the "legacy" double bass in this one, using the floor tom even if he has double bass..

The Megatron of drums

Mike Portny? It’s Portnoy! 😅
This very cover might have been the single reason Mangini left - his single strokes weren't fast enough, not to mention the flams. This performance is surreal.
He only can’t do mangini single strokes at this point 1:17
Jorge, paisano eres increible.
Unbelievable
Dunno. I might give him a job in my pub band. What's he like on the bagpipes and harmonising kazoo? 😂
Wow… this cover shows that he is 100% The best Drummer… wow! Amazing.. that speed and power with so much punsh… and still not miss any hit.. just perfect grooves!!
My dude is not of this world so haters can hate but you might want to pay attention because he is teaching everyone in all walks of life what hard work & dedication can do for you. BIG UPS BUB.🤟💯💪👽
SHOULD CALL HIM THE FILLER KING
Watch his “ single peddle” version of this it a couple of yrs old
Hey Colby you know he is G.O.A.T.
4mins on ... shit gets real
DT fan here but if i could choose i would have El Estepario playing for DT.
Unbelievable! So great but yet someone out there will complain about it lol... Great job!
Yep .....I'm convinced this guy is a fucking CYBORG.....no mere man can do these chops .....cyborg I tell ya .......cyborg
Simplemente, el mejor
I'd listen to Dream Theater if it sounded like this
Who is Mike Portney?
He has a new triple foot pedal
This dude shaking intire enternet
Damn fuckin good song from dt...
Im not drummer but i feel it fucking crazy😅
Awesome!!! Sorry but this man is the best. 🤷
And how does he go from offbeat syncopation cymbals to on the beat cymbals in the same repeat of a bar so easily!!!!
Darn Colby I thought you would be the next drummer
Neil Peart vibes I get from the man himself El Estapario! Neil was influential to so many drummers worldwide and so is the Groovemaster :) Crank it up!
And I would try out but I'm 70 so I'd fall off the stool in about 30 seconds.
I get a kick out of how he even looks kinda like Portnoy =P
You should check out Chris Turner From Oceans ate Alaska.
THE BEST FOR LONG TIME . LAURENT/ANTIBES
PortNoy as in Toy
This Guy is a cyborg
❤❤❤❤☝️ indonesia
Drum god eternal supreme
Jeeezus H. Kriste
He is so fast, you have to slow dowm the video to see what he is actually doin..
Amazing. Buddy Rich reincarnated.
10x better than Portnoy, even with the few miss girls in that he beginning.
I like Mike M
No way!!! Oh my god!!! He is the best drummer of the world exactly Σ('◉⌓◉’)
Siberian tiger number 1
Naise
🧐🧐👏👏👏👏👏👏😉😉👍👍
Spanking clean.
Why don't you save some of his videos for HIM to get views on? Christ, El Est has made your channel for you
He should play something a little more challenging lol - seriously this guy's not even breaking a sweat - Pretty soon Mike Portnoy's going to be asking himself what's the point - one last mention: ALL THIS ON A 3 PIECE KIT???
not a human....
Sometimes he Looks a Little Bit bored😂🤭
Where is the hater here huh😅
Just show me a better drummer with the sticks man???? There just nothing out there with this ability nothing 🤷♂️
Portnoy is average drummer.
Just adding your face to someone else's content hardly qualifies as a reaction. Unsubscribing and totally disappointed
Super sonic fast
🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐐👌🏻
