Hello, I'm a mod in the game of life. I'm here to ask you to stop hacking and data mining. You're breaking the game Bro wtf, how did his parents ascend to a new level of precognition like that..? This is one of those 'wait, is life just a twelve year old mashing action figures into each other' moments...... Is our reality constructed.......? Is Mario a character who plays the role of an abstractum...? Am I just some old and worn green army-man tossed to the side and left to observe this awfully on-the-nose display of imagination........?
There are so many notes, but it never feels like a showoffy segment, but more like a cohesive composition. He's such a skilled, melodic drummer, always a pleasure to listen to!
Gojira being a band that, perhaps more than many others, rely on an almost ancient feeling percussive flow, its no wonder their drummer has the capacity to create art all on his lonesome. Hot damn.
What’s fascinating about this is that it reminds me of gojira style instead of just sounding like a typical, difficult drum solo as we’ve seen it a hundred times before.
What I love about this (and 'Minotaur) is that, not only are they technically impressive, but they sound and feel like actual songs and that every part of it fits. It's like he is telling a short, but powerful story through his kit. Amazing drummer.
@@stephenhughes5156 Yeah there was a consistent theme throughout. Most drumemrs just try to show all their most technical chops and miss that trick. This was a little more simple to play but better for it maybe?
Honestly this is a pretty good drum solo. Any drummer with access to the internet and knows a few basic drum concepts can spend 5 minutes trying to impress people with chops. But this is surprisingly melodic. Of course he has chops, but he always finds a way back into a the melody of the drum solo. This dude isn't just a drummer. He's a musician.
What I like about the solo is that it like a song. Not some random parts doing crazy fast shit to show off like a lot of drum solo's from other drummers. This just sounds great.
Technical proficiency...creativity...and originality...all in spades! This guy is what a drummer should be. Annnnnnd...in case no one has noticed...it's all room mics. How many drummers and drum kits sound THAT good with just room mics???? Perfectly tuned and played.
I certainly recognize the band Gojira as a talented group of musicians even though the music itself doesn't catch my ear. Even more so I recognize Mario as one of the forefront drummers in music right now. His material on TH-cam is simply some of the most ear friendly and inspiring solos I've heard lately.
THE GOD - THE ODIN!! No wonder he is one of the top drummer of all time. THey have the best / odd tempo changes that just fit every-odin-dam-time!! Band for LIFE!
mike portnoy, mike mangini, danny carey, marco minnemann and some other guys would not agree with a statement like this. there is no way to say one is better than everybody else
@@davidfischer1971 oh my God, the correct police is here. It is my opinion. You are allowed to have yours. Mario has, BY FAR, the freshest approach to metal drumming for years now.
@@davidfischer1971 Oh yes, you can. You just haven't provided enough evidence for me to change my mind. Of course Portnoy created a generation of drummers. As Neil did. Including Portnoy. I've been playing drums for the past 25 years now. I listen only to heavy metal, jazz and blues, for about 30y now. So I know a thing or two. Portnoy is a legend, but not as exciting anymore. So is Danny, the last tool album is fantastic. But they are consistent, brilliant drummers at what they do. Nothing new album in, album out. I can say the same about Thomas Haake, Richard Christy, Gene Hoglan and those other ungodly folks that are masters at this instrument. But, if you listen to every Gojira album, Mario is evolving his playstyle, chops, tricks, it all. I base my position on the fact that he is always evolving and bringing something new to the pot. The way he uses crashes, the odd times, unexpected chokes and fills. Everything seems different. It is REALLY hard to come up with new concepts and chops nowadays. Everything has been made before. By those exact ppl I mentioned before. Somehow he pulls it off. See? Maybe you have a different point of view and can change mine.
Absolute madman.. My first time listening to Gojira was "The Art of Dying" and Mario instantly became one of my favourite drummers ever. He is the best Metal drummer I have ever seen, hands down. Like if Peart took the Metal pill, this is what you would get \m/
There is something extraordinary about Mario's playing. He's easily one of the most creative and musical drummers in the entire metal genre. In fact, I'm willing to bet he'd be right at home in most genres. Simply a pleasure to listen to.
This won't be topped by another drummer for the end of time. Hands down the best I've ever seen amd I've seen alot of greats but this guy is above all.
Merci mario pour m’avoir donné l’envie de jouer de la batterie, de ne pas abandonner, de surmonter la peur de la mort grâce à Gojira, et d’être un être humain formidable :)
@@dimitripapadinikolaus Kollias and Paoli are way more technical and faster, but kind of lack the Feeling when it comes to their music. Cant really say much about Haake and Richard Christy is awesome.
@@johnvincent1823 Maybe, but look up "Where Dragons Dwell" live by Gojira, Mario does double base for 5 or 6 minutes straight without missing a beat, it's pretty awesome.
I've been playing drums for nearly 30 years and I practice an hour a day. Mario is truly a great drummer. He has all the technical power but also loads of dynamics and unquie style.
Ce solo est incroyable. On dirait qu'il est vivant, il s'exprime à travers des émotions... pour moi c'est clairement un chef d'œuvre soigneusement maturé et réfléchi, qui reflète plus que juste de la technique à la batterie. Complètement fou.
Un solo débordant de technique et d'indépendance ! Le plus incroyable avec Mario, c'est qu'on reconnaît sa créativité, sa manière d'utiliser les différents sons...son intention de frappe... parmi nombres de batteurs (métal) d'exceptions, ce sont ses grooves tribaux que je préfère ! Ça transpire la connexion....Merci à toi Mario, et à vous Gojira !
I'm a drummer, but there aren't many drummers whose solos I enjoy any more. They are all so samey. The only exceptions are Mario and Gavin Harrison. 2 of the greatest drummers I've ever heard/seen. The others at the pinnacle of drumming are Tomas Haake and Dominator, in my opinion. 🤘🏻
Ah la la !!! Que de chemin parcouru ces 30 dernières années. Superbe solo Mario. Belles consonances Latino. Et très belle route avec Jo'. Chapeau les frérots. Pierre LEBOEUF.
@@johnvincent1823 I grew up on Neil Peart, seen both him and Mario Duplantier live in person. And I can tell you that Mario has every right to be in the same sentence as Neil Peart. Mario is hands down the best death metal drummer i've heard and most creative. And i've been drumming for a long time to know that. I've played in Jazz bands, seen a lot of Jazz drummers, and Mario is up there with some of the best to ever do it.
Keith Zwicker I got the same feeling after watching this video. We’re going to see Mario respected as one of the greats one day, and then look back to now and see how fortunate we were to see it for ourselves.
So he can play a whole show without his right leg falling off. A lot of drummers will do things like this for one-off showcases but will play it differently live in order to save energy and make it through a whole set
I watched 2:50 about 15 times trying to see what you guys are calling fast. Obviously you guys have never seen death metal drumming if you think this is fast. This guy is a great drummer, but to say he obliterates this pedal? Gotta expand your listening a little. Try this for starters th-cam.com/video/RqzZmNqdWck/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dpWEVMwZmD8/w-d-xo.html
I found a new favourite drummer today, holy cheese flutes, this guy is incredible, I love how he kept reinterpreting the same phrase through triplets and quarters etc. Just started checking our Gojira too, pretty good stuff right there ;)
J'adore Gojira et une raison pourquoi je les adore sont les tambours et il n'y a personne qui a assez du talent que Mario! Il est exceptionel et toujours une grande inspiration pour moi-même
That was amazing Mario!! You are such a big influence on my drumming style. How does someone with your talent stay creative with drumming? I find my self playing the same licks and practicing the same songs.
Listen his solo, it's not about licks but musical phrasing : you can sing what he's playing, try to achieve that, listen to lots of good music in many genres and you will never run out of ideas :)
Learning to read music helped me widen my horizon and try out different routes i would never have thought of myself . Keep having fun with it is rule number one !!
A lot of people are saying "Neil Pert" because of recent events, but to me this solo feels like he's channelling John Bonham in a way i haven't seen anyone pull off before.
Yeah. That was smooth af divides the feeling of the solo very well. I'm not a drummer so I was confused about his snare and had to go back to see where he puts the snare on (i think the brush thingy is called snare, i'm not a drummer)

Gojira and Tool
@@JimbrasMermelevos i just can't get into tool. Gojira feels almost primal and instinctual while tool to me feels cold and calculated.

Exactly
I listened to this on repeat for 6 hours on shrooms. It *is* like a song
Much like the musical journey Gavin Harrison lays out.
Never before has a drum solo spoken to my soul like this. can't believe I'm just now finding this.
I can watch this drum solo again and again, it never gets boring
Dude I effing know. I took shrooms and was stuck rewinding these for 6 hours. This and his infinitely amazing 2022 solo
Everytime I click on the next video I swear that's my favorite. But this is really my favorite metal solo.

One word.....dynamics. Such control and precision.....world class drumming.

2:44 - I want this groove in a song.
He whole solo deserves to be harmonized tho
It's kinda like the faded line by Lamb of God

Not that I know the guy, but I think Neal Peart's departure may have been on his mind here. Those are some big shoes to fill.
Greatest drummer of all time, in my opinion.Fantastic!
Le seul batteur qui arrive à la fois à te donner envie de progresser et en même temps d'arrêter la batterie
Those cymbals look BEAUTIFUL.
Why is nobody talking about the smooth transition at 1:56 ??
Yeah. That was smooth af divides the feeling of the solo very well. I'm not a drummer so I was confused about his snare and had to go back to see where he puts the snare on (i think the brush thingy is called snare, i'm not a drummer)
