One of the most iconic and awesome intro's ever, and he had to change it....because he already played it much more straight forward a few years back, keeping the "iconic" parts more intact. He's evolved his interpretation quite a bit over the years. ..yes the intro is iconic but everybody has heard the original literally thousands of times, and can also hear the original literally anytime they want.... ORRRR also go back to his older videos, where he's playing it much more straight forward (and btw got no where near as many likes/views). I felt adding this context, to help understand his choices on this cover, was important.
📯 Gracias por tú trabajo, Arturo. Simplemente decirte que este tema icónico lo respetó tanto, que añadió un timbal en su kit "clásico". Cada nota en su sitio, llenándolo todo y haciendo esta canción más grande. Un saludo.
Interesting to see the various reactions to his lastest verson of toxicity. Whats weird is that the very first time i heard this recent specific version of his (sunday morning) , i thought that my TH-cam was delayed loading or something. I wasnt crazy about it until about 2/3 the way through. *BUT* then i listened the next day a few times, and absolutely loved it from beginning to end. It grew on me, big time. Music can be funny that way.
Wanja Groger did an en extreme metal version of this song and a few others you wouldn't quite expect... But they are Awesome interpretations and very true to the dynamic of the song...
This why he said in beginning " this is not how u should play this song But We should have fun shall we" To me starting rolls felt little odd maybe because toxicity's amazing intro have very deep imprint on my mind.
Don’t get me wrong I love everything this guy does. Those mini rolls just threw me off but hey no one can be perfect all the time right? At least now we know this guy is still human
@@TheGhostNotePodcastAgree with your take - Constructive criticism brings positive outcomes , it should be appreciated and accepted . We all love Groovefather 🥁.
I have massive respect for his skills, but musically El Estepario Is not for me. I believe he rarely improves drum parts of famous songs. His arrangements are surely more complicated and impressive technically , but serving the music is a totally different thing. With some exceptions, I really don't like his overplayed style. That being said, once again, I still have massive respect for the man, for his amazing talent and for the obvious amount of study he put into the instrument.
Felt like he was a bit late at points to begin with but c’mon. Mans a genius and he’ll know that but just shows he is human. At least its not edited to be perfectly on
I think he's a great drummer, but in this age off social media more and more people are using their traditionally rythymic and support instruments as lead instruments. His playing is fantastic but feel like it's a lead drum solo, not the solid foundation that the rest of the band builds apon.
His channel is about showmanship and technicality more than anything. It may not be everyone's bag of tea, but I actually respect it. His signature IS to overplay the f*ck out of everything. And, I mean...look at his channel's success. People, including me, seem to really enjoy tasteful, hyper-technical playing. It takes more skill (and, to me, is more entertaining) to implement your own style into songs than to play them verbatum. That being said, I do kind of agree some of the changes weren't too conducive to the song, this time around.
Dude he’s amazing. I always praise him in all my reactions to him but I am seriously in awe in every video. I love that his channel is evolving and the production is going up but it’s incredible to know he can still get better when he’s already got max stats and we are privileged to be able to witness his growth
@@TheGhostNotePodcast Yeah. I love how he's got the chops of a metal drummer, but still plays with incredible feel and dynamics. He's just a really well-rounded player.

Well said
the hats and the stack are so sick, really like the texture of those, great video

Did he not put up before he started the song that this was not how to play this? That he was just having fun? What didn't you get about that?
This VERSION SMOKES!!!!! the original. Sorry truth hurts.
It's not truth, it's just your legit opinion.
You gotta watch his "this is not how you should play it" cover on The Pot by Tool
Absolute masterpiece
I did! Checked it out on a live stream and the video is up on the channel
All the years I been flinging sticks, i ain’t ever see anything like this guy not even close, leaves me speechless tbh 😮
El Estepario ; better & better in every one cover. Lucky to be able to appreciate his unique talent 🔥
From the start I’ve thought he is amazing but as you said right now he’s cranking. It’s so ridiculously good. I’m in awe

EES🔥🔥🔥🤘
This why he said in beginning
" this is not how u should play this song
But We should have fun shall we"

Not his best ... but still out of the ordinary !!!.....The great Mozart did not write only masterpieces😎
I think EES is an astounding talent, but this cover just didn't musically sound good to my ears.. Maybe it just lacked flow and feel.. Not sure..
His very good the best now.
I saw a reaction where a girl watching him , chucks her drumsticks in the bin.
El only makes me want to play better.
To be fair covers should there own not an exact replica unless your auditioning for the band hahaha
their is no point in playing it the original way if your the best of the best at it ,it' way he is so famous

I agree with you on the mini-rolls. They actually are not that precise, either.
Maybe we don’t have the IQ to understand them 😂

I felt the same way about some of it. The rhythm got lost in his drumming at times, imo. Ain’t hating on it, though.

I Absolutely Hate Him (lol/jk) for making Wrecking Ball worth listening to...
You low key hater, bro
Yeah i like a lot of his changes to songs but i felt parts didn't fit that great in this song..
He is extremely talented no question but i hate his playing style. He is way to busy all the time.
You can obviously prefer Abba or Tino Rossi who have sold tens of millions of records
Der ist zwar sau gut , holt mich aber irgendwie überhaupt nicht ab .
Technically, he is a god. Otherwise he's pretty bad.
We can say of Mozart that he is technically good or god... but that he is otherwise bad...but then we must not be afraid of ridicule !
nah, it's not just you. the flow is all sorts of wrong.
i disagree with you, and thats ok
Karen...
His chops are amazing. His musicality is not.
😂😂 most of the time it is musical along with the song. I just don’t think this one was hittin for me like his videos usually do
lol such balony..
@@quinto34 if you’re talking about his chop-salad, yes.
@@GriffRunning Watch more Estepario clips and come back to apologize ;)
@@quinto34you f*cking right.
