The problem with reacting to El Estepario is that when you go and react to a different drummer, you realize that only Estepario can make your adrenaline pump. A legend in the making.
In his own words he doesn't need to be focused to play this. He said he practice watching the tv because he wants to be able to play hard songs even when he is distracted. Un grande el estepario.
The world's best musician and dancer Michael Jackson. His style of dancing and singing music never seems childish. He always sang music in deep voice, so his songs are hit and catchy. Moreover he always wrote teachable music. He was the only person in the world who performed dance-music together in front of live audience. May her soul rest in peace"🇧🇩🎵🎧🇧🇩
I didn't see any cuts. Pretty sure that was all one take. Now we don't know how many times he played that to get the take he wanted, but he got through that one pretty damn clean.
@@cliffoplaysdrums I disagreed with someone once regarding his talent. Something about "god given" or the like. I felt that was an insult. I think one might argue that a basic sense of rhythm is "inherited" somehow, but that's not what made Estepario what he is. No, that was years and years of brutal practice and drills and who-knows-what effort, likely every single day, for hours and hours each day, to reach his level of skill. You could also argue his particular use of that skill. He tends to over use it (IMO). But then I've never actually heard a recording he played on, only his RU-vids, which he crafts to show off his skills, not necessarily to create musical masterpieces. For me, having experienced what it takes to become a mediocre musician, I am most impressed with what I imagine he did to get here, not necessarily what he does in each video (which is unarguably absolutely incredible, of course).
@@MarkTubeG, good point as he does things equally well with either. Let's just say this: What hand does he grab the pen with to write with? Phil Mickelson plays golf left handed. He's right handed, throws the football with his right hand etc but... Learned golf facing his Dad and that "mirror image" is why to this day, he faces the "wrong way".
@@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc I can imagine El Est forcing himself to write with either hand, eating with left at lunch and right with dinner, switch hitting, using his left foot to drive every other day, etc. Making an exercise to advance his drumming out of everything he does. Eats and sleeps it. Challenges himself every minute. Or not. Who knows? Does he ever make any videos about his process? I would find those very interesting.
I was interested myself, so I searched for. It’s Thriller (James Egbert Remix) but seems to be an edited version for El Esteparios Video. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4GWoOlk8gYg.html
I think he knows his audience and he knows what worksZ some of his more recent covers I’ve seen a bit more restraint. But this one, just just went for it. Very entertaining!
i play drums myself and yes he is very good at what he does but i like the groove more and you can show your a great drummer without having to literally overplay every single part of a song so dont get your panties in a twist over someone who has a personal opinion about his drumplay. @@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc
bazrobinson, if you want a boring four-on-the-floor, go watch a high school band. So you see a guy in a new Vette doing burnouts and racing around the corners faster than any other car and YOU complain that he's not cruising at 64 mph in the mddle lane to see how comfortable that car is. You got a Corvette, don't drive it like Dad's driving the family to church, get on it. Same thing with EES, the Corvette. Overplay and overplay which is subjective anyway. EES, we know what you say about haters and practicing, heehee.
I hate saying....oh this guy or that guy is the greatest drummer ever...it's just disrespectful and impossible to say the GOAT. But with that said, I find it hard to see how this guy doesn't end up going down as one of the goats. He doesn't even look like he's trying, and almost looks bored. Losing sticks and still blazing through difficult songs. It's almost criminal how good he is, but an inspiration. And he shows you don't need some giant kit to be awesome. Be interested in seeing your take on Evgeny from Slaughter to Prevail....Hell and Zavali Ebalo live cams. He is ferocious and one of the top metal drummers.
Thanks for the recommendation! I always find GOAT claims difficult as a lot of it is subjective. And there’s different skills different people have. His clarity, speed and creativity are very good. Would love to hear some originals though with him playing
