He meant "decent" as in he knew it wasn't 1:1 exact way to play that song but he did his best from what he can pick up at that moment. But the playing itself is obviously god tier
Brann always stood out to me. His style is very unique to himself. He unapologetically utilizes single stroke sticking, which is awesome to me. This was a blast watching Eloy nearly perfect Blood and Thunder in 45 mins. What a beast.
Brann is unique as fuck and so damn fun to listen to, seeing him play capillarian crest and the last baron for drumeo recently was truly glorious, wish more people reacted to that. While blood and thunder is awesome and a classic I kinda wish they gave Eloy a more difficult song like capillarian crest
the most incredible thing about eloy is that he is a true drum scholar, knowing a ton of styles, and he keep his humility, aways wanting to improve and be a better drummer, even though he had won a ton of awards;
Eloy. Man, it seems every time I hear something from this guy...just when you think, wow he is at the top of his game. He pulls a Deadpool and wolverine and shows you something new and incredible. He did an amazing job. Like old school dominos pizza 30minutes or less. And does THAT...such talent..and that humble attitude. And his openness is certainly top tier high caliber. It's that whole package that makes him who he is and why him and his talent is so appreciated.
When I saw Drumeo had Eloy on for a Mastodon song, I was SO STOKED to see it was Blood and Thunder.. I’ve been a huge fan of both Brann, and Eloy as drummers, and as PEOPLE. Both the best caliber out there imo, and are both tremendously humble, and respectful. The original video did not disappoint, and especially Brann getting to give it a listen in the end, and comment. BOTH total class acts. My all time favorite drummers are: Brann Dailor Mario Duplantier Matt Gartska Eloy Casagrande Joey Jordison Vinnie Paul Danny Carey Respectively.. Honorable mention to El Esteperio Siberiano as well. Like him-I also don’t gravitate toward YT vids/prodigies “just because everyone else is”.. He IS a tremendous drummer for sure, and super fun to watch/listen to.. Thanks for reacting to this one bro! Keep up the killer content! 🍻🤙
DAMNNN 🔥🔥 Eloy's so humble yet his drumming's so damn fire and powerful

You should react to his side project called Casagrande & Hanysz. I love the song Resolution. It has some of his best drumming ever. It really sets him appart from most drummers.
It didn't take him long, he was being extremely gracious to say the least but goddamn he plays so hard its insane! \m/ Eloy is incredible and absolutely the best drummer of this younger generation I have come across. He can do so many different things its crazy, the ghosting is incredible, then the power element of his playing, wow! He clearly stays super fit and strong so I hope this kind of power playing he does can be sustained because we all know what 20+ years of this kind of playing can do to someone. Being super fit like he is, should really help him in that regard.
Regarding his physique, in an interview he said that he prepared his body and keeps him in great shape to play the way he likes to play, so yes, he will have that physique throughout his entire career.
I think the craziest thing about Eloy Casagrande is that I grew up in a small town in Arizona called Casa Grande and the next town over is Eloy. What are the odds?
I know my limits, and I can promise you that I would never be able to do that. Unlike some people who say that if you set your mind up, you can accomplish anything. Nope, not me. But I can’t say who’s the best drummer because I’m going to be biased. Eloy Casagrande and I have roots together, so I’m leaning towards him but I believe it’s unfair due to my emotions come into play… you know what I mean?
Love Eloy but Brann will always be my favorite drummer. Im not downplaying anything whatsoever about this. Eloy is incredible and to learn it so fast. It was an A+ playthrough. But I don’t think Eloy would be able to play with nearly as much power if doing a longer Mastodon song or a Mastodon set. They’re draining. Both have their pros that they utilize perfectly. We’re lucky to have them both in the metal world.
Eloy Casagrande is Brazilian. He added in "Spit It Out" song some drum techniques which are commonly used in old samba and old maracatu songs, an afro-brazilian northeastern rithym. Violence.
We Brazilians love how Eloy's moving our energy fowards playing with Slipknot and all of this Drumeo videos! And he put a "PUTA QUE PARIU" in the end! That's awesome!
You should react to a drum cam of Jamie St Merat from the new zealand based band Ulcerate. He will blow your mind. the best modern extreme metal drummer.
He's amazing! I saw someone say in the comment section, most bands have a lead guitarist, Ulcerate have a lead drummer. Him, and Eloy are two favs at the moment!
Eloy is in my top 5. Along with Abe Cunningham, David Sandstrom, Brandon Barnes annnnd probably Brad Wilk. That being said, there are so many amazing drummers, it’s almost impossible to keep the same top 5 forever. Haha
You should react to Brann Dailor playing capillarian crest and the last baron from the recent drumeo video he did, those songs are way crazier that blood and thunder and imo Brann doesn’t get the love he deserves by reactors which is a bummer because he’s a legend. Anyway sick vid from Eloy he’s fantastic
2 fills. Caveman fills near the end. Dude is a disciple of Aquiles Priester. Never challenge a Brazilian, it can take a few takes but we'll eventually perfect it.
Great react. Tip: You should react to his permance of Resolution.... thank me later! trust me!! You can find it at the Drumeo video: "Applying Brazilian Rhythms To Metal | Eloy Casagrande" @ 23:10
Really? Better than El Estepario?? Hmmm... I mean, Eloy is really good! One of my absolute favorite drummers but better than The Groovefather? Hmmm... I would like to see Eloy play with one hand drinking coffee with his other. Then - maybe - I would agree! 😄
Cmon kiddos, no need to argue, we’re just lucky to have both of them in this era, each one of them has their own unique style, no need to compare them but to enjoy them.
Definitely better than Estepario. Eloy is way more musical, groovier and dinamic than Estepario, when he plays you can kinda feel the song breathe and dance to it... Estepario sounds like a robot, plays straight with no musicality. Playing one handed isn't what makes a drummer musically "better" than the other.. same goes for other musicians that play other instruments.
