Drummers HONEST Reaction of El Estepario Siberiano - The Pretender (Drum Cover) 

Hey from Holland!!!I was thinking it...and you text it!!!thanks cheers🤭🤘🏻😉 (me not drumming also😊)

Vinny & Carmine Appice has been using that grip since the 70’s ✌🏻😎

It makes his rides sick, and makes his stick tricks easier to incorporate in his playing without sacrificing any speed too. He has a vid titled something like this changed my life, about the technique.

In history?

That is the thing I have yet to see one video where he is playing live with a band

@@mikeb.7183, he just got back from playing with a band for 3 weeks.

@@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc lets see some live in front of a crowd with a band and not perfect studio conditions with limitless takes. Not taking anything away just want to see it with other people in the room playing the songs live

@@mikeb.7183 He used to play with Saratoga, a Power Metal Band

@@iosif2 so where are the videos?

To ty jesteś cienki

To El Estepario Siberiano jest zajebisty.@@VoidCosmonaut

Something tells me no amount of practice would get me to his level. That guy has some amazing talent. Best I have ever seen. I swear I thought it was fake at first. Part of me still has trouble accepting it. He is that good.

@@lperea21 Go easy on yourself. He isn’t saying he expects you to achieve his level of ability at anything but only that you get as good as you can pursuing at least one thing. It’s about personal excellence, not a race to the top. He’s right that if the haters focused their energies this way the world would be better for it.

@@shacktime I just don't agree with his assessment. Maybe he is humble? Some things are just unobtainable without a talent like his. Some people are just built differently.

@@lperea21 We don’t even seem to be discussing the same thing. You’re overthinking his point.

I get what you are saying. But I think he is understating his talent. I don't disagree with the point he is making. Just don't think he is using the best example

I'm pretty sure its's not that he's "Young for Talent" it's that he's young for outdoing and surpassing those veterans that have been doing it for 20 or 30 years. and in His words. " I don't believe in talent it's perseverence and practice to get you to the top".

@@importslunglowful Well, he might be outdoing some in very specific fields (like specific speed techniques and stick tricks). But as an “overall drummer” he has a long way to go in comparison with the “old classic greats”. In my view he’s not really doing anything new. Sure he has specialized his abilities in a couple of fields and really throw them in your face for great effect (and he’s obviously brilliant at social media). But the techniques in themselves are not that groundbreaking. Might I ask if you play yourself? I’m asking (out of prejudice) because a very common feature among the gazillion channels that do reactions on him right now for traffic are either not drummers themselves or beginners without any greater knowledge of “drum-history”. That’s why I made a comment about you referring to his age. Many “reactions-channels” do, and they make him sound like a prodigy. Like: he’s awesome and “only” 27. In my book that’s past the status of a “wiz kid”. For comparison. Vinnie Colaiuta joined Zappa at 22. Terry Bozzio joined at 25. And then we’re not talking about edited and retaken short clips on RU-vid. We’re talking hours a night playing the most complex and challenging music known to man LIVE! And that’s where he needs to go to get me on his bandwagon. Original material and performing it live (and gladly that’s what he said that he will do in the near future in his latest upload). And finally: don’t get me wrong. He seems like a really cool dude, and he has some mad abilities, and I wish him all the luck. It’s his following that get me riled up. He might be great at a couple of things: but no, he isn’t the greatest drummer that has ever lived. It takes more for that title. End rant ✌🏻😂

@@importslunglowful And some examples to back my claims ✌🏻🤩 Jorge is (now) famous for his fast foot and hand singles. But i remember when Jojo did this casually between segments on a 25 years old classic clinic. This is live and he’s just throwing it out there. But believe me, if he focused on only that he could easily do a “clinical speed short” on RU-vid showcasing this wondrous technique. However, all I mean is that it’s nothin new👍🏻 Jojo 1998 ⬇️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UuDc_joZJK4.html

Or this one by Gergo. A non drummer would probably say/think it’s easier since he’s using both his hands. But it actually way harder. Doing alternating singles like this is only done by a select few. It’s like a major pinnacle in drum development. Does it look as impressive: no. But it’s at least twice as hard 😳😅 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HbHKTtBP9FA.html

Well, he does have a lot of videos playing with a band. His solo stuff is to showcase what can be done if you apply yourself. If I'm not mistaken he recently left the Spanish heavy metal band Saratoga and is trying his hand in more jazz oriented music. Kudos to him for expanding his horizons.

Which should I do next?

@@TheHonestTake he has a load of one handed shorts, compile them in 3 episodes and you are golden 👍

Thank you! Played drums for almost 10 years and destroyed my hands from bad technique I’ll check it out!

​​@@TheHonestTake pro tip don't use the technique with wraps or coated sticks, you'll rub the skin off your finger.

I'm not saying you're talking down about him, because at the end it sounds like you are complementing his skill, or should I say complementing his genetics? The first part of your comment is nonsensical. "every achievement, talent and any success in life ALL comes down to chance, luck, and genetics. Then you have idiots saying that no it's hard work." This is dumbest thing I've read on any of his videos. If this were true then he could have just played video games for the last 27 years, sat down at a drum set for the first time today and made this exact video. Do you realize how stupid that sounds? No, he was likely born with a high pre-disposition for incredible dexterity, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination. Then he busted his fucking ass for 15-20 years to hone this skill to what he can do today. I'm sure Michael Jordan could have just played Nintendo until he he was 25 and then dominated the NBA in his first couple years. Sure, Shohei Ohtani should have just wrote poetry all all his life and joined the MLB this year and hit 44 home runs. I cannot understate how asinine this statement is. Think before you type.

lol it makes me giddy with joy that you wrote this using commas. Love the sarcasm

Why? Is diferent but marvelous

I second that. Loads of crazy stuff. One handed, handpan, there is no limit it seems

Yep the holy wars one Jesus christ its unreal

sales man of the decade. Every person reviewing his stuff mentions his drum set

Oh they’re coming!

Marco Minnemann.

Excuse me?

😢acomplejado 😂
