EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO BLINDING LIGHTS - THE WEEKND | DRUM COVER Drummer FIRST TIME HEARING 

This planet has seen many great drummers but few have the speed, accuracy and creativity this guy has. His playing looks effortless, like hes not even close to his limits.

The creativity the use of sticks techniques appearance ease of play unbelievable speed and accuracy. Not to mention his ability to completely separate every limb from each other in so many ways. He is completely reimagining, reinventing how people perceive drums, how they play drums and how to use the set. No one, and I mean no one has ever been able to use the drum set in a way that this man does.

I'm not even a drummer and I can't get enough of watching him play. It's freaking hypnotic.

I think the most remarkable thing about him is his appeal to both drummers and non-drummers. What he's doing transcends his instrument.

He is a generational talent with unrelenting, uncompromising drive. That’s hard to beat.

I mean, yes it's flashy. But what amazes me is how in the pocket he is! The guy is a human metronome. Lots of guys can do flash and stick tricks, but their timing is all over the place while doing it. This guy... never misses a beat AND shows off. So impressive.

Man this guy is my favourite drummer of all time. He can play everything!

Each Limb has independence Amazing Hand eye coordination Perfect Rhythm Absolute mastery of the drums. We are all alive to witness the greatest drummer in his late 20s. Just wait til he’s 40

Probably his best cover. His smiles, he is so funny that we ,mortals, enjoy watching.

You nailed it saying he's reinventing drumming... amazingly talented and hard working...

He has reached a new stratosphere of talent with precision, skill, flair, style... it's inspiring but feels lightyears ahead of anything obtainable. Definitely one of my favorite internet finds.

This guy is the W A MOZART of the drum kit! A once in a millennial talent! The best drummer I’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing your talent to the world.

No comment would ever do this guy justice. I'll just say I can't stop watching him. He has literally broken the internet. The number of folks doing reaction vids of him is off the charts.

Every once in a while a talent comes along that redefines how an instrument is played, see Hendrix for guitar, Pastorius for bass, Jarre for keyboards. This guy is that talent that redefines drumming

I posted this on his channel video - he's practiced so much his limitations at this point are not physical, they're mental. The barrier is imagination. What a place to be with a musical instrument.

Colby, He’s not the Michael Jordan of playing drums… He’s the whole 1992 Olympic Men’s Basketball team! You know what I’m talking about, they were known as “The Dream Team”, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippin, Stockton, Larry Bird, Chris Mullin, David Robinson, Clyde Dexter, Isiah Thomas, and Magic Johnson. He’s beating those drums like they beat every team they played that year! He’s just got it man, and just gets better with every video with the different combos he’s coming up with to get the almost impossible sound he gets from his kits. Love watching him, he’s on a different level.

Been watching this guy a while and am constantly amazed. I’m an old rock and roll drummer and never knew this level even existed

Been listening to music for 50 years and seen some of the best ever play live. This guy is other level.

Huge talent is frequently miss understood .El Estepario gathers different kind of musical gift , all in one single outstanding artist . Musicality , precision ,independence , power & creativity .

Def. my favorite drummer he always does his very best when playing any song and his dedication is relentless.

Wait wait wait…..at 57/58 seconds into this video he flipped a stick ends up playing with TWO in his right hand to double time the high hat, like what 😮🙆🏼‍♂️🤩

Dudes a beast. Probably the best drummer on the planet

I commented before but on this latest i wanted to drop this again in case someone else wants to read the message i sent him Every once in awhile there needs to be a dynamic shift in what we believe is possible. People get bored and think that the possibilities have all been conquered. Those are not the true believers. Wherever you came from and whoever sent you, I lay praise at their feet and thank them with never ending blessings for sending you. It isn't just about music or music theory. It isn't even about instruments or what that instrument is capable of. It's the human mind and spirit that has endless capability not the vehicle you channel it through. It is up to us to believe in that and you have been chosen to deliver this message to those that choose to hear it. It's not about the drums it's the reinventing of the minds belief that I have no limitations.... thank you. You have shaken things up and awaken spirits that have been dormant. You have tremendous power to change lives my friend. You have changed mine. Thank you and keep up the life changing lessons and work we are blessed to receive.

His ability to sit in the pocket and shift rudiments so cleanly is just so good, my ears love it. And he is so incredibly creative!

I just love watching him play. Said it before. A high powered mutant of mass destruction, never designed for mass production. Anyone hating on this dude does not practice hard enough. He’s done the hard work and it shows! Full respect!

Hey guys I said it before, I'll say this AGAIN. El Estepario is a crazy, among the best drummers I've ever listened to. He is the Master of Masters, no doubt about it. That he is an alien as many say? hmm, might come to mind. But when it comes to El Estepario , he is a monster like no one , I mean it in writing , NO ONE can stop. He plows through the best drum players I've seen of all time. That others claim to be the best remains to be seen.

I think the really exceptional thing about him is his incredible diligence. Yes, he's an incredible drummer, but he could do anything, it's his constant commitment to practice that is really amazing to me. Most people skip a day here or there, or constantly jump from one thing to the next. To have the maturity & self discipline to practice the way he does is really a lesson for all of us, no matter what you do. It shows hard work pays off, and if you really want it, you can get it.

I'm not a drummer, I'm a guitarist BUT I can't stop watching he's drumming...it's just out of this world!

I got emotional watching his video of this cover when he released it. Not a big fan of the weekend but he was able to give this song a whole new feel thru percussion and that's damn impressive in my eyes. 🤘💪👍

Colby, loving your appreciation of a fellow musician. Estepario is def my favourite technical drummer. I don't know about his creativity and song writing, haven't heard much of his own stuff, but his technical creativity is definitely unbeatable. Also it's so refreshing to see him have so much fun with very different genres and he seems to love music in general.

He's on his way to being a modern day Paganini of the drums. Coming up with new approaches, and techniques which at least initially only he can play, because he came up with it. It's amazing to see, and honestly drums is not where I would have expected it to come from.

I've watched all of his videos and have been following him for awhile. He's insane and just keeps getting better and better. This video with everything in it is by far his best full length video. It is insane everything he does.

*El Estepario Siberiano* is my current and all-time favorite drummer because he has a sense of rhythm, power and time combined with an uncommon sensitivity and an extraordinary imagination which leads him to be, as well as very good and very fast, very likeable in his virtuosity (which never hurts)!

He is one of the rare human beings that knows how to and is willing to put the effort into being the best he can be at his craft. It’s just that his best is so far ahead of anyone else it doesn’t seem possible what he is doing. Such an inspiring person.

I’m speechless every time I watch this guy. Absolutely astonishing! 🤘

Since I'm Swedish I'll say he's the Zlatan of drums! 🥰(Zlatan is our most known/famous soccer player). Estepario is not only a drummer - he's an entertainer! Love him!

I cannot get enough of this video! The speed, precision, flash and absolute skill he has is the best I've seen. Again thanks for covering this video and your appreciation. You asked if he inspires or makes you want to quit; he should inspire everyone who loves drums 🥁

"The Michael Jordan of Drums"... totally agree!!!

I've admired drummers for decades, their techniques and ability to keep the constant pace. I've seen good ones, exceptional ones and down right awesome ones but this, this dude is from another planet or solar system. The first time I saw a video of him doing a drum cover, I was just stunned. After watching him performing these videos, I gotta say that he's hands down the Best drummer in the known world. Talented, hard working and extremely fun to watch.

This bloke is 100% the best drummer on the planet hands down.

EES is an absolute legend. You are the only person doing a reaction video where you caught his extra stick usage. And he is a the Jordan of drums. EES is the GOAT

This cover by siberano deserves a RU-vid Platinum Medal award. 300 +BPM foot pedal base drum work, 3 drumstick use at one time, a nice variety of drumstick use.... what a great piece of work.

Everything he does is effortles.. He is the BEST

For being self taught he’s seriously one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen!

Wow... he's using third stick to alternate the hats from up and down with one hand. And he hits a snare rim and the second stick itself for this short complex rim shot. Is this normal drumer's arsenal? because I saw that for the first time. Anyway the precision and speed is unhuman.😵‍💫

As a drummer my former favorite was Danny Carey or buddy rich. But this guy is by far the best. Reinventing drums and making it popular and accessible. The GOAT

It's a beautiful future for drums and in turn ....music ! The drums lead the evolution of music ...always!! Bravo EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO !!!

Blows my mind! Always! He's unequivocally and unmatched the best at the craft of drumming! But in all fairness, he's a "singular" crafted drummer who plays what some will call "impossible", or "magical" but always so unbelievably ** Entertaining !!!**. He doesn't prefer to perform with other musicians by choice. He doesn't prefer or want to ever play with a band... a "team". So again, on record, one of my favorite unmatched in tone, preciseness and clean technical (almost "surgical") drumming... but he's not a musician and that's not a slam. He wants to only be the best technical drummer and the best at this one craft that makes HIM HAPPIEST!!! With all the followers and sponsors, he's self-healed his past and self-promoted his career to bring his expertise to other drummers with style, flare, grit, admired confidence and yes, he makes everyone (drummer or not) both HAPPY and educated that it is possible to become the greatest of all time if that's what you want to do ... for yourself! Cheers to you El Estepario Siberiano! I love all that you do and respect all that you stand for!! Keep entertaining! (Next Up: Borrow Tommy Lee's upside kit and show us some of your craziest side with gravity **not on your side **!! ❤🍻🎶😎🥁

Siberiano makes everything sound good with double bass on songs you wouldn't imagine it on.

he makes songs even better than their original ... inventing greater versions of them

He´s so espectacular...He´s reinventing the way of playing drums..and he´s Spanish...yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's almost like watching a living breathing piece of art - he's like the Michelangelo of drumming. He's close to perfection. Utterly compelling viewing.

It's like he makes it sound better. This guy is awesome. Michael Jordan has nothing on this guy he's angelic level.

Peart is my favorite, and then he is next for me. He is pushing closer and closer to Peart everyday

that slick palm hit is just so amazing

Cada día nos sorprende con algo nuevo. Just amazing.

Have you ever seen someone who is born to do something? Well now you have, this guy is a amazing to the tenth degree!

I'm not even into drumming but this is the 8th time I've watched this video he's unreal

Been watching quite a few vids from Estepario the last couple of days. This is my favourite, and I don't even like that song. Not per se the hardest stuff he's done, but it's so complete and innovative. The amount of variation he can get out of a fairly basic setup. It's staggering.

It is impossible to admire a drummer after seeing this drummer's performance because he has exceeded the level of professionalism and reached the level of a phenomenon.

This dude is the best straight up the drums are part of him he is exceptional in he has become one with the drums bro and practice and drive make him the best I have a friend who has the ability to play like him he has to devote himself like he has amazing

The precision. He hits the snare on the same spot every freaking time. And he needs to, as his other hand would be hit otherwise. This was jaw dropping.

Carter Beauford and Dennis Chambers were early heroes of mine. I gotta hand it to this guy tho, man. There’s just nobody like him. He’s definitely raised the bar in every facet of being a drummer. I’m far removed from playing, but he truly inspires me to get back into it.

Every video he does jusraises the bar. His ability is beyond exceptional. Simply the best ever.

He is the most insane drummer ive seen ever

He’s completely relaxed as well. It’s not hard for him. He has a great understanding of technique

I just got my first drumkit to start learning at 37 years old thanks to El Estepario. Not only is he a generational talent, but the man is just so passionate and all around an awesome human being. Can't wait to learn that bounce stickflip thing from a tom or snare in about 30 years or so 😂 Thank you for an awesome reaction!

I’m 71 and he’s the best I’ve ever seen

This performance has been my favorite I love The Weeknd and for him to do a drum solo for it I love it even moreZ this dude is addicting to watch. Never seen anything like it. And your comment reinventing. Drumming I couldn’t stop laughing. I love your reviews you don’t stop and critique you critique very little and always in high praise . Thank you

What I love about his content is he always looks like he's having the best time just doing what he loves to do.

My favorite drummer so far. Indeed, smooth with great showmanship. Greetings from South America.

The way he adds his own style, to me it creates an entire new "original" version of each song.

I know it's not fake, but it's hard to believe this level. This guy took drumming to an unknown dimension.

Hes worked his ass off. He deserves all the accolades. I hope he goes far. Started out with only a single pedal, now hes got a trip. Just awesome!

He's absolutely amazing. Far and away one of the best in the world. I really enjoy his creative take on the tracks he chooses to cover. I'd really like to see him play a set for a band that usually runs synths & programs because I am sure the energy and force in a live environment would be really awesome.

He keeps everything so damn TIGHT! Not even an ounce of sloppy

It's always a joy to watch a master ply his craft, and Estepario is indeed a master (at least from my most humble non-drummer point of view😂). He's amazing at what he does, and i'm happy that he's starting to get the attention he deserves for all of his hard work.

I've watched many of his (and yours) videos and his drumming here looks just about the most complicated and difficult of all - and he makes it look easy - WTH??

A huge plessure to just watch this pro drum ........ more than that !

The strangest thing that no one talks about is his big physical form, that has a lot to say when it comes to endurance and impact when it comes to drumming.

Hes so fucking good. like i dont ever get bored from his genius... His unmatched skill... I want Danny Carey reaction

I catch myself interested in music again.everything this guy plays is gold............what's better than gold?well whatever it is this guys it

I'm not gonna lie. I've watched this vid more than 50 times. I love this version. And it took me until five minutes ago to realize it looks like he does 90% of the song with his eyes closed.

guys i think were all a witness to prob the best drummer ever found i have been a drummer not a pro but for fun for 35 years now and this guy does things i honestly did know was possible 30 years from now we can all look back and be man i rember when he started

💯 respect 4 my brother El ty he is the top drummer if not name another. Thank u col respect 4 u 2 peace and love bro.

Hands down the best drummer in the history of drumming!

I’m sure he’s doing it with his eyes closed as well guys a genius

I SWEAR only someone that is informally trained innovates like this! I'm not shocked that he does not know how to read music! FREAKING AMAZING! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I never saw a better Drummer like him :D

101 out of 100 Beyond Imagination A single Drummer in whole universe.

El Estepario Siberiano and 66Samus are my favourite drummers, both offer so much to the collective drumming enthusiasts of RU-vid, and, indeed, the world. 66Samus is incredible and technically gifted (worked his butt off) and ESS is like the Art work in an exhibition that noone quite fully understands but are blown away by being exposed to.

The lungs on this guy. I enjoy seeing disbelief on your face. I thought Sugarfoot Moffett was my favorite until I heard Estepario.

This guy is ALL of my favorites drummers at once : Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Allan White, Mike portnoy, Mike Mangini, Buddy Rich and many more.

This guy is nothing short of pure amazement

It took me some time to realize how he dropped the second drum stick from his right hand... To smooth 😂😂😂😂

For the few people who haven't watched the original. The reactor is covering the foot peddle cam, so you're missing a bit of the performance

My fav drummer will always be Joey Jordison and Travis Barker because they were the two drummers to grab my attention as a teen, but like you said you can't denied that right now El Estepario Siberiano's skill is way up there and is reinventing drumming.

0:26 that is THE sickest groove I’ve ever heard ever. I don’t even fuck with the weekend like that but have listened to this cover multiple times. That groove is just tooooooo dangerous

gravity blasts on floor tom and snare too, plus difficult rim shot. the precision is unbelievable. i mean he had to practice for hours. he even said so. he does a lot of takes. everything he adds fits the songs.

Every drummer knows what he's doing. He's the best I've ever ever seen
