LIVIN' ON A PRAYER - BON JOVI | DRUM COVER. 

What I appreciate immensely about this drummer is that you just know that his overplaying for his other covers is because of preference and not a lack of understanding of what the song needs. In this, he proves that he can lock down a groove and maintain a song's tastefulness when needed. Amazing cover as always. You never disappoint, my man. 👌

"So excuse me if I didn't play everything right." You gave the song everything it needed so thank you for this masterpiece!!!

He can make MUSIC. I am 50 now, and I am drumming from sinds I was 6 years old. I have seen so many drummers... Buddy, Vinnie,... and the rest of all the big guys. And these men are all really fantastic. But this guy... He does something with my inspiration, motivation, and concentration. El Estepario Siberiano man, you make me work harder. And as a drummer, I luv you bro. I hope, you will post many more videos for us all. Thanks.

Dude!!! You're an inspiration. After 20 years, I'm going to start playing again. Shout-out to 66Samus for bringing me to your channel.

I think it’s cool that the channel isn’t always about going fast as possible. Just appreciating drumming

Never apologize for anything! Your work ethic and level of effort is obvious. Any naysayers can be safely ignored. Thank you for the awesome work and the positive message!

I've cruised down Bon Jovi's home turf's New Jersey highways in the summer heat blasting this song, screaming it at the top of my lungs and I think Bon Jovi would be hella proud to see this cover. It's not about perfection & clean drumming...it's about the passion behind it. Congratulations to you and keep going!

No se si me impresiona más la pedazo de versión que se ha marcado, o la heroicidad de tocar en verano en Valencia con sudadera.

Gotta be one of my favorite drummers in the world right now

Relaxing to see the man slow down for once and just play a slow song clean af and smooooth

It never ceases to amaze me that even at the level El Estepario is at and other musicians, just people, they still are not satisfied completely with what they're doing and I think that's part of what makes these guys so good is that they never max out and say oh that's it I got it, its always improving, always insecure. Its not always a bad thing.

Anyone else just realizing how good this song would sound acoustically? And El You rock more now than I even thought before. Thank you for inspiring all of us and always keeping it real. 🤘

After about 50 times watching this Estepario’s ENERGY & PASSION is as equally amazing & from a musician- TREMENDOUS Talent, Good & Genuinely a GOOD MAN w/his heart out there!

Hello Mr El Estapario, I'm a guitar player on the road back in the 70's, but I think you are great! Jesus loves us man! Keep playing so awesomely!!! David west

Sometimes it's nice to hear and see someone play a Rock track that's clean and simple but with a lot of energy. Reminds us of the pure joy of just beating the skins with a good rhythm period and to a great song I might add. You crushed it and those lightning fast Twirls are amazing

Watching you play the drums feels like playing drums is the easist thing in our universe. With huge respect and love, keep it on man!

Man, your words are so important to ALL musicians! Thank you for being YOU & doing what you love because that’s what it’s all about!

Muchas personas destacan la guitarra y las voces en esta canción (y es por una muy buena razón, de acuerdo), pero siempre he pensado que esta canción tiene unas lineas de bajo impresionantes y al escuchar la versión sin bateria, se nota mucho más! Gracias Estepario!

This was the first song I played in front of people... Thank for this masterpiece Estepario!!

You NEVER disappoint! I love how there's nothing crazy in here that you are doing (except for the stick twirls) - just bad ass back beat that does NOT stop!!! Can't get enough of your vids - not just for the drumming, but for everything you put into them. Thanks man and keep up all the great work you are doing!

What a legend. Amazing drumming as always !

Your tuning is always on point. You have one of the best sounding snare drums in the business. Fabulous playing . A technical masterpiece.

Got to play this track on live TV once. Big10 Basketball game, I was the freshmen drummer on the pepband for Purdue. I had cut my finger in half in an accident the day before the game, and managed to rimshot with that finger going right into the chorus. Lost that stick, blood all over the kit as i Split the stitches; finished 1 handed. Director was pissed! best memory of this song and my time playing drums in the big10!

Never say again "please excuse me".... your work is always mindblowin ! And even if it would be sad for us, if you have to take years to feel good in life as you always seems to be when playind drums..... do what you got to do bro, you are so good we almost dont deserve you 😄💪 Thank you for what you are

To me it’s your best work thus far. Pure, simple, quality drumming. Definitely did this classic justice

I play this track more often than I’d like to admit, screaming along in the car or shower like a cat in heat. It never gets old, but we do. So moments that feed us and keep us lit are vital life force. So glad you got fed.

I'm glad you're finding your success. You're a genuinely likeable guy, hardworking, authentic, and deserve every bit of it. Cheers.

Man we need a lot more people like you in world. Thank you so much.

Thank you… you speak from the heart.

Cara Sempre passamos por momentos onde duvidamos de nossa capacidade. Vc é um fantástico batera, acredite em suas qualidades que são muitas. Vc está entre os melhores do mundo.

I love your spin tricks - it really seems you have all the time to hit whenever you want

Best version I've ever heard , due to being completely captivated by the superb drumming. Bravo mistro 🔥

I respect you saying you didn’t play it exactly right. I uploaded a cover of this song and got hate for “rediculous Lu changing how the song was written”. No shame in changing it, that’s why it’s called a drum COVER! You’re awesome dude keep it up

Fav drummer I just notice these legend drummer these months ❤❤

The power,,the presicion,,the simplicity,,the passion..just WOW..

WOW!!! PHENOMENAL!!!! You are the best drummer ive ever heard!! Love your style of play, you kill every song you play and it truly is a pleasure to hear you play brother. From Canada much love and respect!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks for the video. I hope you're well. This song takes me back when life was simpler than the shit of today. Living each day as it comes and living through it. Keep up the great work, you're an inspiration 🥁

Dude you rock! I feel the same way about this song and I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for motivating me and making my day awesome. And thank you Jon Bon Jovi for the drumless track, you're a truly awesome musician and an iconic rock legend as well as a great guy. I sincerely hope that I do have the pleasure of meeting you one day.

Bro! You are amazing and you have achieved a lot, everyone knows who you are now and it's because of the joy you bring to us when we are watching you hit those drums.

Tico Torres was the reason i got into drums. Watch keep the faith an evening with bon Jovi mtv. You see him in almost every frame. Having the time of his life playing witj so much rythem and soul!

It’s a special place in my ♥️ as well. NEVER stop drumming my friend.

Amazing to watch a truly great drummer at work. You are an inspiration to all drummers, no matter what style they play.Thanks man!

You just proved that you’re not just a machine but a human being. And that's what I love in a musician! You are not a circus freak but a person who has studied so much to achieve the current level and who can be a guide for many who lose faith in their instrument! Keep it up!!! ❤

This is the most perfect RU-vid drum cover I've ever seen. Just dead spot on. Sounds great.

Greetings from John Hirtle, Lexington, Massachusetts. My father was born in Middle Lahave in 1925. I am so proud of the Hirtles who built and manned some of the strongest, most beautiful sailing vessels ever launched. 🇨🇦

Meu amigo, que feeling absurdo! E o mais impressionante é o setting da bateria. Sensacional, Estepario!

Been retired from playing for 10 years after playing for 35,but this guy really makes me miss playing.

WOW!!! Just wow! I watch drummers all the time, you are truly the BEST I have ever come across!!! Amazing!

My new fave You Tube Addiction El Estapario playing my young girl obsession....I LOVE IT...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ...AND YOUR MESSAGE MEANS EVERYTHING!!!!!!

love the stick twirls, not only an incredible drummer but has some showmanship as well...awesome..

I remember watching Tommy Lee on Headbangers Ball back in 92-93! He was the first person I saw to throw his stick in the air, catch and play on. I thought he was a wizard… my son now plays drums and he watches your videos! Thank you!

"Right"?! Seriously, now, brother--don't be so hard on yourself. It's the curious nature of music, that while it's easy to play (on any instrument) something that's "wrong" for the song, there's also no single "right". And that's what I respect most about your playing: Whether it's one of your busy but tasty chop-fests or simply locking into the groove and concentrating on the back beat, you manage to make every single note you play in every single song sound "right". You're an inspiration to drummers around the world, and we all thank you for doing your part to make this whole COVID nightmare a little more bearable, one RU-vid video at a time. Keep on being you, amigo mío.

God, may we appreciate your powers to create such beautiful talented people. They make the world much colourful and without such people the heart would never appreciated the love for music as the way we do now. you and the other talented people are the magic wonders of god. All the praise for your dedication of you and rehearsing, putting sweat, tears, and blood into your music, its magic to my ears and heart. God bless you!

Every cover I get more impressed !!! Muy bueno Estepario, eres una inspiración para mi !!! Abraços do Brasil !

Such a solid drum cover. You've gotten much better at not overplaying the songs. Congratulations on achieving your goals, and best of luck to you on your new journey.

I love this guy , he seems so nice and kind

You did an absolute killer job on this one!!!Sounds amazing and your drumming is awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

You're an awesome musician. Every video I've seen, you knock it out of the park.

Still my favorite after all this time. This is when I subscribed to the channel because of this video. And I Love the stick work

Fenomeno!!!!!! Bravissimo from Italy…..👏🏻

Sound and giving everything what's best for the song was completely killer. The stick tricks are so funny! Second to none

Clean, precise, only what's necessary. Beautiful dude.

i missed this one. mr bon jovi grew up near me. my brother knew him. they didn't get along. i once lifted weights in the gym with him for an hour. he gave me stank face for a while, then called me by my brother's name. i showed him my license, and we laughed at what a jerk my brother is. then that's the end of the story. that was like mid 2000s so that's that. great drumming cover though. LFG LOVE IT! EL STEPARIO IS WAY MORE THAN HALF WAY THERE LFG!

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!! Attitude determines your altitude and your attitude is awesome.

Not for the views but for the message! Love it bro. Hope you are killing it and living your dream. You inspire us all with your talent.

played drums for 6 years, love how you piece it so fluid, locks in on a grove and it works great

I love the cymbal work on this.

I like the way the drums are tuned in these videos

Loved that you knew simplicity is still something that works with a song but yet you still put in your rendition of the rhythm into it and made it fit into the song. Beautiful. 👏👏❤

Wow what a message to give so many people who are struggling out in this world a huge boost!!!! Great Job !!!!

Love the feel of what you have done here. It's alive!

I practice with this song a lot. It covers a lot of good basic fundamentals.

When I see you perform I ask God bless you. You make magic with your drums. You the drum Lord!!!

It’s good to see El Estepario taking it a little easy this time. 😄 Great cover because you didn’t add a whole lot of fluff to it which you can easily do.

I personally thought it was fire 🔥🔥🔥 thank you for all the inspiring videos, 🙏 you are seriously helping me cope almost daily.

Pedazo cóver estepario. Ni siquiera tocó la batería, soy de guitarra, pero cada vez que sacas contenido me encanta. Molaría muchísimo una cóver de mötley Crüe.

You, sir, are one of the few internet people I'd love to meet. Thank you for bringing something special to our lives! Viva Phil Collins, Viva Phil Collins! Hostia!

you play great thanks and you make them drums come alive

Love watching you play. Not just the nose you make, but visually it’s very enjoyable. Like drum dancing.

I have no words to describe the feeling of watching this. Amazing, just amazing.

Wow, that's really great, Mr. Siberiano, you can immediately get the backing track without the drums too, what's more, Mr. Siberiano's drumming is really cool.

Bro!!!!!..... you restrained yourself when we know you can technically JAM this song but you didn't, instead you played this anthem song true to form!!!!!! Simple is beautiful too. My respects to you...

You can't play anything wrong! you are the Man!!!

Dude. This song and your message at the end is exactly what’s going on in my brain. I’ve been struggling all my life to make my dream come true in the film industry and entertainment world. And I’m so close. Thank you for be a fucking inspiration to keep going.

I really enjoy your videos and this one in particular. Keep on rocking and THANK YOU! 🤘

always great EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO !! incredible and unique technique!

El, you're amazing, a very unique individual, and simply the best

this just increased my mood by 1000 percent

There are many things I like the best about watching you drum....love the message. Lip sinking the music shows you are really feeling it. The way you look into the camera. The shear POWER w your arms & wrists....& Most of all, you don't throw your body around like they're having a seizure attack like most drummers do. Oh & your speech. Soooo sexy. The song seems So Weak w/o you

Hey man, I love your flashy drumming in the other videos. But hearing you lock into a simple groove like this because it MEANS something to you........still hard AF. Whatever success/fulfillment you reach, it's less than half of what you deserve. Not because you're talented (bc talent is bullsh*t 😉), but because you put in the WORK! Cheers man!

I'm just sitting here and smiling. Just marveling over the mechanics put into these couple min. A rocket scientist would have hard time following. BEAST MODE!!

One of your best performances

So weird watching you keep it basic....basic yet STILL CLEAN & TECHNICAL 🔥

I love that snare sound!

WHAT A FOOKIN LEGEND the best drummer period

GREAT, so powerful drummin´ i love it THX to you

That’s what you call lose yourself in music! Good job man!!! 😍

This drummer is the most talented ever to play. The Bon Jovi choice???? C'MON MAN

Know it's a year old already but DAAAMN!! frickin great job man !! Always one of my faves 👍

what a drumming feeling, the rest of song following the drums. Great and amazing :)
