I’m 72 yrs old. Have been drumming since 1964. I only have a smile of satisfaction on my face when I watch and hear Buddy Rich , Dave Weckl and Mr. Siberiano. Pure genius and dedication

Man is doing the work of 2 drummers alone For those who don't know - This is actually played by 2 drummers. Respect!

Dane here. When i grew up, Safri Duo was inescapable on any danish radio station. This was a really nice cover. Don't think i have heard this song for at least 15-20 years. What a throwback.

3:25 This Dude... is a BEAST!!! KUDOS MAN!!! 🤯👍🏼

One drummer covering a two drummer song. Absolutely insane.

I don't think people appreciate enough the fact that all his videos are one-takes - almost five minutes of pure equilibrism without missing a single beat. Bravo!!!!

As a long time bongo player first time I saw drum sticks used on bongos was when Safari used them but this guy is way ahead of them -incredible and hard to believe what you are watching 👍😊

3 drummers in one body. This guy comes drom another planet

3:10 the next 30 seconds is one of if not the greatest piece of technical skill and rhythm I’ve ever seen. Utterly bonkers

Absolute monster drummer. I don't know if it is possible to objectively call someone THE best drummer ever, but it's safe to say you are among them on the summit. Respect.

Doesn't matter how many times I watch these videos, I'm always say, “Oh, my God,” every single time. I absolutely love his content and talent.

I can’t get my Head around how good this man is. Never seen anyone this level. I’ve listened to this and blinding lights 100 times in the past month 🤩

I'm speechless at the talent on display here....Dude, you are making millions of people smile from ear to ear! The absolute joy of music bruh!!!!

Bruh, what the heck was this?! Absolute goosebumps man. This is the OG El Estepario stuff, no excessive showmanship or blurring of the original soul of the song you're covering. Just pure talent.

I'm 50 years old, and have been playing drums since I was 3 this guy is amazing!!! Michael...

Bro got me tearing up..🥹that was brilliant and giving me happy flashbacks. Of late nites on the dance floor to theses anthems...🫶👏👏keep the beat going.

The craziest part is not only did this feel like it's still not at the pique of taxing his ability, but he's always getting better too, unbelievable.

Can't even imagine how many hours you've spent developing those skills. You have the limb independence of a freakin' octopus - each limb has it's own brain 😂

3:16 the way you get back into the beat is probably the craziest piece of drumming I've ever heard! Absolutely insane keep up the hard work!

By far without a shadow of a doubt one of the most impressive displays ive ever seen

I am in awe. This is like playing Zeppelin on the left and Rush on the right. No hyperbole necessary, this guy is the best drummer alive today, maybe the best ever.

Omfg! The stamina, the coordination, the GROOVE and the amount of brain capacity to pull this of is nothing less then legendary. Massive respect!

This old Trance classics will never be forgotten! The greatest job ever! Welldone!

I've watched this 100s of times, wish there was a camera on the feet tho. This machine is a wizard on the sticks 🥁

I played drums for over 40 years and 54 years of age, you gotta be the best that I've ever picked up sticks. God bless you, you could see the work that you put in when you were young, how you could fly outrageous. Not only did he play a 2 drummer song one drum, but he pleaded 2 drummer song crazy yet so controlle excellent job please continue this ear candy. Continue. The great work awesome, probably the best drummer that ever lived. F .Boe

This is the first video my 5 month old has ever seen in her life and she was sooo intensely watching and captivated. A future drummer...

"THE GROOVE FATHER" Wizard of the Drums. 🤘

Уровень - БОГ.

OMG, I just watched the original band with 2 (two!) drummers and this version is amazing. Nothing is impossible to El Estepário Siberiano!!! Respect.

I'm 40yo man currently in Ibiza on my first holidays for years, having a coffee looking, at the sea, and this cover literally made me cry. The tune, place and timing couldn't have been better! I got shivers going through my body! Thank you! 🚀

One of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a drum set. Period.

WOW!!! Castles in the Sky played on the drums!!!. Excellent job, brother.

As a guitarist, I've always been impressed by drummers. Being on rythm is one thing. But adding to that the groove, the feel and the soul is magical. El Estepario is one very good exemple of that. His face tells you how much practice he puts into drumming. Look how his look changes in between parts. That's more practice than we can even think of and most of us can't and will never be able to even afford. He feels the thing like nobody's business. The music is flowing thru his SOUL!!!! Transfered to MINE!!!

Love watching his face. When you see the small moments where "I need to concentrate." then you'll see a "Got that." look. Hehe. Then the small smiles when he's through a tough part or just having a ball. A joy to watch.

Im just in awe...how wonderful you are down to earth and encourage people to play music..sincerely Karolyn Melbourne Australia

I cant stop watching this, this is great!!! Michael...

Listen to this with headphones on & eyes closed. Then remember that this is one person drumming! Insane!

What's scary is that he is getting better. The best drummer in music history.

This is the greatest song ever created by one man on percussion!!! Michael...

Damn. I finally figured out how you are so good……. You actually have 2 drummers living in one body. Fantastic job, Man.

Noone will ever convince me that this guy is a normal human. It's just not possible xD Insane performance

Bro that smile you start to crack in the beginning as you settle in for that wild ride you took us on was infectious! Absolutely insane what you just did there. Still smiling after it's over. 🤘

Insane two drummer song and he killed it his stick speed and accuracy is well insane

How is it just one guy can make this so much better than the original which was two guys... what a beast. The groove father indeed! Mad props.

Holy crap that was AWESOME. It’s not just your speed it’s your accuracy on the bongo’s for different sounds. I was watching your hands, you change grips absolutely seamlessly. Just incredible.

Mega dwóch to grało a jednak sam to zrobił moj szacunek. Lubie ten kawałek i dzieki takim ludziom on nadal żyję.😊

Thankyou God with your grace I found this beautiful drummer

GOD DAM MAN, you really put your heart and soul into this one. I own drums, can't play them, own bongos, can play them, didn't even know it was safe to hit bongos with drum sticks ... now I'm over here in the living room with a set of very LIGHT drum sticks, banging away on the bongos and they sound pretty good.

There are no words. Just thank you so much. Redefining what's possible on a drum kit. Respect.

This marks the first time I have ever listened to a drummer through a whole song.....damn!

i keep coming back to this video ! Amazing !

This guy is a magician. The grip changes is insane...

How hasn't this guy been picked up by an elite world class group yet? The guy is quite literally replicating the sound of 2 drummers

The best drum performance I have ever seen. Thank you sir. You will be forever marked at the top of the drum legend list..............

Mind blowing performance! He has got to be the best drummer in the world

Smooth, precise, grooving, outstanding. You are out of this world SiR

I Saw the Safri Duo years ago in the Netherlands at a rave called Mysteryland. Then performed by the original performes.. that was pretty nice.. But this? Holy crap!! YOU NAILED IT!

He's the Paganini of drums. At some point nobody will be able to play like him

Ahora sí que te la has sacado bien. Una de mis canciones favoritas. Gracias por tu esfuerzo y dedicación 👍👏👏

I’m no drummer or musician at all but this guy is just awesome in every video. Hats off dude

Mind blown... again. You will go down in history. I genuinely mean this. One of the best if not the best ever percussionist! A fkin pleasure to watch. I buzz of watching you perform. Thank you 🙏

best performance I've seen in a while

My all time favorite song, and performance!!! Michael...

omg, this is far the best moment in my life i see Estepario make 2 drummers work in a solo version...daaaaaang.. RESPECT " HE DID IT AGAIN " JODER, Eres un tio cojonudo Estepario.

You, my friend, are redefining what it means to be a drummer! Absolutely incredible as always. You continue to improve and blow us away. Please don't stop!

A masterpiece!!! Michael...

What you can do is absolutely mind blowing!! You’re an inspiration of what hard work, practice and dedication can get you. Truly next level musicianship, I play a little bit and you inspire me to try harder.

this was the most insane drumming i have ever seen. and i have seen a lot drummers on video and on stage.

Safri Duo madre mía. Recuerdo desbloqueado. Tremendo cover de dos percusionistas interpretado por uno solo.

He’s just brilliant pure and cymbal!

1:23 blows my mind, it’s perfect

Brutal, não tenho mais palavras!!! Um grande abraço de Portugal.

Thanks to you, I am losing my will to sit in front of my drum set day by day... This is just too much!

DRUMMING PERFECTION!!! MICHAEL...

Wow man, what a different dynamic the bongos add in. That sound is outstanding

World best drummer. I enjoy every performance. When he hangs up his drumsticks, we will never see another like him. Keep on rocking Sir Groovefather!

This is by far one of my favorites, not speed for speed sake but had the feels and shifts to perk the ears up. Bravo.

More! Omg ESS completely improved the song. We all need more of this! Absolutely amazing.

Jorge, I’m glad you exist and here’s my small bump to your algorithms! I’ll copy to a bunch of your videos! My reasons? 1. I’m not a drummer and haven’t listened to much music for years (I’m into books right now). I’ve never enjoyed watching drummers do their thing outside of a song. Despite that, you have grabbed my attention and I’ve dipped into music styles I don’t even enjoy and discovered artists that are great! Your mesmerizing drumming and the pure entertainment raised them to something worth watching again and again! Wow! I’ve listened to more music in the past couple months than in the last decade! Thank you! 2. You are funny, authentic, intelligent, incredibly disciplined and skilled. (You are also some real eye candy, but that wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t for your inner qualities!) What impresses me is that you want to pass on your life lessons, knowledge and skills to others and inspire them on their own journey. That’s big! Huge!!! We need more people in the world like that! 3. As a side note, in your Million Views video you mentioned that something in your character drives you to do correctly whatever you’re doing. That can be a blessing or a curse, but when I listened to your Mike Portnoy video and your story about your girl related reasons for learning his song, I just started laughing. Your drive to do things ‘correctly’ could be a blessing for your partners! 4. Thank you for enriching my life and I wish you fulfillment, success and happiness as you ‘lay pipe’ in your own life’s journey! Life is short, go for it! Nancy from the States!

I can’t stop viewing and listening to this cover. What a truly remarkable job. He is so versatile and hard working. El really made it so close to perfection in what he does. World class!

There are no words, just read through the comments and see how much joy you bring to everyone. I can't stop watching.

One man plays the drums played by two guys by himself and this even sounds BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL I love the internet

My brother is a drummer. Our mother could only afford drumsticks and my brother had been banging to the beat of the washing machine and the swather. ANYHOO ... you're playing brings me to tears of joy and amazement. CARRY ON 🥁

Hands down... just awesome best drummer ever....

Me encanta estos videos porque refuerzan lo que siempre digo: Somos capaces de superarnos constantemente hasta romper nuestros propios límites. Gracias.

By far your greatest song of all time sir!!! Michael...

Honestly going through a rough patch but watching this is making me uncontrollably smile so thank you EES ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You took drumming to another level and doing so I bet the next generation of drummers will be better thanks to people like you. Legend!

You're hypnotic! Fabulous!

I Can Listen To The Bongo Song For HOURS, OVER AND OVER ! Love It! ❤🥁🤍🥁💙🥁

Disfruten del espectáculo!!!

He always gives me Groovebumps

Your timig and sound control was very precise. Nice.

speechless, in awe of your craft. bravo.

Como fan incondicional de Safri Duo desde mis 10 años de edad, y teniendo 33 como tengo, me emociona que aún hoy en día haya artistas como tú que les rinden éstos homenajes con una canción tan mítica como el Played-A-Live. Magnífico!!! Gracias de corazón, ojalá les llegue a Uffe Savery y Morten Friis y les haga sentirse orgullosos de lo que crearon

Never loose the snare's back beat. Awesome!

It's amazing how the drums can keep up with this phenom. Outstanding!

I play this instrumental song when i was young long time ago, and now, this song has reborn with younger spirit, thanks to bring back my memories, cheersss!

Bruh this is by far the most amazing drummer I have ever seen in my entire life your completely amazing you're on a quantum level.
