Can you do one comparing both covers he did. I think comparing his original cover 2 years ago is a testament to practice 😊

[@Necro_AAAARon]

Agreed this one is the first one I would want to listen to for a 3 minute song. I respect his mechanics and technical prowess but at the end of the day, I want to hear good music with a few impressive fills.

Andrew, how would you compare him to the machine gun Chris Turner? I think He has more fun than Chris! But Chris is an absolute machine. Idk how I would rank them

El Estepario then goes on to pat his head and rub his belly while playing his version of Tom Sawyer while holding his own beer....

Is this real or AI?

[@moshemedalie7690]

Dude, check out Rosetta Stoned by Tool middle of the song. Drummer is Danny Carey. There’s one cover on KZbin and a full analysis by Drumeo on breaking down Tool Tracks. That is one of the most difficult pieces to play by any drummer. Best of the best. Stefano wouldn’t be able to play a cover of it.

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

@@xRuralJuroRx, rub your belly & pat your head, too complicated but I can pull it off. Swimming however is difficult for me doing the kicking while doing arm strokes. I can't fathom how that brain of his even keeps track of all four of his instruments, each one playing the same song but independent of the others.

[@damionbeanstormchasing9892]

He reminds me of a improv jazz drummer that metals up everything he does while maintaining enough of the pocket to keep it original, but with his own stamp. Dudes a beast

6:57 that sigh is the perfect way to describe what we've been seeing and hearing. Even if you're not a drummer, you become exhausted only by watching this. That was impossibly fast and flawlessly executed. Damn!

[@voxlugosi4957]

Andrew, you nailed this video, your comments, your pauses, your silence, your opinions..... I feel you. El Estepario is to drumming what Einstein is to Science.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Okay, I've been watching El Estepario for long time now and I think it's safe to say at this point. Yes, there are drummer icons, Peart, Portnoy, Bonham, Palmer, Buddy Rich, Moon, BUT...El Estepario is the Eddie Van Halen of drums. Eddie was not only amazing as we all know, he was so innovative that he changed guitar playing forever. I believe that El Estepario is doing and introducing drumming techniques that are so innovative and amazing that he will be seen in that vein of the great drummers of our time.

[@gstockwell5315]

This man plays for the sheer joy of playing! He plays for himself and that is why he is so extraordinary! Just love watching his beautiful talent. Great respect 🙏

[@blaked2893]

He inspired me to pick up the sticks again and use them as fire wood.. I’m kidding, I’m 36 and been playing since I was 13 and stopped for a few years and after hearing this man play it ignited the flame. I also started teaching drums to my kids and a few others. I forgot how much I enjoy this instrument.

[@mimmkey]

I'm 35... But same:) PREACH!!

[@rafasimsim]

There are no words to express what this guy is doing. He's beyond everything. Grande, Estepario!! ❤

[@charlescollier7217]

I think the aspect that you were trying to express with the term "tasty" is what we in Trinidad and Tobago call "sweetness" when playing steel drums. It's about the way the music and/or performance makes us feel, rather than measurable things like technical proficiency or speed. And , frankly, I think it is what makes a piece of music or a performance great to listen to over and over again, or to sing along with, or dance to.

[@errrzarrr]

Hello, from Dominican Republic. As a fellow Caribbean, yes tasty and sweetness is what matters the most for us. That's what they miss in so many other places.

[@phimuskapsi]

Thing I love about El Estepario is he puts all these extra hits in but stays perfectly on time with the song, he finds these little cracks and crevices all over to just add more musicality to the drums. Also, his double bass technique is both flawless and amazing to watch, he's so amazingly consistent.

[@YourSweatyUncle]

this dude is why the term "less is more" was invented

[@TheHomieFedSmoker]

He’s literally putting a clinic on with every. Single. Video. Just showing all these different techniques and styles in his own way and it just works. To add to it all, he’s also a super cool and down to earth guy (at least from the videos he’s posted.

[@phimuskapsi]

@@YourSweatyUncle He's not playing in a band right now, this is a drum "demo", he should be playing the hell out of it.

Muhammad Ali of drumming! He can find any opening and exploit it like no other.

[@phimuskapsi]

@@YourSweatyUncleHe's drumming for the joy of it all, and interpreting songs however he wants - he can play more traditionally, there is plenty of evidence of this, but sometimes he just likes to show what is possible.

[@miskee11]

At first I was nodding my head and thinking "damn, this sounds great". Then I suddenly stopped, as an expression of utter disbelief and amazement developed on my face, and I thought "damn, this is impossible".

[@frederickjeremy]

Ive watched him play this probably 100 times. It is one of my absolute favorite. I can no longer hear the original song with out him shouting in the background in my head. But all the times ive watched him play this, it was the 101st on your channel that i noticed in his epic breakdown, at his busiest moment in the whole song, his right hand was dedicated to twirling a drumstick. There is literally so much other stuff going on its hard to see tho it is in plain sight. But yes he does tricks in this one. I hope to be someday half as competent at anything as this man is to drumming.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah he's a great role model!

[@gregoryburne5251]

I love his humility. Yes he’s off the charts talented and confident, but he’s no arsehole.

[@rodrigomichelettoaffonso5193]

I follow Estepario since the begenning, and the incredible thing from his vídeos is his joy that causes instantly happiness for drumming community with all those drum feels. God bless you Andrew cause your speech drives to this too. See Ya!!!

[@Tim091]

When I first watched this on his channel my first thought was Andrew has to see this!! I then sent the link to all my friends saying "his best yet". The reason I thought it his best was because it worked so well with the song rather than playing all over it (as he can do). So cool to find you think exactly the same!

[@frontsidegrinder6858]

This is it, you nailed it.

[@jenskruger975]

That's just incredible. It's really art and passion and fun on the instrument. I think he gets everything out of a drum kit, which is actually not possible. I don't think it's overdone either but he interprets this beautiful song in an incredibly great way. I wish him to always keep his fun in playing.

[@davidleever4564]

This actually brought tears to my eyes. I drummed from age 10 to around 17, makes me feel like a kid again when I was amazed and inspired by the likes of Neil Peart and Ginger Baker.

He's got dual doubling pedals (never seen one IRL, don't know how the switching works). And I understand he built (?) a triple. 😄 I did just see a vid of him going for max speed (he's fighting the return spring) and lets just say... he goes all the way to plaid! 😯

[@gohamm8629]

It's the second time he's done this song, and some how its even better. The new tone with his latest kit is just *chef's smooch*. Pure excellence. I would put him as the GOAT in my mind!

[@Damo_Drummer]

Theres a fair bit of sampling going on with that drum tone, and its anything but natural. More than likely he has used the mics to capture the transients, which have then been sound replaced/augmented.

[@marksieczko7766]

He's FORCED every major rock band drummer ALL OVER THE WORLD to "Step up their Game", because this dude is CRAZY GOOD! I don't know if he's on the market and looking for a band, but MAN! If he was, his price would be WHOA!!!

[@sovereignratio]

The problem is that he's too good and might not fit in well with other musicians that aren't quite at that level. This guy has to be in a band where everyone is on a similar level, he actually has quite the uphill battle in my opinion. It's kind of like the premise that the most attractive people never get hit on, if that makes sense.

[@JoBloggs3rd-os6se]

Phenomenal drummer and all round percussion talent however………. You are kidding if you think for a second that the ‘band’ (as a whole) and the studio producer would give this version the thumbs up to be released as a single etc. nb this is not, repeat not, a criticism of El Espesario. It is what it is, a fun and great showcase of his drumming.

[@russellvandyke5520]

I found El Estepario Siberiano watching your videos, the first reaction video you did on him actually. And I, like many including you, sat there with my jaw hanging somewhere around my knees. I played some in high school and beyond so I know how difficult what he does is. I really agree with you on this one. A lot of what he does seems a little over the top for his own pleasure, and wouldn't work with the band. I think this one could. The man's a monster (AI... hmm). I had thought I would pick it up again, it is great exercise for the body and coordination as I am over 60 now and I spend a great deal of my time at a desk typing. I think I'll stick to walking and waiting for more videos from the both of you. Thank you!

[@samcoll9443]

Definitely pick up some sticks again! My eighty year old great uncle came over from Canada and had a go on my kit, we couldn't get him off the thing for the whole 2 week visit.

Didn't they use a drum machine on that track? He's truly a machine! have to add - his transitioning is devastating, it's magical...I am rarely blown away by a musician, I'm a staunch jazz-head, but he's in rare company.

When you dedicated your entire life to your most loved thing to do in this world and at some point in your life you were so convinced and believed that you and drumming are destined and meant to be, meanwhile you never knew El Estepario exists. 😅

LOL

[@martinferris7052]

He has spent lot of time practicing to hone his remarkable drumming skills but it is not as simple as this. There is a video on his KZbin channel where he explains all the ups and downs of his life and what lead him to where is today.

[@chrissittlington]

Awesome. Taking what should be a relatively simple tune and messing around like this, it really improves your playing approach, on any instrument, but this is just crazy good and fun.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Rock on!

[@dkelban]

He is unbelievable and amazing. I'd love to see him do a buddy rich style solo.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah that'd be cool. Jazz solo

[@archdrum]

The Dali of drums!?! Surrealistic!❤️

[@majorpuggington]

He really does leave us speechless. Incredible his obsessive dedication to fine art.

You hit on it with the idea of it sounding kind of respectful towards the original. This feels like a track he really loves, because other than the 2 parts where all the hounds of hell were released on his kit, the other adds/him having fun really amplified and accentuated the original instead of running it over. The brief high-speed phrase on the high hat, and for me in particular, that bass triplet that sounds like Steve Harris riding out on the E string, added to the song right down in line with the mix. With enough natural talent, dedication, and practice someone can play insanely technical compositions or remixes of things. The next level of flex he's taking it to her is to take all that and work it into something in a way that aounds coherent rather than sounding like someone publicly auditioning to be in a better band.

El Estepario's drumming is a combination of athletics, mathematics, rudiments, and Zen. I weep tears of joy watching his drumming. Like it is just not humanly possible. I would compare it to a person being blind for 50 years and then being given sight in full color. And he just says "practice". Not quite my friend. There's some divine intervention going on in there. a spiritial gift has found it's fertile destination. horaaah! And he's young.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He out works us :) Work is not mindless hours. He’s engaged. That’s very draining

[@MrShadowhideyou]

I love him and and totally impressed by his drumming skills. At the time, if the drummer played all that while performing that song I’d want to throw something. 😂

[@philippefrater2000]

He's exceptional! The best! 🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

👌

[@danielschmaderer]

2:47 that was so clean. I mean I always expect him to do amazing drumming.

[@draknarok]

His secret? Practice 8h a day!! Respect ❤

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I love how open he is. The secret is there is no secret.

[@Tammy-xf4kz]

30 hours a day, 10 days a week ,

[@matekovacs9166]

Im not a drummer but this guy is on ridiculous. This man is so precise, fast, showmanship and unbeliveable creative.... This dude is a god
