Eloy is hands down the god of metal drummers! No one can come close to the ferocity or the technical ability that monster has! I don’t canes how fast a certain drummers can play, Eloy can play just as fast but he has so much more passion and technique than anyone else in metal.......not even close!

[@Darwinist]

What really makes the Eloy-era Sepultura cool is how effortlessly he blends highly technical death-metal derived drumming not only with that Brazilian percussion flavor but also how he can drop into something simple like a punky d-beat as well. Sepultura have always worn their love for crusty punk stuff on their sleeve as well as the heavy metal and when that shines through I think they are at their best.

More Eloy!!!

I'll try Felipe!

[@davidviteris]

I firmly believe Eloy's a Dave Weckl level savant, he's pretty much the next step (leap) in metal drumming. The rehearsal footage that he regularly posts on his channel is completely ridiculous; his "Solo of the Brazilian Rhythms" is straight up next level stuff. As for Sepultura tracks there's the drum cams for "Desperate Cry (live)" and "Pentagram". Hope to see more Eloy over here. Cheers!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yo David. Great comment Man! Yeah he's crazy. I'll try and get to those tracks brother!

I have been following Sepultura since the start and i actually cry when Eloy plays with them live. MY FAKKING GOD!!!!!! YOU CANT FIND A BETTER DRUMMER BOTH TECHNICALLY AND PLAYING STYLE!

[@arthurricardo4652]

Cara, você tem que fazer mais vídeos do Eloy!!! Ele é uma força da natureza... O cara é muito gente boa, humilde demais.

[@richmbailey]

I concur with your post comments. As amazing as Tomas is, Eloy has the swing, groove (Latin feel), and power that catch most listeners ears, at least from my point of view. And, as a drummer, in the pocket groove hits me most. Not taking anything away from Tomas' amazing chops. It's like ice cream favors. We all like something different. Cheers.

[@alexandrehenryferreirateix4708]

Casagrande tem influencia de Meshuggah, ele disse em uma entrevista com seu professor de bateria. Que estava escutando Meshuggah. Essa linha de bataria tem influencia de Meshuggah.

[@johnnyriley5943]

Eloy's Evans Drumhead "Test Subject EC-005" vid is awesome. It's great that he still incorporates his Latin rhythmic influences & lets them shine through. Growing up in the 80s, I never was a big Sepultura fan. Music production/recording technology has come a LONG way. Their newer stuff, especially since Mr. Casagrande came aboard, has made lots of new fans. Hopefully, the man's doing lots of neck workouts. That Head-Bob is strong, and contagious...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA. Nice one Johnny!

[@FuggYew666]

ELOY CASAGRANDE IS A FREAK BEAST. ONE OF THE BEST DRUMMERS AROUND.

Eloy Casagrande - Pentagram (Sepultura) is really cool

[@rebelofbabylon3091]

Latter Sepultura is underrated, people rave on about the classics but their new shit is powerful, thanks in part to Eloy's drumming.

Nice to see you liked our work 👊🏼🖤🐰

[@mikaellk]

Damn, again on wife's account, but what the hell.. What I seriously love on Eloy's "thing" is that there always seems to be those extra two or three notes somewhere making things kinda overlap / ebb and flow to another thing. Continuous mayhem. And Andrew, worry not, because here is one meshuggah fan, that totally get's what you say. Thomas is a machine and a beast. Eloy is a beast of different kind, but same(ish) magnitude. Different styles, maxium talent.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That's it! Different strokes!

[@GustavoSaFortes]

Andrew, another Brazilian drummer you shoul definitely check out is Bruno Valverde, he is the drummer of the brazilian power metal band Angra but has a lot of other drum gigs as well. Last year Bruno did a tour with Smith/Kotzen (a project from the guitarrist Ritchie Kotzen and Adrian Smith from Iron maiden). Bruno even did the impossible job of learning the entire Sepultura setlist in 2 and a half days to quickly substitute Eloy in 3 gigs in the States after Eloy broke his leg. You should totally check him out.

you right, beacuse for modern drummer he make a solo in a constest, he really can play today to.

[@Helldemar]

Man, I'm a 34-year-old die-hard Metal fan from Brazil and have been following Sepultura's music since I was 10. I have seen all their phases so far and I can say for sure that Eloy is their best drummer to the date, and I don't want to demean the work of Igor, Jean, and even Roy Mayorga who only played for a short time with the band. Meshugah is my favorite band of all time, I've traveled twice to São Paulo to see them (3-hour flight and very expensive plane tickets). Both bands are incredible and both drummers have put their names on the history of music, anybody can enjoy or prefer any of the bands and drummers, and it's fine. Great job on the reaction videos. I haven't checked your podcast yet but will sure do it.

[@da1ewok]

Eloy is so fucking good! I used to be really into Sepultura back in the 90s, now I just listen to them for this guy

[@railander]

I am a Meshuggah fan and also a Sepultura fan and I agree with you. Tomas Haake is awesome but Eloy's drumming is much more dynamic. It's not that straight machine like endless battery, Eloy's more like a dance. Still quite violent but with a lot more movement.

[@JP-db2rf]

react to "Last Time" Sepultura... and Bruno Valverde from ANGRA (Brazilian PowerMetal band)

[@jarbasfernandes5102]

Composição e execução perfeitas

[@felipevillela4066]

Eloy's ghost notes are harder than most blastbeats.

[@loud7070]

Man that boy is smashing those drums. I believe his hitting so intentionally hard is limiting, hence the smaller kit.

[@TheLikeButtonLMAO]

I think one of the craziest things about eloy is that he gets that sound, and doesnt use triggers.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Just belts the drum kit perfectly

[@thorugs2816]

Sick! Intense and creative drumming. Air molecules running for cover

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA yup!

[@CephalicMiasma4]

Eloy is a basher in the absolute best sense of the word. On top of being incredibly creative and groovy. He hits hard because he wants to, not because he has to. He adds a real punch to the sound he gets out of the instrument.

[@MrGryph78]

Glad you took a shot at this particular video. Both Eloy and Tomas are my drummer man crushes right now. I know what you mean with your preference of Sepultura over Meshuggah, Meshuggah takes a lot of energy just to listen to and sometimes I'm just not in the right place to give that much of myself to listening to music. But when I am in the mood to listen to Meshuggah, they are incomparable.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I totally get that! Both very impressive. Loving exploring all this new (to me) stuff!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes. He's on my hit list Daniel!

[@schraedera]

Sepultura is a beautiful fit for Eloy's drumming with the way they've always hybridized metal with Brazilian/Latin rhythms. And with respect to Eloy and Tomas Haake, the interesting contrast to me is how aggressive Eloy is vs. how relaxed Tomas is, and how each approach is perfect within their group. And speaking of Meshuggah or Meshuggah-adjacent stuff, check out the video of Morgan Ågren and Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah guitarist) playing a short instrumental medley from Fredrik's solo album Sol Niger Within on Morgan's Swedish TV series if you get a chance- there aren't a whole lot of drummers in the world that could go from playing with Frank Zappa and Steve Vai to playing with Fredrik besides Morgan.

the 2014 performance was probably the best way to show skill, but in the end in doing that kind of performances is probably not where you can get certain salary for living. Adopting a popular framework (a great metal band) and pushing the boundaries in it is probably the best way to get your excellent playing most widely appreciated. :)
