I thought I was a drummer. I played in the Kennedy Center when I was 17. All State band 4 years in a row. First chair all-county 4 years in a row. Jazz bands. Rock bands. You name it. I am humbled to say that I knew nothing about the possibilities of drumming. This guy makes my heart sing!

[@thembishop]

I have played guitar for over 30 years. One of my best friends is a great drummer. He put me onto Estepario. Needless to say, my friend feels exactly the same as you. His exact words were, "I play drums everyday, it's my true passion. I consider myself above-average in skill. This man's (Estepario) talent is what I consider to be GOD TIER. I can't even wrap my head around how he is this good."

[@medusa210562]

Don't feel jealous he was born with super motor skills

[@bwalker4194]

Oh, not jealous in the least! Simply marveling at a talent level far past my own.

[@khalidamajoud4114]

​@@medusa210562Exceptional talent and insane dedication combined...The result is nuclear!

[@JtheKiwi]

So I’ve watched the original video, and at least 30 different reaction videos multiple times, and you’re the first person to notice the super-fast cymbal-choke directly into another crash. Great spotting, and cool reaction.

[@inatcacenco3006]

Anthony is very good at details, agree

[@CatchAUAP]

The Godzilla Eminem drum Solo he did was epic too. Dude is a Unit

[@LorimaRBG]

Watch & Misery Business.. it's 2 years old but gold cover😉

[@Cazz3525]

My favourite.

[@lookazpl]

Please do that one next, Ray

[@VoidCosmonaut]

Bongo is his best yet

[@MSpight]

Easily one of the best musicians alive

[@rudhelm6721]

The thing he does with his right hand is called a «Gravitiy Blast». You use the rim of the drum as a pivot point when moving his hand up to get another hit. This way you get two hits from a movement you normally just get one. His Control is just out of this world!

[@marianoromano484]

and theres something thats gonna happen. every time. when u hear blinding lights, the original, u r gonna think of this cover. i actually like this one better. he listens to anything and he just makes it beter. hes a genius.

[@kingsfan62]

The GroveFather is mesmerizing in it all. He's absolutely fire. He has many other covers that he absolutely crushes.

[@i.r.drummer]

So glad you got to see this bro! I’ve followed EES since March 2020 when he “only had” about 25k followers and subscribers across all platforms, and now he has almost 3.5 million on each. He’s entered a new realm where he’s being reacted to by a wide range of people, to include people that don’t know anything about drums, but they can’t stop watching.

[@YZFR_6]

I ve always wanted to learn the drums, but I couldn't, I've seen el estepario on youtube and I m watching his stuff on a daily bases this dude makes me shiver he's a god, I love that guy

[@zoolander1721]

This guy, just keeps blowing my mind, any song, and i mean ANY song, he just kills it, he makes everything better, its phenominal, and then he does it whilst lighting a cigi, or drink coffee or beer, he's the untimate master of precussion, even made a drumophone, electric drum plus bass, its unhuman nearly, robot drumming at 600bpm got nothing on this guy, seen him on the tripple pedal? Holy fk!

[@wynandmorgan9985]

This guy is ridiculous! You MUST check out him doing Godzilla from EM... CRAZY AF!!!

[@FeAbbady]

6:47 a gente chama essa técnica de Blast Beat na bateria.. é uma tecnica muito usada no heavy metal e black metal para atingir velocidades ainda mais rápidas so com uma mão. É muito parecida com uma tecnica que também se faz no pedal para "fingir" ser um pedal duplo, so arrastando o pé de um lado pro outro com a ponta na sapata do pedal. Então na caixa para fazer uma batida rápida ao inves de fazer com as duas mãos, se faz com o auxilio do aro da caixa.

[@manfrommaine1194]

“Best multitasker in the world” is such a funny but great way to put it 😂

[@wallacehardiniii9038]

Your awareness to detail is impeccable.

[@punicwars2]

he is pure madness. reinventing drumming.

[@rxchino]

that tecnhique is called gravity blast - the one handed stroke roll. It's just crazy. that's a buddy rich technique

[@timcummings6581]

What's insane is that while he's doing the gravity blast with his right hand he's also doing a short one with his left. I noticed it after maybe the 3rd time I viewed this, maybe because there is so much going on I didn't see it at first. While there's no way I can achieve his level, I've been cherry picking some of his ideas. 🤙🤙

[@rxchino]

you're absolutely right! He's doing gravity blast on both hands while on different tempos as well hahahaha that dude is insane @@timcummings6581

[@juliem6696]

Great reaction - you're the first one of these where all the tricks were caught the first time through. So much going on!

[@carrythetorch33]

I cant get enough of this dude. This song man!!. Best ive ever seen imo

[@chriscavanaugh100]

Love seeing great artists propping up others bro Keep it up Anthony

[@carmenhuyser808]

Thank you for your voice. It's soothing me out of a sad day ❤

[@instigatorartworks]

FINALLY, I have been waiting for you to find this drummer

[@alathor420]

I've seen many reaction videos and you're the only one that brought up the holding of the splash. Dude is a monster!

[@judigrumm7190]

Amazing talent!

[@hilmanic28]

Lol I will click and watch every new reaction video of this cover. Don't think I'll stop for the foreseeable future. It's just that damn good! Love watching your reactions to it btw, probably the best reaction so far!

[@wezdog13008]

Subscribed and here for more! This man is the greatest drummer to ever pick up sticks

[@javierdelabarrera8090]

Extraordinary ; what a eximios drummer . Best of the best 👏👏👏👏

[@drvinson8947]

You’re the first reviewer that I’ve seen notice the stick drops. I was like, is no one else seeing this? 😅

[@AcidzDesigns]

The little triplet sound is a called a gravity blast, its like hitting the drum twice for 1 movement

[@secrated]

His coordination is craaaazy!

[@instigatorartworks]

he;s like a non digital live looper but with no looping. CRAZY and he's having a blast. On his page he does increase your speed daily teachings for free. This is how I'd love for you to watch Tash. She's 28 and plays 25 instruments. Horns, strings, drums, loops, sax, b boxes, while singing. 5:00 in, you do exactly what I knew you'd do, your covering the drum tone and speed and sound with that damn mouth. the flow state level of artist. Like Anthony Ray's b boxing LOVE IT

[@ukdnbmarsh]

i knew this would melt your brain, El Estepario is just on a whole new level

[@chrishatton2642]

Keep in mind while he does all the dualist work with his right foot, and all the crazy stuff up top, he is still working his high hat with his left foot.

[@louannlang7471]

And ah said oooooooooooo I'm blinded....this was fkn fire.

[@SuperRcolvin]

you're spot on man

[@johndrake7498]

Best drummer Ive ever seen bar none. Just a pure monster.

[@DrunkBrainAllTheWay]

The reason we like reaction videos is because we already dig this a lot, but then we also get to see others being blown away by the same stuff.

[@antdte.5523]

TREMENDO!!!

[@Fletcher938]

you need to watch him do one-handed mind blowing!!!

[@martinarscott3524]

His footwork on his Knights of Cydonia cover have to be seen!

[@dbartley555]

We all love to see greatness move forward

[@richardbarrowjr8961]

That dude is a badass man I've been watching hours of them he is probably the best drummer I've ever seen and I've been over 300 conference before and yeah he's the greatest I think he's

[@egocelatrixcelatrix2514]

Wow very nice

[@charlesemmer]

You have to watch his one-handed drumming videos.

[@kspayton]

i love seeing the reactions this guy gets from professional drummers. XD

[@onnysk8]

He is a machine

[@stevenmonte7397]

This dude is a drum GOD!!!! He is FIRE!!!

[@bepo40]

Check more of his covers, you'll be amazed again and again, he's incredible in every way.

[@pikyarte]

Check his cover to Eminem Godzila

[@dharmafinder6692]

My best drummer! He is not just drummer he is artist!

[@puiu2773]

Best drummer ever !!!

[@dejanvujanovic8104]

Please shot me, he will be the reason if I stop practicing drumms, I will just play as I can. His ability, his speed, technique, his creativity is above of insane.

[@nikkivandersee6286]

It's called a gravity blast, when he "double" hit the drums 🤘

[@TRPLD]

There is a short of him out there (something like "proof I am a computer") where he plays 16ths with his left, 3rds with the base drum, 4ths with the high hats, and 5ths with the right hand. It is not funny how on point he is!

[@TRPLD]

Never mind you talked about it at 1:40

[@srudine]

El Estepario is the game changer. There are none better IMO. Check out his other covers (Everybody Dance Now, Beast And The Harlot, The Pot, Feel Good Inc) & prepare to be blown away. His one handed drum shorts Vol.1 will leave you speechless. Great reaction!

[@supertrucker99]

Im a musician and IN MAD LOVE W HIS ETHICS

[@ivegyattocomment]

remember that this same man who told us talent is bullshit, hard work pays off.

[@Hitmaker649]

❤

[@mll7674]

Gravity blast is awesome

[@jn5542]

Mans a rally driver on the weekends with that footwork 😅

[@beardedswamplife]

The best drummer of all times

[@Uphold-your-Rights]

He creates new drum techniques. The least we can do is create new adjectives to describe his dedication. Superastoundingmegaawesome? I don't know. It always fun watching anyone that dedicated to their craft.

[@gggoldman1]

Yes brother!!! So happy you are reacting to him. The Godzilla cover with blown your mind!

[@showmoke]

He’s using the ‘push-pull’ method of single hand stick beats playing. Basically, that enables the player to play TWO beats on the drum with one single downstroke.

[@beardedswamplife]

This guy is fucking Awesome

[@ShinnaDEW]

What most people dont realize. His style of drumming and the Kit takes a lo and i mean ALOT of physical power. Must be draining AF. F.e. his single padel double paddel uses ofc 2 beaters. And each beater has its own spring. So with one foot he needs the power of twon feet. Meanwhile the other feet still is used either on the highhat or a different base/snare/bell(he uses lots of stuff on that feet). His legs and feets have to hurt like hell.

[@darengardner6219]

The John Wick of drums super efficient , brilliant .

[@robbiespsc5719]

love the reaction bro!!!! got to check out Godzilla!!!

[@orecus]

Lets go!

[@jasonlove6931]

You should check out some of his pan drumming or even his pipe drum set that he made.

[@davidlozano2736]

One hand 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hiSPACEmango]

The man is God tier

[@zoolander1721]

Holes in cymbols man, ( extra stick) he rocks with 3 sticks sometimes.

[@Vengefulpig6200]

You need to watch the bongo song cover it’s insane!!!!

[@MrOmfgtacos]

Ha i was wondering if someone would dono for the Groovefather eventually❤

[@phimuskapsi]

You should check out his C&C Music Factory cover, or Godzilla from Em.

[@davefroman4700]

If you listen really closely when he is doing that double stick routine? I swear he is getting a rimshot on the floor tom from that action as well.

[@paulwhite6367]

welcome.......to the goat

[@ryderjohnson1293]

The GrooveFather strikes again

[@mll7674]

16 note king.

[@computer8108]

HE ALSO COVER GODZILLA, AND THATS REALLY DOPE, you must see that bro

[@mstewart109]

Even John Bonham would have been impressed with this guy. Amazing. More of him please

[@jhamler1]

Are you kidding? John Bonham would have killed himself (before he actually DID kill himself) if he'd seen El Estepario. As a drummer myself, it's absolutely insane what this man is doing. It literally doesn't seem possible. Except I've witnessed the possibility in action and I'm flabbergasted.

[@debagusadi3626]

Nniiicee

[@jordankimberg1]

Your jaw literally dropped at 2:22. I agree.

[@raptor_il89lv]

Blinding by the skill😂 )))

[@strega42]

Disclaimer: I have no damn rhythm and zero musical ability. I can hold a simple tune if you nail it to my hand... sometimes. So I could be entirely wrong about this, but it LOOKS like when he's using the stick to hit the side of the snare drum, he's ALSO hitting the top of the drum with his hand/fingers. This guy isn't a drummer. He's a damn wizard.

[@avtomatt554]

I think the dude in your chat mentioned it there, but that trick he does where he's rolling his right stick off of his left stick on his snare is called a gravity blast. It's just that most (read: literally every other drummer) does it by rolling their stick off of the rim of the snare. I've been playing music almost as long as this guy has been alive, and I have never, ever seen anyone do a gravity blast off of their own stick before him. He really is the John Wick of drums, and he's only in his 20's. It's both mesmerizing and infuriating. And yeah, those Duallist pedals are really difficult to get the hang of. They make them with three beaters as well. They're so hard to use it's almost not it. He's a sorcerer with that thing.

[@christianochoa5804]

G of drums

[@xxxNMPxxx]

I've watched his video well over 50 times and never once noticed him grabbing the splash until you pointed it out.

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

JEFF was HERE 🏆

[@weltstrand4732]

John Wick of Drum`s man.... !

[@dovlassaturnus7805]

What ure talking about at around 7th min of the video is called gravity beat... he is not hitting with back of the stick, he is using it to make like a roll beat with single stick... it's hard to explain. It's like a double roll with 2 sticks, but he is doing it with one stick...crazy!

[@AnthonyRay]

Appreciate the explanation. It's very interesting what he does. I don't know much about drumming, but even the blind can tell he's incredibly skilled.

[@dovlassaturnus7805]

@AnthonyRay I played drums for some time, and trust me, it's even more mind-blowing when u know what's he does

[@davidbradshaw2293]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥

[@rjbennett3418]

I have the same reaction to every one of this guys videos...."hold up" "waaaiiitt a minute" "naw. He didn't" "holy sh*t he did"!!!!

[@mll7674]

You think he’s hitting the stick on the snare. But he’s not. He’s hitting the edge of the drum while he able to hit the snare with the other stick. Appears to be hitting the stick but never making contact with either sticks. His limp dependents is insane.

[@tinyhammer1627]

need i say more god level all genra sss+rank

[@flaviarevagliatti]

Hello ! I love your reactions everytime. Greetings from Argentina ♥ Can u react to Chili from Hwasa ? Is similar a Cold Blooded of Jessi. Thanks !!
