Band Teacher Goes Crazy For Feel Good By El Estepario Siberiano

[@alexwehl2731]

First time watching you review this drum deity. Love your generous and sincere manner. Yet another happy subscriber. 👏

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much for the kind words Alex and the sub!

[@Sanzabaar]

I can't get enough of this guy. Truly a masterpiece and God Bless him for sharing his unique abilities with the world!

[@indus3270]

He's indeed not a show-off. His drumming is what I would call a non-verbal humble-brag. Him pointing at his tattoo in the end is a tribute to the song, since the tattoo shows the primary scenery from the official video for Feel Good Inc. We can hence definitely conclude EES loves this song and visibly enjoyed playing his drum interpretation. I've loved this song since the very moment it first came out and only appreciated it more and more as time moved along and imho EES absolutely nailed the essence of the song, all while massively overplaying it!

[@bobcieslinski]

I love this song too and he made it even more special. I like the way you described it as his drumming is the humble brag.

[@specialkonacid6574]

He also makes it clear that his skills are the result of years of dedication and hard work . ❤

[@txominlara967]

Im Spanish and I really enjoy the reactions that many people make about El Estepario, it makes me feel proud.´A great reaction from your side, this video he shows that besides being able to play fast, he has a brutal feeling and this not only gives you all the hours he practices, he is showing that he enjoys it. He is a great musician with capital letters.

[@joseluisnavarro7019]

hola des valencia a mi me pasa lo mismo intento ver todas las reacciones nuevas cada dia

[@bobcieslinski]

He is amazing. I love what he can do and I’ve heard his video for 1million subs. He seem like a down to earth really good dude.

Bob SO wonderful ….. El Estepario is a great example ton love what your doing and your ahead of the game….what a special individual.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thank you kindly!

[@evilwayz7994]

im 40 years old a pretty decent drummer. and have a pretty vast knowledge of music. and i cant think of a better dummer than this guy. he makes it look easy. serious question is there really a better drummer? there are more drummers that bring inspiration to people than Esterpario. there are some real legends in the drumming world. but can anyone do what this guy does i havent seen it. i ask myself can El Estepario do what anyone else can. and i have to say yes!!!

[@bobcieslinski]

There are some legendary drummers and they are all incredible musicians. This guy pretty much came from no where and hit this level pretty much on his own. I have to say that is an incredible feat since most legends had someone to mentor them. Who knows where he goes from here. It won’t be easy to still learn and become even better. It seems like he has the motivation and chip on his shoulder. Should be a fun ride to see what happens next. Super cool that you are a drummer too. My son is a drummer and an outstanding one too. Drummers just have different brains and can do so many more things easier than the rest of us.

[@zandiskoul]

Yall are weird. Get out and go to metal shows.

[@johnkelly6187]

Meh

[@Nirotix]

There are amazing drummer's out there, no doubt about that. Very passionate drummer's like Chad, Neil when he was alive, heck.. you could probably form a quick list of 2 dozen drummer's in the world today and they would all be top tier of the Drumming World. But no one, and I mean no one, can do what Jorge Garrido can do. He is just gifted and in another dimension of drumming. The guy is an octopus with completely independent limbs. He's just very gifted and practices alot.

[@lowabstractionlevel3910]

Well you could look among the drummers that EES idolizes. For example, I remember him saying that Thomas Lang is unreachable.

[@antonoat]

Most of us learn throughout life that love is the ultimate motivator , he truly loves music! Really enjoy your enthusiasm and insight, thank you! 👏👍😀

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@viktormeszaros8587]

I can't play on any instruments but I remember for the first time a watched one of his short and he shocked me and knew he's something special a magician

[@Henninchs]

It's not just his technique but creativity and musicality. He is playing a lot of different styles and he finds a tasty complex groove that blows my mind. He would be a great drum teacher for other drummers - if they are half way able to get his technical skills.

[@bobcieslinski]

I agree with all of it and he is actually doing videos for Drumeo now.

[@Henninchs]

@@bobcieslinski yes his work at Drumeo is super. Anyway, I think he could also be a personal teacher or external drum specialist for professional drummers to inspire great songs become greater.

[@Sabamonster]

[@justinatest9456]

Those snare-scraping strokes are breaking my brain. As easy as it seems, I get the feeling it's the most impressive part in this (so far).

[@bobcieslinski]

Just getting that timing down is crazy. Wow!

[@chadvarnell1889]

That requires a MUCH softer touch. His ability to mix so many techniques with wildly different dynamics to make a balanced sound profile is mind boggling. The effortless switching of the kick back and forth in between double stroke & single stroke mode is fantastic!

[@franklp2183]

Totally with ya Bob! I've just started following EES (and now you because of your considerate and meaningful analysis). It's so rewarding and inspiring to see pure talent like this.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Frank and it’s nice to have you here on the channel! Man he’s a beast what a talent.

[@arieleinav]

Have a great weekend guys I love El Espario . I think that he is the num 1 drummer in the world today

[@bobcieslinski]

He’s incredible. He keeps blowing me away.

[@aitorledesma4295]

Your comment about the way he practice enjoying every second, makes me remember something I read about Jimmy Hendrix. He was always practicing with his guitar. On road trips, at the hotel room, etc. Just enjoying!

[@bobcieslinski]

Yep some people are like that and it pushes them to another level.

[@jamescrock62]

Genuine reactions are just a blessing. Your appreciation for his technicalities is enjoyable all on their own.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much James!

[@Hote__]

Another great reaction video. What I love about this channel is that you really dive deep into the details. I love to watch these crazy drum videos from Estepario, Larnell Lewis etc. But I don’t play any instrument myself. And a lot of the technical details are lost to me and I miss a lot of cool things. So these videos help me to appreciate the artistry even more. You mentioned the one handed drumming. I would love to see a reaction to that. He has a long compilation video of the one handed shorts. It’s truly amazing. And the creativity is next level in those. He for example uses a lot of the double base to cover the missing toms and lack of the other hand.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks so much for the kind words about my videos. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying them. I’ll be doing more of his stuff. He is an incredible talent.

[@gloriacanovarela6181]

Me encantan tus reacciones al Estepario Siberiano, porque realmente aprecias el trabajo, la práctica y la creatividad que utiliza . Te das cuenta incluso de lo en forma que está y el aguante que tiene que tener para lidiar con canciones tan complicadas de tocar. Realmente aprecio tu canal. Que pases unas felices fiestas de navidad y aló nuevo.

[@FZH13]

I absolutely love your perspective on the technical aspects of what's being played! I was an only ok drummer in HS, but this guy really makes want to start practicing again! Ur emotion and joy of greatness is so excellent! Cheers amigo!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks I really appreciate the kind words. So cool you were a drummer in hs. My son was and is a drummer.

[@FZH13]

@bobcieslinski Ur more than welcome! Funny, my mom got me into drums as she played the bass drum in marching band in the 60s, which she would kick my arse for saying. It was just so fun, as when I could barely hold a beat early on, she was still so supportive! We just loved rythm! Things got better, and my band teacher let me play a couple of songs with his real band at a local ski center. I was so nervous, but he had the same caring coaching persona I believe you have! I really do appreciate teachers and all that you go through to find appreciative students! Keep it up! 😀

[@guygourley2411]

I’m not sure but it seems his sticks are a bit longer than normal, but that could be wrong. He doesn’t have a really large kit but uses it well. That sweep in the snare was interesting, pretty innovative. A few of those fills almost seemed like he was going to get out of time but then he was right back in rhythm. His happy face reminds me of that song “play on me drums all day”

[@bobcieslinski]

Yeah I can hear that song while watching him. I think because he is using a GoPro it makes his video look different. That could be the long stick look you are seeing.

[@dirkhamplewski6203]

It takes practice, but in the end, it takes Passion to play this Dude.

[@FortinInk]

The ability to pick up and put down the tambourine quietly while doing everything else he’s doing, is just proof that he’s the fucking king

[@bobcieslinski]

Good point.

[@brandonmika74]

Watch the one he does with congas on his set. The impossible song. The original is played by 2 drummers and he kills it all by himself

[@merqury5]

Jorges face shows he is in the zone. Anyone who really plays knows what I mean. Nothing else exists in that moment.

[@bobcieslinski]

He does look so focused.

[@bepo40]

Great and honest reaction! You should check his 1 million subscribers video and you will find out a lot about him and his journey to this point on. If your kids in school are not too young (due to some swears and harder language), you can show them the same video to inspire them. Hope to see more of your reactions in the future.

[@OriginalNuckChorris]

I second this.

[@bobcieslinski]

I did watch that after the first video i reacted to. I had to find out more about him. I love this guy just the way he talks and his approach to everything. It’s no wonder he is playing at this level.

[@alfredorodriguez3750]

You can't Even see him doble beat on the snare .......amazing

[@virgilbrant]

Not a drummer, but am a classical pianist. You are completely right about practicing being other than practice. I could sit for hours '"practicing '"and at the end, it would feel as if only an hour had passed. For me, time stands still because my focus is on exploring various yet subtle ways of performing the composition, AND that this '"practice"' is completely "'performance stress "' free. When you have a flow time stands still. If the practice is filled with anxious stops and starts, time expands exponentially thereby making it "'practice"'. Why do I watch drumming? Because a drummer's various arrangements are expressed through it's musicality, I enjoy those subtle changes immensely. Love the way you break down the performance.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks I appreciate the kind words and also for confirming what I think about practice. Nice to hear that you are a classical pianist. You must be very good.

[@evilwayz7994]

if your just recently discovering this guy you're in for one heck of a rabbit hole! enjoy the show you haven't seen anything yet lol

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks this is only my second video.

[@caryd67]

He’s like a very skilled MMA fighter who can “play” from either stance. I believe he’s right-handed, but he can switch to open-handed whenever needed. He really takes the concept of “limb independence” to a whole new level.

[@darrenwilkes5858]

Majority of people could practise 24 hours a day your entire life and never get to his level... A very talented man born with several brains..

[@bobcieslinski]

You are right about that but working hard can get you close.

[@luisgomez1193]

Amazing reaction video. You should do more about this guy

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks! Will do!

[@rigelgutierrez9866]

He is too unorthodox to be this good. This guy has reimagined drumming for everyone. Maybe only musicians can appreciate how good and creative he is.

[@bobcieslinski]

He is truly someone who embodies hard work equals talent.

[@timw4369]

hes great and a great attitude.

[@bobcieslinski]

I agree.

[@marianoromano484]

you should have seen him the other day, deconstructing Rush´s Tom Sawyer. he never ever listened to it before, but in about hours he got it, and even did his thing. it was so much fun watching him trying, and finally got it. it was live on twitch. u need to see his live streams, where he interacts with audience. u might get him to answer to your questions or suggestions. hes just amazing. to me hes currently best drummer of our time, and you know what? hes so humble...

[@bobcieslinski]

I love that about him that he is so humble with that much talent. I love watching and listening to him because of that.

[@nancysewell6670]

He's amazing right? He's got that creativity and musicality that makes every song he covers into something better regardless of the style. What a showman! On this song, he's using the dualist pedal which most drummers have conceded defeat with. So cool, but that's what discipline, 8 hours practice a day plus all the physical workouts, etc., can accomplish. You mentioned fun and when he was in an interview he said that's one of the most important aspect of improving your craft. You MUST have fun!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for the great awesome comments Nancy. Yep making it a fun experience is the most important part.

[@blastingweevil2968]

i think the most impressive thing for me on this cover is the fact he can put a stick down and pick up the tambourine without making a sound on a mic'ed up kit....

[@bobcieslinski]

That’s a great point. His finesse is off the charts. It’s nothing for him to control all four limbs completely independent of each other. He’s a special talent.

[@dominicfrabotta565]

I know I commented before, about how he'd be a drum majors wet dream, but my god. His consistency with that tambourine is out of this world. Stick height, accents, crescendos, doesn't matter. He's just so fucking consistent. The dude is a robot in mind. I've been playing for 17 years, I don't know if I should quit or practice harder lol. (I'll never quit, but life lol. Can't practice as much any more)

[@bobcieslinski]

It’s so hard to continue to find the time. I totally get it. It’s cool that you play and never ever give it up totally. Just accept the fact that you only have so much time and just do what you can.

[@nilsrp]

His name is Jorge Garrido. His KZbin channel is named El Estepario Siberiano.

[@JuanSan66]

Excellent and educational analysis. Thank you!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Juan!

[@charlesmusic1310]

I dont thank people talk enough about how easy he makes every song look if i didnt know any better an trust me i do i would swear i could play everything he does lol

[@dragonrider4339]

he is using that duelist pedal too its a single pedal that does double bass pedal just with one. Incredible..

[@javierdelabarrera8090]

Extraordinary !!! What a drumming accurate drumming machine 🥇

[@luminousfaedust]

I think it's neat that you brought up the guiro cuz my first thought when I saw it was "Oh he's using that to simulate that gourd thingy!" cuz I couldn't remember the term. His inventiveness and creativity when it comes to working with what he has to make more sounds than what one would think is possible is unmatched when it comes to drums.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks! Yeah this guy is really something with the way he can play and create. In a year from now he will be even better which is crazy to try to imagine.

[@Simon__L]

Those were hours of practice and repetition for that take, and result of tens of tries to get it right... he's happy he got it perfect and chilling doing it ..

[@bobcieslinski]

I heard his speaking videos and he is amazing on how transparent he is. It’s not magic it’s a lot of hard work.

[@Roamnroll]

Love your take on this, as always

[@Kjelleros]

Thanks for the great explanations!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks for watching!

[@charsi2424]

hello, sorry for my English, I am French.... I advise you to watch his version of "take on me" because it highlights something that musicians too often forget: the pleasure of playing, , and how powerful that can be

[@bobcieslinski]

You are so right Charsi!

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

Yeah check out his one-hannded drum compilation, It's wild.

[@bobcieslinski]

I’ll do that thanks.

[@Scrub_Jake]

FYI the double bass parts are actually done with one foot on a “single-double” pedal where it’s a normal pedal but you can hit a switch and make it hit twice as many notes with one foot it’s wild. Also in the one breakdown part with the hi-hat work, his left foot moves over to a pedal/cowbell thing where he holds a different beat so each limb is doing something completely independently at once 😅 he’s amazing!

[@bobcieslinski]

He sure is. Just amazing ability. He’s earned it though.

[@joelsmith7868]

As someone who did DCI i appreciate the acknowledgement. Many rock drummers ie cad sexton from 311 trace their roots to DCI. With that said this dude trancends the instrument although he needs to get more jazz influence to learn how to play a bit behind the beat instead on top of it, sometimes feels rushed but again hes the definition of a genius

[@bobcieslinski]

Hey Joel. So cool you marched DCI. I’ve had some connections with some higher up people in the corps. I love drum corps. I get what you are saying.

[@marianoromano484]

also, ive always wrote to EES to play stuff from Rush. and he never ever heard about neil peart before, and i was like what? and i was watching him live on twitch, that he was decoding Rush´s Tom Sawyer, and watching him blew my mind. then people said you r better than NP, and he said no. not a chance. hes so humble.

You are right Dominic. Great point

[@MAPIE1906]

[@zealousie]

those snare rolls you're talking about at around 6:00 are actually not at all similar to what drum corps do. what he's doing is colloquially referred to as "gravity blasts" and it's a fairly recent phenomenon. first guy i saw do it was Johnny Rabb. it's a way to do a very convincing analog for a single stroke roll (RLRL RLRL) but with only one hand (it's not possible to do this type of roll at the volume he would do a normal single stroke roll at). when he does it here in the video (it's at 5:34, to be exact) he's trading hands back and forth between the two snare drums (LLLL RRRR). the reason this thing is so different - and FAST - is that on a single stroke you get two hits of the snare head. this happens because on the down-half of the stroke, the stick actually does a rimshot. it hits the head and rim at the same time. the trick is to actually keep going beyond a normal rimshot, and turn the spot where the rim meets the stick into the fulcrum. your hand goes BELOW the plane of the rim, forcing the tip-end of the stick upward. then, on the up-half of the stroke you just basically transfer the fulcum to the point between your thumb and index fingers while lifting the bottom of the stick back up, which forces the tip back downward because the majority of the stick's weight just went all the to the tip again. 2 strikes 1 stroke. there are other methods to achieve the same result, but none are as fast as gravity blasts. i honestly wish Buddy Rich were still around to give us his thoughts on them, cuz the purists call it cheating. I can see the logic too, as anyone can learn to do it in relatively short order, whereas something like the Moeller technique can take half a decade or more to develop properly. also, to be fair, a contemporary drum corp MIGHT do something like this for a solo, but they're usually in the purist camp, and this technique doesn't fall into standard drum or percussion training. just clearing all that up because OCD.

Had to spend around $1300 to get the coils changed, as BMW requires the entire radiator system to be removed, and then to refill it takes a vacuum suction method. I'm mechanically inclined but didn't want to tackle it. I've had around 5 different bikes since I moved to Vegas, lol. My previous was a nice Triumph Thunderbird, but I decided to get a bit more power and cruise control from the BMW. Problem is half the year here is too hot to ride, and the other half is too cold. In reality, there are about 4 nice riding months per year, but in summer it is just too hot. Can't take 110 air temp and 140 pavement temps.

The first bike I got to learn on was an old 1996 Honda Rebel 250. It was fun but after the first season was very underpowered. I ended up buying a Harley Softail Standard last summer. Still learning and working on things. My uncle who lived in Vegas thought I was nuts for starting. He would tell me about all of the accidents he was seeing in Vegas. At one point last year my son wanted to celebrate turning 21 by renting bikes and riding through red rock. We never made it a few things got in the way with work with him. He is mechanically inclined and studying to be a mechanical engineer. I’m not mechanically inclined at all. 😂

[@guygourley2411]

@@bobcieslinski As you know, a 250 is underpowered for the roads here. I've ridden a Honda CBR600RR, and although plenty of power, it vibrates way too much for me, not to mention the sport seating style. A Harley should suit you fine. There are a lot of pretty decent videos regarding safe riding, but to me there are three main things. One, be able to handle your bike a very slow speeds, like when in parking lot. Two, be aware of everyone else and ride like you are invisible. Three, just don't speed. Nice slow turns will let you go a long time with a fall, while pushing the bike in the turns to go faster, or just going faster down the road, will increase the chances of an accident. Oh, and always wear a helmet, preferably a full faced one. Had a few people tell me when they were in an accident the full faced helmet let them keep their chin and teeth. Although there are a lot of accidents in Vegas, I always feel if a person rides defensively and at a decent pace, their odds of getting in an accident go way down. But until you get out on an open road, just looking around at the scenery can be a bad thing. Learn to quickly scan then refocus on the road, or pull over, get out the camera, and take some safe scenic photos!

This might help you with something you pointed out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZm0mGiVj9-Dm9U If you breakdown the pulse of the rhythm and melody by the part each instrument and the vocals bring to the overall pulse it's easier to understand what Jorge is hearing and playing to.

Thanks!

Around 7:10 in your video you mention the flair in his left hand. That's in the link. It's about changing one of the standard push pull techniques fulcrums by using every finger. And yes, second year of Jr. Pipe and Drum, 1965 we were taught this technique for what was then called quads. Mallets! Expect from your drummers to work on this over the summer and you will have very different drummers in the fall. Did it ever strike you why so many of the best drummers are Latin? BTW, Jorge has studied all over. He didn't come by this in a vacuum.

u taked about practice. well, he did for 20 days, for eminems godzilla. thats a must. he musicalizes rap. just watch it. and he speeds uo to eminems singing, to his speed. just mind blowing. and u already reacted to it. sorry, and ive already comment it. sorry. but i watch several reactions. hes a god

[@bobcieslinski]

He’s amazing and worked so hard. I’m glad he is getting the attention he deserves.

[@mll7674]

He has 6 different drum set for different type of songs he covers.

There’s nothing better for me than somebody stopping and starting a video clip every 30 seconds to tell me what my eyes and ears are already telling me………thank you 🤔🤦‍♂️🤬

[@bobcieslinski]

I’m so glad you know enough to hear and see the things I am hearing and seeing too. Do you play an instrument Gary?

[@rojalesgary7355]

@@bobcieslinski Tbh Bob I don’t play an instrument but I love people who can especially EES 🥁 , I just like to watch his (and others) all the way through without any interruptions and then at the end of it the person watching along talks about all the points he/she would like to discuss 🙂 with the viewer(s). Stopping a video for what seems like every 30 seconds to explain something just kills it for me personally!!! I don’t believe I am the only one who thinks like this???

[@bobcieslinski]

@@rojalesgary7355 I gotcha. Totally understand. If I waited and did everything at the end then whatever I was talking about there would be no follow up example. So that’s why I do it. I explain it and then you see or hear it. I would also not remember everything if I waited to the end. Thanks for watching anyway!

@Bob Cieslinski Another KZbin channel, QuickTakes has stolen your reaction video of Tom's Diner.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks can you send me a link to that please. Thanks.

[@lancetaylor6647]

Why you think he not in the bests bands. Do you think it would kerb his creativity and that makes him not go down that route

[@bobcieslinski]

Some people don’t want to play in bands and just want to do their own thing that makes them happy. He seems like he is totally happy just making music and pushing himself to become better at his craft.

[@reytendido9616]

My fav drum cover he does -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Wqmpqdgbx5grMsi=TF-WCWuqGNYOAkae

[@bobcieslinski]

I’ll add that one. I love that original song. Even had my jazz band play it one year.

[@dewaynewalker2430]

I wonder like what his highest bpm is?

[@bobcieslinski]

No clue but I bet it’s in the 200’s

[@dewaynewalker2430]

Especially with the way he plays

[@igorpisce1036]

460bpm…there is a video

[@RGD2k]

El Estepario Siberiano doesn't believe in talent. He took up practising drums not to reach any particular level or to be in a band: just to prove that he could make himself better than he was. He reveals this in one of his videos. He came out of nowhere, because it was never about showing off or even having a skill to market. It was just his hobby to de-stress.

[@bobcieslinski]

I saw his 1 mil video and I love the way he says things. He is inspirational and backs up something I try to tell my students. That hard work is so important. You can have all of thr talent in the world but without the work you won’t be great.
