@@El.Sasquatcho69 100%. I'm a rock drummer, and most of the stuff I like falls within that realm -- British invasion, psych rock, indie rock, shoegaze, Britpop, alternative, etc. But I love going outside my comfort zone and drumming along with funk, jazz, R&B, hip hop, metal, punk, country, pop, and just about anything else that catches my ear.

Yeah i think her approach is the most realistic in terms of taking several listens and improving each time, most people need more than one run at it so this is really educational.

[@ragetist]

And the fact that she's just having fun, enjoying the process and clearly wants to learn despite of already being extremely talented.

Right! Way better than the dude from megadeath who charted the original out ahead of time? She is so much more professional.

[@daCubanaqt]

@@eriklarson9137 I don’t take anything away from Dirk. He just has a different method that works for him. I appreciate both equally. Dirk showed the importance of learning how to read and count music while Domino is showing us that there’s nothing wrong with perfecting your technique over time. I tremendously enjoyed watching each of them going through their process. Something to learn from all these drummers 😊

[@soulessshadow5356]

@@eriklarson9137 You'd be surprised how many drummers are self taught without learning to read music. Hence why Domino's process works better for those of us that learned that way. Dirks method is still fantastic for learning songs, but you HAVE to be able to read and understand sheet music and charting to use his method. You'll probably learn better using Dirks method if you can read sheet music, but Domino's works better for the drummers who can't. Nothing wrong with either method though, and it's all about using what works best for you to get better at your instrument. This goes for anything from drums to guitar, and all the way to brass and woodwind insturments like trumpet, trombone, flute, and clairnet.

[@leatherface711]

this woman has the natural groove inside her, as a drummer myself i think she can just feel a lot of the music and she is very conscientious of the emotion of the music

[@TheLEMRR]

My fav Mastodon tune. I think she really captured the overall vibe that Dailor lays down, even picking up on some of the killer machine-gun fills he peppers in throughout this song. This song is a tough ask on just a few takes. Great work!

[@corey2232]

Easily my favorite guest. I'd watch an entire series of her playing songs she hasn't heard before!

[@Muzikrazy213]

Especially metal. She seems to like it

[@wtfpwnz0red]

I love how all of these come out surprisingly similar to the original, but different enough that you can feel the personal touch. It's cool how someone unfamiliar can hear a song and end up in the same ballpark just by feel.

[@braindawg]

It's so funny that she assumed the track started with drumless bars and played all of her takes that way, then was confused when the actual track started with drumless bars! "Oh- I think it's without the drums...?"

[@sourhippo]

Almost like 90% of rock drums are exactly the same

[@MarciusVeloso]

IMO, rock is pretty much the same all the time. If you are a musician, you get the grasp of it pretty quickly. It isn't predictable when it comes to prog rock, which is made to be challenging, intricate, etc.

[@75353866]

I mean if playing in 4/4 constitutes it being similar then yeah, but dynamics, accents and double time parts were all different, so not really similar.

Exactly, without the drums the mix sounds muddy, the guitars don't sound heavy at all

[@nercksrule]

Mastodon is VERY drum-focused. Every member of the band gets a "moment in the sun" in the mix. They all complement each other. Taking out ANY part of the mix makes it feel "wrong".

[@ryu-ken]

I'll risk saying it sounds kinda poppy without the drums, or like a different drum part can really push it in that direction. Really a world of diference.

[@BahamutBreaker]

Domino absolutely kicks ass. Even if her “main” work is safe within simple 4/4 pop songs, she proves here that she can slay even on an uncomfortable track that’s way outside her typical work. Damn those Paiste cymbals sound gorgeous. One thing I absolutely LOVE about Domino’s appearance (and also Greyson’s) is she’s using a very basic kit, with just two toms and minimal cymbals - it doesn’t matter; she still rocks it out, even without the elaborate kits some other Drumeo guests bring to the studio.

[@claireredfield2481]

She is effortlessly charming. When she finds her groove, she absolutely crushes each song.

Brann is such a unique drummer, so that makes covering his parts extremely difficult. For someone who's not familiar with his style or Mastodon for that matter, she nailed it!

[@Bakazuraz]

This is what I was thinking. Brann throws a lot of drum fills throughout his songs in places that might not be expected. So unless you know his style, it is about impossible to replicate his drum part going in completely blind. But she did a fantastic job otherwise.

[@tmoore121]

First thing I thought was that her kit didn't have enough toms for all the fills lmao.

[@damon386]

This is probably my favourite Mastodon song. It made me realise how much the drums can influence the overall feel of the song. I don't feel like she ever quite nailed the feel of the chorus somehow. This was a tough one!

[@ambiention]

I think she missed a lot of the accents and syncopation in the other instruments in a lot of the sections that would really make the drum part fit properly. But you can’t really expect that on a track like this in that short a time.

[@deadforever]

I really like the idea of this channel. I did not realize the drummers hear the song without the drums. Love the idea, and the result is frankly amazing every time.

[@SarcastSempervirens]

She has nothing to "apologize" for, nobody expects any drummer here to simply invent the same track on the first take, it's much more interesting to hear their version and what someone else would do. She was amazing and did a great job!

[@alexandervang6064]

Seriously such an insanely fun series to watch. Watching professionals digest the tunes and then rely on instincts AND experience on the fly is amazing to watch! Domino's energy is infectious.

[@jonathandufern7421]

Her ability to laugh at herself with easy is absolutely gold. Great personality.

[@alexnlsptube]

This was the best video of yours, so far, from the ones i've seen.

[@Vakilando]

I love this. It's always so amazing to see how professional musicians can so quickly provide something so outstanding from scratch.

[@tombstonestakes]

As a guitar player, I think it would be fun to jam with Domino. She's not afraid to stretch and grow, she obviously loves music and playing drums no matter the style, and above everything else, you can tell she has fun and loves it. Playing with those kinds of people are the best.

[@darklordlc]

She absolutely nailed the verse groove. Wow. This is so difficult and she did an amazing job.

[@fabioriato]

Almost did. She missed the variation on the kick drum that plays along with the bass. Otherwise, it was pretty solid playthrough of the verse for someone who had never listened to the song before.

[@joshstorie246]

Nailed it mate get yourself a drink you thirsty fuck then learn anything about drumming

[@Ruth78620]

Domino kills it everytime! Shes so humble and endearing and insanely talented.

[@mihauostan2250]

Wow, you nailed it, Madame. I am pretty sure you would have enjoyed touring with the band, I totally see it. Fantastic energy, genuine humbleness, a contagious smile and so much joy while playing the drums. And it's so funny (in a good way) to see a crazy-happy drummer in a metal band (Nicko McBrain is a perfect example). Muy bien hecho!!!

[@uchia6980]

She really felt the song, such a wonderful musician😊❤ Please more episodes featuring Domino, She's amazing.

[@scottdouglasmusic4245]

Yes please! ❤🎶

[@c.augustin]

Domino always "gets it". Even if it is not what the original drummer did - it is always a joy to listen to what she comes up with. I wonder if 66Samus will do a reaction on this one … 😁

[@jdmoncada8205]

I hope he does! His reactions are always entertaining.

[@sporkybutterz]

Ooooohhh yeeahhhhh

[@Tuskanr]

She is so fun to watch and to hear. Amazing drummer and hope to see a lot more of these with her.

[@nickademus489]

Domino is so talented, and fun! Watching her makes me happy. Thanks for such a great drum series!

[@SquizbarDeAlienOfficial]

Emperor of Sand is such a great album. Jaguar God’s guitar solo is so damn good

[@Sparty681]

She does so much with so little. Her hands are stupid fast and its fun watching her evolve as she learns the song. Really enjoy her, fun to watch.

[@RolanTHUNDER]

She nailed it! Look at how smooth she is here 8:52-8:55 👏🤗

[@hazeleyedsoul3282]

Kudos to her and all the musicians that are brave enough to accept the challenge of hearing and learning a song completely unknown to them. Pretty amazing really.

[@TheSeeking2know]

It’s a fun challenge indeed!

[@stormpooper100]

Please have her back again. She’s so fun and talented

[@zimiani]

It's so nice to see her nail the accents right in the first take, like every drummer in the world has a common language, a connection through the instrument

[@asemutiful]

Wow, I've really enjoyed her version so much, she just did a great job with bright smile on her face, love her energy! Thank you for such good concept for drummers, everytime I watch your videos I have a goosebumps

[@capt_beefheart4159]

Domino Santantonio is the best because she’s so humble yet so enthusiastic and outstanding with her Slipknot and Mastodon interpretations, and she’s a joy to watch. She’s talented and I hope she goes far. FWIW I’m not a drummer but like to listen to music details. I discovered Drumeo a couple of days ago and have been binging ever since. It’s fascinated how different drummers are from band to band and how they influence the music. I never realized how a drummer's style affects the overall music experience and have discovered this from the “Genius” series of videos, but the the biggest shock was how Dirk Vebeuren’s interpretation of The Killers “Mr. Brightside” completely changed the experience of the song by slowing it down. Very impressive.

[@capt_beefheart4159]

Farther. I hope she goes farther.

[@josephcantu3562]

She absolutely killed that final take, she learned the song do fast. We need more of her.

[@riotkiley]

Her personality is freaking explosive and incredibly endearing, and her drum part was still epic awesome! I've been a Mastodon fan for 20 years and my band is sharing a stage with Brent's other band Fiend w/o a Face again at the end of this month in Nola! She did so damn good and what an infectious attitude! This was awesome!!

[@Semiotichazey]

Awesome, break a leg!

[@MARIUS2776]

You're shameless goodluck pal

[@riotkiley]

@@MARIUS2776 I got the name Riot for a reason!!! We had a great weekend!!

[@lukebendallmusic]

That build up into the second verse she did was awesome!!!

[@skraddypoo]

She's great. I'm not a drummer but this one seems weird to hear without drums, it could be taken any number of ways. She nailed it, it was fascinating to see her process.

[@NoTengoIdeaGuey]

Yeah I was gonna say, hearing it without drums it's like 40% ambient guitar and synth effects, only thing that you could latch onto is the main bass/guitar riff.

[@bw6138]

Her intro on the final take was cool! She did a great job on the song! ❤

[@thedarkenergist]

Domino is such a killer. I absolutely love her attitude and she totally nailed this one. She managed to lay back at the right times and push forward when it was needed. The caveman fill towards the end was sick! Love this series!

[@jasonpitts8395]

The Mastodon drummer is singing as he plays those songs. Its amazing to see live.

[@MikeSchellingMusic]

Seeing her smile on the final take was radical. She was really enjoying the groove. Rock on!!🤘🏾

[@joaoh3]

I love Domino's energy, such an amazing drummer
