His snare has the sound I tell my snare not to worry about.

[@Amehdion]

I love how this guy makes a snare, tom, and kick sound like a 12 piece set. Talk about using what you got to the max.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

[@evyatarhadar8867]

His technique is perfect. He’s spent so many hours perfecting his craft it's become so easy to him.

Countless hours everyday for years. Hes a robot

[@passion4drums]

I agree, his Spanish is very good

[@Brittjones]

He put out a video entitled “Talent is a lie” it was legitimately inspiring to watch...this didn’t happen without practice...all bs aside it’s all about putting in the work...

[@MrEnsiferum77]

Actually the fills in the songs are not hard overall... it's one of the easier songs from MP... the problem is, when u watch someone watching drumming looks like wow this is hard, but overall the fills are pretty simple and repeating in different songs over and over...

[@thefourshowflip]

Not to forget that all his videos are one single shot…no cuts or anything. I’m sure he takes several attempts to nail these but still…MAD respect for his skills and the astounding level of effort he no doubt put into his drumming

[@BowlingNG]

ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO puts small weight plates on his snare and floor tom to give it an extremely phat and and popping sound. It dampens all the snare ping from the head being cranked, but gets rid of that overbearing resignation. And makes the floor tom sound like a kick drum, but tuned up a bit for those mid pitched tom tones. He's fucking phenomenal.

[@chrisoakleyfx]

Also increases the rebound which helps him get the super precise snare rolls (especially for his one handed videos!) Old comment I realise, but ressurecting it anyway haha :)

[@whizkaqueefa1976]

You can also get the same kick drum sounding toms by finding that pingy frequencies and scooping them out with an eq. If you don’t have weights and want the same effect. Personally as a drummer I’ve found putting clothes, wallet, anything with some real weight to it will have that dampened sound.

[@kasperbj]

How's there weight on floor tom ?

[@RandallAcquistapace-my4tr]

I am a true professional Drummer. Love speed. This gentleman has very fast foot speed. This is a unique and once you establish the foot speed with hand speed, this man is the best. I grew up playing Buddy Rich. The next phase is the quick move around your Tom's, floor Tom's is crucial. I would love to see him with at least a 6 piece ( two floor toms). He is still the best coordinated. I've seen others with extreme hand speed on snare. Corp drummers are absolute. I cannot believe he can't read music and has this gift. Let's continue to support El Estepario Siberiano and enjoy a God given talent! Thanks Estepario

[@barrimotriz]

Hes an animal! So much passion for the craft. Great reaction. 👍 cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@meeserbaker]

I encourage everyone to get your set as minimalistic as possible, try the one floor tom and reeeeally focus on your dynamics and having it minimal will force you to be creative. Going ppmp(quiet to loud af down to kinda quiet) on that floor tom is what makes it sound like a full set. Dynamics make a world of difference. Ive been doing it and its been, well 1. Hella fun, and 2. Its forcing me to play fills with my ears not my hands which is arguably more important than speed. This guy put years of work into his craft dont just hammer away lmao he may be fast but hes still melodious

[@NikkLiberos]

As a Spaniard, the memes interspersed during the first 40 seconds of the video are HILARIOUS

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

JAJA Nick! Glad you liked it :)

[@abztract1]

Profe, otro video sensacional! In my opinion, El Estepario Siberiano is one of those "Once in a Lifetime" type of drummer and I really really really hope he gets the opportunities and breaks that will give him the notoriety he deserves. A truly world class drummer is what he is. 🤘🤘👍

[@summatsnotright]

Hey Andrew, just wanted to say that I watch your videos more than other reactions BECAUSE you actually stop and analyse parts that strike you as interesting. Your passion and joy for the instrument and the craft shines through and makes your videos a worthwhile watch...also, Ross Kemp on Drums.

[@billwhitman4125]

He did a video called Mike Portnoy wrote the best drum parts ever. He did a reaction to Portnoy in his basement studio. Estepario would listen to a part...talk about it, then play it. The premise of why he loves Portnoy besides his chops was because he said he met a chick that wasn't giving it up. So he made a deal ...if he learned Dance of Eternity she would indulge . Obviously he learned it. Portnoy then jumps on in the comments and gave El Estepario a lot of praise and respect. Then Mike said he was glad he helped Estepario get laid.

[@Jd0t-plays]

First of all holy hell!! WOW! second , of all. I'm guessing the floor Tom sound he had going there has something to do with the fact that he some times used it kind of as a kick drum , seems like he can blend that sound to serve kick/floor purpose

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

😂😂😂

[@russellzauner]

if you watch his "day in a life" video you can see that he's in a double walled room. It's a dead giveaway that this is artist's space (like The Music Bank for Alice in Chains, etc) or something he built himself but when you see someone open two doors and one of them is *T H I C C* then you have got not security but isolation. Also he uses the Yamaha mic and dials it way down on his set with mutes and his insane control of dynamics. I watched a video on setting up the mic he uses and it's pretty wild. Worth every penny to buy up to that mic if you are going to do any amount of drum videos. You can stuff your kit full of pillows and it will still sound pretty good dialed in on the mic and it's accompanying processing unit.

[@Easypeck]

@@russellzauner I'm debating getting that yamaha, but I use 2 bass drums, so how would that work?

i never liked dream theater but i can appreciate the technical aspect of it.this drummer is the most original drummer ive heard in a long time. i know he makes a 3 piece sound like a 5 piece but i wish he would add another drum or two because his fills start sounding repetitious even though they are incredible. saying all this this guy is something very special.

[@peterclifford8305]

I thought I played drums, until I saw this guy play!

[@chadm7737]

He always looks relaxed like he's taking a stroll in the park - not pushing the limit at all. You mention his sound - I can't find it now, but he had a vid that went through his equipment and for heads he said he just used the stock heads because new ones cost money so why not play the ones that were on the drum when he got it - they weren't broke. That was kind of his thought on equipment - use what you have and practice! From playing highly technical shit, a straight forward back beat, a bosa nova or a cover a Super Mario - it's crazy good stuff.

[@Clintamis]

My takeaway is that you don’t need that complicated of a kit to sound incredible, DT’s drummers use these big kits all the time, and this guy had a few extra symbols and a floor Tom and sounded just as good as Mike Portnoy (with a very unique style, loved it!)

[@kevinkulp2187]

Portnoy wrote it. That’s the hard part.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Gear is always irrelevant

[@daverodb]

I believe you lose some of the details that a bigger gear provides. It´s a great performance, its the visión of the performer but nevertheless, with the big set you can enrich the sounds and the composition of the song

About the metallic sound - he has a big plastic rim over the skin of the drum (like 7-10 cm wide) which is usually put on snares to get the dry-clap sound. You can see it in the shoot, the white thing and his skin is really lose to mimic the bass drum sound so it resonates with the plastic.

metallic floor tom sound is unique to yamaha all in one mic ea10? I cant remember the model number. Its in the other videos he put out around this time. Plus, he is fond of putting a weight on the floor tom as well as the snare.

[@TheMike23md]

I feel like he tunes the snare high to removed any overtones and uses some sort of dampener to help. It looks like the head is an Evans red hydraulic which adds dampenining too. I prefer a little overtone just to add character, same with the floor tom so have some low punch and body, but this works for him and he does absolutely amazing technique with timing and not trailing on a click or fighting with it.
