He's the guy your snare tells you not to worry about

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]

100%!

[@mattthespyd3r969]

The answer is dynamics

[@evyatarhadar8867]

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

[@quantumxrisk3481]

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

[@billyrice1056]

I want to see Mike Portnoy’s reaction to the cover 🤣🤣🤣

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

[@lucasmarrochi]

"Holy shit @elstepariosiberiano This is insane! Haven't heard that one in years! Amazing job 🔥👏🏻❤🙌"

[@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 ?

I wanna be this guy when I grow up and I'm already over 40

[@blakeu8547]

Lol he put a cymbal on the floor tom and is smashing on that

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Good god

[@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

[@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.

[@davidbell2336]

Thanks again my guy! This video is one of his "older" videos, and I use that term loosely as its only 8 months old but super early into the Explosion of his channel. Ive never discovered a Drummer so fascinating to watch, he's like crack but a healthy version

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Bro...

[@NikkLiberos]

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

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

JAJA Nick! Glad you liked it :)

[@donnypatoine4475]

Such a great drummer you can tell he how hard he's worked to get there. Ledgend

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100% hard work Donny

[@Jath2112]

Not only is he a massive inspiration in terms of playing...the value of practice, taking your art seriously... he reminds me that the whole point is to Be Happy. The joy in his playing... we can all learn something about having a good life simply by watching him

[@tscott6843]

Because of the other video you did on El Estapario, you have me looking at his stick fulcrums. Everything you point out about him is spot on. He is a true talent. Props for bringing him to your audience. He deserves the attention.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for watching

[@bigshev8404]

This dude can play so many crazy songs with only 1 hand! He Is a master!

[@Matithyahu]

"Oh, God, I need to practice." That's probably what every single drummer says after watching his videos. If they're being honest with themselves, lol. El Estepario is an inspiration. I totally get the "all my drumming aspirations just went out the window," lol. Thanks for sharing!

El Estepario is a constant joy to watch

[@mtxrules]

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

[@brandonhaywood426]

Is there anything this guy can't do on the kit?! He's definitely on a level of his own.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Unreal Brandon

[@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. 🤘🤘👍

[@RoTX1836]

Rooney if anyone complains about you stopping it a lot, then they need to click the actual video of this guy and watch it. You do breakdown videos. You cannot possibly breakdown a guy like this without stopping it a bunch. Keep it up. I love your videos. Siberiano is a heavyweight man. Amazing.

[@jjoao32]

I love the clock on the wall detail, like we needed a clock to know he did this without cuts ... Still, appreciate it :)

[@That-Truck-Guy22]

Definitely the most unique sound I've heard on a kit in a while...this guy is flawless! Loved every second of it 👌

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Too good!

[@comfortinagony]

Again, amazing!!!! These drummers are all using HUGE kits! Huge! 3 piece kit, is insanity. 25+ years, singing, writing, playing, and have never had a drummer remotely close to this!!!

[@tacofortgens3471]

This guy drums so smooth and with ease.. I've never ever seen a drummer play like this

[@stevewade2535]

Love your reactions to him.... El Estepario without doubt brings a whole different take as to what is possible on a small kit. His skills are truly unbelievable

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Agree Steve

[@lepoloo]

This Estepario is one of the very bests I've ever heard!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Agree

[@itcheebeard]

The VERY first thought I had was "what snare and how is he tuning it?!". The tone of that thing is what I would dream of back in my death metal drumming days. Deffo been inspired to pick up the sticks again

[@tomassvitorka]

I feel so conflicted about whether I'd want to be his neighbour!!!!

[@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?

[@drzskullblastbeatnik3270]

@@Easypeck Personally, (budget permitting) I'd run one for each, put high pass on one channel, low on the other, each mic would be dual-left/dual-right.

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

This drummer is in monster territory and quite hilarious. There is another vid of him doing some awesome Spanish music while having a smoke. The 2 lb weight on the snare is just crazy, especially if you hit it with your stick in full down stroke.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He's a proper character

[@pashaoppets]

I freakin love the way sometimes this guy looking at you and it was like “ye, look at me, you know im cool, and you are not”

[@SauceBoss69]

I can't stop thinking about that Van Damme/Bolo two-piece band...

[@TheDonmayo]

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.

[@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.
