[@whoalookout8578]

He has a 3 piece because if he added a 4th, he would rip a hole in space and time. God only knows what would happen if he decided to use his 2nd kick.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Let's pray he doesn't expand his drum kit

[@iancraig5415]

He has lol. Check some of his slipknot covers that use it. or his saratoga audition.

[@whoalookout8578]

@@iancraig5415 Of course I was just joking. He wouldn't have the kick there if he didn't use it.

[@dominiko.m.wrobel3055]

XD so hilarious hahaha

[@NineteenEighty-Four]

I've seen him on a 6 piece when he was younger and he uses a second pedal sometimes.

[@fastfiddler1625]

This dude is so damn fun to watch. As far as interruptions go... isn't that the point of a REACTION video? I certainly prefer that to talking over the performance.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Haha yes Richard! Talking over vid would be horrendous. And not talking... what's the point?

[@violent_bebop9687]

Yeah I know, learning about the techniques and observations is part of the fun.

[@christerolausson2702]

Sooo agree!

[@teedub127]

50 years of playing drums and I've never got close to what this guy can do. Absolutely insane!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He's amazing

[@Ghostflyer63]

[@TheEverydayManChannel]

Well you need a min of 4 hours of practice a day, lots of coffee and tobacco, and yes Coco ;-)

[@omg_wtf]

Practice more :)

[@mattydread6618]

Most people don’t have much to say about El Estepario because we are all truly in awe. EVERYONE starts out like, “ok let’s check this guy out” which quickly turns into silence followed by “WTF??” followed by a huge smile. And again I say to the world “WTF??”. Here is a human being truly showing that the impossible is possible - or at least possible for some!

[@FringeSpectre]

Yeah I had all the same reactions. Then I bought an electric drum set to start practicing.

[@Qlicky]

Agreed he's a force of nature even without his drums.

[@scottysiebert7352]

I have listened to The POT many times like many of us have. GOD mode. He delivered with extras. Well done.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup it's pretty tasty!

[@eccehomer8182]

Sometimes less is more… never thought I’d say that about Danny! 😳

[@JohnPyroDrums]

El Estepario is the example of DEDICATION and PRACTICE!!! He is a high Level drummer!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Well said John! Talent? Meh. Practice. YES!

[@TheKreuti]

Sry Bro.. You are wrong..... He is THE high Level Drummer...^^

[@johnhancock9249]

Highest level drummer. He is on the top of the drumming chain!!!!!!!

[@johnhancock9249]

My music teacher would ask me how you get to Carnegie Hall? I would reply “I don’t know”. He would then respond “practice”!!!!

[@JT-sl3ui]

He’s the best drummer on planet earth. Who’s better. Nobody

[@righty-o3585]

When the fill is so badass that all you can manage to do is laugh like a crazy person.

[@brostelio]

He turned that song into a roller coaster ride. My adrenaline is actually pumping.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah. Total different approach. Bad ASS

[@jrude1918]

48 years of playing...So, I just used all of my drum sticks as kindling and I have a few kits I'm selling. I just smile at every video he does. MASTER!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Taken from his video description. IMPORTANT! ''THIS IS NOT HOW YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS SONG, THIS WAS CREATED FOR FUN AND IM BASICALLY JAMMING ALONG THE TRACK, SAVE THE HATE FOR REAL CAUSES.'' It's a little bit like the comments I get... 'Hey you talk to much' | 'Hey you didn't talk enough' | You should do this... you should do that. Just do you. We're just hitting circles and having fun. There's no right and wrong with music/drumming. Just be a good person and learn to be comfortable with how you are and let go what you don't like. PEACE!

The man is a beast. His playing has everything for me. Groovy af. Complex and intricate at times, simple and 100% on point at others. Clearly talented to an insane degree but also clearly someone who has committed time. Wish I was in his band!! Oh, the reaction vid was killer too mate!!

[@damagecase3370]

Being used always talk in english, as a spaniard is really awesome to see how an english-speaker makes the effort to express ideas and feelings in spanish. Great video and awesome yt channel!

[@tallnotdeaf]

I really do find this guy entertaining, and that’s what it’s all about. If you’re playing chops over DC parts you’re a great drummer

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Well said Oliver!

That's what 8 hours a day gets you! This guy has WORKED to get there and it ABSOLUTELY shows! I have said for years, It's NOT about Talent, but work...here is confirmation 10x over

Playing a tool song with one tom, just to make a point! My favourite drummer at the moment! (All single takes too, just mindblowing!)

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes. Just killer Sam!

[@randyrawdingii5135]

Exactly what I said. Hours and hours of practice BUT ALSO IMPECCABLE TIMING. THAT is beautiful.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Randy!

[@AstroPixUK]

I’ve been following and watching his videos with tears in my eyes for months now. You can hear every single hit. The speed is incredible. Top top drummer.

[@ryanmac8936]

Every song he has covered always sounds so much better....absolutely awesome!!!!¡!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He's incredible Robert!

[@ryanmac8936]

If you haven't heard the pretender by the foo fighters, his cover on that is one of his best. By the way love your channel

[@colinburroughs9871]

this isn't better at all.. Gospel chops are impressive, but this tune is about a deep groove which he blasts right over. It missed the point

[@delmarhi]

he ruins the originals. listen to his recent the weeknd cover video. I can't ever listen to the original again edit.... i wont say he ruins it. it makes the original sound incomplete or just plain lazy

[@talchemy9491]

The song builds so well, it's so perfect for a drummer to have some fun with. Amazing talent and raw fucking energy! 🔥

[@educostanzo]

Being able to play a Tool song is quite an achievement. Being able to play a Tool song while putting one's own spin in it is boss level. Definitely going to check out more from this guy. Also, Andrew, your Spanish was actually pretty impressive!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Gracias! So... we all win based on your assessment! HAHA

[@rualmar]

There are a ton of channels all over the world reacting to vids and speaking in English to reach full audience. You're the first English speaker based channel I saw speaking in Spanish when addressing the original creator on Spanish, his native language. Kudos to that. El Estepario is great on more levels other than drumming, and you took the time to analyze some of them. Nice reaction/analysis vids man

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

THANK YOU!

[@callanc3925]

What makes it even cooler is that spanish is a very rarely learnt language in nz. I dont think it was offered as a language at any of my schhols, nor do i think i know anyone whos made an effort to learn it.

[@mariohache6572]

​@@callanc3925yeah man, spanish lexicum IS so deep, u can make Up rhymes with everything and there are infinite synonyms

Just discovered El Jefe, yesterday and have been on a bender watching his videos. As someone, who did just enough percussion growing up to truly appreciate good players this guy is a joy and a wonder to watch. Love it!!!

He is on another level. Loved your take on it. Especially, "it's like looking at the sun"! Cracked me up, but so true!

[@pizzababbo]

“It’s like looking at the sun” that one line pretty much sums El Este. Love your reactions man, no bullshit - just admiration for this guy.

He’s awesome. Man I love watching his performances.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Me too Tommy!

[@stevewade2535]

No doubt about it.... His playing is on a whole new level. I love it when people bring something new to the table and moves the goal posts that bit more with what is possible on a drum kit.

hmm, i mean the dude is freaking great but it's not like this was expanding into new frontiers drumming wise lol.

[@hazardeur]

@@stevewade2535 lol you're one of those guys. Never said anything about myself and that's besides the point. I don't even need to be a drummer to say that this video here doesn't show anything that pushes the envelope in drumming. It's just very tasteful and very good drumming. Put it doesn't "move what is possible on a drumkit" as you put it. Plain and simple. And like I don't need to be a chef to taste that something is good I don't need to be better than this guy to state what i stated.

😂🥁💯

[@sagittarius_a_starr]

it's like every drum lesson he's ever had, he's said: "Oh. I can make that easier..." Dude is the Victor Wooten of drums: showing us that double thumb slap bass is even possible... This incredible human--it pains a misanthrope to say--is showing us a whole new level of what is possible on the drums. Kids these days... their lead-free brains and internet nativity, with access to all the world's knowledge since birth, are learning in minutes what used to be closely guarded secrets.... remember when guitarists would turn around during solos, so that no one could see how they were making those sounds? now those techniques and sounds are broken down and spelled out by a multiplicity of teachers eager for an audience... we gave everyone in the world roughly equal access to fame (compared to old-school radio) and we are getting back in return the same results as the MMA: deadlier musicians, who can do in their sleep, what we only dreamed of...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

he said in a video he totally overplays but only cause he likes it and finds it fun to play. i personally love it and his style - kinda reminds me how jordan rudess overplays piano at parts - i suppose it's either love it or hate it

-whispering quietly - i agree dude...love his style but his fills all kind of fall into one sound...can't deny his skill and passion though!!
