Drum Teacher Reacts: MARIO DUPLANTIER Drum Solo 2020 "MINOTAUR"

[@introduxium]

I think the custom cymbal is a "Durbar anti-slip steel floor plate" that he has made into a cymbal. Sounds like steel when he hits it, and the pattern on the top is the same.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Wow! Haha awesome 🥁💯👍

[@aannurag]

It is!

[@blackcrown260]

That man is clearly not Mario. He’s wearing a shirt.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

😂👌

[@sreneethomas]

🤣 that’s what I said

[@osianjones3694]

What shirt? He doesn’t even have a torso

[@caseyrogers573]

This is one of the most musical drum solos I’ve ever heard

[@genefidz2426]

Yeh man, gotta agree there.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Casey! Really top notch stuff 🥁💯👌

[@FremontMetalHead]

You and Andrew need to check out "Todd Sucherman Thanks Mr Smith" vid, that is THE most musical drum solo i've ever heard.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

@@FremontMetalHead I'll get to it!

[@jimmyh2100]

Hes one of the best drummers in the game. Theres so many songs from gojira. Hes a absolute beast

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Agree Jim!

[@JoshBratton]

There's a new solo of his called "Cyclone". Pretty awesome.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Josh!

[@ianj5222]

I just found your channel and immediately went looking for a reaction to Mario. This man is in another category.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Ian!

[@goonercestlavie]

Belle réaction. Your use of memes is entertaining.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

😂thank you!

thank you for not stopping with the memes, great reaction. ill always keep on suggesting Dan Presland of Ne Obliviscaris what he does is extreme but tame at the same time!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Kareem! 🥁🙏

[@kourgon666]

Yep, we need an Intra Venus or And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoskope reaction from Andrew!!

[@JoshBratton]

Now, he's got a new solo called "Movement". I think fundamentally it's his best.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Did it!

[@waderichardson3342]

Mario , Drums , Coffee , and your reactions get me going in the morning !! Keep up the great work you do !!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Wade! 🥁👍

[@maureenwagg5305]

Groovy. That was my takeaway and I'm no drummer. I know what I like. I like funky and groovy. He's all of that and much much more. Best drummer I've heard in a long long time.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Groovy for sure

[@hughneutron5303]

in terms of the cymbal, i think mario just had a thick piece of diamond plate steel cut in a circle. it's a nice bell sound. i love that mega bell ride too!

[@waltgilbert]

Exactly that.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

AMAZING! Love it! Thanks for the info :)

[@bunnypastor8252]

The Gojira's brothers are unbelievable.

[@scosstard3542]

Very groovy, musical solo, that at points turns into powerful madness. Really like it. Mario is definitely one of the most singular metal drummer out there. I know Mario for being a very powerful drummer (for me he is kind of the John Bonham of technical metal drummers), but here we can also definitely here a lot of finesse and mastery. I loved the comparison with Baard Kolstad, when it comes to completely being immersed in what they are playing :)

[@SavagePumpkin]

I really love the content of your channel, greetings from Chile!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hola Guille!

[@sammer28]

The whole band is just unreal.

[@brendanmcg8566]

This guy gets the tastiest bell sounds, also that new cymbal thing? is amazing I want one.

Love it Brendan

I love Mario. This solo keeps bringing Carl Palmer to mind.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Nice Eric!!!

[@lautrichien4767]

Very beautiful instruments for a great drummer! The rhythm breathes African rhythms, complex, full of nuances and liveliness, conducive to entering in trance ...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Well said!

[@krenwregget7667]

I'm pretty sure Mario does indeed play a limited edition bubinga Starclassic kit along with a bell brass snare. His drum sounds are always incredible and so is his playing.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Sure does Kren. Love his playing. Power and passion!

[@tattoedfrk]

I was Mario’s drumtech for about a year, plays solid every night and if you can believe he likes his toms “tuned” finger tight as in barely any tension on the hoops.. sounded like crap without a mic but once they went into the PA they always sounded huge.. Everyone in the band are stand up good guys and would do anything for anyone!

[@genefidz2426]

Bit of background info about this drum vid for everyone..... “”In the beginning there was nothing but an empty black void. Then the “supreme entity” who for unknown reasons was in charge of literally nothing got bored as shit & decided his empty black void sucked hard. So he spoke the Drum Kit into existence, & he separated this Kit from the void. He was stoked with the kit & so he knocked off. That was the 1st day, even tho the void was technically more like night. Then on the 2nd day the supreme entity decided the Drum Kit was cool & all but he hadn’t factored in his own lack of physical form necessary to utilise his own creation. He went to facepalm, but yknow, no face, no palm.... Supreme being had a eureka moment and spoke a floating face into existence & he named this face Mario. Then he created palms. The Mario face said wtf & explained to supreme being how he’d fucked up & put him straight about fingers wrists arms elbows etc. Apologising, he fixed the issue. Then Mario face demanded the creation of Drumsticks & eye rolled in disappointment at supreme being not really living up to the hype. Mario face called it there for day 2. Supreme being, his authority fading fast, went along with that, fearful of losing any more respect than he had already. On Day 3, Mario face said to supreme being “look bro, cheers for creating the Drum Kit & my face ok, but you can go now, I got this. I’m about to create Time for you and if you try to help it’ll come out completely fucked & I’ll be forced to track your existential ass down & beat you to death with your own drumstick creations which BTW I had to explain to you as well a my arms, you fool. Now fuck off ok, it’s just easier if I take it from here. Just hit play for me on your way out.””” The rest you all know from the vid....

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Wow! 🥁💯🤜

[@Whosagoodboi]

I love how you mentioned the similarly in feel with Baard Kolstad

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

That small symbol reminds me of my dad who used skill saw blades as part of his drum set. They sound a bit like that but more flat, and they looked gnarly. My dad was also a carpenter lol.

[@MegaMrDT]

Dig your reactions Andrew. I'd be stoked to see you react to the drumming of Yoni Madar/Johnny Mathar. I've been drumming for ~12 years and I've never seen someone with such a combination of skill and musicality. Dude mastered keyboard, right AND left-handed guitar in order to improve his drumming. I swear there isn't a drummer in the world that couldn't learn something new from him. Cheers

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

THANKS!

[@rblew131]

I'm pretty sure that odd cymbal is just a piece of diamond-plate aluminum sheet. I used those in my indoor drumline days.

Nice Robert! Thanks for the info
