DRUMMER REACTS El Estepario Siberiano HOT FOR TEACHER | VAN HALEN - DRUM COVER

[@tedcrocker6283]

You know what's so cool about watching you react to his videos is that I've heard your drumming and you're amazing, and to see someone as gifted as yourself watching someone else who is smashing it, while celebrating his skill level is absolutely awesome. Fantastic energy man.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Thank you very much

[@mikeymike1383]

He has to be one of the best drummers ever. His muscle memory is so insane. He makes it look so damn easy.

[@phimuskapsi]

The skill he has with percussive dynamics is a highlight here. While he gets everything hard and clean most of the time, he can make any sound he wants at any time. Extremely well rounded.

[@KristinP-zi2dj]

I am always in awe of El Estepario's kick arse drum skills!

[@bamaverick8740]

His best video yet! 1984 in Detroit as a senior in high school, the great days of rock! I grew up at a great time in music!!

[@KitWriter]

EES is literally the apex drummer and he hasn’t even come close to hitting his peak ability. Imagine watching his videos in 2037, when he has learned DRUM BENDING and TEMPORAL MANIPULATION abilities. 🤘 Never stop playing, Gorge!!

[@DavidGSmith-ft7vg]

I saw a Rick Beato snippet on El Estepario late last year. I checked him out (& I’m glad I did!). Great reactions, btw.

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

Before the music starts, I first heard of EES by a reaction video I saw a few months ago. Showed up on my page feed by accident, I guess. That video was you, reviewing Everybody Dance. Thank you, now I'm addicted to the great one, EES!

[@juanignacio6679]

El Estepario Siberiano - BLINDING LIGHTS is insane

[@JarkkoToivonen]

Very true, but it’s also the best Groove Fathers drumming ever 😊

[@ThePrivateer1]

I first heard Hot For Teacher when it was released in 1984, I was 14 years old!

[@Azuma59]

Wait! Where is the Blinding Lights reaction? 😏

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Patience grasshopper I am filming tonight LIVE ON twitch in about an hour

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

​@@OldSkuleNerd, I'm not a drummer but I can hear if it's on the beat etc. This performance is precision like I've never heard. Every strike was EXACTLY on the beat. Speed, with accuracy, EES says hold my beer. He also does something ridiculous, that fill, (drummer's comments) at 2:31 is not even rushed. He does a lot of things to show what can be done by a human. Ok, only EES can pull off this performance.

[@jefferylebeau9522]

I also vote for blinding lights! Also, his Paramore Aint It Fun cover is loaded with cowbell i love it!

[@NicoPlayz41217]

YEAH!!! GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@welcometothewraith1]

I've been following El Estepario since he had like 90k followers and was doing double bass with the floor tom and KNEW he was something special. That's back when he didn't speak English very well. Watching him go from that to where he is now is such an inspiration. First he made me want to quit drums, but then after awhile I found he drove me to practice harder and be better.

[@digthis18]

ive been watchin him since around the end of his single pedal sounds like double bass videos and i agree i thought the same about him then haha

[@AnthonyCarrierYouTube]

I was on a date in 1999 watching varsity blues…and we all know the scene …. 10!!!!! Not my first time hearing but that’s the time that sticks out the most

[@randywissler9923]

Its still amazing how after all these years people dont belive that the first like 7 seconds of the intro is actually Eddies Lamborghini Miura exhaust.

[@papakingdongakayobabysdaddy]

That’s because that simply isn’t true.

[@randywissler9923]

@@papakingdongakayobabysdaddy but it is. Ted Templeman, their producer for everything through atleast 1984, even admitted it in his book.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

It’s not if it was That would be the most OUT OF TIME LAMBO EVER MADE LOL

[@oscarbaezsoria1650]

Wrong. The Miura was used in Panama, not here. This groove was made to MIMIC a Harleys exhaust.

[@randywissler9923]

@@oscarbaezsoria1650 you know what, you are correct. Always get those 2 mixed up. Hey, lot of left handed cigarettes back in the day. Memories tend to get blurry over the years. Lol

[@dfriz112]

I subscribe to El Es back in 2019 when I saw his single pedal cover of Dream Theater. Then Andrew Mooney started reaction videos about a year or so later.

[@slickman5969]

never heard hot for teacher, and i heard el estapario during covid and was immediately hooked

[@waynesbutler7834]

With out reading all the comments i assume most are feeling the same right now but yes this man has singlehandedly quite literally and sometimes doubly changed the face of drumming . The saddest part of this performance is Eddy is not around to listen to it . Also a Rush fan too , live outside of Toronto and seen them at the Maple leaf Gardens many times , so sad about Neal , as a drummer you can appreciate his talent , A life of tragedy , lost his daughter in a car accident , wife dies two years later from cancer , remarries has another daughter now he is gone , a giant whole left in the drumming world only he could fill .

[@anthonycole7555]

Saw Premier on MTV, Mind Blown at 10yrs old

[@drunvert]

Watching him at the end in perfect time with the song. Just looked freaking amazing

[@harvestblades]

Just watched the original & hilarious it shows you upload within the same hour. Legit Groovefather fan boy. I lost a good bit of hearing to that drum intro back in the 80s after throwing on my aunts quality over ear headphones on my cassette Walkman. Didn't realize I had the volume cranked as I was supposed to be going to bed, lights were off & that Harley Shovelhead thumping kicked in & had my ears ringing. Scared the crap out of me, but of course I didn't turn it down! Couldn't tell you the first time I heard Hot For Teacher as I was raised on this stuff so likely Jan '84 as I would have been six & my parents in their early 20s.

[@erikv8114]

Not gonna lie, as soon as I saw the original video posted, I immediately wondered how long till you did a reaction video. You were the first suggested video when I scrolled down and got excited

[@JmanRx81]

Hot For Teacher is my favorite VH song for this very reason! 🔥🔥🔥

[@CocoDave37]

1st time I heard it, we were driving x-country NYC to Cali June 1985

[@mattb5370]

All respect to AVH, one of the best and most underrated drummers of all time. Now, this cat here is just nuts. He has literally 15 fewer pieces than AVH did on his kit. Insanity.

[@communitycollegegenius9684]

Diamond Dave is the real talent.

[@Gozer722-or3sm]

Please do his "Blinding Lights" cover... most recent one, that cover is just insane.

[@sergiovalladares5004]

Yeah! DO that one!!! PLEASE!

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Recorded it last night live on twitch

[@timmannchicken]

It is interesting for drum covers, it was pretty tame in terms of what we are used to with from Mr. Siberiano. He paid of a lot respects to the original.

[@spdcrzy]

And it shows you JUST HOW HARD the original song is when he puts barely any embellishment into this, compared to the insanity he usually pulls off lol.

[@perea9405]

Thank you so much for your appreciation for el estepario cause it makes me feel unbelivably insane pride for a spaniard who I do not know at all, but it just makes me real happyness and fills my heart, with the good stuff 🤘🏻🙌🏻❤️

[@jas1049]

You are right to be proud of him on behalf of Spain. He is astonishing. I literally cannot get enough of what he does. Such skill and artistry. And a really admirable guy to boot. All the best from Ireland 👍🇮🇪

[@jbearmike9678]

First time I heard 3:26 HFT I was like 5 or 6. Bout the same time my Dad bought my first drum kit. This song and video are part of me and my life.

[@MattCanev419]

Christmas in September!

[@businesscatlimbo]

First time I heard Hot For Teacher (and mind you, I'm only 28) was on my way to school with my mom. She's also a metalhead and the song came on the radio. Think I was about 14 or 15 maybe and I thought it was an actual sample of a motorcycle at first. Was immediately hooked on the song and to this day I still think Alex Van Halen is one of the most underrated drummers. And the first video I watched of EES was his single pedal Slipknot cover of the song Eyeless like 3 years ago. Been a fan ever since.

[@ieatfood88]

It actually is an exhaust in the original song.

[@Spinlayer]

BLINDING LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yarbafett]

Love this guy. Great react.

[@LV426CX1]

Found the hoodie! 😂. Great reaction!

[@caballomorisco]

He improves everything he touches

[@joenorsworthy]

This is a quick review! Nice. I just listened to this intro, and it was unreal. Enjoy your reviews!

[@joenorsworthy]

PS I was in my early 20s when this song was released by VH, so I heard it the day it played on the radio.

[@AlphaDad]

I was a kid at an ECW wrestling match in Philly and I heard the tom groove and asked my cousin if it was a motorcycle engine lol

[@Fossilsunleashed]

always reminded me of a tubed out engine running

[@AndreasLoosli]

Die Version von ihm finde ich besonders geil. Das problem ist, wenn du 2-3 mal Estepario gehört hast, hören sich die orginale langweilig an.

[@edwardpadilla3523]

Hot for THE teacher????😂🗣️yea that’s not tha song title🤣🗣️”hot for teacher”😎

[@perea9405]

Ojalá nunca nos encontremos! Porke me seria imposible reprimirme la necesidad de hacerte realmente entender, la enorme felicidad que me das con tu arte! Gracias de todo corazon y toda l felicidad del mundo!! Pd: y mi dinerillo tambien! Pero despues ke pague a hacienda en noviembre, no por rico, sino por ignorante!!😅 🤘🏻🙌🏻❤️

[@tompitt7167]

Look at his stick grip on ride cymbal hand from 3:10 in the original video

[@mavenfrankeus7287]

This is the first time I've ever heard this song.

[@jmobbinfoo4838]

"Hot for the teacher" 🤔 Word up

[@diverdave4056]

the sound was from Eddies LAMBO ! he has said it on a few interviews .... Look it up if you fail to believe me

[@grosenberg68]

Great reaction, btw....the drum intro of HFT isn't a motorcycle, it's the exhaust of Eddie's Lambo

[@elizabethb3769]

I was was a freshman in high school when this song came out lol

[@griffm5]

I want the HOODIE NOW

[@jeremycole6435]

BLINDING LIGHTS!!

[@jrude1918]

It's actually a dragster exhaust in the intro.

[@jasonjohnlejano8377]

Have you seen the Blinding lights cover of El Estepario

[@tedcrocker6283]

I'm not a drummer, but I've always been a fan of great drumming and though I couldn't tell what he was adding exactly, it sounded extremely busy compared to the original in a lot of spots.

[@gpflorida1694]

Guys, I am I the only one who noticed the floor Tom on his right is actually a vertical bass drum.

[@jasonlambert4718]

Would be awesome to see him cover Neil Peart!!!

[@beatstyk]

I think the intro was originally the exhaust of his Ferrari

[@fredbarnes2600]

Thanks!

[@OldSkuleNerd]

FRED!!!!

[@Pikwhip]

Hot for "the" teacher 😂

[@dreamsdotcomdarek2310]

wow . its first time i hear this song , sorry my first thought was .....whats jazz lol thx

[@egocelatrixcelatrix2514]

Wow

[@BryantAvant]

Every once in a while his fills through him slightly off time but it’s still incredible and he reels it back in.

[@fuelflownormal]

Close to the original because AVH is just that good!

[@daymay-o2g]

check early Slipknot vibe Omerta - Antiamorous (feat. JOHNNASCUS) bassist wrote gimme choco for Babymetal The Mad Capsule Markets - Good Girl PassCode - FLAVOR OF BLUE wrote a song for Lil Uzi Vert Bring me the Horizon Babymetal collab Paledusk - BLACK ICE (Official Music Video)

[@DecapitatedPlaythings]

I haven't seen your daughter in a while, is she okay? Will she be returning to the channel? You two are fun together..

[@MorellioBenoir]

Oh yes.

[@montyleblanc4672]

Dude.....love your stuff......great reviews.......but its Hot For Teacher......not The Teacher 🙃

[@OldSkuleNerd]

I know the true name of the song… BUT my Teacher gave me BONUS POINTS for proper grammar….

[@76jasonl]

I think he has the fastest hands and is one of the best drummers in the world. BUT….. sometimes I think he does a little too much in his covers. This one, however, he keeps close enough to the original but adds the exact right amount to make this his best cover ever.

[@lorirathburn-hutchens6043]

The toms sound like a Harley Davidson

[@roneldridge7991]

Funny shit I watched hot for teacher Van Halen thought about him doing it at bam he did like next day.

[@vilar6986]

A reaction to a video posted half an hour before seems a little off.

[@SicRabbit]

1984

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

Hot for the teacher? Letting out some teenage regret there Skule? 😂😂jk, jk... As far as first time hearing it i cant recall, but i do know my dad went through 3 cassettes of this album LOL. And the first reel i saw of El Estepario Siberiano was his Megadeth cover 🤯🤯

[@fundymentalism]

Hot for .. the .... teacher. No. No. Have you been saying this wrong for 40 years?

[@henline.robert]

Have you watched him do triple peddles

[@frankiuvara8838]

1984 if I'm right

[@mwharris79able]

Thought it was a Ferrari exhaust?

[@lukeoforcas]

His name will be become a verb. Like sriracha or google ~This is the way~

[@Tbone.357]

Hot for teacher, not hot for the teacher. 🙄

[@tomsteinmetz5965]

1990 and 2023

[@mdfield1]

It’s NOT “hot for THE teacher” nor is it “hot for A teacher”. It’s just “HOT FOR TEACHER”!!!

You definitely should watch Black Sabbaths live performance of War Pigs live in Paris! Bill Ward is jaw dropping

Somebody needs to lock this guy up, he's a mass murderer at this point. I have personally witnessed this man murder more tracks than I can count.

Alex Couldn't Do It ...Then Or Now..!

[@piekcruson993]

That hoody is rockin'.

[@LeviathanWebWorks]

He's still on point, but I think the tom, or the kick (I lean towards the kick) is... off or something. Think the rumble was lost. Lost the Harley sound in the start. *cries* His short he did a few weeks ago was so spot on I got chills.

[@buzzzkilll80]

Hot for "the" teacher?

[@MAJ0RMEL0DY]

I think I’m one of a few people that don’t marvel at this guys playing. He’s clearly got technique for days… but I definitely would rate Groove and placement over technique everyday, Always feel like this is the drumming equivalent to hamming up the national anthem to much.

[@timothyslaughter476]

Or the song i call TILF!!!

[@RDL1968]

Hot for Teacher is A hybrid rudiment called: herta

[@3_7s777]

So......what's this songs name again?😂

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Hot for your mom
