DRUMMER REACTS El Estepario Siberiano NUMB - LINKIN PARK DRUM COVER

[@gregpickett8816]

I will die on this hill, Estepario is head and shoulders above every other drummer on the planet right now. He is changing the perception of live vs programmed drums in real time and it is a fucking privilege to be witnessing his rise.

[@rudeboyjim2684]

What makes you feel he’s better than Eric Harland or Bill Stewart?

[@Snskch3]

It’s true. I just saw him 2 days ago and from what I have seen he is the most talented and innovative drummer I have seen.

[@Swarley218]

@@rudeboyjim2684 They're good, really good, but Estepario has some crazy precision. Dude basically goes deep meditative when he plays and becomes the drums

[@courtlandyoung7405]

Yes man ! Well said . This guy is just the best I’ve ever heard.

[@GlennChurchill-i1i]

This drummer has put every single drummer on notice. A game changer.... the kind of talent that influences generations!

[@rebel4466]

I think he "just" spends most of the day playing and trying stuff out. Playing in a successful band is limiting. You're on tour, playing the same songs over and over again, traveling and all that. Fans want you to keep playing a certain style, the other band members have their influence etc. Of course talent takes a part in it. Some people will never get to his level, but it's mostly just extremely hard work. That's the good thing about social media. Sometimes people can just make money through pure skill. He can keep his passion going and get rich doing it

[@arivatanen2362]

No kidding. My 9 year old watches every Estepario video and then goes and practices... luckily he doesn't copy his language! Yet.

[@turbophat]

Lifelong drummer here. It's the posture coupled with the complete and total efficiency of movement for me. That amount of power with zero wasted energy blows my mind.

[@flutte1974]

Yea, this guy is so relaxed and smooth in his movements. Neil Peart had to take classes with Peter Erskine to loosen up, but this guy seems to have it just naturally. Which, of course, is due to him doing his 10.000 hours of practicing with the single goal of getting better.

[@losollosol]

Buen aporte!! Gran trabajo!

[@geoffburton822]

I totally agree. Look how centred his trunk remains. Totally conscious.

[@gregoryburne5251]

I’ll take your word for it. As a non drummer, it blows me in half. It’s just ridiculously good.

[@harvestblades]

I'm not a drummer (always wanted to), but always gmfavored great drummers, & while I love drummers that show their energy & passion, yet his efficacy & calmness on highly technical pieces is just beautiful to watch. I appreciate it on some videos where he wipes his brow afterwards just so we know he is human.

[@angyles1]

I'm not a drummer but somehow gotten sucked into a drumming vortex in my youtube feed. Even From the first video of this guy that popped up on my screen, I could tell a dramatic difference between him and every other drummer, not because of all his fancy tricks but because every single sound is clean and precise. Even without watching, it just sounds so different. You hear every individual sound. Amazing.

[@arendmelby5106]

Glad I didn't spend 15 minutes trying (and failing) to say what you did, exactly!

this dude and chad smith doing 30 seconds to Mars. I watch daily now. have you seen the chad smith video?

[@jaymallo7859]

I haven’t stopped watching him play the drums for like 4 days straight now.. I normally hate when a classic song is done differently and even if the original band is the one doing the song different but what he adds to all these iconic classic songs is absolutely amazing…I haven’t heard a version he does that I didn’t like better than the original… the guy is outstanding! He has a very humble likable personality too.

[@mikesed860]

Not only is he technically sound but his muscle memory is incredible, he does it with his eyes closed and flips his sticks and catches them also with his eyes closed.

[@ProtusMose]

I'd love to hear ES' input on how much of it is muscle memory versus sheer concentration. You see a lot of youtube drummers cheesing for the camera and stuff, but he's completely zoned into the groove.

[@NetVicious]

Muscle memory?, or practice time? Estepario said in several interviews he practises drums 8h/day

[@RyanTravelball]

​@NetVicious so yes, practice is the reason of muscle memory. He teach himself muscle memory by practice. This apply to anything you do in life including athletes

[@daviddark2058]

You know how muscle memory works right?​@@NetVicious

[@beecee660]

I caught that right off the bat, he is insane. I played for 23 years and Estepario is an absolute drum GOD and maybe the absolute BEST tech drummer I've ever seen, hands down. Every video I watch with this guy amazes me more and more.

[@randya322]

I'm not even a drummer and this guy gives me chills with how good he is!

Estepario is a beautiful example of unconflicted action, flow state, the kind of consciousness high level martial artists exhibit....when you're in that relaxed, coherent, state apparently super human feats just happen... yes, it requires endless practice, but also a mind state of flow.....

[@WereMike]

You know you are witnessing greatness when someone performs something incredibly technical and difficult yet it appears effortless and smooth. I may be showing my age, but if you've seen Gene Kelly dancing, he makes it looks as smooth and easy as walking. Siberiano is just floating in the zone making it look easy when it most certainly is not.

[@miquelmarti6537]

This guy studies drumming 8h a day. That's the secret of his sucess. About 5 years ago he decided to really focus on studying and transformed from simply good to one of the best. Talent alone doesn't go long if you don't have the dedication.

[@dirkcz9987]

Thank you. It’s actually annoying how many people call others simply talented when in fact there are mostly thousands and thousands of hours of hard work and failure behind such amazing skills.

[@joelbuff3254]

Drummer for 30 years here. Your boy practices technique so much that he can maintain his relaxed composure through the hardest parts. As a drummer yourself you know the sweet sound of pure, sure confidence. Myself- my sure footed confidence ends at a level far, far below that of the great one, el Estepario.

[@dominikfrohlich6253]

It’s with all perfection: When you witness it, it blows you away not just by awe but also by how virtuosity makes it look so easy. This guy is godlike.

[@martianshoes]

The most FLUENT drummer I’ve ever encountered. I’ve seen Peart, Moon, Birch and a hundred others, live. Played drums briefly myself, had a good paradiddle. EES is just the drummer that drummers daydream of being. Linguistic.

[@jamisbillson4872]

Best drummer I’ve ever seen in fifty years of drumming. Rich, Krupa, Pocaro, Perkins, Freese, Rubin…not a touch on El Estapario. Best drummer in history by some distance. He’s astonishing.

[@beestoe993]

Dude is the Bruce Lee of the Drum kit. His skill is clearly driven by a unique passion. I don't expect others to rise to his level anytime soon.

[@KotrokoranaMavokely]

The Siberian Steppario itself is a drum Kratos itself a drum solo, a genius, a god of drums. The guy plays everything and a Tesla donates drummers of the world . Another guy who plays everything and Jeff Porcaro, is an Einstein a drum Gambit, now imagine these two in a duet of drum solos playing the musical classics of all the musical genres of the world of course with an orchestra accompaniment, man, Bros runs the risk of the world exploding and the paletia heart attack, delirious going to the hospital seriously, I thought that after Jeff I was not going to see anyone Steppe showed me that my historical forecast was still too early and context fira. These 2 drummers had to do a repair together playing all the rhythms of the world with smelhires songs, the paleteia who loves music and the drummers who love drum solos repairs and orchestras and drum solos were honored and amazed at such an event 💙💙💙💙💙💎💎💎💎💎💎👏👏👏. When I saw 2 videos of the Steppario I already knew I was in front of a genius no one on this earth will tick his way no, no chance until the guy is another dimension, I already spoke to the steppe touch Mars and the Moon 🌝 🌙 A 🌎 🌍 is small for him really without exaggeration. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

And I subbed because of it ..

[@jasoncurry6150]

OldSkule when you freaked and mentioned it I was all over it knowing what you were talking about. I've been playing since the 4th grade and 5o fucking 2 years old now. Never in my life have I seen someone play drums and do it with pinpoint accuracy. He is a master of the craft and you as well. Hey love what ya do, love your channel. Thanks for the reaction.

[@graydi66y]

Arguably the best drummer on the planet.

[@idontknowwhatimdoingbutikn3602]

Easily my favourite reaction video ever. From the intro on his name to just watching you enjoy the drumming...just class.

[@myriandominguez]

Got to say your reactions are truly heartfelt. And watching someone who understands about percussions is an added bonus. If you want to see his musical Latin roots flourish, check out his cover of The Bongo Song.

Ooooo bongo

[@5ShotProductions]

I did catch it in the first glance and was also freaking out like you did, seeing his performance on „Numb“ for the first time! 😍 Playing the drums myself for over 30 years now I am beyond speechlessness 😧 This dude is so skilled and talented, great to watch a man playing the drums like he does… Thanks for reacting to his ART 🙏 Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

Blood sweat and tears right there. 110% over all, makes it become what you just witnessed. Genius drummer.

Great review. This is what happens when someone has dedicated their entire life to one art. He is truly a master at his craft. Imagine if we all found something we loved as much as he does drums. Beautiful thing to see when you think about it.

[@capn82]

I played a trumpet for over fifteen years. Percussion always fascinated me, and I dabbled in it. Knew some people that were naturally talented. This man is so technical it’s scary. I know enough to know what I don’t know. He’s a whole other level.

There are drummers and there is El Estepario. As a bassist i played with many drummers but he is out-worldish. Looks so effortless. But even he is so down to earth, having his idols. Definitely one of the guys i like to meet.

[@joenorsworthy]

In his video thanking subs for either 1 or 2 million -- I forgot which because there wasn't much time between them -- he described how his life circumstances changed. He went from practicing a couple hours a day to 8 hours a day. That level of dedication transformed what he can do. It's part of his belief that talent isn't the secret but rather hard work is. Check those videos if you'd like to see his exact explanation.

[@tedcrocker6283]

I'm not a drummer but I've always admired the Greats, and I had been wondering recently ( because I just discovered this guy couple of weeks ago) what Neal Peart would think about him. I'm glad you addressed that.

Super nice guy, if you watch his videos (some in spanish) he encourages everyone to chase their dreams, he says he is not especial, he is just working harder than anyone else. And yes, he admits that some of those shorts get several takes to get done, so I imagine a whole cover will be even harder

A very decent humble human being. I have recently started to watch reaction videos to Jorge. I'm not filming myself reacting,so it's hilarious to see the faces of other's.

Neil and Bonham would definitely be impressed with the stick mastery. And I guarantee that they would both be in the studio working their asses off to fit it in to their music!

[@fifty-plus]

This dude is totally off the charts, watched all his videos. The rim hit is easier than you stated if you have your hand off the end of the stick so your hand touches the skin not the stick during the setup.

[@seanbailey7875]

Oh and he does it all with a kick drum, one snare drum and one floor. Tom, a couple of cymbals, a dumbbell weight and a cowbell just laying around. He's a fucking Alien!!!

So every day.

And that's why he's so good, lives on them, went through a spell with the guitar where I couldn't take it off

[@ProtusMose]

I'm a drummer by necessity (when we had two guitarists and no drummer, I slid over and picked it up). I'm happy to keep a straight rock groove with a simple fill once in a while. Still, when he slid down to turn the rim-shot into an accent note and pulled it back up into the beat, I still audibly went "bro....." It's crazy.

[@PatstarDeluxe]

I'm not a drummer but air drum every day at the gym and have jammed on them a lot in my life... when I first saw that rim shot I reacted exactly like this guy

[@feron450]

You drummers speak another language ( compliment I just have no idea what you fellas are talking about haha )

[@johnackerman9441]

I get why the cross-sticking is an impressive moment but what blew my mind, was the way he did the hi-hat barks and then moved to keeping straight time with his left foot. Changing hand position seems so much easier in comparison to the independence it takes to switch gears like that. Idk maybe it seems like that to me because I’m a lefty that plays on a right handed kit. It’s weird for me to keep time with my dominant foot while my weaker foot plays the groove

[@Skankhunter420]

He does it perfectly the first time every time. Bow down.

[@MaartenT]

I saw on an other reaction channel (a drum channel) that Dennis Chambers actually did praise El Estepario Siberiano. I am not that familiar with Dennis Chambers, the genres he plays are not something I listen to regularly, but I know he is one of the teachers for Drumeo and from what I understand he is a well regarded drummer that is inducted in the "Modern Drummer" hall of fame according to wikipedia. Granted El Estepario Siberiano nowadays is also part of the Drumeo family, but I am sure someone like Dennis Chambers wouldn't just say something if he didn't believe it.
