[@Lochlann13]

What blows my mind is that the Bongo Song was never played or intended to be played by a single drummer. It's played by two drummers, which makes this cover nearly unbelievable.

[@Kiham80]

...with a lot of help from a drum machine...

[@CM.243]

@@Kiham80 El Estepario is the drum machine.

[@Kiham80]

@@CM.243 Agreed! But the first dudes are not :P

[@barrywitt7250]

100% mate it was made for an ochestra or percussion and other instruments you don’t even hear the gap where the other instruments are he’s that seemless I know some amazing drummers I’m not half bad myself , played for a few known musicians and just wow this guys mustard indeed ❤️

[@casperandersen6861]

It’s played by two guys in the original and they play the same beat. So it was intended for one

[@dbell2224]

He is without a doubt the first drummer that could go on tour by himself just playing cover!! He would be a sell out every night!!

[@adamk9700]

I’ve been watching amazing and legendary drummers for years, and nobody is doing what he’s doing or is as talented. Period. He’s absolutely the most talented drummer alive, and the attention he’s bringing to the drums is fantastic. Most unbelievable speed, accuracy, coordination, and technique in the biz!

[@PinkiesBrain]

I think similar about it - although Id say objectively there is probably some ppl in the world who have or had similar impact / skill that I just did not recognize yet. That being said- I started drumming because of Estepario- which probably says something. Still he is pretty humble and has nothing but good words about other legends like Thomas Lang and else. Fact is: neither Thomas Lang nor the Dreamtheater drumming crew or any other famous drummers made me feel about drums how Estepario did. Not even close. Estepario does incredible things which are still kinda "easy to listen to" not only expressing expertise through some polyrythm 5/43 over 2/3 like Thomas Lang and others. Estepario just has this natural musicality - paired with loads of practice and technical expertise.

[@iamlucas2012]

He is today’s Buddy Rich. Everyone treated the trap kit a certain way until Buddy came along. We’ve had a long drought of everyone chasing Buddy. Not a drummer alive would even suggest someone was better or is currently better than him. This guy is absolutely on Buddy’s level and has the life left to pass him. The promised one has arrived to begin an entirely new era of trap drum kit usage.

[@tpatrick44]

I think he is pure instinct without thinking it…he IS each beat, each roll, each symbol…he becomes One with his Kits…and his Kits vary from video to video. He’s an artist and fully committed to each moment he’s Drumming. It’s my take but the only way I can explain the extraordinary talent of this man…Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@dennisrehrmann6710]

He's basically Bruce Lee behind drums. Be drums, my friend.

[@jannesalonen1491]

His basic kit stays the same throughout every video. Just look carefully. Doesn't rule out the fact that he becomes one with the song.

[@salemyo2525]

@@dennisrehrmann6710 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mc.7103]

Man, I'm so glad I'm not a percussionist. Many don't like the word "GENIUS", well I'm sorry for many, but this guy is a "GENIUS". I have been studying music since I was 7 years old, and never in my student or work life have I seen anyone play like that, I have seen exceptional percussionists, I have seen incredible ones but this man is a "DEMON" playing the drums, literally. The great violinist Nathan Milstein once said, "Either you can play it, or you can't play it," as simple as that. El Estepario is an ABSOLUTE GENIUS, and in his immense modesty he encourages us that it is possible, but it is a lie. Understand that for that genius it is normal, and what we see seems impossible to us, for him it is normal. We are facing a phenomenon of nature, a Failure in the Matrix. For me he is the best in the world. But that is my modest opinion.

[@PinkiesBrain]

Id mostly agree and I think also that the phrase "there is no talent- only practice" comes from ppl who did not fully understand what talent ist. Still I just wanted to add that while being a multiinstrumentalist myself, the own point of view changes dramatically over time with practice. At start you feel like stuff is simply impossible, but after takin step after step, building muscles and neurons, stuff becomes kinda "reachable". This does not invalidate your argument which I agree with but I just wanted to add this - especially to ppl who underestimate their own ability to improve- even with "medium" talent.

[@trusoundlowvolumedrumheads1002]

Please go check out owen davey play dreamtheater on EVERY instrument it's not right.

[@MasterOvPuppetz]

bro have you seen technical death metal?

[@czi73]

I remember the first time I heard Safri Duo do Played-A-Live, I was amazed at how cool it sounded with both of them playing. El Estepario Siberiano sounds every bit as good or better doing it solo. He's on a completely different level.

[@ColbyFultonDrums]

💯🐐

[@TranceFanHungary]

And they Was a duo. Safri Duo, they played this song on two drums and with four hands. But, just for the record, they not played the leg things. So mr Siberiano making two and half job alone. :)

[@smokeybenj]

@@TranceFanHungary But this guys "leg things" are insane on their own. He can work those pedals like no one I've ever seen before, so I would go as far as saying he's doing the job of 3.5 drummers. He is incredible. And self taught in 11 years or something ridiculous. Wow!

[@TranceFanHungary]

@@smokeybenj totaly agree! 🙂

[@weirgromin5493]

His Gravity blasting is amazing. This guy can play anything. He's absolutely hands down the best drummer I have ever heard.

[@matthewimi]

I'm an early generation x guy, so I grew up in the '70s and '80s with all of the huge drum sets these drummers played on. So for me seeing this guy initially I was like okay this is a real small kit, but there's no way I can sit and just deny his talent, ability, and obvious devotion to perhaps what could be thousands of hours of practice. Nobody gets this good without practice. He's the best drummer I'm aware of right now. Hardest thing to do is to hold a beat and come back on one, and he's throwing all of these complicated fills, as clean as I've ever seen, and coming back on one That's the hardest thing I've ever had to tackle. If Neil Peart was alive, other than retiring because of his age and inability to keep up secondary to that age, he would probably retire because of talent like this. The guy might as well be drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. Oh wait! He does that while he plays.

[@denet2469]

Really. Neil Peart would retire. Dumbest statement ever

[@onewatchjustisntenough]

I mean dude this is sick but have you seen his new video. Oh my God the techniques that he is using are like nothing I have ever seen anyone else do. This guys on a whole complete other level of drumming

[@chrishatton2642]

The speed of his single stroke rolls is insane

[@PorridgeDrawers]

Stunning drumming. Flawless, effortless, and he is really enjoying himself. Best drumming I have ever seen. Fabulous El Estepario.

[@michaelwilliamson3771]

YES, HES THE BEST, NEXT TO THE LATE, GREAT, NEIL PERT!!! MICHAEL...

[@shannonwittgen8502]

I especially like this one because he seems to be enjoying playing it.

[@bernardjacques3860]

effortless? :) like 20+ years of hard work, and he is sweating!

[@PorridgeDrawers]

@bernardjacques3860 I don't mean he isn't working hard for it, he is. He just makes it look effortless. He's an very efficient drummer.

[@trx350]

It’s almost like he plays using 100% peripheral vision. He doesn’t really look at the drums. It amazing. And the speed that he’s playing makes the sticks look like the old pencil rubber trick.

[@snapgab]

That part isn't unusual, even a beginner drummer will be able to hit every part of their kit with their eyes closed.

[@lucaskuczek]

Best example I've ever seen not looking is Nick Mason playing "set the controls for the heart of the sun" live in Pompeii

[@MrJz97ss]

Of the drummers I have seen, none are better. He is the Michael Jordan of drumming.

The dude is out of this world. There are lots of very talented fingers and percussionists. But there's something really special with this dude. It's so damn awesome and such a treat to see him play. Great video. 👍

The man is superhuman. Only One other has such chops - his Infernal Majesty !

[@jasblick9984]

There are human beings that come along who are simply astonishing. He is one of them. An inspiration on so many levels. What I would give for even one private lesson with him. When my girlfriend and I get our non profit set up for my fellow vets we want people like this to to come in and work with disabled vets

[@3456480]

I think he trains at least 5h per day? There are some videos from him on the topic, also about talent ;) What you see now is the result of hard work...

[@user-nz2zb1bn5t]

Obviously the greatest drummer not just his technique but his groove and taste

[@daveb8559]

You don’t understand because you’re simply thinking about it too much. This is not to take away from obvious natural talent, but this is a man that’s just letting go and flowing with the music. He enters the flow so easily. That’s a true master musician. When you are able to just let it run thru you instead of thinking about it.

[@jakekattan5502]

THE BEST DRUMMER OUT THERE FULL STOP 🛑 this is years Of hard practice and dedication he eats and sleeps drums this is his life 🙏

most of us drummers cant play like this even if we had a 4-5 arms. but still prefer through fire and flames cover. that was superb

[@jonathanbouthillette753]

What's even crazier that this song was originally played by two drummers

[@michaelwilliamson3771]

Mr. Colby, this is by far the greatest song this man has ever performed!!! You should hear the original too sir??? Michael...

[@jasonedwards1322]

He's definitely the best drummer that I've ever heard, his coordination is nuts.

[@scottowens1535]

He's literally seeing the music. He gets a deep smile cause he likes what he sees.

[@manoloespindola8309]

Que El Lobo Estepario toque con tal maestría esta obra planeada para dos bateristas y lo haga ver sencillo tiene que dejar en claro, para los pocos que lo dudaban, que él es el depredador supremo Es impresionante lo que este español hace en cada uno de sus videos... no es natural, no es normal Pareciera que además de tener dos cerebros en la cabeza, tiene IA en cada una de sus extremidades Y lo que más sorprende es que él toca de oído, es decir, no sabe leer las notas musicales Este tipo es un virtuoso que aún no ha topado su potencial Podría estar en cualquier banda de rock, hard rock, heavy metal, trash metal o incluso jazz y destacaría de manera impresionante Coincido con Colby: hoy por hoy es el mejor baterista del mundo

"How do you get this good?" A valid question when you consider that no one could teach this to him!! Mind blown!

It's called natural ability that cannot be taught.

I think, whenever you say I don't understand, it's unanimously thought of... I've just come to the conclusion, just enjoy, if you pick up on bits and incorporate it, awesome, if not, just go with the flow and smile!! Absolute raw talent!!

[@manicdeep]

He has stated in other videos that the reason he is able to play at that level is all due to practice. But from what I can tell, besides having supernatural four-limb independence, he thinks creatively outside the box more than most people. He is amazing.

[@ThePzycho1]

Incredible,, this man has no weak points in what he's doing. What a great talent he has

what i found funny was that EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO said its not talent that got him here it was hard work and dedication and not talent lmao which he clearly has but it was the hard work and dedication that allowed his natural talent to do what hes doing and showing us

[@jannesalonen1491]

I've watched pretty much everyone of his videos and watched them good. Couple of things come to my mind: - See how he keeps his right stick between his middle and index finger during the hardest parts? Makes it easier for some moves. - He IS the beat, the rhythm. He has way better sense of rhythm than the common man and he just is persistent on practice. IIRC he said that he's been practicing every day for the past 18 years. - His basic setup remains the same throughout his videos. Ok, there are additions every now and then but the basics are there. Practice and muscle memory. - For some odd reason I believe that he has practiced his limbs to work independently, in gym or otherwise. It surely is possible, practice and muscle memory again. - He just has a huge amount of talent on top of everything. All in all a humble and a great guy. And by far the best drummer in the world.

[@theinvestingcanuck]

He's currently the best drummer in the world imo...

[@Javservice]

I agree with you.. I’m 50 years old.. I’ve seen a lot of good drummers in my life time but never ever one this good. I think he’s unbeatable and without a doubt the best drummer in the world unless someone shows me otherwise.

[@Whoknows-zu2eb]

I've only just started watching him, does he do any stuff in different time signatures? Just interested. Cos someone like Larnell seems to have the technique and variety, and I've seen him play a wide range of genres and signatures, just wondered if El Estepario has done the same.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

I think this is my favorite video of Estepario, the drums are absolutely flawless but they compliment and complete the song in a way that most of his other covers, while still absolutely mind-blowing, tend to fall in the "overplaying way too much over a simple beat" territory.

You meet people like this from time to time...natural talent and a lot - a lot and a lot - of constant hard work. It's almost genetic.

[@FiloDeSarten]

Funny thing is that he has an old video from way back, when he uploaded in Spanish, where he explains that he doesn't believe in "natural born talent", rather he believes in total dedication and effort, and to prove it, he shows his evolution over six years (by that time, which if I remember correctly, was 6 years ago, so the older videos he shows are 12 years old now) from being a hobby player to being a professional one, and indeed, his technique was kinda sloppy up until he took it seriously and started practicing like 8 hours a day every day no matter what. I personally think that some people have some predisposition to master some stuff easier than others, but if you dedicate and center your whole life to something, like at obsessive levels, you'll end up a master of it.
