This guy is a bad ass on drums

[@mauricesalce21sttheaaandan48]

This guy is the king of drumming. I hsve never seen anything like him incredible

[@hildenbrandt21]

Legs like pistons and actual limb independence, one of the few drummers who can overplay a song and somehow not overplay it at all.

[@GB-ue6wr]

This guy proves you don’t need an 82 piece set to sound ridiculously good!! He is out of this world good!

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Well, guys like Buddy Rich & John Bonham proved that +60 years ago. And I hope that we would agree that a Dream Theater or Tool album wouldn’t sound half as good on a minimalist kit … Big kits are usually (and hopefully) used like a guitar. You could play most songs on two strings, but it sounds so much more beautiful and harmonically pleasant when using six strings. A landscape of harmonies or timbres can be a beautiful thing 👍🏻😎

[@ndnd2023]

Metal drummers kits have got much smaller these days. It was all about the double kick drums and rows of toms and cymbals... Not the case or the need with guys like this around.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@ndnd2023 Well, and as i said: A Dream Theater album, or a Tool album, or a Mahavishnu Orchestra album, or a Rush album would probably have sounded terrible using a 3 piece kit. There’s (usually) a reason for big kits. And when handled by a professional for building a creative landscape of sound then it’s a beautiful thing!

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@ndnd2023 … so: yes, the “need” for timbres very much still exists! 🫵🏻🦍

[@vandersgarage4682]

@@flowerlandofjohn I cant deny your logic. It is solid. HOWEVER, you might want to go look at El Estapario's covers of Tool and Dream Theater. Far from terrible and done on his basic minimal kit. So no, you dont NEED a big kit if you have enough skill on a smaller one. He has proven it many times.

[@paulself8698]

This guy is the best drummer in the world at present, by a country mile...

[@Will-vs5kp]

No, he's good, very good, but quite a way off the best

[@mrbarthol]

As far as technique, yeah, he’s the best.

[@codyjackson472]

He's awesome but I'd have to say dylan Elise and Tony Royster Jr are better

[@ReadyNick11]

@@Will-vs5kp You are most definitely a minority there Will.

[@curtislopez5398]

Not only is the Groovefather a beast of a drummer he is cool as hell !!! Answers emails and loves sharing his techniques, what more do you want from musician ?

[@KitWriter]

Lots of new original badass music. To bad we’ll never … oh, wait he has a new original band coming out soon. 🤘

[@rafaelborrego36]

Have you seen his triplet base pedal?? Is great

[@jarekwojcinski4202]

That fellow just play with drum kit😂😂😂😂he just making a fun of it and takes a piss of metal drummers ,he is just like a clown in a circus😂😂😂 absolutely the best 😂😂😂😂

[@ukdnbmarsh]

he is still so young and for me the best drummer to have ever lived, just mind bogglingly good.

[@chriskellyGolf79]

How can one person have so much headspace while playing at this pace. He’s insane

[@MikeKobb]

He makes it look so easy. Unbelievable.

[@yarasub]

He is also a great human being and appreciates his fans and humble 😊

[@rvdnagel1963]

I'm not a drummer, not even a musician but it gives me joy to watch him do his thing.

[@edartigas1191]

He's like the Michael Jordan of drums attack, physicality, bringing drums to a new athletic level

[@3Kiwiana]

Not a good comparison but yea he is one of the best along with Thomas lang

[@adriannicolescu8037]

You are very sure that he's really human??? This spanish guy is simply amazing...I don't have any words...

[@nancysewell6670]

He's said he practices about 8 hours a day and is incredibly disciplined. I do think he also has a musicality and creative ability that perhaps is something that could be called innate talent, but however he developed, he's incredible

[@YnseSchaap]

Let's all appreciate the bloody good sound of his kit especially the hi-hat 😁

[@iamtoothewalrus]

Michael Jackson would have loved this guy!

[@deborahfultz2610]

I have never watched a drummer before. Just never really paid a lot of attention to them. I can’t stop watching this guy. I loved your reaction to him. You have had the best reaction so far. And, I have watched a lot of reactions to his videos and I love love love your reaction. So fun!! ❤Thx for the smiles.

[@ayersbiz6458]

That's the Master of King Tut of drumming. Mr. Kraftman.

[@raunohamalainen9667]

did you notice that Estepario holds drumsticks in a slighty different way as drummer usually

[@user-er6fs3is9h]

Keep Rocking Jason. You may not have reached El Estepario's level. You may or may not. But your love and passion for music is what's important. Keep sharing that. Peace.

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

He Played in a heavy metal band in S America for years. He's probably the best drummer in the World, definitely the fastest!

[@mikebigeasyrider]

Can you imagine the drum sheet music for this song he played.......Geeeeezzzzzzz !

[@marianoromano484]

the talent of this guy. the gift he has. ok, he practices 8+ hours a day. but each note, each stroke... ive seen his videos many times and i watch them again as it were 1st time, and each time i end in awe. just love his art. to mention some of his masterpieces, knight of cydonia by muse, blinding lights by wknd, even gangam style by psy. and many more. even when hes not using drums but the tubulum and the other instrument which i dont remember its name atm, the one played by hands... hes a maestro and each time he plays, hes relaxed... he enjoys it all. he gives me peace.

[@fadetounforgiven]

You got his name right. Yes, with a bit of an accent but that's expected. Much better than any other non Spanish speaker I've heard.

[@Blinknone]

He just completely floors me every time I see a new video. And I don't even play the drums. Holy crap!

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

Jason, EES started playing drums at age 12. That was 15 years ago.

[@mikef.1000]

Laser focus. Laser, I tell you. Siberiano nails it every time.

[@Grindcruje]

I think Michael is trying to return to the world to continue listening to this

[@YlL-ji2sl]

Didn't you know he is still alive? 😂

[@AbdullahAl-mamun-cd4wi]

The world's best musician and dancer Michael Jackson. His style of dancing and singing music never seems childish. He always sang music in deep voice, so his songs are hit and catchy. Moreover he always wrote teachable music. He was the only person in the world who performed dance-music together in front of live audience. May her soul rest in peace'''🇧🇩🎵🎧🇧🇩

[@Ray-gu5kp]

The Picasso of drums. No one can touch him

[@rpminc1974]

He is next level like i have never seen His drumming sounds like a Gatling gun

[@grafixgirl]

Love watching your reactions! I'm obsessed with this guy. Not to take away from the genius of Quincy Jones or MJ, but wasn't this played on a drum machine in studio? 😳 I think it was Sugarfoot who played on tour with MJ?

[@69yenko65]

That sounded sweet

[@roadboat9216]

Number one: Thanks for actually showing your featured drummer as the FEATURE and not yourself. I hate it when the host has his head as the visual feature and the featured drummer as a tiny box. We don’t need to count your skin pores. While squinting at the barely discernible drummer. Well done Jason! And El Estepario, you know how amazing you are.

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

fredread, my thoughts exactly. Just add SHUT UP when they talk over the greatness just to hear their own voices. Coleman always says "do I have any EES fans"? No YOU don't have any EES fans. Why would HE have EES fans? At least Samus66, OldSkuleNerd pause the music to make a comment, Coleman just talks over the music.

[@zoranm6432]

That’s the thing. He’s not just a drum machine on steroids but he’s got awesome tasty grooves as well.

[@juan.g.v8333]

El Estepario is a helluva good percussionist but you my friend should comment more so that we, mere mortals, learn the intricacies on these instruments that stand out to you

[@dominikfrohlich6253]

The difference: You practice drumming. He lives drumming.

Unspeakable greatness

Dude is an animal ain't he

[@peterarmstrong6928]

It's called evolution at light speed

[@ricardovoltini2875]

What an incredible technique and precision. Certainly his dedication is remarkable. But I don't want to live on a planet, where all drummers would play like that all the time. One of the reasons, I hardly ever listen to metal shredders... "Music" has nothing to do with playing as fast and as many notes as possible. It's a bit like formula one. Just imagine traffic if every one would drive as fast and as risky as possible (besides the noise)

[@Soundwave1of9]

The problem is, this is now the definitive version of Thriller for me, the original sounds empty. 😅

[@daleweston5874]

I call him "Hands of God" which should be his online name

[@richardkilgore8922]

Crazy he's not even his own favorite Drummer!

[@danielcurtis1072]

Sorry to break the news to you el, but there's not another human being that could do that!

Ahoy!! .. Mike Mangini..!!!. where are you!! Pls have a look at it...😄

[@kendoglarson5419]

8 hours a day practicing..... insisting on drumming better the next day. Well, it shows for sure. We're going to be talking about this guy for the next 100 years. And, i believe he is just getting started. 🍌🍌🍌🍌

He's brilliant but I feel he overplayed a bit on this song . I preferred the blinding lights cover

[@GG-gk7jn]

Technically it’s fantastic, a master. 💪🏻 musically, I’m half hearted, sometimes I find it “too heavy”, “too full”. Like a AK47 keep firing 😂 Silence and break are also notes actually 😂 but not denying his so talented 👏🏻

[@gardj456]

I'm not gay, but I fucking love this guy😂😂! What would Metallica sound like with him on the kit?? Holy shit

[@flowerlandofjohn]

“Drum teacher reacts” - and one actual comment about licks/technique in the whole video: and that at probably the easiest lick of them all (hand/foot triplets). You seem like a great guy, but lately there’s popping such an ridiculous amount of “drummer reaction channels” who focus on Jorge. But almost all of them are just about how cool he is and that the playing is “clean”. Without any actual analysis of the drumming. What’s your thoughts on this critique of mine? And: do people (including yourself) just wanna piggyback on his success, and/or are so many without actual knowledge to talk about what’s actually going on? I wish you the best of luck, but I think it goes without saying that this “average nice dude without actual drumming substance reacting to great drummer” is not for me - and frankly I don’t understand the concept at all ✌🏻😂😎 … and yes (before the KZbin community hates on me) I can play the “triplet fill” mentioned above: kzbin.infoZgzy26HBRVM?feature=share 👍🏻😅

[@apeistheplace]

Sorry forgot the comment about his “limb independence”, which of course is phenomenal. Interesting though that it’s played on a “back track snare that plays all the accents” - so a little bit smoke and mirrors going on there ✌🏻😎

[@JasonSayersDrums]

Some drummers do this yes. I do legitimate first time reactions with no pre watching. I find analysis videos boring so I don’t make them. Not to mention on first watch things happen extremely quickly so catching everything takes a very keen eye. If I was to just focus on his playing then yes I could pick out more. That said drumming for me is all about the performance mixed with the playing ability so it would be hard to say everything on first glance. I would need to pre watch the video and make several notes before going into specifics of the drummers playing. Hope that answers a few of your questions.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@JasonSayersDrums Well, i might just have “high standards” when I see titles as “Drum teacher reacts”. Then I assume that the actual drumming will be addressed in some sense (that’s why I “humorously” made the comment above that this more becomes - random nice dude reacts). And by that I’m not expecting a total analysis of every beat, but his licks are usually not that complex (fast singles and up & down sextuplets and quadruplets for the most part - I might get hate for that simplification 😅😂). And what’s your thoughts on playing over backtracks, I’ve recently been made more aware that he does that quite a bit 😳 But, with that said: where can I find your actual drumming? ✌🏻

[@JasonSayersDrums]

@@flowerlandofjohn I have some shorts but check repair to ruin and cuecliche for some of my work.

@@JasonSayersDrumsThanks, I always like references in discussions. Good to know where people are coming from 👍🏻😎

[@JT-py7ze]

He sold his soul to the devil, say hello to Eric Johnson for us all

[@kubengovender5234]

I’m so tempted to say he’s overplaying. At this level I’d rather have all the other instruments stop. 😅

[@JoeBilello1969]

He's fabulous but he over drums a lot of songs. He's actually drumming out the song here and you can't hear the song😢

[@OttoByOgraffey]

He's got nothing, on Ringo!

This drummer has everything......except musical empathy.

[@thunderdax6125]

He has great skill and great technique. He worked very hard and I think he is the fastest living drummer.. but... but... This is not play drum. This is noise. Ok, you are very fast, but why? I don't like this arrangments.
