Drummers HONEST reaction | El Estepario Siberiano - BLINDING LIGHTS

[@troop-r]

In my humble opinion as a music enthusiast i think El Estepario is a game changer. Maybe it's too soon to say but i believe he will become one of the most important drummers for this century. I love your reactions btw.

[@TheHonestTake]

Thank you!!!! This comment made my night

[@Xformat01]

He's going to need to break out of 4/4 to ever have that status.

[@shootstraight91]

@@Xformat01 he's 27 years young he's got plenty of time

[@Xformat01]

@@shootstraight91 What??? Estepario is only 27??????

[@pcarhe]

Check out Yoyoka, a 13 year old girl. More than 500 videos, more than 150 songs played live with hundreds of different musicians (regular at Whisky a Go Go, at 13) 5 original albums (2 of them jazz albums), numerous original singles. All videos are one take. No gimmicking or showing off. Just pure joy. Countless jams, improvisations, solos... Rock, pop, funk, jazz, blues - no problems for her. 5/4, 5/8, 7/8 .... no problems for her El Estepario? Yes, he is fast and precise (but also regularly records 50+ takes for one video). But what else? Live performances - nothing. Original music - nothing. Diversity - nothing It's not a surprise that Yoyoka is on the DrummerWorld list of Top 500 drummers of all time, as the youngest person ever. El Estepario is not even close to being on that list.

[@bobbymorris525]

That “floor Tom” is a 2nd snare! Just a very deep snare. The man is unstoppable.

[@stevemccusker1626]

It took me a good 3 watches to realize it was a 2nd snare. Shit THICCC.

[@punicwars2]

holly hell!!! it does seems like it!

[@ivanmedina2334]

Perfect drums phrases, multiple colors in his playing, he knows how to mix them a put them in the right place of every song he has covered. This was absolutely brilliant. Great reaction.

[@ukdnbmarsh]

El Estepario is just the best drummer that have ever been, absolutely incredible.

[@dfloriza]

I love how he plays just because he knows EXACTLY what drummers love, too. The stuff he does is incredible

[@bluecavy7410]

It's always great to see these reaction videos, especially when he gravity blasts and 2 stick one hand cymbal crashes

[@memyselfandi4581]

Your reaction to this was perfect honest and not over doing it like other reactors ...this guy i have to admit is raising the bar because now i cant watch other drummers without thinking in my head " estapario is better " its great in some ways and not in other because drummers are burning the drums after seeing him and how much time he puts in

[@TheHonestTake]

Thanks!

[@joseluisnavarro7019]

Well he has shown he can play all kind of music and every single video surprise all of us

[@ralphmunn1685]

Bro, you didn't comment on his stick flip-switch-grab-three-sticks-at-once action, which blew my mind. ...And he did it TWICE for those for us who couldn't believe what we had seen the first time!!! 🤔😳🤣🥰

[@bradcordle7743]

Or that he was throwing in rim-shot’s at will, over and over. Ask any other drummer friend’s to try it in the middle of a set. 😅

[@rodsgeneticts716]

were all witness to the evolution of prob the best drummer ever and im so fuckn happy to just be able to witness this

[@SA-xn7jq]

You have to watch this at least 10 times to begin to grasp & comprehend just how outer worldly he is!

[@jndvs95]

The stick flip, catching it in a hand that already has another stick in a way that the flipped stick can be reasonably used to blast doubles on a hi-hat, all the while still doing everything else with the other stick and pedal. This man is a machine

[@666Benway]

Ladys and gentlemen, this is how you re-invent an instrument

[@philippecote8571]

Estepario is making drumming great again

[@javierdelabarrera8090]

El Estepario the Houdini of drummers , the best of the best 🥇

[@mausewix]

1:27 if you blinked you missed it. Look how he switched to the third stick. He flips the stick in his right hand, switched the stick from his left hand to the right hand, catches the airborne stick with the right hand and pulled the third stick out of his pants. And all of this perfectly to the beat. And he is doing this twice. The release of the third stick after this section is almost not viewable because it is so insanly fast. And why? Just because.

[@relizondogzz]

He's not smoking a joint, he is quiting drinking and smoking cigarretes, but that's a tobacco cigarrete. That's just how they do them in Europe, usually they're the ones doing their own cigarretes which makes them look like a joint, but he's explicitly said that he doesn't smoke joints in any of the videos.

[@hate6crew6death6roll]

yes...i _believe_ that

[@danpandemic5388]

Nothing is more scary than a genius who pushes himself to new boundaries.

[@martymcfly6098]

Playing with 2 sticks in his right hand was amazing. Like everything else he does.........

[@Pinki_315]

When his eyes lit up. ❤

[@lesterunwin]

that was extremely tasteful. i don't mean that in a derogatory sense, but he's showing a nuance i haven't seen in his videos before.

[@mistergcreactions]

This guy is on his way to become a lengend.

[@jhamler1]

As a shit drummer myself, it's honestly heartbreaking watching this guy move so fast and accurately. He defies belief sometimes. Even though he's using that batshit kick pedal, he ain't cheating. The skill and technique he displays are transcendent. In terms of inspiration, El Estepario just might represent a sea change in what's possible as a percussionist. Excelsior!

[@MrMetalManMe]

He's a robot pal don't be disheartened he's not real 🤘🏻

[@JoriDiculous]

When his video title say "it took me 12 years to play this", he's not joking. He's a machine, a very focused machine :D

[@pehobg]

actually, that pedal makes it harder, not easier.

[@chrishatton2642]

He has definitely raised the bar.

[@teehee90005]

I’ve watched every reaction to this song!!

[@vader6203]

Love this reaction!

[@michaelfinnegan4301]

I think you missed the double sticks. A lot to unpack there, you may want to watch that again.

[@kurtcraig3421]

was thinking the same thing dude. took me a few vids to pick it up. i mean his sticks are mostly a blur anyway mind about seeing two of them in one hand.

[@JustinWebbMusic]

It's not even about the double sticks alone. It's the fact that he throws the stick, catches it in between his fingers mid-air and then has them both ready to go on the beat. And he does it twice. It's INSANE.

[@Goingforbroke71]

He 100% missed it.

[@MorellioBenoir]

​@@JustinWebbMusicIt kind of reminds me of when LockPockingLawyer says, "Let's try that again to make sure it is not a fluke." Yep not a fluke. Pure practice and drive. :)

[@paulzoom489]

watching drummers and drum teachers watch this video and just seeing on their face that reality of I odn't know what's going on here is the best part of the video lol

[@vintageludwig]

That Duallist pedal has been out for over a decade now. I had one about 13 years ago and just couldn't get it figured out, so I sold it. I always thought it was gimmicky, but I wish I had it around still to play with

[@SINasTER75]

If he is not the best drummer in the world, he's surely is on the very short list of it...

[@Gabriel-dp8zx]

It takes a lot of adrenaline to do this. The guy is outa this world.

[@Nirotix]

That's insane. Absolutely insane. The amount of practice he puts in has to be respected. Like holy f....

[@devingarrett5800]

He really single handedly changed the game with his one handed covers.

[@Jay-ju9jw]

Haha, you must have missed him grab the other stick from his waist line. Playing with 3 sticks!!!! Lol

[@elvincenzo2960]

That dude is born… for more !!!! 👆🏻

[@beltrangarrote1982]

He is not smoking a marijuana joint. He’s smoking “natural” regular tobacco. In Spain you can buy a small bag and make your own cigarettes. It’s “healthier” (even though not healthy by any means) than processed tobacco.

[@bluecavy7410]

Hopefully, he quits smoking. we need this drummer around

[@austinpowers8550]

Marijuana is all natural also.

[@timglick6268]

I'm good either way

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

Hey hey hey hey 🌬️ 🌲's Everyday

[@stevecvntnikoslawyer4181]

He 100% smokes weed. Stop making shit up

[@stevegaspar]

Wait he had an extra set of sticks in his waist band and pulled them to play with the other's?? Unbelievable and I watched this video 3 times before I noticed! Haha WOW

[@baronsengir303]

best reaction ever ...wtf is going on the gravity blasts with both hands and the 2 stick highat :) love it and youre reaction

[@TheHonestTake]

Thank you!

Omg got the Goosebumps do no f****** way that was crazy no way I've never seen a couple of f****** side of the slap on the stick oh man that's crazy

The magician of the drums

[@MichaelDionneDrummer]

What's funny is that the Duallist Pedal has been around for quite a long time! They were just never extremely popular. Until now I guess!

[@tj7264]

Not a lot out there has taken the time to really show the workings of that pedal before. His video on it is fantastic! But like he said, it takes awhile to get to know it and put it to use in context. It'll become used a lot more because of him for sure!!

[@MichaelDionneDrummer]

@@tj7264 Oh definitely!

[@adamwade2546]

I wanted a dualist back in 2003, mad how they are now blowing up

[@soulessshadow5356]

@@tj7264 I'm interested to know how hard it was to get used to the triple pedal he has.

[@tj7264]

@@soulessshadow5356 Yea, I'm not sure if the timing is different on that one or not, never had one. Like he says in his vid, with the dbl single, you need to plan on a stroke when you switch it back to single. And hitting the lever for the dbl is a good hard stomp.

[@User-1901]

Two sticks in his hands and had two sticks in his waistband. What a guy!

[@MorellioBenoir]

He's changing between double and single stroke kick drum while his stick is flying in the air and he's catching it.

[@jimbob2252]

Yeah like what the hell is happening 😂😂

[@gigolosmurf]

The drum machine 🤘😎🥁

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Human drum machine. Amazing.

[@benjaminwinrow9620]

No one ever seems to notice the double sticks playing x2 throughout the song

[@jamesgaithercarpentry]

What yall missed is this... when he switches up and grabs the stick out of his waist band, he actually throws the other stick into his right hand and is now playing those high hats with 2 sticks in one hand! Lol. So he literally has a "V" shaped set of sticks in his right hand hittting those hats.

[@KUKIDOCLUBBING]

Double stick work is mental

[@froddy32623]

He doesn't just cover the songs. He straight up elevates them.

[@adrianciociu9261]

El Estepario is not a robot is just a human but is possessed (by “drums spirits). The guy is making history and is THE KING

[@phimuskapsi]

So, he has this awesome pedal that switches between, just has to tap it on the left or right side. So cool, but adds a level of complexity, on top of well.... every other goddamn thing he's doing. 🤣

[@ardorministries]

“Is he rushing a little bit?” Bit your tongue, sir

[@RencoSC]

El Estapario Siberiano is as amazing as he is because he works hard and stays focused and like he says in several of his videos that if you put in the time and effort you can do anything you set your mind to. Someday when someone asks who the greatest drummer of all time the answer won't be John Bonham, it will be El Estepario Siberiano... 🤘😁👍

[@FullMetalcoreJojo]

REN with his GUITAR is EL ESTEPARIO eith his drums. They were born eith that shxt and nobody can vonvince me otherwise. Goddamn. Like a 5th limb, a 6th sense. Part of their soul. I can't waiting to get back to drumming. Not too long now.

[@christopherbronson3275]

"Self indulgent" LOL, I think EES has Earned a lil self indulgence with this track

[@gSpiner]

Did you catch the double stick switch? Double stick on the high-hat.

[@TheHonestTake]

No tag it… I wanna see!

[@bdbing23]

He did it twice!

@@TheHonestTake at same transition, first at 1:30

[@themog4911]

I missed it completely until you pointed it out, thanks :)

[@Uphold-your-Rights]

Also, don't miss the switch back to 2 sticks. You can hardly see it.

[@RPSartre01]

you didn't even notice when he started using two sticks in his right hand.

[@jcc5018]

Alright-- on el Esterpario-- I do really enjoy HIS content. Probably the best I've seen. Kinda sucks I get more recommended videos of people reacting to him, than his actual videos. On your video REACTING to El Estepario, He is the main focus. He is the reason people are clicking on this video. He should be the bigger image. Your comments add little value, and we dont need a big version of you watching someone else. In fact, we hardly need your face on the screen at all. If you produce original videos, then you can be the bigger image. But not a reaction to something else. Basic video production-- put the Main subject in the primary focus point. If you have a talking point, you can switch the feed. OK thats my rant for the day. I'm going to go find his channel

[@pepeteperez7142]

I saw an interview in Spain and he plays 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

[@tippylu-cs5lj]

Danggggg your hair grew quick!! 😳

[@drummerwax]

There are the drummers... Then El Estepario Siberiano !

[@lordwise1111]

No the floor Tom is a second kick drum not a snare! The man is on a level not seen since John Bonham!

[@brunopaulino1623]

Two drumsticks in the right hand

[@ofsinope]

A generation is about to grow up idolizing EES. I give it about 5 years before drummers are commonly seen with a cowbell sitting on the snare.

[@bradcordle7743]

Next to a 5 lb barbell weight. 🤘

[@du_auch_da4520]

Actually from what I heard this single double pedal is way more difficult to control than a classic double pedal

[@pplrstrange]

Dude can play

[@Oleleh]

I felt the rush too, but I prefer doubt myself than him

[@s01925]

Could be a joint, could be a rollie. It's pretty common to roll in Spain

[@brucelogan8861]

The Dualist pedal has been out for years!!!

[@tonyfeuerhelm]

@ 1:50 that's two sticks in the right and one in the left it's the flip trick.

[@hooyah_whit7054]

The pedal he uses is The Dualist!

[@MrShrop800]

The dualist isn’t his pedal. Dualist have been around since the mid 2000s. They just never were given a chance until this guy started showing what they really could do.

Thank you so much for these reactions, I love hearing your thoughts on Garrido. Is there any way you can do a split screen with you on one side and him on the other? I watch these on my iPhone 11 while running on my treadmill and it’s super hard to see his drumming during your commentary.
