I’m literally obsessed with this video and your unprecedented skill level. I can see you drumming for a showing of top hits at the Sphere in Las Vegas Vegas !!!! Can you imagine. They have 160,000 speakers. It would be EPIC

[@GizmoDuck]

I've been a drummer for over 35 years, I rarely make KZbin comments, but I have to say this man is the cleanest percussionist I have ever seen. Your limb independence, the beat subdivision, and again the cleanliness you keep in your grooves while traversing your kits is awe-inspiring. I for one have certainly found a few new things to strive for in my practice routines because of your videos. Most importantly, I am truly eager to see the next generation of drummers you inspire from your videos, and what astounding performances they might achieve when they incorporate your techniques and perhaps go beyond what we see here. Please never stop, you are an inspiration to drummers around the world!

[@Tigz8988]

Can someone pin this comment?

[@drums4lyfe0987]

Agreed. I’ve also been playing since I was 3 and I’ll b 40 years. He makes everything look so easy. Sometimes it is fairly basic technique-wise (super fast singles/doubles/hertas). But then he starts pulling out 4 way limb independence and adding (extra) ghost notes to flipping meshuggah and AAL songs like it’s no big deal. Then he does it with one hand drinking “coffee”. And smoking “cigarettes”

I've watched this so many times now. I can't express how incredible this is. You've elevated this to one of my favorite musical tracks of all time. You took a song which was already great, and elevated this with a near perfect performance. Every detail you added, every bit of practice to make this, was absolutely worth it. Nothing feels out of place. This was like watching the first person who climbed Mt. Everest. If you never made anything as good as this again, you could retire satisfied that you added this beautiful piece of music to the world. But you won't retire yet will you? Of course, you're onto the next, and I wish you every single ounce of success, fame, and fortune that comes your way.

I've been playing all my life. Never had to punch a clock. I've put a kid through college on my craft. I say all that to qualify this next statement. There isn't ANYONE like this man. Totally unique to him.

[@larryharperjr]

As someone who has been lucky enough to play and teach (at a very mild level), the thing that amazes me is that no matter how many notes he plays, it never feels 'too busy'. Him and Carter B are the two that come to mind with this unique skill. Everything is musical and there aren't just a wash of notes for more notes sake.

[@hermbobsquarehead]

​@@larryharperjrHi, this might be me being naive but isnt he playing beats and not notes?

[@Rahn-AFK]

@@larryharperjrI think this comes from how tight his playing is. His transitions are butter smooth. He forces some notes into a riff towards the end, but otherwise, I'm 100% with you. Just amazing work. Using stick tricks to accomplish something other than flash, to me, is the magic.

[@Rahn-AFK]

@@hermbobsquarehead This could be argued either way really. Yes, he is playing beats, but the differences in the sounds of techniques he's using paint more of a picture than sitting behind a set and riding the beat. YMMV.

This is not a cover! This is reinventing the drumming on a track

[@joeschmo5171]

It really can’t be overstated that Siberiano is clearly getting better and better with each video. It’s one thing to be able to hold a groove…but it’s a whole other thing to blend so many techniques into a two minute track and add crazy stick razzle-dazzle without missing a single accent or beat. This guy is one of those generation-defining drummers who only comes around once a decade, if we’re lucky. He’s a masterful showman, but above that, he’s an extremely technical artist. Keep it up, bro!🍗🍗

[@elmhurst86]

Lol!

[@matts9]

Just when I thought it was safe to back into the water! The Groovemaster immerges with another astounding cover in the art of the nearly impossible. Improvising with a simple song to make us all realize that we should not limit ourselves to simple boring drum parts. Musically, I just love how you add drum parts to a song to change the depth! Incredible! Coming up on my 59th Birthday, I though I had seen and heard all of the best of the years. My childhood heroes of Neal Peart, Buddy Rich, Carl Palmer, John Bonham and Stewart Copeland were my inspiration! But seeing you play - I just want to say thank you for making drumming fresh again. You have opened a whole new horizon for us all!

Never change man, this was exactly what I needed waking up today ! Stay blessed and go get it every day all of you out there !

[@nunocouto6297]

Hi 😊 Just to say that this brings tears of joy in my smiling face. The precision of the hands in harmony with the feet...just amazing. You are a pure definition of an artist. Keep being humble and use your creativity to inspire others. A big hug 🫂

[@nicoler6539]

I’ve decided at 35 and depressed I’m finally ready to pick up the drums. I JUST discovered your stuff and I’m ready to spend hours for the next several years. Thank you sir. True inspiration

[@landenwood3283]

As a percussionist, dude is actively teaching me what it means to be dedicated. He reminds me what it truly means to put in the time for your passion and your livelihood, as he said in his semi-autobiography, sometimes it's just the desire to perfect a craft, not the craft itself. Respect and appreciation

[@vdecilima]

Já visualizei este vídeo várias vezes e não me canso de admirar, Cara você toca demais !!

[@IvanOMahony]

Thank you. Any time I hear this song, anywhere, El Estepario's version is what I hear. For that, I will be, forever thankful.

[@Anthonyhartas]

The true definition of an expert is the person who can do something so mind blowing and make it look like there’s no effort involved whatsoever! I absolutely love this guy! 🤘🏻

[@pascualperez6692]

I just can’t stop smiling every time I see you playing . Truly a masterpiece.

[@brandonlopes7642]

The weeknd needs to bring you on to perform this song..such a legendary performance one of my favorite videos to watch over and over on youtube..you are a force..forca!

[@mahkev2000]

This is the most incredible drumming I've ever seen. If youtube existed for one thing, I would hope it would be for just this. So inspiring. El Estepario, you are truly an international treasure! On behalf of the drumming community, world wide, you truly are amazing! Keep it up!

[@CreateClassicMusicPlaylists]

This mother trucker is THE GREATEST DRUMMER in the WORLD. Complete mastery of the instrument. Love you my guy.

[@tobiasroder1163]

Man, you are a perfect drum machine combined with pure sense of musicality. A true artist with endless skills. Thanks for this new version. Never stop, never give up practicing.

[@PJBASS8225]

Just started the drums at 46. Been a guitarist forever but always wanted to play. This is stupidly inspirational! I'll play every day for hours just to be half as good as this!

[@roberthenson3797]

Truly created a new ceiling for drummers. Absolutely insane

[@razvaniulian1209]

This cover is BY FAR THE BEST of those he played till now. And the most technic. And the most difficult. And the most beautiful. El StepALIENO Siberiano... Simply EPIC!

[@LampyGames]

Anyone else think this is his best one yet?

[@okeemusic]

Absolutely agreed

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

early favorite for best drum performance, stick musmagicianship(probably not a word) . bassdrum foottalion, , accent, and a shoo-in for drum fill (the last big one) of the century

[@VincentJaconski]

I love this guy. His speed, transitions, flow, timing, and foot work is amazing. Drum on. Been at it 25 years plus. This is art

[@joeewing9364]

That transition into the second chorus at 2:00 was slick 👌🏼

[@Lu-dm7rn]

I'm still trying to get my jaw back in place, that was really sick indeed!!

[@jordenshaw6338]

He does it at 1:00, too lol.

[@ChristianIstKeinCO2Schwurbler]

A Super-slo-mo would be helpful for me to understand what he did all together in that second. 🤖

[@band.batiscafo]

@@ChristianIstKeinCO2Schwurbler You can use the KZbin player's built-in speed control, set it at 0.5x or 0.25x and you can see the movements better ;)

[@ChristianIstKeinCO2Schwurbler]

@@band.batiscafo Thanks a lot! But that's not slow enough. 😄

[@EdglerVess]

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, this dude comes along.

[@scampanimation]

I must have played this a hundred times. My favourite video of yours. You've absolutely smashed this.

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

Watched this so many times despite hating this song. A testament to this beast's epic creativity

[@leefchapman]

This is absolutely mesmerising. Captivating and tasteful but technically elevating a track can only be done by a masterful musician.

[@biggieBoy84]

I know nothing about drums, drumming or drummers, but somehow even i know that what i just saw was special. You must have an amazing work ethic to become so talented. Really enjoyed this.

[@stevecvntnikoslawyer4181]

01:00 .... is a godly transition. Soooo smooth.

[@DJSpatula]

I have goosebumps, I am exhausted, my jaw hit the floor, then it went past the floor, I found myself sweating and I can't tell if you are even human. This was fantastic!

[@toaster816]

DJ Spatula! Haha phenomenal

[@nickmcquabbie4348]

that's double bass before the "Oooo" gets me every time! killed it hands down!!!!! 🤙🤟

[@baethamora]

You are a cure for depression. Keep shining, magical artist!

[@justin7509]

Putting the obvious talent and skill aside for a moment: the tone on your kit is absolutely phenomenal. The snare, tom and bass are tuned to perfection. I don't know if you maintain your kit or if it's a studio tech, but whoever it is is an artisan of the highest tier.

[@HoneyWineHandyMan]

Dude.... you are reinventing drumming. And we are ALL here for it! You are amazing man. Keep em coming. Thank you for sharing your skills, and lessons with the world.

[@kmirandakondo]

My soul feels joy when I here this guy play. My respect. My favorite drummer ever.

[@SolidBased]

Danny Carey #1 no questions behind Neil purt then Jordy then Ole El E!!!

[@georgedotnet]

just when I think this guy has done every amazing trick I can think of, he pulls out that one handed hi-hat action at 1:18. Jesus Christ

[@YSN247]

OMG! Your drumming doesn’t just set the rhythm-it cranks my heartbeat up to 11! You’ve officially turned my day into a rock anthem!

[@joeaddison7120]

A once in a lifetime talent. Changing the way drums are played. Truly innovative

[@elmhurst86]

Lol! Lots of great drummers out there. He's not changing anything.

[@elmhurst86]

@@joeaddison7120 Lol! Ok. Please enlighten us. Out of all the rudiments in our drumming vocabulary, the paradiddle is the one you chose to show us how much you know? Jorge would be impressed.
