Damn, this is probably one of the most genuine things I’ve seen in a long while! Dude has no ego, no superiority complex whatsoever and he doesn’t care what people think of him and to give such a raw look into his life and character is putting himself in a very vulnerable place!!

[@randywalton9679]

I do believe he broke my inertia. I've been working since 2019(start of the "pandemic") to regain my health I didn't know I lost until I couldn't get to the gym. but I'm 90% back and no longer feeling older than my age(63). The Groovefathers' story and your/the fans take on this marvelous man has got me PUMPED to finish my path I started in 1986 to make ART. The Spark is Real. Peace All Li'l Wally with Gratitude🙏

[@bradseibert8261]

to4507 I absolutely like what you wrote. I feel the exact same way you do. it's amazing for someone to open up to tell you they're depressed and to lay out what's been going on with him for years, I don't know when I've heard anything like that in years from anybody. that's the kind of guy you want to hang around you want to get to know even more because he's real, doesn't have an ego like you said. this was one amazing video and I'm super inspired and I thank you for your comments because you're right on track and I feel the same way this guy is amazing and his drumming is through the roof, I've been drumming for 30 years. so I love the drums just like he has. anyway thank you for your comments we both understand this guy is very fucking cool. 😮

[@tobiasklenk7661]

Leider kann ich nur auf deutsch antworten. Aber wenn du Musiker bist ist alles andere egal, mach bitte weiter Musik, Menschen kommen, Menschen gehen, doch Musik bleibt für immer. Musik ist Leben. Musik ist wie Physik, nein Musik ist Physik! Ich kann leider kein Instrument spielen, ich benutze Computer dafür, aber das ist nicht das selbe 🤷‍♂️. Künstler wie Du mit einem Talent müssen es leben, wir müssen Menschen finden die zusammen Musik machen. Dieses Video und die Worte die er sagt sind sowas von perfekt. 👍🎼🎤🥁🎸

interesting too in that one of his choices in higher education was sociology... being a close relative to psychology and look, the universities gave up on him but he is inspiring others regardless@@alexcam6805

[@alisonsneed3707]

I’m not sure he is a musician. Above all he is a mathematician, trying to split beats into smaller and smaller fractions. It’s also a spiritual exercise to push where no man has gone before.

[@lowandodor1150]

@@tobiasklenk7661Hey, hab das mal schnell übersetzt, falls das gewünscht ist. Translation of his reply in German to English: Unfortunately, i can only reply in German. But when you are a musician, nothing else really matters, please keep on making music, people come, people go, but music stays forever. Music is life. Music is like physics, no, music IS physics. Unfortunately, i cannot play an instrument, i use the computer for it, but that's not the same. Artists like you with such a talent must live it, we have to find people who want to make music together. This video and the words he says are so perfect.

[@aronomaoileoin9603]

In all my years I've never heard someone say they wanted to drum for drums and not music, very inspirational!!

[@daveristic7895]

I started drumming in 2004, and to this day I have never jammed with anyone else or played a gig. No one understands this lol. For me, it is about learning the drum part of songs that I either a) love, or b) songs that I feel challenged by. When my weaknesses are exposed while learning the song, I work on the weakness until I feel like playing that song is a fuckin joy, not an exercise. Many days for me also consist of just having a playlist of songs that I love playing and then just playing along….no exercises or trying to learn something new. I have absolutely zero desire to play with anyone else lol. I am nowhere near the skill or talent level of this guy, but I can totally relate to it being all about the drums and nothing to do with playing music.

I was raised up hearing "if your going to do something go in 100% or do not do it" basically. PURPOSE is so huge for a man also, trust me at 60 & widowed, retired I am finding it very very difficult to go all in on anything [failing physically & cognitive[?] & $$] kind of getting sluggish......[or weak in my purpose maybe?] I could run on but YES brother it happens, and you will find it if you keep looking, moving forward....hell even sideways helps for me 60 lmao! The other attribute maybe "No FeaR" of others or anything. oh also PICTURE it !!! → We do not get what we WANT really, but what we PICTURE. But yes that requires a clear target......[or] purpose !!!

What an articulated and passionate young man. Spain should be proud !

[@ElitePortraits]

Spain doesn't deserve him. Like him, many great people got fucked because of the system we have there. And knowing how spanish mentality works in politics, i bet they would use him for their own benefict as an excuse cos "he is a very passionate dedicated Spanish citizen.. i would say: Fkoff and let me do my shit in peace.

[@DrVinylBcn]

Spain have a lot of talent this is just a example.

[@JuanPerez-lr3bn]

That is what I was thinking! His English is perfect! 👌👌👌

[@SuperWeissmuller]

Spain is still usually a shit hole for talent; luck of opportunities for really talented people that end up in mediocrity, resentful, and voting for the worst politicians ever that cater to that resentfulness. This begins in schools and continues in unis and in the work place. The main reason is that Spaniards are insecure (wrong education) thus are afraid of talent (in various ways) and tend to mutilate it (in various ways).

[@depechex]

Oh we are, we definitely are proud of him.

[@DrumZada]

“I don’t believe in talent, hard work can achieve anything” well said and well deserved !!!👏🏻

[@erikak8187]

You could have not said it any better.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

Except its definitely not true. We could all practice sprinting perfectly everyday but we'll never be Usain Bolt. All of the greatest musicians all worked like crazy but for every Paul Gilbert or Steve Vai there are 100k other people who practiced just as much as them but aren't nearly as good. At the end of the day 99.999% of people could never reach the very top level of any skill without being born with an exceptional natural ability. It doesn't mean we shouldn't all strive to be our best though. This guy definitely worked his ass off but he was also born with a natural predisposition to be a amazing drummer.

[@forcedtoexist6221]

"Talent is nothing but sweat" someone more intelligent than me once said. I might add that passion motivates you to sweat...

[@V8Roehrldrifter]

@@ButterBallTheOpossum Fully agree. I like to use Usain Bolt too when explaining this topic. In my opinion there are 3 things that defines how a person develops: Genetics, Parenthood and Social Influence outside of home. For example, a simple question for Parenthood influence is "Who bought him the percussion when he was 12 and additionally gave him the possibility to play somewhere without beeing killed by his parents or neighbours?" Talent+work is unbeatable by: No talent+no work, talent+no work, no talent+work.

Tela marinera con este tío. Qué vida tan intensa, qué buenas tablas parece que te ha dado y lo mejor, que te han servido para verlo todo de otra forma y cambiarlo todo. Con 3 años más que tú y una vida también movidita, me he sentido bastante identificado. A los 25, hasta que no dejé de hacer el tonto conmigo mismo y me empecé a tomar en serio no obtuve cambios en mi vida. Dando el 100% como bien dices y algún día con ganas de mandar todo a la mierda, pero eh, eso ya ha pasado. Todo ha ido viento en popa y estoy muy orgulloso por dónde estoy (y a dónde iré)... Qué buenas palabras y espero que motiven a muchos otros chavalines (y no tan chavalines) para ponerse las pilas... ¡Un abrazo desde Galicia!

[@nicksothep8472]

I understand why he doesn't want to be in a band, particularly after his horrible experiences, but mark my words, as soon as his energy lowers, which is natural for healthy human beings, he'll be given the chance to play with some amazing band and earn enough to create a little empire. This is a solid dude, a man of principle, and will deserve every good thing coming at him.

Thank you ❤ - you're f___n awesome 🎉. 🌠 🌈 🤗. Go on with exactly that, what you love to do. It will always be your destiny to drum like hell 🔥😝🤘🏻. Best wishes from s/w germany 🤗

[@jtjt3823]

What an incredibly sincere story. Sounds like you can do anything that you choose to be your priority. You have the self discipline to work and study which will likely lead to success wherever you choose to apply it. And man, your drumming is impressive! Thank you for sharing

[@CosmicVoidWalker]

CONGRATS My Friend! Your 1Million is non-describable in words how much you deserve it! You will ALWAYS have my vote not just for your drumming skills but for the main reason which is YOU ARE REAL! Nowadays in this world there seems to be a dwindling population of REAL PEOPLE. You are Real, no BS, and you seem to me to be a very humble man and happy with your life where it's at. I have been a fan for a little over a year now and I will continue to be until you close the door on your channel. CONGRATS again on your 1 million. Much Love and Respect to you El Estepario Siberiano My hats off to you Sir!

[@clukait]

KING_VoidWalker, Even if I haven't subscribed to Estepario for long, but you speak my heart out. You are so right! All the best to you all.👍👍👍❤

[@CosmicVoidWalker]

@@clukait Thank you Sir...I just call them like I see them... That old saying is call a spade a spade! Because it can't be anything else but a spade.. Maybe if the Universe aligns properly one day, then maybe we will get a chance to shake this man's hand and we can tell him in person thank you. I'm sure he's done more for people than he even realizes. 🤘👽🤘 🥁

Man I know exactly how you feel, I’ve been playing music as long as I can remember, since I was just 5 years old I’ve been playing piano and guitar. Later on I picked up drums after joining percussion in school when I was about 13, I was absolutely obsessed with drums at first and it became my passion to get better and better. The main difference to your story is my whole life since I was just a kid I thought the one thing I wanted to do was play music because that was what I loved. Fast forward a little while and I ended up at a college of music for jazz studies in drum set, for so long I had just practiced to get better and better, but I reached a point in college when I realized I didn’t care to get any better, I could play just about anything I wanted to. But that’s also when I realized, I didn’t get anything out of playing music anymore. When I look back I remember a time when playing was so fun and it just made me happy, but I can’t pinpoint the moment I stopped loving it, I just got caught up in the endless hours of practice trying to get better and I lost all of the gratification of playing. I hated playing, started hating myself too because all I knew was music and that was a direct reflection of myself. I stopped going to classes, barely made it to my lessons, and quit practicing. Didn’t take long for me to flunk out. Now I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do with myself. Maybe I could try my hand at making videos of myself like he did to at least document that I can even play but I haven’t practiced in months and I don’t know that I’ll get anything out of it. I’m thinking about going to school for a trade or something like that at this point, but it definitely feels like I’ve wasted my entire life on something I may never enjoy again. Unfortunately there’s not much of a happy ending to my story so far, but I’m at least much happier than I was when I was in college. Thank you for reading this if you have I know there are many others who probably feel the same

[@sbf_fox2434]

I think the secret of life is to find happiness. If music no longer makes you happy, maybe you will find something that does. I think the trades can be satisfying because you help create, repair or maintain things. For me, those actions are satisfying.

[@Footy_Fan]

WOW, Mr. Garrido. This is one of my all-time favorite videos. Not only are you most likely the greatest drummer in the world, you are equally as special of a human being. I had to sell my drum kit, golf clubs, and bowling ball when my health went bad. Fortunately, there are special people in the world that I live vicariously through now. As a 53 year old man who b also suffers from depression, I can tell you that I absolutely wish I could hang out with you for one day. What a total inspiration and kind person you are. God bless you, Brother.

[@roccolobosco5499]

Over many decades, I have listened to hundreds of world-class drummers, from the 20s to present day, across many genres (classical, jazz, rock, fusion, etc.) but I have never heard ANYONE do what you do on a kit. You play in an other-worldly realm. It surely is what you what meant to do.

[@aaronribnicky9917]

You are actually achieving your first goal, which was just to be better. University and bands might not have been the answer. It's the essence of Zen, drums are just the vehicle to make a better human being. You're killing it

[@christopherwoodson7162]

Damn, that's deep. I didn't even think about that way. Dang 🥹

[@stjm2974]

Thank you for your authenticity! I love watching your drumming. It is amazing how far you can push yourself. Keep the videos coming, we your fans enjoy them! It makes our days better!

[@michealhull3646]

Thank brother🙏 This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I'm a guitarist/bassist and over the years I have dedicated myself 100% to it learning literally 100's of songs and starting several bands only to have everything fail no matter how hard I try. Its hard to find people just as dedicated😒 Doing all this while working full time jobs and hating my life. Now I'm 43 and have a family and lately because of the pressures of life. I've reached a point of feeling as depressed as I was when I was when I was 11 years old and lost my father way before I'd started my journey as a musician at the age of 16. It is the only reason I'm alive today, because if it weren't for finding my passion, I would've ended it all a long time ago😔 But your words and your passion for what you do have inspired me not to give up🙂 I love your videos❤ You're amazingly talented and funny. Please keep doing what you love because people love you for it🤘

[@Adamtfrank]

It’s never too late my friend . I do everything myself bass drums piano guitar record write sing e.t.c.. and I stopped for almost 7 years due to “ life “ and now it’s been 3 years since I rebuilt a studio and started playing and recording writing and having fun with it . Eventually I’ll find people to play with or maybe not! Keep your head up brotha man! You’re not alone

[@patrickparks2042]

I bet he has hours on hours of cut videos that are funny as shit the time and hours he put in he probably can create a whole other channel of bloopers

[@mst8nf0rd]

I think this is probably the greatest compliment someone like him could get...don't ever give up, mano!!! Keep playing FOR YOU!!!

[@masbro5201]

i feel you man,, was in the same stage as you (or maybe still 😄) but i try to keep playin',,, even if i don't have any band, i'll try to keep playin', for fun, for myself, for my dream, for my hobby, for my passion. Satisfy your soul man.. keep playin'

[@qualitydag1]

You are an inspiration for anybody at any age who needs to have an example of determination as well as how to deal with depression and meaninglessness. Your life is worth much more than just your drumming. You're drumming makes it possible for millions of people to know about you but you're honesty and willingness to reach out with your story is much more important than even your drumming is. So many millions of people need an example of how to keep on keeping on. Man, your life is very purposeful with a shitload of meaning in it. From an ex drummer, my hat's off to you!!!

[@randygreen007]

🙏

[@U4Eye]

What a great testimony...Admitting you are not in control your life and addiction.. Recognizing a higher power can give strength Examining past mistakes Making amends Living a new way of life Helping others👍

[@stevekulacz7824]

I've been watching you for over a year now like so many other people I was completely blown away you are force of nature you were doing things on the drums that have never been seen God bless and you deserve all the success that is coming to you

[@margarethenderson3129]

What an amazing message from a humble guy. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@Ibiron]

Follow your bliss young man, keep it real, keep the dream alive. I’ve been playing drums for over 50 year and I still suck, but I only play for myself and I love the connection that I have between my drums and I. When I listen to you play I get that feeling all over again, even at 70 years old. So, with all that shit being said, keep on inspiring the world don’t ever stop. Keep that love flowing. Look at what you’ve done ! Drumming is love made visible and real.

[@ChewbaccaPez]

Your personality and unbelievable talent has warranted many more subscribers to come.

[@Technic859]

The message is powerful. Thank you.

[@erikt2989]

Man I just enjoy watching what you’ve dedicated your life to. I’m no musician but all I can say you are amazing!!!

[@chadpitcher9342]

This is very inspirational. I am saying this as a 51 year old drummer. This makes me want to be better. Thank you for sharing.

[@brodydixon5258]

Brother, you have changed my life for sure. Depression sucks, you helped get me out of that by posting your talent. Thank you!

[@jamesrobertson6255]

What a true gentleman! He’s the proof, that you can do it all if you try. He’s a truthful and humble guy! True to his cause! To be better than yesterday! Thanks man, you’re very inspiring. Please take care, and be safe. Never stop playing……for yourself and sharing.👍

[@joeyfisher5345]

Dude, it´s incredible what you´ve been through and your so honest, sharing everything that didn´t work and how you moved on. I´m also a person who had it pretty rough, especially in school. Because of my autism I´m quite limited on a lot of different stuff. I don´t have a job (yet and maybe will never have), but music is my biggest interest ever. I love to listen to so much different music, I play drums a little, but prefer playing on my keyboard, cuz it´s cooler for me I guess. I don´t do it that often though but I still love doing it. But what I love even more is singing. I just feel free when I´m singing and always enjoyed it and I also learned a thing or two. I need to mention that I love Rock and Metal music but listen to a variety of different music genres. I love doing it as a hobby and maybe it would someday save my butt from financial crises, who knows. Your speech was very inspirational and I think I learned more about what is actually important in life, specifically when you have something you love to do, to just keep on going with what we have and to appreciate it before it´s gone. Your personality is great and you care so much about what´s really important in life. Nowadays it´s not easy to stay on the right track but you can still try your best and live a good life while you still can. It never was easy for me and I guess it never will. Stay safe too!

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

In a world full of people spouting fabricated garbage about success, themselves, social morals and all the rest, this video is outstandingly authentic and genuine. Thanks for sharing all that, and I hope it develops further into deserved successes.

[@AlexanderDrums01]

Congratulations, your drumming isn’t amazing it is LEGENDARY one that’ll be remembered, you deserve everything you’ve worked so hard for

[@willceli5977]

I'm not a drummer, I'm a guitarist, but man!! You are the real deal!! I saw one KZbin short of you and I've been hooked. I will always respect other musician's and other instruments and when I saw you, I was absolutely blown away. To top it off, you play for yourself, but I'm so thankful you are sharing your unbelievable talent and you're here to inspire others to keep pushing and to keep practicing whatever it may be. Regardless of what has happened in your life, you are here for a reason. Your purpose is to bring joy, excitement, and a new light of what can be and will be done. Well done and I look forward to more videos of you and your hilarious antics lol Much love and respect

[@adrianchineaamoros3230]

Estepario, gracias por compartir tu historia. Está llena de buenas pistas de cómo vivir la vida al máximo. Muchas bendiciones

[@jglasser]

Your hard work has not gone unnoticed and you are one of my favorite musicians to watch. Even if you helped only one person to become a better musician, you have still made the world a better place! Thank you for your years of dedication! You are amazing!

[@Buttface1981]

In 2 days he goes from a 1 million sub special to 1.46 million. Crazy and well deserved!

[@72ChevyK5]

Inspirational story, brother, loved it! You have found your new purposes in life, and drumming is just a small part of it. You are a motivational speaker and need to be in front of people, specifically youth, encouraging them on their own trials. Keep up the good work, love your message.

[@grahamkeedy8490]

Thanks for sharing your story mate. I’m so glad you started documenting your work and that you’re still here with us! You definitely have a gift (albeit a hard-earned one) that I’m so glad you decided to share with the world. Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@nancysewell6670]

Jorge, I’m glad you exist and here’s my small bump to your algorithms! I’ll copy to a bunch of your videos! My reasons? 1. I’m not a drummer and haven’t listened to much music for years (I’m into books right now). I’ve never enjoyed watching drummers do their thing outside of a song. Despite that, you have grabbed my attention and I’ve dipped into music styles I don’t even enjoy and discovered artists that are great! Your mesmerizing drumming and the pure entertainment raised them to something worth watching again and again! Wow! I’ve listened to more music in the past couple months than in the last decade! Thank you! 2. You are funny, authentic, intelligent, incredibly disciplined and skilled. (You are also some real eye candy, but that wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t for your inner qualities!) What impresses me is that you want to pass on your life lessons, knowledge and skills to others and inspire them on their own journey. That’s big! Huge!!! We need more people in the world like that! 3. As a side note, in your Million Views video you mentioned that something in your character drives you to do correctly whatever you’re doing. That can be a blessing or a curse, but when I listened to your Mike Portnoy video and your story about your girl related reasons for learning his song, I just started laughing. Your drive to do things ‘correctly’ could be a blessing for your partners! 4. Thank you for enriching my life and I wish you fulfillment, success and happiness as you ‘lay pipe’ in your own life’s journey! Life is short, go for it! Nancy from the States!

[@earthlingT]

very nicely said! 💜

What a tremendous testimony. Thanks for sharing your story with us. You are a great inspiration to many.

I respected you so much based on your skills and personality before you said a word. I watched this and now I have DOUBLE the level of respect I had before. Keep it up man. You deserve the level of success you're achieving.

[@davidharshman2041]

You are thanking us viewers when we should be thanking you! I am sure that I am not alone when I say, you have given purpose to many of us. Or better yet, have shown us a path to finding our own.

[@SeraphOfTheNine]

Thanks for the kind words of motivation and sharing your story. Good luck and godspeed with all future endeavours

[@alainlefebvre9860]

Five months since you posted this video and you're well over 2.5M subs. Congrats! Found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm totally amazed at your abilities and talents. Seems like you've found that reason for being. You're an example to us all. Hard work has paid off. Keep up the fantastic videos!!! 🥁🥁

[@adamwildman2053]

At time of my post he's almost 3Mil subs

[@hectorandrade8833]

It really hit me hard when he said, “I had nothing else to do, I felt like I had wasted my whole life because what I wanted to do suddenly disappeared so I just tried to focus all of that energy into something else.” I can’t imagine how crazy it must have felt at that moment 😓

[@Jizden_Mipanz]

So honored to be a part of your journey my friend!!! Please keep it up! You're and inspiration to the world! You found your purpose!

[@TraderManga]

Incredible testimony, I see in your example a way forward. God be with you!
