[@DrumeoOfficial]

Precise, soulful, and groovy 👌🏼Amazing job, Eloy! If you want to try this and many other drumless songs, get a 7-Day Free trial to check out Drumeo! 👉🏼 www.drumeo.com/trial

[@Chalepastel]

i know you didn't mix him to sound like this, but it's hilarious hearing Vulfpeck with like a +12db on drums

[@jonospin]

I love it, amazing playing for this track....perfect hits etc

[@HoopGrooves]

I feel like we need to bring on El estepario Siberiano, with chad smith that would be so entertaining!

[@user-hf9dx9ed5o]

Do you guys have a NIN, The Perfect Drug drum solo. I'd love to see that happen.

Eloy did such a great work! What a great video! Thank you, Drumeo! ❤

[@qiminong5634]

Now I want to see the Vulfpeck drummer do a Sepultura track EDIT: Or maybe a Slipknot track?

[@rjones6801]

Underrated comment.

[@NotDingse]

There are two alternating drummers in Vulfpeck and both are technically very skilled having gone to The University of Michigan’s School of Music. I have a feeling Theo (the one who drums and sings on the song in this video) would be best fitted for metal, but then again, both are very much focused on funk and playing in the pocket/groove. It would be interesting tho, as metal drumming varies so much from all other forms of drumming despite the influence that goes both ways.

[@TrungPham-iq7yo]

Hahaa😂

[@callanc3925]

I wanna see nate smith do animals as leaders and matt gartska do fearless flyers

[@NotDingse]

@@callanc3925 nate is a fucking beast!

[@smjohnst]

I hate that he says he "ruined the song". I think this was one of the best one of these videos in the whole series. His take was so clean and still really funky and groovy. I thought he did an amazing job.

[@beussta]

yeah i liked his final take too

[@n1c3s43]

i like this one aswell, my fav is still Frank Bellucis Dragula, but this is definitely not ruined the song. just a different take on it

[@stone5against1]

He really did a good job, but I think he was half-joking when he said he ruined it, since right after he went "I almost did the same thing!"

[@Exalt92]

Since drums and especially cymbals are usually toned down on recordings his take would have actually made a great fit!

[@guillermorodriguezcoore4856]

I think that he has really big standards, just that. Not a Sepultura fan, but this guy it's really really REALLY good musician. Not only drummer. He nedeed more time to get the light touch that the style demanded, nothing more.

[@yarrbraxas]

This guy is so humble and awesome. He's so nervous and worried about getting it right and at the end he says "Please don't send me any bad comments, I'm sorry, I ruined the song" and I'm sitting here thinking dude, you're the drummer of Sepultura. You did an awesome job with your interpretation and you play crazier shit on stage than I could ever dream of even imagining. Great job man, you didn't ruin anything.

[@MrRgevert]

indeed

[@Nabu78]

Totally agree and so inspired as you from Leo drumming and humility!! Awesome job!!

[@bregottmannen2706]

you gotta dream to imagine, my guy

[@youget2]

He nailed it too

[@zactogepi6824]

And now the drummer for Slipknot

[@alefeans]

I had the opportunity to study drums with the master Alexandre Aposan at EMT in São Paulo, the same place where Eloy was also teaching. One day, me, Aposan and another student were talking between the classes, when we heard someone playing drums in another room. The other guy asked Aposan if it was Eloy and he simply replied “Nah… if it was Eloy, the building would be shaking”.

[@kryptothesuperdawg8043]

Dude came up with a 100% harder take on the song and really worked his ass off to make it right with a big smile in his face.

[@dinkelberchs3697]

and then he goes "I ruined the song" lmao nah man, that was massively impressive!

[@elliaselliyasa3885]

Should play Arise

[@TDrhum]

harder take, i dont think so. different for sure.

[@TDrhum]

he didnt ruined it but he changed it a lot in the groove, that why he said that. he's not in the energy of the original song@@dinkelberchs3697

[@angelojantsch]

he's brazilian... we do everything with a smile 😅

[@joelblizzard160]

This guy is far too humble. He was right in the pocket for his entire final take. Probably one of the best of these I've seen.

[@pietzsche]

He's probably the best metal drummer in the world right now lol, he's unreal.

[@Chris-px2gf]

He is and being this humble is such an amazing quality to have at that level@@pietzsche

[@pietzsche]

@@Chris-px2gf Absolutely, the covers he does on his own channel are insane, tiny little changes but the effect is unreal. I honestly don't understand how every band in the world isn't clamouring to have him play for them

[@Chris-px2gf]

@@pietzsche I think he is pretty content with Sepultura, taking into account that he's been there for a long time now, probably doesn't want to change groups because he's being loyal as well, I can only assume. But I'm pretty sure he gets tons of offers.

[@pietzsche]

@@Chris-px2gf He must be, because he's better than a lot of drummers in bigger bands. I've seen lots of metal drummers comment on this and be baffled too. One thing I'd think helps is that he is a big latin drummer so Sepultura probably gives him room for that, that he wouldn't have elsewhere.

[@tycho_m]

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could watch this video and not instantly become a lifelong fan of Eloy Casagrande. Even if you don't like metal at all. What an exemplary human and exceptional musician!

[@jeffwelty4817]

Completely agree! Eloy is super fun to watch and he did an amazing job.

[@francescofinucci]

true that. You wouldn't think anything bad of him, and not because he's an immensely talented drummer (which he is), but because of how humble he is.

[@jeremystig98]

I'm a massive Vulfpeck fan and been a drummer for 14 years, and that was a good take in my opinion! Yeah he may have played too loud for the low volume funk that Vulfpeck is, but it was very groovy, the ride cymbal part he did was amazing, very creative and he didn't overplay it, no massive fills or double bass here. Kudos to him! I also used to play a lot of metal, so i know how different it is to Funk.

[@An_Arbitrary_Miscellany]

100% man. He nailed the essential groove of the song. And a lot of that 'Vulfpeck sound' is just as much down to mic-ing and mixing as it is dynamics, so I think he did awesomely well.

[@buckminsterowski]

there was a cheeky little double kick in there haha

[@cassady7169]

They boost the drum volume because that is the spotlight of the video.

[@CarGuy1807]

Its awesome how well he was able to adapt his style to a completely different genre.

[@EversonBernardes]

Despite being known mostly for rock and metal drumming, Eloy has studied a lot of afro-latin and brazilian rhythms under Lenilson Silva, Lauro Lellis and Vera Figueiredo. Dude got a pretty well-rounded musical base.

[@djabthrash]

@@EversonBernardes Exactly. And what he does in Sepultura is already diverse and well rounded.

[@krusher74]

its a funk song in 4/4. I would have been more impressed if he had worked a bit more metal and a little double bass into it

[@GuiMedina]

@@EversonBernardes and dont forget Casagrande & Hanysz. That sounds crisp af

[@boomboxxhero9362]

Why? Everyone and their mom is incorporating metal and double bass into everything. I'd rather someone take a step back and not blast beat over every song.@@krusher74

[@clarenceoveur9497]

Eloy is the real deal! People don't realize how well rounded he actually is. He transcended the "metal" stereotype a long long time ago, even though he loves to talk himself down but in reality there's not much he couldn't play with accuracy and authenticity. What an accomplished musician!

[@lightvideovideo]

actually is more likely he transcended the others genres and them came to metal 😂

[@boriscareaway5862]

Lol, what metal stereotype? Haven’t you seen him on Modern Drummer fest when he was 13 or 14? Dude was already a full package all the way. I’d risk to say he dialed himself a bit down to not blow away everyone ( he still did, yeah)

[@pachvandio]

Growing up in Brazil will do that to you. I grew up there and it’s amazing to see in the midst of the “Brazilian” genres you will find people avidly enjoying/consuming so many other international styles (rock, pop, etc).

[@lollipop84858]

What do you mean people don't realize?? Who doesn't realize?? Pretty sure everyone into drumming and many who aren't realize that

[@frottery]

lol op isn't aware that eloy's entry was as a child playing insane jazz bossa samba but kaaaaaaaaaaay internetizen

[@HybridCult]

So did anyone notice that between the first take and final was only like half an hour... based on Brandon's phone. Eloy got that performance in under an hour.

[@jeffersonfernandes7573]

That’s insanely good if not to say almost impossible. Lol

[@kernicterus1233]

Gotta be honest, this is my favourite 'for the first time' vid. Hearing the snapshots of the learning process really supported the notion that 'the more you practice the better you get', his passion for not doing any disservice to the track was beautiful, and frankly Eloy, you did a magnificent job.

[@nqht8124]

A drumeo vid about vulfpeck is probably one of the least expected yet greatest Christmas gift ever

[@jonathanbernardestavares]

Incredible how he learned all those nuances in just a few takes, as a drummer myself I think this was the most difficult song I've seen on any of these "drumeo first time" series

[@dreadsasho]

Well "The Summoning" was a tad harder. I wish I could see him try it.

[@jonathanbernardestavares]

I haven't watched that yet, it might be harder yes

[@specshots556]

Dennis Chambers playing Schism couldn't of been a cakewalk either

[@MrRgevert]

nope

[@annoorange123]

No way this is he hardest. Tool time signature changing is impossible to play to with just a couple takes, they are very nerdy with their compositions. And sleep token had very different styles in the same song, a lot of nuances that are very precisely placed in the original track. This wasn't an easy one, but for sure not the hardest

[@anonimosanonimosclub]

Coisa linda! Só ler os comentarios aqui e ver o resultado da disciplina e pé no chão do eloy. Orgulho dos musicos brasileiros

[@jorgemarsili943]

Sudamérica 🤘

[@rickcosta6062]

fique feliz vendo o take final!!! que foda!

[@robertcroix]

Eloy Casagrande is such a humble dude while being an absolute killer on the drums. He played this track better than I've heard many drummers who actually know the song. Straight fire!

[@Rythym4god]

Not gonna lie, that final take was pretty dang good. Great mix of groove and rock drive and power!

[@vara_v]

If you had told me that he’s a funk/ soul drummer, I wouldn’t have doubted that he wasn’t one. His dynamic, his sounds are just right.

[@MrSkme]

Absolutely not. His feel is way too laidback and big. There is no drive in his version. He never lets the music breathe and the other instruments shine, just constant hammering away. If you had told me he's a funk/soul drummer i'd say it sounds like a great metal drummer trying to play funk/soul. But i'll grant that the drum kit sound doesn't fit at all which definitely doesn't help.

[@MusicByAngels]

It's clear that this isn't the type of music that he plays the most. His playing is big and rock oriented. But so what, that's the point of the video: to take him out of his main area of expertise and comfort. A great jazz drummer or soul drummer would not necessarily nail the metal drum sound perfectly either. It's not what they spend time on 👌

[@tylerdurden783]

Yeah, no, he is nowhere near as tight and in the pocket as a band like Vulfpeck needs. He's too "splashy"

[@MrSkme]

@@MusicByAngels I agree, but this comment section makes him out to be the greatest funk drummer that has ever existed.

[@tilled6695]

you just ignorant and its okay@@MrSkme

[@matcap2010]

This was probably the hardest challenge I've ever seen at Drumeo. Congratulations Eloy!

[@tmcdowell5986]

Dude, there's nothing you need to apologize for. You made 11 minutes and 20 seconds of my day alot more enjoyable. Thank you.

[@joeldrummer23]

I love how he always wants to learn the song, vibe , and attitude…. Eloy is awesome

[@PneumaNoose]

He really is. My favorite drummer of all time will always be Danny Carey, but I am OBSESSED with watching Eloy because of the WAY he drums. It’s like every muscle in his neck and shoulders comes through to his fingertips. I cannot get enough of him. And I could listen to him speak all day. Such a delightful human being.

[@honnayb33]

@pneumanoose I agree literally with everything that you've said.

[@PneumaNoose]

@@honnayb33 right?! I’m a brand new drumming student and I just cannot get enough of his videos. He brightens my days when I am struggling to learn coordination and simple beats. I just met Danny Carey, too (my all time idol) and there’s just something about drummers that equates to the secret of happiness, so I must press on! LOL

[@WeekendAtBidens266]

He’s got a great feel and deep pocket. That was impressive! Seems like a super cool dude too.

[@otherworldsnaps]

I'm not a drummer, but I absolutely love this series. It's cool to see how different it is for me, as a guitarist, to learn a song versus a drummer learning a song. Awesome!

[@jmac1013]

Same. I don't know why he was so hard on himself. I loved what he played.

[@zarr_music4797]

But can you imagine only hearing the drums and then supposed to see how close you come to making the original guitar part? 😂

[@otherworldsnaps]

lol impossible! If you could hear the bass, then it would be slightly less impossible. It would be fun to try though, then laugh at how badly I did!@@zarr_music4797

[@billrhea]

Me too

[@GeraldGonzalez757]

As a guitarist I agree with your whole comment. I really appreciate every drummer I ever worked with even more now, their jobs are not easy.

[@austinbridge]

Literally one of the best first time playthroughs in the history of this series. Please relay all of this love to him. He is so hard on himself.

[@esjel9804]

His feel was so incredible. I felt as if Steve Gad was playing this track. He held back so much and didn't shred on it. He was very humble. He's a perfectionist, so he'll always be hard on himself. He totally got the correct feel of the song. He got the grove, something many of the drummers that have come through have not been able to do, even on simpler songs. He killed it! Bravo!

[@Whathefleck]

Eloy is not only a phenomanal drummer, he's such a cool and humble dude.. Nailed it.

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

He killed this. He totally got the gig.

[@zeendaniels5809]

Eloy, I really hope that you get to read this. We got nothing but love for you. You did awesome here. Ruining the song? Never, you interpreted it your own way, that's the point of the exercise, and I must add that you did wonderfully here. You are so humble, but we all know what a great musician you really are. Hats off to you my friend. You the man.

[@cakedandgreen]

Eloy’s version was incredible! Lifts the song into another realm!

[@jabronijoeoutdoors]

The textures he added with the light cymbal work in the transitions was unexpected, but perfect for the song. He's really a student of the game, you can tell. He blended in with the genre so damn well. One of the best performances I've seen.

[@magnushhogberg]

Doesn't matter what drummer Drumeo brings in, the drummers are always good spirited, humble and respect the songs they cover. Eloy is no exception. I love this channel.

[@tomiwaaina5499]

Awww, you can tell his a perfectionist. He was so worried and nervous, but he did so well with a great version of the drums that was surprisingly similar

[@RidwanAhmedArnob]

Perhaps the most difficult track so far and he absolutely NAILED it. What an incredible talent!

[@lazarusjambon1288]

Lol check whiplash and tool

[@xdoctorblindx]

Probably the best take on a song in this entire series! No wonder Siberiano rates him as the best drummer in the world!

[@iamdodgepodge]

Whoa, really?

[@dagdash]

Speaking about him... we need to El Estepario Siberiano playing in one of this videos for Drumeo

[@pjbpiano]

​@@iamdodgepodge, Yes. Siberiano says this dude is the best metal drummer in the world.

[@andersrasmussen1985]

Hes awesome, but best metal Drummer for me has to be Mario gojira

[@fungus_am0nguz644]

WTF, dude that is NOT an easy song to nail down on such short takes, that was actually pretty impresssive. Ive seen Eloy many times with Sepultura and he is a monster.

[@dielaughing73]

Crazy to think Theo played this on such a simple kit AND sang the lyrics at the same time..

[@locsbcn]

Yes, impressive 😮

[@xKrispyx]

Genuinely loved Eloy’s version. It sounded so funky and lively. Definitely put a smile on my face, and isn’t that what music is supposed to do?

[@thiko714]

The way Eloy was anxious, makes him bring all the intesinty he used playing this song. It was awesome!

[@spirothegamer]

Now that Sepultura have retired, I wish Eloy gets the WORLD CLASS gig he deserves. And make no mistake about it.. he can handle every possible genre... Living drumming legend

[@faustomadebr]

Sepultura is a world class gig...

[@spirothegamer]

@@faustomadebr In a sense yes, they tour the world- but they are not the same magnitude of say Megadeth. That's what I mean by "WORLD CLASS".

[@iagomerli9535]

Doubt he would have the same freedom to shine and be creative in Megadeth (or Slipknot as some were wishing). He is masterful and a creative drummer, no doubt his next gig will be great anyway

[@faustomadebr]

@@spirothegamer He is brazillian... playing in the most important metal band from Brazil is, at least in my perspective, better than Megadeth. Just see Kiko, from Angra originally: Megadeth is bigger, richer and has more fans, but Kiko had more creative freedom, he was mixing different styles, composing crazy stuff... what World Class would mean for the musician? If it is all about a bigger band, he can play for Taylor Swift.

[@ericbert6551]

He’s perfect for Slipknot. I hope that works out somehow.

[@JasonMcLemore]

Theo Katzman and Joe Dart is just an evil rhythm combo. One of my faves of the past decade! Way to go Eloy!

[@LiamHagan]

I adore this series. It really showcases how technically proficient these musicians are, regardless of what genre they usually play. Thank you for introducing me to Eloy Casagrande, I'll be seeking out more of his work 😊

[@sliverhandsonbasses]

When technique, musicality and humility coexist in a musician we can’t do nothing but admire him! 🔥🔥

[@tenaciousg4340]

Low key this is one of the hardest “Hears for the first time” in my opinion. Eloy crushed it!!

[@MS-dz1di]

Watch Chris Allison plays "The summoning"😂

[@SZ-os1hp]

So impressive how he threw himself into the process. You smashed it Eloy!

[@MrSkme]

Didn't literally every drummer here also throw themselves into the process? is there any other way to do it?

[@3notesabar843]

My favourite drummer in the world right now.

[@Kabooomof]

Eloy is the goat. Incredibly humble but at the same time did an awesome job at coming up with funk drums, considering his metal background. 🫶

[@randyrossdrums]

Eloy did an amazing job of this. But lets take a moment to realize how good Theo Katzman is at this while carrying amazing vocal duties at the same time. Theo at Drumeo? I'd love to see that.

[@TheSeeking2know]

😮

[@BabakAzarian]

I absolutely loved what he came up with. Theo's playing is very much in the pocket and groovy but I absolutely loved his version too. It had a lot of character.

[@matheusrosadossantos2759]

Such a class act. Knowing his work through his carreer it doesn't surprises me how good it was.

[@Bearlyontime]

Eloy is a beast! This was awesome to see...Now as the new Slipnot drummer, I'm excited to hear his new adventure!! Thanks guys! 👊🏾

[@bagelduster9491]

Eloy is a phenomenal drummer. I was hesitant to accept him in Sepultura. Then I heard him play. Holy f- he’s good. It’s hard to see someone so talented and humble thinking he didn’t do well. Trust me Eloy, your hard work and dedication to your craft is noticed and appreciated. You’ll forever be in history books.

[@khgear7160]

Eloy is amazing. to the point where i wonder what the appeal of Igor is lol! Truth of the matter Eloy is a new kind of beast. Pure injection with the right notes.

[@KarlPilkington89]

Only time I hear the noise is when I am travelling over 70 mph. It could be what we thought it was all along.

[@pedroviskh185]

And now he's Slipknot's new drummer

[@kwyatt261]

Are there any Cavaleras in Sepultura still?

[@ObscuraDeCapra]

@@kwyatt261 No, and haven't been for a long time. Max left in '97, Igor left in '05. The two have been in Cavalera Conspiracy since like 2008 or some shit.

[@jordanols]

Anyone else here after finding out he had joined Slipknot?

[@Zolevy]

Algorithm makes us happy 🎉😊

[@cryerdc]

Wow. What a pleasure to watch his professionalism, musicality and humility. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@nixneato]

Eloy just completed a masterclass world tour, I went to see him in Belgium and man... this guy's unbelievable talent is matched by his awesome personality only. What a cool dude. He even made fun of me (twice!) because I asked him if he used the ankle technique for his sick double bass skills. Needless to say he couldn't care less about what he uses, so long as it works :) Loved every minute of it, both on and off the drums.

[@harnaz_nerville1181]

This guy is pure gold, his drums are full of music, even without other instruments, and he's a really cool guy. It's really hard not to love him.

[@TheIsahata]

Wow the amount of respect to the song 😮 what a humble and professional guy 💪

[@Jamminn555]

Fantastic video to watch one of the world's best drummers do a song outside of his usual genres. Love his humor and perfectionism and frustration! Way to be a great sport, Eloy! Thank you!

[@archibaldchuzzlewit1848]

I loved his attitude, you could tell he legitimately dove in and wanted to do the best he could even though it's totally out of his wheelhouse.

[@wyatt7630]

Wow! Dude turned into a r&b drummer very fast! I have so so much respect for this guy! Impressive! What a humble man! He is truly one of the best today..

[@PabloPernambuco]

Somebody said he is so humble... That's why is simply an amazing musician, he always worried to do the best in the song.

[@IndieJAthensGR]

This is a delight to watch..What a great drummer Eloy is! Thanks Drumeo ace as always! Merry Christmas guys!

[@sirsquatchington1919]

This is a perfect example of how good this man is. One of the best to do it.

[@dryerofdoom]

Its good to make mistakes and this guy just fucking destroys every wall he comes across with the drums

[@Itsmescoots]

So cool to see such a talented drummer working so hard to serve the song in a genre he's not normally associated with. This is my favorite one of these y'all have dropped!

[@sreneethomas]

That was amazing!! When listening to his final take I couldn't stop smiling. Fantastic job! I loved it!

[@iamdodgepodge]

The fact that he asked to practice so many times is just as impressive as those who got it in a few takes; it shows a lot of character on his part. Kudos! Super groovy drumming.

the "aiiii" before he hears the song is tottaly Brazilian ahahah. love him!

[@EricMcLovin13]

Eloy is a beast, and it's pretty cool to see Vulfpeck picked for him also, brazilian accent when speaking english is one of the most noticeable we have, if it's not someone who began speaking in childhood or someone who lived decades abroad, it's really strong, and i really love how it sounds

[@dbalotin]

In Brasil Eloy is what we call BRABO DEMAIS.

[@user-pk3fl8rq1v]

i loved how hard he worked to get it. sounded amazing. inspiring. one of my favorites of this series.

[@matthewpowell3474]

This may be the most polished performance in this series, he absolutely knocked this out of the park IMO.

Que honra ouvir um baterista brasileiro como o Eloy tocando Vulfpeck. Dupla honra será quando Cory Wong conhecer a doidera chamada Cacau Santos ❤

[@Jinxid77]

I adore the Groove he came up with, nevet heard the original, but I was dancing to this! Awesome job. Definitely one of my favorites of the series.

[@user-jv5rw6ez2z]

Love His Version, and what a humble and down to earth guy... Brilliant ❤

[@jerrywilde6156]

Eloy is, without doubt, one of the greatest drummers of his and any other generation - his ability to adapt to any style of music is obvious and his adaptation to this song was masterful, given the immediacy and time limitations. Stunningly good.

[@dalatina911]

Eloy, you are such a master of your craft! I love how he stays true to the original yet adds his own flare to it. I just love him!

[@joaopaulocachaneski8677]

It's incredible how he takes notes and makes that his guide so easily, the groove and how he uses to fill the empty spaces is amazing! Valeu Eloy por representar tão bem a classe artística brasileira pelo mundo! 🤘

[@error9900]

I love that he really wanted to nail it and did a bunch of takes. Also that little off-beat groove in the cowbell bridge part was tasty! And that final groove with ride and the open hi-hat on the 'e' of 1 was sweet.

[@CRAETION_]

super tight groove there!

[@hippopotatomoose]

Eloy takes his craft very seriously. I like his drum version. It was definitely different but it still worked.

[@Jodus_MacGotuss]

This dude's so humble and a fantastic drummer! I loved watching him play

[@myjmbro1304]

This is probably my favorite Drumeo video thus far. He is so talented and persistent!

[@Mulukkis]

More Eloy! This guy is phenomenal!

[@justinmbreedon]

I think Eloy crushed this low volume funk classic, great video for sure!

[@MiLara]

He was absolutely fantastic … his parts were so complementary to the song … full respect he is awesome. So humble, right in the pocket the whole time and very creative. One of the best in this series .. and the whole series has been fantastic

[@PeterCleff]

How is he this versatile. This shows how incredibly groovy metal drummers can be while being technical as heck.

He totally nailed this song! What a groove! This is my favorite series on Drumeo. (Not even a drummer or musician, just love music and musicians)

I love Eloy. He’s just a genuine musician. Final take was great! Not a drummer or a metalhead though but it was a soul song interpreted through the language of metal. I loved the bridge with the high hat work.

This was EXCELLENT! I agree with the consensus... one of the best I've seen in this series!

This is a great show from Drumeo! Thanks for these episodes in 2023 😊

Vulfpeck is a crazy pull! I found Joe Dart and it led to finding Vulf obviously. What an interesting group, great grooves, this is awesome

[@oldmanuserphan]

For me it was Cory Wong (fellow Minnesotan) that introduced me to Vulf. I love their happy bouncy funky sound

[@jameskirkbydrums]

he did a pretty damn good job considering he said hes never listened to them before! :) shows what a true talent the guy is!

[@user-re9sc7hv6d]

Drumeo and Eloy; idk how mnay time me; my friends, and my brother we've listened to this version, and even though we love Vulfpecks minimalistic approach to music; this version is soo good done in real time its mesmerizing all Eloy was able to come out with. Congrats to y'all and thanks.

He underestimates himself. That's an incredible cover. I didn't know the song, I don't listen to this kind of music, but wow, he made it groovy, technical, impressive, interesting! Big congratulations to him!

[@sepularmynorway]

Dude!! You definitely didn’t ruin this song. This just shows your skills and versatility. I think everyone is impressed. So cool!

[@matthewduncan9405]

Eloy did awesome and we sit hear wondering why he is so hard on himself. But then you realize that same drive for perfection has been the fuel that has driven him to the level he is at! Amazing.

Eloy did an incredible job! This is one of my go-to Xmas songs and I would listen to his drum track any time. Obrigado
