Eloy Casagrande (Sepultura) - drumtalk [episode 42]

[@nathanwalsh3028]

Being that I've been playing drums for over 30 years my influences are a mile long, everybody from Steve Jordan to Vinnie Paul to Matt Apts. But this guy is by far my favorite new drummer in the past 10 years. I dare anyone to challenge this man's power and musicality and his Incredible Hulk meets Bruce Lee type of style.

[@bigstef2010]

I'm a huge fan of this guy, total dedication and total passion and total talent.

[@hugorezende199]

I have said before and i will say again, Philip knows a lot how to drive the interview, this guy is a great interviewr with good questions. Im so proud of seeing Eloy being known worldwide, he is a beats and a insane dedicated and humble guy.

[@drumtalkofficial]

hey Hugo, thank you so much! I really appretiate it and your comment came at the right time, because both metal drummers in general and me as an individual specifically are getting a lot of negativity in the comment section of the recent Steve Smith video on this channel. I know one shouldn't take those things personally but for me that's easier said than done. So thanks again! Reading your comment was really uplifting!

[@edrumsense]

8:30 "For me is impossible to play jazz music" 9:17 "I can't play soft" What a nice guy!

[@GFCoutinho]

Probably the best metal drummer today

[@GFCoutinho]

@Lightbringer lol

[@mrgriff3044]

@Lightbringer I would not say he is very slow. I also wouldn't say he's very sloppy either, his intensity is quite precise. Having said that though, I wouldn't put him above people like George Kollias, Hannes Grossmann, Derek Roddy, Flo Mounier, Gene Hoglan or Tomas Haake. Just off the top of my head. Eloy is a damn good drummer but the bar is set extremely high in modern Metal.

[@samunerdrum5978]

@Lightbringer anahahahahahahah

[@czarnpg]

He is my favorite. Some people told, he isnt the best, the must is these others guys, so I searched such guys and listen to them. Most if them sounds boring to me.

[@CBaghana]

Only in the internet ppl will call him sloppy lmao clearly a guitar player saying that

[@crazy8sdrums]

I've been a fan of Sepultura, and then later Soulfly, from their start. I might have been tempted to say that nobody could replace Iggor and that Sepultura could not exist without the Cavalera brothers...but it wouldn't be true. Eloy is a fucking monster on the drums and has made Sepultura every bit as potent as they were when they started. A perfect choice for that (almost) holy throne!

[@toriandicapmond161]

Well said..

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Love his attitude and approach. Great Tom sound too!

[@drumtalkofficial]

yep, nice human being

[@pieromedone]

Wise young man.

[@nathanwalsh3028]

I couldn't stop smiling when he compared music to Art and painting. It is what it is in that moment. There is no perfection.

[@toriandicapmond161]

Eloy, you are top fucking shelf, man. Quadra brought me back to Sepultura. I have to thank you for that, sir. I enjoy loads of drummers who utilize triggers. That said, a style that is fluid and hard hitting w/ out any"clicky drums"? Refreshing, indeed.

[@ramoncardinali]

Metal drumming can't get any better than this guy.

[@felixlopez1801]

I was lucky enough to see and meet Eloy at the 70,000 tons of metal. What a humble guy all the way around and even a better drummer! Cheers

[@AzziDrummerThai]

I met him here in Brazil in a Drum workshop. Such a monster on drums and a nice person at same time ! Giant artist ! Cheers from brazil !

[@ljudevitbinder9114]

Gorgeous drummer. Powerful,talented and precise.

[@davidmichaelsen9805]

He feats sepultura perfectly. Just love this Guy. Great interview.

[@drumtalkofficial]

thank you David! and yes, Horacio is the shit and funny as hell

[@sylvandespres7654]

sepultura would sink like an anchor if eloy wasn't there.

[@FuggYew666]

Eloy's drumming virtuosity is worthy of Gods.

[@TomDrums]

I love these series. The questions always seem to bring out great and deep answers from the artist. I hope Ray Luzier will join in the future :)

[@lunade13]

I really conect with his way of playing, I feel the same energy and intensity when I play the drum, it cames naturally I dont "try" to play that way. Eloy you are a crack!

[@michaelobrien9689]

This guy is such a great drummer. Raw power

[@matheusdutra000]

Aos 4:24 ele lança um "né" no meio da frase em inglês kkkk. Ótima entrevista! O Eloy é um monstro!

[@pccaixa]

He became one of my inspirations in the year of 2019. Not just because of how good he is, but specially because his way of thinking. Even though he is younger than me.

[@tomashradil3994]

I love your channel, I love these interviews. Thank YOU ! ! !

[@lucianonicolasgarcia7311]

This guy is next level in metal drumming. Technique, presence, versatility. The whole pakage and then some. I hope Sepultura leaves him time to do other proyects to hear him in different settings.

[@fajargandhira139]

Watched the Modern Drummer DVD where he was featured. He's like 12 years old but talented as hell.

[@danilosilvadrm]

Pride from Brazil!

[@ELMEMEROXD-t1t]

Phil, you seem as youre reading my mind, every drummer i admire, you come with a new episode with that guy. I just cant be so grateful enough. A million times thank you!

[@drumtalkofficial]

yo Freddy! great to hear that! always a pleasure to see that what you do gives others some insight or even inspiration. I wish I could be quicker with putting those out but it seems like I'm not able to do more than 10 a year. Well, let's see what's in it for you when [season 10] is on the air...

[@EnovagMusic]

Great drummer!! I love when musicians play naturally, just music and soul!

[@gringochucha]

I would love to hear some of those country sessions...

[@FelipePGomes]

Máximo respeito Eloy, excelente entrevista!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 #cwbhcbrazil

[@benziegelbauer2425]

I don’t know a lot about serious drummers.. but he has constructing pants and took this interview like a pro.

[@nirwan76]

Best metal drummer for right now

[@thodoris3790]

a natural talent

[@MrEspositomauricio]

Orgulho do metal brasileiro!!!!

[@rafaelalmeida4043]

Now would be a perfect time to do an update of this video, I guess.

[@Vomitor669]

What a nice guy 👍

[@krthkh]

Was expecting him to talk about his appearance in MD fest 2005 and after that

[@PhotogV]

The tight shots makes me think you’re interviewing Manu Ginobili

[@picoledelimao8792]

Monstro! Maior inspiração da atualidade!

[@crashtestdrummie-nl6411]

Power drummer extraordinaire...really one of the most 'convincing' metal drummers that combines phenomenal technique with distinctive rhythms and sheer agression that suits the music. How does he find the energy in both developing drumming skills and lifting weights 😄?

[@A247LOCKSMITH]

Best On The Planet......Amazing!!!

[@Felipao6494]

Ehorabuena 👏

[@franciscopinheiropaula9322]

Toca demais! Isso ai é um monstro! Monster!

[@davidmichaelsen9805]

AMAZING PLAYER.

[@batatadeikonik1543]

Melhor baterista do mundo na atualidade, ninguém supera a velocidade e a técnica desse cara!!

[@czarnpg]

Mesmo que não seja o mais rápido, técnico ou forte é o que mais agrada meus ouvidos... Estilo diferenciado.

[@batatadeikonik1543]

@@czarnpg vc não entende nada de bateria

[@thehighhopes5336]

Eloy saved sepultura.

[@djabthrash]

Such a badass !

[@CorridorOfChameleons94]

Great drummer

[@MLTHLA]

Monstro🤘

[@IsaacLeal210]

"Somewhere in Germany" haha lol

[@zcookie9272]

As of right now Eloy is the best.

[@jojo.1507]

He must be going through cymbals like i change my underwear😅 Joke aside, really interesting Interview !

[@TruckerMurph]

I keep waiting to get an interview where he says how many cymbals he breaks. I mean seriously.

[@beerinoculum]

do you shit yourself often?

[@pulwenvt]

Mario Duplantier next

[@tiagoshade]

Monster!

[@danielhenriquetostes1581]

Será que ele manda um Bete Balanço?!

[@davidmichaelsen9805]

Cant wait for Horacio

[@sylvandespres7654]

sorry,but some questions asked to eloy were kind of pretentious:::: casagrande has nothing to learn from an interviewer. this guy is a full grown drummer,his technique is very,very,very on point...in fact he's nothing short than amazing,the best in his category and some....his energy is endless,...i can't understand how he can maintain that level of accuracy, clean playing,speed while playing that hard.

[@drumtalkofficial]

i'd say you can learn from everybody and maybe it's not "the interviewer" who is arrogant here...

[@sylvandespres7654]

@@drumtalkofficial you definitely sounds like a pretentious wannabe ...but maybe you dont realize it,so that you learn something?

[@drumtalkofficial]

yees I sounds like a pretentious wallaby but althougggh I dont relize I so that I learn something!!!! thank you Sylvan!!!!!!

[@kylesmyth4308]

What kind of camera was used for the interview?

[@drumtalkofficial]

a couple of Nikon D800's

[@ДмитрийГрачев-ц1ц]

Welcome To Slipknot!))

[@LauraThompson-iq1jm]

1️⃣🩸💯

[@nodnarbregztem8546]

Is it just me, or are his hands massive? lol

[@h0rk3d]

lol they are big but i believe its to do with the type of camera lens used, one knee also looks bigger than the other, i think maybe its like sub 25mm lens, semi fish-eye view

[@dreddmann9292]

Wow, it's really surprising that he has a hard time playing jazz, or a hard time playing soft. I guess even though how great he already is, he is still learning.

[@ruifaustino]

Best bad ass metal drummer nowadays

[@hongoslongos5203]

They should change sepultura's name to Eloy Casagrande's band!

[@h0rk3d]

sure a good drummer is always the boss of the band (buddy rich is the best example of this) but really...? nuts
