I attempt El Estepario's "IMPOSSIBLE" Drum Lick

[@chrisbrown5064]

I think it's super important to show the process of learning a piece and getting better. There are so many artists that won't show you how they get there, only the polished product, and only being exposed to end results can set unrealistic expectations to people learning an instrument. Epic as always; love seeing you learn!

[@wired_to_the_world]

Estepario has a lot of drum courses on Drumeo

[@nadavgolden]

Exactly! I loved this video (first video I watched on this channel), and it made me more confident with how I practice and learn new songs.

He could and would absolutely slay it. Don’t take away from the accomplishments of a master.

There is great hubris in a drumming tradition that dies once you turn 21 and that requires you prance around like a fairy while you are doing it ...

[@NicDunn]

@@hasush ? Do you not like marching percussion? It’s fun dude

[@SilverBordered]

Yeah, this is why you're the best percussionist on the platform. No clickbait needed!

[@davyhay1]

To me, I think the most impressive part of El Estepario's playing is his timing. When he plays, it almost sounds more like a drum machine than a person, because his strokes are so perfectly timed.

It's crazy how much content material El Estepario is spitting out for other content creators.. Most of them are lame reaction videos but your videos have are productive and has meaning. Thanks for showing the progress.

[@crdrummer89]

How much he is putting out for other creators? El Estipario literally makes content playing other people’s music. 🤨🙄

[@ziggysax0607]

I'm genuinely impressed. It's actually a lot of fun watching you get that much better as a musician and a drummer.

[@LesFarrington]

I am always mind-bent watching a good drummer do his thang I am a singer, piano guy. I have had to learn some tricky piano/vocal songs and did it by playing it OVER AND OVER FOR TWO DAYS. One is US3’s Cantalupe(flip fantasia). It sounds pretty straight forward but required me to chop my brain up and melt it back together. This drum groove is clearly for VERY GOOD DRUMMERS! You are very impressive

[@Cleared_To_Land]

Epic Eric. Now can say officially say you’re a drummer and not only a percussionist. You are a true all rounder talented EVERYTHING! Keep inspiring people to do their best. Thank you for showing us the progression too. Not just the polished product. 😊

I think the Bozzio stuff is much more complex. The ostinato patterns are more complex and he actually learns how to improvise over the base pattern. I dig the video. It's awesome all the scary talent on KZbin these days.

[@HallyPorter]

Yoni Madar just posted "the most complicated exercise I've created so far." Basically, the foot (bass drum) plays "Apple Pie" (1-2-3-rest/repeat) throughout. The left hand (snare- Yoni plays this as a rim click) plays "Apple Pie" (1-2-3-rest/repeat) twice, then adds a 16th rest to make after the second measure to make it "Strawberry" (1-rest-3-4/repeat), and adds a rest again to make it a check pattern culminating in an extra full beat (17 quarter notes) then repeats. The right hand then adds the hi-hat, which plays (1-2-3-4-rest/repeat) which is 5 over 4. There is a hi-hat "bark" on beat four, closing on beat 1.

[@galupa518]

I am stunned. You rock dude.

[@MrMatrix-20349]

Hey there, just a friendly thing to say. Do not think because you can't do any of these insane things, or don't see yourself doing them in a near future, just be aware that El Estrpario must have around 20, if not more years of experience and practice, i myself am a drummer, and i consider that this guy is a absolute MACHINE, but it's because he worked hard for it, yes. Talent and the own capability of the brain to register and do all of this insane tricks counts, but it's also how many hours you've practiced, my teacher always tells me to do so. To always practice in the snare (which i sometimes forget) but when i do i see results, even if i'm playing an actual set or song, the normal person takes around 5 or more years to learn (to some level of expertee) a instrument, and then you can go and add your own stuff, talent is something that yes, some people are born with, but it isn't a limitator for other people to not try, try and seek guidance from any teacher, most of them can do crazy stuff on their own, and that everyone in here is different, you maybe excel at other stuff, like drawings, music, writting, it all just deppends if you like what you're doing or not (As a sidenote, please excuse my grammar, and the other ortografic errors i (will) have, i don't think this comment will reach out to many people, but if you are reading this to the end (or skipped most of it, please read) just take my word, you could ask him, or any other drummer by the fact, and they will tell you the same.)
