Eugene Ryabchenko - Reacting to 66Samus' Reaction + Q&A

Hey guys! I wanted to thank ‪@66Samus‬ for reacting to my drumming the other day and I decided to make this video in order to answer some of the questions that were asked as well as to take this opportunity to test some of my equipment for audio and video recording.
His reaction made my day! I am very grateful for his kind words and exposure. Let me know if you enjoyed this type of content and if you'd like me to do more of these in the future.
Cheers!

And this is a good way to get it. Even half-assed no good brass band drummers like myself loves drum details!

[@morsverumofficial7226]

"Very slow stuff like decapitated"...thats how you know you have reached a level of drumming where you can stretch the time and space as you please. Amazing ! Your drumming videos is what i have for my breakfast and start my day. Cheers!

[@Meshuggahdistortion]

As an italian and as a drummer i'm so proud of Francesco Paoli. I don't know how he can be so legendary level on any instrument.

[@adityapillai2157]

The way he's honest and accepts every small mistake is heartwarming. Props for that, this guy's a sick drummer

[@omiejay]

You're a legend Eugene. Your drum playthrough of Thru Our Scars is my favourite drum clip of all time.

#EugeneTheMachine

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Thank you!

[@Unknownusername1004]

Your explanation of halfing the hi hat notes is the exact reason I’ve always played broken up patterns on cymbals live it’s easier to count for the entire band plus to me it adds some extra tech vibes as opposed to just a straight flying fingers or push pull sound

[@drummer8382]

Eugene "The Machine" I think I have seen all his videos ... Currently, for me, he is one of the most extreme and technical metal drummers in this fucking world!!!

[@rohansekhri22]

1:26 Greg Doucette is the man !!!!!!!! Eugene is really a man of culture. When it comes to fitness, you simply can't go wrong with him, hahaha Maybe one day, a collab with two legends ? We'll never know 💪💪

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Hahahaha. Of course! I also take a lot of ideas from Will Tennyson. Great content as well!

[@theelderkine]

Greg certainly doesn’t pull any punches, to be sure. 😂

[@chad9160]

0:39 huge respect already at the start of the video. 8:57 210bpm isn't hard... WHAT?! You're a beast Eugene, you sound calm and better spoken here too it's awesome. I think it's because usually I just hear you speaking about drum techniques and since you have so much knowledge you just talk fast to fit everything. Also drop the skin care routine pls 😂

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Thank you so much! What I meant about 8:57 210bpm being not too hard is that it's not as extreme as the fast Belphegor, Fleshgod stuff. I am calm cause I recorded it yesterday on the evening and I was a bit tired. + I did it at home. Comfy. If I will do live Q&As which I plan to do - this is how I will do them. I don't have any skin care routine actually. I am just lucky to have pretty good genes I believe.

[@chad9160]

@@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer Yea I understood about 8:57 I was just joking because people always go crazy when metal drummers say 200 plus is slow haha. I’ve only followed you since 2018-19 but you’re constantly growing and getting more exposure it’s awesome to see! I’ll watch anything you put out, thanks for all the content 🤘

So freaking much positivity... It's almost like the love for discipline and dedication makes us better people. Huh... :)

[@jamesdavis6186]

Totally agree about hi-hat quarter or half notes vs 16th or 32nd (at fast tempos) and keeping track on stage as a guitarist. Way easier to get lost in the flurry of sizzle if your monitoring isn’t perfect.

[@25stealthshooter]

The bread cutter. Such a primitive sounding technique. Eugenes ancestors have passed it down to him for centuries. Along with that hybrid head. Also I just ordered one not too long ago. Because the Reynlord says it makes “ever snare sound the same” something like that

[@craigstrickland1572]

This was good. Your dedication and talent are awesome. Thanks for sharing and thanks for all the covers and shorts!

[@zooltpool8204]

I love Samus ..!!

[@TheMeandrummer]

Awesome video gentleman! Keep kicking ass!

[@Nefville]

I started drumming way too late to ever get to this level, I spent my formative years playing guitar but I still take inspiration from these videos to just do a better job, operate at a higher level - no matter what I'm doing. So even for casual drummers, non drummers there's still a lot to take away, including some awesome music. Congrats on 50k subs I just noticed that.

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Thank you very much!

[@sardaukar2809]

Last time I struggled with a double basse at 180 bpm. As a casual drummer yet dedicated I felt desperate at seeing Eugene playing on KZbin. Yet, seeing you admitting you struggle at your level gives me hope. Thx for everything you're just an awesome inspiration for me

[@ModalModule]

Discovered Samus through his vid trying out the new carbon axis footboards, and have Eugene to thank for my kick technique, getting me to speeds I never thought possible, so to now see them together like this just warms the cockles of my heart.

[@wearethree]

You deserve all the shout outs and awesome reactions. I’ve been subbed for your amazing tutorials for a long time now. Thanks again for being awesome!

[@Icetongue]

@@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer persona 4 is a fantastic game for its time. keep in mind that it came out on the ps2, so it is a bit more rudimentary and less flashy than p5. also try persona 4 golden for some much needed quality of life changes. cheers!

Love how honest you are :D :) I had only listened to Anthony's cover version of that Behemoth song, so I wasn't sure whether you had used that as inspiration for that unique fill or whether it's on the original anyways. You're a sick drummer/dude, man!

I think Anthony got that "solo" pretty close to the original. Very accurate. So I basically took his version as the "tabs".
