[@Farkie_85]

Metalingus by Alter Bridge has some good drums. An Estepario version would be amazing.

[@martinoresnik4435]

Since he's a drummer too, I'd imagine Dave would be pretty fucking stoked about this. He loves drum covers of his songs and I really hope he finds his way to this one.

[@danlindwhut2129]

Imagine Dave pulling him up from the crowd not knowing his talent… that would be so frikking fun 😂

[@MrMotorNerd]

Like Kiss guy ....

[@derWelsch0r]

Imagine pulling him as their new drummer 😍 I mean, as much as I wanna see the Hawkins Kids play their asses off for Dad - this would be THE choice!

[@Noteven0]

Fuckin Beautiful!

[@toreludvigsen6398]

@@derWelsch0r I have been thinking the same since I discoveren Esteban! He could fit in nicely in their crowd!

He probably knows who he is now 🤣

[@Dr.Krules]

I'm 40 and I just started playing drums around 7 months ago. Got myself a basic electronic kit. I am in awe of your control and orchestrations. Thank you.

[@mariavirginiatanasa9211]

Our amazing child started at 4, and this dude is just a great inspiration to us all🙏🏻💕

[@AkSamurai69]

I was in band and we covered this song. I was the front man. Any crowd we got loved when we played this song. They loved me for it. But our star was the drummer. I was in awe of him. From guitar and singing, I wanted to play drums like him. He was the best I've ever seen or heard. Then i saw you. This song is very near and dear to me. Thank you

[@AndJuan]

As a very big fan of FF. This just... goosebumps. Speechless.

[@mosieurben]

Being an old dream theater and a foo fighters fan, this is what I have to say. It felt like Mike Portnoy had joined FF and went rogue!!! Awesome!!

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

DUDE! It’s a lot like that! Great observation!

[@tchapmanpdx3533]

Love that comparison!! Also, great band choices!!

[@claudevieaul1465]

There would be a "ping" at every opportunity, then 🤣👍

[@kagesong]

Nothing better than a rogue drummer. (Drummer's bias may apply here.)

[@GingerDrums]

True. Its like if Mike Portnoy practised drums more and covered foo fighters. Xd

[@oppermanfitness]

I can hear him play drums literally forever. He’s so good it’s ridiculous!

[@Frank_P83]

Man... I've seen a lot of drummers in my life so far and I just don't understand how good you are, you're probably one of the best in the world, if not the best... Insane work, I'm your new #1 fan

[@WojackToter]

look at the wear on his snare! the accuracy he has is insane

[@TheStokedBloke]

Are we just going to ignore the quarter sized wear spot on his snare? What a machine

[@peterpaul4360]

IT'S OFF CENTER!!11!1!eleven What a noob.

[@xtohrme]

I noticed that. Absolutely insane accuracy.

[@mikeodgren]

I was thinking the same thing. Absolute unit!

That absolutely kicked arse, bro thank you for inspiring me, Taylor would definitely be giving his nod of approval 10/10 🤘😝🤘

[@OogaB0oga]

haha, I highly doubt it. This is impressive to be sure, but waaay overplayed. Just not really playing to the music (which is fine, he said it himself that he's just having fun).

[@lazykiller3988]

@@OogaB0oga Still sounds good

[@benclarke6112]

This is hands down the best drum cover I’ve seen for this tune wtffffff!!!!!!! Such respect oh my

[@Jabberwhorl_Cronstadt]

this guy is the perfect blend of insanely technical, complicated drumming and from-the-heart power drumming. I normally don't like technical drumming, but I could just watch him forever.

[@thatssoironic]

It’s a pleasure watching someone do something they’ve mastered. No matter what it is they’re doing, it’s always amazing to watch them do it. All I can say about you is that I’m glad I gave up on drumming to pursue painting. Your work ethic is a truly inspiring thing my man … you’re the stuff of greatness and you show that dedication to your craft pays off in spades. Whatever the fuck that means … Congrats on your success, it’s well earned

[@bigfacedboy]

It makes more sense if you move "that" so it reads that pays off in spades. My favourite spade is a Spear & Jackson number 3.

[@danielmrtns]

I’ve mastered the art of procrastinating and farting around. I can do both at the same time, true legend!

[@danpro.u]

Tvrdě trénuje mnoho bubeníků, ultimativní schopnosti však dala příroda jen jemu. Proto je to tak, jak to je...😉

[@jayfullerton6981]

Very nice rendition, having fun playing the song is better then playing it precise. Everytime I see these videos my drumset calls to me.

[@stistage29]

The absolute accuracy with the bare spot on that snare is incredible

[@jetGg8819]

Foo Fighters need a drummer, and this guy should be number one on the list!!!!

[@jeffreyphon3497]

Can’t imagine the training and dedication he went through to achieve this level of skill.

[@siulgonzalez]

¡He said that it took 8 hours a day of practice for 8 years!

[@JasonLuther1]

the bass tone in the version is nice

[@gjulian12]

When El Estepario says "this is NOT how to play this song" you know shit is about to go down. Excellent rendition, Taylor would be proud.

[@Chargen69]

I didnt see anything wrong with it.

[@Chargen69]

🙂

[@johanyventura6669]

😂 right

[@larrypelrine1799]

I think Taylor would be highly impressed with how the double kicks compliment the song so well. Well done, man!

[@jonasfernandes6800]

This guy precision is unbelievable… Every single note is clear and audible

[@lazyreuvin]

Having fun is what it's all about. If Taylor was watching this I'm sure he'd be smiling and loving the preformance as much as the rest of us. ❤

[@mfelipetc]

The pre-chorus part is killer, so cool!

[@sarptetikel9341]

Here I am thinking of setting up a 17piece drum kit with 2 rides, all kinds of effect cymbals and all sorts of fancy stuff and this guy is killing it with 3 cymbals and no rack tom! Really humbles you to watch a pro slay a song like that

[@Prophias]

Sometimes I like throwing a comment into the ether, but Mr Estepario, I believe you are breeding a new generation of drummers, I can already see the influence in many bands, you have brought some new life into music with this awesome mentality of practice makes perfect. bless you sir!

[@felipemendes7408]

Man, that was absolutely a joy to watch and to hear! You've put your amazing hand and foot techniques and speed in the right places in the right times not overdoing it. Thanks for that!

[@Koiler8]

The best cover I’ve ever heard or witnessed. Bravo!

[@DareToBeatbox]

You're just so fluent with drums. It's truly insane to watch. And your footwork is absolutely perfectly on time at all times no matter the speed.

[@lederfeis]

HAs conseguido aplicar el movimiento de cámara de "Arguiñano en tu cocina" y llevarlo a tu terreno. Bravo!

[@DireWolfForge]

You are a gift to music and humanity. I am floored every time I watch your videos. Amazing

[@janmercon5284]

Dude, this was fucking mind expanding and amazing as hell!!! Taylor still is one of my quintessential influences for my drumming, and to see you do this, I am crying tears of joy now ❤️ thank you 🤘🤘🤘 The Hawk would be proud 🤘🤘🤘

[@karankaval6745]

This cover just put a massive smile on my face😃. Brilliant!!!

[@DaLoveDonkey69420]

I'll never forget the cool feeling of back around when this song came out I called in to 99.3FM and requested this song and my sound byte made it on air and was wild hearing me talk to them and request this song. You killed it El as always my man! Cheers mate!

Dude having a drum is a dream since i was a child and from what i saw in the years you’re the most talented drummer i’ve seen. Big love to you man!

[@JenniferMorisch]

So I cant get enough of this one. Seriously dude, you are mesmerizing 😮❤😊

[@illchangelateridk]

El Estepario is the best when it comes to pure drumming with no gimmicks. This plain daylight from the outside, filming with the lens that is not too wide, maybe the framerate too, all that emphasized his playing for me. It's like you're standing here with him, watching him, and there's no magic tricks, crazy editing, just an unmatched raw skill. There's a disclaimer for those people that would inevitably say that it's "overplayed", and I can understand the fans that are so used to the original, but I feel like that one somehow doesn't really feel overplayed to me, he just makes those covers sound on point every time.

[@KitWriter]

And yet he has THE BEST gimmicks. The stick flash is legendary, the drinking beers and smoking weed while playing with one hand is hilarious. Switching clothes between song breaks, or tossing a stick in the air and suddenly being in a dinosaur costume when he catches it … his gimmick is his humor, but omg can he play.

[@joseparsonsnabiula9659]

¡ay dios mío! mi banda favorita absoluta. ¡piel de gallina! este va automáticamente a mi lista de reproducción. muchas gracias por versionar esta canción. ¡ÉPICO!

[@ryanmac8936]

I SWEAR EVERY COVER EL ESTEPAIRO DOES JUST MAKES THE SONG SOUND SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. DISCIPLINE AND HARD WORK....KEEP UP THE AWSOME WORK BROTHER!!!

[@kariko07]

I can’t stop listening to this - the start where it breaks from 1-2.. 1-2-3-4 on the bass into the triplets/quads??? Some of my favourite drumming right there!!

[@1584283]

Ive seen this song live a couple times. If he cranked up the showmanship, brought the speed down a hair. This would be perfect

[@jbiskk7687]

💀May not be how it should be played, but it's the only way I want to listen to it from now on. 💀

[@Sebvdijk]

This drumscore is holy and should never be altered. But seeing this guy having fun, is a true blast. Muchas gracias for your talent, work and videos, Estepario! ❤

[@nigelyoung5948]

My favourite foo fighters song and you did not disappoint. Thank you, oustanding 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@justsomedude8688]

Why exactly is that NOT the way to play that song, LOL?!?! Dude - you are absolutely amazing. Top of your game for sure. Been a drummer for 30 years and you’re something special, no doubt. Congrats on the fruits of all your hard work. You deserve it all.

[@spencergsmith]

Because it doesn’t serve the song well. It’s far too busy. But it’s fun for drummers as an alternative take.

[@nickbueno_]

he says that so people like the guy above me cant' talk too much shit on his rendition lol people love to jump in the comments about how the person isn't playing it right or how it "doesn't serve the song well" but those people miss the point of this guy and his entire channel.

[@spencergsmith]

@@nickbueno_ I haven't missed the point of this channel at all, it's to showcase his skills and what is physically possible with drums. However, it's an important disclaimer so people don't fall into the trap of thinking more notes means better. Like I said, it's fun for drummers, but you're an immature musician if you actually think this rendition serves the song well.

[@nickbueno_]

@@spencergsmith you obviously missed the point man. he even states at the beginning, this is NOT how you should play the song, but he's trying to have fun and here you are missing that point saying he's not serving the song well. I think your mindset is what is truly immature here bro. imagine trying to have fun with a song you love then someone hears you and says youre not serving the song well...lol go have fun and stop being a musical snob

[@spencergsmith]

@@nickbueno_ no, I didn't miss the point. I saw what he said at the beginning, but the OP asked "why exactly is that NOT the way to play that song?" so I was answering his question. Hence why I said "Because it doesn't serve the song well... But it's fun for drummers as an alternative take." which is PRECISELY what the point of this video is, an alternate take where he gets to show off his chops a bit. Nothing wrong with that, and I never said there was. I WAS RESPONDING TO THE ORIGINAL COMMENT. Maybe you should practice your reading comprehension skills.

[@ProductionStops]

Ive watched so many of your videos and they are all bangers. This might be my favorite thiugh, its absolutely incredible from tempo amd match to the song, to the improved parts. Can't wait for your new band's jazz album!
