When you see Brazilians flooding every social media platform related to Slipknot, this is the reason. Eloy loves Brazilian culture and incorporates very regional rhythms into his solos. He is not one of those annoying metalheads. It’s not just because he is Brazilian that we love him.

Obrigado, amamos por ele mostrar a todos que coisas de outros países tambem pode ser boas para consumir :D

[@SoMyungJung]

There’s just something in the Brazilian tap water. Unbelievable amount of musicianship coming out of there.

[@R.C.F.2096]

I think there's more than that: every country in the world "produces" people with musical talent. Now, why some countries have the greatest number of famous musicians? I think there's nothing to do with musical talent, but with (1) conditions of life, and (2) the insertion of the country in the "musical system". This "musical system" is the structure formed by, among other things, a imposition of musical taste (nearly all the popular music in the world has american influences) that by it's turn is influenced by economic dominance. So, a country that has certain conditions of life in which music is important, and whose music coadunates well with the dominant taste (the american taste), has good chances of produce musicians recognized abroad.

[@andregomesdasilva]

That's all about race mixes. Brazil was built by immigrants, from many places. Amazing things can happen when you mix cultures

[@nicholaslara0405]

One interesting thing: We do not drink tap water in Brazil kkkk, its not good for your health kkkkk

[@daniel_bonatto]

@@R.C.F.2096 I think he was probably refering more to the fact that a large part of the brasilian culture is heavelly based on percursion, all the different parts he played, each one comes from a different state in Brasil and has its own history. Eloi's sole is a invitation for people to come and learn more about all that makes brasilian music what it is.

[@totifoqs]

We don't drink tap water in Brazil, because our water treatment is not 100% safe, so we have water filters at home

[@markredford84]

As a 14 year old that was amazing but then you see the maturity as now a man with more experience and wisdom and the difference is massive. Knowledge and wisdom infused with the passion you can only get with experience of life. Amazing stuff. And a great example for all the younger drummers out there.

[@facelen4321]

[@ScottMosier12345]

What I have always loved about Eloy is that he has the power and raw chops for metal (see his work in Sepultura and now Slipknot), but he shows he would also be able to walk into a jazz club and sit in for a gig as well as any Latin performance. His is one of the best modern complete drummers.

[@rcpinaud]

Yes! Now replace Eloy with Kiko Loureiro and drums for guitar, and the statement is also accurate!

[@redacted2275]

Eloy and Derrick Green injected strength to endure in Sepultura: Eloy was able to play Igor's drum parts and add some of his own touch and Derrick, unlike Max, can actually sing but also do those guttural vocals. It's a musical nuance that was riveting on Sepultura.

[@cavaleirosderage4186]

[@shanegriffin2215]

What’s amazing is when he says “ I can’t play that anymore, it’s impossible for me. “ it really shows his humility. This guy is simply one of the must gifted drummers to ever play! Way to go Eloy!

Just 10 seconds within his replay of this solo you can immediately tell how much his musicality improved. He had already mastered technique at 14 years old, but that was just the foundation to craft real musicianship (if that word even exists).

[@gustavotoledo8195]

[@i.kaueoliveira]

I could write this comment in English, but I won't do that. Em PT-BR. Cara, para nós brasileiros e amantes da bateria vou deixar esse comentário como forma de agradecimento ao Eloy. Eloy, praticamente eu cresci vendo você tocar, acompanhei todos os seus trabalhos e hoje cara, 14 anos depois, é impressionate ver onde a sua dedicação te levou. Todas as bandas que você passou eu acompanhei, o antes e o depois, é impressionante a qualidade que você leva para a banda, não só a qualidade você estimula os caras a chegar no seu nível, você sobe a régua como diríamos aqui no Brasil. Ver você no Slipknot é sensacional, ver você no canal da Drumeo é mais ainda, eu claramente não conheço o teu dia-a-dia, mas todas as pessoas que tem esse prazer falam que a sua humildade é uma coisa ímpar, e ver um Brasileiro chegar longe, em lugares de destaque com humildade, trabalho e esforço é motivo de orgulho para nós. Fico muito feliz por você, por nós brasileiros, muito obrigado pelo que tem feito ao mundo da bateria, vida longa!
