This guy is an absolute machine! Great stuff! Love the videos. I’m 50 years old. I used to play the kit when I was in band in high school. Then I played a couple of years with a few guys after high school, but I haven’t played since. Your videos are making me want to go buy a kit and see if still have some chops! Also, have you ever invited Mike Mangini to do a video? I would love to see him in y’all’s environment!

[@DrumeoOfficial]

@@bullainsworth3130 We're so glad these videos are getting you fired up again. If not a full drum set, you could ease back in with a practice pad and sticks! Mike Mangini is definitely on our list -- hopefully, we can have him out one day soon 🤞. Thanks for checking out our videos!

Absolute drumming legend! His 'cut no corners, put the hours in for success' approach is the best lesson anyone can give.

[@SKARKIBANEZ]

To be a "legend'; you have to have YEARS ON YOU of what you doing AND...............PERSONAL DISCOGRAPHY or something "YOU CREATE" ;)

[@nicksmith8557]

@@SKARKIBANEZ Hmm.....

[@JayCord00]

Legend ? Who is that actually ? Ahhhh a youtube/ tiktok drummer okok .... People these days are depressing to read . Not taking away is talent but ive seen drummer as good or better in my home town and they are not legend , just like him he isnt one, far from it , lets see where he is in 10 years .

[@nicksmith8557]

Why so negative? That's just not necessary. Where is the love for the effort that he has put in?

[@KingJerbear]

@@JayCord00 first off there's zero chance a drummer in your hometown is on his level, and he's a legend because instead of typing negative nonsense trying to discredit other people's achievements he has worked on his craft every day with a great attitude to spread the gift of drums to people around the world. He is making a living playing an instrument and more successful than he could have dreamed being a drummer in 99% of bands today. It's always the people who are self-conscious of their own lack of achievements that feel the need to put down others.

This guy is another example of how you can succeed by doing what you love .. Estepario we thank you my brother 🤙

[@apieceofdirt4681]

This dudes a monster!! With instructions like this and daily practice there’s no reason why drummers shouldn’t be jaw dropping. I really wish KZbin was around when I was younger because the wealth of knowledge that’s available……for free is mind blowing. I had to spend a ton of money on different types of one on one lessons and instructional VHS video’s which were hit or miss if you really learned anything from them. The one on one lessons taught me not just what to play but how to play it and how to read it.

[@IkechiUkazu]

While I love this and it's a great start to the collab, I really want to see an interview between the Drumeo staff and El Estepario

[@ricardostutes660]

Agreed!

[@stevewade2535]

Agreed

[@crankfastle8138]

Good news. He just announced a new huge collaboration here soon.

[@alecj3454]

El Estepario is quickly becoming a legend. Great get Drumeo!

[@peterbrentrie]

Love that he refers to the marathon exercise as a "pyramid scheme". Like all you gotta do is recruit two friends to do this exercise, then they each recruit two friends, and then you get fast feet

[@IkechiUkazu]

😂

[@yordanmishev2764]

I started reading the comments hoping someone else heard and noticed that as well, I'm not disappointed!! ahahahha, good one! cheers.

[@Coastfog]

I've been implementing your one handed practice routines and it's so much fun! It's so rewarding to get better at these patterns and I can already feel how they enhance my drumming. Keep working hard, you're an inspiration, man! ✌️

[@johntarpey8086]

These are solid exercises, but when learning need to understand the correct way to use the pedal. A lot of beginners, myself included at one time, don't do the research. Its important to stress that and learn that early. I had so many mistakes to correct from not learning the correct way a pedal works. The angle of the pedal, positioning/placement of the foot on the pedal, angle of the back heel (like supplementary angles at and angle itself.) Those are the real secrets. These are fantastic exercises to learn for sure. I've been enjoying your videos for a while now. Love the collab with Drumeo as well.

[@justjackman]

Any recommended lessons for the above?

[@drumrit]

Dude I love your videos, congratulations on getting a course on drumeo!!! Also thank you drumeo for inviting the best drummers out there to teach online. Invaluable resource

[@Techiness829]

Honestly thank you so much. I have a hard time with triplets and literally 6 sessions in 2 days and I seriously saw improvement already. Speed and accuracy is feeling better too. I can’t wait to see what a month of this will do. Never stop what you’re doing. At this point you’re an asset to the drum world.

[@daltonsantos.s]

Very Nice! I'm a drummer, last year I had a very serious accident, a drunk lawyer got in my way, I fractured both femurs, left tibia, pelvis, humerus and left wrist! I was in the ICU for 2 months in a serious condition, I was on a motorcycle, I had just left the supermarket with my wife, she broke her right knee and a toe on her left foot, I'm studying music at university with a degree in drums and percussion by the IFPE of Belo Jardim-PE, I am from Garanhuns, the doctors said that I would never walk again, after 5 months of the accident, I walked again, today I walk, I play the drums, not like before, there are still many limitations, but I'm coming back little by little, and I'm going to show everyone the power of my God! I'm going to study this video a lot at home to improve! ❤❤❤

[@smellynelly1]

i know its a really late reply, but im so glad to hear that dude! hows it going now?

[@gerriwood-chromick9390]

I hope the two of you have recovered your health. May I ask if, or how, you had to adjust your drumming techniques either during the healing process or, if needed, afterward?

[@daltonsantos.s]

@@gerriwood-chromick9390@smellynelly1 Forgive me for only responding now. did not notify on my cell phone. Today, my skills have improved, I have more control when I'm playing. On the other hand, I have been experiencing more pain and difficulties in touching and walking, I have been undergoing physiotherapy since 2022, which was the year of the accident, but I think I have reached my maximum evolution and there is no more news. However, I continue to believe that God has everything under control and nothing escapes the power of his hands. 🥹🥁

Finally, he is on Drumeo for teaching his techniques on drums. Love it

[@quietus1325]

Great partnership between Drumeo and Estepario! Love hearing this guys mind shared and played out for us to experience!🤟🏽

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

DRUMEO is a wealth of knowledge which shares critical information with aspiring drummers, free of charge, via the tutelage and peerless expertise of some of the best musicians in the business. Kids today are oblivious to how spoilt they are regarding instantaneous access to endless information about whichever endeavour they choose to pursue. This channel would have been invaluable to me when I was growing up and beginning drums. A “pie-ra-mid” scheme is def the term of the day lol.

[@worldaswar3784]

even though i am a guitarist and a vocalist i am really enjoying these videos guys you are killing it

[@JoeyRam.]

This is the most important aspect to fucus as the mechanical part of drumming. Once the muscle memory is set, the rest is to make good patterns. As a beginner I realized about this once the "imposible songs" to play weren't that bad of a challenge. You'll see.

[@balinisteanugabriel7599]

Nice exercises and very practically presented. At first sight it looked to be too complicated when I've seen the damned note sheets :), but when you showed the workflow step by step then I got it! You motivated to not stop with drums. Wish you the best and I would like to see your next challenges with the Drumeo team. ( Maybe some Jazz or Blues Jams?:P) 🙏❤💖 🥁

[@360.Tapestry]

i can see this doing a lot for your coordination, independence, and ability to jump in and out of time signatures/breakdowns

[@gerriwood-chromick9390]

Truth! My left side coordination, in particular, was extremely clumsy. By taking my time repetitively, this simple exercise has greatly improved my coordination. I am now working on the speed aspect.

[@timbofromkeno]

This guy's feet are on fire. So so good. I also really like Gene Hoglan's approach to kick in a metal context. Worth peeping his first DVD!

[@360Pros]

I'm not even a drummer and yet I'm more inspired by this to pickup a drumset and practice than any videos about my native instrument. Hellz yeah man. 🤘🤘

[@psylocybanana7276]

[@faithinparadise351]

I love how the open playing looks compared to cross over, if I played the same thing.. you still look so much cooler with your style. Respect brother! Your a machine!

[@Jath2112]

I am beyond happy to see all of your hard work paying off man. Excellent lesson. Side note, knowing that English isn't your first language...I must say, respectfully... that you have changed the way I am going to say pyramid forever. Basically...if someone I respect so much...like you...comes along and pronounces a word I have known for 40 years... in such a new and interesting way.... I will accept that you are just better at saying that word than I am. Lol. I love you man. You have changed my life....by kicking ass at your life.

I love each of these videos, however may I suggest that you have a short video on how to properly setup your Foot pedal on your Bass drum to get that best reaction to how each person plays. Spring tension….beater height….things like that.

[@SimplicityForGood]

what small and perhaps more flat , or shallow drum battery for an apartment would you recommend.. I been looking at those Cajun drum sets.. can't have a large size, and neither a lot of tenor drums.. But I wanna start playing again.. Have not played for 28 years, but used to play every day from I was 7-18 and we had a band.. now suddenly I wanna start playing again.. went to a store and had a go.. wow! ah haha ha.. I can still play even if my feet are not as coordinated today as it used to be... but I ned to go Minimalist in my apartment ... less sound and less size.. what battery might do the trick to fit my home?! anyone that got advices or tested the cajun drum batter, let me know.. thanks for an amazing channel!

[@Defensive_Wounds]

5:45 - I noticed, that you slide your left stick off the hi-hat to be ready for the next attack on the snare or something else. I wish the overhead showed that bit! But that is good enough for me to see and replicate. That slide looks similar to a fade-in sound I like to do with the hi-hat on occasions....lol

[@spanqueluv9er]

😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@theredbaron057]

Thank you very much to Drumeo and El Estepario for these excellent videos!

[@woofspider330]

Dont forget to do these with your off foot for a good even work out. Also switch which hand keeps time and which hand alternates. Get used to "keeping time" on your own, without the aid of audio cues or limb movements. It's something that's always fascinated me, when you switch the parts each limb plays. Like play the exact same groove, but switch the snare and BD. Can be a real mind melter on even simple grooves.

[@bluewall_mortal]
