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.

[@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]

[@crankfastle8138]

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

[@louieocasio4805]

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.

[@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?

[@alecj3454]

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

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

[@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?

[@melsmith6637]

Great exercises, love his down to earth style! 💖 🥁🎶

Such a cool and humble man. He's got genuis level drumming talent, but is happy to share with us normals.

[@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) 🙏❤💖 🥁

[@RodrigoRaez]

This drummer is amazing! Thank you Drumeo for incentivating these lessons. Saludos, Estepario Siberiano! Tremendo baterista!

[@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.

[@worldaswar3784]

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.

it blows my head. I'll try this..

[@jan-michaelneumann2077]

crazy dude, love him and his 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.

[@scottvanderlinden118]

Great job mate I’m enjoying your lessons very much cheers from🇦🇺

[@starscream2812]

Can’t get enough of your vids. Thank you.

[@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

[@RADEMPS]

Hi Drumeo it's a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos, I would like to know what metronome is using El Estepario Siberiano because I can see it on the phone right in minute 1:41 and I'm finding for that kind of metronome to practice on my own.

[@lyannemaldonado3077]

excellent video im hyped to add it to my watmups. Drumeo can we request a countdown before they start any samples so we can play along? sometimes itll cut to drummers playing the lick right away and itd be super helpful to have a small countdown so we can play and start at the same time

[@TimSuliman]

The note subdivisions seems irrelevant. What would be interesting is to describe your right foot technique and why you change it based on the speed.

[@spanqueluv9er]

@TimSuliman You’re wrong, they are relevant. Go start your own drum channel, genius.🙄🤡💩🤦‍♂️🖕

[@pauldesmet8737]

Movement gets bigger when playing slow (full leg motion), movement gets smaller playing fast (ankle technique) -> practice both movements. Same thing with the hands. The faster you play, the smaller the movement. Otherwise, you can't play relaxed. Have a nice day :-)

[@spanqueluv9er]

@@pauldesmet8737 It’s really not a mystery, is it? Good explanation.👍🙌

[@ezequielriverodiaz8544]

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.
