[@gaspar-animal-ribeiro5414]

@@ttv.snakez1x402 there are a few out there, but from actual complete songs, only 2 if I'm not mistaken. This one and Toxic Garbage Island. There's another "drum cam" from the front of the stage at a show, and other than that are just excerpts of songs or drum solos. Sad. We should sign a petition to have the director of every Gojira dvd to release the drum cam versions of the footage

[@jmetalskinz]

Gojira is literally one of the best metal bands you will see live in the scene today. Not just because of their bad ass musicianship and fantastic song writing abilities, but their live sound is just so fucking mammoth and perfect it's fucking insanity! Saw them with Devin Townsend in LA and it is still one of the top 3 shows i've seen in my life....and yes, i've been to a lot of metal shows! Mario is one of the reasons this band is what they are. Fuckin incredible groove, attack, and consistency at any speed.

[@SlayerDeth1981]

Mario is the aspiration of this gen. of metal drummers. Fluency and speed of a Dave Lombardo Drum presence/ Tightness of a Vinnie Paul Power and creativity of a Gene Hoglan Dexterity of a Chris Adler Half assed, over-hyped core drummers should take a seat.

[@jamescarey1589]

I think he has more dexterity than Chris Adler. Have you seen where the dragons dwell live? He kicked for like 4 minutes straight

[@retronax4346]

he also double kicks for nearly the whole length of "from the sky"

[@pascalschulz5894]

"Dexterity of a Chris Adler" what? Don't get me wrong Chris is an amazing drummer and has a good hand technique buuut his dexterity isn't close to marios nor to those guys you've listed along him

[@MrInsertcoolname]

Double bass is like many other physical feats. For most people, in order to be accurate and fast, you need to put in regular practice several days a week, probably for atleast an hour, and it will still take up to a couple years. Raymond Herrera, the original Fear Factory drummer, recorded their first album after only 3 years of starting drums, but he was intentionally practicing double bass for up to 5 hours per day most days of the week. It takes time, patience, and tenacity.

[@sackboy1055]

Mario Duplantier, baby. :) It's a shame he doesn't knoe what a mark he and Gojira left on metal. Great metal drummer; very "open" sounding and his fills have a nice chop to them. Brilliant I say. One of the greatest bands I came across. Thank you, Mario and Gojira. :)

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas]

He's changing his foot position on the pedal to get different kick drum sounds, and fast as shit. Mucho impressive. He almost plays the songs as if he's a melodic instrument, despite there not being notes... If that makes sense

[@lucassaueressig1411]

Big foot

[@chad9160]

it’s not to get different sounds but I will agree with the last paragraph.

[@GhANeC]

his hihats are a hundred miles away from him, compared to how i use them lol

[@hugorezende199]

Crazy right? People nowadays have that hihat stand adapted for Double pedal. Not necessary to the Hihat be that far.

think about it iv been playing drums for 8 years and i never use gloves i practice about 5 to 6 days a week.some of the Callas will split open and cause bleeding and infection especially if you continue to play with the injury.he is on tour playing every day for weeks on end and injury like that can get a tour cancelled. so he is playing it smart by not taking the risk of injury.

20" Oriental China, 13" A Custom Hats, 17" A Custom Crash, A custom splash, Z Custom Megabell ride (Although I think he uses Z3 sometimes...) and what looks like an 18" Z3 Ultra Hammered China. Zildjian website must be outdated or Mario decided to use different cymbals?

[@LimonSpacial]

i love that A custom, powerfull sound

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

Ikr. The a custom cymbals are amazing. I have the 18 projection crash and it is freaking awesome

[@JustTutupa]

Yeah i know, Im just saying because Im curious about his cymbals, not trying to bash on anyone. Every time more companies and their websites are less updated from what their artists are using, it just bothers me man... BTW If anyone what splash he is using, please tell me, it sounds really good!

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

Just a new idea for our videos :)

[@777EZekiel]

that third china he uses in this video is probably a z3 ultra hammered. Not sure if you can buy those tho..

[@MireWolf29]

I've noticed that Zildjian tends to not update their artist's set up information very often, so your info may in fact be wrong. That china on the right has the hammering marks of a Z3 or Z Custom.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

It's a 19 z3 ultra hammered china in the video on Mario's right

[@nonhasthisusername]

well i guess i like the fact that they have more distinct series, and so many sub series, so it's easier to pick out the differences, and this is ofcourse just personal oppinion, but meinl has something i like in all cymbals, they have hats i like, rides, crashes, chinas, splashes, efects, wheras with other companies i might only like their crashes or rides, but not the hats etc, if you know what i mean:) but ofcourse thats just personal pref.

[@Zofti]

Mario proudly uses completely different cymbals.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

He uses a custom cymbals a lot. For the l'enfant Sauvage tour and the 2010 to 2011 way of all flesh tour. He started using more z3 cymbals. Since 2019 and onward he is using the k sweet crashes and hats

[@burns01]

It's been a long time Mario's cymbal setup has not been updated through Zildjian's website. From what I saw live, I think he's currently playing 14" Z3 Mastersound hats (he told me that), one Z3 ultra hammered china (21" I think), his main crash is a 19 "Rezo crash and the other would be either an 18" A Custom Projection or Z3. Don't know why he switched his K Custom Hybrid 19" chinas, that sounded much better in my opinion.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

He had k hybrids in 2009 but I guess they didn't cut well through the mix. His setup I think for the l'enfant Sauvage tour was probably 2x 19 z3 ultra hammered Chinas. 14 z3 hats and I've seen an 18 z3 medium crash occasionally on his set. His a custom cymbals then I think were 2x 18 a custom projection crashes and his 10 a custom splash

[@richerlecool]

[@humbug595]
