I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST PEDAL ON THE PAWN SHOP AND THIS HAPPENED!

[@sutton2582]

A good carpenter never blames his tools!!!

[@FuneralProcession]

A good carpenter takes care of his tools every day You are as good as your tools Our master shows that the old pedal is still kicking

[@ChrisMo44]

Great video and sentiment - I have been playing for 13 years, too. About 8 years ago I picked up a cheap Dixon double kick pedal. I still use the main pedal (in single configuration), despite other drummers saying I should upgrade, I have NEVER found a pedal with the same feel and response as that cheap old Dixon. It just plays exactly how I want it to. Done hundreds of gigs, loads of studio recordings, it's never failed me once.

[@gabrielgomer]

I love how transparent you are talking about subjects such as this one. Your contributions to the drumming community are very much appreciated and needed my friend. Thank you!

Reading the captions has me lol'ing in tears sometimes. I go off on my eqp like that too

Gotta be smart and just find decent pedals on the used market, managed to get some DW9000s for $300 on eBay in good condition

[@joeyscotch2765]

@@jadonchacon got a Pearl Eliminator (dual chain) for $125, wonderful condition

He’s right, Bonham got it done on an old Ludwig pedal, and everyone should reach out and give those elderly beaters a friendly handshake!

not to mention wearing actual shoes

no apology needed brother, it's your passion & profession, and man's gotta eat lmao XD

[@billmint8122]

That pedal was actually my main pedal for a few years! Got it for $50 from a local drum shop. I loved how simple it was, and the feel was so neutral compared to every modern bass drum pedal. I find that the action on new pedals is too focused on volume and power, not feel. The spring tension is almost always too high for me at the lowest possible tension. I eventually replaced it with the Sonor Perfect Balance.

Spain is like you are rapping all the time!! 1:26 😅🤣😂😂

Apart from the fact your one of the most incredible drummers on YT at the moment, I think the most impressive thing is the fact you stick to your guns and keep the videos in your own language, much respect 🤘

[@20sharpie09]

Tio, que le haz dado hasta con la silla a todo zoquete que piensa que por tener los mejores equipos del mercado y tener cierto conocimiento técnico del producto es la hostia, y pues haz demostrado con creces que la verdad no es así, que si bien el equipo caro puede tener una calidad superior en cuanto a materiales y propiedades, realmente el que marca la diferencia es uno como ejecutor y la práctica o técnica que se haya desarrollado con el tiempo, eres el puto amo! Siempre me llena de satisfacción ver videos así, en cual se demuestra lo que has echo.

[@josiassamaniego5109]

Comprate un doble pedal económico, dale uso considerabley después fijate la poca respuesta que empieza a dar el pedal izquierdo

[@20sharpie09]

Claro que los he tenido, y por supuesto que sé cómo se deterioran y pierden fiabilidad per quien se tiene que adaptar a los cambios es uno mismo, el pedal va a seguir deteriorándose, pero si nos enfocamos en mantener el beat sea cual sea el problema, seremos cada vez mejores, créeme que vengo de pedales súper básicos… incluso mi primer pedal fue hecho por mi, con piezas que no tenían nada que ver con batería…

[@TheMajorBlock]

I missed the first part of the video and watched the whole thing in Spanish just to realize you have it captioned. Went back to 0:00 and watched it again with captions, still just as entertained. You’re a beast sir. Love your stuff.

[@mikesmith1290]

I picked up a pearl P122 double kick pedal at a used music shop for $50. Since I’m a complete noob I was blaming those shitty pedals for my lack of ability. I’ve only been playing drums for just about a year now, and this vid really helped! I’m no longer eyeballing the same expensive shit everyone else on KZbin is trying to sell, and I’m re motivated to just get the most out of them!

[@nonexist]

First of all huge respect to you and your unwavering dedication to the art of drumming. You have inspired me a lot by your mastery and humbleness. That's powerful. Now, I don't know if you just say "my grandpa used to say..." as a joke, but I think your grandpa really said those things, and the fact that you keep mentioning him and what he said says a lot about you and your respect towards him and towards family in general. I too repeat my grandpa's words often and he's been my role model all my life. Respect.

[@spasevrp]

You should find an a really old camco pedal (Not the tama version) or a gretsch floating action pedal. They're strap drive pedals and some of the fastest vintage pedals ever made

[@mfruge1]

Not just great advice on drum pedals, but great advice for life.

[@joshvibert]

Right on! I play expensive drums and cymbals because I like the way they sound. Hard to get cheap cymbals to sound good. A little easier to get cheap drums to sound "good" depending on what sound you're going for, but people always make fun of me for my hardware: All Yamaha beginner-level stuff. I've been playing for 26 years now and can still outrun most with my FP710, lol.

[@petestarr6718]

What an awesome video! Dude you are so right, it's the drummer, not the gear. The best gigs I've ever played were with a kick, snare, hi-hat and a crash, and that was it. It really made me think about what I was playing and I had no choice but to make it work. There wasn't enough room in the venue's 😆 And I loved it! Been following your videos for a while and man you blow my mind ever time. Much love bro 🤘😝

[@mx5534]

I couldn't agree more my dude! I always wanted a Ken Smith bass, but they al cost around 6000 euros. I tried so many basses and i found an LTD (ESP Cheaper series) bass for 600 euros, with a bit of tweaking and adjustement, you could not tell the difference! I even did a blind test and everyone thought the cheap bass was the Ken Smith! It goes to show, you dont need to spend crazy money to get something good out of it! Respect to you and your awesome skills man! Peace!

[@aaroncorporalarruda8981]

[@jamesvanminnen2676]

Ah man! I’m already a big fan of your videos El Estepario Siberiano. Just love your playing and your attitude. But then to see a video featuring the same shitty pedal that I’ve been gigging and recording with for years just made me smile 😁 This is one of the reasons I always travel with a Leatherman tool- to keep fixing my pedal and trying to stop it from making squeaking and buzzing noises 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for being awesome and also for helping me feel good about this old Yamaha pedal which is still getting good use all the way over here in South Africa. Drum tribe for life!!!

[@lewis6590]

God damn this translation is the greatest stuff I've seen in the youtube lately, thanks for making my day :D

[@neaituppi7306]

It's like my guitars, they are considered cheap guitars, but they are not bad guitars. Most of them I got at pawn shops for very little. Some might have some defects of intonation, but I can still make them sound good. I have wanted to get a guitar that is in the $1600 range, so I can get tones and action that may not be present in a cheaper guitars. But my playing comes from practice, or not practicing.

[@bleedgoat]

Discovered you on Instagram, by accident. Love your work ethic my dude. Sharing your stuff with all the other drumheads i know

Not gonna lie that "which pedal will make the laundry first" bit really caught me off guard and was seriously fucking hilarious. Great vid!

[@bixs_drums]

Amazing informational and super cool video, you are amazing! I finally found my answers regarding those high-end pedals! I've been playing since the beginning on Millennium PD-222 Pedals, but boy - I also have been able to play with them at high tempos and everyone was like - how do you do this? It is about the practice really and no Trick, Axis or Pearl Demon Drive will do the hard work for you. Only you and your feet. Only difference I would say is in fluency of those pedals. When I am using now DW 5000, it feels great and much fluent then the cheap one. Nicely said! Bravo, El Estepario!

[@crjones1991]

I switched from Pearl Eliminators (maximum adjustability) to Roland KT-10 electronic triggers (zero adjustability). It took some time to get used to the spring tension and range of movement but I can do everything with them now that I used to be able to do with my Eliminators...

[@Mickymoefoe]

Half the time I find my self watching for your videos for the commentary more than the actually drumming. You crack me up, keep up the good work!

[@drumdrummerchannel4081]

I read a heap of the comments...( Note: I have a shit ton of respect for this guy as a drummer).....and I came to the conclusion ....as a know nothing, new to drumming kinda guy... Im absorbing and goin with everything Mr El Estepario Siberiano just demonstrated to me.... I have a old single Yamaha on my YD acoustic kit and a DW3000 on my DTX 750 e-drums.. I think they will do me for awhile... back to practice.. :-)

[@rawdog7220]

100% true. The ONLY reason to spent more than $300 on a pedal is if you find that 'perfect feeling one' and want something that will last a lifetime, or at least comes with a lifetime warranty. Just don't buy the mass produced, super cheap no-brand ones - they wear out super quick and fall apart (learned that lesson more than once). I bought the Yamaha FP9 double pedal (direct drive), they are by far the most expencive pedals I've ever owned. I tried them out on a kit in the music store and loved the feel, so waited and found some second hand for less than $400 in perfect condition.🤘

[@2ndAveScents]

FP9 definitely had way more power and clarity during the double strokes, like a huge difference it’s not even close. If you’re going to play and practice a lot a good direct drive pedal is absolutely worth the investment, especially something as high quality as a Yamaha.

[@sunnibird]

As I'm currently shopping for a new drum pedal this was a most fitting video. Funny AF as well :D

[@zacharywilson1282]

Dude talks as fast as he plays the drums 🥁🔥

[@urosjovanovic3142]

It's the drummer, not the pedal. However, I do need to say that it's a whole different experience playing a crappy pedal vs playing a good pedal. With a good pedal, you can forget about it and just let your body do it's thing. Bad pedal will make you fight it to gwt what you beed from it. The good thing about everything I said is that those good pedals I'm talking about cost 300-400$ max! So we don't need to sell our kidneys to get one. I've been playing Tama Speed Cobra for years now, and that thing is actually cheap compared to some other high end pedals, but it's an absolute joy to play (I feel that way, you may prefer other pedals). Great video, message on point! 👏👏👏

[@jonashellborg8320]

Excellent comparison! Skills are great things to have, and then we depend less on the gear. Plus for kick pedal, even new, there are really good ones for around 50 USD.

[@Joethedrummer]

Those old Yamaha pedals, I think that's an FP6110A, are absolutely great. I think you've demonstrated that brilliantly. It's nice if you can afford a fancy pedal with features, great. But the cheap Yamaha you can get on eBay for £30 and is light (great for gigs) and works fine. It's all about the skill.

[@lollipopjuggs]

I got my first pedal from a pawn shop for $20 it was DW5000. Before I even knew anything about anything

[@vendavalstudio]

hahahhaah... "el pedal de mierda" you made me laugh bro.. nice video.

[@fitnessfab]

Growing up with the strap driven pedals of the 80's witnessing the efficiency of the clock spring loaded pedal known as the "Ghost", it's all in the performers ability to manipulate the tool to maximum efficiency.

[@Mr.DOS_]

I've played cheap old Yamahas with straps in school and they felt really great. That is propably thanks to the strap itself. Less friction etc. Now I have Falcon and I am happy. I've tried Axis once but the DD feel wasn't for me. Belts or double chain fit me the best.

[@i.r.drummer]

The only expensive pedals that seem worth it are the ACD Unlimited Darwin pedals. Most of the cost id assume is due to the small company/low production number part, but it’s amazing to see how many metal drummers have jumped ship from Axis and Czarcie Kopyto to ACD. They also make some killer upgrades for pedals. I own their Ultimate Driveshaft and it’s a night and day difference from stock.

[@Solitária_K]

The things that you say are so random and hilarious 🤣😎

[@Cody_Jay]

I loved the plot twist. I'd love to get your take on cymbal stacks, some stacks you use (if you use them) which ones you like etc. Or even if you have experience with it, your approach to building your own stacks with ala-carte cymbals purchased individually.

[@MrShangtsung]

9:18 desde ahi decidí de darte like!, En un principio estaba pensando y juzgándote por tu manera displicente de referirte a ese pedal de gama baja...ese es un pedal Yamaha algo antiguo pero bueno,y para empezar o a nivel medio basta y sobra!. Llevo tocando casi por 20 años (no constantemente) y nunca he tenido un pedal de gama media/alta pero siempre me las he apañado bien...incluso para principiantes es mejor un pedal normal y decente, porque así uno se esfuerza más y logra más técnica por ponerle más esfuerzo para sonar bien ,y así cuando tienes un pedal de mejor categoría tocará como Flash!!!. Con una constante mantención, limpieza y aceitada (WD 40) cualquier pedal funcionará bien, eso si, con el uso en el tiempo se necesita renovar el resorte o tensor...y como decías es mejor ser un _"Master Indio" a solo tener un buen Arco. ;)

[@joek81981]

I very much agree with you on this. Pedals are all about practice Now that being said I use the TAMA Dyna Syncs... I used DW3000s for roughly 5-6 years before that... I dont play "Extreme music" But I really like them because they feel amazing. the double pedal version runs about $700 USD... and the single(First one I bought) Runs about 370ish USD... I also Play DW drums because I think they sound the best... But like you said thats its all about ME... I spent a little extra to get what I wanted. I was in no way influenced by any other drummer or spokes person. I bought want I bought because I liked it. Also I have used that Yamaha ED9 pedal and its fucking amazing too... It was my second choice. Keep it up bud. I love your videos you are an amazing drummer!
