[@MarioDuplantierOfficial]

Thank you everyone for your feedback 🙏

[@pekkaylivainio1496]

love your drumming mario

[@ralfkirsten124]

Wonderful piece of art Mario! Can you please give us some information about time signature, tempo? And also the equipment - is it really a Tama Rockstar? Which skins do you have on it (incl. reso)? Thanks a lot, keep up the good work!!!!

@Mario Duplantier. Np broski. U are the best drummer I know out there. My dad was the one who introduced me to u guys and u have been a huge influence for me Mario. Keep it up man.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

Honestly I agree with u so much. What I like about Mario is that he just focuses on groove, rhythm and honestly his precision and stick placement. He doesn't really focus on speed and blast beats. But u can hear some jazz influences in this solo

Mario is one of the few older school drummers who truly keeps evolving year after year. Sure we all knew he was great after The Link Alive, his speed and stamina were otherworldly. Eventually TWOAF dropped with the increasingly tasty nuances and grooves, and since then he just keeps getting BETTER somehow by combining the raw power of the early years with the mind bending arrangements of recent years. The true reigning champ of metal drumming

[@silenticecream6061]

Nice take man, I appreciate your point of view

[@pq5352]

what do u mean by older school? i am not a drummer so don't know what u mean

[@BlaiseStAmand]

Usually it tends to be that once a band becomes successful they will stop practicing and stay at the level they are , only to play every few year or so But everyone in gojira is constantly improving because of consistent practice

[@1cmanv]

Gojira getting Band of the year and Mario getting drummer of the year is amazing. I have loved all of their music from Terra to Fortitude. Mario is the "backbone" of the band.

I love this guy's approach to drum solos. Far too many drum solos are nothing but endless fills without any distinguishable sense of theme, motif, or dynamics. In pretty much all his solos, Mario somehow manages to strike a solid balance of theme, groove, and chops, with just enough variation in each to keep things interesting.

[@deathmetalrudiments]

Respectfully, I disagree. This solo is repetitive and doesn't have any sense of "movement" as in there is an obvious progression to the musical journey. This solo by Jordan Cannata does. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2KYkHlmm9mHabM

2:20 pretty dancy, 2:30, getting there, 2:35 could dance to this all night🥁💃🕺 Finally when it gets to 2:43 this tempo here is beyond the expression of wanting to dance anywhere, im left speeches this groove playing at this tempo is unspeakably powerful beyond willing to get you moving, it just shakes your entire body internally completely.

[@darianharman9193]

Such a beautiful solo. I remember the first time I heard him. It was after rehearsal with the band I was in at the time, and it was when From Mars to Sirius first came out. We pulled up to my place, and we just sat in the car and listened to the album without even talking. Hearing Mario play like this is so incredible. If you watch his attack during each new section, he's over-emphasizing the first few bars in order to make you know where he thinks the "1" is--he's educating you, visually, as if to say, "this is how I'm feeling it". When you watch him play, you can choose to groove, learn, or both. Mario's drumming really speaks to my musical heart.

0:40 whatever that groove Mario is playing sounds just incredible, that groove is just powerful, combined with musicality, texture and rhythm. But on 2:20 where you start that groove on your relaxed tempo, then u choose to adjust the tempo and on around 2:40 the groove sounds even more powerful and groovy to get you moving literally. What is shocking is Mario has mastered polyrhythms which is heard from this groove, like he’s playing like cascading triplets with the left hand on the snare and Tom Tom drums, and maintaining the 8th note groove on the floor Tom and cowbell. Hope u develop more grooves like that in the future, keep up the great work Mario, and Happy Halloween 🎃🎃👏🎶🎵😁👍🧟‍♂️⚡️

One of the best and most complete drum solo videos I've ever seen, it has it all: 1. An incredibly talented and experienced musician with many technical skills, full of expression, authentic style and a story to tell. 2. The drum selection and tuning are just perfect. 3. The audio engineering is amazing, preserving the sound of the drums and cymbals with incredible accuracy 4. The aesthetics of the video montage (artist and drums in the foreground), nothing clumsy or distracting (no mics, no wires, no backgrounds, excellent framing and balance). Congratulations to the entire team of highly professional and perfectionist people involved!
