MARIO DUPLANTIER DRUM SOLO 2024 "ARMOR"

[@MarioDuplantierOfficial]

Thank you all for tuning in 🙏

[@bbwait2718]

Vraiment génial! ❤

[@badumtss89]

Cheers Mario, incredible drum solo indeed!

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

We love you bro.

[@fabril2673]

You’re my favourite drummer Mario

[@louiscroc12]

Excellent comme chaque année !!!

[@Technatura83]

2:02 Pick it up, Neiman!.....FASTER!

[@cherforza3271]

Whiplash ❤

[@thedeadharvester6606]

Not my tempo

[@veenoir1991]

Mario's solos always go from: "yo, this is awesome! I bet I can do this part" To: ".....holy shit."

[@aldack]

The perfect example of this is 1:55

[@lastditch727]

So true lol

[@astrolopitekos]

Was going to comment the same lol. Plus how the solos are so different from one another.

[@damirmejric3441]

... within a few seconds, in my case...

[@DazsdWTP]

the difference is that this one went from 10-100 in the space of 0.03 seconds

[@af11-10]

I could listen to a whole album of mario just jamming on the drums no vocals no guitar just pure drums. You are an absolutely unreal drummer

[@shanerogers3869]

In a few years you’ll be able to whip up an album

[@iCookCrystalMeth]

[@robertmeklosk1277]

That’s kind of what I thought too but sometimes you just want to hear some heavy shit like this

[@juniornascimento2322]

Escutar ele é muito bom pra estudar! ❤😮

[@rheathesaturnmoon9124]

The fact that with every drum solo mario posts, i at least once have the thought, “i’ve never heard any other drummer do something like that” is what makes Mario one of my favorite drummers. He just is so ingenious when it comes to making something which is catchy while still blowing my mind every single time. Thanks for being such an inspiration, Mario!

[@ericwagner7243]

Well said. Creative . He's got a unique style approach

[@Cybothron]

Mario is arguably the most creative drummer ever.

[@Stoovey24]

He's creative, for sure...but most creative ever?!​ You haven't heard many other drummers. @@Cybothron

[@Cybothron]

@@Stoovey24 I'm not sure how to even quantify creativiness but in terms of creating patterns I've never heard before Mario Duplantier is at the top of the mountain right now.

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Same. His inclusion of double strokes is a nice touch too.

[@WishMount]

How does one hit THAT hard but still look so fluid. Freak of nature, so glad i’ve seen him live

[@truesnuh4781]

He is a force of nature on stage, I'd die of a heart attack after 2 or 3 songs trying to hit that hard.

[@mdneke635]

I’m impressed how each of your drum solos are so unique from each other. The way you play is absolutely genius.

[@georgemoreno2770]

nice cymbal work

[@andras.89]

I wish modern albums would have this clear and rich, dynamic drum/cimbal sound. That ride....

[@83lpfan]

underrated comment.

[@ptakleo]

Yes, but It's expensive

[@lwandisompembe3521]

@@ptakleo why?

[@DaemonDrummer33]

@@lwandisompembe3521 It's not that hard to find a nice, relatively inexpensive studio for tracking if you're in the right city. But even if you track in a great room, finding a great mixer to mix those great natural drums is probably gonna cost if you want the mix to be truly competitive with the top artists. Mid-tier mixer costs are typically anywhere from 650-1k+ per track. The most in-demand guys might want at least a few thousand+ per track from my personal experience. And it can go way beyond a few thousand

[@alexandrehopeson3048]

Look at that aggression.. They have been cooking something super heavy lately

[@iwillspam5985]

Let them cook!!

[@jez_77]

The part that starts at 0:52 sounds to me like something that could be implemented in one of the new songs from their upcoming album. For some reason it just feels right to imagine Joe playing some heavy riff when the double kicks joins.

[@saturn5087]

Flawless as the ocean, fluent as a river, timing as a clock, perfect precision. Mario is just a beast on drums, groovy and heavy combination in his rhythms. 🥁

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Ditto.

[@teachingfeller]

I don’t know which is more amazing- the technique, the grooves, or just the drum tones! Unreal

[@rlibby404]

for real, those tones got me locked in like a hunting dog

[@XiyuYang]

Yeah how was he even miking the kit, it sounded crystal clear

[@extreme_drums]

Me again… what was that ending!?!?!? Goddamnit, a blast beat using the rack tom?!?! Insane!

[@ih8urband]

Alex pelletier invented that. Another ridiculous drummer. But Mario is the best

[@ZacharyDial]

My 1-year-old for whatever reason really loves watching drummint videos, so thanks for making this!

[@bobbyhilda5880]

Watching videos is not good for a 1 year old, listening is much better.

[@JasperGom]

That bit starting at 1:26 is absolutely mindbending :O

De la frappe, tu est INCROYABLE !!! MERCI MARIO !!

These drum solos perfectly illustrates a battle with a fierce beast in the woods, at least in my head.

[@lewismaclean8849]

Dude, that was WOW. I think this is now my favourite drum solo you've done, after that it's the Movement solo which was absolutely bonkers.

[@BecksDad93]

Criminally underrated. Will go down as the best solo of 2024. Hands down! ❤️

[@AphoticDoom]

I just started playing drums 3 days ago and this motivates me beyond expression. Well done.

I don't think i've ever seen a better 'flowing' drummer..especially with that clarity, power and precision.

No1 Metal drummer at this moment... Merci Mario for your uniqueness and exquisite taste in drumming. You've reshaped the metal scene!

[@yohanscold2149]

This is simply unbelievable. It’s tempting to chalk these sorts of musical feats up to some Faustian bargain; but, that is a complete attack on this man’s years of dedication. The skill that Mario has is incredible. A once an era happening.

[@Zaher24]

his man posts once a year and never disappoint us!!

[@cThreep]

That was one of the most musical drum solos I’ve ever heard. I could basically hear a song there.

[@jamessmith-hq5mr]

Definitely among the most unique and creative drummers around.

To Mr. Duplantier, not only have you revealed drumming secrets like a magician, you have now helped change the coarse of history for musicians.

[@ElZorro_memes_games_stuff]

0:53 would be the perfect beginning of a whole song!! The tingling of the hihat with the the snare as the driver and then the exploding bassdrum, snare still in the driver seat. That would be awesome!

[@Oddmoore]

My eyeballs froze and my mouth is dry now from hanging open. Lol Man. Mario is the most artisitc drummer around. He's highly unique and an absolute surgeon on the set. Incredible! ❤️

Mario is there for us, every single year, to make us all feel hopelessly inferior. Such a reliable guy.

[@MrBat60]

Mario, étant moi même batteur ,je trouve ton style très originale et hors du commun, tu ne fais pas ce que font tous les autres grands drummer, tu es un créateur, un style propre à toi, ta batterie chante notamment cette vieille TAMA, en repique que des overheads et le son est superbe, tes solos sont toujours un plaisir à écouter ,à différence des autres qui veulent toujours surplomber en débit bass drum où tous les solos se ressemblent,, toi tu joues, ta batterie sonne, chante et c'est ton jeu, bravo.

[@EricJh21690]

Man that little polyrhythm section around 1:30 is so good. Also this man looks like his arms are made of rubber or something when he plays..it's wild 😂 All while also hitting crazy hard..just look at how big/far he swings the sticks when hitting. Crazy.

[@valentino140]

It handles it as calmly as possible, effortlessly, smoothly and it sounds sooo great

[@daviddicara991]

Mario! You are so musical! You are so helpful in teaching my students the reason why they should practice their rudiments! Also, your solo's are full of creative linear drills! Can I assume that many of your solo's are born out of your practice sessions? Love your musicality soloing concepts and phrasing! There are very few drummers who I enjoy listening to solo and you are at the top of the list! Bravo!!

Hoping to see you guys back in the area next summer 🤞
