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 ❤

[@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

[@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.

[@66Samus]

Holy shit man SOO groovy 🤤

[@shaunketterman2985]

Bro I'm just now watching this and was thinking, "I wonder if Samus will react to this??" 😆

[@brianc8852]

[@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]

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

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

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

[@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.

[@onur_bastug]

I THOUGHT DREAM THEATER'S DRUMMERS ARE THE BEST UNTIL I SEE THIS PASSIONATE AND VERY POWERFUL DRUMMING...

[@supernova_lost_astronaut]

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. 🥁

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

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

THIS IS why he is one of the best drummers out there!!!!! No one else can do a drum solo like him!!!!!

[@user-tc4yr5rk2t]

I'm one of the drummers too

[@JasperGom]

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

[@Odds_TV]

1:34 - 1:50 what an absolutely insane sequence

[@CloudsArePotatoes]

My wife didn’t fully understand my excitement this morning, more so didn’t understand how I couldn’t contain myself when this came over. They’ve had such a huge impact on my life recently it’s hard to not get super excited about.

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

I have been a fan of yours for years, and this solo once again proves that you are one of the most creative, powerful and unique drummers today. I have the most admiration towards the way you have put in the work and are expressing yourself through this beautiful instrument. Bravo Mario ! 😊🙏🏼

[@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.

[@cThreep]

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

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

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.

[@jamessmith-hq5mr]

Definitely among the most unique and creative drummers around.

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.

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!!

Vive Gojira et vive les frères Duplantier ainsi que leurs acolytes!

[@phiwolgast]

Better and better every year. Every time I need to motivate myself to get better, I watch your drum solos or listen to Gojira. One of the best drummers of all time, and especially of the modern era.

Fantastique! Le spectacle de Laval avec Mastodon était épique Mario! La dernière fois que j'ai vu une foule conquise comme celle que j'ai vue devant Gojira, c'était pour Rush. Mastodon a tué juste avant et vous, vous avez passé la gratte! On a lévité sur nos sièges! Merci et j'espère que vous n'attendrez pas trop longtemps pour revenir au Québec! Respect!

[@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.

[@uffu2490]

I would pay just to see him play solos. Holy mother of god

[@Apachoid]

Mario t'as vraiment un putain de son avec cette Tama. Le son est moderne, extrêmement riche en harmonique et lourd à la fois. Tu es un batteur de génie, et ce son te rend hommage. Et moi je t'apprécie car tu sers la musique. Tu as une technique, mais tu sers la musique avant tout. Et c'est la marque des grands musiciens. La batterie n'étant pas un sport. Sinon un petit merci donc à Tama et aux ingé qui t'accompagnent dans cette aventure. Ce solo, et le son sont géniaux.

[@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!

Definitely the best of your solo videos. Also, the producer nailed that album-ready Gojira drum sound!
