[@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 !!!

[@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.

[@robertmeklosk1277]

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

[@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

[@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]

I like your videos!

[@alexfessler7589]

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]

@@shanerogers3869ai wishes it could recreate mario

[@SwurvPlays]

I don't care what anyone says, this is art.

Who's gonna argue? Drumming is an artform. One of the oldest ones around.

AUHOOOOUUUUUUUUU

[@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]

sounds like into the storm almost@@jez_77

[@sireffortlessgarbage7922]

Perhaps, the heaviest matter of the universe

[@emmaphilo4049]

[@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.

[@Magnum-uq2we]

Mario you’re the greatest drummer ever!!! cannot wait to hear your new Solo 🔥

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

[@biohazard8295]

Buy him some toy drums!

[@bobbyhilda5880]

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

[@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

[@TheGodzillaTalker]

Le plus grand batteur de métal moderne nous a gratifiés d'un nouveau solo de batterie. Aujourd'hui est un jour incroyable! Im not french, but I'm trying to learn it. It might be a little rough. Thank you, Mario.

[@kirethmetalion702]

Your french is really good 👌

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

[@BecksDad93]

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

[@tinojantti1223]

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 ! 😊🙏🏼

[@hugemetalfan6664]

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

[@AphoticDoom]

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

[@KRIMHDrummer]

This is what we love about Mario. He always plays with emotions and flow

[@Tweedlydeedly]

Mario Dupliantier and Dave Lombardo will forever be my favorite drummers for their spontaneity around the kit.

[@madedwiw9984]

For me, this drum solo video it's like the most exclusive film in this year 🔥

[@zsofiavera4118]

Perfect way to start the day - like a cup of coffee for the senses

[@jamessmith-hq5mr]

Definitely among the most unique and creative drummers around.

[@ebpat]

I've played drums for over 50 years. Mario is very quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite drummers. His patterns and cymbal work are just brilliant! Thanks for posting this! I've already listened to it roughly a hundred times!! 😅

[@Downhuman74]

I love that Mario's kit is never this huge goliath of a set. No triggers, or extra bullshit. It's like he sat down in a Guitar Center somewhere and just started playing. And his playing is just brilliant. It feels grounded and human. Like, if I practice for bit , I feel like I could probably start learning that and putting together some of the individual parts. Whereas, with a lot of other modern drummers, I hear them and go "no way I can sound like that without help".

[@adamwhiting9611]

This might be one of the clearest and best drum sounds I've ever heard

[@Alexandershahid]

That was sick nasty! Love it!

[@SimonLoveridge]

You have my vote. 🐐🔥🥇

[@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!!

[@Chrisped.to.perfection]

I un ironically look forward to this every year

[@maureenwagg5305]

My UN-technical review is that I love watching Mario play drums more than any other drummer. This is 10 "Holy Sh**s out of 10. Wow! omg. I love this kid. Other drummers are talented but Mario has that something else extra. Never ever bored when watching him play. He's so entertaining.

[@pierrehenri2297]

Ça sonne bien come d’habitude!!! 🤙🏻

[@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.
