Mario Duplantier on Mastercraft "The Bell Brass" Snare Drum

[@KenjoMendez]

One day, I'll show my future son these videos and it'll all make sense why I named him "Tama Bell Brass."

[@spaceburger80]

I surrender! You’ve slayed me! 😂

[@majorlee1]

🤘😎

[@mightyV444]

Comment of the day! 😂👍 Here in NZ, there actually _are_ males named 'Tama', as it's also Māori for 'boy'! 😀 There also is a 'Tama Street' in my neighbourhood 😊

[@softfeel_582]

Lol you legend 😂

[@kenancomer4315]

Lolol

[@rippindrummer666]

Easily one of the greatest metal drummers of all time

[@user-qo3xe5bv8l]

Absolutely!! Dude is a monster!

[@travypatty2481]

Drummers in general tbh

[@MissyMuthaTruckiN]

can confirm, saw him 3x live my brain couldn't comprehend it

[@zachjohnson5494]

@@MissyMuthaTruckiNseen them 5 times in the span of about 10 years and he’s only gotten better. I won’t lie and say I’ve loved every musical direction they took with the last few records but Mario’s unbelievably tight playing is a constant and their live shows only get better over time

[@rippindrummer666]

@@zachjohnson5494 I agree 100 percent, I like the older stuff better but seeing them at a 500 person venue back in like 2010 then watching them at a giant outdoor venue last year. Seeing their staff show evolve has been insane

[@joshuachan56]

Couldn't get anymore perfect than having Mario to demo the snare and also play The Art of Dying

[@martinsantalopez3363]

It's incredible how Mario's drums on Gojiras songs are as recognisable as the guitar riffs , like appart of The art of diying , L'Enfaunt Sauvage was so clear. It's just amazing.

That's also true for Dave Grohl. When we remember some Nirvana riffs/songs, the drums always come together with the riff.

[@azertyytreza3005]

La sauce sauvage *

[@peesnlav]

that's because in gojira songs guitars set the rhythmical base of the song with simple riffs and the drums go wild over it. while generally it is the other way around in mainstream metal. drums are the lead instrument in gojira songs

[@la213blanco]

The Cell is another one

[@24HR.B.S]

Just brilliant. Its criminal how long it took the world to notice them. Gojira deserves all the accolades they receive.

[@AirwavesEnglish]

We NEEEEEED another annual drum solo from Mario still from 2023!

[@MissyMuthaTruckiN]

it will happen, oh yes

[@footnotedrummer]

Mario is IMHO... the most amazing drummer on the planet. Truly a beast.

[@bacongl]

That ride is absolutely killer. One of the most distinct pieces on his kit.

[@Hrafnaflokii]

Even the dropping of sticks had rythm and feel to it.

[@respa1656]

Exactly, I think his sticks also practice the rhythm

[@nathanp1011]

This guy is superb at what he does. Truly a master of drumming.

[@markdoss1045]

Mario is freaking INSANE!!! What a beast!!! That bell brass snare sounds amazing-I can listen to him play all day!!

[@unsanitizedbabywipes6154]

i wonder how mario always have the best sound engineers on his showcases. It never fails

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Mario will never cease to inspire me. What a phenomenal drummer ❤

[@patman5659]

Not only the snare is great. But your drums, man, the sound of these drums are super natural and clear. I really love your drum sound.

[@dramaticdrummer0397]

Ive spent years on that drum intro. Love to see it

[@daviddicara991]

I must say, I have been a professional musician for over 35 years and am a lover of drums and drummers and I gotta say, Mario's one of the most musical drummers ever. He has such an amazing combination of power, dynamics, musicality, technicality and such a wonderful time feel and overall musical style...He is a pleasure to listen to, even when he is just playing a simple beat or repetitive sticking on the kit...a JOY!

[@iantouzel638]

Mario est le candidat parfait pour le vidéo demo du bell brass. Qu'elle batteur incroyable.

[@ericdravenX00X]

All i have too say is Back Beat and Rim Shots Mario is just incredible. One of the best drummers i've ever seen!

[@Swampster70]

Those drums, under the hands of that man, sound amazing. The colors and the resonance are astonishing. I can't say in 50 years I've heard drums that good. Mario - amazing as always. I could play a lifetime but die from the art of trying...

[@iloveNgany]

A lot of people could probably play something like this…but who could do it THAT CLEAN. The man is a surgeon

[@CryptoKaiser]

That has to be the best reissue of any legendary snare, also that video blew my head off. Mario, Bravo c'etait magnifique!!!! Tama, hats off to a fantastic instrument, second to none!

[@arifimanov6477]

6:19 that stick drop though

[@DeltaKT]

HAHAH, even Mario's stick throw has groove

[@mathieucocq]

Power and control. Legend of a drummer.

[@71calex]

He says he's a metal drummer but some of their stuff has a real groove to it.

[@maureenwagg5305]

Mario recommends it. That should be good enough for any drummer and he says it suits other styles besides metal, so there you go Tama. Best endorsement ever.

[@Inextasie]

Love the "Ouais ouais, try cent trente" at 1:16 perfect blend of french and english lmao

[@mrbakerthemusicmaker]

Dude is a machine.

[@LuisContreras-jf5fg]

I could cry to this… they gave him a tee! 🥺♥️

[@klimtklavier]

I know. And Anne should have been the one doing the video. And it should have been at Silver Cord. He's not a big talker, and by all accounts, Anne is the one that lets him focus and feel comfortable. But yeah shirtless Mario is Natural Mario.

[@Firectow]

2:11 This rhythm of "l'enfant sauvage" is simply beautiful

[@yugolago]

I had the chance to meet Mario in Montréal. He is a very nice dude and awesome drummer! J’espère avoir la chance de te rejaser un des ces jours Mario!! 🤘🏻👍🏻

[@nenaddjordjevic859]

oh my god, 3:51! i immediately recognized that from the way of all flesh era concerts!!! that solo is one of my favorites from him!

Mario Duplantier is just bad ass on the drums period 🥁😎🤘🏻

[@guill4882]

This video is gold

[@mundoeze]

I hope he put a lot more of his crazy stuff on a new album, specially after watching the drum solos he uploads. In the last two album he sounded a bit more simple and laid back

[@bidhan4848]

Mario doesn’t need drumset. drumset needs him

[@ZemantiX]

My favorite drummer!!

[@pamelatorrijos6340]

“La identidad”, “Tú identidad” Bravo 👏🏼❤

[@PaddleswithBraddles]

Everything about the clip is 👌 The drummer The beats The sound of the kit And of course that snare. Beautiful! 🥁

[@peesnlav]

the only thing missing is a foot cam. but this is an advertisement for a snare drum after all

[@360.Tapestry]

incredible! it sounds like a real snare!

[@BrandonMelvinDrums]

I'm waiting to hear reviews from smaller channels on how this one compares to the original and 40th anniversary one. Other than that, definitely getting one. Just recently picked up one of my grails, a vented OCDP 14x6, now this one. Thanks TAMA for listening to us and giving us another shot at this drum. Now if I could only get Abe Cunningham's signature snare, lol.

[@ruffratamacue]

The Bell Brass+Mario+Gojira = Perfection

His very drumming is storytelling. And everyone loves a good story.

[@peteshifter]

@@eliaselias4647 Yes! But the maple shells sustain is also huge.

[@Assimilator702]

@@peteshifterIt’s not the shell that allows the sustain. It’s the bearing edge and the heads. And of course proper tuning.

You're a beast man!! This snare for 4K looks like Tama was dying to opt in on the Bell Brass speculation "programme"... Maybe they felt like they were missing out if it was only going on in the second hand market.

[@Dechral]

absolute unit

[@Sacred_Silence]

Like, I know the beat. I can see it in my head, I've seen the breakdown of it, but I just can't do it. Not even just my limbs, my brain can't process it as it's happening. Also, who tf has THAT MUCH POWER? Holy hell, he's literally a walking trigger with those perfect hits.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

I'm not even a drummer, but that intro on "Art Of Dying" is utter madness lol. How it's humanly possible to play such a complex pattern, let alone write it, just blows my mind. Mario deserves the recognition he's been getting the last few years, one of the most creative drummers out there!

[@Klakier36]

Mariooo!❤🔥

[@ryanferris8905]

I hope they gave him that snare ! Take it on the next Gojira tour so we can all hear him play it live
