DRUMMER REACTS EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO BLINDING LIGHTS - THE WEEKND - DRUM COVER

[@MattCanev419]

That's acully super cool that you let his sponsorship part play. Very respectful 👍

[@Negrocomoelmal]

Agreed. He deserves. You too both.

[@pitvader2]

Thought exact the same xD.

[@Hustler-EJ]

EXACTLY. RESPECT!!!

[@Spinlayer]

Spanish here from Spain... you know what I love of your reactions? Everything, but to be honest, you are the ONLY one, THE ONLY ONE who reacts and let the video finish to let him promote. The only one. That say A LOT about the kind of person you are. Keep it going! (Apologies for my English).

[@mariosan5943]

Amen hermano

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Lol (apologies for my Spanish)

[@clarencemcglynn114]

Never apologize for speaking another language! If you hadn't told me, I would not have known. Your awesome, keep doing you! 😊

[@LaCuentaDeYouTube]

Total y absolutamente. Bien dicho.

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

Your Spanish is great!

[@MikeKobb]

Go back and check out the stick flips again! Each time he does that, he retrieves one of the extra sticks from his waistband and then uses a double stick technique on the right-hand hi-hat!

[@CP-mb7ly]

Double high hat!

[@robarment7133]

Exactly. However, it took me about 5 watches to get there. So much happening at once.. Around the 4th time I realized hey! his extra sticks are disappearing, then on the 5th watch I just focused on that. The transition to using 3 sticks at once is just batsht crazy.

[@SDesWriter]

The mind blowing thing is all that is the EASIEST way to go from what he was doing to what he needs to do. He flips the stick to facilitate the switch and I don't know how else he could do it. The fact that he can do it while he's still switching back and forth on the footpedal is the reason that he's the most popular drummer in the world that doesn't play in a famous band.

[@geodio]

Dude's limits are no longer physical. It's his imagination. Apotheosis of drums. He's transcended.

[@TheMeanor]

What is after transcendance because our boy is still young and has several decades worth of drumming in front of him?

[@Wildkoala1]

He’s transcended into a groove

[@wrxboi80]

The limit does not exist

[@Robin87091]

@@wrxboi80 He's proved that

[@luigimario4458]

He transcended through hard, hard work and dedication! 🤩

[@phimuskapsi]

He has perfect limb independence. He's shown an exercise he does where he does 4 different rhythms, one with each limb: 3/4, 4/4, 5/8, 6/8. He's a robot, from the future.

[@annebokma4637]

Catching a flipped stick with the hand that already holds a stick... impressive by itself. And yes doing all the other stuff at the same time.. god level If we didn't like you talking we wouldn't be here, you do you.

[@jeffreywilliamson4863]

You mention the sticks in his pants but didn't comment as he used them and then discarded them. I had to pause a few times to see two sticks in his right hand. Great vid. Cheers.

[@_mExitus_]

Dude. El Estepario is ... well, no words can sum that up. And everyone is reacting to him now. but... But, you're the only one not only reacting to him but kinda breaking things down and pinpointing stuff even I, as a past drummer, don't realise. And on top of fucking that, you genuinely enjoy him rocking like that and you especially also enjoy yourself. Awesome. Thank!

[@pippip9927]

You have my favorite reactions to The Groovefather. Your technical commentary and just the sheer joy you have. Your love for music is super infectious in the best way. Im here for it.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Appreciate you!!!

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

My nephew was born a year ago. Had some issues sleeping so I started taking him with me for naps, first I played Journey faithfully....and he fell asleep..Then it was Faithfully, Love Bites, Wind of Change and I wanna Know What Love is and he was always falling asleep. One day I observed him waving his arms up and down like he was playing the drums so, I tried something out. I just put video's up with drummers. Within a month he was falling asleep to Estepario S. videos. Everyday now..we listen to his videos and for some reason they sooth him and allow him to fall asleep.. well after about two minutes of him trying to imitate Estepario.

[@DamienMackay]

You straight up didn't notice him using 2 sticks in one hand, didn't you 😂

[@basketballhistory6151]

I was looking for this comment LOL he seriously didn't. To be 100, I didn't either until the 2nd time I watched it lol Freaking crazy.

[@gatlygat]

Completely missed it both times LOL

[@GazerPlur420]

His response to every comment mentioning it is "One band one sound" lol So yes, he absolutely missed them because he was too busy gushing about the pedal and footcam

[@Maver1cK..]

3 sticks, single double pedals, rim hit in crazy speed.. he is a beast..

[@shanedelgado666]

Multiple things that are almost impossible done alone, but he does them together and does them fcking perfectly. He's just astounding...... he doesn't really make sense. He's doing so many subtle things that most people don't even comprehend, let alone doing them together at once.

[@drcurioustube]

Possibly the best drummer ever. He has a special brain, and the physicality to express it.

[@chrishatton2642]

I actually like his version better than the original, which has a very basic drum line. I just noticed that while he is doing his 3-stick magic, at the same time he is switching between single and double pedal, he is also using his left foot to open and close his left hi-hat. Absolutely insane.

[@bartnachtuitkijker7056]

I have seen many EES videos now, and the algorithm has shown me many "reacts to" videos as well as a result. Very often, the people reacting are not contributing anything at all, and are instead trying to (and succeeding) in surfing along. You, on the other hand, add your genuine, heartwarming and well-informed reactions and actually make watching his video more entertaining. I'd say you're Asmongold-good in reacting. Cheers!

[@zigatretjak75]

Siberiano must have 4 brains-one for each limb. This is close to perfection and I love the reaction!

[@JCDeLasse]

It was amazing that you let the sporsonship run after he finished playing. Great way to support a guy that helped you make content. I have just seen a couple of your reactions, but I've already sucribed to your channel to support you too. In my mind, good actions must attract other good actions, so... hope you do really well.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Thank you for the support!!!

[@pradhilia6111]

Exactly what i wanted to comment !

[@davidkloss2883]

At the beginning you mentioned the extra sticks stuck in his pants, but you missed him use them. If you seen it you should have mentioned it..... ...because he traded his left stick to his right hand, with a stick flip to his right hand, giving him two sticks in his right hand, while he pulled a extra stick out of his pants with his left hand, then played alternating 16th notes with both right hand sticks on the splash. If that wasn't enough, he then drops one of the right hand sticks to go back using only one stick on each hand, without missing a beat. TWICE! It's so smooth you don't even notice because his feet are doing such amazing things. When he drops the double right stick it's almost as if it simply disappears. Not only is he master level drumming, but he's genius level composer as well!

[@hitmanvr6]

His limb independence is God tier. If y'all haven't seen it yet, he has a video where he's playing 4 different beats with each limb. Add in the INSANE accuracy, speed, precision, depth of understanding what sounds great!!

[@DJRaevenHeart]

People: 'True' multitasking can't be done. Other people: "This guy." I'm glad you got around to watching this. One of my favorites alongside other Talent-Challenge covers, like the speed needed for "Through the Fire and the Flames" ~ Dragon Force. Looking forward to more reacts. o7

[@RutgersKnox]

Found him on TikTok; his reaction videos are my new wormhole. Yours are by far the most technical! That rimwork alone is god-mode.

[@jamese.5772]

Not only is he the best drummer in the world, he's also a magician!

[@arrowphillips6902]

You never commented on the reasoning for flipping the stick and that was so that he could grab a stick out of his waist band and then catch the spinning stick out of the air with the same hand and then he went over to the symbol and floor Tom without missing the timing all while going from single pedal to double pedal 🤯 mind blowing

[@dilbergonzalez783]

Shut up! NO KEEP TALKING. You keep it REAL AND HILARIOUS!!! This reaction was awesome.

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

Can we talk about the stick flip to the right hand and proceeding to play with 2 sticks in that hand?! Lol not to mention everything you said. This is bananas.

[@malnfc8565]

You are def in my fav reaction channels. The details breakdown from someone who actually knows how difficult everything is. Very refreshing

[@OldSkuleNerd]

thank you very much

[@TheNinja691]

Your reactions to Siberiano are the best of all the reaction videos I’ve seen

[@renatastoop2829]

I'm sorry but the drummers from really big and famous bands can learn something from El Espetario. He is by far the best and my favorite drummer ever. He's just insanely good

[@bluestriana1834]

Jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja

[@bluestriana1834]

Creo que deben aprender a fumar y beber café mientras tocan jajajaja

[@kathehun6034]

Big like man ! Iam a guitar player but like to hear a pro commenting on his drumming . The dude is insane for real and you can verify his insanity !

[@gziggy82]

You noticed the sticks in the pants, but missed it both times as he removed them to play the hihat. 😂 That's a testament to just how quick and smooth El Estepario Siberiano is

[@GroovinWithAPict]

Missed both times...

[@JamoonXerxesSauber]

Like a magician with the slight if hand

[@OldSkuleNerd]

One band one sound

[@j0hnn13K]

Funny how it is so flawless that you can hardly notice he is using 3 drum sticks, twice!, in the song. I can see how he gets his 3rd stick involved, how he holds it (to some degree), but i cannot pinpoint when, and how, he gets rid of the 3rd stick again. This guy ofc was born with a talent for drumming and keeping a beat, but this level he is at, takes 1000's and 1000's of hours practice on just the techniques alone, let alone the countless of hours perfecting all those techniques to a point that he can use them at will at any time he needs or wants it, this is what dedication gets you. He's unreal.

[@davidwachania5224]

Awesome and Honest reactions. One of the best. Estepario is not from planet earth . He's an Alien from planet Drumstaris

[@morgarthe8120]

I'm so intrigued by his techniques and little tricks. Took me 3 or 4 times watching to realize how he does the hi-hat within the chorus, because i did not notice that he uses the extra sticks. Enjoyed your reaction as always, best start for the weekend i could wish for.

[@Xiroi87]

Same here, I suddenly noticed he only had one stick in his waistband his t-shirt and trousers, so I had to go back to see what he'd done and when. There's so much to take in, your eyes can't keep up.

[@brendaeaster8874]

Estepatio is a machine, a cyborg.

[@faheedalajmi7487]

Look at his feet, it’s a dance. A well executed dance.

[@ashrakkrazlegan6114]

You are reactions are the best. And the best thing about them is that you are not afraid to react in a honest way, if you feel like talking a lot or less just do it, that's why its a reaction. People who let themselves get afraid and not talk because "ohh my viewers are gonna ask me to shut up so they can listen to the original video", the hell with that. Well done!

[@MrDmadness]

4:35 he also grabbed A SECOND stick from the quiver to hit doubles with 2 sticks . So. Stick flip, Grab second stick AND switch pedal mode . Best drummer ever. .. EVER.

[@jerolapating3827]

It's not a floor tom, it's a second snare with a lower tuning. Got a huge respect to this guy!!!

[@Nirotix]

1/16th high hat is fucking ridiculous. 🐐 GOAT.

[@Primeau.crypto]

And ALL that WHILE KEEPING PERFECT ANALOG TIMING. He's his own breed.

[@darielolivera2103]

I have seen many reactions to this video and only 2 people have been able to notice those details and the worst thing is that in their title they say they are drummers. Thank you for making us see the best details of the video for those of us who are newbies, that gives us better signals to continue practicing... regards.

[@UKSkaface]

The look of sheer joy on your face here is great to see - too many reactions are just OTT or faked for attention. You can't fake a smile like yours - or the nerdgasms.

[@Rocky-N-Angel]

Did you notice he also during the stick flip he also grabbed a stick from his waist band and is using 2 sticks on the cymbal. He is amazing.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

One band one sound

[@K8Stuff]

My favourite cover for sure

[@lorddrake2418]

That man is not a man. He is from somewhere else. That is talent X practice and then doubled. WOW!!

[@mattusapparatus5968]

The fact that you paused it right at 4:24 and completely missed him pluck out an extra stick so he could play those single handed 1/16th hats made me die a little inside

[@ioman9252]

Kudos Man! Very fair play to let the sponsoring on! You are great & fun. Fred

[@DanielRyder]

The stick switch is insane... The Fact that he had ammo for the chorus is beyond insane.

[@dmwalker24]

You know, I watch Danny Carey playing Pneuma, or Neil playing half of the Rush discography and they're absolutely phenomenal. Two of my all-time favorite drummers, but the Groovefather here... His technique is so disgustingly tight, clean, efficient, and interesting. It still feels a bit strange to say he's the best drummer I've ever seen, but it's more or less true. You don't develop this level of technique without a very deep understanding of the instrument and just music generally.

[@MrDmadness]

I hear ya.. I see new impressive stuff in videos of him I've seen long ago that I missed among all the other crazy stuff. Imo hes the best drummer I've seen or heard.. by a bunch, and I've seen many very good drummers

[@zachary_smith1]

Right there with ya. Danny Carey and buddy rich were my favorites until him

[@AnthonyBowman]

@@zachary_smith1 Matt Garstka from Animals As Leaders is the only one who even comes close, for me. Benny Grebb or JoJo Mayer are in distant, distant 3rd and fourth.

[@zachary_smith1]

@@AnthonyBowman oh thanks never heard of matt gartska ill check it out

[@teehee90005]

I subbed because you let the ENTIRE video play.

[@DamienMackay]

You looked away as he grabbed the third stick and then went on a rant about being distracted by the stick toss, then when you played it back the second time, you missed it again coz you put your hand over your face 😂.... Who's the distracted one here? 😂😂😂 You were so busy focusing on his footwork that you missed the point of the stick toss... it was to allow him a transition to grab the third stick!!!! And you missed it hahaha

[@roryt1985]

I think it’s because to pro / educated drummers the footwork is more impressive / difficult than the stick flip

[@DamienMackay]

@@roryt1985 an observant person would notice both. I've played in a band with a drummer who owned a dualist so I've seen it in action many times. I also play all the drums on my solo releases. The point I was making was that he was making fun of the stick toss and saying don't get distracted by it and in doing so, he missed the fact that the stick toss gave his right hand a chance to grab the third stick. He didn't mention the third stick at all. I'm not giving the stick toss any more importantance than the footwork, I'm just highlighting that he was all like "don't get distracted!" And then proceeded to get distracted 😂

[@12hmbkjayant57]

Speechless reaction😂

[@peterkenzler6710]

I’ve viewed quite a few reactions to this by professional Drummers and I haven’t heard anyone yet mention that Estepario is actually performing Dual Gravity Blasts. They seem to only notice his right hand, but not the couple of seconds each time where the left hand is also Gravity Blasting, at the same time 😳 I love your drum reaction the best though, OSN ❤

[@shamberrojaslancellotti7880]

Love that you let the man do the “outro” 100% deserved, great reaction greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 🔥

This guy is rewriting the textbooks for drumming. He's like... nah nah nah... that's how we used to do it. This is how we'll be doing it from now on.

Yo hes so skilled i cant yell you how much i love his brain.😊

[@Blinknone]

He has become one with.. melded into.. his drum set. It's the only explanation.

[@leebeeskee]

I'm not a drummer and I noticed the stick flip to 3 sticks both times. EVERY reaction I've seen from drummers has them always missing it and it takes a delicious moment away from me where I'm excited to see their reaction.

[@brucedklein]

I've noticed that too. My working theory is that for pro drummers, the stick tricks are among the least impressive things he is doing. Whereas for a non-musician like me, they are flashy and immediately easy to appreciate without explanation, while I need more knowledgeable people to explain what's tricky about the rim hits, gravity blasts, etc etc.

[@GazerPlur420]

It's because they haven't seen the single-double pedal video he has out and are mesmerized by what it does. People who have already seen that video and know what it does are not too distracted by the footcam therefore able to catch the stick tricks. Every drummer mentions the bass pedal as soon as it comes into play lol

[@JOOSEMAN78]

[@Titokhan2]

near complete and total limb independence.. and that its all done at a sub conscious instinctive level is just mind blowing

[@soulessshadow5356]

I thought that Dualist pedal was a heel kick switch, and that he was tapping a floor tom(in this case, a modified snare with a deeper tone that he's used in other videos) with his right foot when he takes it off the bass pedal tbh. Regardless whether it's a heel kick switch or he's pulling his foot completely off the bass pedal to make the switch, it's fucking impressive to do that WHILE also playing insanely fast, powerful, and accurate as well as intricately. Edit: Also you're correct OldSKule, Both Numb and Blinding Lights are on synthesizers. For Numb, Joe Hahn did all the synth work and then Rob Bourdon added live drums over it. This was also done with Dua Lipas "Break My Heart" where the song was done on Synth, and then Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith did live drums for the track after. Blinding Lights, however, is full synth no live drums so that just further makes what Jorge did even more impressive.

[@phimuskapsi]

You press the right side to engage double pedal and press to the left to go single. I think it would take quite a bit of practice to get used to it mid-song.

[@theflatbunny8322]

"did you watch you're own hands??" 😂😂😂

Grabbing the third stick was pretty cool. Dudes got it!

[@ScottLawson-m1r]

this is killer watching your reactions to this guy you missed him using double sticks on a cymbal

[@ShinnaDEW]

The godlike move is flip the stick to his right. Catches it. Grabs a 3rd stick from his pants. To play double stick with the right WHILE he does the switch on the pedal! And he does the flip trick twice and nailed it 101% both times. He is simply not a human!🤣It almost feels like he does this tiny little mistakes on purpose. To let us think he could be a human after all.😂

[@timothyhosek3551]

Like watching micheal Jordan playing in his day. Pure magic enjoyment. And he makes it look EASY!!! Wtf. Right.
