Reacting to Eloy Casagrande in Slipknot!

[@brazilianmmalegend]

Eloy plays the drums like we all imagine ourselves playing an imaginary drum set with our favorite bands, except he's actually playing for real...

[@gamebred1910]

People still don't have a clue how good Eloy is, if they saw it from our (drummer's) perspective, they would be literally blown away like I am, I can say without a doubt that Eloy is the GOAT in my books...yes you can find maybe faster drummers and such, but the combination that makes him a monster behind the kit is his power, precision, dynamics, technique, groove, style, creativity, coordination out of this world, sick chops, sick pocket, insanely good sound from his whole kit...I never compare drummers or anything else, some drummers have better this or better that, but the drummer that has it all is Eloy, that's why he is the goat for me

[@FantasySportsZen]

We'll find out on their next album. I'll give him best current power drummer, while El Estepario has best current chops. I like his stuff with The Cost, can't wait for new Slipknot.

[@gamebred1910]

@@FantasySportsZen We already saw the creativity of him on his projects, especially with Sepultura...I'm also a drummer and I can confidently say Eloy's chops are more creative, most chops and fills I hear from Siberiano I instantly figure it out how to play them in my head and on the set, but when Eloy's plays his chops, I literally need someone to write them on paper for me so I can figure them out, they are not just simple RL KK fills, or RLRL KK, Eloy's are out of this world and I literally need a transcription to learn it...Not dissing Siberiano of course, he is one of the best drummers right now and I respect him, but Siberiano himself claims Eloy is the best drummer in the world...There are levels to this like everything else, and Eloy has been creating music for 20+ years so we can't compare the creativity...Also Siberiano plays the fills faster at times in order to make them look harder, but Eloy can play his fills and chops not that fast, but they are so creative and mindblowing I cant copy them...but with Siberiano I can instantly sit on my set and replicate it...Don't get me wrong tho, in no world I'm comparing my drumming to Siberiano haha!

[@InterloperGarage]

I’m not a drummer, but I can tell how good he is. He hits hard and it’s tight on note.

[@mattvideoeditor]

​@@gamebred1910 As a non-drummer, I understand that I don't know how good he is. I mean, I can hear he is a beast. But I don't know exactly how hard it is to do what he does, besides being super fast and hitting extra hard. Worse, I am Brazilian, and I have no clue what people mean by "Brazilian influence." But I do enjoy listening.

[@heavymetal1330]

Saw them live here in brazil (knotfest São Paulo)… f*cking insane… slipknot is back in business again… Eloy was the perfect choice for them… so much power… 🇧🇷🤘🏻

[@rafaelricharddd]

Greetings from Brazil. We are very proud of Eloy Casagrande. Keep rocking bro 🤘

[@whoisjuliano]

é o brasil caralho!

[@adamdodd2853]

Eloy, is the cutting edge of what metal drumming is. The man is absolutely brilliant. A child prodigy who has never stopped. Blowing people’s minds at age 12 and still blowing people’s minds today.

[@wrecker9681]

Eloy is a fucking powerhouse... wonder how his cymbals don't crack

[@setitfree78]

They do. He gets new ones. He's in slipknot.

[@Masterno0dle1337]

I was told by Eloy's drum tech that Eloy gets new cymbals and heads every other show, or every show, based on how froggy he feels from one night to the next. Eloy also plays for about 8 hours a day before his shows. Also, Eloy is so good at his recovery playing, he breaks 1-2 sticks almost every song. And who really notices?

[@rafaelrp07]

Paiste used Eloy to develop a new kit for drummers and metalheads! There are video of Eloy visiting Paiste facilities and talking about that patnership with the brand....

[@jaykye582]

Well, they do break. That's why drummers have more cymbals next to them, on the drums.

[@Flamamacue]

I found out recently that I'm a whole 3 days older than Eloy. It's so cool seeing someone basically the exact same age as me, who would have been jamming it to Joey as a teen living this awesome dream and not only do Joey's part justice bringing the absolute heat to Slipknot. GOAT metal drummer

[@LucasUnser]

E eu ouso dizer, ele ainda está só brincando, nas músicas novas vocês vão ver que ele é um alien

[@_tick_drops_oficial633]

Eloy Big House, the monster!

[@whoisjuliano]

you should search for Eloy playing a solo at rock in rio 2011 with band Gloria, after this sepultura called him.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

HOW is there STILL no drum kit tour vids of Eloy's Slipknot kit?

[@camaradapedro]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqiXmqR3bqmUqpIsi=-Tr19c7Nwu9-CM_9 Now we have

[@thomady]

Fr. He’s got 4 bass drums

[@Sheepstealer8927]

​@@thomadyThe four bass drums are just for show/esthetics..it's been documented that he basically prefers using 1 kick with a double bass pedal. The use of dummy heads/gear has been going on since the Zep days ...Now that being said, I'm sure he could play the snot out of all four bass drums if it comes down to it, specially with his Latin music background, he has polyrhythmic independence for days.

[@Sheepstealer8927]

I like that they are taking their sweet time with those tbh, building the tension 😉.

[@aldolammel]

THIS IS a true react! Cheers dog!

[@Jolgeable]

There is a video on his channel where he plays a Lady Gaga song. Phil Collins too.

[@Grs-im93]

Yeah, I´ll be at Knotfest Brazil tomorrow! Let´s see this F... monster playing Live! \m/

[@Sheepstealer8927]

Thanks for the content, enjoying this type of videos just as much as the comedy ones. Cheers from Canada!

[@dima_r6]

Studying him allowed me to remain calm while playing anything. Now I'm revisiting these Slipknot parts 17 years later going "damn that sounds good now" because of the fusion flair Eloy brings. Matt Garstka's channel is super helpful too for drummers who want to take the next step. Also, if you are learning, play to live versions of stuff in the peak and current eras to see the evolution of the song. IMO it's boring as shit when bar/whatever bands play the record.

[@danperalta9396]

Eloy play every stile, he's a beast

[@XeRo333]

I believe Eloy plays Promark's Forward 5B drumsticks. Which, are really good for speed and power🤘🏼

[@luismonteiro1388]

The drums thinking about themselves.., I didn't imagine we could play and sound like that !!

[@vandavis000]

Im happy if they had pick someone it eloy. Hes a fan and perfect choice for knot.

[@niffingig5143]

Paiste cymbals are the best cymbals, period. I wish I was able to be endorsed by them when I was recording and touring, but at the time, I was using a bunch of random brands because I was breaking cymbals left and right. I just bought whatever, so I didn't have to play with cracked cymbals. I mostly had Paistes, but there were Meinl, Sabian, and Zildjians mixed in. Since 2019, I have only used Paiste. Even though I'm in a fairly technical deathmetal band, I have almost all Paiste Signature Series cymbals on my kit. I have a 14" Sound Formula Reflector Heavy Hi-Hat, 20" Signature Series Dry Ride, 19" and 18" Signature Series Full Crashes, a 16" Fast Crash, 10" Signature Reflector Splash, 10" Signature Series Splash, 16" Signature Thin China, and a good old 18" Alpha China. It's the 2nd gen Rock China. I've had it for 16 or 17 years. I wish I had that set up when it actually mattered.

[@ericfrossardcarvalho7505]

Thanks for this man!!!!

[@ZoranRadovanovDrums]

how is possible to crank that snare that much?! what's the trick?!

[@setitfree78]

He hits all rim shots. Max volume.

[@brunomartinello1114]

The trick is to play (study) +- 8 hours a day for more than 20 years, + doing specific heavy physical trainning to gain strenght/power and endurance, + playing on top notch drum kits. Oh, i was almost forgetting this little detail: you also have to be born to be one of the best (if not the) Not that hard if you ask me.

[@adelsonpriston]

Ele é um prodígio lapidado para ser brutal e técnico.

[@ericanderson4151]

Como um bom brasileiro, posso te dizer que esse cara é simplesmente excepcional no que faz, muito acima dos próprios bateristas brasileiros que são ricos em ritmos diferentes, ele merece estar onde está. Toda sorte do mundo para esse cara!

[@theofficialdrumcovers]

unique

[@klausbremner_autotelic_art]

Eloy and Arik Improta from Night Verses are my 2 favourite drummers.

[@ericfrossardcarvalho7505]

He is a machine gun!!!!

[@TheDanilo716]

Eloy MONSTER Casagrande

[@saulhudson302]

El ssid he was really good before he even joined Slipknot. His top shelf.

[@chewy6638]

he.........hits.......................so.............................................................hard........

[@luismonteiro1388]

Hello 911, I've just witnessed a man murder a drum set!!! provavelmente o melhor de todos os tempos . e só ver os covers dele e verão. Eloy gera energia suficiente para alimentar cidades meus amigos.

[@fl0ok]

You should react to Eloy´s video on Drumeo talking about his presentation when he was 14 yo...

[@whoisjuliano]

very good video! He explains samba, and it explains much things about him

[@DjalmaTorres-en6dr]

1 in 7 billions!

[@boom-kanick3775]

I see that SKB Trap case behind you there. I just got one for a wicked deal. And the guy took off the caster wheels and installed a thick piece of wood on the bottom (then the wheels on that) Strongly suggest. So much beefier dude

[@sanirondreyan]

Casagrande means BIG HOUSE.

[@CasadeBarro]

Eloy é muito foda.

[@afavobeats6238]

you should react to his performance at modern drummer festival 2005 when he was 14 yo

[@tictaquess]

W video

[@mikepastry1162]

Eloy won a literal world gig at 14, them destroyed on someone else's kit lol.

[@embracehorizons]

Bro lets see some dropout king playthroughs!

[@keithreser6022]

Jason Voorhees playing drums! But much faster! Lol!

[@cyanhobbit]

this is what happens when you max out every stat as a drummer

[@STANGm06deGT]

It’s actually pronounced Eloy Casagrange

[@souzaairsoft7859]

Eloy BIGHOUSE!!

[@Kreator65]

He's not in the greatest metal band. He's nos in Metallica.

[@Fists_are_Overpowerd]

He's hitting that drums like they own him money.

[@luismonteiro1388]

see Eloy playing metallica covers - 100 better than Lars black sabbath Lady Gaga and this one AVENGED SEVENFOLD BEAST AND THE HARLOT and so many more see in is channel

[@shotgunchris]

If Cowboy Kent Rollins and Eloy Casagrande came together, worlds would explode of hardcoreness.

[@broman6662]

I dont think his drumming is insane. Literally any black metal drummer is more insane. It just looks insane because he is hitting so hard

[@WeightMade]

What's behind eloy is that in addition to precision and strength, he can place rhythms and shadownotes in the middle of transitions and passages, as well as renewing the drums in slipknot songs.

[@stefanofesta6024]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡 Why people like you talk about things that cannot understand? Ahhhh ok, it's internet 😂🤡
