Drummer stunned by El Estepario Siberiano - Blinding Lights reaction

[@thejesseayy]

This man has helped me realize that I don't always have to play my covers so close to the original song. I'm obviously nowhere near his level, but I'm not afraid to deviate a bit from the original if I feel like it works

[@Uphold-your-Rights]

Always. It's the best way to discover new fills and work on timing.

[@ENikolaev]

Learning to do this on piano was 100x easier. Instead of hearing some sevant’s rendition, I just figured out the melody, understood what notes HAD to be played and when, and then allowed my own melody to come out of it :)

[@MrBPC76]

Three drums and a relatively simple set of cymbals... what he creates with sets like these is amazing

[@snapgab]

Yeah that's part of what I love about him, he generally sticks to a small and humble drum kit.

[@flyingardilla143]

His versions of songs with electronic drums are the best. Also, his audio engineering is impeccable.

[@nancysewell6670]

He's an amazing, technical and creative drummer. Just amazing.

[@jeromysmith2486]

Honestly I need this version on Spotify because the sound is so much warmer than the original production.

[@jonathanpradier2490]

What a lucky guy not having discover his massive performance on this one yet!! 😉🤩🫠

[@blaynewilson1549]

You know its going to be crazy when homeboy already has two extra drumsticks locked and loaded in his waistband

[@Michele-Elise]

His cross-stick technique is so cool! Never heard it done that way before. This was an immaculate and clean performance.👏

[@SteveOGRock]

Immaculate is the right word ✅

[@personreanimation]

Dude is too good it is insane.

[@Mebucko]

Like a magician! Amazing the way he tossed his drum stick from his left hand to his right hand and grabbed the stick from his waist with his left hand and now has two sticks in his right hand and one in his left hand and now is playing up and down on the symbol with his right hand never missed a beat with his right hand or his left hand or his right foot or his left foot No I'm not going to add punctuation or capitalisation or indentation definitely not abbreviations This guy is freaking amazing

[@SteveOGRock]

Haha loved the lack of punctuation here

[@paulbonge6617]

Not a third in his belt that's the fourth one! I'm always amazed how so many miss that switch.

[@indus3270]

Commenting before I pressed play: This is going to be a fun one, EES' version of blinding lights, reviewed by a drummer, always a crowd pleaser!

[@chrisp.14]

1:46 no, the third drumstick is already used because he uses them on the cymbal. In the beginning he got 2 drumsticks in his pants. Watch from @ 1:30 on how he grabs one to play those cymbal "double" strokes.

[@VladShadz]

I was actually doing this cross stick roll on a stick technique sometimes when I was playing but no body ever heard of that in my small town so everyone thought I was weird, I just loved the way it sounded so I tried to incorporate it sometimes, but eventually had to faze it out cause others didnt know how to play with it lol

[@ukdnbmarsh]

there is no doubt in my mind that El Estepario is the GOAT , untouchable.

[@robote7679]

Another great really informative reaction. Thanks!

[@robertwright7937]

This man has *time*

[@nhoelyagalan675]

Jorge es Fantástico!

[@guerro327]

Bro started with two sticks in his waistband and grabbed one to do the up and down on the symbol. So fast you missed it. Threw it away and grabbed the fourth stick later to do the same.

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

You've got to check out how his creativity and his musicality has his sticks singing/rapping with Eminem's Godzilla. Then check out Baddadan too. I'll bet you're going to watch and study each one like ten times. You see something new each time. Watch this video ten times and you'll know what I mean. Don't blink!!!

[@SamuelR007]

If he doesn't go down in history as one of the bests, I'll lose all faith in music.

[@kingvii7250]

@@SamuelR007 music?? This is just circus act! Music is the thing he plays along with...

[@Floren_Andro]

@@kingvii7250 🤡

[@jasonknotts5001]

He has to join a band that ends up being super popular for a long time. Otherwise he will be forgotten. Just playing covers won't cut it.

[@Floren_Andro]

@@jasonknotts5001 You obviously don't know Saratoga, right? Why would you do it if it is "only" a Spanish heavy metal band founded in 1992 and recognized as one of the best in the 21 Spanish-speaking countries (550 million inhabitants)??? This was the last band that El Estepario was in before returning to its KZbin format and later creating his own band (The Cost). Maybe you should educate yourself better before opening your mouth.

[@jasonknotts5001]

@@Floren_Andro no one I know has heard of that band. They're obviously not super popular internationally. That's the kind of fame and originality it takes to be remembered and regarded as one of the best by the masses. Maybe you should just keep your mouth shut from now on as to not make an ass of yourself.

[@albertofebles6743]

eres la bomba the best

[@andrijagorup3678]

Evryone must watch , mr.Estepario when i performed drum cover of NUMB . That ' s inseine .

[@b3s13g3d]

I can't listen to the original when it comes on the radio without being disappointed. Now do his cover of "Baddadan" by Chase & Status.

[@finto182]

Is he the best drummer in the world right now? He blows my mind constantly lol

[@ewendavidhendrymcgregor1920]

Good video. Also something interesting to me, he's got a half Scottish and half of some NA accent. It's similar to one I put on here in Finland so people can understand what I say xD.

[@moresoysauce5489]

Dude is a god

[@Alec46]

He doesn't drop sticks 💪

[@Spin1968]

The human typewriter 😅

[@claudianicolaiescu7870]

[@user-fr8hx4pn6g]

he have 2 in right hand drop 1 and then again he use 2 at the same time in right hand

[@user-vl5sm9wu1s]

If you haven't seen his "cover" of Eminem 's - Godzilla you should it blew my mind & I'm a metal guy too . He came up with a couple new tricks in that one as well

[@SteveOGRock]

Ooooh thanks for the tip.

[@SteveOGRock]

Do I need to know the original? Not heard that song before.

[@user-vl5sm9wu1s]

​@@SteveOGRock I never heard it before I saw his video so I can't really say - however I know you won't be disappointed either way ( your preference) his power ,speed & creativity is on another level & I've probably seen close to 100 of his videos

[@user-vl5sm9wu1s]

I'd also love to hear your opinion of him doing "Toxicity " by System of a Down on a handpan drum - not really being familiar with the handpan it was one of the coolest things I've seen (& beautiful)

[@xRuralJuroRx]

It's not a floor tom, it's a snare drum. He's using 2 snare drums.

[@WishMount]

He is insultingly clean

[@SteveOGRock]

Well put ✅😂

[@soupatos483]

Your American accent is pretty impressive.

[@SteveOGRock]

I lived in the US when I was a kid. The American accent has stuck around since then really.

[@davidsmith-th1kh]

Want to know the definition of limb independence? Watch this video

[@statorcs]

For the longest time it's always been on my mind as to why he hasn't joined/started a band yet. He clearly has the talent - but its likely he might make more money from content creation than he would by being in a band. I do wonder if any big bands have actually hit him up to drum for them though

[@NefariousPorpoise]

He is in a band.

[@SamuelR007]

He's in a band now.

[@user-fl6ul9zs2m]

His own band-The Cost is the name

[@perrymanso6841]

He's been in a band for almost a year already... Is called "The Cost" and they already got 3 songs out...

[@kfizz]

He started his own band.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

The original used a drum machine not a human

[@KevinSchunn]

ironically, this version also has a drum machine, not a human.

[@Bill123058]

that's not a floor tom, it's a snare.

[@dannysteele4442]

[@davemcc9642]

Yup!

[@Bill123058]

he has two sticks in his belt. watch them.

[@davemcc9642]

I'm new to you, have you done any Ren or The Warning ?

[@SteveOGRock]

This is a rock focussed channel so if you search my videos you will find a couple of The Warning, but you won’t find any Ren.

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

have you seen any matt maguire?

[@kingvii7250]

You should not ask how... you should ask WHY.

[@ChrisStephens-jz3tc]

El Beast is using two snares (a black snare and a gold snare) not a snare and a floor tom my friend 👍👍👍

[@SteveOGRock]

How unusual!

[@paulquaife7974]

​@@SteveOGRockThey are different tones though, the 'floor tom' is like a bass snare

[@jaynicholas523]

Check aha take on me

[@gdevelek]

Dude, that little window where you show the video you're reacting to? Can you make smaller? And your own face, bigger? That would be swell. Thanks!

[@marianoromano484]

i dare u listen to original song. u r gonna listen ONLY to EES cover from now on. it happens to me. and not only this song!

[@roadboat9216]

Thanks for the video. PS. I don’t need to be able to count the hairs in your beard and then only squint at your featured drummer. Otherwise very nice. Yes, remembered when h introduced that pedal.

[@SteveOGRock]

If you didn’t count every single beard hair I will be sorely disappointed. COUNT THEM!!!! 😂

[@johnpuskar4269]

video and audio out of sync

[@SteveOGRock]

Yes, for the video-in-video it is unfortunately not possible to have it totally sync’d without doing some post-OBS-recording re-edit which I just don’t have time for these days.

[@ronwalters7484]

Technically amazing but horrible to listen to in my opinion. Not tasty in the least.
