The IMPOSSIBLE Drumming of Eloy Casagrande

[@Ryguypie17]

I like drums I also like the fact that you and Sweetwater are doing something so meaningful! A whole drumkit is amazing. I just moved out of state and didn't have room to move my drum kit, so I only have an e-kit now. A new drumkit would help me break into the Seattle music scene! I bought a pair of the Taylor Hawkins 5B sticks and shipped them to my friend who's getting into drumming. Was really tempted by the EAD mic but money is super tight for me right now. Congratulations to whoever wins!! :)

[@facelen4321]

There is another thing: Eloy is one of the most humble musicians out there. Taking out his ego helps him to get better and work freaking hard. Here in São Paulo he had (or has) a room in a music school and everybody said that when he was not touring, he was there practicing all day long. He started playing the drums at 7 yo and he is 33. So it has been 26 years of hard work. It is much more than the so called 10.000 hours

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

Because the "10,000 hour rule" isn't really a thing. That was just sth Malcolm Gladwell pulled out of his ass based on ONE study of violin players and a few anecdotes, and the authors of that study have even stated that their findings really don't support this supposed "rule". But bc people are simple and like catchy buzzwords like this, it of course spread like wildfire...

[@Samuri5hit84]

​@@Howitchewstofeel5gum Well it's not all wrong. Putting in a certain amount of hours into something will make you very good at it. When I was in school for art my teacher said "If you want to be really good at landscape paintings you have to do at least 800". What he meant is you should not stop at 800 if it's something you enjoy. However 800 paintings is a great start and at that point anyone would be developing a ton of skill and hopefully even some personal style at the point. In summary 10,000 hours is a base, nobody puts tha much time in with no reward.

[@jefwhitehead4301]

This is great… Thank you

[@isonation.]

You lost me at taking El Estep’s short quote out of context. He predicted Eloy joining Slipknot months before, is friends with Eloy, and called Eloy “the best metal drummer in the world.”

[@HakujooX]

Oddly, given how modern drummers are kinda... Well, less than likable people, that is AWESOME!

[@Ratovx]

Eloy spent more than 10 years playing for Sepultura just to be called a ''youtuber drummer'' LUL

[@andremartinesvoz]

Bro he said like 1 minutes later about how he was a childhood prodigy and played a entire tour with a broken leg. Calm down

[@drope-14]

Esses gringos smp subestimam o que não é ou o que não vem deles.

[@iurigrang]

@@rekzorsa childhood prodigy and a very talented drummer can both be youtuber drummers. The reason why eloy is not a youtuber drummer is not because he’s “too good for that”, it’s because he was already a very well recognized band drummer playing in one of his countries largest metal bands ever. Mateus Asato would be an example of a “instagram/youtube” guitarrist, and I wouldn’t put his skills behind eloy’s one bit. It’s just that he’s mostly known from youtube/instagram fame, not from his session work, and, as far as I know, he has never been in a band (or, if he has, the fact that I, as a fan, don’t even know, shows how much of a youtube/instagram guitarist he is).

[@iurigrang]

I would even go as far as to say most people who subscribed to his channel before slipknot met his channel through his band work not the other way around. it would be like saying Tosin Abasi is a youtuber guitarrist just because he has a large channel.

[@jared_grey]

His athleticism is through the roof. I think that's underrated in evaluating his playing.

[@guilhermecaran3363]

This is a part that is sometimes not taken into consideration but is essential in an extreme music environment like Slipknot. Eloy had a great teacher in this area, Aquiles Priester (another world-class drummer but with a more traditional heavy-power metal approach). Both have absurd technical-athletic development. They see their performances as extreme marathons and give their all day after day behind the drums. As for the performance of both, they are like athletes performing at a high level, sweat, blood and a little itotonic to help.

[@clarenceoveur9497]

Bro made an infomercial for Eloy lmao Great video, just one quick note, Eloy is not an "youtuber that made big" he had a solid career way before joining Sepultura. World class musician, could be playing with Tribal Tech right now. And one of the humblest guys around. Slipknot struck gold, can't wait for new original material. You can tell how committed the rest of the band is. \m/

Once I hesrd him play with Slipknot the first thing I noticed is that he respects what Joey played on the record and enhances them in the live set. Mad respect!

[@flowerlandofjohn]

What makes Eloy such a great “metal-drummer” is that he’s not only a “metal-drummer”. To me he has always been a hard-hitting fusion drummer. And all his flow and musical creativity I see as a result of that ✌🏻🤩

[@SavedbyGraceAlone84]

I was hearing that fusion too. I'm not a drummer. I play other instruments but can play basic beats. Listening to him I could hear something that I've heard before. As a kid I was in a band with another kid that didn't even like metal. He'd play mostly jazz and jazz fusion. When he'd play with us he was so good and you could hear that jazz fusion in his playing. As soon I heard Eloy I was like, "whoa, I've heard something like this before".

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@SavedbyGraceAlone84 Yes exactly like that. I feel the same, and I am a drummer. Fusion drumming (usually) has an organic element that makes it so intertwined with the music. I love it, and I have always liked Eloy’s playing because of that 🙏🏻🤩

[@dani_i8942]

​@@SydneyDrumsLars is a terrible drummer. He's more of a businessman and a mascot for Metallica as opposed to a drummer.

[@BaerndXP]

@@dani_i8942 Yes and no. Kicking other musician's butts like Lars did in the past makes you a bad drummer. Not practicing and getting worse instead of improving makes you a bad drummer. Being satisfied with your skill instead of being hungry to improve makes you a bad drummer as well. I can understand all that. On the other hand he has "evolutionized" metal drumming in the (far) past, he has a certain feeling for his music and he makes his drums "sing" (mostly by weird hard-hitting). He is special and people, I mean other people than you and me, like him and his style. So.. in the end, if you ask what the "use" of a drummer is, from the lowest level on, he seems to do a really, really, really good job, as much as I hate to admit it.

Nice to spend your life perfecting the art/craft you love most just to have it categorized as "secrets". This is what a lifetime of dedication and practice looks like. Swiveling your feet doesn't necessarily equal power and speed. It takes a LOT of practice and even then, you have to master the art of power/precision otherwise it's useless. Eloy is a monster and he deserves all the praise and success because he worked HARD for it, not because he has "insider secrets".

A lot of people in the drumming community don't know who Eloy is. Let me educate you. He was a pro level drummer at a young teenager and has toured the world over dozens of times before he was 20. He's an absolute beast and I've had the pleasure to watch him play side stage and the dude goes through sticks like a smoker chain smokes. The hardest hitting and most solid metal drummer I've ever watched. It's absolutely insane how much power he has at such high speeds. Also his folks are stoopdily crazy.

"i like drums" this set is for my son (he is starting a metal band with his friends but they desparatley need a drumset and dont really have the money for one if they/we/i could get it /i/they/we would be SO gratefull) anyway he loves your videos, thank you so much!!!

[@adinakopinsky]

btw he and his friend are both drummers (he built his current/only set himself (diy))

I remember when I was learning double bass almost every drummer would say to heel-toe but the swivel always felt more intuitive to me but Eloy's precision and timing changes are beyond comprehension to me; his feet are more accurate than a computer drummer 😂

As a self taught drummer the hardest techniques were Jazz and Metal drumming. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Repetition is everything.

I like drums! I'm a 64 year old 'returner drummer's started a year or two ago and I only own a practice pad today. My dream is to own a real kit again one day. Thx, Mickey.

[@paulvandegeijn3891]

Also: perfect ghost notes! He is the grooviest metal drummer ever. Even his blast beats are like funk

[@oneanddone7992]

First saw him some years ago on the youtube vid when he was like 13 yrs old. He played one of the most amazing solos on the youtubes.

This is really great advice for any musician in this video. Very well done.

[@jessehatmaker9085]

I love your video. It breaks it down for me to understand how to be a better drummer

[@empodio]

There are a lot of drummers that use the swivel technique, honorable mention and one of my favorites is Kerim "Krimh" Lechner. You should also check him.

on the metronome debate.. when I was still in a metal band some years ago we did an experiment where we played some shows with a metronome and some without... as a band, we unanimously decided it was better to play live without the metronome. It gave each song a much more dynamic experience and it showed in our crowd reaction. it was tough at first, but after a while you learn to 'feel' how the crowd is reacting and how fast/slow you should play each section of the song. It made each gig unique and it really helped me grow as a drummer. Getting to know how to react to the audience was a big part of our success at the time.

The second one was made famous by Tommy Aldridge. I went to one of his drum clinics and the dude was magic

[@kushking420]

I hit hard like Bonzo, I don't dent my heads or break cymbals, but my snare wires tend to break quite fast, I don't have them set tight either cause I know they'll break faster, and my snare drums ring too much when the wires are tight

[@TXBoH]

Correct me if I am wrong, but thank you George Kollias of Nile for revolutionizing the swivel technique. I bet him and Casagrande get along great they've both been in the game for quite some time!

Kollias fakes it with triggers.
