You Don't Know ELOY CASAGRANDE Until You Have Seen This...

This is why I say Slipknot are the lucky ones for acquiring Eloy Casagrande! Let me know your thoughts on his performance below!

[@alxluthor]

Yes, most accurate comment. Slipknot are lucky to have HIM. It's more like "Eloy and the Slipknots"...

[@jeremyclark5259]

Eloy needed the spotlight though

[@jeremyclark5259]

He wasn't as noticed in sepultura

[@Basco1000]

Dude you should see him playing at 14 yrs old and won the Modern Drummer of the year as one of the best over grown men in the world. Well if you want another few greats check out Mario Duplantier, Steve Langston, Sebastian Lander, David Diepold, George Kolias, and could think of one of the newer drummer that might be sprinting to the very best of all Check out Pestilence of Horror Drummer. Str8clown

[@Basco1000]

Sebastian Lanser not Lander, sorry. My favorite ever and the most difficult drummer in my eyes n ( ears). Gojira, Mario. Langston is just ridiculous.Lanser for Obscura, Obsidious is so tasteful but Deapold n Kolias have the speed of sound and difficulty Mastered. Hell I could go on n on n then probably some more. There are some drummers that just take the passed down torch to just light their dynamite 🧨🧨 sticks.

[@clarenceoveur9497]

One of the greatest drummers period. Eloy is a world class musician, I put him on the same level as Donati, Lang, Weckl, Colaiuta. He could be easily playing with Tribal Tech right now.

[@Jonsmiley33]

Man that is a pretty solid summary of his incredible ability.

[@Jonsmiley33]

And he’s humble af to boot

[@luipars]

I'm a brazilian drummer. Before getting into the drumkit, I've played on a Samba School, a type of drum line that plays a characteristically specific type of samba, with sizes ranging between 15-200 percussionists. My main instrument was the Repique, which is the metallic sounding tom Eloy has on a stand to the far left of his kit. Having said that, this video was the single most impressive drumming performance I've ever seen. He's sounding like a whole samba school by himself, while also adding in tweaks characteristic to the traditional drumkit like his masterful cymbalwork. Every rudiment on the book has been used here, in every combination possible, with every dynamics configuration. I've detected so many grooves and fills from samba, and some from other genres too. This is incredible. Slipknot is lucky to have this man drumming for them. I can't wait to see what he comes up with in their new album, because with the current Slipknot's discography, Eloy's skills are going to be totally underexplored.

[@jeremyclark5259]

He's paying his respect to Brazil also

[@CHRISTIANS1977]

[@drope-14]

he simply played all the percussion rhythms of Brazilian music. Eu te amo cada dia que passa, Eloy!

[@Chapitours]

yeah, simply 🤣

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Damn, he sounds like a legit Brazilian drumline during a parade. Mind blown !

[@GuiSchwertner]

The most prolific, eloquent, full solo. Peak-so-many-things. Eloy the one and only

[@mendronesg]

That genre/rythym he's playing around the 2-min mark through 4+ min, is Samba, and it's usually played by AT LEAST 3 people. In Samba/Pagode the musicians use "parts of the kit" separately, as their own individual instrument (Toms, Floor Tom (Surdo), and a "Pandeiro"). Of course they're not actually drum parts, I was just trying to paint a picture. XD

[@luismonteiro1388]

I'm a simple person who lives in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean Azores and I say it was the best decision you Slipknot made. you will do beautiful things as you always have. Eloy = MMA Drummer, in a good way Congratulations to all of us, nothing more - thanks

[@williamcharles7340]

Eloy has such good fundamentals that when he goes heavy, it never gets sloppy.

[@Waylon_Gnash]

heavy is his cruise speed though. imagine how many heads and sticks this guy eats through in a night on tour. without any doubt, he hates that drum kit. it's his least favorite drum kit of all time.

[@christucker3515]

My three favorite drummers of all time generationally in my heart is John Bonham , Neil Peart , Eloy Casagrande ! They have a gift so rare when we who love playing and listening to all drum music are blown away by such brilliance it becomes apparent we’re listening to perfection

Damn! I probably would have never seen this if I’d not stopped in!! I appreciate haw you let it roll and let the playing speak for itself. Utterly ridiculous over the top playing by Eloy! Can you imagine if Slipknot lets this dude do what he does?!?! I expect a drum only instrumental track on the next album that could totally start every show! The beast of all beasts!

[@andrebatalha3384]

Tem muito batera de metal renomado que nunca nem chegaram aos pés da técnica e dedicação do Eloy. Mas a maioria não está preparada pra essa conversa.

[@pyrox2518]

I was expecting a metal solo. But those are straight up Brazilian samba rhythm. Truly one of the best drum solos I've seen in a long time.

[@brunomartinello1114]

Not only samba.. he played another styles aswell, like Maracatu (wich is the only one i'm able to remenber the name). He played different variants of samba, Maracatu and some other styles i dont remember how it's called.

[@Rodiz182]

glad you follow the right suggestion! ;)

[@TheGhostNotePodcast]

🤘🤘

[@philipperibeiro320]

Eloy Casagrande is untipical human man, let me tell you. I'm from northeast of Brazil, house of typical and historic rythms like "Baião" and "Axé" both cleary present on this line. Eloy is a drumming genius. I'm so happy to see how far he's come! Salve Salvador, salve Bahia, terra do Olodum e do Samba Reggae!

I've sat next to Eloy playing live. He hits his snare so hard you can literally watch his hand almost let go of the stick when fully extended up and when he hits anrimshot the stick chips everytime visable pieces. He breaks on average 5-10 sticks a show. And snare head is dented dead center. He also can play light as a feather. Dude was pro when he was like 14. He's an absolute monster. All the power he has in his feet is scary crazy. Most metal guys use triggers etc and Eloy at fast tempos doesn't loose any power. I've seen him bend his beater shafts. lol. Yea it is insane

WTF did I just witness??Eloy is just a freak of nature!! He is absolutely incredible. The God of drummers!

[@whoisjuliano]

THIS IS SAMBA! For all of you that doesn't know samba, i reccomend you to search two kinds of it, and you should write on youtube: "Ensaio de bateria escola de samba" and "Roda de samba". The first is the music of carnaval apresentations that those large groups of percussion train every year to play every february, the month of Carnaval. The second, is the most traditional cultural act in brasil, that are played by families and friends in the weekend after a good brazilian barbecue, actually the real original one, Churrasco, with the cheaper beer of the market and the smile coming from ear to ear. Yes, Eloy can play this alone.

I’m so so happy the world is seeing eloy and what he can do, I’ve been following him for a few years. My dad who’s a drummer introduced me to eloy and I’ve followed his journey. The work he did on the Quadra album with sepultura is unbelievable. The fact he can play any style is why he is the greatest drummer of all time, nobody comes close to him. This Brazilian instrumentation is just obscene. Then when you see him play metal it’s MURDEROUS. The Mike Tyson of metal drumming, seen him live and it’s beyond belief. The greatest ever. Slipknot joined eloy, he didn’t join them. They should feel very lucky to have him. All hail eloy casagrande 🤟🏻 oh and, watch him play isolation, that’s his masterpiece with Sepultura.

[@junioroliveira6396]

In this video Eloy basically plays two Brazilian rhythms, the first is samba which is famous all over the world and in the second part of the video he plays a very popular rhythm in the northeast of Brazil called "Baião". The impressive thing is that he managed to put his identity into these two rhythms, you can understand that he plays "Samba" and "Baião", but you can hear it and say "this is unique". Below I will leave videos of what these rhythms are originally played for knowledge and study. Baião: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYSYg2R6lraBrKM Samba: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XToH2bqtyeqLs The impressive thing is that he managed to sound like a "Escola de Samba" on his own: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2PGeoBnZqtpeZY

He's playing a lot of Brazilian rhythms especially samba at the beginning then he plays a variety of other Brazilian stuff such as maracatu, baião etc and he mixes a lot of stuff with his own creativity. Brazilian rhythms are extremely musical and complex, I am not surprised it's mind-blown. Eloy is a joy from Brazil.

[@FelipeMataa]

react to him in his video on Drumeo "Applying Brazilian Rhythms To Metal", in this video he has him playing "Resolution" from his other project "Casagrande & Hanysz".

[@gianplp]

For those who are not familiar with brazilian music, he is mixing "escola de samba", "maracatu" and metal. "escola de samba" and "maracatu" are full groups of musicians (at least 10 or 20) of totally diferent styles from difrent regions of Brazil. And he does it alone! If you check this out i guess you would probably realize that "a beast" is almost an understatement for the guy. This is a full display of cultural background, power, speed, precision, groove, atheticism and creativity.

[@vitindublack7891]

[@jaygilbert4546]

This proves that Eloy UNBELIEVABLY OVERQUALIFIED for the Slipknot gig. I don't think most metal fans really understand where he's from: BRAZIL. Brazilian traditional percussionists are BAR NONE the finest & most technically gifted musicians to EVER pound a rhythm out on a drum head, FULL STOP. It is possibly the deepest & most diverse drumming tradition on Earth; there is probably a young baterista (drummer) living in abject poverty in the favelas (shantytowns/slums) in the hills above Rio de Janeiro RIGHT NOW who can 100% wipe the floor with Eloy- WIPE. THE. FLOOR. WITH. HIM!!! it's actually scary just how deep rhythm flows though that country's culture; some folks may be rich, some may be poor, some successful, some utter failures. But EVERYBODY there has RHYTHM!

[@Waylon_Gnash]

well said. he is incredible though. i think less because of technicality and more because of how unique his style is. he can play drum parts i've heard hundreds of times and when i'm looking at him, i can't tell what he's doing exactly. he's super unorthodox regarding his stance, the way he hunches over a little when he's playing very heavily. his drums are all the fuck out of order compared to another drummer, but i can't tell by looking if he's left-handed or not. i don't think he is. that configuration doesn't make any sense. the floor tom to the left of your snare which is also on your left, one tomtom to the left of your hi-hat? lol. i've seen some goofy drum configurations, but that's the weirdest one. reminds me of the way i rearranged my keybinds for playing video games when my right hand became paralyzed and i had to relocate certain controls around wherever i could fit them in.
