I'm not even a drummer (I play bass) and I'm watching this. Whenever Estepario's shorts come up while scrolling, I always watch them. Love his one hand series!

El Estepario is a once in a generation drummer, and what’s so awesome is how much love and respect he has for other greats.

Love how humble both of you are. Giving credit to greatness while being amazing yourself.

El Estepario just sees and hears the patterns. His ability to follow the progression of the patterns is so much longer. A pure savant. He just...sees and hears it different than we do.

These two guys are on a different level! I played for a long time but geez these guys MONSTERS! Nothing but respect!

Estepario is so out of this world that can be enjoying repeating what genius creators like Mario does.

This guy's talent and dedication is just sick!!! Love watching him!

The fact he takes time to explain every part of it is what makes me like him more and more not to mention he's not afraid to give credit to other drummers.

Love this content, dissecting a near impossible to play solo ( without the ability to read or write music ) is impressive enough, but to then play a near perfect reproduction on a greatly reduced kit is both a testament to his abilities as drummer and a musician. A force to be reckoned with, and a totally out of this world drummer. Great react!

I love how he is taking the challenge of other amazing drummers and WITHOUT trying to out do them, sends his respect and just breaks it down being as amazing as he is as a player just as they are and deserve that respect

I love watching him break everything down to its basic, to make it easy for anyone.

This is awesome! I Love the fact that there is a group of GREAT musicians coming up who are willing to "share" the struggle of learning how to interpret other musicians solos. Ive been a gigging musician since 16 years old. I started on the drums with gospel music like most out there. Then 25 years later we lost our bass player and I needed to learn the bass. Now 18 years later still playing both. But the mentality of ALL the "good" musicians in most genres were all secretive with their technique. I remember asking really good bass players after a gig what was that run you did in the second chorus of the 4th song in the set when you started with a pentatonic run and ended on the 4 (hypothetical situation here) ..... and the answer you'd get is ... "oh I just felt that I have no idea what I did"... leaving all young musicians thinking that there was some magic place you needed to visit in order to play like a beast!!! It is so refreshing to see really outstanding musicians like yourself Colby Fulton and El Estepario show the younger generation that that magic place you need to go to is ...wait for it...... "PRACTICE TOWN". and you need to make your reservation in "Practice Town" a long term stay... Maybe rent a Villa in "Practice Town" and live there for some time, get to know the natives, or .... better yet, buy some land in "Practice Town" and build a small tee-pee there and learn the landscape a bit, eventually your little tee-pee will get upgraded to an apartment and then maybe you will become a naturalized citizen of "Practice Town". Mentorship , like you both are doing to this young generation was the missing piece in the 70's through the 2000's. Now people are seeing that the way to continued improvement is mentorship! Good Job to both of you

Mario is my favourite drummer and i'm a huge Gojira fan, saw them live for the 5th time this year. If i had to recommend one song by them it would probably between The Gift of Guilt and Backbone. They are a fantastic band

Drummers unite. Love seeing fellows drummers fining props. It's difficult to be on this level and it's okay to say wow you are awesome, I hope to be that good with the sticks someday.

My god. I'm so blown away. I've been playing drums for years. I love seeing you guys playing. I'm to old now to even comprehend what's going on. Bless you all. Love Mark ❤️

For what it's worth, Mario is a damn genius. Strange time signatures, but everything works so well.

I don't understand how at my age, I'm binge watching these type videos. Thank you younger generations for making my day, lol! You've inspired me. I enjoyed this because I don't understand a thing about drumming. This breakdown helps me know what's going on.

“ This is just a cheap imitation of the original”….. cheap?……. CHEAP??!! Look I get that he’s just a genuinely humble person who just happens to be in my opinion one of the best drummers of all time that I’ve ever heard but I think I speak for all those who have watched this man put on an absolute clinic on the drums. I feel it’s pretty safe to say you are many many many things my friend, but cheap is absolutely positively and definitely NOT one of them so in closing I just want to say please never stop blessing us with your insane talent on the kit… my view is yours, my sub is yours and my like button will forever belong to you!! /Salute!

❤I love how he displays his humility, Everyone bends to his mastery but he knows he is the same as everyone else and is always learning and will always have someone else to look up to no matter how good he gets there is always someone somewhere better. Bravo

ElEstapario, Mario, and Gavin are all such fascinating and entertaining drummers to watch and listen to, each in their own way.

First, you're welcome thank you for the fan respect, second, I agree that the amount of respect he gives is always phenomenal to the artists/drummers. I did enjoy this and watched to the end. He has a video of a breakdown of another great drummer named Chris, while letting his injured finger heal, I recommend checking it out.

Loving this format and breaking down piece by piece each section

I love seeing the passion in your eyes and how humble you are. Rock on!

I love Gojira, one of my top favorite bands. Mario is a great drummer. With that said....El Siberiano Estepario is in another league. This man is an A.I 😀

Estepario is easily my pick for favourite drummer, he’s incredible, especially considering he can’t read or write music…I’ve seen him do the most difficult solos out there like nobody’s business….& he’s way younger than he looks, only 27 or maybe 28 now…his journey is just beginning, imagine where he could be in a decade, any band he wanted most likely!

Thoroughly enjoy this video format. First taste of seeing him human. Great comments and breakdown of the breakdown

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OTHER DRUMMERS IS WHAT MAKES HIM A TRUE BLESSING IN THE DRUMMING WORLD

El is being humble, watch enough vids of his and you know he can do whatever Mario does!

I saw Mario with Gojira, for their second album tour, he was just a year older than me, and I couldn't believe how incredible he was... I cried, and practiced a lot, I even destroyed my knees, for trying to build speed too fast. The legend tells he can improvise metal with his brother, since kids ! El Estepario is a better drummer, but Mario is an artist !

Jorge is such a beast, but at the same time so incredibly humble. And funny too. Positive, motivating. No wonder his channel has exploded. Such an incredible human being.

That’s rediculus how impressive they both are wow ,,, what a monster

you really can't compare El Estepario to anyone. He is Cobham, Weckl, Colliuta, Bohnam, Tony Williams, Mason, PJ Jones, Elvin, Greb, and every good drummer you could ever think of combined and then some.

i said it before and ill say it again.. he is the Stevie Ray Vaughan of drums..humble, outgoing, gives everyone their credit. hopefully people will see his true awesomeness before hes gone

he is so awesome. not just his drumming. he reminds me of my best friend from Argentina.

The humbleness of this guys is what seperate him from sooo many others.

Gojira are awesome. Can't pick a favourite song...but I haven't found one that I don't like. Mario is an amazing drummer! El Estepario is mind blowing, because he seems to be able to reproduce, and often adapt, some of the most technical stuff, on such a basic kit...and when he plays one handed, rolling a smoke and having a drink...just incredible!!!

Both guys are amazing, what a lesson of Mario and a humble Lobo 🐺 but a very, vey good drummer. My respect

He gives these awesome drummers so much credit cause he is so freaking humble and that my friends is why I enjoy watching this monster play cause he is a freaking machine myself but he doesn't hesitate giving credit where credit is due. So hats off to this bull. Hint Hint. Haha thank you again for all that you do. And remember never stop rocking on. 🤘

Shut it with the 'whose better' garbage! These guys are ALL great! Listen to him on the CD with his former band "Saratoga". Amazing stuff, by all of these drummers who can play anywhere NEAR this level. Just the fact this guy can sit down, listen, figure it out & play it is amazing. Great channel, BTW.

I’m ALWAYS floored by the guy who can take things done on a massive kit and express it with less.

I played for 12 years, took 5 years worth of lessons, played over 300 live shows. Yet I know just enough to completely understand and appreciate Mario and Estepario’s abilities. My favorite drummer for almost 40 years was Neil Peart. It wasn’t just his drumming. His compositions were mostly exquisite,

I love how ESS listens. This is extremely important in any musical context, but especially for a drummer who does not read music, it is indispensable. ESS has built an amazing technique set by working his tail off. Remaining humble and respectful of people doing their own thing, present and past, allows him and any other musician or other person to keep learning and growing. Here is where work on listening skills really pays off, because listening to experts doing crazily hard stuff - whatever the field of endeavor (and we can substitute "reading" and "observing" and other terms appropriate for the ways we pay close attention to learn from other people in any given field of art, craft, industry, or science) - relies on our ability to understand and to analyze what we hope to learn. Whether we want to replicate a part for enjoyment or for an exercise or we want to pull a set of sounds out of context to find a way to incorporate some of it into our own new music, all the work we do to learn how to listen - to learn how to learn - makes it possible to do what we need to do. The beauty to me of what ESS does is the way he shares the journey, and shares his enthusiasm for what he is doing. It reflects a respect for the work it takes to do what he hears in his head. That respect and enthusiasm show in his appreciation of other players. On the format, I really enjoy part breakdowns like the one ESS does here. They give insight into how a part I don't know works, but also tell me something about how the person doing the analysis - here ESS - thinks about music and the instrument. As for Mario, bravo - he seems pretty masterful. Somehow, I have minimal familiarity with his band (not really my thing - grunting vocals don't attract my attention). With all the music out there, sometimes things just pass you by without your knowing it happened.

Awesome talent, both of those guys! 🇺🇸👍

I just love listening to him break it down on a smaller kit.

All the contents are great, the Beard is cool, and, of course, disecting and analising is spot on! Keep going man!!!

Game recognizes game. And we all appreciate seeing that as well. Thanks to all of you great people out there for sharing your greatness with all of us. Pretty sure we straight up fkn LOVE you guys for that!

Every time i went to a motörhead consert. And those were quite a few. One of the highlights was to see Mikkey Dee doing his solos. One of the greatest drummers ever in my book. But i feel he is not being talked about as much ss he deserves. (I think he's playing for the scorpions now) Another favorite is Chris Adler of Lamb of God. Hes got an amazing groove to his playing that just hits me like a speeding truck! And of course Vinnie Paul of Pantera, who just like Mikkey Dee, who was kind of hidden behind the dazzling sun that was Lemmy, kind of always got in the shadow of the exceptionally brilliant Dimebag Darell! Well. Those are my top 3 for anyone who would give a shit about my humble opinion! 😅

SIBERIANO is so humble, you can tell he knows the game of learning.

Personally my favorite Gojira song is Oroboras (or how ever isn't spelt) Mario is definitely in my top 5 favorite drummers. Up there with Thomas Haake, Thomas Lang.

Man insane the breathing is the technique to his endurance. Perfect drummers

Very much important to respect and appreciate other musicians. Respect to the humbleness of Siberiano. Wow. That's what makes him so good.

Wow both amazing. I would love my drum set to sound just like Mario’s. Great sound.

I don't know what my favorite Gojira song is but the one that turned me on to them was "Stranded" Been loving your vids keep it up 👍

Any thing he does,phenomenal the real deal and he's so humble also my favorite drummer so far

Love your reactions to top quality drummers. Keep them comi g!😊

I'VE PLAYED DRUMS FOR 20+ YEARS AND COULDN'T BEGIN TO DUPLICATE SOMEONE PLAYING THIS TECHNICALLY DIFFICULT AND FAST! El Estepario DOES IT WITH EASE. MIND FUCK

Mario and El Estepario are both drum beasts.

It's weird back then there wasn't talent like this and now everyone has crazy talent guitar, drums you name it it's like everything is so advanced

I friggin love watching El Estapario he keeps it simple, he could pretty much play with any band that needs a drummer. He may be a cyborg just saying.

He is one of the best polyrythmic drummers in the world. It will be awesome when he figures it out.

I freaking love Gojira! Mario Duplantier is a master at off beats and weird time signatures. Silveria, Shooting Star, and Stranded are my favorites.

I love your reaction videos. Your attention to detail in the difficulty of what you are reacting to is great and humble. Play on my drumming brother.❤

Huge Gojira fan here. Satan is a Lawyer - one of their best songs imo!! But everything they do is amazing. Mario is superb!

I never heard of the band Gojira before, but cool name, and wicked drumming! I'm a subscribed fan of Siberiano. He is a monster machine, and very entertaining. Every drum stroke seems precise, as if it's the only note he's playing that day. It doesn't matter who's best, they are both awe-inspiring rhythm aces.

Love it! I have a lot of "favorite drummers". But being an oldschool guy Buddy Rich and Sammy Davis Jr. are two of my all-time favorites.

You HAVE to get the exclusive with this guy. He is a musical GOD and he's so intriguing to boot. Yes!! PODCAST ❤️

He may not have a musical theory background, writing background or anything like that but he's easily the greatest drummer alive, an argument could be made for ever.

Great reaction, man! If you wanna see Mario's amaziness displayed in songs, you must listen to "the art of dying", "toxic garbage island" and "the cell". Keep it up! 🤘🏽

It’d be something to get a few of these guys in the same studio sharing their work

Love this. I need alot more practice and I been playing 30 years. Never saw A drummer like him.

I don't know how he can listen to it at that speed and break down the pattern that is being done . That takes a very skillful year

Very very impressive. He hears it once and he programmed his brain to copy and repeat like a ROBOT. He is the best or damn close to it!

Mario deserves to be mentioned with all of the great drummers. Don't know a lot about Gojira , but they have an amazing live concert Gojira. live from Red Rocks. ..great audio. Next reaction ....Aric Improta. Blur-Lights in the Videodrome. Aric puts on a 40 minute clinic . He played it in 2017 at the Meini Drum Festival. ..Meini was so blown away the flew Aric to a studio in Nashville and recorded it . 1 take ... It's amazing. Great reaction as always. Thanks

One of the most talented people i ever saw in youtube ! This dude is for real

Mario is one of the best no doubt about it but my personal favorite and inspiration was Neil Peart from Rush, he died 5 years ago but the music and his drumming lives on...

Some people just drip talent. The Russian steppe is indeed one of them His ear and ability to parse individual sticking is incredible. Too add insult, he's incredibly clean and the syncopation seems effortless.

El Estepario Siberiano is a genius. His ability to dissect and replicate are off the charts. Hes truly a beast on the drums.

Great take aways and humbleness on your part Mr Fulton. El Estepario - such a marvel to watch. I am not a drummer - but appreciate music talent when I see it. My personal favorite drummers: phil collins john bonham neil peart. All masters in their own right. Would love to see reaction videos done re: these three very talented musicians.

The scariest thing about Mario Duplantier is how hard he hits. And he does that for a full 60-90 minute set. He’s a fucking alien.

My favorite Gojira song is Stranded ❤️ El Estepario Siberiano is absolutely amazing! I love everything he has done! His passion and dedication to playing is so inspiring! I’m binging all the videos I can find!

Watching him Dissect this... He knows how to figure stuff out! Even if he can't read music, he still knows his stuff!

I'm down with it all. Thanks for the content. I am a baseball coach...not a musician. I appreciate where you come from. Funny to think I could turn around 90+ mph fastballs but could not do 1/16ths if my life depended on it. I can slow it down and hear it in my head but I'll be damned cuz I simply cannot. As a coach, special ed teacher and former athlete...I appreciate greatness. Like the drummers on this feed!

EL ESTEPARIO is the best, hands down. LEGEND !!!!

Good review. Also good observations by Siberiano. That guy is amazing as to how fast he gathered those beats in his head.

Estepario Siberiano,drummer level OMEGA!!!! what a beast!!!

This was amazing. I love them both.

Both of those drummers are so sick, it’s mind boggling! 😮

"Need more cow bell" 😂

Dude Gojira is my favorite band I’ve heard every Gojira song hundreds of times including their 1996 demo albums and all 7 of their large and fantastic albums there’s no bad eggs with gojira I’d have to say my favorite group of songs because I can’t name a single favorite I’d have to say is Rememberance, embrace the world, death of me (all the link album) and maybe also listen to the way of all flesh song and any mars to Sirius song then when your done do some lephant savauge I did not spell that right but yeah….

Just amazing to see how he breaks this down.

That was extreme-bad-ass and unbelievable!!!! Yep, I need to practice! Thanks for sharing!😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

well playing a music and creating the music is two different thing, , it's easy to be impressed by blast beat and speed double kick , Mario doesn't care and has nothing to prove at this point , he just does his stuff

Not a musician at all. But love the content of drummers on drummers and that learning never stops. Dedication.

EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO is my favorite drummer All day (after my uncle who thought me to play RIP Jack Scott)

I would also love to see you two collab and do the breakdowns together. But my spin on this challenge would be you all breaking down Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan doing stuff like Teentaal rhythm work or Karsh Kale's work. I think the rhythm work is almost universally acquirable it comes down to the fingering/sticking and pitching. Thanks for this great start to my day

I love these videos! The look on your face when you see the Estepario's skill is the best. Fun fact: on a recent interview with another spanish youtuber, he said something like "When I listen to music, I transcribe them on paper like "pum pum pim", "pam pam pim pum" which is hilarious xD

This guy is one of the BEST DRUMMERS I'VE SEEN, HE MAKES IT LOOK SOO NATURAL

To just see and hear it and then play it is God mode. Legend.

Very humble drum player. I love it

this has got to be the wierdest format ever? A guy reacting to a guy reacting to another guy. Infinity loop anyone?
