A true honor brother! We all have a massive respect for your work!!!

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! if you want to support my work, just comment whatever you what as much as you can! It's the easiest way to boost the algorithm! THANKS!

1:43 “This is definitely not a 4/4. Or maybe it is. I got no fugging idea” Respect.

Takes some big balls to take on a monster like Mario Duplantier in this fashion. Respect Estepario!

It's crazy how Duplantier's stuff can be broken down to fundamentally simple paradiddles and polyrhythms. But then he mixes layers upon layers of it, plays it fast and steady like a freight train, and hits like a thousand sledgehammers.

I used to be his drumtech and he would just amaze me all the time, and like you said he never looks tired!! He also tunes his toms super low which he said would help him play faster (he liked the feel of them)

You've managed to transport me back to the times our math teacher was so passionate about teaching us integrals that we left the class feeling dumber seeing how someone could comprehend those crazy numbers, yet excited by his infectious joy.

Duplantier is an absolute powerhouse on drums...on the other hand you are a a powerhouse as well. And I'm sitting here and drumming on my belly like a beast. Best I can do :D

This is why the drummer from this band is a freaking monster

This is one of the best drum analysis videos I saw so far. Just by watching and listening you break it down. Your dedication, analysis and hard working is absolutely amazing. I hope to see you live with a band one day! 🤘🎶🖖

Bro I love you for this! I’m playing these solos for my junior recital for college and you REALLY helped me with these tricky sections! Love you man! Thanks a lot! ❤️🙏

This is what makes a good musician: if you know you are in absolute top-league giving such big mass of respect for others. ❤

this is a dream come true--two of my favorite drummers. loving the format breaking down the solo. cheers to the best! thanks as always for primo content.

I love seeing your thought process behind learning something so complicated. Like you, I never learned formally on a drum kit. I used my ears. It's very encouraging to see that everything is achievable with enough practice and time.

As 54 years old guitarist learning the drums it's inspiring to see an accomplished drummer, that uses his ear rather than theory to learn. There is hope for me yet not much, but it's better than zero love your channel bro.

This was so much fun to watch, and your humble narration is one of the reasons we love you. Thanks for picking Mario for this one! Huge fan of you and Gojira!

That part at 7:34 just killed me 🤣. Amazing video as usual. 🤘

This is a great video. Feels like I am finally just hanging out with my favorite drummer...talking about another favorite drummer. Hope to see more like this. Cheers buddy

What makes your play style so charismatic and entertaining to watch is your ability to improvise around your basic kit while taking on Goliath arrangements with all the humorous ad-libs of a stand up comedian. 😂🤗 Thanks for being you Sir and keep up the Groove... farther. 😎💪👍 *Yes, I meant exactly how I said it.* 😉

Great video, I love how you truly show how difficult the techniques and grooves are within this solo without just reviewing it so casually like so many other people would. Your facial expressions and reactions don't lie. Good stuff!

Danny Carey, Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, Keith Moon, Niel Peart, Jay Weinberg, Clay Aeschliman. Any solo breakdown from some of my favourite drummers.

I LOVE this content! Helping to break down a complex and amazing drum solo into more digestible bite size pieces, and looking into the thought process along the way. SO MUCH insight in just one video!! Muchas gracias mi amigo :)

What makes you great is the wonderful attitude. Oh yeah, the drumming is unmatched too. 🤘🏼😆🤘🏼

Hell yeah dude! I love this type of video- showing the process of learning a song and trying to figure it out without being some music school and using fancy terms that a lot of people don’t know. Thank you! Hope to see more like this.

Amigo, ya eres una leyenda solo por tratar de explicar y tocar el solo de Mario. Siempre sorprendiendo!. Saludos

I'm cracking up here. I love this so much. Two of the greatest Drummers in my opinion. Alot of fun to watch side by side. And the analysis is hilarious. You rule Bro. And Mario.... Just UNBELIEVABLE. Been a fan since I first heard you.

The way you break this solo down into parts that are easier to understand the basic idea of how it works is amazing! You and Mario both have inspired me to learn to play the drums, there will be a long road ahead for learning and I will look back to this video for renewed sense of purpose. Much love

What a great sense of true humbleness. Love and respect your work!

This is absolutely hilarious. Besides Estepario's genius he is also one hell of a funny guy!

I've done vocals for over 20 years death metal, heavy metal, hip hop, I know it's funny when I say I don't have rhythm being I'm a singer yet my Cadence is odd, that being said I never really cared much for drums, yet I do love and respect drummers, and some of the times I build my words off of the drums . Yet I've recently came across you, and just something about you , i.e. your personality and your amazing understanding of drums have really drawn me in to your world. I'm like fending out on your videos. Any vocalist to be lucky enough to do a song with you is truly lucky. I'd love to chat sometime with you and just vibe through our energy and love of music and life. Keep it up homie, you're the beez knees.

Your honesty is truly refreshing. And to see all these AMAZING drummers like Mario or Portnoy actually comment on your videos is mind blowing 🤯 Thank you so much for your excellent content 🙏🏼 I've started showing it to my son as well

You are so awesome yet so humble, an absolutely cool human being. Mario is a beast of a drummer and I find it amazing that you will still take time to show us how some of the work is done.

it's really cool how you're able to naturally feel the intro (13/16 tom grooves with quarter note kicks under it, and then 13/16 left hand toms with 8th note overriding between floor tom and cowbell!) without knowing exactly what time it is in, I'm curious how you approach learning some of the prog covers you've done where the timing changes constantly if you prefer to not worry about specific time signatures as you learn complex music. Do you break things down into these linear tiny groups of notes (like you did here with the 1 2 1-2 1 2 3 punches) and just not worry about the overall time signature since counting the pulse allows for playing by feel? I've noticed in some covers you vocalize the music you're playing along to when you get really into it, does that also help you initially learn complex music quickly? Knowing that he's overriding 8ths between cowbell and floor (that's what Gavin Harrison calls it, idk if there's a correct term) in 13/16, that means that insane snare/kick patterning going on at 16:15 is hard to figure out because it alternates from starting on a cowbell, then a 16th between cow and floor, then on a floor, then between a floor and cow, repeat if I'm understanding it correctly (also never heard this before). I love seeing your approach to stuff in these videos, really interesting stuff!

You are my favorite drummer of all time at this point. These videos and your personality are genius and amazing. I check in every day for a new one, and I’m captivated by your dedication, your increasing skill, and your passion for the craft. I am also a big fan of Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band. Would be very curious to see you react to him. He’s not metal, but I think you could break down his style for those of us that are learning more from you than any lessons we’ve ever had. Bless you sir!!!! Gonna hit the merch, I’ve wanted the groovefather sweatshirt so bad! Keep it up!!!!!!

You are awesome dude thanks for spending so much time practicing

You are, by far, one of the most talented and captivating musicians!

Its about time we get reaction content with actual breakdowns where the viewers can learn and apply what we see. Thank you, looking forward to the next one!

Truly a pleasure to watch and listen to you process and play. And with humor and humility. Thanks man!

What a joy to watch and the fact you give each other mutual respect is amazing for all us drummers out there, big love to all you woodchoppers x

It was a great video to watch as a bassist, this guy is such an inspiration

I'm not even a Drummer but I could watch your videos All Day Lol. You are an Extreme talented dude & still remain Humble & good hearted even giving credit to others which is totally respectable. You are correct a person can be the most talented but if they are arrogant about it or have a crappy attitude that's what turns people off.. Great job 👏

I absolutely love your level of humility. You freely give respect to other players. Bravo. You’re awesome.

Watching these videos with the subtitles is definitely aiding in my Spanish learning. Love it. Quality content as always, my dude!

Mario Duplantier, best of the best, "Buenos Aires/Luna Park 28.8" IT WAS THE SHEEEEET , we love him. Idolooooo Estepariooooooo, segui rompiendo todo amigo, todo el aguante desde Argentina(Bulgaria).

Mario Duplantier une fois encore, c'est toi le boss. Merci de nous avoir offert tant de pièces maîtresses, de chef d'œuvre de batterie et merci à El Estepario Siberiano d'avoir joué avec cette incroyable matière.

8:37 I will always watch all of your f&@king videos my friend 😂🤣. I love the way you break it all down. Keep doing what you do. You have the best content.

It's amazing to watch you work, you're truly gifted

Man! Your positivity and energy just made this complex piece of Mario’s quantum mechanics based drumming skills simple and understandable. Keep up keeping up!

I love that you're putting more of yourself being you in the videos!

This was such a great video man, thanks for being so honest and vulnerable with your audience, love your work 🤙

Watching your videos has helped me in my own technique and I've definitely been seeing a difference in my performance. Thanks for always giving such quality content, keep it up!

Monstrueux solo plein de musicalité, puissance et technique, d accord avec toi El Estepario. Bravo pour ton travail

I think he is able to play such complex parts as Tooth and Claw, and other tough songs because he doesn't freak. He works the maze backward by starting at the least common denominator and working out. Now, that said, I would love to see how he attacks Jarzombek's stuffs. Mad Data race, the Bambi song, Mosquito Brain Surgery, etc. These are hard because there are no patterns, it is bar by bar, chaos.

Only seen this now, what an extremely wholesome video. You are so direct and honest in how you speak, love it.

Man I just stumbled upon your channel last week and had big fun. I had drums before but quit it. I like your vibe, nothing taking it tooo serious. Keep up the good work!

I LOVED this video, Duplantier is a beast and you are very close, dude. I would love if you had a video about one of Trivium's Alex Bent drum playthroughs

This video made my day. Every time i watch you playing i say holy shit. Your the most real genuine dude I’ve ever seen on any KZfaq video. You have be really good to even have the balls to make this content. I would love to see you two guys have a drum battle. Make it happened. I would pay money to see that shit.

Awesome job brother! Literally watch them play this yesterday live at the Good things festival here in Brisbane Australia!

"Ok, we can do that. I think those are singles, right?" Siberiano, El Estepario 2022

Creo que este tipo de vídeos son muy iniciadores y interesantes, deconstrucciónes de otros baterías hechas por un bateria y analizando lo que hace ,la hostia

Excellent job on the breakdown and explanation of the solo which by the way was top knoch. I enjoy your work and appreciate what u do keep it up homie!🤙🏼

Gracias por todo el trabajo que implican estos videos, se disfrutan demasiado!!

I love how you still remain humble. You are for sure on the top but you still keep yourself calm and recognizing others for their greatness. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A big respect to El Estepario Siberiano as a professional drummer, he is also kind n very down to earth ❤❤❤

Your content is top tier. I've been playing since I was ten and you and one other are my go to's for when I'm getting a drum content fix. Rock on

Maaan I just love everyting about your videos.. The way you present, choice of words, edit, your persona. Its great! Stay awesome.

Eres una bestia!!!!! Pero tus subtítulos en español son tan épicos como tu habilidad musical!!!! Genial!!!!

Into the storm es uno de los drum cover que falta en tu repertorio mirmano!!!

Ufff... what a solo and how difficult is to try to split it to explain it... wow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 To both of you

Great reaction video. I knew this solo was complex, but I did not get the depth of complexity until you broke it down section by section, and hadn't thought about the stamina required to perform from beginning to end. Respect to both of you!

Really appreciate his teaching style "Wow that's really fucked up and too hard to learn, maybe let's try together and see what happens." then proceeds to dissect the solo into bite size pieces. Bravo Sir

Mario is a drum god, right now it is him and Danny Carey! One thing that separates Mario from the pack is that he is very unpredictable and as a drummer you can only appreciate his thought process on each song. Very challenging to emulate. I am happy i got to live in a time where we have had some great drummers!!

I was hoping for some content including Mario Duplantier - awesome video, thank you!

One of the best videos I've ever seen like this - can't even tell you how how amazing you are. Cheers!

My man El Estepario Siberiano, please cover the art of dying! Or if you have the energy cover in the forest Anyways I’m pumped for this

Would love to see you dig into poly rhythms in the future.

Just phenomenal ! I like you work and this is awesome trying to play Mario’s drum solo. Well done dude.

You both have so much talent its amazing to watch

Creo que no hay duda que uno de los bateros que deberías analizar es Tomas Haake. Sería muy interesante saber tu opinión sobre su forma de tocar.

Aprecio muchísimo como el Estepario, siendo un baterista BRUTAL, muestra con humildad como otros bateristas pueden tocar cosas muy dificiles para él. Esto me motiva mucho a seguir, ya que siempre habrá alguien mejor, y en todo aspecto de la vida, lo cual nunca te debe desmotivar, sino que sólo debe motivarte a seguir mejornado. Gracias Estepario.

Very cool! I really enjoyed watching your take on Mario’s solo! Thank you

I will never stop loving the feel of that groove. I love polymeters, because you can choose to feel them in so many different ways. Closed. Open. On. Off.

I would love to see your reaction to Evgeny Novikov

You are truly one of the best drummers ever and I love your humbleness and that you are an encouragement to all!! 😎

Absolutely Amazing. Love your videos As a drummer you just unlocked some very nice work

Congrats on everything man. You're just an incredible player offering us great content consistently. 👏

Me gustaría que trates algo de Bobby Jarzombek de la época de Spastic Ink o Vinnie Colaiuta

"Im gonna break this down for you" *a few moments later* "Ok now we are fucked!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A humble master. Means a real master. I have no idea about drums (played guitar) but I watched the whole clip. So refreshing. Thank you, Sir!

Man your video editing is on fire!

You guys both blow me away. Fabulous stuff

You're insane. Love your dedication and craft.... skills!

Mario Duplantier is my favorite. He is the G.O.A.T. BUT ALSO, how amazing and genuine of him to comment on your stuff.. This made my day and gave me hope again lol

Enhorabuena por tu trabajo Estepario, la didáctica de tus videos es magnífica!!!. Sigue así, consigues que muchas personas se enganchen a la batería y les motivas en lo fundamental: para ejercitarse a diario... Un fraternal abrazo

Respect!!!! Thank you for your commentary on Mario who I am a new fan of bc of YOU!

Love this format - keep doing these videos!

This was so fun and helpful, Steve! Sick AF.

So much dedication here. Great video!

Enough practice material for the whole year! You're both amazing (:

Ok now I’m watching hours of your insane videos and watching other drummers react to your unbelievable skills. 🤯 🥁
