Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! if you want to support my work, just comment whoever you want me to play next! THANKS!

Damn, this is probably one of the most genuine things I’ve seen in a long while! Dude has no ego, no superiority complex whatsoever and he doesn’t care what people think of him and to give such a raw look into his life and character is putting himself in a very vulnerable place!!

Not only is this guy a phenomenal drummer, He’s also hilarious, and a heart the size of Spain.

"One million mother fuckers in here" lol and were here because we appreciate you and your craft.... I don't give two fks about drums, or music but I know you are an awsome dude that I enjoy and can't stop watching...

I have a similar story but with guitar. I can't read music and never had a lesson but was very good at what I do. I stopped playing when my father died in 2012 because I was depressed but after watching this video and all your other videos it's inspired me to pick up where I left off. Thank you for inspiring me. God bless you and don't stop doing what you do.

I dont write comments... AT ALL.. so this is out of pure love and respect as another drummer... DO NOT STOP!! keep going brother, you have inspired me beyond belief and i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for how youve changed my life! you are an inspiration for many people and it will continue to grow

Jesus…. This guy touched my soul. I’m not a musician, can’t keep a beat to save my life. But to hear how a guy can have so much passion and determination and get through several harsh knocks in life and still power through. Dude, I wish you every blessing. Keep up the great work.

WOW!!!!! I have seen some of your shorts skimming through, absolutely amazed! But then I just watched Rick Beato, show case you and gave amazing praise to this video "My Story" and I don't think I have ever been happier to be a subscriber and look forward to supporting through TWO MILLION!!!! Thank you for sharing your inspirational story. Definitely hit a lot of brick walls. Wishing you nothing but success in 2024!!

I just fell in love with this dude. This was so inspiring.

Mate, you're an inspiration. Not just as a drummer, but also as a human.

This 72 yr old lady in Ohio, USA, thinks you are amazing and special! Thank you for not giving up and showing us your wonderful talent.

Great story! We support you as an entertainer, drummer, influencer, and a man of many talents. Your hard work has paid off, keep doing what makes you happy and gives purpose in your life. Happy new year and look forward to more amazing content!

You sound like a fantastic and down to earth guy. Appreciate your skills and honesty

I'm a nearly 50yo manly man and this video brought tears to my eyes. You are a joy to watch perform, and your dedication and passion for what you do makes my soul fly. Thank you, brother 💪😊

In all my years I've never heard someone say they wanted to drum for drums and not music, very inspirational!!

I appreciate your story. Real. Inspiring. Motivational. Internally and externally, you’ve created and grown so much as an individual. Respect!

It’s a privilege to listen to your story. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes to you in life.

I've been playing music since I was 11 years old (Im 28). Due to depression I stopped playing and your videos made me get back into music.I just wanted to say thank you for playing the way you do. It made me realize I had a lot yet to give, it pushed me to be better.

What an articulated and passionate young man. Spain should be proud !

Mucho gracias amigo!!! Rick Beato got me here and it was PERFECT timing for me!!! It's been very difficult to get RE-inspired and start moving forward with my musical goals once again, this video and your message was the perfect kick in the ass to get me back on the track again. Blessings my brother 🙏 you have helped more people than you know, all because you NEVER quit and led the charge by example!!

The level of humble, from one of the best drummers I've ever seen, is mind blowing. Thanks for telling your story man. Best of luck to you from Texas, USA.

This gentleman is not just a great example of a percussionist, but he is a great example of how to be a person. You are an old soul my friend.

As a man that is lost this is actually inspiring thank you

Crazy how i am just discovering you 9 months after you posted this and youre almost at 4 million. You deserve thanks for being real. Thanks for being awesome.

Hermano me has hecho humedecer los ojos por ser tan humildemente fuerte con esa historia y mensaje que salva muchas vidas a punto de irse al otro lado o vivir en esta tierra pero con drogas y sin alma , muertos vivientes. Tu eres un mesías que con un corazón noble dio bombazos a las almas que quieren encontrar una razón para vivir mientras el sistema queda demostrado es una cárcel que quiere esclavizar mientras les damos dinero o nos dinero para tenernos como zombies cuando fuimos creados libre para ser felices y no calificados por una universidad que solo quieren ganar dinero ya sea por dinero privado o público que igual lo paga el que trabaja con lo que el gobierno le quiere quitar sin importar si estas deprimido es más el sistema te deprime mas. Soy guía de turismo en NYC espero tener el privilegio ser atenderte y mostrarte como amigo la ciudad ya que tengo muchos amigos españoles que atiendo. Abrazos desde New Jersey State de un padre ecuatoriano casado con una chica del País de Georgia y ahora tiene un hijo que atender y para hacerlo me inspiras a buscar el ser el mejor guía para mi para mi hijo y para los jefes ,no clientes, para los jefes que me contratan. Abrazos empíricamente musicales , tu, tu único maestro

“I don’t believe in talent, hard work can achieve anything” well said and well deserved !!!👏🏻

Shit, as a drummer who has also been struggling for purpose lately, I'm pretty sure you just changed my life too, so thank YOU!

Bro this really hit a lot of alarm bells with me get back to your studies funded by your drumming you’ve got all the tools for finish what you set out to do.. thank you for these posts I know many drummers you are up in the top 5 of all time. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 straight facts

It’s the must emotional deep honest thank you a such artist like you has ever made to us, fans… One million thanks for your inspirational story 🙏🏻 A soon grandfather from France 🇫🇷

I had a lot of respect for you before as a drummer, and percussion artist. But man, that's a hell of a story, and you tell it in a really honest and inspiring way. My respect for you as a person has increased ten fold. Here's to many more millions of followers, you deserve it!!

Dude, you have no idea what you mean to us.. We are not worthy of hearing your greatness.. You are on a completely different level then the rest of us.. We love you for your craft, we love you for your personality we love you.. Please don't stop doing what you are doing..

You set a bar higher than most methodical musicians . And your focus is inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to divide the wheat from the chaff . Keep the pace moving upward !

Damn! THAT is brave and honest!!!! very inspiring words. 👍

Man I'm 44 years old and I'll be honest your video inspired me greatly. Thank you for your story. I've been watching your videos for probably half a year so far. All the videos i watch , I'm always impressed. I always learn something new. I'm glad you are here and your story is not done yet. I'm sorry that you had that experience in that band. I would hope that YOU could form your own band and do the music YOU want to do. The part about the education system is spot on. Students sit in front of an instructor just to hear them speak about themselves. I felt the same. You speak English very well I'm an American. God bless you always. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR MESSAGE THIS OLD GUY CAN DIG IT 💯

Wow wasn’t expecting such a deep origin story That made me respect him even more

You say you do this for therapy for yourself and the things life has made you feel. I want you to know that your videos are also therapy for many others and i truly hope you continue playing and posting. I really enjoyed your story because i am at the lowest i have ever been and i am in a very dark place in my life and you give me more hope and inspiration than i could ever put into words to make you understand. From my heart and soul THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

I am not a drummer, I know nothing about what the F**K you do. With that said, you are an inspiration to watch. I am captivated with you passion, skill, and drive. Keep the faith know you affect people that know nothing of what you do. If you ever feel like you are worth nothing, know you are something to people like me. Thanks for being you. Live, Love, be humble and kind.

I have been playing the drums all my life it seems. I’m 63 years old and I still play in bands. I’ve always played in bands. Every drummer I know talks about you. Why is this. Because you’re one of the best we have all ever had the pleasure to watch. 8 hours a day pays off. Thank You for your dedication to your craft. A craft millions of people love. Have you ever listen to the band Fog Hat They were huge back in the late 70s I think you could really come up with some cool stuff to their songs.

In 2 days he goes from a 1 million sub special to 1.46 million. Crazy and well deserved!

Big love man! Congrats with the perseverance

Such a brilliant and humble man. Incredible drummer, and tremendous heart

Not only an insanely good drummer, but also a super personality.

I am 61 now. I have watched for a year. I saw your video with Rick Beato and I was hooked. You Sir are legitimately awesome. Keep doing what you!

You sir, are amazing, an inspiration, & most of all the most humble person I've listened to describing his life. You are one of us, and proud of it! Not letting the popularity of your videos, change you as an artist/performer.

I understand why he doesn't want to be in a band, particularly after his horrible experiences, but mark my words, as soon as his energy lowers, which is natural for healthy human beings, he'll be given the chance to play with some amazing band and earn enough to create a little empire. This is a solid dude, a man of principle, and will deserve every good thing coming at him.

I don't play drums, I don't have any musical ability, I don't particularly like the genre you play, but something about your work, your drive and execution keeps me coming back to your videos. You're amazing at what you do and every second you spent practicing shows when you play. Glad you stuck around dude because you make a whole lot of people very happy.🖤

What an inspirational video mate. You’re an amazing drummer, I wish you all of the continued success

I true CREATOR! Alan Watts would be proud & in awe.

Thank you for this. Old soul vibes. Such a fucking inspiration. Hope it's not too late for some of us.

I’m a drummer, and this is very inspiring to me.

Thanks for the kind words of motivation and sharing your story. Good luck and godspeed with all future endeavours

You are loved, and you have a purpose. God bless man. I pray that you have a relationship with Him so no matter how depressed you may feel, you will always have the great comforter. Thank you for sharing!

What a great, honest story, cloaked in humility. You have made such a difference in so many ways, if you only knew. We’ll done.

I used to watch your videos and feel bad about myself, as I knew you couldnt be much older than I am (I am 23). But now, knowing your story, I just want to put every hour I can into practicing. I want to stop using excuses as to why I can't change my situation, and start chasing what I want and not take NO for an answer. Thank you, and please, never stop drumming. You're a f*cking legend!

Fuckin awesome video a true inspiration to people that want to give up ❤

Im glad you didn't give up!!!

Mate, I can’t tell how much you’re honesty and story is inspiring. I’ve been a Musician since I was 13 and always dreamed of relaxing my own album. Now, I’m 40 and finally close to releasing my own album with my music. Keep your head up brother; depression is a bitch, but you can overcome!! You’re playing is incredible and your heart is so much more impressive. Much love my friend. Ian

I have nerve damage in my right arm and lower back, which effects my legs, so after playing for 48 years, I'm relearning how to play the drums...for the second time. Some of the one handed techniques you use have shown me that there are work-arounds that I hadn't even thought of. Thank you for helping me become a better drummer, again. ❤✌️

He speak English really good too I guess he learned while playing the drums. The coolest drummer on earth! Bravo amigo!

Beato brought me here. Thanks. You Matter.

Over many decades, I have listened to hundreds of world-class drummers, from the 20s to present day, across many genres (classical, jazz, rock, fusion, etc.) but I have never heard ANYONE do what you do on a kit. You play in an other-worldly realm. It surely is what you what meant to do.

Im not a drummer or any kind of musician, I can't even whistle, but I've binge watch your videos for the last couple of weeks. Thanks for the excellent content jefe.

I began watching you for your talent but mostly because you look just like my son. I share the videos with him all the time. Love your talent.

Rock on my brother! Rock on! You got this! You're amazing!

This guy is a badass drummer. But also very intelligent. And also inspiring for myself on finding a purpose in my life

I'm 61 years old and started taking drum lessons about 6 months ago. It is very hard but your story gives me inspiration. Thanks for sharing your story. It reminds me that when I feel like I'll never be good, I'm probably not trying hard enough. I need to practice more!

This is a very inspiring video El Estepario.... this video should be viewed by every single person who feels they have no purpose or have given up on life.... it has every tool you need to like yourself again.... Hombre Bravo Cuidate

What an amazing message from a humble guy. Thank you for the inspiration!

As a drummer, I often wondered where 8 hours of daily practice would lead. I never thought getting as far as you would be humanly possible. Thank you for the inspiration.

EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO: ‘AMAZING things happen when you devote yourself to your craft with passion, giving 100% everyday.’ ♥️

Sir you just impressed and inspired the hell out of a 60 year old Texas metal drummer with this video. Never give up! Never stop!

10 months on 3.55million subs.. You’re doing alright.. Keep doing it for yourself..

You are a rare type of person my friend. If you only knew how many people you’ve inspired without even trying… when you put your emotions into your “craft” it does something special. I also know this… I haven’t achieved anything close to your level nor have I been able to put in the amount of effort you have but I can tell you that your story is special one. Good luck my friend and god bless you.

Timeless story. 1. Hit rock bottom 2. Set a goal 3. Stick with it and be patient 4. Success 👏🙌

Thank you, keep crushing it!

Tengo 40 años, y te entiendo perfectamente, que gran mensaje has dejado, me alegras que hayas descubierto todo eso tan joven, una vez que lo descubres, no hay obstáculos en la vida que te detengan. Un abrazo.

It's all making so much more sense to me now.....thank you for sharing your story. Your dedication to drumming has made you so phenomenal that I can't help but watch, admire, enjoy and be completely blown away by! If anyone had asked me if I'd ever be addicted to watching "a drummer on youtube" a year ago I probably would have laughed out loud. That's the amazing thing about you and your performance and capabilities.....you mesmerize the most unlikely viewer because your skill level is SO NEXT LEVEL. Thank you so f---ing much for allowing us in to witness the phenomenon that you have made yourself into

Brother, you have changed my life for sure. Depression sucks, you helped get me out of that by posting your talent. Thank you!

Tremendous respect! You're my role model.

Wow. So inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

This is very inspirational. I am saying this as a 51 year old drummer. This makes me want to be better. Thank you for sharing.

I gotta say, I really did think you were in your mid to late 30's. Not because you look that old but because of the extreme talent you possess. That being said, you are probably the best drummer alive but your personality is why you broke a million subscribers. You are truly a fresh breath of air young dude! Love your work!

I'm 5 months into learning the drums. When I first started I thought everything was impossible. Yet I'd watch everyday people absolutely kill it on a drum set. A couple months in I still doubted myself. Then I started putting more practice time in. I have nobody to compare myself too and that's not the point because I don't care about that but I think I'm doing fairly well and I'm proud of myself. I'm 43 now. I really wish I would've started earlier in life. I'll never get your level (I don't think many people will) but you've definitely inspired me. Thank you

For God's sake PLEASE put together a band with musicians of your choice! If you choose the musicians yourself, you can call the shots and run the band. One world tour and you would be on the level of the biggest most historical band that ever lived. The world needs to experience you!! I'm an old 67 year old guitar player and Land Surveyor. I played professionally for 8 or 10 years and loved it. It was in the 70's and breaking into money was almost impossible so we all had to go our separate ways. I tell you all of this because our old drummer, Rich Bridges, just died a few months ago. He was very good and still playing, he even had a youtube site. We had just got back in touch with each other after 30 years and was going to record some of our original songs but God took him in his sleep. I'm still devastated, he was my absolute best friend from childhood up into the mid 80's. Please make some stellar musicians happy and the world wants to see you.

CONGRATS My Friend! Your 1Million is non-describable in words how much you deserve it! You will ALWAYS have my vote not just for your drumming skills but for the main reason which is YOU ARE REAL! Nowadays in this world there seems to be a dwindling population of REAL PEOPLE. You are Real, no BS, and you seem to me to be a very humble man and happy with your life where it's at. I have been a fan for a little over a year now and I will continue to be until you close the door on your channel. CONGRATS again on your 1 million. Much Love and Respect to you El Estepario Siberiano My hats off to you Sir!

I've been losing my hearing due to an inner ear disease i had been diagnosed with since i was 23 years old the drums i feel I've always connected with because i can feel them. In my heart and soul through out every part of me. It's amazing what you do please keep going with it i love every piece I've seen of yours, i truly feel i can connect with a song again and it's truly a knew light for me

11 months ago was 1 million,now is 3,71. You go Estepario! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Man I just enjoy watching what you’ve dedicated your life to. I’m no musician but all I can say you are amazing!!!

Eres nuestra única esperanza en contra de los robots!! Gracias por lo que haces, gran inspiración! You are a superhuman. 💯👍👏

Dude you are the best drummer I have ever heard. I can’t believe you are not in a major band making millions. You have a lot to be proud of.

It really hit me hard when he said, “I had nothing else to do, I felt like I had wasted my whole life because what I wanted to do suddenly disappeared so I just tried to focus all of that energy into something else.” I can’t imagine how crazy it must have felt at that moment 😓

Truely inspiring. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you for your authenticity! I love watching your drumming. It is amazing how far you can push yourself. Keep the videos coming, we your fans enjoy them! It makes our days better!

The greatest drummer in the world admitting at one point he doubted himself... unreal. Glad you put yourself out there, we all love your art!

Not just your drumming that you've put some hours practice in on to make it as good as possible, your English is spot on too, better than some who have it as a 1st language! Keep filming your amazing skills my friend

Amazing story, thanks for sharing

I needed this today. Thank you.

The ending of this video hits really hard. One of the things you didn't touch on and maybe because it never crossed your mind is you had plenty of chances to give up along the way and it probably would've been easier to do so, but you chose not to. Thank you for pushing through each day and for the daily dose of inspiration.

Man I know exactly how you feel, I’ve been playing music as long as I can remember, since I was just 5 years old I’ve been playing piano and guitar. Later on I picked up drums after joining percussion in school when I was about 13, I was absolutely obsessed with drums at first and it became my passion to get better and better. The main difference to your story is my whole life since I was just a kid I thought the one thing I wanted to do was play music because that was what I loved. Fast forward a little while and I ended up at a college of music for jazz studies in drum set, for so long I had just practiced to get better and better, but I reached a point in college when I realized I didn’t care to get any better, I could play just about anything I wanted to. But that’s also when I realized, I didn’t get anything out of playing music anymore. When I look back I remember a time when playing was so fun and it just made me happy, but I can’t pinpoint the moment I stopped loving it, I just got caught up in the endless hours of practice trying to get better and I lost all of the gratification of playing. I hated playing, started hating myself too because all I knew was music and that was a direct reflection of myself. I stopped going to classes, barely made it to my lessons, and quit practicing. Didn’t take long for me to flunk out. Now I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do with myself. Maybe I could try my hand at making videos of myself like he did to at least document that I can even play but I haven’t practiced in months and I don’t know that I’ll get anything out of it. I’m thinking about going to school for a trade or something like that at this point, but it definitely feels like I’ve wasted my entire life on something I may never enjoy again. Unfortunately there’s not much of a happy ending to my story so far, but I’m at least much happier than I was when I was in college. Thank you for reading this if you have I know there are many others who probably feel the same

Viewing your videos I sometimes hesitated to believe it was all real, but hearing that story of yours, I'm uttermost impressed. Keep on drumming and stay vertical.
