DONT FORGET TO COMMENT THE NEXT DRUMMER THAT YOU WANT ME TO REACT! THE MOST LIKED COMMENT WILL BE DONE ASAP! IMPORTANT MESSSAGE (MUST READ): I see a lot of negativity in the comments questioning the veracity of this video. Im in no position to judge or talk sh!t about other people's work. I never have and never will. i wasn't there when this was recorded (you neither) so if i have to take a stand i voluntarily decide to take the positive one. The world is already crowded with enough hatred, let's try to keep a safe and happy community that supports each other. Please, take my advice, be kind. We are all just trying to go through life the best way we can. God bless!
It's crazy to think that that video was released 11 years ago and how commonplace this kind of style of drumming has become. Pretty happy to own a necklace made from Aarons broken cymbals.
This is what the people like to El Estepario. He never pretend his self as a great or the best and he has always BALLS to look for others,shows respect and HARD work of his videos..we love you man and personally for me you are the best ever entertainer ❤
i fucking love how inclusive you are when i started drumming i was so damn sheepish on the set but its people like you that help us get louder and better please never stop what your doing
I thought El was one of the fastest drummers I ever seen. Seeing El impressed with this guy shows he is still humble. !! Absolutely incredible!!! Much respect!!!!!
Estepario has 4 brains. I don't think there's another drummer like that. There might be some faster but even with speed it's hard to operate four brains
Estepario, hola desde Rusia! Es bueno ver que, aunque usted mismo ha logrado la perfección al tocar la batería, encuentra palabras de admiración por el trabajo de otros músicos. Eres un tipo duro y sin duda se ha convertido en un ejemplo y una estrella guía para muchos. Y lo que has dicho sobre las dificultades por las que has pasado, estoy seguro, también ayuda a muchas personas. Quiero escribir algunas palabras de apoyo para usted mismo: no tiene nada que temer. Habéis alcanzado la grandeza real, habéis entrado en la cohorte de los inmortales, habéis Subido a la altura a la que llegan las unidades. Por favor, deja de preocuparte y permítete ser feliz y sereno. Pase lo que pase en la vida, ya has demostrado que tu espíritu es fuerte y superarás cualquier prueba. ¡Te deseo buena suerte!
AMAZING! Thanks Jorge for turning us on to this! I love that he changes it up sometimes. Great music is as much about the empty spaces as it is with the blast beat 2 measures ago. You know?
Love this Guy's show .I'm a 60 year old drummer I have feet and legs problems I still try to practice playing fast and clean .It's very hard for me .These videos give me hope and a will to push on .Food for thought to all here Double basing and rudimental practices is very very good for cardio .

@JOYSTICKGAMES101 dude do you have eyeballs? Even if it was the studio track can you not see him doing it? I would also like to point out that it's not as perfect as the studio version so.....like he added the imperfections on a computer? Get over it. Most people will never be able to play like this. It's probably why they don't play live. Not humanly possible to play a whole set like that.
@@howardamos3237 he may be playing it but there is no sound coming from the video cause if u could hear it it would most likely sound horrible and your right about its impossible for a human to play it dont worry many people are already called him out on that but the point is why he acting like he is the best drummer in the world doing a video that has no sound and adding the music in and trying to act like hes playing it fucking live and by the way mouth im a woman
I really love this video, because it uses a combination of raw audio, and commentary from a talented drummer who knows what he's talking about, to prove that Aaron Kitcher really is that good, and that all the triggers and such that he uses are not a crutch, but a tool to further enhance the music.
The way that you structure your content with information and enthusiasm and encouragement makes it entertaining and I actually learn how to rock even more just from watching and listening 😊 gracia hermano
I'm amazed nobody pointed out there's not a microphone in sight.... This guys from my hometown and this video is a million years old - its video to midi drums.
Absolutely that fellow playing is amazing man. I appreciate your honesty saying that you can't play that. I don't think anybody can play it but the guy that just played it. F****** awesome thank you thank you man. Sounds like choppers in the sky, shooting everything as it goes by.
Please take a look/reaction to Evgeny Novikov from when he was playing in Katalepsy (tracks such as Blindead Sultan or Knifed Humility). He is a very talented drummer and is very technical as well as fast; he was one of the reasons I got into drumming!
As a metal head and a mechanical engineer, drumming could actually be measured in horsepower. Good quote. You opened a new era, maybe bps should be measured differently
Love this video! I look forward to this year. And, you are making your videos correctly. You are focusing on the artist by giving them the majority of the screen. Very respectful. Thank you.
Bro, if you think this is crazy, you need to see *_Morgan Sansous_* from the band *_Henker!_* The guy is 🤯! I also recommend *_Lyle Cooper_* from *_The Faceless,_* playing *_Planetary Duality._* He's the one that actually wrote the drums on that masterpiece of an album. Unfortunately, other drummers that joined after him tend to mistakenly get the credit for writing those incredible drums. Both Morgan, and Lyle are very underrated drummers.
“No, no, no, that progression, 8th notes, 16th notes, 10,000zinnffth notes, wow!” Right after the Flintstones car bit. This guy is highly entertaining, and amazing in everything he does. I bet he can eat a bowl of cornflakes, like nobodies business. Came for the drums, stayed for the commentary! EESSBiano is a legend!
Great video all around. Your personality really showed here and it's the video that's made me subscribe after casually viewing your shorts for a long time. Also I really appreciate the way you explained triggers.
El Estepario..fucking heartwarming how much intensity and time you spend for the stuff you reacting!💪Honourous and totaly respectfull when you love that kind of technics other Drummers play,spotted on the fakt that your be a sick ass Artist at you self😍especially on this react with all the honesty!!👍🤘gives me hope in humanity again❤Keep this shit goi'n brother!!!Big Respect✌️
Well, Aaron has admitted online that he records each song in sections and pastes them together in ProTools. He also admits that the third record was totally programmed, although he claims he never programs anything he can't actually play. Also, have you ever wondered why there IS NO LIVE Infant Annihaltor footage online? We only get to see edited video clips of his performances. Hmmmm. Also, I've sat on both sides of the recording console and can tell you that it's super rare for a drummer, especially an extreme metal drummer, to NOT have tracks cleaned up in production. Sure, I envy his talent, but there is nothing "loser" about my statement. It's simply the truth. I'm absolutely willing to believe that he can play 95% of what you hear, but I'm also willing to bet that his tracks are cleaned up like everyone else's. If you are a drummer, you already know.@@TheChzoronzon
It's hard to tell because we are watching an edited video. We aren't seeing a single, live take. So, the chances that he is performing flawlessly enough to avoid beat quantization and editing in the production phase are very slim at those speeds. Do I believe he can play that fast? Yes. Can he do it flawlessly? No. Can he do it in one take? Probably not. Are we hearing an unedited audio track. Absolutely not. Still takes tremendous talent to do what he manages to do. I'm just a realist with real world experience of my own. @@TheChzoronzon
@@SN-cb9xj I don't hear a flawless performance, except in the inhuman consistency of the bass drum, but we have already agreed that's triggered. I hear a human performance, not a grid... and neither does Jorge, that you'll admit is quite knowledgeable on the issue... For me, this is a 100% case of people being anal, cause the crappy quality of the image, and its low framerate, gives them the perfect excuse to be Captain Smartass... but ey, maybe I'm wrong and there's no malice at all in those that started the rumor... Again: you are being kinda reasonable, don't take this as personal :)
I don't take it personally. I simply know what goes on in a professional recording studio, and it's pretty easy to find out what Aaron himself has said about the matter. There are also a number of other reaction videos available on this particular track if you care to see what others think, but it sounds like you're pretty prejudiced against any sort of criticism. I get it. I used to be the same way about my favorite drummers.@@TheChzoronzon
As one of the best drummers, in my opinion, that I’ve ever heard, hearing him say look, there’s others that are better and showing it off is impressive. Much love man.
Thank you so much for the video, this was freakin awesome. Wanted to say, having seem drummers react to your videos with looks of amazement and wondering how the hell you do what you do, Im impressed that even you have no idea how Aaaron does this. Shows a little humility on your part and I respect that.
I was alway saying-Aaron is THE BEST metal drummer ever existing. Joey Jordison-is great,El Estapario-is absolutelly insane,but THIS GUY-he is absolutelly ON ANOTHER LEVEL. He is both very creative with a bit slower,groovier parts,and absolutelly MIND BLOWING with his speed and accuracy. This is a VERY TOP TIRE drummer. And it always made me gutted how actually underrated he is,even now.
This drummer is fucking fast as fuck and his beats are wicked and the way he plays this bass drum is fucking crazy . Another great video brother like always...
We need some awesome musicians like yourself influencing the youth. We need more individuality in the rock and metal world. Love your vids brother, when the robots take over Ill stand by you Mr. Connor. 🤟
Fantastic! Infant Annihilator and Archspire are my two favourite Technical Death Metal bands, have a look at Spencer Prewitt next - your mind will implode
Yes! Lyle is sick! He's the one that actually wrote the drums on Planetary Duality (which is a masterpiece btw). It's funny that you say he looks possessed, because some crazy Christian conspiracy theorists were using footage of him playing Planetary Duality as proof of a musician that sold their soul to the devil and is possessed 🤣. I guess it's a pretty good compliment when you're so good that normies think you must be possessed lol.
@@xenophagia Lyle is awesome! He has his own UA-cam page and occasionally gets on here and posts some amazing stuff from time to time. Have you ever heard of Matt Kuykendall from All Shall Perish? He’s another awesome drummer I wish was still out here blasting away on the drums. Sadly I think both he and Lyle are now working 9-5s like the rest us :(
Espectacular... Este disco me está volviendo loco!!! Pero supongo que todo el mundo está esperando lo mismo.... Para cuando un cover del Estepario???? Dale!!!!!!
Hearing a phenom like Estepario shower another's performance with such unmitigated selfless praise is the most refreshing thing I've heard all year, and today is my birthday. The level of respect is unprecedented, the commentary is hilarious and I'll definitely be sharing this video. I'd smoke a blunt with this dude. Hell, I'd gladly hack off my left nut Yakuza style just to play in a band with this dude. Much respect. Loved and subscribed my guy 😂❤
If I were Aaron, having Estepario rate me so highly would feel pretty damn good! Aaron is an absolute monster on this video. Those kick drum accelerations are just obscene. Which fits the theme of the band.....😅
Gosh I first saw this maybe 2-3 years ago and I was floored! Triggers or not..... this dude is amazing! Then Sir Estepario came along and I get floored every week or so! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
watch it again at 0,5x speed. he's great but that video is bullshit. there are snare hits missing and the blasts are louder than the basic snare hits...the video is way off sync.
@@blindguardian1979 I know I can't on many vids but you're absolutely right that it's just fine to point out (comment) on anything in any video if you so choose! 💙👊🏼
@@Beast_Hub I get where you're coming from bad that argument is so overused, like imagine replying to someone criticizing a movie by saying "Why don't you make a better movie" like they have to be a director or something to point out their issues with something
"Kids don't wanna hear drums, they want to hear machine guns" (John Longstreth) A propósito, la comunidad baterística a nivel global NECESITA que reacciones a John Longstreth: la última canción que sacó con platillos Meinl llamada "Saligia" es una obra maestra del olimpo del metal extremo👌🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻 SEGUÍ con las reacciones Jorge, me encantan!!!
Man every time i listen to the isolated drum video, my brain fills in the guitar and screams; that song is absolutely unforgettable. Legendary. I bet everyone remembers the first time they heard this iconic masterpiece
What an amazing musician! The phrase "God Speed" has a whole new meaning!! Excellent work, El Estepario, bringing Aaron to your audience. Your professional view on what Aaron is able to do is quite humbling to the masses. Great work!!
We all know estepario could play infant annihilator with one hand smoking a ciggarette while drinking his coffee and half asleep. This can play anything. And yes this is the song my grandma first learned to play on her drum kit. Dave mstthews is stepping it up big time.
@6:40, WTF are his feet even doing here?!?! It's like he just reached down and gave them both a gigantic shot of adrenaline or something! Fucking insane!!!!!!!!
Yall know this isnt an actual playthrough of the song right? EI Estepario is always going to keep it positive for us and I love him for that! Check out Craig Reynolds analysis of this video for clarification… 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@metaldrummersonly4402 yeah, this faker is really bad for the German world. It discourages thousands of drummers from even trying and encourages many to just quit.
I would love to see a breakdown of Clay Aeschliman's work. His musicality is top notch. On the topic of Triggers, I would definitely recommend checking out Chris Turner from Oceans Ate Alaska. He plays without triggers. Enjoy!! Edit: I forgot you did 40 Roll already. Chris Turner is a beast.
What I love about *INFANT ANNIHILATOR* is their vocal screaming. Dan Watson and Dickie is a monster. I don't really cares about how the drumming and guitar was done. If I enjoy, I enjoy.
i love this kind of long form content! i’d love to see his thoughts on a drummer like danny walker, particularly the stuff he did with intronaut. it’s some of the most unique drumming i’ve ever seen, hands down.
Dude I've been seeing more and more of your vids on line and you absolutely kick ass on your drums and your commentary is insightful and funny bro you rock and keep em coming
I can’t help myself, I know my main man here will probably NEVER see my comment... Never the less I have to say, what a stand up guy you are! I am not only blessed to have ears to hear this amazing drummer, but to hear your humility is inspiring! I have often wondered what you may feel when you hear certain pieces of music that are complex and maybe “only being complex for the sake of complexity” or when you hear a drummer (doing exactly what this crazy beast is doing) bringing his A game and really, not only crushing it, but bringing beauty (as you always do) And I’m blown away by your responces ... You have my deepest respect my friend, I would love to hear your feedback everyday on every single freaking aspect on every living and non-living thing😂😂😂 The quote “He makes me want to quit playing guitar...” should be on every bumber sticker on every drum kit!!! Love it! Thank you brother!
dude this video was great i highly recommend Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) DRUMS ONLY Painters of the Tempest drum play through Dan is an amazing drummer and deserves more recognition.
I find it hard to believe you can't do a side by side video with this guy but you can do a side by side with the robot. If anyone could play this it's you.
Not everything has to be a competition. One of the reasons I like Estepario is that he celebrates talented individuals. Maybe he'll show his version of this in the future, but in this video, where he's pointing us to someone who's absolutely KILLING it... doing a side by side just to try and one-up him would be against the point he's trying to make.
I'm pretty sure he could play that too easily, but it's not the point of this video that he'll plays it. I think he respect talented fellow drummer and wants to point things he makes well. And of course doesn't want to make his feel bad by playing the same with one hand while smoking and drinking diet coke. ;-)
Im pretty sure he is able to play it but he need to practice it, like he said everyone can play like him but in order to do that you need to sit and practice 8h a day for years
me encanta como muestras esto a la gente, porque realmente odio cuando intentan desmeritar el trabajo y logros de Aaron, buen video!!! espero cover pronto :D
DONT FORGET TO COMMENT THE NEXT DRUMMER THAT YOU WANT ME TO REACT! THE MOST LIKED COMMENT WILL BE DONE ASAP!

I really love this video, because it uses a combination of raw audio, and commentary from a talented drummer who knows what he's talking about, to prove that Aaron Kitcher really is that good, and that all the triggers and such that he uses are not a crutch, but a tool to further enhance the music.
What is power?
Bro Aaron Kitcher speeds his videos up. It's already been debunked.
@@extremesoul666 Citation needed, bub.
@@extremesoul666what evidence do you have of this claim ?
@@Checkoutbetweenthesoulandeye There's no evidence for this being legit. It's a playthrough. Read my previous comment to the other guy.
Imagine having this fucking badass in awe of your work. Incredible.
It's fake bro. He can't drum like that. That's why they dont tour lol
Aaron Kitcher is an absolute god. I found him several years ago and he made me want to throw my thrash metal playing ass in the garbage.
HE IS FAKE BY THE WAY THE VIDEO IS NOT A LIVE RECORDING OF THE DRUMS
@@JOYSTICKGAMES101 you can clearly still see him fucking playing it are you blind?
@JOYSTICKGAMES101 then do it yourself then 😂😂😂😂
@@JOYSTICKGAMES101idk, I see his moves, seems legit
Duuude! He´s the A10 Warthog of drummers! 😁
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
The way that you structure your content with information and enthusiasm and encouragement makes it entertaining and I actually learn how to rock even more just from watching and listening 😊 gracia hermano
I'm amazed nobody pointed out there's not a microphone in sight....
This guys from my hometown and this video is a million years old - its video to midi drums.
Where are you guys from? Are they still recording & touring?
@@russell_szabados the infant annihilator guys all formed a band called 'Black Tongue' including this drummer. Hull.
X
I love IA but the drums triggered to hell
@@XueYlva oh it’s more than that. Watch Craig Reynolds’s natty or not video
I didn't know where they were from until I recognised Hessle foreshore on one of the music videos, which is where I walk my dog!
6:51 "it's not the soap and the bubbles and the f*cking thing" 😂.... I'm gonna have to up my white noise game
Absolutely that fellow playing is amazing man. I appreciate your honesty saying that you can't play that. I don't think anybody can play it but the guy that just played it. F****** awesome thank you thank you man. Sounds like choppers in the sky, shooting everything as it goes by.
Aaron Kitchers hands down best work is the drumming on Rings of Saturns album Lugal Ki En. Doesn’t get nearly the praise it deserves
I have been waiting for this. I absolutely love Aaron Kitcher. Thank you for this.
Please take a look/reaction to Evgeny Novikov from when he was playing in Katalepsy (tracks such as Blindead Sultan or Knifed Humility). He is a very talented drummer and is very technical as well as fast; he was one of the reasons I got into drumming!
I also thought about him %)
And now Slaughter to Prevail is everywhere.
From USSR with love %)
@@Джем-ь5к I'm actually missing his technicality from S2P as much as I love them 😢
I agree with this, his writing in Katalepsy was so complex, I love it.
Anddd, he holds his drumsticks backwards which is just bonus points
Those are some of the best drum videos on YT. So ridiculously fast and complex. I still watch them from time to time.
As a metal head and a mechanical engineer, drumming could actually be measured in horsepower. Good quote. You opened a new era, maybe bps should be measured differently
I'm so glad you did this! Please do Spencer Prewett of Archspire next. I would love to see that blow your mind!
Him, and Morgan Sansous of Henker 🤘🤘
Spencer Prewett, Austin Archey (lorna shore), and Evgeny Novikov(slaughter to prevail). I would love to see him check out all 3 of them.
And the drummer from Animals as Leaders
Spencer Prewett is a must! Archspire are so fast. Spencer's stamina and footwork are godly.
I saw them play in november and yea, they were crazy fast.
Love this video! I look forward to this year. And, you are making your videos correctly. You are focusing on the artist by giving them the majority of the screen. Very respectful. Thank you.
the "one liners" in this are just GOLD!!!
Bro, if you think this is crazy, you need to see *_Morgan Sansous_* from the band *_Henker!_* The guy is 🤯!
I also recommend *_Lyle Cooper_* from *_The Faceless,_* playing *_Planetary Duality._* He's the one that actually wrote the drums on that masterpiece of an album. Unfortunately, other drummers that joined after him tend to mistakenly get the credit for writing those incredible drums.
Both Morgan, and Lyle are very underrated drummers.
“No, no, no, that progression, 8th notes, 16th notes, 10,000zinnffth notes, wow!” Right after the Flintstones car bit. This guy is highly entertaining, and amazing in everything he does. I bet he can eat a bowl of cornflakes, like nobodies business. Came for the drums, stayed for the commentary! EESSBiano is a legend!
Flintstones car bit 😂😂😂😂😂❤
I was looking for the "10,000tthhhh notes" comment bahahahaha.
Idk if he has writers. If its all him, hes a wonderful entertainer with great comedy and quips
Thank you for covering some infant annihilator!!! Love this band they’re hilarious and incredible
"Imagine him driving a Flintstone car. BOOOOY WOULD HE BE FAST!"
I lost it at that.😂😂😂
Great video all around. Your personality really showed here and it's the video that's made me subscribe after casually viewing your shorts for a long time. Also I really appreciate the way you explained triggers.
Personality and Emotions ❤
Bro talking and reacting as if he can't do that kind of things when we've all seen he do, gotta love it.
El Estepario..fucking heartwarming how much intensity and time you spend for the stuff you reacting!💪Honourous and totaly respectfull when you love that kind of technics other Drummers play,spotted on the fakt that your be a sick ass Artist at you self😍especially on this react with all the honesty!!👍🤘gives me hope in humanity again❤Keep this shit goi'n brother!!!Big Respect✌️
Triggers are important to achieve that sound, but don't forget you're probably hearing a good bit of beat quantization and Pro Tools magic as well.
How do you know? Any hard proof or source I can check, or just hearsay and the typical online loser envy?
Legitimately curious
Well, Aaron has admitted online that he records each song in sections and pastes them together in ProTools. He also admits that the third record was totally programmed, although he claims he never programs anything he can't actually play. Also, have you ever wondered why there IS NO LIVE Infant Annihaltor footage online? We only get to see edited video clips of his performances. Hmmmm. Also, I've sat on both sides of the recording console and can tell you that it's super rare for a drummer, especially an extreme metal drummer, to NOT have tracks cleaned up in production. Sure, I envy his talent, but there is nothing "loser" about my statement. It's simply the truth. I'm absolutely willing to believe that he can play 95% of what you hear, but I'm also willing to bet that his tracks are cleaned up like everyone else's. If you are a drummer, you already know.@@TheChzoronzon
It's hard to tell because we are watching an edited video. We aren't seeing a single, live take. So, the chances that he is performing flawlessly enough to avoid beat quantization and editing in the production phase are very slim at those speeds. Do I believe he can play that fast? Yes. Can he do it flawlessly? No. Can he do it in one take? Probably not. Are we hearing an unedited audio track. Absolutely not. Still takes tremendous talent to do what he manages to do. I'm just a realist with real world experience of my own. @@TheChzoronzon
@@SN-cb9xj I don't hear a flawless performance, except in the inhuman consistency of the bass drum, but we have already agreed that's triggered. I hear a human performance, not a grid... and neither does Jorge, that you'll admit is quite knowledgeable on the issue...
For me, this is a 100% case of people being anal, cause the crappy quality of the image, and its low framerate, gives them the perfect excuse to be Captain Smartass... but ey, maybe I'm wrong and there's no malice at all in those that started the rumor...
Again: you are being kinda reasonable, don't take this as personal :)
I don't take it personally. I simply know what goes on in a professional recording studio, and it's pretty easy to find out what Aaron himself has said about the matter. There are also a number of other reaction videos available on this particular track if you care to see what others think, but it sounds like you're pretty prejudiced against any sort of criticism. I get it. I used to be the same way about my favorite drummers.@@TheChzoronzon
As one of the best drummers, in my opinion, that I’ve ever heard, hearing him say look, there’s others that are better and showing it off is impressive. Much love man.
Nechtan nearly always makes triggerless versions of his videos, and changes are minimal, because he's good ^^
Thank you so much for the video, this was freakin awesome. Wanted to say, having seem drummers react to your videos with looks of amazement and wondering how the hell you do what you do, Im impressed that even you have no idea how Aaaron does this. Shows a little humility on your part and I respect that.
I was alway saying-Aaron is THE BEST metal drummer ever existing. Joey Jordison-is great,El Estapario-is absolutelly insane,but THIS GUY-he is absolutelly ON ANOTHER LEVEL. He is both very creative with a bit slower,groovier parts,and absolutelly MIND BLOWING with his speed and accuracy. This is a VERY TOP TIRE drummer. And it always made me gutted how actually underrated he is,even now.
Jordison RIP wssnt even a top 20 guy when he was alive. He was simply a man in a popular band
This drummer is fucking fast as fuck and his beats are wicked and the way he plays this bass drum is fucking crazy . Another great video brother like always...
We need some awesome musicians like yourself influencing the youth. We need more individuality in the rock and metal world. Love your vids brother, when the robots take over Ill stand by you Mr. Connor. 🤟
Fantastic! Infant Annihilator and Archspire are my two favourite Technical Death Metal bands, have a look at Spencer Prewitt next - your mind will implode
Aaron Kitcher's drumming in Black Tongue is fucking amazing, too. Love this guy.
finally slows down haha
HE PLAYS IN BLACK TONGUE ???
He also writed some things for Ring of Saturn, love his work there
@@wolfino9913wrote* and no Aaron recorded Jesse's drum parts for Lugal Ki En then got booted from the band
Love your trigger explanation cause everyone hates on it. I think it sounds wicked. Makes for good punch in songs.
You're such a charming personality, a stoner and one of the best drummers I ever witnessed-all stuff I really love.
That band is sick, amazing drummer, amazing vocalist
Uhh also…Lyle Cooper…Planetary Duality. The live video is insane. Dude looks possessed. Amazing drummer!
Yes! Lyle is sick! He's the one that actually wrote the drums on Planetary Duality (which is a masterpiece btw).
It's funny that you say he looks possessed, because some crazy Christian conspiracy theorists were using footage of him playing Planetary Duality as proof of a musician that sold their soul to the devil and is possessed 🤣.
I guess it's a pretty good compliment when you're so good that normies think you must be possessed lol.
@@xenophagia Lyle is awesome! He has his own UA-cam page and occasionally gets on here and posts some amazing stuff from time to time. Have you ever heard of Matt Kuykendall from All Shall Perish? He’s another awesome drummer I wish was still out here blasting away on the drums. Sadly I think both he and Lyle are now working 9-5s like the rest us :(
Espectacular... Este disco me está volviendo loco!!! Pero supongo que todo el mundo está esperando lo mismo.... Para cuando un cover del Estepario???? Dale!!!!!!
Hearing a phenom like Estepario shower another's performance with such unmitigated selfless praise is the most refreshing thing I've heard all year, and today is my birthday.
The level of respect is unprecedented, the commentary is hilarious and I'll definitely be sharing this video.
I'd smoke a blunt with this dude.
Hell, I'd gladly hack off my left nut Yakuza style just to play in a band with this dude.
Much respect.
Loved and subscribed my guy 😂❤
It was satire because we all know it was faked lol
@@KitWriterlol did that dude finger your girlfriend ?
If I were Aaron, having Estepario rate me so highly would feel pretty damn good!
Aaron is an absolute monster on this video. Those kick drum accelerations are just obscene. Which fits the theme of the band.....😅
Seeing you fully Geek out on someone as amazing as him! It brings many hearts and smiles to my soul!!! Thank you so so much for posting!!! :D
That's insane, like youtube's renowed purpose to feed us ads
Gosh I first saw this maybe 2-3 years ago and I was floored! Triggers or not..... this dude is amazing! Then Sir Estepario came along and I get floored every week or so! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
watch it again at 0,5x speed. he's great but that video is bullshit. there are snare hits missing and the blasts are louder than the basic snare hits...the video is way off sync.
@@spitzkopflarry9196let’s see you play it then
@@Beast_Hub just cause he can't do it means he can't point out the video is severely edited?
@@blindguardian1979 I know I can't on many vids but you're absolutely right that it's just fine to point out (comment) on anything in any video if you so choose! 💙👊🏼
@@Beast_Hub I get where you're coming from bad that argument is so overused, like imagine replying to someone criticizing a movie by saying "Why don't you make a better movie" like they have to be a director or something to point out their issues with something
I learned something today: If a drummer looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo and wears a beanie, be afraid. BE VERY AFRAID.
"Kids don't wanna hear drums, they want to hear machine guns" (John Longstreth)
A propósito, la comunidad baterística a nivel global NECESITA que reacciones a John Longstreth: la última canción que sacó con platillos Meinl llamada "Saligia" es una obra maestra del olimpo del metal extremo👌🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
SEGUÍ con las reacciones Jorge, me encantan!!!
Man every time i listen to the isolated drum video, my brain fills in the guitar and screams; that song is absolutely unforgettable. Legendary. I bet everyone remembers the first time they heard this iconic masterpiece
DMB drummers have always been incredible, i remember Carter Beauford was insane in the day- thanks for the vid amazing as always
Why did the video mention DMB? Is there a connection with this guy and DMB?
???
@@groundef i dont know but carter was an incredible drummer
What an amazing musician! The phrase "God Speed" has a whole new meaning!! Excellent work, El Estepario, bringing Aaron to your audience. Your professional view on what Aaron is able to do is quite humbling to the masses. Great work!!
Right? I felt like I almost shot a load at a few parts hearing this. Unreal!
@@M4n1Acal1That's because it's *_literally_* unreal lol
We all know estepario could play infant annihilator with one hand smoking a ciggarette while drinking his coffee and half asleep. This can play anything.
And yes this is the song my grandma first learned to play on her drum kit. Dave mstthews is stepping it up big time.
@6:40, WTF are his feet even doing here?!?! It's like he just reached down and gave them both a gigantic shot of adrenaline or something! Fucking insane!!!!!!!!
Yall know this isnt an actual playthrough of the song right?
EI Estepario is always going to keep it positive for us and I love him for that!
Check out Craig Reynolds analysis of this video for clarification…
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for this comment
@@metaldrummersonly4402 yeah, this faker is really bad for the German world. It discourages thousands of drummers from even trying and encourages many to just quit.
Estepario, de verdad que nunca me rei tanto en un video y a la vez aprendí tanto, sos el puto amo❤
I would love to see a breakdown of Clay Aeschliman's work. His musicality is top notch. On the topic of Triggers, I would definitely recommend checking out Chris Turner from Oceans Ate Alaska. He plays without triggers. Enjoy!!
Edit: I forgot you did 40 Roll already. Chris Turner is a beast.
What I love about *INFANT ANNIHILATOR* is their vocal screaming.
Dan Watson and Dickie is a monster.
I don't really cares about how the drumming and guitar was done.
If I enjoy, I enjoy.
i love this kind of long form content! i’d love to see his thoughts on a drummer like danny walker, particularly the stuff he did with intronaut. it’s some of the most unique drumming i’ve ever seen, hands down.
Dude I've been seeing more and more of your vids on line and you absolutely kick ass on your drums and your commentary is insightful and funny bro you rock and keep em coming
Love the positivity, the humor etc. you definitely are an inspiration to the drumming community!
He’s awesome. Es Magnifico
I can’t help myself, I know my main man here will probably NEVER see my comment... Never the less I have to say, what a stand up guy you are! I am not only blessed to have ears to hear this amazing drummer, but to hear your humility is inspiring! I have often wondered what you may feel when you hear certain pieces of music that are complex and maybe “only being complex for the sake of complexity” or when you hear a drummer (doing exactly what this crazy beast is doing) bringing his A game and really, not only crushing it, but bringing beauty (as you always do) And I’m blown away by your responces ... You have my deepest respect my friend, I would love to hear your feedback everyday on every single freaking aspect on every living and non-living thing😂😂😂
The quote “He makes me want to quit playing guitar...” should be on every bumber sticker on every drum kit!!! Love it!
Thank you brother!
dude this video was great i highly recommend Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) DRUMS ONLY Painters of the Tempest drum play through Dan is an amazing drummer and deserves more recognition.
IA were my most listened artist last year, there's just not much other deathcore that hits the same for me, all of them are such amazing musicians.
IA drums are programmed
Ik, don't really see how that matters tho.
Really enjoying Lorna Shore's latest album, if you haven't heard it. IA are rad too.
@@PossiblyABird You called them amazing musicians implying they actually play their instruments as you hear on albums. They dont. Thats why
Wait
Why is El Estepario praising this Aaron guy then?
John Longstreth of Origin playing Saligia for one of the Meinl videos. It is truly fucking amazing and will blow you away man!
I really hope to see this guy live on stage some day. Favorite drummer on this crazy earth. Keep up the good work! 3:34 😂
You won't, cause he can't play like that in reality, especially not a whole set.
I find it hard to believe you can't do a side by side video with this guy but you can do a side by side with the robot. If anyone could play this it's you.
Not everything has to be a competition. One of the reasons I like Estepario is that he celebrates talented individuals. Maybe he'll show his version of this in the future, but in this video, where he's pointing us to someone who's absolutely KILLING it... doing a side by side just to try and one-up him would be against the point he's trying to make.
I'm pretty sure he could play that too easily, but it's not the point of this video that he'll plays it. I think he respect talented fellow drummer and wants to point things he makes well. And of course doesn't want to make his feel bad by playing the same with one hand while smoking and drinking diet coke. ;-)
@@EsaNuutinen I'd still rather see him play the shit out of it. We demand it 🫡
@@J0KER1010demanding makes u sound like a liberal , I’m hoping you’re better than that
Im pretty sure he is able to play it but he need to practice it, like he said everyone can play like him but in order to do that you need to sit and practice 8h a day for years
me encanta como muestras esto a la gente, porque realmente odio cuando intentan desmeritar el trabajo y logros de Aaron, buen video!!! espero cover pronto :D
Me anticipating the snare blast and awaiting E.S.’s reaction.. 👀👀
