Simply amazing that a 24 year old Matt Garstka wrote and recorded these drum-parts almost ten years ago! 😳🤩
What savage. I didn’t know he was THAT young.
He was, and then he played at this level, so he was a beast even before then, he joined the band at 22!
@@flowerlandofjohn incredible when you think about it. I'm not gonna go and say he was born with sticks, but that's definitely some good long years of *loving* music more than anything to get there at 22-24.
Wow what an incredible song!! Complex 🥁 tune is an understatement... And a 24 yr old wrote it!!??? Wtf
@@BobLoeber Well, I’m not sure he wrote the whole song himself. They probably wrote it as a band, but he however certainly wrote all of the drum parts 👍🏻
Joy of Motion is such an amazing album.
Iconic and super influential as well. Literally paved the way for ALL instrumental prog/djent that came after
HELL YES.
An all-time great album imo
Maybe my favourite of theirs
Ethereal, majestic, eargasmic. A perfect prog instrumental album. And the songs are not even that long. My favorite song of the album is Para Mexer, such a beautiful song, followed by Tooth and Claw (THAT breakdown. So heavy. So good)
You know it's a REALLY hard drum part when El Estepario is barely smiling or only doing one or two stick tricks while executing it 😅
Yeah one of the really rare times where he isnt overplaying the song lol.
You can see that he is smiling on the inside tho:D
He's using both hands.....
And not drinking coffee!
Or simply using both hands
Something no one talks about and as a drummer of 30 years I feel like I have to point out that his posture is absolutely perfect. His upper torso barely moves. Completely efficient. Something that is sorely overlooked by most drummers.
Never noticed that u til now wow
Him and Matt Greiner have that same straight posture. Both kickass drummers
Billy Cobham advocates these sentiments in his video 'Drums By Design.'
This guy is strongly build… shoulders, arms, torso. Not every drummer is build like that. This is an advantage. And going to the gym (for the other guys) does not make you a better drummer 😅
Had the same thought. I'm by no means a highly skilled drummer, but I picked it back up at 31 with a band, and have improved immensely the last 5 years since. And I can tell what a major difference it does to speed and accuracy to be able to have limbs not only move independently from each other, but also from the torso.
However, there is something to be said for the "efficiency" of upper body movement in very slow grooves, ballads, waltzes etc.. I feel like it can improve my groove immensely to have a gentle "up and down" rocking of my torso, specially when playing brushes.
When El Estepario Siberiano is using two hands, you know it's a hard song. 🤯
😂
that part!!
💀
really
does that mean toxicity is hard?
You know a musician is good when he can play any of Animals as Leaders' songs, let alone add their own fills without damaging the song
I think he also slightly accelerated the song
I am dealing with so much after my husband passed and people just being so mean to me for no reason - and you and your talent is one of the few things these days that truly just makes me smile and I appreciate that
@@kylecooke9893 you know your message alone brought me so much joy tho I am still has me crying at the same time … thank you so much
I hope the best for y’all. Stay strong
I'm sorry for your loss and even more that you're experiencing cruelty from those around, but I'm here to tell you that time will help you with the pain of losing your husband, and also you now know who to remove from your life. The would can be a very cold and brutal place, but it is also where all the beauty, kindness, and all we love is to be found. Keep your head up, this will soon be past chapter in your journey.
@@magneticpupful absolutely!! I am still so sorry to hear about your loss. The pain of losing someone is a mighty feeling..but I can assure you, if there is ANYONE you can talk to it is me. I promise. You have a great day, and even if we talk through random UA-cam comments, that's okay with me. 🙂🤟❤
I lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack and listening to music and talent like this helps ease the pain of grief. And the best goes on…..
The technicality of everything in this song is mindblowing. The fact that at least two people can play this song flawlessly is a feat in and of it's own.
😂
He can't play Kobaryo's "Singularity at 2.64e+6 BPM" even at 1% speed (26400 BPM).
@@arboreal_aspect "Heavy methul is da only real musico"?
@@arboreal_aspect You could've just made fun of it for being an impossible to play tempo. Instead we get the closed-minded "computer generated garbage" line to laugh at.
@@arboreal_aspect No need to describe yourself now.
Man…I can only imagine how hard you work to achieve this level. You deserve all the recognition you are receiving.
I think it was like 8 hours of practice a day, I don't remember for how much time but it was more than 3 years for sure
I wish he would just do original music but that doesn’t get clicks and clicks pay the bills
He also just has a ton of latent talent.
He posted a video a while ago of himself at 16 and he's doing grooves that even a lot of seasoned drummers can't perform
@@fancykarlmarx some people prefer covers or dont have the resources to create music. Also AAL isnt exactly meant for clicks, they're music for musicians which makes them pretty unpopular
@@grahammehl1710 oh I wasn’t trying to disparage the man. He’s incredible no matter what he does.
One of the biggest benefits El Estepario does on UA-cam is literally educate and open the minds of non-drummers and non metal music fans: in terms of the huge talent the world has in terms of metal and hard rock, Animals as Leaders is our case in point.
Amen
In most of the drum covers I see on youtube it feels like the drummer is simply playing along with a song. This man is the keeper of time. Truly amazing.
i cant even imagine how you actually memorize complete drum parts of various songs
It's just a skill. If you play any instrument, long enough and/or properly training, you just "know" the craft of how to remember parts/songs and replicate them.
Memorizing drum parts for songs is actually the easiest part of the process. Delivering them perfectly is another skill altogether and that is the part you should be impressed with.
Can't wait for another tribute to Garstka's (already legendary) drumming.. my favorite youtube musician covering my favorite drummer 😄
Garstka has been one of my favorites for a while! The man is a beast! I do however love who I would consider his counter-part also, Matt Halpern as well!
Same bro, same
You should meet the guy. Will ruin your dreams in five seconds
As an avid fan of AAL this is amazing. If Matt ever needed a break from a tour they need you as the fill in.
AAL has cemented themselves as prog metal Gods with the release of The Joy of Motion. One of the best albums I've ever heard.
Matt is just insane at drumming. So being able to play anything he does or has written just goes to show your skill.
Also shows just how talented Matt is.
Also shows no one can seem to play Matt’s parts like Matt. 🤷♂️
@@0Snare0Affair0 yup, while this is great. It's really not on Matt's level. His playing fits the song 1000x more betterer
Yeah definitely best tribute I've ever seen..
This guy isn't just a musician, hes a magician. That was magical
Part mathematician!
Indeed!
@@rtripp25100%
I mean, think about the drummer that wrote the song. 😉
He's a musician
I appreciate that you still add your own flare to these mind-blowingly complicated songs. You're getting really good with ghost notes and subtle accents.
When I was a teen (90’s) I always wanted a jazz metal fusion band to listen to, and the closest I got was Meshugga. When Animals as Leaders came around I just fell in love with them. Great work!
Cynic was around in the 90s. Did you ever get into them?
@@michaelmaloney7514
Un superbateria!! descanse en paz.
Cynic was around in the 90's, incredible band, listen to their album focus.
Saw Animals As Leaders in my hometown Gävle, Sweden back in 2019 together with TesseracT, Freak Kitchen, Jinjer and others. Fantastic show!
Fantastic drum cover. Not many can manage that.
This is easily their best album to date imo. Every song was such a beautiful developing piece of art that you could really feel being weaved in real time.
Agreed. Madness of many is very technically impressive but only the brain dance stands out to me as a track
Joy of Motion has some good songs but the 2009 first album is their best imo. It hit at the right time and is just special. Their most musical album.
@@bobsondugnutt7526 It sucks that people only share like 2 songs off their first album. Not a bad song on there and so many absolute bangers and utterly unique sounds. Song of Solomon, Innamorata, The Price of Everything and all the delicious jazzy interludes are so underrated. The ultimate fun time road trip album for 'djent' lovers.
@@DrummerJesusnahh Arithmophobia and Backpfeifengesicht also specifically stand out to me. But i agree TJOM is their masterpiece, every song there is a banger
One of my favorite songs from them, your accents and fills are right on point. That's the most I've seen you improvise on one of Matt's tracks. Killed it
Hardest song he has played and yet he makes it look like it's nothing. Simply an incredible drummer hands down no arguments!
He’s really good dont get me wrong. But he surely didn’t make it look like it’s nothing. He messed up several times and he knows it, you can tell by his facial expressions. He’s more stiff and ghosts notes are not as present as when it’s Gartska. A lot of snare hits are off. That being said, yes he’s an incredible drummer and this is a really good performance.
Just wanted to point out that he didn’t make it look like it’s nothing on this one. The struggle was real.
@@Chnkptrue but I swear only a very very few drummers can actually play this
@@Chnkpohhhh come on! 6 minutes of absolute madness, and it’s one take! Without edit/cuts. It’s ok to do minor mistakes, he is not an AI or robot.
@@Alex_994 you missed his point though
@@Chnkp Gartska makes it look like nothing tho... he plays this with his eyes closed.. literally lol
I love how simple your set up is, jazz set with variation of cymbals, but can get such a diverse sound out of it 🤙
He never disappoints but I really never thought this was gonna be that much of a killer!
I'd like to see Matt watching this!
I actually want a Dream Theater album with this dude on this kit.
You're such a ridiculous human that I was looking for a live performance of this song and you hooked me in 5 seconds. You're so goddamned clean on your hits man.....love your content
This is simply jawdropping. After seeing a whole bunch of your outstanding videos, this one might be the most incredible one. Amazing.
Probably the most enjoyable performance I've seen you play. The showmanship with your speed and one handed fills are impressive, but this performance shows your retension for longer performances with many changes which can be challenging mentally rather than physically. Very impressive!
I already know this is going to be insane. Always love when El does AAL!
@@harrytwobob3416Woven Web and C.A.F.O. are up there. I have like a top 20 favorites with bands like Animals as Leaders, Polyphia, Periphery and such lol.
Man watching your stuff really inspires me. Got my self a little drum pad and have started practicing some basics.
This was awesome. And again i can´t wait for the reactions. I also love when you are using the extra tom. Great sound too!
One of the best drum covers of all times!
The polyrhythms and syncopations! Dude really has talent!
Now this is the stuff I've been waiting for. Your technicality with their technicalities.... been craving it. Amazing.
Amazing job. Huge AAL fan. Woven Web is probably my favorite song from them. Man, Matt is a beast and their first drummer Navene is incredible and killing it with Entheos.
You have reached such a formal perfection, that, even if this is not really what touch me as a musician and listener, i can only tell you how much i am amazed by such a crazy dedication ! You are one of a kind ! Bravo !
simply stunning, brilliant, elegant and amazing!
You really are a groove machine. I love every video you make and hope your attitude and fire for percussion never changes. You have become an inspiration to millions.
INSANE cover! Love watching your vids!
You have reignited my passion for drumming!!! I'm going to get an electronic kit (don't have space and neighbours for anything else) and get it back on. It's been too long that I held a pair of sticks. Thank you so much for this!
Love how you put your personal touch on all your covers even one as complex as this 👍👍
Such skill! Good work man!
Menudo despliegue técnico Jorge, pero lo que más me gusta es que toques lo que toques lo haces comiendo pipas, ni te despeinas tío.Control absoluto!!!! Muchas ganas de alucinar con tu nuevo proyecto. Estás en lo más alto pero estoy seguro que tú margen de mejora y progreso solo está empezando a asomar la cabeza. A este ritmo se te recordará dentro de 500 años como el budha de la batería. Precisión quirúrjica. Me alegras el día cabronazo!!!
Simplemente magistral, estoy tan ansioso como tu por escuchar su nuevo single con su nueva banda!
This is Buddy Rich in our modern times. All the techniques, strategies and shops are simply explained here. This man is the portal between those legendary drummers and our current times. He is the school.
His precision is absurd. I'm glad that such performances are recorded here in youtube.
Def one of my fav drummers of all, now hearing u play it just made my day u guys are amazing❤❤❤
Wow this is insane! Amazing precision
This is what mastery looks like. Thanks for an excellent cover! ♥.♥ Animals as Leaders is one of my favorite bands of all time. So much talent packaged in just three people. What a thrill to listen to.
The first song I ever heard by Animals as Leaders was Brain Dance. It was shared with me by a friend, an accordion player, as we discussed epic guitarists. I had no idea what I was in store for. I have been a fan ever since. I missed my chance to see them live as the pandemic began, but I will definitely go if the opportunity presents itself again. From the time signature changes that seem effortless in their hands and the range of style from songs like Brain Dance and heavy Spanish guitar influence from Javier on Apeirophobia, to the urgency created by the skillful madness Matt unleashes at 2m20s on Ectogenesis, I was completely infatuated the more I listened. There's something especially wonderful and otherworldly about the art they create together.
I am a lover of all kinds of music and I'm waiting with great anticipation to hear what your new band brings to the table. I'd wish you great success, but I already feel you cannot fail. ♥ Thank you for sharing what you do with all of us.
How do you keep getting better and better? Bloody brilliant 👏
Muuuuuuy fuerte parce... de verdad que vuelas con esas baquetas!! el mejor !!... te envio la mejor energía man :)
Phenomenally exquisite!
I knew something felt off. This man is playing it at a faster tempo. Amazing shit dude!
Was gonna say! I'm like...this...this feels sped up. What's going on?
Glad someone else caught this too. I thought I was going crazy until I checked against the original. I'm curious why he chose to speed it up.
@@dpanekbecause he can I guess
It’s 10 clicks faster! He took it from 160 to 170 bpm! Crazy!
Noooo waay!!! Disgusting
you need to do a shred sesh with matt garstka dude thatd be fucking legendary
that right there might actually break the internet...
He won't because Gartska would blow him out o the water.
This guy is an insta drummer. Gartska wrote the part, recorded it, made it sound good. This guy mimmicked him and it sounded like shit.
@@awilliams379What an asswipe of a comment.
@@awilliams379i didnt think he sounds like shit, but he fucks up most covers with his im very fast shtick
@@awilliams379 are you having your period?
You're the chillest best drummer i've seen.
Not only is it quick, what really makes it so tough is the uneven rhythm. Its restless, constant change is very difficult for a person to keep up with while staying in tempo. Even as a musician myself, I still can't fathom this level of skill.
Excelent example and execution of syncopation. Well done, sir.
My man you're the only one I've ever seen who managed not to only flawlessly plan an Animals As Leaders song, but to improve it as well. You did it with Tooth and Claw and you doubled that with this video. Hats off, I have no doubts in saying that you're the best drummer alive, maybe ever.
zach hill though
I wouldnt call it improving, just kinda doing his thing
@@c0hink176 his playing is pretty tasteful to me, and that's what improves it. I've seen Matt playing it too and IMO El Estepario is a bit better
I mean besides Matt G. The only one I enjoyed the way Je played this song was Luke Holland but man. Estepario is such a monster.
This guy is a total monster, but the Meinl Festival version of Matt is more my cup of tea, it really comes down to personal preferences. Both drummers are insane
Absolutely awesome
Tu trabajo es impresionante, saludos desde México
Bro, just when I thought you couldn’t get any better. You just leveled up. I’m sure matt garstka him self is salivating at this. You nailed the song and then added even more crazyness to it, amazing.
This is amazing as always. Such an awesome cover and song.
Thank you El Estepario.
You opened my eyes when you slowed down the paradiddles. You're F-ing amazing bro.
I was going to play drums, I saw that notification, now I just wanna wait for it. As always it will be freaking incredible for sure !
Edit : after watching the video, I can confirm that I'm blown away and that this guy is truly a legend ! I watch you since 2020 and I've never seen a drummer that good but still progressing
Wow, such an interesting and enjoyable piece. I was not familiar with this band till watching your renditions. I do like the sound of the different metal, jazz and punk elements that come together. Like they are not supposed, but they soo do. Very interesting sound. LUV ❤️ IT. Amazing... Keep doing u, and keep making a difference in the world.😊
Man I love watching you play. It’s a privilege to be able to hear it let alone see it.
es el momento que tanto esperé , estás a otro nivel
COMPLETELY IMPRESSIVE !!!
AMAZING !!!
What an incredible performance! Would love to hear more Animals as Leaders from this album and Cognitive Contortions.
I don't know how you did it, but you just made me like drums more than guitar. it was inconceivable to me 😮
respect to you, this song is from is one of my favorite albums
It's amazing how effortless you make it seem to play this song. Epic level of mastery!
I got to see Animals as Leaders live as well as the Allen Parsons project. Great show!
Just amazing. Your mastery of polyrhythms is A+ kick ass
I can tell in his face that he thoroughly enjoyed every challenging second of that song. You're still killing it, George!
Great song actually, not heard it before. As always, love your drumming style.
Holy shit, even Matt looks like he's concentrating super hard when he's playing it but you still manage to look pretty relaxed. Really well done!
I never heard of Matt, but now that I know he wrote and recorded this...I must find him to see his performance on the side of this robot. He joked about being a machine...but, I think he really is. This guy is amazing.
aal 🫶🏼
@@Kev621 Matt Garstka is an absolute beast. A true virtuoso of the drums. Check out any of his playthroughs on his channel
Matt always has a permanent stank face and head cocked to the side when he plays.
This is like Einstein level of drumming. I'm so proud of the human race when I see what we can accomplish. I love you sir.😊
Hmm, the track is almost ten years old though 🤔🦍
Not sure about the "we" part. The subset of humans that can actually play this is probably 1.
Why does it matter if the song is from a previous decade?
I really have to agree with you. Well said!
@@gregxite Well, it doesn’t really matter (from a capability of humanity standpoint). But his comments was like this was accomplished now. And it wasn’t, it was ten years ago …
Most focus I have seen on your face during a set. Like you were doing math in you head while drumming. Looked comfortable AF in second half. Awesome 👌
Mat Garstka is a beast for writing this drum track. Almost overshadowed Tosin and Javier on this record ngl
Hardest song youve played?!
1. it was flippin Amazing!
2. You did not appear to struggle at any point.
3. Through it all, you were still having fun within the difficulty of this Amazing song, even doing a couple stick tricks when possible..
Brother it is so awesome to witness the fruits of your hard work.. you dont get to this level without the effort.. i hope everyone else in Awe understands that.. You/We can reach this lvl of drumming as well.. if we simply commit to it..
Keep em comin ya Damn Beast!! 😏😎🤙
Dude I can’t believe I stumbled across this guy years ago and I thought to myself, how does this guy not have a million yet? Now he’s at 2.3M. Crazy🤯
So offtempo it's so crazy and fast ass fills. Mind blown 🤟
Dedication and practice. Any drummer who can record or cover this is on a different planet. Excellent..
EL is one of the best drummers on the planet today- his range and knowledge of the percussions are pretty much unmatched right now!!
I like that no one could disagree with you even in a comment section!!
Ffs, not even Garstka is that relaxed playing this song...
Way to do it real justice man, it's awesome to hear you tackling AAS!
Prolly not that high either 😂
You are AMAZING, and HUMBLE, and PERSONABLE. You are the consumate professional. You are blessed and have worked hard to perfect the skills you are blessed with. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Flawless playing mate!
It's just impossible not to like this video! This is on another level drumming
I used to watch your videos to help me learn songs. Now my brain is just trying to comprehend what you’re doing
Same here…and I’ve been playing for 42 years
I love this song🤘
OMG better tone and more options in my mind, I love you now 20% more :D RESPECT!
My favourite drummer, covering my favourite song, by my favourite band!! I can’t fking contain my excitement and awe! Thank you so much brother, this was SUCH a treat to watch ❤
Awesome cover man, truly unbelievable!! And as you asked for suggestions (very different style 😅): I think it would be very interesting to hear your version of Sting - Seven days, a drumming masterpiece from Vinnie Colaiuta!
BRAVO...this is insane! Really, insanely incredible spot on perfection. You sir, have just earned another subscriber. When you're that good sometimes it looks effortless but we all know how technical this is. If I ever reach a level anywhere near this then my soul will be overflowing with satisfaction. Fuck man, way to lead the game...
Dude that was pretty amazing... Love it your freaking awesome
This dude can literally do anything and I'm here for it. I'm sure Matt would appreciate how spot on this cover is.
I wouldn't call this spot on, it is very much just him playing his own interpretation
Def not spot on
Can we just say how great this drum kit sounds!!!
Absolutely incredible! Not only the playing is amazing but the drum sound as well. 🔥🔥🔥
My dude makes it look so effortless. Fun to watch, thanks for the upload!
