    I’ve been a drummer for 26 years, didn’t miss a day of practice for the first 6 years. Played constantly when I was young. Started a family and it took a back seat. Well my kids are now both and school. Time to dust off the kit and get practicing. Thanks for the inspiration !!!

    You simply can't compare this music with today's chart music. Spotify songs only with 2-3 minutes. In those older kinds of songs with 4-5 minutes and different segments, you really can engulf yourself in the music, it is kind of meditative, and you forget your surroundings for a couple of minutes, which is awesome.

      Songs like this still exist, you just have to actually look for them instead of having them handed to you. There was just as much trash back then as there is now, but all the junk gets forgotten.

    As a drummer for over 30 years with a successful family business, raising a big family, I had to put drums last on my list. No regrets, I still have my old Blackchrome Slingerlands in the basement. Time to get back with lessons and training with the mysterious El Estepario. He single handedly made drums a huge inspiration for beginners and old timers like myself. Alex Van Halen blew our minds with Live without a net. His drum solo was insane. So many great drummers from the past and Now Here comes El Esteparios!

    I’ve been a metalhead for over 35 years, and I suck at guitar! Why Do I suck at the guitar? Talent is there but discipline is not! So, in addition to madly enjoying EES’s videos, I bow to his commitment to discipline.
    I grew up in a time when shredders tried their “bestest” to burn guitars necks … playing as much as possible notes which I enjoyed it a lot back then, but later on I reached to the point where on many occasions I said “oh pls don’t overplay it, pls don’t go too far!”, but EES never overplays. He masterfully convinces you that he can play more notes, much more, but he doesn’t. Everything is masterfully in place, and balanced.
    Calling him one of the best drummers alive, or the best drummer, is just not enough.
    He singlehandedly has changed drumming, and has opened doors to new realms of drumming.
    Good for the generation(s) who will be inspired by him.
    RESPECT!
    ❤🤘❤️

    The part most people don’t notice about that song is how tricky the galloping patterns are on the ride cymbal, especially during the guitar solo. He nailed it from what I can tell, although the ride wasn't very forward in the mix. Most excellent job!
