@@lwandisompembe3521 It's not that hard to find a nice, relatively inexpensive studio for tracking if you're in the right city. But even if you track in a great room, finding a great mixer to mix those great natural drums is probably gonna cost if you want the mix to be truly competitive with the top artists. Mid-tier mixer costs are typically anywhere from 650-1k+ per track. The most in-demand guys might want at least a few thousand+ per track from my personal experience. And it can go way beyond a few thousand
The fact that with every drum solo mario posts, i at least once have the thought, “i’ve never heard any other drummer do something like that” is what makes Mario one of my favorite drummers. He just is so ingenious when it comes to making something which is catchy while still blowing my mind every single time. Thanks for being such an inspiration, Mario!
@@Stoovey24 I'm not sure how to even quantify creativiness but in terms of creating patterns I've never heard before Mario Duplantier is at the top of the mountain right now.
The part that starts at 0:52 sounds to me like something that could be implemented in one of the new songs from their upcoming album. For some reason it just feels right to imagine Joe playing some heavy riff when the double kicks joins.
Flawless as the ocean, fluent as a river, timing as a clock, perfect precision. Mario is just a beast on drums, groovy and heavy combination in his rhythms. 🥁
Le plus grand batteur de métal moderne nous a gratifiés d'un nouveau solo de batterie. Aujourd'hui est un jour incroyable! Im not french, but I'm trying to learn it. It might be a little rough. Thank you, Mario.
I have been a fan of yours for years, and this solo once again proves that you are one of the most creative, powerful and unique drummers today. I have the most admiration towards the way you have put in the work and are expressing yourself through this beautiful instrument. Bravo Mario ! 😊🙏🏼
I've played drums for over 50 years. Mario is very quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite drummers. His patterns and cymbal work are just brilliant! Thanks for posting this! I've already listened to it roughly a hundred times!! 😅
My wife didn’t fully understand my excitement this morning, more so didn’t understand how I couldn’t contain myself when this came over. They’ve had such a huge impact on my life recently it’s hard to not get super excited about.
Mario, étant moi même batteur ,je trouve ton style très originale et hors du commun, tu ne fais pas ce que font tous les autres grands drummer, tu es un créateur, un style propre à toi, ta batterie chante notamment cette vieille TAMA, en repique que des overheads et le son est superbe, tes solos sont toujours un plaisir à écouter ,à différence des autres qui veulent toujours surplomber en débit bass drum où tous les solos se ressemblent,, toi tu joues, ta batterie sonne, chante et c'est ton jeu, bravo.
This is simply unbelievable. It’s tempting to chalk these sorts of musical feats up to some Faustian bargain; but, that is a complete attack on this man’s years of dedication. The skill that Mario has is incredible. A once an era happening.
I just seen you guys open up for korn at pine knob in Detroit, Michigan. I'm a forever gojira fan now 😎 May have been the best performance of any concert I've ever been to! Being a drummer myself, I was in total awe watching you play such fast, intense drum parts flawlessly meanwhile headbanging your entire way through it 🤘 The entire bands energy and passion for the music during the performance was amazing to watch. Hoping to see you guys back in the area next summer 🤞
Mario! You are so musical! You are so helpful in teaching my students the reason why they should practice their rudiments! Also, your solo's are full of creative linear drills! Can I assume that many of your solo's are born out of your practice sessions? Love your musicality soloing concepts and phrasing! There are very few drummers who I enjoy listening to solo and you are at the top of the list! Bravo!!
Daniel Erlandsson! There are lots amazing musicians throughout history. We are living in an amazing time and no better application of technology because great music and musicians brings us all together😊
You guys have saved me from suicide when life was at its worst. Thankyou Mario,Christian,Jean and Joe, i love you guys so much! I have a Gojira logo that takes up the entire back of my car
My eyeballs froze and my mouth is dry now from hanging open. Lol Man. Mario is the most artisitc drummer around. He's highly unique and an absolute surgeon on the set. Incredible! ❤️
Skills 💯 Energy 💯 Passion 💯 Respect 💯 I can’t make the determination of who is the greatest drummer on the planet, nobody can, but Mario is one of the contenders for sure.
Mario is definitely a force of nature. It's SO BEAUTIFUL to see him playing! It's so awesome to say the least! Thanks for your incredible work, as always 💖
Quel travail de dingue ça doit être, pour en arriver à sortir des solo aussi magistraux... C'est simplement phénoménal. Bravo Mario Duplantier, pour tes prestations si magistrales. Tu me donne envie d'être toujours meilleur à la batterie et de travailler comme un dingue pour en arriver, peut-être un jour, à approcher un dixième de ta maîtrise. Vive Gojira et vive les frères Duplantier ainsi que leurs acolytes!
Better and better every year. Every time I need to motivate myself to get better, I watch your drum solos or listen to Gojira. One of the best drummers of all time, and especially of the modern era. Thank you for sharing your lovely solos with the world. Also fun fact: you’ve all watched this at least twice
Thank you all for tuning in 🙏
Vraiment génial! ❤
Cheers Mario, incredible drum solo indeed!
We love you bro.
You’re my favourite drummer Mario
Excellent comme chaque année !!!
2:02 Pick it up, Neiman!.....FASTER!
Whiplash ❤
Not my tempo
Mario's solos always go from:
"yo, this is awesome! I bet I can do this part"
To: ".....holy shit."
The perfect example of this is 1:55
So true lol
Was going to comment the same lol. Plus how the solos are so different from one another.
... within a few seconds, in my case...
the difference is that this one went from 10-100 in the space of 0.03 seconds
I could listen to a whole album of mario just jamming on the drums no vocals no guitar just pure drums. You are an absolutely unreal drummer
In a few years you’ll be able to whip up an album
@@shanerogers3869ai wishes it could recreate mario
Holy shit man SOO groovy 🤤
Bro I'm just now watching this and was thinking, "I wonder if Samus will react to this??" 😆
I like your videos!
I don't care what anyone says, this is art.
Who's gonna argue? Drumming is an artform. One of the oldest ones around.
Art of dyinnggggg🤘
@@damo8615 🤘🤘
And who tf said it isn’t?
No shit.
The best modern Metal drummer we have right now. This guy has it all! Power, Musicality, Passion…. Love it!
@@kockarSO what's that?
Him and Eloy. 👌🏻
Mario is a beast… and you Mister are too 🤘🏻
I think Thomas Hakke is 1 but this dude is sick. Hakke is in his 50's
AUHOOOOUUUUUUUUU
I wish modern albums would have this clear and rich, dynamic drum/cimbal sound. That ride....
underrated comment.
Yes, but It's expensive
@@ptakleo why?

I’m impressed how each of your drum solos are so unique from each other. The way you play is absolutely genius.
nice cymbal work
"Applying Rudiments to the Kit Lesson 2"
And doing it wonderfully
That’s kind of what I thought too but sometimes you just want to hear some heavy shit like this
Escutar ele é muito bom pra estudar! ❤😮

Well said. Creative . He's got a unique style approach
Mario is arguably the most creative drummer ever.
He's creative, for sure...but most creative ever?! You haven't heard many other drummers. @@Cybothron
@@Stoovey24 I'm not sure how to even quantify creativiness but in terms of creating patterns I've never heard before Mario Duplantier is at the top of the mountain right now.
Same. His inclusion of double strokes is a nice touch too.
How does one hit THAT hard but still look so fluid. Freak of nature, so glad i’ve seen him live
He is a force of nature on stage, I'd die of a heart attack after 2 or 3 songs trying to hit that hard.
Look at that aggression.. They have been cooking something super heavy lately
Let them cook!!
The part that starts at 0:52 sounds to me like something that could be implemented in one of the new songs from their upcoming album. For some reason it just feels right to imagine Joe playing some heavy riff when the double kicks joins.
sounds like into the storm almost@@jez_77
Perhaps, the heaviest matter of the universe
Hopefully !
My 1-year-old for whatever reason really loves watching drummint videos, so thanks for making this!
Watching videos is not good for a 1 year old, listening is much better.
Flawless as the ocean, fluent as a river, timing as a clock, perfect precision.
Mario is just a beast on drums, groovy and heavy combination in his rhythms. 🥁
Ditto.
I don’t know which is more amazing- the technique, the grooves, or just the drum tones! Unreal
for real, those tones got me locked in like a hunting dog
Yeah how was he even miking the kit, it sounded crystal clear
Me again… what was that ending!?!?!? Goddamnit, a blast beat using the rack tom?!?! Insane!
Alex pelletier invented that. Another ridiculous drummer. But Mario is the best
I THOUGHT DREAM THEATER'S DRUMMERS ARE THE BEST UNTIL I SEE THIS PASSIONATE AND VERY POWERFUL DRUMMING...
Le plus grand batteur de métal moderne nous a gratifiés d'un nouveau solo de batterie. Aujourd'hui est un jour incroyable! Im not french, but I'm trying to learn it. It might be a little rough. Thank you, Mario.
Your french is really good 👌
Ton français est très bon. where are you from?
your french is perfect, don't worry. i'm agree that this day is a great day
@@kirethmetalion702 Vraiment ? Je vous remercie! Vous êtes très aimable.
Your french is REALLY better than most of french people
0:47 this fill butters my bread thoroughly
Mario you’re the greatest drummer ever!!! cannot wait to hear your new Solo 🔥
Mal poso espera para ouvir o novo álbum
What do you mean with new solo? This was it! I mean... this a drum solo! 🤔🤨🧐
@@Michael_Michaelshe wrote this before the video went public. It was a premiere.
@@Michael_Michaelsthat’s what I mean, i was tuned in whilst waiting for this to go live 😅
Danny Carey disagrees
Awesome licks!
THIS IS why he is one of the best drummers out there!!!!! No one else can do a drum solo like him!!!!!
I'm one of the drummers too
I don't think i've ever seen a better 'flowing' drummer..especially with that clarity, power and precision.
I have been a fan of yours for years, and this solo once again proves that you are one of the most creative, powerful and unique drummers today.
I have the most admiration towards the way you have put in the work and are expressing yourself through this beautiful instrument. Bravo Mario ! 😊🙏🏼
I am an absolute beginner at drums and watching this video made me go for it all in. Awesome playing.
De la frappe, tu est INCROYABLE !!! MERCI MARIO !!
These drum solos perfectly illustrates a battle with a fierce beast in the woods, at least in my head.
Dude, that was WOW. I think this is now my favourite drum solo you've done, after that it's the Movement solo which was absolutely bonkers.
Excellent content!
The Art Of Drums.
🤘🏻
No1 Metal drummer at this moment... Merci Mario for your uniqueness and exquisite taste in drumming. You've reshaped the metal scene!
Criminally underrated.
Will go down as the best solo of 2024.
Hands down! ❤️
I hope you keep doing this every year till i die. This is a highlight of the year.
This might be one of the clearest and best drum sounds I've ever heard
I've played drums for over 50 years. Mario is very quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite drummers. His patterns and cymbal work are just brilliant! Thanks for posting this! I've already listened to it roughly a hundred times!! 😅
That bit starting at 1:26 is absolutely mindbending :O
My wife didn’t fully understand my excitement this morning, more so didn’t understand how I couldn’t contain myself when this came over. They’ve had such a huge impact on my life recently it’s hard to not get super excited about.
I just started playing drums 3 days ago and this motivates me beyond expression. Well done.
This is what we love about Mario. He always plays with emotions and flow
The 1:00 mark groove is insane!!!!! The whole thing is of course unreal. I love these videos and Gojira!!!
I keep relistening to this groove. Please put this into a song!!!
You are one of my favorite drummers. Just saw you few months ago in North Carolina. 🤘
1:34 - 1:50 what an absolutely insane sequence
Mario, étant moi même batteur ,je trouve ton style très originale et hors du commun, tu ne fais pas ce que font tous les autres grands drummer, tu es un créateur, un style propre à toi, ta batterie chante notamment cette vieille TAMA, en repique que des overheads et le son est superbe, tes solos sont toujours un plaisir à écouter ,à différence des autres qui veulent toujours surplomber en débit bass drum où tous les solos se ressemblent,, toi tu joues, ta batterie sonne, chante et c'est ton jeu, bravo.
I want that giant goofy trash cymbal thing.
Mais quel style à la batterie!😍👍vivement la tournée 2025🤘
Mario Dupliantier and Dave Lombardo will forever be my favorite drummers for their spontaneity around the kit.
Mario's drum solo's are one of the few things that still make me feel emotions
Who here after the olympics?
One of the most unique drummers of all time, thank you Mario for this stunning performance!!
Nice brings me back to highschool band class jamming this with a Sax player great times!!!
It never gets old hearing super mario annually release, keep 'em coming! 🤯
Perfect way to start the day - like a cup of coffee for the senses
Brutal!!! 🔥🔥🔥
0:53 this part is GOLD.! Il faut ça dans un morceau !
his man posts once a year
and never disappoint us!!
Dude! You actually beat those drums to within an inch of their lives! I have always been that way myself. But bro.... love ye man... mean it!
This is simply unbelievable. It’s tempting to chalk these sorts of musical feats up to some Faustian bargain; but, that is a complete attack on this man’s years of dedication. The skill that Mario has is incredible. A once an era happening.
I just seen you guys open up for korn at pine knob in Detroit, Michigan.
I'm a forever gojira fan now 😎
May have been the best performance of any concert I've ever been to!
Being a drummer myself, I was in total awe watching you play such fast, intense drum parts flawlessly meanwhile headbanging your entire way through it 🤘
The entire bands energy and passion for the music during the performance was amazing to watch.
Hoping to see you guys back in the area next summer 🤞
Definitely among the most unique and creative drummers around.
Mario! You are so musical! You are so helpful in teaching my students the reason why they should practice their rudiments! Also, your solo's are full of creative linear drills! Can I assume that many of your solo's are born out of your practice sessions? Love your musicality soloing concepts and phrasing! There are very few drummers who I enjoy listening to solo and you are at the top of the list! Bravo!!
That was one of the most musical drum solos I’ve ever heard. I could basically hear a song there.
Daniel Erlandsson! There are lots amazing musicians throughout history. We are living in an amazing time and no better application of technology because great music and musicians brings us all together😊
Every year I look forward to these and I'm always blown away! 🔥🔥🔥
That was sick nasty! Love it!
The GOAT is back in action!!!! Hope you enjoyed the month break !!! All love Mario!!! Masterpiece!!!
It's been almost 10 years since I've found a new favorite drummer.. that changed today with the rabbit hole I've gone down that is Mario Duplantier
Makes me anxious for new material. You are a machine dear Mario, my respect and love for you always 🖤
OMG I never heard anything like this in my lifetime. Wow ❤❤❤ Thank you
Incredible. Looks like youre painting a canvas. You are amazing and a gift to metal fans around the globe. Please do not stop creating
You guys have saved me from suicide when life was at its worst. Thankyou Mario,Christian,Jean and Joe, i love you guys so much! I have a Gojira logo that takes up the entire back of my car
Trop fort ce Mario !!
Il met tout le monde à l'amende. C'est une machine !!
Ravi d'entendre les fûts de Mario Duplantier avec enfin un son et pas "ploc ploc" ... !!!! et BRAVO pour ce solo !
always an instant click, when you upload a new drumsolo. insane stuff!
My eyeballs froze and my mouth is dry now from hanging open. Lol
Man. Mario is the most artisitc drummer around. He's highly unique and an absolute surgeon on the set. Incredible! ❤️
Franchement ça déchire !! en tant que batteur de jazz, je suis très impressionné Mario !! Félicitations ! Et vive le sud ouest :) !
Makes it look so easy. The best always do... thanks for bringing light into this world brother
Waking up to see that another Mario solo has been released is like waking up on Christmas morning >.< this one is absolutely mindblowing!
I've been waiting for this moment greetings from Brazil 😊
Skills 💯
Energy 💯
Passion 💯
Respect 💯
I can’t make the determination of who is the greatest drummer on the planet, nobody can, but Mario is one of the contenders for sure.
Sir! I felt that in my core! I was hypnotized! 🤩🤩
It handles it as calmly as possible, effortlessly, smoothly and it sounds sooo great
What a thunderous drum solo 🔥🤘Absolutely amazing 👏🏻
To Mr. Duplantier, not only have you revealed drumming secrets like a magician, you have now helped change the coarse of history for musicians.
Great solo! 💪🦾
That snare is so crispy...
Hell yeah! We need more of these inspirational videos.
I rise to the sky while listening. Wonderful🙏
Definitely the best of your solo videos. Also, the producer nailed that album-ready Gojira drum sound!
Simply the best. As always 🤘
I came here through Maurício Weimar's UA-cam channel. Really awesome, dude! Congratulations!
So awesome he puts videos like these out for us to appreciate
Un solo de batterie qui raconte une histoire qui fait voyager. la grande classe !!
Always a highlight of the year seeing these! Rock on brother!
Heavy weight Mario.. Always delivers.. So musical and brutal! An absolute amazing combo.. Thank you!
Mario is definitely a force of nature. It's SO BEAUTIFUL to see him playing! It's so awesome to say the least! Thanks for your incredible work, as always 💖
What a damn inspiration. Makes me want to learn drums.
Woaw, j'étais sur le cul ! Un de tes meilleurs solo !
Quel travail de dingue ça doit être, pour en arriver à sortir des solo aussi magistraux... C'est simplement phénoménal.
