I think it's super important to show the process of learning a piece and getting better. There are so many artists that won't show you how they get there, only the polished product, and only being exposed to end results can set unrealistic expectations to people learning an instrument. Epic as always; love seeing you learn!
It's crazy how much content material El Estepario is spitting out for other content creators.. Most of them are lame reaction videos but your videos have are productive and has meaning. Thanks for showing the progress.
Fantastic work!!! Showing the process is amazing, and really helps me appreciate how much the rudiments play into breaking it all down to digestible parts.
I've watched a lot of your videos, and they're fun, informative and inspiring. BUT THIS ONE.... whole other level. This should inspire anyone to accomplish their goals... Many thanks and keep doing what you do. I wish people would make more use of my channel... hey ho Nice one Eric
I am always mind-bent watching a good drummer do his thang I am a singer, piano guy. I have had to learn some tricky piano/vocal songs and did it by playing it OVER AND OVER FOR TWO DAYS. One is US3’s Cantalupe(flip fantasia). It sounds pretty straight forward but required me to chop my brain up and melt it back together. This drum groove is clearly for VERY GOOD DRUMMERS! You are very impressive
Epic Eric. Now can say officially say you’re a drummer and not only a percussionist. You are a true all rounder talented EVERYTHING! Keep inspiring people to do their best. Thank you for showing us the progression too. Not just the polished product. 😊
Step is maybe the best drummer in the world. He is to me, anyway. But this? This was amazing. The highest honor I can give you is subscribed with notifications on.
Good job! Take a look at thee side-by-side part and look at your right arms. Notice how relaxed his is while yours is very cramped. I'm sure you'll get the feeling pretty fast!
Funny how an experienced drummer can look like a noob. But the the experience kicks in and allows you to play it, while a noob would just be struggling forever.
Hey there, just a friendly thing to say. Do not think because you can't do any of these insane things, or don't see yourself doing them in a near future, just be aware that El Estrpario must have around 20, if not more years of experience and practice, i myself am a drummer, and i consider that this guy is a absolute MACHINE, but it's because he worked hard for it, yes. Talent and the own capability of the brain to register and do all of this insane tricks counts, but it's also how many hours you've practiced, my teacher always tells me to do so. To always practice in the snare (which i sometimes forget) but when i do i see results, even if i'm playing an actual set or song, the normal person takes around 5 or more years to learn (to some level of expertee) a instrument, and then you can go and add your own stuff, talent is something that yes, some people are born with, but it isn't a limitator for other people to not try, try and seek guidance from any teacher, most of them can do crazy stuff on their own, and that everyone in here is different, you maybe excel at other stuff, like drawings, music, writting, it all just deppends if you like what you're doing or not (As a sidenote, please excuse my grammar, and the other ortografic errors i (will) have, i don't think this comment will reach out to many people, but if you are reading this to the end (or skipped most of it, please read) just take my word, you could ask him, or any other drummer by the fact, and they will tell you the same.)
EMC, I challenge you to play Jeff Porcaro’s Rosanna Shuffle and play it 100% PERFECTLY. I remember reading a Modern Drummer article in the early 2000s that rated it the hardest groove to play with zero mistakes, exactly the way Jeff played it. There’s even a video still on UA-cam where Jeff breaks the groove down step by step, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Make a video of that!
I think the Bozzio stuff is much more complex. The ostinato patterns are more complex and he actually learns how to improvise over the base pattern. I dig the video. It's awesome all the scary talent on UA-cam these days.
That was awesome. Your jail sentence is complete. YOU da Man! The other guy needs to go to jail for impostoring you as you are the best and better than he.
Try some of Thomas Lang's independent stuff, who's actually one of El Estepario's influences, and most likely the inspiration behind some these ideas of his.
If i had something that recorded my notations and put it on paper/screen for me, as i played, that'd be amazing... Does it exist? And how accurate is it? I dont read notation. I dont write notation. I just play. 😅
Yoni Madar just posted "the most complicated exercise I've created so far." Basically, the foot (bass drum) plays "Apple Pie" (1-2-3-rest/repeat) throughout. The left hand (snare- Yoni plays this as a rim click) plays "Apple Pie" (1-2-3-rest/repeat) twice, then adds a 16th rest to make after the second measure to make it "Strawberry" (1-rest-3-4/repeat), and adds a rest again to make it a check pattern culminating in an extra full beat (17 quarter notes) then repeats. The right hand then adds the hi-hat, which plays (1-2-3-4-rest/repeat) which is 5 over 4. There is a hi-hat "bark" on beat four, closing on beat 1.
OOPS! Almost forgot my post: This is video #162 of requesting Eric to do another "Behind the Gock Block" Episode. -=-=-=-=-=-= #162 -=-=-=-=-=-=-= The last episode was 10-20-2020! It's time for Eric to bring back all of his characters!

Estepario has a lot of drum courses on Drumeo
Exactly! I loved this video (first video I watched on this channel), and it made me more confident with how I practice and learn new songs.
Well said.
What do you mean I won't be able to shred on the electric guitar in 48h?
5:47 rare drummer rage by emc
I have never identified with a UA-cam drummer as much as I did in that moment.
Ah yes...the patent pending Thomas Pridgen outburst. My favorite!
Great, now I wanna see estepario try some marching percussion
He could probably crush it, bro has unbelievable chops
@@RADZADproductions With his dedication to practicing, I have no doubt he would be a beast if he wanted to give it a try.
He could and would absolutely slay it. Don’t take away from the accomplishments of a master.
There is great hubris in a drumming tradition that dies once you turn 21 and that requires you prance around like a fairy while you are doing it ...
@@hasush ? Do you not like marching percussion? It’s fun dude
It's crazy how much content material El Estepario is spitting out for other content creators.. Most of them are lame reaction videos but your videos have are productive and has meaning. Thanks for showing the progress.
Yeah, this is why you're the best percussionist on the platform. No clickbait needed!
2:54 “See, it’s good to know your rudiments kids!” EMC best quotes
I'm genuinely impressed. It's actually a lot of fun watching you get that much better as a musician and a drummer.
Your get out of jail free card should be in the mail.
Fantastic work!!! Showing the process is amazing, and really helps me appreciate how much the rudiments play into breaking it all down to digestible parts.
I like how Eric memes about his skill, when he's still one of the best drummers in the world.
But he plays DRUMS, not drums.
@@ferretyluvwhat is that supposed to mean
@@Victo-3r It’s a joke on his channel. Look at the shirts he has available.
@@ferretyluv oh ok
@@Victo-3rdumbass
Your sight reading is insane. You crushed this.
You work ethic rocks! Thank you for setting a good example.
I've watched a lot of your videos, and they're fun, informative and inspiring.

This should inspire anyone to accomplish their goals...
Many thanks and keep doing what you do. I wish people would make more use of my channel... hey ho
Nice one Eric

i felt that
Wel all went through this at multiple points in our drummer's life 😁
Ive been at this point for almost 40 years lol
@@UltimateByte pretty much whenever im learning something new LMFAO
And that's why you're here.
Can always tell when you're reeeeeally concentrating on counting and following the music when your head bobs like a chicken's:-D Well done, man.

I had to see it again! This is the greatest accomplishment ON youtube. Thank you Eric for showing us regular drummers how to get great😅
Cool, finally found a piece of music i cant play as good as any drumner can't.
You Sir are an amazing person. Thank you for entertaining us with this pro level playing. I wish you the best in life.
Very well played dude!!! From a fellow drummer (one who usually plays by ear).
Respect and admiration by the TRUCKload EMC! Keep me Notified, Friend
5:48 Jesus dude you scared the crap out of me. Great work though!
Haha...wow. New to the channel. That was so great. Loved it. Keep it up, man.
Step is maybe the best drummer in the world. He is to me, anyway. But this? This was amazing. The highest honor I can give you is subscribed with notifications on.
Genuinely inspiring
Absolutely out freaking standing sir! You’re an inspiration and I am grateful for you!
Nicely done! Your vocally counting is also adding another level to this "bizarre" practice! 🥁
He's a beast, you're a beast. Good stuff.
Most impressive video of yours! Keep doing these!
HEY YOU MARCHED YOUR AGE OUT YEAR WITH MY OPEN CLASS DRUM CORP BRASS HEAD CAPTION!!
5:47
When you hit your balls while drumming:
First time viewer first time at the channel, liked and subscribed. Bro.
Watching the process was the most rewarding part(s) of the video!
Hell yeah man. Good job.
That approach is the only way to go!
Good job! Take a look at thee side-by-side part and look at your right arms. Notice how relaxed his is while yours is very cramped. I'm sure you'll get the feeling pretty fast!
Good work man. You picked that up pretty quickly. What a cool groove. Part B seems to be there to throw off drummers.
got my subscribe good sir. GG. Really hope El Estepario can see this, and create an even more impressive grove to try.
Funny how an experienced drummer can look like a noob. But the the experience kicks in and allows you to play it, while a noob would just be struggling forever.
that was great man I like how you broke it up, that drop to 6/8 then back up again had to be tough sounded great
I love this video because it shows that no makes how good you are there's always more you can learn.
You got out of jail! Great job and very educational. Thanks for doing this video
Seeing both your guys’ feet moving in unison is so funny to me. I like to imagine there’s no throne and you’re doing this goofy dance
🤣 Now I cannot unsee this
It's like a weird funny dance move, and they are doing it in sync.
Three words: The Black Page. Two more words: Good Luck.
One word: Vinnie

Wow. Impressive. Well done. Super hard stuff.
Haha you two together playing this look like these Hawaiian Skirt Car Mirror hangers (legs). Amazing work :)
Impessive..... keep it up.... Esteparios is redefining drums at the moment 👏
105bpm, just sounded like a sweet spot. Felt that.

5 days well done...you are in the top 2 people who can do this
Hey dude! Ridiculous work as always
What kinda shoes are those??
came here to ask the same thing lol

Absolutely awesome!
Video 340 of asking for a Video of you playing exactly 69420 Notes
80 to go
haha,this is so genuine and humbleY funny!! Love it!! Subscibing!!
That's hella impressive. Well done dude
Dude, you're an absolute BEAST!
Take my like you piece of fantastic bloke!
I like the sound of it at 72bpm, it's like a rare groove breakdown.
Nice job. Put in the work get the result. Most people can't deal with the playing it slow even though muscle memory matters. Let's go
A lot of people know mathematics very well these days, but Newton was the one who invented it. Other than that you're amazing yourself. I'm impressed
This is fantastic! I'm sure they let you go.
VERY nice! Though, I was waiting for the end where you'd say, "Okay, I got it up to 135 bpm, and here's where I go even faster!"
Will you review that RCP pizza pad that you have in the background?
This guy checks every box for cliches that serious drumset players have about marching drummers.
I like that your kick actually sounds like a drum, not an electronic click!
bro's outta jail in three days
We need a collab between you two. Badly.
Awesome job man !
That was awesome. Your jail sentence is complete. YOU da Man! The other guy needs to go to jail for impostoring you as you are the best and better than he.

you got the feet ridiculously fast
Yo this videos is wild. Way to go.
That was pretty impressive. Looks like you’re dancing with all the foot action. Lol.
If i had something that recorded my notations and put it on paper/screen for me, as i played, that'd be amazing... Does it exist? And how accurate is it?
I dont read notation. I dont write notation.
I just play. 😅
This encouraged me to NEVER go to drum jail!
1 million likes!
Epic my guy, well done!
Excellent! Top stuff!
That was awesome to see you progress like that!!!!!!
Great work and great patience. Now, if you could just do the final trick with the stick, it will be complete.
And now only 34 more days to get every stroke to hit 100% in time.
THANK YOU! You made learning this seem possible...
Yea...good job..Really... Dammmmmitt.

BRUH! What a beast! Well done!
I think the next step up from this is Mike Mangini’s 3 layer polyrhythm drum practice.
That was great. Especially the side by side.
Honestly though, you went through the process so well I could play it, and I suck.
