Top Comments of this video!! :3
El Estepario Siberiano gets a lot of hate because he's not typical. He's the TikTok generation of drummer, and what people are completely overlooking is that he makes drumming look fun, to people that aren't drummers. Anyone that can do that, and help get drumming out there to more people, is amazing in my eyes.

I remember when he made that video talking about how talent was bullshit. People in the comments still disagreed. Washed up drum teachers were convincing people in the comments that music is one of those things that "either you've got it or you don't", and somehow completely missed the irony that if anyone doesn't have it, they're the ones that don't. It's a mindset issue. Estepario has been playing drums for a very long time, he started going all in on his YouTube career and his massive improvement arc while he was also on tour and playing with a band as a professional drummer. To say that he, or any other musician who's seemingly leagues above most everyone else, is talented and that they have a "gift", saying things like "I wish I could do that" is a huge slap in the face to all of the long hours spent behind the kit that he's spent. He says that in the video. Any time you wanna talk about how amazing a musician is, you could replace the word "talent" with the word "dedication" and you'd be so much closer to the truth. Talent is an excuse. He's not talented, he's dedicated. His skill isn't something that was given to him, it's something that he earned through hard work and determination. Blaming it on talent is just lazy and it's an easy way to accept that you're right, you won't ever be that good. Not with that mindset.
Not only is it harmful to the individual, but for guys like these drum teachers, that's horribly harmful to their students as well, and maybe that's where I get angry about it. Imagine the next Buddy Rich put down the sticks because his drum teacher said he should find a job instead of telling him to work harder.

Aside from his drumming mastery, his blatant honesty is what wins me over every time. I feel like there's more dishonesty than ever in this world, and it's great to see someone who does not BS at all when he opens his mouth... In terms of drummers, I remember guys like Buddy Rich claiming they don't practice and only play when it's time to perform. Clearly he was lying, but it was just overall disrespectful and showed how he only cared about himself.

There is an interview of - I believe it is Dennis Chambers- talking about Estepario. He has the following conclusion: Estepario is revolutionizing this instrument. Call it cheating or whatever you like - but his suprime limb independence, creativity and technique are showing us new ways to develop rhythm and groove in this beautiful instrument.

There's a couple of facts about Estepario that anyone interested on what he does should know, the way I see it. First, how hard he works, nobody wanting to climb to the top can avoid long hours or practicing, especially in the formative years, until the extraordinary becomes normal for the student. Second, he draws from a wide diversity of styles and drummers, although that is not evident on his videos, that mainly focus on rock, which is an easy style, rhythmically speaking; guy explores reggae and salsa, which are more complex rhythms, with the same proficiency. Finally, he's very keen on technical innovations, he adopts technological advances very quickly, practices on them until he reaches mastery. Of course there's more to his awesomeness than these simple facts, that's just what I see that stands out
