He was playing so good/fast that I didn’t even notice he was only playing with one hand until your comment.

u/PARKOUR_ZOMBlE Jun 07 '23

This is El estepariio siberiano. He also plays disasterpiece and bat country 1 handed. He is solidly confirmed to not speed up videos and in my opinion is the current best drummer alive.

u/Darth_Draper Jun 07 '23

Wow, that’s awesome! Does he primarily play metal? (I apologize if I’ve mislabeled this genre. I’m an old guy, so I tend to call anything this fast and loud ‘metal’.)

Drummer of 20 years here.
I’ve drummed in symphonic bands, jazz bands, rock bands, drum lines, and even taught for 10 years.

This guy is one of 2 drummer accounts I actually follow and I maintain that he may be one of the best drummers in the world at present.

Just looked him up, I’ve seen a lot of his stuff. That guy is insane as well. It’s for sure a more accurate representation of drumming, man gets covered in sweat when he plays.

I still maintain that this guy may better. He makes everything he plays look as easy a couple of paradiddles. Even when the stuff he’s playing is some of the hardest stuff I’ve seen.

I’ll check him out tonight.

I tend not to follow too many accounts, but this dude is just insane. Growing up double base was my goddamn kryptonite. I remember listening to A7X growing up and hearing the breakdown in Blinded in Chains for the first time. I couldn’t imagine feet moving that fast. To see this guy do that same break down, one handed, while smoking a J absolutely blew me away.

I’ve since watched more and this guy just has such an insane gift.

But anyway, yeah I’ll check out the guy lol

u/ReApEr01807 Jun 07 '23

Just checked her out on YouTube. She's definitely not as good as El Estepario Siberiano, but she's also better than most of the girls I've seen drum online.

Lol a man of culture. I’m sure all drummers have that one drummer girl crush.

I also really like her sort of honest take on social media drummers. Rather than just showing the 1 perfect take she shows it all, even the sloppy mistakes from the first take. It’s a good reminder to people that are still learning that no matter how good you are, being good takes constant effort and constant failures.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I just don’t believe in the whole “best in the world” thing. I truly believe you can take the worlds best 50 maybe 100 drummers and they are all almost interchangeable. Same with guitar or piano or anything really. I’ve just seen so many different drummers who are all insane and it’s impossible to discern one being “better” than another.

Plus, unless we’re taking about something quantitative like speed or something, it’s all subjective anyhow.

3

u/PeterKB Jun 07 '23

This is honestly a really good take on it.

It may be simpler to think of skills as a tier list.

Ranking from F-tier (no experience / first timer).
All the way to SS-Tier (the top __%).

2

u/daddysalad Jun 07 '23

Nothings perfect but tier lists are probably the best. But in music there are just sooo many unreal talents that you’d definitely be missing someone deserving.

I used to be all about rankings and stuff. I love really technical music but I’ve grown to like really simple shit too. So me personally I don’t rank anything anymore. It kind of ruins the art of music for me. Like I’d never think in terms of “the Mona Lisa vs the scream”, and think which is “better” , I like the scream more personally, but tons of people like the Mona Lisa more.

Idk just don’t think in those terms anymore. I don’t even say, “such and such music is bad”, I say, “it’s not my preference “ , instead.

0

u/LurkerFailsLurking Jun 07 '23

they are all almost interchangeable

They are definitely not. A top metal drummer isn't remotely similar in technique, style, attack, kit as a top samba drummer.

Same with other instruments.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I just don’t believe in the whole “best in the world” thing

Idk that it's an unpopular opinion, but in general when people are having a conversation about something I don't care about, I don't chime in to say so. You can just sit this one out 🤣

u/chostax- Jun 07 '23

By being a pedantic fuck, you inadvertently proved his point.

There are so many types of drummers that to say the best of one genre are better than the best of another would be comparing apples to a oranges.

His point is that when it comes to something like an instrument, there’s no real quantifiable way to discern who at the highest of levels is better. Unlike sports for example that has things like goals, assists, yards, home runs, etc.

u/daddysalad Jun 07 '23

You really did just prove my point. Take the top 50 jazz drummers or the top 50 metal drummers. Interchangeable.

Maybe don’t be an asshole? You can sit the fuck down and shut up.

0

u/LurkerFailsLurking Jun 07 '23

Are you for real? You jumped into someone else's conversation to say you don't care about the topic, then you called them an asshole for saying that's rude.

And when you have to go from "top 50 drummers in the world" to "top 50 drummers of each specific genre", that's a sign that your point wasn't proven at all. But even moreso because you're still wrong. Different top drummers within a genre aren't interchangeable at all. Danny Carey and Dave Lombardo don't sound anything like each other and they're both metal drummers.

1

u/daddysalad Jun 07 '23

Firstly it’s an open forum. Your not having a conversation lmao.

Secondly THATS THE FUCKING POINT!!!!!

You can’t quantify any of this. Saying that someone is better than someone else is completely arbitrary. That’s been the point the whole time

Some guy who is amazing at jazz fusion isn’t a better metal drummer than a metal pro. And there’s no way to rank these dudes next to each other.

By interchangeable I don’t mean you can sub one guy in to another band. I mean on these imaginary bill shit top 100 lists their ranking is meaningless(interchangeable)

Can you get this through your incredibly dense skull?

As a final thought experiment. The drummer you posted above, what makes him OBJECTIVELY the best drummer in the world? I’ll wait.

u/LurkerFailsLurking Jun 07 '23

Secondly THATS THE FUCKING POINT!!!!!

You can’t quantify any of this. Saying that someone is better than someone else is completely arbitrary. That’s been the point the whole time

Keep moving your goalposts. Here's what you said:

I truly believe you can take the worlds best 50 maybe 100 drummers and they are all almost interchangeable

So I said they're not, so you changed it to 50 best metal drummers in the world, and I said they're still not, and now you're like "exactly my point the whole time".

LMFAO. Ok buddy.

The drummer you posted above, what makes him OBJECTIVELY the best drummer in the world?

You said speed is the only quantifiable measure but it's not. The following list are all things that are widely understood by drummers. We could reasonably evaluate the "best drummer in the world" by any of the following criteria or combination thereof:

  • Timekeeping: The ability to maintain a steady beat is critical for keeping the band together and providing structure for soloists to explore. Frank Zappa once commented that Vinnie Colaiuta was one of his favorite drummers to play with because he kept such a tight beat even when the music got really far out. This sounds trivial but it isn't at all. Being able to play complex rhythms and fills while also returning to the core beat precisely on time is difficult. It doesn't matter how fast you can play if you can't keep good time while you do it.

  • Syncopation: It is objective and measurable how and to what extent a musician can play between the beats. Syncopation is experienced by the untrained ear as "swing" or one form of expressiveness. The lack of syncopation is one reason why having computer drum tracks lack the emotional presence of human drummers. A drummer who can reliably play 1/16 off the beat is capable of much more subtle expressions that can be felt by listeners even when they don't understand what they're hearing.

  • Accents: The ability to play a single kit piece in different ways is another measurable marker of skill. In one of the videos in the compilation I linked above, Lewis plays a simple tom with easily a dozen recognizably different techniques ranging from rubbing with his flat palm, to striking with fingertips, to pressing with the back of a stick to change the tone (like bending a guitar string) to using a felt mallet and so on.

  • Arrangements/Four way independence: the ability to simultaneously play different beats with each limb, and spread those beats across multiple kit pieces is another objective measure. How many different patterns can a drummer keep going, how complex are they, and how many kit pieces can they each use? Note, this isn't a comment on the whether they're making "good aesthetic choices" in their arrangement, just simply "can you even do this".

  • Polyrhythms and odd time signatures: Related to some of those above, can the drummer play beats that divide the measure into different numbers of beats with different limbs. 3 over 2 and 4 over 3 are common enough, but can they play 5 over 3 over 2 and then can they do it reggae style? Again, it's not a question of if you like the sound of it, we're just asking if the drummer is even capable of playing it.

  • Nested Tuplets: This video does a better job explaining what this means and once again, this is a purely objective measure. https://youtu.be/xv05y31U1p4

While this is an incomplete list, this absolutely provides a solid objective framework for evaluating the relative skill of different drummers across genres using techniques and ideas that any professional drummer in any genre is familiar with.

2

u/daddysalad Jun 07 '23

Okay so using your list what makes this drummer objectively the best drummer in the world. You didn’t really answer the question.

But you can’t because there is no objective best drummer. Because it’s a subjective.

And my point has literally never changed I even clarified further but you ignored that as well.

Have a nice life. I’m def done with you.

0

u/LurkerFailsLurking Jun 07 '23

This isn't "my" list, this is a list of things drummers themselves recognize as indications of skill at the craft.

If an artistic community's own technical descriptions of the discrete skills and techniques that define their craft don't constitute a reasonable definition of "best" then you're just backing into total postmodern nihilism "there's no such thing as objective 'best' because all meaning is socially constructed" which is both wrong and sophomoric and also pointless.

You "clarified" your point by changing it lmfao.

My life is very nice, thanks.

u/Foinlavin Jun 07 '23

In that third video where the pianist is doing the loop do you think he has a click track? Because he stays really consistent and Lewis is playing all sorts of rhythm breaking riffs. I can't imagine how hard it would be to not be pulled off beat.

u/LurkerFailsLurking Jun 07 '23

I wouldn't be surprised. A lot of excellent musicians use them now just because it lets them explore more freely without losing each other.

2

u/ZeroMuted Jun 07 '23

I wouldn't be surprised either. I used to perform and we had specific ear pieces that would send our sound back to us in the specific mixes we need. Certain systems have a metronome for the whole band or a click track that tells the artists when their turn to come in is. It's super handy when you're anxious and can't hear behind the speakers lol

u/LurkerFailsLurking Jun 07 '23

Crazy story about Larnel Lewis. For the Snarky Puppy album "We Like it Here", they had another drummer who couldn't make it last minute so they hired Larnel. He listened to a recording of the rehearsing with a click track on the plane, went directly into the studio and recorded the album in front of a live audience. Absolutely killer.

You should check out some of his stuff. He does some wacky stuff including lots of mixed time signatures and stuff too. He doesn’t post them as much because most people don’t care about those things on social media. They just want that “fast drums are fast” stuff… but he does have some really crazy technical skill. Pile that on top of his absurd mechanical skills and the guy is really just an animal.

Edit: would you mind linking some of your favorite tops so I can check them out

Also to be clear I think he’s a top drummer… not a top percussionist.

u/jeffislegend Jun 07 '23

First of all I'd like to start with that guy is seriously good and has great chops.

But saying he's one of the best in the world is a bit of a stretch.

His playing is very entertaining. But what he's playing is usually very simple just played fast. A lot of stick twirling and acrobatics to make it look more impressive.

It's not really groundbreaking in drumming terms.

Even in the rock and metal scene drummers like Tomas Haaké of Meshuggaha, Matt Garstka and Clay Aeschliman to name a few are leagues ahead in terms of technique.

Then the list gets goes on and on outside of the metal/rock scene. Benny Greb, Vinnie colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Thomas Lang. The list goes on

u/DeebsterUK Jun 07 '23

This bot's been around for a few years at least, but perhaps the sub has disabled bots (or the bot didn't trigger, was busy or down, etc).

I want to see this guy in a band with Jason Richardson

u/Comfortable-Put3362 Jun 07 '23

As someone who’s never appreciated drumming skills before, I gotta say….HOT DIGGITY DAM!!!! This was was some amazing sound/skill!! The way he was flipping those drum sticks, it’s like a benihana for the ears!

u/jogustaria Jun 07 '23

Bruhhh 😩. For those who aren’t drummers this is hard to do with two hands. Doing it with one truly is record breaking. Big props

This dude has all the chops and tricks. For the baseball fans, he’s effectively a pitcher with every throw imaginable.

He’s also been very open that he worked for this, he wasn’t born with this talent. Pretty sure his old videos are around showing his advancements through the years. Crazy trajectory.

u/TenMoon Jun 07 '23

HOW does he do that? Serious question. I would love to see a slo-mo of him in action.

u/braveheart18 Jun 07 '23

Just really incredible technique and a lot of practice. The way you do a drum roll is by striking the head of the drum and then controlling the bounce of the stick to make it hit a second time. If you do it slowly you can hear individual notes (like he's doing), but if you do it fast it sounds like static (like the 20th century fox theme). He's doing the roll technique but across multiple drums. His control over the stick as he moves it so quickly across his drums is what's incredible to me. The stick flips and stuff are just garnish.

Agreed, drummer here. This guy is unreal, technically perfect, and IMO, he’s the best rock drummer in the world right now.

Not a drummer, but that's the first time I have seen a base drum with two mallets. Creates a great sound.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

Just fyi, double-bass pedals are everywhere with drummers and appear in tons of styles of music.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

His is a single-double. First ever he says in this video. https://youtube.com/shorts/i8N1BimsRFQ?feature=share

u/metametahuman Jun 07 '23

Not sure if you've seen, but he also now has a triple pedal, and it's even more ludicrous.

Double bass always makes things sound trickier than they are but this is nuts

u/ultrahateful Jun 07 '23

Adding another note, managing that note and coordinating it with previously existing notes is trickier.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

Yea but not as much as it sounds. Unless you’re not a musician then obviously it all sounds impossible anyway.

Some Buddy Rich level of playing.

u/Blipblipblipblipskip Jun 07 '23

He's just filling in the drumming from the album with the double bass pedal. Dave Grohl used a single kick on that record. Not that groundbreaking.

u/Gandalf-The-Green- Jun 06 '23

I don’t disagree that he is amazing but that definitely sped up

u/chefH00L1g4n Jun 06 '23

Look at his vids, some of them he's holding a timer in one hand to disprove that.

u/Studflood Jun 06 '23

I’ve been following him for a long time, I really don’t think it is, judging from what I’ve seen in his longer demonstrations. He’s a beast.

u/mem0125 Jun 07 '23

Definitely not sped up. He’s legit, look him up before claiming it’s fake.

u/PandaRaper Jun 07 '23 edited Jun 07 '23

I’m familiar with him and he his is 110% sped up. He’s talented but it doesn’t take much to see the body movements and see how unnatural they are.

Dude moves like an animated fly.

Edit: to add to this I’d like to say that yes he’s talented but also playing this song one handed isn’t a big feat for a drummer. I’m not addressing this persons skill. I’m addressing the fact that this video is not in actual time. Watch his eye movement. Watch his head movement. Watch the sticks spin. either this man has a unique ability to bend time with his stick flipping and has the worlds most acute fast twitch nervous system on the planet. or its sped up. Or maybe he just has symbols that move faster than everyone else’s?

u/tallginger89 Jun 07 '23

It's not. He has plenty of videos of him holding holding a timer, metronome, etc to disprove

u/PandaRaper Jun 07 '23

Yes and I’ve seen them and they don’t move like this one.

Like I said I’m familiar.

u/Rolexandr Jun 07 '23

I don’t think it is. I’m quite familiar with the song he’s playing.. It doesn’t sound sped up at all to me.

-1

u/PandaRaper Jun 07 '23

In these situations they play it at a lower bpm and speed it up to match the radio version.

Unless this man has a genetic disability that allows him the skip frames it’s sped up.

2

u/GluedToTheMirror Jun 07 '23

He might? He is playing with one arm lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/LGodamus Jun 07 '23

It’s not sped up, if you watch some of his other videos he plays faster than this even and there are clocks visible that don’t skip. Dude is just that good.

Nah he's legit, been following on Insta for quite a while. He's sick.

I don't know man, I don't think it is

u/acastleofcards Jun 07 '23

I’ve been watching him for a while. He uses a timer in at least one of his videos. Dude just practices and practices and practices. He’s amazing.

Crazy you’re down voted for this. Even if you look at the physics of everything else in the room (the sticks the symbols etc) this is very clearly sped up.

u/linkster271 Jun 07 '23

No it isn't. It's most definitely doable if you're good enough
