  This guys chill mode is most peoples god mode. When this guy goes into god mode, I'm not sure an octopus could drum faster and cleaner.

  Ive been playing drums and studying music since i was in 8th grade, now I'm 28. I just wanted to provide a little insight. This man is a robot. He takes rather simple techniques and rudiments but completely reinvents the way they are implemented and utilized in his playing style. Those single hand rolls hes doing on the floor tom during the verses are called gravity blasts. And they are not necessarily easy but with enough practice and focus, they are a popularly used tool for experienced drummers. Quick note, if you notice he actually adds a gravity blast with his left hand on the snare too at the same time hes doing a gravity blast with his right hand on the tom. His rim work is phenomenal. He also adds a sly little rim shot at the end of his double stroke rolls going into the verses. And to top it off, all of his play with syncopation is absolutely spot on. He is just an absolutely amazing drummer that practices endlessly and has so much focus and love for his craft. He deserves so much more recogniztion and respect

  He's self-taught, and his name is Jorge Garrido.  Dropped out of his university (he tells that story) to play gig bands.  When he left that, he began practicing a lot more and making videos about his progress.  He then auditioned for a popular Spanish metal band, Saratoga, and became its drummer for about 3 years, I believe.  His social media videos became wildly popular in 2023, so he left Saratoga on good terms to focus on building his online community.  He's now the #3 most subscribed drum-focused channel on YouTube, recently passing Casey Cooper.

  El Estepario is for me the best drummer to have ever lived, he is way beyond anything else, mesmerising.

  El Estepario is an absolute mad lad. His limb separation is otherworldly. At the chorus he's got the double drumsticks on that cymbal, he's playing a different beat on the snares and hi-hat, got one foot on the hi-hat and another foot on the single-double bass and you could still calibrate an atomic clock on this guy. He's like an octopus with an autonomous nervous system per limb or some shit. Dude's wild.

  Anybody can be impressed by notes played per minute on something like drums or guitar, but I love watching for the musicians when they can appreciate talent and creativity in playing like this. He is super impressive and creative with every choice he makes, but not overplaying anything or taking away from the song. It&apos;s artistry.

  He&apos;s essentially changing the way drummers approach and play their kits. &nbsp;Technical, original, creative, precise, clean. &nbsp;He&apos;s also fun AF to watch.
