    Now I want to see the Vulfpeck drummer do a Sepultura track EDIT: Or maybe a Slipknot track?
  • @smjohnst
    I hate that he says he "ruined the song". I think this was one of the best one of these videos in the whole series. His take was so clean and still really funky and groovy. I thought he did an amazing job.
  • @yarrbraxas
    This guy is so humble and awesome. He's so nervous and worried about getting it right and at the end he says "Please don't send me any bad comments, I'm sorry, I ruined the song" and I'm sitting here thinking dude, you're the drummer of Sepultura. You did an awesome job with your interpretation and you play crazier shit on stage than I could ever dream of even imagining. Great job man, you didn't ruin anything.

    I had the opportunity to study drums with the master Alexandre Aposan at EMT in São Paulo, the same place where Eloy was also teaching. One day, me, Aposan and another student were talking between the classes, when we heard someone playing drums in another room. The other guy asked Aposan if it was Eloy and he simply replied “Nah… if it was Eloy, the building would be shaking”.
  • Dude came up with a 100% harder take on the song and really worked his ass off to make it right with a big smile in his face.
  • @joelblizzard160
    This guy is far too humble. He was right in the pocket for his entire final take. Probably one of the best of these I've seen.
  • @tycho_m
    Honestly, I don't know how anyone could watch this video and not instantly become a lifelong fan of Eloy Casagrande. Even if you don't like metal at all. What an exemplary human and exceptional musician!
  • @jeremystig98
    I'm a massive Vulfpeck fan and been a drummer for 14 years, and that was a good take in my opinion! Yeah he may have played too loud for the low volume funk that Vulfpeck is, but it was very groovy, the ride cymbal part he did was amazing, very creative and he didn't overplay it, no massive fills or double bass here. Kudos to him! I also used to play a lot of metal, so i know how different it is to Funk.
  • @CarGuy1807
    Its awesome how well he was able to adapt his style to a completely different genre.
  • Eloy is the real deal! People don't realize how well rounded he actually is. He transcended the "metal" stereotype a long long time ago, even though he loves to talk himself down but in reality there's not much he couldn't play with accuracy and authenticity. What an accomplished musician!
  • @kernicterus1233
    Gotta be honest, this is my favourite 'for the first time' vid. Hearing the snapshots of the learning process really supported the notion that 'the more you practice the better you get', his passion for not doing any disservice to the track was beautiful, and frankly Eloy, you did a magnificent job.
  • @HybridCult
    So did anyone notice that between the first take and final was only like half an hour... based on Brandon's phone. Eloy got that performance in under an hour.
  • @nqht8124
    A drumeo vid about vulfpeck is probably one of the least expected yet greatest Christmas gift ever
  • @Rythym4god
    Not gonna lie, that final take was pretty dang good. Great mix of groove and rock drive and power!
  • @tmcdowell5986
    Dude, there's nothing you need to apologize for. You made 11 minutes and 20 seconds of my day alot more enjoyable. Thank you.
  • @robertcroix
    Eloy Casagrande is such a humble dude while being an absolute killer on the drums. He played this track better than I've heard many drummers who actually know the song. Straight fire!
  • Incredible how he learned all those nuances in just a few takes, as a drummer myself I think this was the most difficult song I've seen on any of these "drumeo first time" series
  • @otherworldsnaps
    I'm not a drummer, but I absolutely love this series. It's cool to see how different it is for me, as a guitarist, to learn a song versus a drummer learning a song. Awesome!
  • @matcap2010
    This was probably the hardest challenge I've ever seen at Drumeo. Congratulations Eloy!
