this is what mastery of an instrument looks like. THE top metal drummer. Feel, groove, technicality, speed, everything in one package. This man shits on a good portion of metal drummers.

Stability, power, speed and dynamic. This is just pure eargasm

Favorite drummer in any genre of metal, maybe any genre period. While many metal drummers are great from a technical perspective, they lack the little nuances that he has. Dude is just insanely talented.

Mario Duplantier is Dynamically one baddass drummer!

Ce mec est un génie.

Practice. A lot

So much control in his speed....

I love Mario's drumming. He has TONS of groove. This solo isn't the piss break that about 95% of all drum solos are, its a song in and of itself that rewards you for listening to it.

He starts a bit slow, but later on he really gets in the groove man! If you ask me, he's the best drummer in the world :3

Mario is practicing something, listen to the two parts he plays at the end, one after another, and later combining the two. If you listen carefully you can hear him combining the two, getting it into his system, playing it, mastering it and speeding it up. These drumparts are absolute gems!

No other metal drummer has Mario's groove.

Tyler Rivard Yup, noticed that too. Except on high hat instead of the toms.

One of my favorite drummer. So heavy, yet retains a groove.

I appreciate the motif development. paradiddle to that GROOOVY beat. They certainly don't cut metal drummers out of that wood very often.

Saw these guys in Atlanta this week, and they killed it. Mario is hugely underrated.

This is an amazing performance from a metal-drummer. Dat groove!

He's got great hands and a great sound.

such a distinctive and unique sound. very cool.

Jolie intro en Triple paradiddle avec Gc tout les 3 coups ! Beaucoup de paradiddle et de double paradiddle ! Top Mario !

one of the most creative, imaginative and f*cking broooootal drummers ever.

I love this kinda solo drum

Love his snare sound :)

Sensacional baterista.

"Hybrid" 13 Steps To Nowhere (Pantera) at 1:39! Awesome!

great cymbal shot at 2:56!!

Exactly what I though. Fact is Gojira list Pantera as one of their influences. No so surprising. Mario is a god.

mario can transform everything in a solo.

true masters make it look like a solo

1:40 sounds like the intro to 'Pantera - 13 Steps to Nowhere'

Came here from the GGA's... I"m a gtr player, so only know how to buy drummers beer, BUT damn, THAT was bad F;ing axxx. Sick as hell and couldn't stop thinking of riffs that would go good over that!!! (That someone else would play of course) Peace

The one at the brixton accademy gets a lot of hype, but this solo is leagues ahead.

...hmmm sounds like me a couple years ago. I played FANTASTIC bass, and everyone said they loved me...then I found out that shredding wasn't the only thing. I eventually evolved into composing complex music with intense artistic nuances and time signatures that would blow you're mind, and yet I (the bass) would only probably hit five notes in an entire song.

"Faites du bruit pour Mario à la batterie s'vous PLAAAAÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎT" ça me fume à chaque fois !!! xD

Paradidles, Very good.

This dudes fn sick!

With a username like drummerbadass1 you MUST be the man.

Je suis bien d'accord avec toi, sur la fin d'In The Wilderness, Mario se surpasse et démonte tout! C'est d'ailleurs bien dommage qu'ils ne le jouent pas en live, ça serait génial!

My brain hurts, so much technicality \m/

What I'm trying to say is that instrumental virtuoso isn't 100% technical and shred based, and that Mario's drumming has so much in it that I can't describe how impossibly divinely talented he is (especially in this vid.). My friend plays drums like a pro and shreds the shit out of his kit, yet he admits that he's only kind-of good...when I showed him this guy (and Tomas Haake) he admitted that he would kill to be able to play that.

@EllisDeeRules It's not the cameramens' fault, it's the editor who did it

i love mario thats all i gotta say

For some reason, this solo sounds (at least to me) like a weird mix of Vinnie Paul and Iggor Cavalera. And that is a good thing.

Super tasty!!....... Different from all those boring metal drummers!!!! This guy is awesome!

1:56 born for one thing right before the last breakdown

kollias just makes different music. it's just that everytime you see his foot technique your jaw drops on the floor immediately. mario's way more groove orientated.

i like that there are no dislikes

Well,enjoy your opinion on the matter.I personally enjoy what Mario does.

What is that 1st groove? It kind of sounds like triple paradiddles on top of a 1/4th note triplet on the kick, but it's hard to make it out.

+Suresh Gaur Hey dude... I believe it is a wood snare.. Tama? Has a nice richness to it, with a hefty pop... regardless, keep the resonant head (bottom) tight, so that you can barely depress it. To get good tone, that needs to be in very good tune. If say your snare has 8 lugs, on the batter side, get the head finger tight and tighten until there are no wrinkles.. Then, with the top 4 lugs, Tune the with a good 2-3 good turns.. Then, you can use the bottom 4 lugs as your pitch/tone. You won't ever need to mess with your top 4 lugs, Just keep them to a medium-high tension.. Then say, if one day, you want a higher pitch, tighten them... Lower, looser them.. It makes for a beautiful experience :D ... Hope that helped?

True, but he is so musical that he can make it sound great with feel and dynamic

@mewv exactly bro...same here...!!

I thing The Art of Dying (Live at Vieilles Charrues Festival 2010) is a better example ;) Simply GREAT!

i like you. subscribed!!!!

1:55 sounds a lot like "ticks and leeches" from Tool

Sounds like ticks and leaches by tool

you dont need to watch the solo watch their live songs. That will show you how powerful he is behind the kit.

c'est du lourd ! Et de la finesse ! Bref c'est balèze, ya tout, bravo. fuk

para fucking diddle. Always awesome :D

Tight Paradiddles!!

@jiltednut I heard it too. think I also heard Sandblasted Skin from Pantera too. haha

non pendantic drum solo, such a rare thing!

oh thank goodness i thought i was the only one

Do you really think i don't know that song? i have the whole discography of Pantera! they're one of my favorite bands!

From 1:38 on, is that the intro to 13 Steps To Nowhere by Pantera?

The way I play it is RlrlrrLrlrlR looped over a unison hi-hat and kick drum 1/4th note. Mario is doing a double paradiddle it sounds like.

from 2:19 it sounds like the drum intro to 13 steps to nowhere by pantera

That 13 Steps to Nowhere

@masteropuppetz66 Yeah, he isn't in the league for George Kollias or anything, but I just like it that he doesn't always just go fast, but he plays other musical genres through his metal too. This is just my opinion; I just like the music he comes up with. It's hard to judge "the best drummer in the world". If a drummer plays wicked fast, it doesn't necessarily means it sounds good (not that I think George Kollias' music doesn't sound good :D)

check out 13 steps to nowhere

au début, le rythme de grosse caisse est la meme que celle sur "low lands" ;)

Ahh the accented ghost notes

I couldn't hear Ticks & Leeches, but tell me which section you think it's from. Definitely 13 Steps...even rocks the batting gloves like Vinnie!

yeah i know! i just wanted to be a bit more original than the others...

Anyone else get reminded of Ticks & Leeches (Tool song) with the lick from around 1:55 - 2:20?

First one reminds me of Ticks and Leeches

need to hear 13 steps to nowhere with the groove at 1:38

1:37 sounds almost identical to the intro of '13 steps' from Pantera. Not a bad thing, just an observation. :D

HAHA FUCK YEAH MAN.

1:37 13 STEPS TO NOWHERE.

The part where he comes back in at about 1:40 sounds just like 13 steps to nowhere.

great solo messi but you still dont have a World Cup

Not fond of Portnoy personally,but Mangini does some good work.With drummers there is no league except for what they set themselves around,Nither of the 2 you mention are anything like Mario,the only drummer that would share similarities is Thomas Haake

ok what bands do you like?
