El Estepario Siberiano’s Impossible Drum Challenge
Drumeo’s Brandon Toews is usually the one putting drummers to the test… but today, he’s the one in the hot seat.
El Estepario Siberiano has issued a brutal challenge: learn the hardest independence exercises from his Advanced Independence course on Drumeo — in just two hours. No shortcuts. No excuses.
To make things even more intense, El Estepario will be calling in to hear Brandon perform it… perfectly.
Will Brandon crack the code in time? Or will this exercise be too much to handle? Tune in to find out!

No bongos were harmed in the making of this video (okay, maybe one). Do you want to take the Independence Challenge? Step 1) Start a free week here: https://www.Drumeo.com/trial-yt ; Step 2) Search "Estepario Advanced Independence" ; Step 3) Struggle like Brandon

This is the equivalent of learning how to use all your limbs for the first time.

9:58 "We'll see if he's home from the gym yet." Please let me live in a world where Anatoly is just Estepario dressed up as a janitor.

The Independence course is great. But it takes me 2 or 3 weeks to get through every week. And a LOT more than 10 mins a day.

Estepario is so encouraging and gracious. He’s so humble. Brandon getting that in under 2 hours is pretty insane. Proof of how good he really is
@hysteria008

The restraint from El Estepario to not say 'not quite my tempo' at Brandon's final performance, is as impressive as the drumming itself!
@travisviola
March 28, 2026 at 12:48 am
Brandon doesnt get enough credit, usually hes hosting/talking people through a song yaddah yaddah, but the handful of times ive seen him behind the drums he kills it, well done brandon!

Brandon that was amazing, the progress you made in 2 hours is almost prodigy like, dont even doubt yourself for a second. Id still be on the first part for many more hours. id give you a ten too.

Estapario is a beast and an inspiration to us all…. well at least those of us who arnt immediately too intimidated to try, that being said he is pretty intimidating in his speed and performance
@TheShillongHarleyRider
March 28, 2026 at 12:48 am
Haahh???It didnt sound ANYTHING like the one played by Estepario😂😂😂😂😂

I want to see anyone learn the beginning of Triad by Tool. 2 polyrhythms in an odd time signature. Total separation in upper body and lower body
@tactrix1h

I agree with him, that was incredible in just 1:50min.
@seansmithline6427

Would really like to see you guys find a song he doesn't know to see what he can come up with.
@Vulcanerd
March 28, 2026 at 12:48 am
El Estepario's new song, "Bongos and Bongos and Bongos!"
@Vulcanerd

We need more videos where Brandon is tortured.

Still waiting for the "Estepario hears a song for the first time" challenge to come out
@pinoyknowledge8589

This proves that drummers are one of the nicest person in the world, el Estepario is the rocklee in drumming, and Brandon is awesome, thanks guys for doing this.

El estepario is like final boss of drummers
@AwareOCE
March 28, 2026 at 12:48 am
Dude you just needed the team support, as soon as you had a dude bringing you new bongos your tempo jumped up by like 80bpm, THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!!!
@xiariser-213
March 28, 2026 at 12:48 am
That beginning drum pattern that he said hes never played before; @4:30 it sounds very similar to the intro of Fall out Boy Sugar we're going down

This is fucking GREAT STUFF! The humor and TALENT are off the charts!
@penguindrummaster
March 28, 2026 at 12:48 am
I still maintain what I said on the Portnoy challenge: playing someone else's kit and/or style really pushes you out of your comfort zone, and you can really see how tense his muscles are for what would otherwise be relaxed playing. Secondly, this specific skill is what I am personally weakest at, so mad respect for accomplishing this much in a mere 2 hours. I don't care that it wasn't up to tempo, or it wasn't super fluid…that shit is hard

Such a machine! A monster! Yet he is so nice and supportive. We should all be so lucky as to have someone like Jorge rooting us on.

I feel bad for Brandon, so I just adjust the playback speed to 2x and then he's almost as fast as Estepario, and I feel less bad for Brandon, but still a little bad, how do they say in Spanish, un poquito?

This video should have been called Estepario's Revenge!

Such a fun video, great editing too. I love how supportive and positive Estepario is. Humble and hard working af

Really well done. Nice that you are so open about trying new things in front of all of us. Have had those same looks on my face trying to learn much easier things. Great channel.
