Mario Duplantier- Gojira- Drum Solo

[SaintEndsville]

Well, in light of all the debate and references to Lars Ulrich here let me point out one thing. In 1988 when the video for "One" was released you see Lars Ulrich playing double bass. "One" is the only Metallica song where double bass is used. Lars simply does not have the coordination to play with a double bass pedal. I caught the Justice tour twice and both times saw Lars playing double bass on the song with a slave pedal. Any questions?

[ninja1dalbem]

finally a metal drummer solo that is not boring! THAT'S what I call technique allied with creativity!

[tapaddtiiiii]

Lol @ pointless headbanging moment at the end xD

Mario is freaking badass

[KillThrill103]

yea.....thats definitely the drummer for gojira!! cant mistake those riffs

[MetallicOpeth]

fucking beast



[sponkian]

Got a drumstick from him:D



[LavenderSalad]

@sponkian Lucky biaaatch!! :D

[pitxun]

@sponkian got 2 broken cymbals from him

[sk8rt33]

starting at like 2:20... COOLEST THING IVE EVER HEARD!

[JoeChitussi]

Mario is incredible.

for current metal drummers etc only person that is better is probably tomas haake from Meshuggah

[17Gron]

@JoeChitussi Brann Dailor!

[klick2destruct]

@JoeChitussi better is a bad word for musicians. but you are right, mario and tomas are my two main influences/heroes.

[EternallyFalse]

@JoeChitussi entirely agree, meshuggah and gojira are the kings of progressive death metal

[PARIAH805]

@JoeChitussi Ya there are many good drummers out there dude. Chris Adler is amazing too.

[PUNKYMEFISTO]

2:27 FAIL any ways great fucking solo

[GodCheese]

godlike stamina and exacting rhythm along with an intensity that is unmatched IMO

[strato172]

Hey kids! Learn your double stroke! Mario has it down pack!

[Stalker22]

Because fuck symbols.

[sas0089]

0:00 "Oh Shit" ;D

Like if you heard :P

[k2g64]

Mario Dunplantier would dominate Joey Jordison in a drum battle so suck it Slipknot

[RapedFossil]

if you bring joey jordison or lars ulrich in this video they'd already win

[necrofagg0t]

I THINK I LOVE HIM

[ThexteraDrummer]

His drums sound weird.. :S

[LowGoth]

Machiiiiiiiiiine !

[jahkoz]

Nice Solo i like the dynamics!!! Listen To WITHIN THE RUINS their drummer is so good that i dont think he is human. They just call him DRUMMER no name.

[sixxteddy]

DAMN, this guy is a machine

[jjdrummer32]

learn how to spell Gojira....

[Scarlettfever1991]

@jjdrummer32 Oh crap, had no idea. I've had this uploaded for three years! Thanks for correcting me.

[jjdrummer32]

@Scarlettfever1991 no problem man

[pennaivas]

@Scarlettfever1991 i always used to search for this video and i always found it because i knew you had mispelled gojira, took me a while to realise this was the same video haha

[XIPH0S707]

him and adler are beasts

[r34perpwnz]

Fuck, he's good. I'd rate him up there with Thomas Haake and Travis Orbin. And don't get me started on those facial expressions, what passion!

[ricardoieci]

awesome drummer, gojira rules.

[sixxteddy]

mario would whip chris adler, niel pert, travis barker, lars ulrich, and anyone who stands in his way (BTW: i may have spelled names wrong or gotten names wrong SO FUCKING SUE ME)

[l0lum4d]

Why does Metallica always get brought up during Gojira videos?

[Steelerfan805]

@l0lum4d why not?

[aantiawp]

@l0lum4d I don't know if you've noticed but bitches loves to bring up joey jordison and ulrich in drum videos -.-'

[l0lum4d]

@aantiawp

Well I'm going to put this out here now, Ulrich is an average drummer. You can argue things like, "Oh he plays thrash really well, just different styles of play". I call that a pile of bullshit. That's like saying, "Lil' Wayne is just as great a vocalist as Kristoffer Rygg, just a different style". No, he's not. Metallica's drumming is just easier than that of Gojira.

[ThexteraDrummer]

@aantiawp Well they are drummers...

[parabola235]

@l0lum4d the world works in stupid ways my friend

[zant3]

i was in this concert and i can swear this guy is one of the most amazing drummer in the world

[00Dakka]

gaaah he has so much groove

[Samm3x]

Man he is great! I love his windmill headbang at the end!!

[SwissShredder]

LOL at mentioning Lars after watching this video.

[Shinoda057]

Mario is a fucking god !

[CAROLINELEDERLE]

lars and mario are gods os drume

[Mendlev]

he´s a god

[ImIoOImI]

he fits to gojira as gene fits to syl

[wjsieving]

John Boecklin from Devil Driver is better

[Nananaa77]

@wjsieving Mmmmh... have you ever heard Gojira? John is good, cause i listen to devildriver too, but Mario... that's skill!

[tonyperkis615]

@wjsieving Nah John is good, and I mean really good, but Super Mario is better. Listen to Gojira's actual music not just this solo.

[Rossetaki]

stop this guy he might have a heart attack! hahha mario rules!!

[palryo]

>.> yays

[pur3Seigmen]

lars ulrich isnt that good.. hes nothing compared to Mario Duplantier og chris adler, and so on..

[AMPENERGY50]

@pur3Seigmen george kollias, inferno from behemoth, neil peart, john bonham.... hell there are people on youtube better than lars

[capnkdawg]

@pur3Seigmen Technically he may not be as good...but hes still good, and as far as musicianship goes, he is second to no drummer...even Mario and Chris will tell you that

[VoraciousKiller]

This drum solo doesnt blow my mind, but he knows damn well what to write on those Gojira tracks.

[infiniteobscure]

@VoraciousKiller i thought the same... he plays soo good by the way!

[TheOmegaPoint08]

GOOD MARIO! you kick asses!!!

[capnkdawg]

When I listen to these guys I'm like yeah, they're alright, but if you see them live, thay kick ass!!! The drummer amazed me especially!

[MasterDucks]

@capnkdawg gojira is so much better live. kick so much ass. mario is awesome, he did a drum solo when i saw them and it was super good.

[Marhoon025]

EmbodiedDespair: He is

[morgoth88]

i love this drummer. his tracks at their discs are awesome!

[EmbodiedDespair]

Why is this dude the best thing to happen to metal drumming in years?

[sobman]

@EmbodiedDespair

Because you listen to shitty bands

[EmbodiedDespair]

Opinions pending.

[Grazianomenghi]

I like him as a drummer, he's amazing indeed !!!

[jesusthemiddie]

He makes me want to kill myself with his god like ness.

[Oxidized]

Jesus. I'm awe struck. Mario is a drum GOD.

[LashByLash69]

sooo talented, he is precise, creative, fast, and awesomely cool

[booish123]

love this band so much!!! mario is sooooooo awesome!

[DocentDoc]

Excellent solo - contains almost everything what is important. Amazing technique ! Kick ass !

[oliien]

wha the fuck? you can't compare him with lars ulrich...

[renssom]

@oliien Yeah totally different styles.

[SatansNemesis666]

@oliien Because Mario is 100 times better. 

[oliien]

@SatansNemesis666 Excactly

[GrandRiffAuto73]

@oliien i hope by that u mean Lars is trash...cuz he is.

[SyndromeDrummer666]

@GrandRiffAuto73 how the fuck can you fucking morrons who don't know shit about music compare a different style of drumming each with other,you don't know shit about music,don't comment if you are a noob!!!!

[John19Morley93]

@oliien

Hopefully meaning Lars Ulrich is awful?

Because even though many are probably better than this guy he still shits on Ulrich!

[SyndromeDrummer666]

@John19Morley93 i will shit on you because you morron are comparing two different drummers,and if you would knew you fucked up face lars ulrich is one of mario duplantier's idols you jerk,think before you speak 10 year old pussy!!!!

[John19Morley93]

@SyndromeDrummer666

Lmao if I'm 10, why is it you that can't spell and pronounce sentences correctly? xD Don't get so offended by somebody else's opinion, it doesn't make you look clever, it doesn't make you look scary or anything like that, and neither does my opinion itself!

If you didn't approve of what I said, you shouldn't have commented it you fucking imbecile :L xD

[mrpr0b0y]

@oliien Lars Ulrich is a fucking douche compared to Mario

[mrdeathamore]

@oliien Lars is good drummer for his genre and for metallica at all.. but Mario's drumming is fuckin' unique

[A920Z]

Lars Ulrich cant play that fast :P

[luvs2spooge93]

@A920Z  or as smooth

[eraddon]

@zct40812 Lars is not shit at all mate ;) Just we can't compare him with Mario because of his drumming and genre.

[dylantill]

@zct40812 Lars sucks compared to Mario and many others.

[MikePostDrums]

@dylantill Sure does.

[ev0cat1on]

this is what a drum solo should look like

[BloodyxWishes]

2:28 is my favorite.

Absolutely amazing!

[89erik]

holy fuck, this is incredible!

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

fuck yeah im pumped! wheres my drunk grilfriend now?

[PkColossal]

How the hell does he do that at 1:28 and at 2:27...that's so damn fast !! Sick solo :)

[MatthewThornton89]

by being just totally full of win thats how

[xxhellfestxx]

Certes joey est loin d'être le meilleur (moi-même batteur je m'en suis très vite rendu compte) Mais mario, il est original mais .... j'accroche pas, moi je dit rien ne vaut un bon hellhemmer ou un derek roddy, a voir aussi romain goulon ;)

Aprés a cotés on a qu'a voir virgil donnati ou vinnie colaiuta puis aprés cette video la parrait insignifiante, même si j'aime beaucoup gojira =)

[UselesFlesh]

exact same argument is on an english ver aswell rofl. COME TO AUS FFS

[weatherfield57]

Like the scrapes between the floor toms!

[FukPosers]

COME TO NZ

[milou82b]

Je dirai même:"horlogerie" surgery.

[milou82b]

J'adore

[ilvblastbeat]

3)Je viens di penser mais ce qui me ferait rire,c'est d'entendre joey jouer Esoteric surgery en live,jpense on pourrai pas mal rigoler niveau précision de la double.

[ilvblastbeat]

2)Pi excuser moi mais j'ai vu ces 2 batteurs en live bah ya pas photo mario est beaucoup plus précis,pas un coup de double de raté alors que joey lui fait que se planter limite il tape les 2 pieds en même temps,ce mec ne fait que jouer au nerf,il n'a aucun contrôle (ses coups sont recalés en studio c'est tout) et croyez moi je sais ce que je dis je suis batteur donc j'étais extrêmement attentif à leurs jeu durant le live.

[ilvblastbeat]

1)mario botte le cul de joey car il est beaucoup plus créatif que l'autre faget qui sait juste faire des frisés sur les toms complètement incohérent,sa part juste dans tous les sens. De plus mario peut aller aussi vite que lui si il le souhaite (ya ka écouter the art of dying vers les 4 min la bonne double ki t'envoie et c'est pas du trafiqué il l'a refait parfaitement en live).

[Marhoon25]

best drummer out there IMO

[ma4444448]

Bon personellement moi je préfère Joey Jordison et je redit PERSONELLEMENT et chacun ses gouts

[rdlbdl]

J'ai vu gojira et slipknot live.

Jordison voulait aller tellement vite à la double que plusieurs fois il a fait des gros pins dégueus... c une chèvre.

Mario à la même vitesse il peut se rouler une clope. Il est bcp plus propre, précis et surtout bcp plus inventif et mélodique dans son approche avec Gojira.

Bref Je n'irais plus jamais voir Slipknot car ça puait velu (j'ai raté Anvil pour aller les voir mais que je suis con)

Gojira c meilleur live que sur l'album. Du rêve!

[ilvblastbeat]

voila t'a tout compris tu m'enlève les mots de la bouche,ce joey est juste un imposteur qui arrive à berner des ados de 12-14 ans qui n'ont pas vraiment essayer d'écouter autre chose,et qui surement pour la plupart ne connaissent rien à la musique -_-

[sale67]

un solo sa doit être du ressenti et pas simplement une double grosse caisse a fond ... C'est idiot de dire que joey est meilleur car plus rapide ou autre, faudrait connaitre gojira avant de dire sa, et puis chaque batteur est different..

[ajili777]

at least he's put on a show...

[DannyPickle]

I saw Gojira open for Metallica. I don't like their type of music but the drummer is still badass

[thomaslejon]

il essaye de faire quoi...

[ctdjazz]

Joey Jordison has nothing to do with Mario.

Shut up and watch.

[TweakMyStyle]

this guy would shit on jordisons face.

[MikePostDrums]

@TweakMyStyle He did.

[jayakishore1234]

travis barker---good drummer with great energy and presence

joey jordison---fast and onstage presence

mario- very interesting drummer,very unique,powerful double kicks

[Huitzel]

Homo.

[fsxace909]

seriously shut up. who cares anymore on who's better.

[MrSpitz99]

chris adler of LoG will always be my favorite drummer, but damn, mario is a VERY close second. The things he does with his kit are absolutely breathtaking. this is possibly one of the most beautifully inventive solos i have ever seen! GOJIRA FOR LIFE!!

[brownlawnmowerent]

I fucking hate it when kids bitch about joey jordison and travis barker. Its so ignorant. Just because they drum a different way. Man everybody on this earth is different. Joey Jordison is totally different from mario. Everyones gona have a different way of drumming. Im tired of everyone giving there fucking two cents on these guys. GREAT DRUM SOLO BY THE WAY THANKS FOR PUTTING IT UP.

[TweakMyStyle]

fuck off, joey jordyson is a fuckwit all he does is double kick really fast

[666Meshuggah]

Bullshit

[exempt23]

So I sign in to see some Gojira and everyone's talking about that faggot from Slipknot. Cut that shit out

[DocentDoc]

Fuckin' crazy and amazing drumming. He is incredibile good drummer. Love his skills.

[insaneCHILD00]

he's a fucking machineeee

[matt666heafy]

sweet

[joeyloki62]

Travis barker ==> shit

Joey jordison is good but he should'nt play with slipknot, he's good but no more.

Mario Duplantier is one the best

[angelofdeath014]

Mario Duplantier and Gene Hoglan are the FUTURE of drumming.. even though Gene has been professionally drumming for a long time, he still comes up with the most rediculous drum beats

[Sronpop]

Joey Jordison is way better than this boring crap, lol, only kidding, anyone who thinks that obviously doesn't know anything about playing an instrument and knows nothing about substance.

as amazing as mario is, i just cant help but feel his best days, and gojiras are yet to come, which is part of why i like them so much, its impossible to tell whats coming next.

[zappafann15]

Nice use of the paradiddle

[amazingfantasy66]

lols im in an arguement with a stupid cunt who thinks travis barker is better then mario! what a dumb fuck. mainstream music fans are sooo full of shit

[blackseedsofvengance]

LOL what a joke! Mario kills joey and travis barker, i can only think of a few drummers better than him, George kollias, shannan lucas

[Capero95]

I think mario is better then George Kollias, Mario got more grooves then him George is just faster then him

But don't get me wrong. George is a awesome drummer!

[blackseedsofvengance]

Ya good point man, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just dont think their are any good mainstream drummers, let alone many good mainstream bands

[tambian89]

George doesn't really play too much music that is very groove oriented - Nile and his other bands focus on speed and brutality rather than grooves. Check out some his solo material and the other work he does, like the band Cerebrum and you'll see some interesting stuff.

Mario is great too though

[hemplantt]

hey man your one of those kids who genuinely does not know what they are talking about. it's not my opinion it's just fact

[DudeFuckingSick]

marijnCotF:

Dude .. i don't think joey is better than this .. Joey isn't even good... The only thing Joey is, is fast and he can't keep the rhythm... I know what i'm talking about, because I saw slipknot at Graspop this year and Joey sucked really hard.

[jezus1337]

do u play drums?

[jaydendrums111]

joey cant be compared to other metal drummers, seriously its not on

[jaydendrums111]

good thing you deleted that comment. would of made a dick out of yourself

have a nice day

[thepassis123]

lmao ducks and nigger prostitutes?

[CMetalTube]

Come on guys, face it

Gene Hoglan is great

Mario Duplantier is great

Mike Portnoy is great

Why otherwise would they have been playing with the bands they play in?

Joey Jordison gets grinded by all of these guys.

[gunnarlea]

Fucking awesome playing! Gojira FTW

[joeyloki62]

+1 hush.

Jordison est mon batteur favoris.Ce qui est dommage avec joey mais aussi tout les autres de slipknot, c'est leur style de musique, bien que le temps fasse son oeuvre, car plus on avance plus les albums sont bon.Dans un autre style, ils auraient encore plus énormes.

Suffit de voir joey avec d'autres groupes, on s'apercoit que c'est pas son jeu de double pédale qui fait de lui un grand batteur.Regardez avec roadrunner.

Et mario....ralalala,tellement impressionnant.

[HushHumanity]

Mario est un super batteur, vraiment excellent, vraiment j'apprécie beaucoup ce batteur! Mais je trouve et continuerai à penser que Joey Jordison est meilleur dans leur genre à tous les 2... Joey est plus polyvalent, plus puissant, a plus de style de jeu... mais bon, Mario reste un grand chez les grands batteur de metal!

[parkerbob99]

this drummer is amazing, and so is the drummer off of decapitated

but hes dead

I think his name is Vitek

[CMetalTube]

Absolutely breathtaking, mixing groove with emotion and power.. beautiful!

I wish I could become such a drummer sometime...

[HushHumanity]

Joey Jordison is better than him

[atheistgreek]

lol.. i laughed so hard on that comment

[LegendaryRoryG]

me too man. ^^

[amazingfantasy66]

i looove slipknot and joey but dude mario rofl stomps him

[raphexe]

mario is amazing, but he's showing how he can groove in here, its not a speed demo and stuff !

[shlempnar]

fuck shut up with JJ. its like bringing a plague into a nice video. no more talk pleeeeease. save the opinions

[TonyDamy1627]

Mario wipes his ass with Joey. He probably wipes his ass with most metal drummers besides Haake, Roddy, and Hoglan. There arent many drummers more technically sound than Du Plantier.

[TurtleyPompato]

Gene Hoglan is just about speed.

And that ... Sucks! Nothing close to cool about speed.

Just in my opinion d:

[shlempnar]

are you kidding me? gene fucking hoglan just about speed? why the hell do think hes one of the most sought after metal secessionists. hes a fucking wall crushing groove tank.

[O8SOL3TE]

Don't forget HellHammer, probably better than Mario.

[CTUKeyes]

totally agree. mario is way better than joey. also don't forgot richard christy from death/ iced earth. bad ass drummer

[mangodealer]

john longstreth

[uberdeathmetal]

you can t compare joey and mario. not because the genre is totally different but because the difference is so fucking huge because it can 't be told. I mean Mario is like god and joey like a shit

[BCDPRODUCTIONS1234]

Mario is better than joey hands down, if you want endurance listen to From the sky, Technicality and groove listen to Flying whales or oroborus and for speed Either Esoteric surgery or remembrance.

One day Mario will be as recognized as peart or Portnoy, bold claims i know. Mario is one of the most underrated and unknown drummers i know
