Saw this cat playing with Casey Donahue Band last Friday night. Hadn't seen nor heard Lester play live since the old Pillar days. Just like in this video and with CDB, he never overplays or underplays. He's just right there in pocket doing his job about as well as anyone. Total Professional!!
Those cymbal polyrhythms from 6:12! And then the madcap ending - single-foot kick rolls, insanely accurate, powerful speed fills... Absolutely spot on.
Lester! Omg, you’re amazing! I can watch you drum all day! 😁 Huge Kelly fan here and you and Y’all are amazing! ♥️♥️♥️ There’s a Kellyoke live stream every Wednesday night hosted by Fischtank where a community of Kelly fans get together and just appreciate and enjoy all the wonderful Kellyokes you guys put together. You are all so talented. Jason stopped by this week to chat which was awesome! Hope you come and join us too! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us and most especially with our girl Miss Kelly!
I'm ready to see more videos Lester! I remember watching you play before you started to professionally. You already know I think you're amazing! Thank you for all the great videos! ❤️
I'm 9 years old and I'm a drummer to! I have a pic of you when you were with Pillar- my dad met you a long time ago and gave me the picture! I love watching your videos- you are one of my favorite drummers
absolutely perfect, Lester you r BEASTLY, And I Love thay Aux Snare that's All Taped Up... Actually I love both ur Aux Snares!!! You were my first drumming inspiration and still a big influence!!
Just stumbled across your channel. Took my wife to see Kelly on that tour in Atlanta. And me being in music production I always judge the production lol I remember the whole night I was saying damn that drummer is on point. Great job man
LOVE this guy and his style!!! Amazing sounding linear patterns and syncopation.. anyone know where i can get the full show.. preferably from this cam \ view..
Lester Estelle brother , I find it very nice to see you playing , starting by good drummer who you are, then , the way you touch , the expressions , style , clothes , parabens brother ... This bass drum is 24 ? What AAX attack dish They knew that you use , 16 or 18 and which series ?
Amazingly inspirational playing. This is exactly the kind of thing I'mma work to live up to. Way to go with all the success! HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET THAT AWESOME SNARE SOUND?!?! Please tell me it's triggered from the SPD-SX - 'cause if she's just got a '57 on her I'm gonna lose my mind.
Thanks man! its 7x14 acrylic tuned really low then muffled to death with gaff tape and moongel to get that 70s sound. Now Im using www.bigfatsnaredrum.com
Thanks for getting back to me man, means a lot. You really are an inspiration! I'm definitely going to order a pair of BFSD heads - if they work well enough for your live gigs with Kelly Clarkson I'm sure they'll save me some headaches in the home studio (and save me on duct tape for those '80s sounds i LOVE - yay #environment!)
Wow mate, it's a pleasure to watch you play. Tell me please, do you play to a click, and what do you like in your in-ears, entire band + vocals or...? Once again, great to see you play, absolute pleasure!
I've seen this many times and I love it every time! Thanks for the great drumming and being an inspiration! I have a question about something here...it seems like you're using a single pedal? If not, no need for my second question. If my guess is correct, though, and you're using a single pedal, how'd you do that triple hit at 7:06? Most people I've seen do that use a double. How'd you do three hits that fast (and hard enough to hear!) with one foot?
Hey Lester, One Again superb Drumming as always, this is like my 10th time watching this video I can tell this is way fun for you to play with Kelly Clarkson... What did you use for your Stacks?
I'm in love with your drumming man, once a month I watch your videos to FEEL THE MUSIC and remember to myself to serve the song when I play!! You sound great!!! What did you use to record the audio??
Great drumming and a great dude. If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lester you know what I mean. Talent means nothing if you’re a 🍆 but Lester is super nice and takes time to chat with an annoying fan at church. Forever a fan.
bro u r fucking incredible. can you tell me what type of snares and head were u using for that 2 snares on ur left side. sounding amazing . THANK YOU!!!
0:08-0:11 is all I need! Those snare tones are perfect!

That snare sound is so sharp and clean I love it
His drum cams should be in one of those "oddly satisfying videos" :D . No mistakes, everything executed perfectly. So pleasant to watch!
i could watch his videos all day...fav drummer...and he's ripped out of his mind :P
I felt the fist crack of that baby snare, go right down my spine! Lush! :O
i love the sound of the side snare that is on the far left
Such a tight player, he knows exactly where the music is going and how to transition into new sections perfectly
I love the perspective of the filming! Awesome drumming! Thanks for sharing :-)
You are so kickass drummer and gifted musician, Mr Estelle
Lester! Omg, you’re amazing!

Toca muito. Um som perfeito na bateria. Top de mais
Awesome! Love the sneaky electric kick 6:10 onwards in the breakdown section, small touches make all the difference!
Stellar! So tight! This man sets the standard.
A full show of this would be so dang cool
Awesome, holy cow! I absolutely love Kelly's voice and your tone sounds killer behind her.

Muito Massa.. Lester, você é o cara na batera.. Parabéns.
Could you do a video on tuning your drums. I'm in love with these drums. Do another one of these with your pearl kit.
Great job Lester, I've always been a huge fan of your drumming, me and my friend are jealous of you lol.
Perfect snare sound

That snare!!!
Very nice drumming !Thank you

Jeffery Peppers thanks man!
Simplesmente incrível!
Muuuuuito bom!
Deveria ter uma câmera na frente também acima do caixa.
I wonder if Kelly really knew what she had behind the drums that night
She hired him for a reason
I bet she knew all about himmmm lolllll when he got behind her, purely to help her hit the high notes
Lester is smoothe! one bad ass drummer!!! wow!
Jeez, Lester, you're a rhythm powerhouse like Steve Gadd. Love the crack/bite of the middle snare sound.
Thanks so much!
You and Branden are Blessed.
love this
sencillamente excelente
Excellent!!!
Lindo de se ver um batera simples e em conjunto com a banda tá de parabéns ...fora o som da batera que e lindo
Can’t stop watching. Wish there were other camera angles though.

Lester Estelle brother , I find it very nice to see you playing , starting by good drummer who you are, then , the way you touch , the expressions , style , clothes , parabens brother ... This bass drum is 24 ?
What AAX attack dish They knew that you use , 16 or 18 and which series ?

Amazingly inspirational playing. This is exactly the kind of thing I'mma work to live up to. Way to go with all the success!

Wow mate, it's a pleasure to watch you play. Tell me please, do you play to a click, and what do you like in your in-ears, entire band + vocals or...? Once again, great to see you play, absolute pleasure!
Thanks you! 90% of the show is to a click. My mix has everybody in it similar to a cd mix but click, bass and drums are a lil louder.
Lester, great job man, what is that awsome snare U have?
Man your an awesome drummer still love the pillar stuff though!!!!!!
Soooo awesome!!! Lester what mics do you guys use on the drums?
I've seen this many times and I love it every time! Thanks for the great drumming and being an inspiration!
I have a question about something here...it seems like you're using a single pedal? If not, no need for my second question.

Lester, huge fan! Does anyone know the sizes and names of cymbals?

Very Nice playing!! I was wondering what chair are you sitting on?
Dude you are awesome. I'm wondering is there clicks in your monitor or headphones?
Thank you! Yes always click!
Well done drum tech
The sound is so good on this! Do you have a recorded feed from the mixer or something or is that just the gopro audio? Awesome video!
This sound must from mix . go pro cant do this sound.
What is that main snare of yours? It sounds absolutely fantastic!
lester, you are 10 over 10. what is that throne bro? looks amazing
Great drumming and a great dude. If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lester you know what I mean. Talent means nothing if you’re a 🍆 but Lester is super nice and takes time to chat with an annoying fan at church. Forever a fan.
