1. The freaking dexterity. 2. The use of varying sounds and percussive instruments. 3. The transitions. 4. The interactions with the crowd. 5. I could watch this ALL day!!
Echa Soemantri.... Wow, Wow, Wow... I take my hat off sir... What a performance, your independence is off the chains. Your set on the other hand, OMG! I am so inspired
I'm pretty sure he can play anything and I mean anything. Jazz, rock, pop, fusion, metal, hip hop, country, Latin, etc. You name it and I bet he can play it.
Man, that was nice, glad to have discovered a great drummer, thanks! He has a Neil Peart "type" approach to the drums, to my ear anyhow, as in how he blends percussions seamlessly into his playing.
If you didn't know Echa Soemantri was also known for his drum solos with some crazy diverse medley for his minus drum track. Those transitions, are the trademarks And that last one you pointed looks like a version of a steel pan. That's a very personal drumset, I wouldn't know what I do except I try around my way
So many proverbial toys - it reminds me of my high school and college days playing lots of multiple percussion pieces. He explored so many ideas and possibilities, definitely elevated by the amount of available textures. Diving in deeper and as a contrary, note the up/down rim possibilities, simply by exploring the actual spaces between subsections of instruments. Creative cat, fun to listen to, subscribing to both.
8:26 "this is not hard actually, just ordinary difficulty" (in playful manner, not a cocky one, just joking and interacting with audiances) 8:46 "i already bought this, it would be wasted if i don't use it" (talking about that beach music snare thing, i don't know i'm not a drummer) first of all his name is Yesaya Soemantri (Yesaya is Indonesian spelling of Isiah), which means he is a Christian, and his father Willy Soemantri is Indonesian musician in 70's - 80's who in latter years involved a lot in christian music and church services, so Echa studied a lot in gospel music environment since he was little, he also can play several instruments like piano (albeit in lesser degree), but what makes Echa is so unique to me is that he explores a lot of percussive pattern, signature sound, and tendencies of many Indonesian traditional music such as from Betawi (traditional jakarta music) , sunda (west java), and Bali, even the riff in 9:16 is taken from traditional betawi song,... obviously a lot of Indonesia drummers also has traditional music influences before, and obviously at this day and age seemingly all young drummers in Indonesia competing in "who has the best gospel chops" but in my ears Echa is the best in combining both elements in a melodic context
Pretty cool guy! Flippin humble and absolutely talented! Dude played keys and drums simultaneously in one of his vids. Pretty sure you can still find it if you're desperate enough 😂.
React to Alex bent from the band trivium, sever the hand has some if the best symbol work, and another legendary drummer, listen to tool, Danny Carey does not dissapoint
recite this prayer continusly a maximum out loud or whispering : very healing : Morrnahs Prayer " Divine creator, father, mother, son as one…If I, my family, relatives and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present, we ask your forgiveness…Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories, blocks, energies and vibrations, and transmute these unwanted energies into pure light….And it is done. "
God bless you! Much love from Indonesia.

Huge LOVE from Ghana. More strength I ask for you JOSH
Wow finally some reaction for Indonesian drummer 😭👍👍👍👍( this is the first time is it? 😅 )

His main snare might be the best sounding snare I've ever heard.
he's perfect pitch,
maybe that's why
Echa Soemantri and Ray Prasetya are so versatile it's insane.
Technique, son, polyvalence et humour, j'adore!

Yeeess i have been waiting for this 🔥
8:26 "this is not hard actually, just ordinary difficulty" (in playful manner, not a cocky one, just joking and interacting with audiances)
8:46 "i already bought this, it would be wasted if i don't use it" (talking about that beach music snare thing, i don't know i'm not a drummer)
first of all his name is Yesaya Soemantri (Yesaya is Indonesian spelling of Isiah), which means he is a Christian, and his father Willy Soemantri is Indonesian musician in 70's - 80's who in latter years involved a lot in christian music and church services, so Echa studied a lot in gospel music environment since he was little, he also can play several instruments like piano (albeit in lesser degree), but what makes Echa is so unique to me is that he explores a lot of percussive pattern, signature sound, and tendencies of many Indonesian traditional music such as from Betawi (traditional jakarta music) , sunda (west java), and Bali, even the riff in 9:16 is taken from traditional betawi song,...
obviously a lot of Indonesia drummers also has traditional music influences before, and obviously at this day and age seemingly all young drummers in Indonesia competing in "who has the best gospel chops" but in my ears Echa is the best in combining both elements in a melodic context

Hey Josh, I knew him since he's just youngling.. 4yo he did his fast bossanova perfectly.
recite this prayer continusly a maximum out loud or whispering : very healing : Morrnahs Prayer " Divine creator, father, mother, son as one…If I, my family, relatives and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present, we ask your forgiveness…Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories, blocks, energies and vibrations, and transmute these unwanted energies into pure light….And it is done.
