[@Ultra-Collector]

Ok word is bond i’ve never double commented ever! As a professional musician,Drummer and guitarist I have to say we have something extraordinary with this kid,he has what we call intuition,i’d put him in a band that needs a drummer any day of the week! I’d like to add that i too kick with Jay 4’s,I polish my pedals too but i’ll admit i couldn’t do what this kid does on a single pedal. My man is truly talented,as complicated as Gospel drumming is the creativity in metal music,especially contributing to one of the worlds best drummers of all time is so money you cannot comprehend! I’d love to work with kid,i’d be honored in fact! The kid has the brightest future possible and i’m going to tell all my peeps at Victory and Interscope about him. Best upload to date Drumble! Brilliantly edited with the unheard and after the heard version play. Absolutely Magnificent episode!

[@andrewmercier7991]

I mean... giving a 16 year old kid JOEY JORDISON. not fair. but for him to not be fearful when he heard the track without the drums and go for it... good on him

[@randallhunt9170]

Yeah, it was a bit beyond him, but he laid down a good groove for it, and I'd like to see what he'd do with it in 10 years.

[@timkrash9190]

I mean... What does age have to do with anything? I've heard some 8 year olds nail Slipknot songs with ease. Practice makes perfect. Also the best drummers are the ones who don't stick to one genre but try to embrace it all and learn as many techniques as they can. They become versatile beasts on drums.

@@timkrash9190 You could also say that by taking on challenges like this Joshua us doing "what the best do" by taking on new genres and improving his ability to be put on the spot. You can 100% tell he wasn't ready for it, but every time he got back to a part again it was cleaner and sounded better. By the end he was doing an incredible job. My only tip to Josh may only be practicing more active listening. It seems like while he was listening he didn't play around too much which is something you would see someone like Chad Smith do right away. Either way he's only 16 and he's got a great career ahead of him.

[@dillondewitt3952]

Kid plays incredibly. He looks super comfortable while he’s playing. A very controlled energy. Pretty cool to see since a lot of drummers would be really swinging and moving while they’re playing something like this. Really good performance for three listens. And 16 years old? Craaaaazy. Tons of time to grow as a drummer and he’s already ahead of people who’ve been playing longer than he’s been alive.

[@Cayoalbuquerque]

Lil dude is a beast! Even though he was out of his comfort zone, he gave it a shot and took a lot of chances during the retake after listening to the original (and even tried to respect the original groove as much as he could). That was phenomenal. That right foot control is mental! What a legend. Imagine what he would do if he had a lot of time to practice, create and record a song like this on an album.
