AVENGED SEVENFOLD - Bat Country - Drum Cover

[@danwybrow7226]

besides the killer playing, the periodic glancing and nodding at the camera have won me over. "Oh, hey guys. my arms and legs are going a million miles an hour, but i just wanted to make sure you aren't feeling lonely and don't feel like i've forgotten you're there..." hahaha! *subbed*

[@joshsteffen]

;)

[@coda1587]

+Dan Wybrow yeah lol. its like he's looking at the camera telepathically telling us, "you guys seeing the shit I'm doing rn?

[@djericknaka]

exactly what I thought lol too funny

[@justinmason100]

You make it look Almost Easy hehe

[@robertvaron1178]

Dude you deserve a medal lol

Matressi. Same

[@thrashmaniac.]

@Sun Sun this dude is far better than Cobus

[@Liminha_-jd8pv]

@@thrashmaniac. todos ele são bons

[@paradigmshiftz7]

@Sun Sun more accurate than Cobus' cover

[@TobbeBoll]

Jimmy Rainsford also makes a fantastic cover of this song.

[@Hass_dan_Glokta]

The Rev would be proud. perfect cover!

[@KRISNAMUSIK]

THIS IS AWESOME THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT COVER

[@theaceofspades485]

This dude quickly became my favorite drummer on KZbin. So far he plays pretty much my exact music listening to for the past 17+ years.

[@joshsteffen]

+Mr Anderson ;)

2:21 _"I know how bad ass you're about to think I am! "_

[@luissanchez-im9gy]

I said this already, I'll say it again: you defenitely do the best covers! excellent sound quality and perfect playing lml

[@joshsteffen]

;)

[@luissanchez-im9gy]

btw Josh, what do you think about megadeth's new song the threat is real?

[@joshsteffen]

Didn't hear it.

[@luissanchez-im9gy]

[@jerrysteeve9832]

[@Kendrizzle55]

Yes!!

[@DinnerTableReviews]

This ^ please do that song.

[@DecemDierum]

One of my favorites, that would be amazing

[@pablobomgiorno8273]

Cian Reeves O'shea Hell yeah brow xD

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

I don’t get why there’s so many dislikes. The drumming is basically exactly the same as the album recording and extremely solid.

[@Cali_dinho]

Rev would be proud. Amazing cover. RIP to one of the 🐐

[@FugieGamers]

I love wathcing and hearing the drums on this song, just amazing. The REV was really incredible, thanks for this excelent cover

[@jasonthornton8201]

WHAT THE FUCK that was the most flawless drum cover I've ever seen by you Josh. TRULY AMAZING

[@joshsteffen]

;)

[@jasonthornton8201]

+Josh Steffen ;)

[@potatos_4_free]

epic, as always! JOHN THE FISHERMAN .. that is all

[@austin4037]

i’m a guitar player but for some reason i genuinely love watching drum covers of these hard ass songs

[@effendi6196]

Love how you put less attractions, and just keep it simple with everything in tempo and place perfectly. Damn it, this one is flawless.

[@laurallorente9646]

I've watched this video more times than I actually remember, and I've always felt amazed by your awesome playing

[@TheAhmedFreak]

This is what I've been looking for years. such an impeccable cover and perfect sound quality. I love it man

[@joshsteffen]

;)

[@tombody878]

Please do a cover of beast and the Harlot by a7x

[@luisosve2299]

[@TheGuardBear]

YESSS!!!

[@hentai126]

[@jeongjeongmusic]

I second this

[@aaron3423]

Jimmy would be proud ! So far, you make some of the best covers ! Keep it up

[@CAndy-jv4po]

josh = drumming beast

[@PsychoMetalKid]

This is quickly becoming my favourite Avenged song, Now I can learn to play this song no sweat. Thanks bro!

[@troypeace3779]

Whoever dislikes this cover has an issue the dude never misses a meat in this song let alone any song he does!

[@troypeace3779]

Beat NOT meat

[@joshsteffen]

+Troy Peace the second comment sounds great :)

[@brianmancilla77]

Troy Peace This cover was amazing i just didnt like the fact that he added/took away some pedals in certain parts

[@troypeace3779]

The second comment even sounded weird... haha nice job man

[@NilsHedstrom]

Troy Peace Some probably disslikes cause they are jealous that he is such a skilled drummer, that he can nail such Advanced and great songs but they can't even play regular 4/4 beats

[@DaxterZA]

That was insane!! The Rev would be impressed Im sure

[@brandonmut2432]

I'm loving the A7x covers. I appreciate you making these as I know you prefer thrash metal. These guys are my favorite! Keep up the good work!

[@joshsteffen]

I wouldn't do them if I didn't like them. ;)

[@fuhtehangzo1465]

More avenged stuff please Jose ;)

[@BAKEMONOMX]

Wow amazing drumming!

[@Nabichi]

This guy deserves atleast 1 Million Subscribers!

[@hgjeitanger]

Wow. You made that look easy! Really good job man. I enjoyed watching!

[@NavarroSkyrim]

[@conandog3514]

2:02 you got my fav part

[@Noone59398]

[@avrolcaster]

[@constantine666ad]

He'd cry

[@wolfgangambrose4241]

Lars Country?

[@slenderbc0751]

In the 80s he would play that very well. Nowadays he would probably lose his hands and feet.

[@josephmother110]

[@joshsteffen]

Drums Only on the way..

[@davie405]

[@LucsPereira]

+Gabriel Vieira concordo ! Blinded in Chains please .

[@gregtheflyingwhale]

What I love about A7X drums is how Rev used ride cymbal. For fuck sake I love this simple but attractive style he was doing!

[@ulasgursoy2838]

Megadeth - The Skull Beneath the Skin would be amazing. Awesome shit as always Josh. Keep it up!

[@twistedmrk3656]

Rock on! Always watching for new stuff and love it.

[@dimebagshane]

Never had I clicked on a like button so fast.

[@timothyjames46]

Out of all the cover attempts, this is indeed the best, based on humility. Everyone else tries to add their individual flair.

[@swissyswae3410]

Great cover man! Have you thinked about doing death magnetic medley?

[@joshsteffen]

Yeah

[@Manoloutti]

+Josh Steffen ah finally ! a full my apocalypse cover would be cool too (most underrated metallica song imo). outstanding cover of the only a7x song that i already know ! love it !

[@TH4L3G1TK1NG]

its good to finally see a drum cover that gets the chorus of this song correct, good job man!!

[@brianmancilla77]

TH4L3G1TK1NG Its really good but i mean its not completely correct

[@TH4L3G1TK1NG]

missing some accent hits on the snare i know, but he got the first part of the chorus correct with a little bit of extra hits.

[@BlackMaria]

3:52 this part is perfect

[@natea3799]

Jake Herington Thanks man.

[@Rana-xk4xr]

The Rev would've been so proud. This is absolutely fantastic

[@caiomarcelomadeira3191]

Medley City of Evil -

[@Azimoyo]

you always find new songs for me to love and obses, thank u and keep up the great work

[@jonathanburton7971]

The hate towards a7x stemmed from bandwagon mentality and ignorance in my opinion, " oh these metal heads hate it, I better not give it a chance and open my mind or else I'll be branded a poser and not a true metal head. A7x are a band that doesn't self identify so seriously with genre, they write purely from mixed influence. No trying to be something. They aren't pure yeah, but they aren't pretentious like many "true metal" bands. I love metal, but the over serious, hypocritical and ignorant nature of the sub culture I find to be gay as hell. Yeah I said gay, protest me.

[@leejk3926]

+Jonathan Burton I agree with you there. They do what songs they feel like and go in what direction they want. Every song I've heard by them has been great imo from Dear God to Second Heartbeat.

[@gyroman567]

I like the music but the fans give me cancer

[@leejk3926]

gyroman567 I don't personally think that but I don't really tend to go around looking at much where you would see many fans or at least immature ones. You do get fans like that with anything though, even if it's not music related. I've only met nice fans so far though.

[@cagdas_balsoy]

What a fuckin' good cover. I play drum too, I can use twin but I can't play this song so thank you for this cover, maybe I'll play in the future

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks

[@cannotHIDEpr]

a legend right here, absolutely amazing

[@paulabbott1199]

I've watched this probably 10 times in the past 6 months and the accuracy just blows my mind. Also thank you for not pandering like other YT drummers. You kill it and nod at the end like a boss. That's all you need. haha

[@stonedhead6854]

Josh you know what i learnt my first double bass song through your video.... and that song was 'Save me - Avenged Sevenfold'..... this was a small thanks from my side.. thank you so much Josh for uploading such amazing drum covers.... hope we can gig together in future if possible ... stay happy and stay amazing 🤘✌

[@pkw726]

same! started learning "save me" and double bass becoz of josh

[@MrMaKeMeDiNnEr]

Best drummer on youtube for sure..keep it up!

[@claudelada]

always a pleasure to heard you Josh !

[@glasgowharleyrider]

The revs playing lives on forever josh, done his work justice there man.. 10/10

[@tombody878]

Omg thank you for uploading this! One of my favourite songs

[@Trotpowa]

Me and my friend are fuckin loving you dude, you're being my actual motivation to get better at drumming, you're great ! greetz from france !

[@GalacticCenterOG]

Great cover and proves the Rev Was s-tier at such a young age already.

[@libertinesbabyshambles5504]

[@NickRollins1987]

That little variation at 4:50 is so cool

[@EdPaul-uc3ew]

2:20 Fuck!!! 🙌 So damn perfectly executed! 😭. You fucking rule, Josh! 🤘🥁🤘

[@REYALSREIGN]

I've been watching you for a bit now. Very inspiring. Great techniques. Confidence. Keep it up. You're killing it everytime.

[@thesoftparade435]

unbelievable! its great to see it this clearly

[@xartius]

This is actually one of the most creative and interesting drum parts every created.

[@paulpin4123]

That is awesome. That would be in my top5 of your best covers.

[@garyburrows70]

[@AzRules]

The best bat country drum cover!

[@AvengedVg]

FRIGGIN NAILED IT! Sick drumming man!

[@willandrewsmusic]

Watching this video just goes to prove how talented the Rev really was, you can definitely see the Mike Portnoy inspiration and how well he was able to interpret grooves into the song. Phenomenal drummer and as are you :)

[@lucasfirmin7680]

Awesome!

[@joetroutt7425]

This song and beast and the harlot are by far the best drumming the Rev did. R.I.P

[@tylerbennett4922]

Keep it up man. Covers keep getting better and this one was pure fire.
