Drummer fails first time playing Metallica "Lux Æterna"

[@BrunoAlmeida-wj4ch]

You play drums and guitar! Great job man!

[@MidnightNotion]

Thanks, Bruno! Drums were my first rock instrument, then guitar, then bass. I also play keys from time to time.

[@alwaysastudent]

My primary instrument is drums, and i haven't even attempted this one yet! i've just done it on bass, and i'm DEFINITELY no Rob Trujillo! i have to figure out what i would do in lieu of me not being able to do double bass (because, well... i only have one foot- HA). For somebody who doesn't really play drums like that, you did well for a song that just came out a few days ago! Good work man! (more drumming videos, please!)

[@MidnightNotion]

Ah come on, jamilah! Snap that prosthetic on and go to town! Or I’m gonna have to call Rick Allen and tell him to give you a pep talk about drumming. 😆

[@derjoo79]

Fewer attempts than Lars! 🤣🤘Good job Dude

[@MidnightNotion]

Thanks! 🤣🤣🤣

[@berylmgage09]

I’ve been trying to learn it too. I’m not that fast with double bass.

[@MidnightNotion]

It’s fairly simple, but I’m super duper out of practice. 10 years ago, I could have played this in my sleep, but now I’m tired just thinking about it. 😂

[@WellFiredToast]

I’m jealous of anyone who can even do a simple run on double bass. For some reason I just haven’t got it yet :(

[@MidnightNotion]

Lots and lots of practice! That’s all! The best part about drumming is you can practice it without a drum kit-tap your hands on tables and your feet on the floor. Do it while you’re driving. When you’re in the shower or in bed. You’ll get there eventually!

[@mfree80286]

@@MidnightNotion Probably shouldn't double bass pedal while driving though, kind of hard on the rubbery bits...

[@MidnightNotion]

Ope! Too late… 👀

[@MarioTorres-yp2kq]

That was great , you put me in a good mood immediately. #drums are kool. Makes Us Respect what LARS ULRICH is doing and that's Thrashing All around with #metallica #thrashnica

[@dwaynegarfield1551]

You amazing dude!!! I play too a I know it's a real challenge on the double kick!!! Killer trap set!!! Where can you get a set like this? Love it!!!

[@MidnightNotion]

It’s just a Roland TD-25. I got mine at Guitar Center back in 2016. I’m also using Superior Drummer, which is why it sounds so good, but most recording programs have some default MIDI drum patches that can get close with a little customization.

@@MidnightNotion awesome brother!!! You Rock!!!👊😎♥️🍻🙏🥁🍺

[@Jello5567]

pretty good for first time, i tryed it for the first time today, idk how I did but it felt pretty good considering that I can play few slipknot songs

[@MidnightNotion]

It’s in that weird tempo where it’s just a liiiiittle bit too slow for double kicks, but just fast enough that you can’t really do it with one foot.

[@Jello5567]

@@MidnightNotion yeah i know exactly what you mean

[@blackzeppellica]

You did great man!

[@MidnightNotion]

Thanks!

[@BosGaurus05]

Luxy Turneeerrrr!!!

[@quasarggl7502]

Nice work on this song! Would you be open to any requests?

[@MidnightNotion]

Sure!

[@quasarggl7502]

@@MidnightNotion Would a song from Sonata arctica be possible? maybe Fullmoon?

[@trulyunoriginal]

You got lost at exactly the same point I'd expect to fluff it after that off beat tom hit😄.. Good effort though, especially on the double bass. Just goes to show, even Lars's "simple" drumming can be hard going

[@MidnightNotion]

He’s a quirky bugger! Who starts a fill on the & of 4 and continues it to the & of 2? What a goofy part!

[@MidnightNotion]

It’s maddeningly simple, but I had to write it down to understand it. 🤦‍♂️

[@trulyunoriginal]

@@MidnightNotion Totally... It's so off kilter. We'll see how that pans out on stage 😁

[@MidnightNotion]

NONE of these fills will make it to the stage. 🤣🤣🤣

[@trulyunoriginal]

@@MidnightNotion I bet the big snare fill towards the end does.. but all he has to do is get the double bass going and a lot of people are going to have to eat their words.

[@chrisbenj3819]

The whole key is to reeeeelax.

[@MidnightNotion]

Where would the fun be if I got it right on the first try? 😆
