I cut out a few of the repetitive parts at the end. It's not as exciting with just the click track. HOWEVER, you can go here to watch my full cover with the actual track: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4TbqGyjlJalgNk Metallica will make all the money from the ads on that one. But at least I look/sound cool doing it!

[@juanemmanuelsalinas2001]

I'm not actually trying to be a jerk but you need to change those tom heads it usually sounds awful like that cuz you never change them for a good while you'll see your Tom's going some way better when you change the heads and he's snare re too

[@Revbone450]

I'd love to see you take an old marching bass drum and turn it into a massive 24+ inch snare.

[@rocinanteferox4267]

That's one of the best ideas this comment section has ever had

[@rfx55]

This is an rdavidr colab if I ever heard one.

[@ooinvsaoo]

​@rfx55 this is DEFINITELY an RDavidR joint...

[@Sivri_]

WE NEED THIS

[@alex_johnson_35]

YES!

[@suspicious_soup-]

9:37 that fill is CLEAN 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

[@savedforever1]

YES IT WAS

[@Badboyrune2k]

Next level is to play along with the version that speeds up every time they sing "Master". Gotta go fast!

[@ethanandrews1230]

I just want to say that I’m a huge Metallica fan and bassist and this song is and always will be the GOAT!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@redpig6878]

This was amazing! I just learned it on drum set too. Yeah Lars really liked to put the crashes with the snare instead of where it usually would be

[@flekkzo]

Doesn’t he do the whole toms with his left hand while playing the high hat with his right? I might be faffing it up, but I think that’s also a Nicko McBrain-ism (which Lars is a fan of). Would like to see more Nicko, maybe something from somewhere in time. I think the old EMC productions would have fun with that. And remember, one kick drum only, no double pedals. Do it right.

[@Kylora2112]

That's a thrash thing. Snare on the upbeats, crashes on the backbeats.

[@MrJasonodonnell]

I leant this song by memorizing the guitar riffs, all the drums on this song sound like a guitarist playing drums, right down to the accent timings and downstroke heavy feel, so many dudes hear it wrong.

[@tomherbort7301]

This is probably your finest drum set work!

[@leonardking84]

Loved it. Your full performance with vocal track was pretty damn good.

[@sgtleobella]

Hell yeah, rock on, Eric! I request Pneuma by Tool next time you do one of these :)

[@worldrummer]

I love mapex, and I LOVE armory, and that's a great finish, but to me it just screams yacht rock, and exclusively yacht rock.

[@garrischlow6652]

Urlich himself can't do the original drum line now, it was very Brilliant! Great job!!!

[@NoobGamingXXX]

yeah ... like he is 60 years old ?? And who cares for a monkey repeating what others created 40 years ago ?

[@spencerboyum6086]

2:29 - No cheating!!

[@BangVDrumChannel]

Keep On Rockin..thanks for sharing..👍🤘😎🙏

[@benedicvelasco]

13/16 measures? I just thought Lars was permanently drunk.

[@jextzee]

that snare sounds so good man what snare is that😭😭

[@DDubs730]

BRO I do the same stick close thing, just a habit from when I used to be in drumline ig.

[@zezinhocambalhota972]

The only thing missing is getting up during the crash chokes lol

[@RedDogMamaHD]

Back with the Mandarins! See you soon in Allentown!!!

[@wrekka8348]

We play a shortened version of MOP for marching band I think it’s at 214BPM or something like that

[@ethanandrews1230]

That sounds brutal

[@thonkingkong8457]

That's really cool but marching 214 bpm would be very brutal

[@MaggaraMarine]

The tempo is actually the same here - it's simply notated in half tempo with twice as fast note values. Quarter note at 210 bpm = 8th note at 105 bpm. So, what is typically notated as quarter notes, are notated as 8th notes here.

[@TrucksNTrains-m6x]

Yo, that was gnarly. Good job EMC.

[@williamharris6003]

He uses the ride on a song on load "until it sleeps" if not others as well

[@bishopoftroy]

You started learning it since you heard it for the first time which was probably a long time ago :)))

[@ZakareeRandol]

Honestly the cover was great. The only problem was the hi-hat not being opened 😂

[@collinmckee3335]

This is the first song I learned 😢 it was very difficult

[@STSGuitar16]

Ah yes, drum set sheet music. Just as Lars and God intended.

[@stevecampkin8613]

The only “Double Bass” in this is from measure 22. Everything else is done with one foot. This is true for Lars, Dave Lombardo, Charlie Benente and the Megadeth drummers up to and including Nick Menza.

[@larkiteklopena1378]

A song I need to learn on bass. Well time to get to it.

[@jacobarnoldmusic]

nice.

[@oldguy445]

YOu should a cover a Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein." That song has both a drum set and a set of timbales.

[@therealeikichionizuka]

as much as people shit on lars nowadays, he really was on top of his game around the Puppets era. as an amateur metal dummer, great work!

[@Zachary_Sweis]

Great job. I bet you'd run through Physical Education by Animals as Leaders pretty easily.

[@DeadKoby]

That worked... You're attempt is up there with a reasonable cover band...

[@danjell88]

Wow, you are amazing! Which software do you use for sheet music?

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

I never thought drumset woukd ve hard for a Drumline player, I've played Drums for over 2 years and I still cant get anywhere near the level of getting into marching stuff, I never thought the same would apply in reverse

[@Alidorne]

Yeah, makes total sense that the guy who does marching stuff has incredibly clean singles. Death metal cover when?!?!?!

[@shadow105720]

They definitely have a lot of crossover. Double bass helps too when you have to cover half the field backwards in 6 seconds by giving me calf muscles. Being able to keep your upper body still while holding a drum and moving surprisingly helps with double bass too. Balance is a huge part of double bass and nobody talks about it. Watch a lot of drummers curl up their back when they have to do a really fast run on kicks vs pro death metal players like Gene Hoglan who can sit perfectly upright and relaxed while going blazing faster than I could ever hope.

[@Internet1Explorer1]

Paradiddles Rule!

[@peterpetrov7073]

My man learned the entire song in a minute basically.

[@Thassae]

Nice work. You should try St. Anger now...

[@thomasholcomb7681]

You should recreate Jason Segel’s 32 piece drum set from Freaks and Geeks

[@TK-eg6vp]

Awesome job!

This was fun!

[@ferretyluv]

4:25 Okay, granted that I haven’t played in years, but what’s up with that freaky repeat symbol on the top right? I’ve never seen that before. Is that just a drum thing?

I guess it’s a different way of writing it

[@johanpork3011]

Is it bad that I can still hear all of the guitar and lyrics parts and know exactly where he is in the song just from the drums?

[@its_drjenkins]

Someone already mentioned that Lars uses a ride on “Until It Sleeps” from load, but he also uses a ride for my personal favorite of the Metallica instrumentals, “Call of Ktulu” from Ride the Lightning. Regarding Master of Puppets, I do not think he uses a ride at all (I don’t think he uses a ride on the whole album for that matter).

[@shadow105720]

I think you're right Master is when he put a China there and never looked back.

[@vitalik97]

Not true - Lars had a ride part on Disposable Heroes and it still was a part of his kit during the Master tours. Later during Ride era he swapped it for a second high hat and somewhere mid-90’s during load/reload era ride returned for the softer songs from those records. The second high hat was then swapped for a second china. And then finally during St Anger the ride was gone but the china stayed. Although he still brings it out occasionally if they play softer songs from load/reload era like until it sleeps or bleeding me.

[@germansalas6159]

Breakdown on Disposable.

[@beansareontoast]

imagine him trying to learn something like diasterpiece or people = s*** by slipknot

[@aflrz231]

Hello! Are you just using a Sibelius file as your sheet music?

[@E.b.c_drum]

Funny enough, i listin to the song so much i could play it almost exactly at normal speed at first and then i went to 125x speed to get that seattle feel.

[@opietaylor5778]

Whenever I play Lars things I also say I play drums… it’s different… lol get it…. Get it….. GET IIIIIITTTTTT

[@DeviantmindOG]

It’s actually a 21/32 measure but missing the last note. It’s nothing you can really put onto paper correctly.

[@cooperlittlehales6268]

It's like an abridged version of master of puppets. Like you skip some of the repetitions at the start of the song, and skip some verses.

[@flekkzo]

Pretty sure it’s not 13/16. I’ve seen 21/32 but to be honest it’s 100% by feel. It should feel abrupt and like you skip. Lars gets a lot of crap, but boy did he record some funky and odd stuff that somehow works :)

[@MaggaraMarine]

This is notated in half tempo (105 bpm instead of 210 bpm that's how it's typically notated), so it's basically two measures combined in one. In the "normal" tempo, it would be a measure of 4/4 and a measure of 5/8 that's slightly dragged (making it "21/32", but you should never notate it in that way, because that's horrible notation that makes you overthink it - in reality, it's 5/8 played slightly "late" if that makes sense). 4/4 = 8/8, and 8/8 + 5/8 = 13/8. Now let's halve the tempo again, and it becomes 13/16. This is definitely correct (it's simply notated in a twice as slow tempo with twice as fast note values). The 21/32 explanation overcomplicates a simple thing, and also misunderstands how it's actually felt. The band didn't feel it that way - they felt it as "short-long-long", but the last "long beat" is simply played a bit late. Yes, if you want to calculate it 100% accurately, it is 21/32. But nobody counts it that way, so that's not how it should be notated either.

[@flekkzo]

@@MaggaraMarine 👍 It’s just such an odd thing to play (not a drummer myself, in any proficient sense), but for some reason I have no sense of time and odd time signatures don’t feel odd. The feel I get when playing it on the guitar is that it’s cut off and the next bar starts very abruptly. Maybe the feeling when playing the drums are a bit different. As you say I don’t think the band prog rocked it out and calculated it. They just played :)

[@EMCproductions]

I had to manually edit the click track in that entire section. It was somewhere between 13/16 and 7/8 (neither lined up). Mathematically 27/32 is in between those, so maybe it's closest to that. But 13/16 is probably the easiest to understand on the sheet music.

[@pakxenon]

@@EMCproductions The 5/8 fills are all slightly shorter than it should be. Without the band or knowing the song by heart it's hard to deviate from the metronome.

[@Histgyph]

What metronome app are you using?

[@YoushouldNOW221]

What's the significance of 66.6? What does Metallica have to do with satan?

[@shadow105720]

Leave it to music majors or "professionals" to throw in 3/4 into a 5/4 instead of just letting the phrase go over the bar lines lol. Why two bars of 4/4 when you can 2/4-4/4-2/4 its so simple right? The 13/16 is probably right however.

[@iainlindsay6691]

Why are people making out that this track is somewhat difficult to play? An 8-year-old could play this without difficulty. It's full of unnecessary snare hits that typify Ulrich's drumming. As for obscure time signatures? that's because Ulrich couldn't keep rhythm with the rest of the band and so played his version of the tune out of time.
