[@YuriFazio.]

[@dm40981]

BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS

[@Arilover-es4gr]

honestly Josh is more my drummer... he doesn't rely heavily on continuous sixteenth notes on the kick drum to be considered a good drummer it's more in his hands than his feet he is also more of that rhythm guy not speed guy which I admire he comes up with cool accent pattern on that hit hat and really uses all cymbals unlike most drum set drummers and comes up with cool groovy bass drum rhythms instead of fast fast fast, I feel like everybody just talks about skys groovy bass or Michael's cleans and screams or Tyler's cleans or AJs clean guitar work ad djenting rhythms I don't feel like the drumming gets enough praise but honestly love love Joshs style of drumming and he always looks happy playing this guy has got that rhythm that can make anybody happy keep up the good work Josh man! P.S. love the Pokemon drum set, 😂🔥

[@Arilover-es4gr]

+Corn :-P why thank you! :)

[@ClihtYeastwood]

Jesus, break up your sentences a bit you rambling muppet

[@JeffAMiller17]

That snare sounds so good!

[@rodneymunch4339]

This is some of the tightest drumming I've seen. I've watched Josh since his first videos and dear lord he is one of the best musicians around period. This band is SO fucking talented...

[@REMI-kun]

I like that he actually hits the center of the snare almost everytime!

[@shawnrosad]

Josh you are my inspiration I never got the confidence to play drums until I watched you now I'm playing my first gig thanks to you ❤️

[@matbronk1]

Panicatthechemicaldance full drum/bass/guitar transcription for issues - headspace album just got released on sheethappenspublishing.com, you should check it out if you still want to drum this sick song. I bought it and the first pages of this song are already awesome

[@YuriMuller]

This snare sound hits my soul beautifully.

[@1missing]

He's a joy to watch. Aesthetically pleasing style of drumming

[@ferraya2894]

Unbelievable! This band is so full of true talented musicians! Love this one, great job.

[@Pyromanen93]

That kit sounds so fucking crispy, oh my

[@patrickonastick_]

It's so great that they can still keep in touch with their fans through this even though they're busy with their tours and shit. Keep it up Josh and the rest of the band! Die hard fan here all the way from the Philippines 👍

[@Cell2677]

Wicked stuff man, love the fact you look like you actually enjoy yourself behind the drums.

[@P93kees]

Yo, I could watch this dude play drums all day!

[@leonard71]

That snare sounds like magic.

[@belenresto6269]

He's such a great drummer. For some reason I enjoy watching him play

[@thebaconflapsable]

Second best drum set i've seen yet.

[@jonathanwong8283]

+thebaconflapsable Is the best Matt Greiner

[@itsSwanRon]

Alex Shellnut from ADTR had an acorn kit, was dope as fuck hahaha

[@thebaconflapsable]

Shodoku Jonathan Wong No, it was the dude from We The Kings, he had a Back To The Future one where the bass drums sides opened up like wings and the whole thing lit up.

[@WickedTwitches]

These single instrument playthroughs are amazing. I hope you guys never stop them.

[@TonyMeloPlays]

That's the coolest drum set I've ever seen

[@DrumsandOtherStuff]

Each time I hear his snare I have a drumgasm. Its amazing. I want it.

[@omarleon5494]

I had to stop watching this mid video to say that those Pokemon drums made me so happy it's ridiculous and can add this to the reasons I love this fucking band.

[@ryandoli7781]

By far one of the best drum kits I have seen

[@Issues]

+Ryan Doli Catch the full Poke backline on Warped this summer!

[@ryandoli7781]

[@angelmartinez-nr5se]

Love that issues have their own distinct sound 💕

[@walwin]

So sick! In love with this drum tone

[@jasonwright4144]

Not only was this a great cover, but I've never heard so many genres of music blended so well into one song.

[@bretcollinstdm]

It's a play through! But, I agree on the blend. They are very rhythm oriented.

[@Barrettl]

love it josh, cant wait to see you guys live again!

[@jakegodfrey9292]

Josh is somethin' else. Hell of a drummer & a hell of a dude. So groovy.

[@rogerrobleto3190]

[@Arott2]

All hail Josh, the groove king

[@AstralFrost]

There's so much going on in this song. Funky.

[@toesuc]

One of the tightest drummers in this genre, so gooooood

[@davidterrazas500]

Those drum samples are sweet and your style fits Issues perfectly, I'm glad they picked you up after the Black Diamonds EP

[@WAstateofmind]

That kick is SO JUICY

[@DRaystumpy]

POKEMON DRUMS!?!?!? Amazing.....

[@StarShredder777]

I told myself I was just gonna watch a minute of it and see what else I could find. Yeah, I watched the whole thing.

[@ChrisCalyx]

That drum kit though! Josh is a menace with those sticks! Such a good tune.

[@ColtsFan2016]

When I played in a band a few years ago my kit was set up the exact same way as Josh’s. True drummer fanboy

[@MrDigitaldanny]

Please post more covers. Incredible.

[@JoshManuel]

+BPDrums Gonna be releasing a bunch more, glad you enjoyed it dude

[@alekseysky-daziel3283]

+Josh Manuel really tight man, love the snappy ness in the way you play, still trying to figure out the bit where you're riding on the China and move between the snare and floor Tom, would you mind doing an explanation ?

[@anzhang5732]

zildjian!!!!!beautiful

[@Drhardon4babes]

if you put a pedal pad on the front and back of the skin you'll get less distortion for faster kicks :D just a lil tip for anyone who jams

[@tanman3990]

switched to Zildjian? Glad to see that, now i just need to see a DW kit in front of you and you got it going! anyways, amazing playing dude, i remember watching you back when you did a mayday parade cover, to saosin, and now your here. i'm a drummer myself and watching you through the years gives me some hope for myself. haha

[@rockingoutally]

JOSH 🔥🔥🔥

[@adrianwoodruff2486]

So dope. Can't wait to see Sky and Ajs.

[@davidfore5428]

As crispy as it gets.

[@andrevillafria7670]

Dopest drumset ive ever seen!

[@andresdamont]

For those who needs the lyrics: Another waste of headspace I got dumb on the tracks Never knew the facts then I wised up For years I been toe to toe with the heavy weights Never thought I’d size up It’s got me thinking bout the rise up You said no strings attached and now you got me tied up You’re talking that shit, and you blowing that smoke But your card got declined at the nightclub Every single pointless conversation Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out I try to find the signs that might reveal the secret to what we’re missing But maybe time is all that we need now A blessing in disguise Or just broke and pitiful I don’t fuck with these mind games baby But if one thing’s right I saw with my own eyes I know your tricks Don’t act so proud I’m moving up While you’re slowing down I own it now You want it now And you can put it down hey But you’re nothing but a waste of headspace Every single pointless conversation Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out I try to find the signs that might reveal the secret to what we’re missing But maybe time is all we need now A blessing in disguise Or just broke and pitiful I don’t fuck with these mind games baby But if one thing’s right I saw with my own eyes Oh yeah, you’re a waste of space in my head.

[@kristinyu2316]

in love with your drum set!

[@kadenlawson2978]
