Josh Freese drumming "Letting You" live with NIN

For a guy that doesnt warm up before shows this kicked my ass every night 2nd in the set. Also, it's a miracle I never had a seizure from the light show while trying to concentrate on this stuff. No added effects when I edited it together. You're basically seeing what I was seeing every night behind the kit.

[@EnglishSteel2347]

Josh isn't the most technical double bass, melt your face, 300 BPM death metal machine. But, he's the most versatile drummer in the world. LOVE his work.

[@janvanbiljon1722]

Jeez it's exhausting just to watch those 16ths on the hi-hat. Insane.

[@JuiKuen]

The fact that these were two hour plus shows on that tour and with some insane drumming that NIN songs have, it just makes you admire not just the skills, but the endurance this man and drummers in general, have.

[@drummerboynz]

Cyborg drummer caught on camera - no way a human can be this accurate, consistent and powerful

[@midairman]

What are you? A machine? This is probably the most badass drumming I've ever seen.

[@SeeuauntieG]

Such a great drummer. I saw him play a show with a perfect circle and he had a cast on his foot. Couldn't even imagine.

[@princereznor1]

my favorite drummer in popular rock music

[@jeffyneedsanap]

Thank you Mr Freese for being such a musical badass.

[@Terri2799]

WOW!!! You don't really appreciate the stamina it takes to drum until you see it up close like that, and hes doing that for at least a couple of hours. Hes amazing.

[@icaza44]

UNREAL! Dude is a machine

[@tonystark341]

That drummer is a animal, so much raw energy.

[@Jarrett329]

Dave and the Foo's are damn lucky to have you aboard Josh!! Go tear shit up brotha!!!

[@asirianinagony]

i think i could watch a whole set from these angles.

[@00inthistwilight00]

This is fucking awesome

[@StupidityKills]

I want more! I could seriously watch an entire concert like this.

[@rocco036]

Forearms of fire! Fucking amazing, fills at the end are unbelievable. Love how he goes from looking like he's having a slow dance with the sticks to a killing machine!

[@StraisSounds]

Unique unbelievable and... we want MORE!!!!!!! Love you Josh!!! Stoned!!

[@drunkship12]

Man that Chorus beat is so intense. An arm burner for sure. Respect

[@mainliner181]

1/4 to 1/8 to 1/16. Love you Freese

[@JoshLing]

The worldwide fandom of Foo Fighters WELCOMES YOU!!!!

[@mrgorgun]

dude makes this look like childs play lol

[@TimAndEricAreTheBest]

@trecoolmania When you listen to the original electronic version and then compare what Freese plays you'll see that he plays an even more complex part than what a computer had originally played. He is more creative, more aggressive and appropriate than anybody could even make up on an electric pad. I love Josh Freese.

[@maxwellblackburnadeaux9845]

Fucking DOMINATING the Reznor playing field in style. I can't believe how impeccable your performing is with the NIN, Freese. This is stellar video footage! (coming from a crazy mofo who saw multiple performances... thanks for your intensity!!) Brings back fond nostalgic memories of getting sardine-canned in those outrageous moshpits... damn fun times. :D

[@henchwang]

Those 16 beats are fucking amazing!

[@Jamie-Keys]

DUDE!!!!!! This shit is not easy, my left hand has an aneurism every time I play this, even after warming up

[@ChanceWantsYouDead66]

I love the way his snare sounds.

[@alexpressure944]

Insane

[@ThaTruth223]

[@Slurpee1012]

Your more of a magician than a drummer.

[@toskito11]

No cabe duda... No se necesita tanto virtuosismo.para ser.un buen musiko

[@bullsfan93]

i want to see ghost piggy from theses angles because the drum solo at the end is awesome

[@nedyankov7027]

You brilliant bastard! 🥲

[@The48Bishop]

Thats Bad Assed Mr. Freese.

[@simonlloyd2824]

I'm sweating just watching this. Josh, you are killing it behind the skins, man!

[@Leartiest]

FUCK YES! TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!

[@TheBenedictsBand]

This guy is not a HUMAN ! Josh fucking Freese!!

[@jakelomas007]

[@recind75]

[@stevemccart9109]

When Josh told me about this gig I was more exited then I was about all his others. I was not disappointed . he and the band were great.

[@privilegeunderground3429]

You’re the best mastered!!!

[@pinktrashxxx]

Amazzzing!! Best drummer nin ever had

[@drumsbykevin]

the sickest shit! the chorus is brutal on the hi hats! so damn clean. you are ridiculous man, straight up fucking ridiculous!!!

[@gregrohsful]

Monster

[@PhilDrizums]

@legroscrisse Josh is using an acoustic kit, however he does use the 4 Pintech pads above the floor toms in some of the songs.

[@MurderBong]

WHEN THEY USED A STOBE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON HIGH SPEED 😂 LIKE A TIMING CHAIN

[@bererboy01]

fucking awesome

[@1misterdrifter]

thanks for filming the stuff and sharing - its a major contrast seeing you play behind Trent and meeting you at Eric and Kelly's party - you're one funny bloke

[@VaughnDingus]

I hope you post the video of Head Down, that beat is so freaking sick!!

[@gsimable]

Whoa!!!!

[@J0intV3nture]

if i had more hands, i'd give this drumming four sticks up :) always a pleasure to watch you perform

[@TimElfring]

He plays it so TIGHT!

[@bigshaun67]

nine was great in their prime tight as hell live and yeah josh can play

[@311Vision]

Trent, you made a VERY wise choice in a drummer to take on the road with you!

[@nickcds3419]

Fuckin awesome. I love the description

[@nandachris]

I'm with the nightmare comment. What a commitment you have on those industrial beats every night

[@oliverl89]

People in the comments comparing him to whoever don't seem to aknowladge that he slaps the shit out of the snares every time and he's perfectly on tempo. He hit's the shit outta the drums like no other drummer while still perfectly on tempo. That's his thing and he does it like anyone else.

[@haydendraycott7897]

0:19 THE M&M'S ATTACK...

[@JonahRocksOfficial]

AWESOME! Will show Jonah, might see a NIN - JF drum cover. :)

[@dpmeinhold]

Uuhh, Josh, I think your camera is broken. It keeps speeding you up to inhuman levels throughout the set...

[@brandonplaysdrum]

Nice to see Josh flex some 16ths. Great opprotunity to use some speed that I always knew was there.

[@arthurtrexler6306]

OMFG 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@rith5]

Two nights of footage used with one night's audio, based on his comments [IIRC] from the Wish video. [NOTE the black wristband/strap on his right hand in the shots from the back/left.]

[@ChanMorgan]

Great Oden's Raven!

[@richardblabla]

[@DenisCooguy]

[@EdwoodCA]

@PogoMojo This is a blend of clips from two nights at the same venue, using one night's audio. [Based on his comments [IIRC] from the Wish video.]

[@dragoslavs]

Like³!

[@LeondP]

@ssmodk :) That's exactly what I think every time, too! Thank god I have a very cool teacher who I can show these videos every time and he (tries) to teach me to play (a little bit) like Josh ;)

[@rensq]
