Imagine being able to write a song about mullets...but you've got Josh fucking Freese on drums

[@paulthompson9432]

Josh Freese is a living legend. One of my biggest drum influences ever!!!

[@paulc9907]

hey your a drummer? do you think you could explain the sticking of the phil at 0:54? im newish to drums and its a little over my head...

[@craigmcfadden6538]

@@paulc9907 i use that fill in one of my bands songs....ya just do a 16th note pattern fill on the tom and floor tom and punch the 1,2,3,4 on the snare

[@bsm6776]

Josh is a legend.

[@Rfk1966]

Jesus, what a technique and at lightning speed. Gifted

[@somerandomdudeable]

Josh makes fast punk beats look so effortless

[@HarryJoiner]

1:39 - I love how self-aware Josh is. Watch him dampen the snare head going into the next part of the song.

[@Batigol99]

Always tight and precise. One of the best.

[@misfit2022]

One of the big 3 drummers in punk who are still able to play at the same speed and intensity as 20 years ago and all 3 with the same bands and either just over, at or just under 50. I stopped playing at these sort of speeds a long time ago but age seems not to have affected Josh, Erik and the benchmark for any punk drummer Byron. Where Josh Freese stands out is all the cool stuff he has done outside punk like those great rhythmic beats on NIN and A Perfect Circle for example. That is where you have to have more in your chop box than speed and that is what sets Josh Freese apart from other drummers.

[@joelherrera_dp]

I had the pleasure of being at this show! I was standing to the right of the camera guy. Great show!!

[@form1043]

I love watching Josh go back to his roots.

[@WhirlwindDrums]

The GOAT for punk rock drummers imo

[@rickabick1982]

but what about Derrick plourde ?

[@ericberghorn8987]

Derrick is one of my favorites, both Derrick and bomber. There's quite a few punk rock drummers that don't really get the recognition they deserve . Derrick's loved by the folks well versed in the genre, as far as drummers are concerned. John wright from the fantastic nomeansno doesn't get brought up, hardly at all, the dude was wonderful, very versatile. Then of course you have jord from propagandhi and Brendan Canty from fugazi too, I could go on and on, so I'll stop there.

God bless you Josh Freese

[@dostacos1]

Josh is the man.

[@dimitrisgoktsis5702]

A real king on the drums!!!

[@shaggyalonso]

Josh Freese owns Travis Barker, owns him.

[@rickabick1982]

you are funny mate !

[@samuelloomis1119]

Very true. That’s why he’s such a popular studio drummer. Such high demand and part of so many super cool bands. Travis just plays with crap bands and watches tv waiting for the phone to ring.

[@VictorNickel]

You can't diss Barker like that, listen to the Aquabats record

[@ethangriffin2328]

Samuel Loomis crap bands ?!!? Crap bands?! Do you know anything have you heard barker drumming it’s the best in the world he can play in many different styles including how he started in jazz drumming and hip hip drumming punk rock drumming and classic rock drumming he can play anything read his autobiography and watch videos of him playing this guy is very good amazing but Travis is 10 times better

[@David_Downs]

meh, I don't see why people make music competitive, they have their own thing.

[@losinground]

rock solid. human metronome.

[@rickneal4967]

"I've got an ape drape yes I do". That's better than anything Dylan ever wrote.....

[@vadcapunk7263]

one of my favorites

[@sebastiancuthbertmusic]

This stuff is so hard to play! Incredible

[@courtbeall7768]

Amazin, freakin amazing.

[@ParkingLotBacon]

The GOAT

[@marcoreactionary]

I wonder if that’s a 13” snare... he’s got the best technique and feel! ❤️

[@mhcdrum]

Yes! 🙌🏻🥁🙌🏻🥁💯🥁💯🥁💯🥁💯🥁💯

[@blahdblah0007]

Damn. Wow.

[@gator347]

smooth operator !!!!!

[@owiseone1]

This looks really hard

[@paulthompson9432]

HaHaHa

[@idiot1321]

It's not about being hard to play. It's about how to play tastefully and with the songs without sounding overdone or like a big show off party. Good drummers know that.

[@bobbowie9350]

Ironically, josh makes it look effortless.

fuckin amazing

Electronic Boy!

[@misfitjoe12]

Short in front in long back, Freese best

[@Joey-qb7mf]

Man, that dw snare has alot of pop. But then again it is punk.

[@inalavalamp]

The fact that he can play this, switch up gears, jump on a plane and play for the likes of Sting, NIN, Weezer, Social Distortion, Sublime w/ Rome, A Perfect Circle, is saying something.

[@daviru02]

Don't forget DEVO

[@inalavalamp]

@@daviru02 Of course! How could I?

[@Batigol99]

Slash, Evanescence, Avril, Paramore, Puddle Of Mudd, Suicidal Tendencies, Paramore, GNR, Offspring, Rob Zombie, etc. And even he's drumming for Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson. This man is drumming everywhere.

[@paulc9907]

could any drummers out there please explain to me the sticking at 24 seconds in...???? much appreciated !!!

[@somerandomdudeable]

Looks like it's just straight single strokes to me

[@davidwatson8080]

We'd have to be rocket scientists to explain it.

[@Blakeyhaha]

i got a mullet for these guys

[@JohnSmith-pp7ux]

Seriously!?! It would take a few minutes to put Josh's equipment list in the description and instead you direct us to your website where it's still not clear what exactly he is using on his kit. Ridiculous laziness by whoever is responsible for this video.

[@MatthewParsonsDrumsAndAudio]

Because there isn't a lot of info about exactly what he uses. I can understand that they could ask him or his tech, but usually that info is readily available online. I do know he plays DW Drums (probably a Collector's Series kit) and Paiste cymbals. Pasta's site has the cymbals he uses on his artist page.

[@remopercussion]

He is using different Remo drumheads because of Backline. We linked it to his profile which at the bottom list all the drumheads he usually uses along with accessories. There is also cards within the video that list the product used. We added drumheads used in the description as well.

[@JohnSmith-pp7ux]

Remo Inc. I appreciate that he may have some different drumheads than usual at any particular show depending on who is supplying his equipment. I just think that if you're promoting your drumheads (yes, I use Remo drumheads) that making it as easy as possible for consumers to know which heads are being played (or at least which are usually played) will help move more product. For some reason Zildjian also posts these types of videos and also does not list the equipment being used.

[@JohnSmith-pp7ux]

Matthew Parsons. I am aware that that information may be available somewhere else online, I'm just suggesting that if Remo is using these videos to promote their products they should make it super simple to learn what Remo products the artist is using. It's annoying to have to go hunting for the list of products when the product manufacturer could just spend an extra two or three minutes supplying that list in the description of the video promoting their products. Remo has now done so and hopefully will continue doing so in their future promos.
