The Drummer That Should Always Be

[@TheDoomGuy420]

megahurtz30 underrated comment

[@crustybmx5305]

The Drummer That Never Was

[@whosline07]

I didn't think it was possible, but you made this song even heavier.

[@godhammer2090]

ive never seen a drummer who improvises with this much control in a way that doesnt take anything away from the song like this before well done you spiced those fills up really well

[@joshsteffen]

God Hammer Thanks man.

[@rayroc480]

listen to Lars live he improvises on all of his own song's (live) but yea Josh definitely kills it!

[@johnnydaggers7649]

Anytime I jam w a new guitar player I always use the lars technique it's the easiest groove to improvise w and always have fun with

[@netogiovanelli6130]

We're going to make a social media campaign so Metallica can watch Josh's videos and audition with him to be part of the band, to replace Lars at some shows. Share the channel of Josh until you reach the Metallica staff, please !!! JOSH YOU ARE THE BEST METALLICA COVER OF THE WHOLE WORLD !!! I'm your biggest fan and I'm from Brazil! You rock!!!

[@joshsteffen]

+Neto Giovanelli ;)

[@charlieburleson3310]

love this cover. Especially the improv half-time breakdown at 4:44. Definitely my favorite song off of MoP.

[@groledo]

Yup: nearly unscrewed my neck off headbanging to that...

[@josht9462]

It looked like he was just doing this as if it were as casual as taking a shit. He had all of his techniques sorted out and it played so well

[@joshsteffen]

+josh t ;)

[@sagan1976]

Best and heaviest song from Metallica. Great cover.

[@tamerkucukel1680]

Heaviest? No no no

[@jakobe1251]

Bruno Santos it's one of the heaviest

[@chrisberry5714]

For me this and leper messiah are the heaviest!

[@jhamilton1007]

chris berry Yep

[@eriond3701]

fight fire with fire is their heaviest

[@AWESOMECHANNELHD]

Excellent drummer. Excellent channel!

[@matheus_pansonato]

5:35 crazyy Very good man !!!

[@federiickel10]

I really miss thoes kind of covers!!! Fantastic drummer

[@ederkavera]

THE BEST DRUM FROM KZbin. MetallicA SAD BUT TRUE COVER. THANKS.

[@joshsteffen]

Good one.

[@ederkavera]

I LIKE SAD BUT TREU, DRUM COVER.

[@juliotironi3134]

This is actually satisfying to watch cause the playing fits the song so well... Great Josh!!

[@michaelbrown3128]

I think we all know Josh Rules! But I bet you would be surprised if I told you all his crash cymbals are Wuhan, including not as surprising his china is too. That's what happens when then make them out of the same alloy as most professional cymbals. I watched him give a tour of his kit. They are so much cheaper too!

[@samantasilvano3131]

Beautiful Josh! thanks for playing this song! is one of my favorites!

[@joshsteffen]

;)

[@samantasilvano3131]

Josh Steffen excellent and extremely hard, you can not ask for more to heavy metal!

[@lRekol.S.T.]

dude amazing cover, greetings from argentina! :D

[@Hamzoni96]

1:50 that was awesome

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

This is kinda my favorite song from master of puppets, i also have a drum kit and your videos has been a perfect guide for me, great job, greetings.

[@joshsteffen]

Excellent

[@calin3983]

5:03 - That flow on the cymbals, nice fucking rhytm!

[@monickalynn4365]

One of my favorite drummers on KZbin along with drummer Paul Gherlani! Great cover as always!\m/

[@undefBehav]

Gotta love those facial expressions! (such as the one @ 4:57) Another solid work bro, keep it up!

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks

[@multiestonian]

Emre Akı Just like Lars! :)

[@crazytallicafux]

These videos give me so much joy being a drummer. I remember a year ago i found your channel and you actually motivated me to get back into drums after a few years break. You're a legend Josh!

[@joshsteffen]

Great!

[@swagent_]

Compared to other Drum Covers yours are definitely the best (at least in Terms of playing Metallica)

[@hjzai7516]

It's amazing man..I listen to this video almost everyday to play like you..👍👍👍

[@migdaliarodriguez4289]

[@joshsteffen]

Great dude

[@Hamburger338]

Awesome like always!

[@autaut992]

My favorite Metallica song… nailed it! 🤘🏻

[@petterhudin5092]

Haven't seen this one before. God damn it's a sick rendition while still staying true to the Larsisms!

[@cycleseatcar]

[@Tommyv0620]

[@alexalexander6204]

[@nasttynas1]

[@jaymzb1979]

Nicely done. Nice.

[@whathefuckdood]

I swear, I can feel the power of your hits through these headphones. Good job, bringing that HEAVY!

[@joshsteffen]

:D

[@dobermandude2522]

Dude you are a intense drummer. I'm not a drummer, I am a guitarist, but I know a killer drummer when I hear them. And you are killer!

[@brianglover9317]

My god......u make it sound sooo good dude......

[@chuckdeezul2180]

"Hunter of the shadow is RISING....... IMMORTAL........... IN MADNESS YOU DWELL" Thanks again for this Josh Steffen. I really dig the pounding of this track and you did it well... As usual! And no need to shrug your shoulders.

[@Corentinbes]

Impressive how you can always stay so precisely on the tempo while still filling and enhancing the song. Great job!

[@PablouxDD]

your drumming skills are awesome. outstanding cover as always dude!. cheers from chile!

[@jordenbearer1042]

I'm getting a double base drum set for christmas mayby u should have a tutorial on how to use other wise awsome video man

[@joshsteffen]

I get a lot of requests for that. Not sure if I can be very helpful there. I'll try to come up with something..

[@svartmat7585]

hats off to you man, great improv

[@O.Gcarsten12775]

WOW, BIG respect you smashed this, proper talent, loved it!!! Which i could play like this still learning maybe i'll get there only been playing 18 month. Just 1 thing wish you could show the foot work aswel

[@BruceCopperfield]

Hi, Josh! What do you think about Lars drumming nowadays?

[@chrissimpson8360]

Amazing cover as always. Would love to see your older ones uploaded again in HD as the quality doesn't do them justice :)

[@joshsteffen]

Like battery, metal militia, fight fire... That stuff?

[@chrissimpson8360]

Josh Steffen Yeh & from other bands too like Anthrax - Medusa, Morbid Angel - Where the Slime Lives. You got a knack for choosing awesome covers.

[@joshsteffen]

Chris Simpson I redone where the slime live in HD with some friends of mine. You can find it in my collab playlist.

[@jeshua2155]

Me vuelvo locoooo!!!!!!!!

[@YanIsTheBest]

Are the specs of this kit somewhere to be found?

[@emilk.6431]

Those toms are 8" 10" 12" and 16" floor tom. Snare is 14x5" and 20" bass drum. I watched his drum tour.

[@kevinpeguero1176]

You’re amazing

[@cameroncopher9686]

Your covers are amazing man

[@antonioulrichjordison5281]

I have to say you're amazing. I also played drums and I always come to view your videos. Good job :D

[@joshsteffen]

Thank you

[@weescott1997]

Just a suggestion but i think it would be cool if you put all 3 of your rack toms together on top of your bass drum, i don't have 3 rack toms myself, but when i do that's what i'm going to do. :D

[@joshsteffen]

I've tried but don't like it. Everything else needs to get moved then. I see it as a set with two rack toms but another one outta the way in case it's needed.

[@stevenisradical4934]

my god man! you're such an amazing drummer! I'm getting my Double-Bass drum set for Christmas and you're definitely the person I look up to when I picture myself drumming! could you maybe play That Was Just Your Life? love that song! anyways, keep up the amazing work my man!

[@DavidTasche]

Dude That was kick ass!!!!!!!!

[@Kropikovo]

Loved that!

[@OnVentUK]

Very enjoyable!

[@maxquintus6547]

Your kit sounds really nice & oldschool ^-^

[@DeniedByFate]

Damn your covers are so awesome.

[@blueswolverine]

man your splash is awesome...also your skills

[@kyra0017]

Love your vids and love METALLICA!!! If you ever do requests mine would be Outlaw Torn. Im more a fan of older albums but from load, its the drumming that keeps drawing me to that song.

[@joshsteffen]

Yeah that one is pretty cool. There are some fun songs on that album.

[@matiascastro9285]

SO GOOOOOOOD, bro you are the master ¡¡¡¡¡!!!!!

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks dude.

[@jhamilton1007]

This looks like it's a fun song for you to play. Good job!

[@shamicentertainment1262]

Never seen a drum cover of yours without the background before

[@emilk.6431]

I first though he plays in real studio, before I saw some of these videos that doesn't has the background curtain

[@shelbya.everett3355]

That half-time beat was so heavy! Bad ass brother!

[@kolossalskrimp]

You made an already heavy masterpiece exponentially better. All props to you.

[@jeiysonhymmer2390]

Great job on this tune man. I love to check out your take on all of the songs to choose to cover. Whats up with Garage days man? I have always looked around for your covers particularly but cannott find them. Would like very much to hear them when you make them because i am absolutely positive that everyone wants to hear them too!! Thanks!!

[@electricfire7]

i could listen to your drum covers all day..love the fucking faces you pull! :D

[@jakelucas5588]

That was awesome man, probably watched it 50 times in the past year. On a different note, that is one of Kirk's best guitar solos in my opinion.

[@stpeteitsok]

Dude I've watched it like 6 times now lol great playing bro.do you have twitter or Facebook?

[@joshsteffen]

Both yes. Twitter @steffen_josh

[@emilianomicieli1813]

The best interpreter of metallica on drums, you could not do "Lords of summer" or "When a blind men cries" a cover of deep purple? You are the best ! Greetings from Argentina

[@joshsteffen]

I get a lot of requests for lords of summer. Eventually I'll do that one and every other Metallica song.
