[@NJTRAF]

I'm always utterly mystified by drummers, i'm a guitarist but I have no idea how you guys always manage to stay so much in control of all four limbs trying to do different things at once! I can only manage to keep my legs in time OR my arms - I know drummers get shit sometimes but credit where it's due, it takes a lot of skill. Awesome videos as always Josh

[@joshsteffen]

+Nathan Thomas thanks

[@hyperbiscuit2284]

I have the exact same problem. Seriously! HOW DO YOU DO IT?!?!?!?!

[@Dejiek]

Honestly, if you learn a few techniques, patterns, and fills, it becomes pretty easy. I just picked myself up a drum kit, and it's not as bad as I thought! (I'm originally a guitarist)

[@rodolphschmirnoff2853]

One limb is always leading, a constant pattern.usualy whatever arm is your best, right hand lead or left hand lead. The other arm plays the snare, wich is based on a constant pattern , whatever else is based on that pattern. As for feet all patterns are based on root patterns wich only use 1/4 1/8 and 16ths notes to derrive main patterns. Everything else is practice and feel. Jazz fusion/ latin clavee beats and odd time signatures do take a long time to learn but it's still an extension of the basics. Sort of like building scaffolding. It's a fuckin blast even knowing only basic independance after a few years of smashing shit hehe

[@opticFPV]

Drummers are definitely impressive, but don't sell yourself short as a guitarist. Drummers are in control of all four limbs, and us guitarists may only use two limbs, but we're also in control of each of our fingers on our left hand :p

[@gumbleshumble6666]

[@88fanforlife]

Marc Faur the justice album as a whole had amazing drum tracks

[@thelegionary07]

I'm still not even convinced that it was Lars playing on this album... I mean, it's just so much different than the rest of the albums, and Josh even admits that Lars never stays true to his studio drums when he plays live... I personally think they hired someone to imitate Lars' style, because Lars probably couldn't handle it... Check out Lars playing drums to a Guitar Hero track... He couldn't even play the stuff off this album! Not to mention, they left songs off this album on the setlist for years because Lars couldn't play them.

[@awesomeness0111]

thelegionary07 how do you explain Seattle 1989?

[@thelegionary07]

He isn't loyal to a lot of his fills. They play the stuff sped up which covers mistakes. They didn't play Dyer's Eve at that show if I remember. A lot of the title track is easy, just memorization. Lars wasn't that good.

[@snarphunter]

6:02 Josh gives that "I'm about to put my own stank on this shit" look at the camera.... (in the best way possible)

[@nilsallen-bayes4215]

The fact that josh has mad respect for ulrich as a drummer makes all the haters redundant.. Yes ulrich has "dumbed" down his drumming... but never forget what his legacy is and the impact his drumming has had on aspiring drummers the world over.

[@larshetfield2156]

Not just that, he's probably the biggest Lars fan in the world!

[@JerryAsbury1985]

Lars is a self taught drummer from what I understand, & no matter how good he is or isn't, I'm always gonna have high respect for him. He's the drummer to the biggest band on the planet, so he's got talent.

[@GageHeibeck]

@@JerryAsbury1985 Lars also knows how to control the biggest (metal) band on the planet as well. Metallica wouldn't be where they are right now if it wasn't for Lars.

[@JerryAsbury1985]

Wow, watching you play this just reinstated my love for Lars!! Say what you want about him nowadays but back in the day he was as good as any drummer imo

[@jensharald9091]

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

Lars was good back in the day but he got lazy over the years and lost a lot of his ability.

[@cooliofoolio]

He's old, give him a break! Most bands have broken up by now

[@nikolaubtopou]

Not as good as any drummer, better than most of them. IMHO

[@ugsdit5296]

@@cooliofoolio nah, a lot of dudes from that time are still going very strong, for example lombardo. Lars and the rest of metallica just kinda suck live nowadays, they play sloppy and their tone for some reason is absolutely horrible

incredible chops. Lars is a fascinating drummer w/ his arrangements.

[@severinmanage7428]

One of the example, where Lars makes more music than rhythms with the drums. By the way, excellent performance Josh, as usual.

[@grantwhite4201]

Dude that breakdown cut-time beat you did @6:05 was sick as fuck! Lol, and I had a feeling you knew we would like it too with that smirk to the camera right beforehand! 😆 Great cover though man, big fan!

I noticed something different at that time, but awesome like you said lol.

[@retrolightman6737]

I didnt get it lol just didn't sound right to me. Everything else was fantastic

[@TyDie85]

I love how you throw your own flare on the songs. It gives your videos even more character.

[@soloangel7773]

Definitely some of Lar’s best work, I like how he utilizes the whole drum kit! I’m used to Lar’s only knowing about the Snare and Bass😂

[@tehagent1321]

Justice, RTL and Master drums are great with Justice being the *by far* best IMO. Black and later they seem to just get 'simple'.

[@lazarefilms9290]

Love that improvised breakdown part Josh!

[@slycordinator]

First time I heard their demo version of this song, I couldn't stop laughing throughout. They'd finished the music and the vocal melodies/timing, but hadn't gotten to writing lyrics yet and had a deadline for sending off the demos, so all the vocals are James singing variations of "na-na-na-na".

[@dontbeeh8in]

I always play the air drums to this song. Glad I found this to get my moves correctly. Nice job man!

Thanks buddy.

[@elielsilva7432]

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks! I enjoy hearing when people pick up on the little things. There's usually one big thing I'll slip in on Metallica songs.

[@mattvdh]

This dude goes to show how great of a drummer Lars was in the 80's. People won't let the napster thing go but forget all that, his drumming is godly.

[@ALAL-zn9pv]

Could you please do the Metallica cover for Am I Evil?

[@MrHands-gk9zi]

This was my first video of watching you. I just sat there and laughed for a minute and a half when you pointed at the cymbals after lightly tapping them. Amazing covers. Keep it up. -Chandler

[@budgethitman2212]

Oh my God that guitar fill or whatever guitarists call it at 5:53 is fucking amazing. My favorite part of any Metallica song, which is saying a lot.

[@sampeake4235]

During the pre-chorus Lars did a hi hat bark and I don't think you noticed Josh But great drumming

[@tehagent1321]

This is one of my all time favorite songs; like top 3 maybe #1...seeing the drums to it being played makes it even better. Guess I better get to practicing - just got a drum set but only have very little experience.

dude, its not an issue of what you can play an more, it what you cant play. and from what i've seen there's nothing you cant play. Going from saved by the bell to seinfeld to metallica, im always floored! I work second shift at my job and when I get home at 1 in the morning I always see what you got up next. Your shit just gets me right, bro. Keep it man, you always got fans!

[@timmymaher7562]

Goddammit...For.the 10,000 times I heard that song...watching u play drums to it was one of the best listens ever to Metallica song..great shit Josh!!!!!

[@Izerman13]

I have been one leg over the fence about buying a kit for years. The last 2 years I followed that same feeling and starting getting serious about photography. Talk about fire for the soul! With everything going on in the world today it makes me appreciate the moments where you forget how ugly the world and people can be but forget all of that gawking at how amazingly gorgeous our planet is. You remind me to always look to my fellow human for inspiration. The inspiration I feel when I watch you play has made me come to a decision. I have lived in apt's for 20 years. I shiver at the thought of buying an electric kit as I can' t have an acoustic. Suggestions????

[@MaynardJamesKeenan09]

My favorite Metallica song. So technical and proficient. I love lars Hi Hat work on this song

Not the biggest fan of break downs. It wasn't bad, I'm just not as into it. Amazing cover though. Your covers have been amazing for me as someone who knows jack shit about drums, but also writes metal music and wants to write complex drum parts. Your shortest straw cover has been the most helpful by far.

[@KBXband]

Coming from a drummer, it's not hard to play this. It IS hard to learn it though especially the intro and the little double kick bursts but after a while they become second nature. Quite possibly my favorite song on the album aside from Blackened.
