He's playing fast while hitting hard with weight dynamics and great accents ! not very many drummers of this genre paid attention to those details that's why Metallica sounded miles ahead than anybody else back then .

[@BulletFever1]

I always appreciated that about his drumming. I will say, it feels odd to hear him playing in live shows all the way back to the mid 90s... It's like he doesn't hit his hi-hat every second time, like you can tell he is but it's not a consistent volume like I think it should be for the songs he's playing. It gets buried in the mix. It goes back to his weight dymanics thing, I think he might be overdoing it on the hi-hats, but that's just a small nitpick I suppose.

[@ViciousMandy32]

and even today, not many drummers seem to be able to do this, which is probably why Metallica still sound ahead of everyone

[@mrgaragesome-o1540]

#1 for younger folks. This was 1985. Lars was not the only thrash drummer but this was a very new style of playing and compared to other drummers at the time - he had style and you could tell it was him. #2 what we all can and cannot do (or want do not want to) do in our 40's and 50's physically should not diminish what we did in our 20's. I don't see people going "Joe Montana WAS good but he SUCKS now". #3 For a band that was playing this style of music where precision was important - it probably would not really sound right if there were not human elements - imperfections. Doesn't anyone understand this at this point? Other drummers were and are more precise - which is a credit to them. There are some great Beatles records with lots of human error that make the music more real though for example. I think Lars gets beat up pretty much for one reason - his personality.

Anything after Lars met Bob Rock is all waste. He doesn't even try to play whats on the album live which in my mind is a complete and total rip-off to the fan who fell in love with what's on the album.

[@XDlosDominicans]

Omfg... There's a HUGE difference in style between Iron Maiden and Metallica. Iron Maiden has simple drum beats and Nicko doesn't even use double bass whereas Lars often uses double bass and complex (well, more than Iron Maiden) beats...

​@@shallex5744 he's executing double kick drum triplets which is a rhythmic pattern and in some cases working tom and snare fills into the rhythm which takes immense skill.

[@DamonMacready]

This is an energetic line of great ideas, and Lars' approach to the song is very musical. As a drummer through decades, I've heard drummers able to hit every 32nd beat on every subdivision, yet sounding stale, not showing creativity or liveliness. I never cared about well-trained drummers capable of sounding like they've been quantized in Protools. Add to this that Lars' performance wasn't edited, unlike many modern players whose beats are being mixed around, best bits and sounds copy/pasted etc. If the zest and musicality is present, I'm willing to enjoy a 99.9% hit/miss ratio performance!

Jealousy is not automatically the basis for critique. You don't have to be a chef to know what shit food is. Yet there are so many here that think you have to be a drummer to know what you are talking about, most of you who say stuff like "prove it otherwise shutup!" are probably not drummers either. The drumming to Battery is awesome and it fits the song perfectly, but it doesn't require any special amount of stamina (none with good technique) and it doesn't require cocaine! I'm a death metal drummer and this is basic metal drumming that any metal drummer with enough practice can achieve within a pretty short amount of time.

[@JSercanYacan]

Because, left ear good for bass sounds and right ear good for treble sounds.I do not know why left ear good for bass probably relationship brain things what ever. So that is why write L,R on every headphone

[@LightningJackFlash]

***** The reason for that is because if you listen to the record in front of two speakers of your standard hi-fi home system or car audio, you have the impression of standing in front of the band live. It is panned this way simply to make you feel like you were standing in front of them, I mean in front of Metallica or any other band playing. This way you will hear Lars' bass drums like you were standing in front of him - his right bass drum is the left one from your perspective, and his left one is to the right from your perspective. His hi-hat is panned to the right channel also, well, not in this song particularly, beceuse he plays here mainly his second hi-hat which is to the right of him in his kit, so you would see it on your left side as you stand in front of drums, so particularly here you hear it more in the left channel). As well as all of his drums and cymbals. It's the same as with the guitars - James tracks are in the left channel with a little in the right one, Kirk's rhythm tracks are in the right channel. Actually they always play this way live, so that Kirk is seen on our right, right? And James' amps and speakers are on the right side of the stage, our left side, you know. It is done to simply make the record sound as live as possible. Every band is recorded this way, Slayer too :) I haven't heard for it was panned panoramically that way because left ear is better for bass, I don't know everything though ;)

I’m not on the “Lars sucks” bandwagon and would never be. Metallica wouldn’t and couldn’t exist without him. But at this point in time, he was on his way to becoming a really, really solid metal drummer. You look at footage from the puppets tour and he was DESTROYING it every night. It was only after the Bob Rock influence started that he dialed it back and started laying down a lot of backbeats. I’m convinced that’s a big part of the reason that this side of his playing started to suffer as the 90s progressed. If you don’t practice and develop this stuff, you can lose your consistency pretty easily...as any musician knows.

I wonder if he decided to use Trigger, I'm sure every metallica fan going to get wet after finishing Battery, Damage Inc, or even Dyer Eve.

You know if you listen to a lot of Metallica live performances in the mid to the end of the eighties were sometimes faster then on the record. So yes this is Lars.
