METALLICA - Disposable Heroes - Drum Cover

[@josht9462]

I believe this is one of the most underrated metallica songs.

[@ErizotDread]

Not by any respectable guitarist, it isn't! lol This one was a bitch, especially including the solo.

[@JerryAsbury1985]

Lol which means Metallica are untouchable.

[@butternutter_requiem9038]

ErizotDread my dad told me he can't play this and I've seen him play literally every other song mad by this band up till hardwired

[@michaelzoorob8955]

No dude, this song is like, in their top 20 best metallica songs, and of course this song is one of the hardest on guitar because of that crazy in the verse, pre chorus, and the part after the intro.

[@mjf5382]

Underrated? Not even close. If you’re a real fan this song is top 5

[@JakobSanvig]

What a crazy drum track. Lars is for real. He can't perform this shit nowadays, but he actually wrote it! His drum tracks are definately among the best drum tracks ever composed in metal music. It's a joy to listen to drummers like Josh performing it live.

[@davidhealy4534]

Most of his other covers are great. I think this is the one he gets wrong though. good,but wrong.

[@geraldlz5827]

@@davidhealy4534 let see you play then

[@Ahnm1406]

​@@geraldlz5827 It's not hard to find differences when comparing with the original track just by having heard the song enough times. You don't need to be a drummer. Still, I don't consider them mistakes, as the differences actually added flavor and personality to the cover.

[@cooperlittlehales6268]

@@geraldlz5827 This is not a valid way of refuting criticism. One does not need to be able to do something to know when it is done wrong.

[@richardcombs1483]

your actually doing a great service to the drum community that would want to watch someone play these songs note for note so they can learn the little tactics you use when actually trying to learn these songs

[@joshsteffen]

My pleasure. I'm not always note for note but regardless, I can see how they are beneficial.

[@O.Gcarsten12775]

Josh Steffen are you not in a band? If not you definately should be! Great videos thanks for what your doing im actually learning from your videos mate KEEP IT UP

[@O.Gcarsten12775]

Josh Steffen sorry im 5 year late to your videos (i just noticed the dates lol)

[@mattmcclung29]

3:00 in, the double bass drum is genius. Love your videos dude, keep it up

[@dont.be.evil.]

1:09 that was pretty satisfying

[@dont.be.evil.]

agreed

[@urbanfarmsupply]

Haha I like that part too! I have KZbin Red so I oftentimes just listen to Josh's covers while I'm surfing of doing other stuff on my phone and I always make sure to click back so I can watch that part, and if I miss it, I'll start it over so I can see it. Cheers!

[@ashwilliams1091]

That's one of my all time favorite Metallica songs.... Sooooo underrated for a genius masterpiece like this!!! 👑🤘🏻👑🤘🏻

[@jordanhasch2544]

Level whatever charges you like at Metallica: they're greedy, money hungry, they've made bad music, "St. Anger", but don't deny them this one thing: when it comes to arrangements, they're in a class by themselves. Each section of this epic is brilliantly designed to evoke to horrors and sadness of war; the guitars sound like the cries of the wounded, the bass hovers over the battlefield like vultures scoping prey, and the drums ring out like "machine gun fire". Even after all the death/black/power/speed/folk/gothic/thrash metal I've (no doubt) killed brain cells to, this track still gives me a chill. And props to Josh here for getting right to the heart of the matter with some air-tight drumming; your double kick rings out like a death knell. Again; chilling.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Wow, you're hitting both toms at once in the beginning? I'm not brave enough, going to just do singles on the floor tom. hehe.

[@joshsteffen]

Whatever works!

Some rare early ride work from Lars. I usually don't like when guys put flairs in their covers, but that double bass fill with the cymbal mutes in the second verse was pretty badass.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks dude. I try to pick up on details but put a few things in.
