METALLICA - Disposable Heroes (kind of drum cover)

[@rohitlalwani8792]

Let's be honest, the 'fist and nod' gesture that Josh does in all the videos before playing is absolutely badass!

[@MrErikwade]

Yeah, it's like he is saying ( hey guys check out this shit I just made. Check it out. Then at the end it's like, (. See, see, pretty fuckin cool huh.)

[@unremind]

I think he also makes a weird clicking sound with his mouth. That means he is pleased with his performance. Sometimes he gives a half ok hand gesture if he messed up a little.

[@gemarrs]

i take the fist as "i think i nailed it", and in some videos, he wiggles his hand to say "i think i could've done a bit better"

[@Skidtire]

+MrErikwade most true comment i've seen

[@xwinglover]

About to comment same thing. Then found your comment

[@leandrometfan]

0:15 i know it's the same riff, but it sound completelly different just by changing the drums

[@tuomas.heikkila]

Leandrometfan this riff starts to sound like bodies by drowning pool😂

[@squidsquirthd2684]

usually i think Lars' drumming serves the song better than this type of stuff but this makes this song soooooooo fucking good

[@mutoit10]

Try adding some naruto flute sound

[@gamesandguitars3901]

Leandrometfan it gets a very groovy vibe instead of pure thrash

[@ロボロボ-p7h]

I will never listen to the intro the same way I used to damn

[@mattjns]

the double bass following the guitar at the start is SO fucking sick dude.

[@TheArnienator]

Yeah it's a straight middlefinger to Lars claiming he follows James' guitar.

[@arcanehornet]

I'm very impressed with this cover, and I can't stop listening to it. I appreciated the original, but the way your drums enhance the song is incredible. you have definitly got a gift. you keep pounding on those drums, and ill gladly keep listening. I'm seriously amazed.

[@joshsteffen]

+andrew Stevens thanks

[@joelouisytuartejr.1924]

I concur

[@wastedtime9719]

5 years later, I'm still pretty convinced this is one of the best drum interpretations on youtube. freaking nailed it

[@multiestonian]

Josh ''i'm only good at short bursts of double bass'' Steffen God i love this man's ambition and dedication.

[@williamdejesus9217]

This man woke up and chose to be a god. This will forever be my favorite video

[@phil_aesthetics]

i cannot find anything better as far as metallica drum covers on youtube you are the man

[@lavenspace22]

Every once in a while I come back to this, and every single time I'm blown away, great job, Josh!

[@emperoring112]

I really really like this one! I'll be honest with you man, with all the "Lars Ulrich versions" "Nicko Mcbrain Versions", "Mike Portnoy" versions etc, i love em all, but i would actually like to see some "Josh Steffen" versions and see what twists you could put on some songs like this one! Just a thought, once again though awesome job man!

[@joshsteffen]

+emperoring112 I'm glad to see so many people wanting more of these "kind of" drum covers! I have more drumless metallica songs and considered speeding some up, specifically from the first 2 albums, and freestylin over them.

[@emperoring112]

+Josh Steffen Awe man, you could totally do it! I think it's a great idea! I think it's clear you're already a phenomenal drummer, I like these cause we get to see more of your creative side as a dummer which I think is totally badass! I think you should do it!

[@alexkaplan6581]

+Josh Steffen ride the Lombardo

[@Jarqueivies]

You really should man, this is so epic and I really wanna hear your original drumming on these songs!

[@tonypascale5317]

You took a masterpiece of a song and made it better through your drumming. Wow!

[@1969ryson]

I have to admit that you are the only person who does these "drum covers" that I actually enjoy. You are really good and have a very enjoyable style. Keep up the good work!!!

[@dannyak-_4603]

Awesome remake! Great job

[@Cyberonn1]

Man, I really like watching you playing this song. I loved other Disposable covers of yours but this one is something different. I hit the like button after that killing part starts at 0:39. Such a great redo that I couldn't ever guess. Please continue this ''kind of drum cover'' stuff ;)

[@gregyule2053]

Considering you can play as well as all the "best" drummers ever....you sir ARE the best drummer ever!

[@maclancastermusic4757]

This has to be my favorite video of yours. This is my favorite Metallica song and you managed to make it even better. Thank you for doing what you do, Josh.

[@patrickstuhlen2622]

kick ass !! nice addition of double bass kick

[@pickleh9017]

6:58 is next level

[@yordanvesselinov4235]

There is NOT a Metallica fan who wouldn't like your "kind of cover"! Pure talant dude!

[@heshwuan]

Impeccable timing on a very intensive piece of music, and on a drumless track it sounds fucking amazing. Those tom fills are so good.

The slow double bass part in the beginning from 00:16 to 00:30 was an awesome idea. Fit like a glove

[@spartanxciv5976]

Holy shit, those groves in the beginning were unexpected yet fantastic, as was everything else. Superb job man!

[@anthonybaker8027]

Thats straight up amazing bro!

[@PhantomLordNYC]

This was really awesome. I forgot what the song sounded like live with out a china ride lol. Also I bet if James heard this he would say "so thats what it sounds like in time" ha.

[@jayvalle50]

haha fail

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

like that time he heard another band playing creeping death and he said that that was so funny

[@Graylegs]

Hell yeah, Josh :) Killed it! The flavour you put on the intro is just awesome.

[@virgildantefrazier1]

Josh is gonna keep effing around here and end up being like Robert Trujillo. Who better to better to become part of a band than a big fan of the band. That ending (plus the entire song as well) had stage presence all over it....with the nice acknowledgement of the crowd enjoying the ass-kickery they just watched. Lol...I'm half serious here....Josh you effing rock brotha!!!

[@squidsquirthd2684]

mate just say the fuck word

[@ricosalvaje4388]

[@jordanhasch2544]

OK! I get it now! The fill just after "Back To The Front" seems so simple now...now that I slowed the playing speed down to 0.50. He's playing a mix of tom and double-kick to complete the fill. GOT IT!

[@joshsteffen]

That's how i play it, at least. Whatever gets me through the cleanest.

[@jordanhasch2544]

@@joshsteffen OK. Thank you so much for replying. That fill has always stumped me no end, even more so than those on "Dyers' Eve", where it's both speed AND fills.

I love playing this song on either bass or rhythm guitar, but by 6-7 minutes I am dead. I wanted to see how someone would do it on drums, you made it look easy. Nice.

[@juanjosesi]

+Josh Steffen ... I'm a big fan of what you do. I wish I could play at least half of what you play. I loved the improvisation at minute 0:18 ... This song already made history along with the band in the way that the original piece is almost a sainted thing to me but... this shit is really amazing. Keep the work up. Regards and love from Madrid.

[@joshsteffen]

+Juanjo Civit ;) thanks

[@KillersProduction777]

(as TheFaceKiller) Nice... Thats how the drumming in that song should go.
