METALLICA - Dyer's Eve - Drums Only

[@tong_levin]

There is one thing I particulary like about Lars drumming - while listening only to the drum track you can tell in which part of the song you are.

[@johnnybongo69]

Lars is like Ringo Starr of heavy metal 😃

[@MetallicaLiveHD]

Congrats to 100K bro.

[@joshsteffen]

+MetallicaLiveHD thanks ;)

[@PooplexCanal]

and now for another milestone you should play Whiplash by Metallica from Live Sh!t, Seattle 1989!!

[@tiles3458]

yes fuck yes

[@johansonpaco2255]

Ha makes it look so easy

[@johansonpaco2255]

He*

[@effes514]

Because it is

[@manipreferchicken4083]

Hades 23 no

[@kxle3918]

Hades 23 it’s definitely not easy, but if you’ve been playing for a while and good with double bass then you pick it up quick

[@shariel9731]

@Elijah Vowels Thy is also a drummer. I would say the song it's self is easy enough to learn . But it's the double bass which you need endurance for.

[@brodywise4750]

You're the only person I've seen play this song that doesn't struggle playing this song especially the fast double bass. I know this isn't an easy song to play by any means but your cover is the best of any drummer I seen play it (Including myself). Keep it up. Love the channel

[@undango]

You’re like a machine … unbelievable

[@TheMetalchord]

Best youtube drummer Watching your videos for 2 years, that's amazing

[@christopherallen5603]

Dude you're a machine

[@enforcerathletics]

This is a pretty emotional song for me

[@intwernet]

Raising the horns for you Josh! Absolutely oustanding job there.. keep up the great work, you are awesome.

[@ascendancy4900]

Kickass.

[@stekmundjacobson9298]

Finally! I have been waiting for a long time! You nailed it man!

[@aaroneclipse]

Wow....one of the few covers that made you sweat by the end, that was crazy, well worth the wait!

[@joshsteffen]

+Aaron Borba check out my cover of Havok Covering Fire. I almost threw up towards the end.

[@Beastieboys356]

Awesome job dude!

[@rayroc480]

Josh you are the F'n man!!! I am TRULY BLOWN AWAY.. that was 1 of the coolest, definitely most impressive drumming I have ever seen! I can't Thank you enough for doing this my friend! You absolutely made my day n some... you are undeniably the "Master"

[@cheesecake4084]

Yes man! You are simply the best. Happy 100K!!!

[@MrLandale]

I'm not a drummer but I understand how physical it must be to play this. It sounds great!

[@martijnkemperman7689]

Yaaay, thanks and congrats dude!

[@Silversmith70]

Dear Mother, Dear Father!....

[@brandondilldine8311]

I've waited many moons to watch this. Great job bro!

[@edwardmarquez7262]

Been waiting a long time for this.Incredible job reproducing Lars finest moment. Congratulations Josh!

[@adambauman8044]

When I watch what his hands are doing it looks really hard. Then I realize what he is also doing with his feet at the same time and it seems almost impossible. Nicely done dude!

[@frostythasnowman9562]

For me, it’s always the feet syncing with the hands because high school marching band developed my hands and not my feet lol. Drum set is definitely a different animal.

[@julin2007jf]

Very good man, you are amazing !

[@GGDrummer]

Great job. Another fantastic video.

[@yoshipercussion5126]

That was badass! Thank you very much.

[@F150fx2sporT]

I was blasting this on my speakers and playing along with my guitar. Fuckn amazing cover man!!!!

[@michaelfarrer2179]

How do you widdily diddily so fast? Damn....

[@edgareduardohernandezvega3130]

Amazing!

[@arthurgrella810]

Awesome kick.

[@miguelramirez751]

[@875yertgeyker875]

Badass mate! Very nice work! Congratulations on 100k!

[@matiasmontecinos1715]

Very cool!!!! Congratulations for your 100.000 suscribers... waiting for the version with the song...Josh you are the best

[@johnwad1773]

Awesome!!!!

[@mikefinocchiaro7778]

My mum always said that you don't have to be a professional to be good because there was a man that lived behind me and he was one of the best along with you and that always helped me try my best and I thank my mum for that

[@rustyrussell7613]

Sick..I love it Double kick is out there

[@Gaelpoo]

Congrats on 100k subs Josh! :D Greetings from Mexico (even though you don't give a shit from where I come from xD)

[@joshsteffen]

Gracias

[@Gaelpoo]

Haha, de nada xd

[@ajwasp]

Total perfection!

[@vixenvendettaofficial]

Sweet!!

[@jean-pierrebernatchez1100]

I'll see you play it on my drum kit. Which is almost the same as Lars used to record this album. Same numbers and sizes of shells (two BD 24x16 '', four Toms of 12x11 '' to 15x14 '', Floors of 16x16 '' & 18x16 '' + a 14x6.5 '' Steel Snare). Tama Camco Professional Pedal x2. The same numbers and sizes of cymbals but they are Sabian AAX (Modern, Bright, Brilliant) XPlosion Crash (equivalent of Zildjian A Custom Projection Crash) 16, two 17, 18 and 19 '', Sabian AA (Vintage, Bright, Traditional 14 '' Medium Hi-Hat & 20 '' Medium Ride, Zildjian 18 & 20 '' Oriental China Trash. Lars had used rather traditional Zildjian A's (Vintage, Bright) 17 & 18 '' Medium-Thin & 16, 17 & 18 '' Medium (the classic Crashes setup (Studio and Live) and long-standing (85 to 2000) from Lars two ZC1 14 '' Dyno-Beat Hi-Hat and a 19 '' China Boy Low with occasionally a 20 '' A Ping Ride but not on AJFA. Another very successful interpretation especially that Dyers Eve is not for all drummers. It's a drum track of endurance and precision as I often say. Good job Josh !!!, JR

[@victorsilva7409]

- Toca Muito Bem !

[@АлексейДемешкант]

Awesome! I waiting all your video

[@Kryptor360]

Notable dude! Perfect!

[@armandovillarreal7819]

[@andraskraszko3611]

Josh! You're the best!!!!!!!!!!

[@Brokenface]

i love drum intro

[@wenca1352]

Dear mother dear father this is great 🤘

[@gabratte9858]

Here's an idea: tune your drums to sound the shittiest you can get them to and then cover St. Anger :p

[@gabratte9858]

***** I wonder if the sound engineer quit cause Lars was too stupid or was fired cause it was his own idea...

[@gabratte9858]

***** Yeah, a little ring can be nice in some settings. But the "thing" on St. Anger isn't a simple ring. it's the sound of roadkill passing under a train lol

[@romankulagin6247]

Отлично.

[@EstebansWrld]

Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gtr85guy]

Who the hell downvoted this?! Brilliant cover, my friend.

[@juliorolandi6694]

Lars single bass Ulrich of course

[@deliverance9975]

The quest to find a drum cover where someone plays the extra toms in the intro continues... Still amazing job though man!

[@Hoscitt]

It's not just me! 😄

[@slicknick6369]

huge fan man your a badass drummer if you get the chance could you do critical acclaim by avenged seven fold its a badass song and i think you will enjoy playing it

[@kubazielinski2180]

I too 😄

[@vitodigiovanni4020]

finally awesome

[@Rastard12345]

What's your opinion on two bass drums vs double pedal, Josh?

[@joshsteffen]

+Rastard12345 never played two drums, but consistent sound and ease of recording leans toward the double pedal.

[@Rastard12345]

Interesting! I prefer double drums (just got my second Starclassic and it sounds phenomenal!) - but I get your point about the ease of recording/moving around, haha!

[@JorgeGonzalez-wn3wv]

+Josh Steffen can you cover unnatural selection by havok!!!

[@firedragon_ck4509]

+Jorge Gonzalez He already has! And he pretty much has covered the whole Time Is Up album as well, check his Havok playlist - it rules

[@woody5581]

Wow

[@icravedominance]

0:06 spank, spank, spank, spankspank, spank, spank

[@juansmith-sl7ct]

muito show mano!!!!!

[@TheIsemgrim]

[@krissadasrichum691]

ผมชอบนะ

[@aaronrus]

If Metallica was smart, they would invite you to fill in as Lars backup for the occassional show

[@operationthrash9645]

Nobody: My wife when she wakes up before me: 1:17

[@elvergarrica1639]

Got tired in 1 min 😆. SHIT ! NO WORDS DUDE...

[@fernandag.8932]

Master! 😁

[@PenguinsnKittens]

Damn

[@carlosvalverde2928]

I can still hearing the guitars

[@gta290785]

Чувак ты крут

[@Chileno6921]

That floor tom sounds powerfull

[@andyema2012]

coooollll!!!

[@jamescrawley9513]

FUCK YES

[@ahmeterensevinc2232]

OMG

[@Datdudestone]

fuck yeah man!

[@saif7rb71]

finally !!

[@iantouzel638]

wow , good job, that song is a beast, Metallica never played that one live if im not wrong

[@rollforeverderbs]

2009 in France and they completely disgraced it.

[@rollforeverderbs]

The video is on KZbin, see for yourself.

[@iantouzel638]

+rollforeverderbs your right budy ! Seems like he doesnt play the double base part !

[@rollforeverderbs]

+Ian Touzel That's not the only thing that he didn't play. He was taking shortcuts left and right. I honestly have no idea why they played it if they knew that they couldn't. I really don't get it. I would like to think that James is aware of modern Lars' abilities or lack there of.

[@alexanderwasley5685]

Great fuckin job dude, the first chorus gives yah a little break lol

[@BatemanNYC]

Are you Delta Empire?

[@joshsteffen]

No. Tryna think of something clever to say, but no. ;)

[@silleellie]

Spam this everywhere, let's get this man the views he deserves!

[@marshalmciff6577]

What? You had 100,000 subs but now you don't? What happened? Or am I just dumb

[@joshsteffen]

+Marshal Mciff didn't wanna wait another day.

[@oguzselim12]

+Josh Steffen :DDdddddd

[@marshalmciff6577]

+Josh Steffen Haha!

[@mrobsolete530x4]

he released it before he hit 100,00

[@danny355]

7 dislikes, all from Kery King.

[@DanielCure1]

You should take over from Lars. He's so sloppy and poor now. This is absolutely awesome!

[@jussiparkkonen9853]

You actually have 99 886 subs

[@OverproofMMA]

What's the new china more on the left?

[@norwaydude6]

I think it's a 16" Wuhan

[@drumbeard]

Your legs de-sync a little with arms on the quick double-bass parts, but I understand that fully, as these parts are killers to play, I have the same issue. Great job anyway, was curious when would you do this :)

[@zippy1911]

That was badass. It's cool when the player of the cover kicks the ass of the dude who wrote it.

[@F150fx2sporT]

It's simple when your in a studio chilling and not touring constantly.

[@zippy1911]

That shit was not simple.

[@zippy1911]

I must of missed your last drum video.

[@F150fx2sporT]

+Victor Sanchez did I say I was a drummer? I said it's simple for the fact that he's not played live for years, he's not constantly touring AND he's just at home recording until it's perfect. Kind of not fair for to compare him to Lars. Specially at Lars' age. And you are forgetting Lars made this up, Josh is just COVERING IT.

[@nicolhaidi]

+Victor Sanchez I'm pretty sure Lars himself recorded his part in a studio too. And I'm also sure what you hear on the album are a lot of different takes cut and pasted together, whilst Josh just seems to play all of it in just one take. So I can't understand what you're trying to say here. Also, touring if anything makes you play BETTER, it's practice after all. And age has nothing to do with playing a fucking instrument.

[@Ranskulainen]

You have 99 849 subs

[@hungryxman3902]

My guess is that he will uploads the version with the backing track when he reaches 100,000

[@Ranskulainen]

hungryXman3​ He uploaded it already. And now he has 10 subs more

[@rayroc480]

+Ranskulainen as soon as word gets around (and these days it's fast) I'm sure it will keep rising quicker than usual! No1 has ever covered "Eve" on KZbin.. not in it's entirety anyway and definitely not the manner that Josh recorded it (2 cams) n no special effects! This video is gonna be huge especially the actual cover!

[@lincthomas7178]

sounds a bit wrong

[@TM-fr7gh]

This might be a silly idea but would you consider doing a drum cover of a vaporwave song? It would be... aesthetic... :)

[@jason.taylor]

1 dislike. Lars was here.

[@multiestonian]

If anything, then Lars would give this video a like.

[@jean-pierrebernatchez1100]

Josh is much better than Lars for several years. He plays Live and at once that Lars in the studio with multiple shots.

[@lost4weeks]

keep it at 666 likes 🤘

[@jasonking6540]

Better than Lars 😂

[@tabithasalazar214]

[@romankulagin6247]

Игра ногами лучше, чем в оригинале.

[@S0larus]

Lars couldn't have played it. I think eventually he recorded several drum tracks separately.

[@greasybastard7209]

back in the day he could really play but I doubt he would have done that

[@themetal5587]

please think before you put shit under youtube videos

[@tenplex]

You "thinking" is wrong. Think harder before you post nonsense. Lars played the drums on dyers eve.

[@BurnTheNuance]

+tenplex I am pretty sure what he meant is it took him several takes to do in the studio. Which is a pretty widely said thing, so most assume it is true. Don't be such a douche, or a butt-hurt fanboy.

[@S0larus]

That's an open question. www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111205

Ah... back before Lars sucked.
