METALLICA - Harvester of Sorrow - Drum Cover

[@FrankieHiltz]

I always loved the pattern/groove of the toms and the kicks in this song

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Same here, it was very cool dynamics for Lars to pick these arrangements to compliment James's riff. Justice is my favorite album for many reasons, but this song is one of them.

[@leocorral]

Yea i like the part @3:22 with the double bass

[@metalheadjock3513]

Agree 100 %

[@renatosabato]

This song shows how innovative Lars was in this album. It's not technically super hard, but it's probably my favorite drumming

[@mushmann1333]

That and the gallop like feel of the double kick

[@ianhinkle1878]

Very unique drumming coming from Lars on this album and especially this song, people don’t give it enough credit

[@JTwiss88]

Lars can be an amazing drummer when it comes down to it. He’s even admitted he’s got lazy when it comes to putting in the hours in terms of practice. What people need to get with Lars is he will play for the song- not to shine out as a blast-beat/double bass demon. He’s also a key figure when it comes to general composition and song arrangement. Guy deserves a break from the hate

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@JTwiss88 and the funny thing is that even on that he s a role for thoses demons in what he came up with

[@2011granit]

Lars is a rookie in metal.

[@andresxd1803]

​@@2011granit Comenta ésto, cuando seas el baterista de la banda más grande de metal de la historia, parte de su éxito se debe a Lars y a tí... Bueno, no te conocerán ni en tú casa, das pena comentando eso.

[@DM-rc4yu]

@@2011granit Lars has achieved more in one second of his recordings that you ever will. What does that make you?

[@RJSF9]

This is hand-down my favorite Lars drum track. It propels the song, lets it breathe, and gives it that creepy "on edge" feel. Awesome cover.

[@briankeevan8134]

Excellent description of the drums in this masterpiece. 🤘🏻

[@JulianMartinez-jt6pl]

This is lars best work on drums by far i think.

[@eazye519]

Julian Martinez Nah

[@FIELDSbass]

I think he meant the whole "...And Justice For All". If that's the case, I'd have to agree with him.

[@eazye519]

***** Lars drumming on justice is one of the best performances ever by any drummer

[@eazye519]

KwizatsHaderach8 Lars is a great guy and one of the most important names in music history. You still sound butthurt over Napster.

[@KwizatsHaderach8]

Yes, of course. How unruly of me to differ from your omniscient opinion. Pillock.

[@Mustardcrust4u]

Man, I've been listening to Metallica since the late 80s. Heard my share of covers. You are by far the best drummer I've heard playing their songs. Always been a fan of Lars style. My son found you and showed me your channel. I'm totally a fan of your playing! Keep up the great work!

[@joshsteffen]

You really are the only cover drummer that I can stand to listen to all of the way through a song. You truly do have talent and I really do enjoy watching your videos. Besides the good playing, you make them entertaining as well which I appreciate. Keep up the good work.

[@TheAyefooReborned]

I second this comment, there are a lot of cover drummers but they don't really catch the Lars style as well and this guy right here.

[@yomahmaful]

Check out Meytal. She rocks!

[@SurShuru]

Lars put so much effort into his tracks for this album. Intense, high attitude thrash drumming with so many versatile fills...What happened to you, Lars?...

[@nobodyimportant69]

He got old, like we all will, LOL 😂😂. But to me he's still the GOAT!!! He was the inovator of these types of drum rhythms and patterns and this style of drumming. He may not be the best at it today, but it should be recognized that he was one of the first and best to implement it EVER!!!.

[@fallen6060]

@@nobodyimportant69 FINALLY BRO!!! I AGREE! Instead of just hating on him like most does, then think of it like you do. He invented that type of drumming that he does.

[@BrettBDrums]

This has always been my favorite from this album, you nailed it!

[@rickitickidicki]

Being able to play anything off "Justice" so accurately does turn down the awe of Ulrich's "A- game", which clearly ascended to unreal heights during THIS album; however, the achievement of nailing ANY song on Justice is masterfully duplicating a Mega Star's pinnacle of mind blowing drumming mastery and that accomplishment deserves mad respect...and Justice for all, of course!

[@kursatbakis4169]

PLEASE DO SOME MACHINE HEAD COVERS PLEASE THEY NEVER GET ENOUGH APPRECIATION IN MY OPINION. A couple of songs that would be good to cover would be: Locust, Davidan, Beautiful morning, Now I lay thee down, I am hell, Ghost will haunt my bones, Imperium and Clenching the fists of dissent PLEASE DO IT JOSH IT IS IMPERITIVE THAT YOU COVER THIS BAND

So nice to hear this played the way it's recorded on the album as opposed to Lars's neutered, dumbed-down version that he plays live!

[@ryanlee2036]

Your playing is great! You and all the other drum cover players have really been teachers for which I have become eternally grateful. Thank you for your videos. My own playing has improved immensely due to the fact that you are not just an entertainer but a teacher, a professor, a guide. What I would like to know is: are you in a band? Does you band play the songs you cover in your videos? Will you ever post these songs covered by your band, or are there rules that prevent it? I would really like to see you play with your band. One other thing: How well do you earbuds work to not drowned out the song you are covering? thanks for all you do, Josh. You're Great!

[@joshsteffen]

+ryan lee thanks! No band. I spend my time on KZbin. I have some oddball bands I've played for in the past but i just do this for fun. I control the volume of the music. I can choose to hear myself along with it or i can can completely drown myself out and hear only music. Shure SE215.
