METALLICA - Orion (kind of drum cover)

[@TheLousyGames]

this might sound weird but how in time his bass drum and crash cymbals are is oddly satisfying

[@hunterconklin4423]

It's becuz he edits the son to match his drumming if it's off

[@ltmcuber5182]

u had to ruin it bro

[@ArthurTactical]

7:45 Josh, please do more double bass tricks like this to more metallica songs. It just makes them sound more awesome!

[@nikis1254]

Josh we really would love to see bloopers of your drumming

[@jottafausto]

YES!!! a bloopers video would be great!!

[@nathanexplosion5639]

there ARE no bloopers XD.. but srs.. it would be great! :)

[@groledo]

There are NO bloopers: this man is perfect.

[@chimchu3232]

Yes that would be cool

[@TronciM]

I'm pretty sure he doesn't fail that often lol. It's not that hard to just play naturally after so many years of playing

[@dyerseve45]

I love this song as a whole but 1:33-2:33 might be my favorite minute in the history of music. Great job

[@robertblackmore703]

Yeah that’s the best part. It’s hard to hear on this recording but I remember when I first realized that it was Cliff playing bass and not Kurt with some weird efffect. 🤯

[@Newbport849]

7:22-8:24 Jesus christ fucking beautiful. I'm going to convert this youtube video to an audio and replace the original Orion track on my ipod with it.

[@joaomatheus6222]

but the drums are louder than in the original track, it would not sound good

[@Newbport849]

Being a drummer myself, I enjoy the drums a little louder.

[@mattmorin4476]

+João Matheus and you're watching a drum channel to hear more of Hetfield? Crank it up

[@nikis1254]

+Newbport me too. I love louder drums

[@gustavomarques4097]

you can use "A Tube Catcher" to convert it to MP3 just using the link of the video

[@xxTheMinecraftNation]

The very last 30-40 seconds blew my mind I loved it. Sounded amazing!!!

[@thomasstunts]

2:16 now that was badass

[@WittyCaMoNinja]

that fill at 7:29 is slick ... loved it, great job man!

[@starfighterf5112]

It sounds like:"If Orion was on And justice for all".

[@larsthesing8015]

Tasty like Hell . Payed Tribute to the original Drumtrack and added so many fantastic grooves and Fills. Chapeau

[@odadingmangoleh4585]

Your hands, your feet and your movements are so fast, you're the most fun drum cover channel, your drums also have a very melodious sound

[@MittzKrieg]

Every kind of Metallica video you do is the way I want the drums to sound in the first place. Awesome work once again. Looking forward to the next one. Maybe some Menza era Megadeth?

3:50 we miss you Cliff

[@duzzitmatter8679]

I don't know why I'm just now getting this video recommended but I'm glad that it did. It allows me to expound on the notion that i thought I was alone in liking this song as much as I did when I discovered it back in '87. In fact it was (and still is) my favorite from "Puppets". Like I said before, Josh...you have a certain way of just making a great classic even better. You're a class act and I wish you the best and thank you for your channel!! Keep up the great work!

[@joshsteffen]

+Duzzit Matter ;)

[@mattmorin4476]

All kidding aside Josh, thanks for making "old" shit fresh again. My ears are ringing from listening to this three times at full volume

[@obangga]

the last part sounds like metalcore song, great job josh. love your work

[@Shivz88]

2:13 - That little small part on the hi-hat, details like that. Super easy to miss, but super hard to master. Not to mention the pedals afterwards! Josh, still my idol. Do i gotta mention 7:44? Lars go home, your drunk.

[@DanielM196]

the kick drum pedal at 2:21 would've have been insane throughout the whole riff

[@hateofallhatreds]

I love your style - so solid and tasteful! Keep up the great work.

[@JordanT.Zacharias]

I'm impressed Josh, to see how far you've gone in a couple years. I remember the low resolution camera, and the small basic sounding kit, glad to see that you got where you deserve

[@Slahinki]

Excellent take on what is in my opinion one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Good job.

[@ajwasp]

At minute 7:36 ! :-) your snare fills, totally impressive man! Everything went into this video, it's been a real pleasure coming back to this track through you Josh! Cheers! :-)

[@floydthebarber331]

You and Dave Lombardo made me love drumming Thank you !

[@1greencuda]

the ending was epic , loved the kick drum mirroring the guitars in the end

[@stealthisname66]

I enjoy hearing your style inserted to songs brother. Hope to hear more of your "kind of" covers. Cheers.

[@thatoneginger9928]

Awesome, awesome cover! Thank you for not adding unneeded drum fills in, honestly like this song more with the improved drum track!

[@vznnn]

if watched all of your videos around 3 times, every time i watch this one i realize how much style he has, the aggression with his snare and hihat placement so much style you can feel the passion for metal. Love what your doing never stop 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@nobodyimportant69]

Would be cool. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the reply!!

[@DJsteelbill]

Killer Job josh. You made it your on with the fills. Very good bro

[@andrewb386]

Your excellent studio quality mixing and equalization means i will be rocking you in my 5,000 Watt accord through Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota

[@MiguelFrancisco666-13]

Josh, that was awesome as usual dude! Loved your additions, love watching you play man!

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks!

[@lewisrichards3083]

Man I know I'm late but this shows how good of a drummer you are. You are still drumming for the song whilst adding complex and perfect timed fills. Your not adding unnecessary fills where they don't belong which is what most highly skilled drummers with their own take would do.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks!

[@mattmorin4476]

Remains as one my top 5 drum covers on KZbin

[@dutchuniverse]

Metallica should hire Josh if anything were to happen to Lars

[@lazyman4214]

this comment has to be pinned under every Josh's video

[@eduardozepol2000]

Metallica has said (i think) that if any of the current members died or quit the band would be done. In the unfortunate case of Lars dying/quitting maybe a final tour could be possible. I wrote this whole comment and just remembered download 2004 lol

Love the creativity of your "kind of" drum covers. This one is pretty kick ass too. How you played during the outro is pretty gnarly. Mimicking the rhythm guitars with the kick. Awesome.

One of my favorite Metallica tracks. You fit notes into places where there doesn't seem to be any room, and its fucking awesome. Nice work.

[@davidbentley6399]

Loving the song originally, I never thought hearing the drums differently would work... I was wrong! Although there were some spots it felt like it didn't flow/mesh too well, but for the most part I think it really worked well. It gave it more flair without feeling like overplaying. For the most part it still fit the song. Your playing is phenomenal as always though! Keep up the great work and churning out great covers!!!

Josh, I have been listening to and watching your vids since before you had 15k subs. In that time your music has just gotten better and better. This song is actually the first Metallica song I ever heard way back when I was 11 (im 38 now lol). I still put this song on when ive had a shit day. Thanks for making this song even better. Still going to keep nagging you for Killing Fields though mate. One day I will get you to play it :)

[@SuperVilliany101]

Loved when you followed the guitar with the kick drum towards the end, so that got me thinking it would be cool if you did one of these type videos but playing more like a modern drummer over a Metallica song like following the guitar pattern with the kick and blast beats here and there. Keep up the good work.
