My PRIMUS audition | Part2 | 11 Songs |

[@protagonist01]

You deserve the gig, not just because your energy and precision is insane, but equally because you go to the effort of recreating exactly the moments fans of Primus will immediately notice; like the hi-hat sound during Tom Waits' part in Tommy the Cat. What an incredible talent.

Not only the greatest choice but the man who wants it the most as it seems. Ansioso pra te ver no Primus Ninja!

[@bebettoninja]

YES!❤️

[@mateusxavier8805]

Os caras podiam dar essa chance para o Betto. O cara já tocou 17 músicas, um dos únicos que fez isso, é um baterista totalmente qualificado, um dos melhores do Brasil sem dúvida alguma, tudo o que ele precisa é uma chance para explodir. Torcendo por você Betto!

[@bebettoninja]

Obrigado, irmão!!

[@adelais168]

Even if Claypool and Lalonde don't think you fit, your perfect blend of Herb and Brain, is one of the most impressive thing that I have watched for a long time ! You are impressive and gained a follower !

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you!!

[@jjthrash6990]

I've watched so many of the Primus auditions and you are BY FAR the best choice. We need to manifest this into reality.

[@bebettoninja]

Let’s go my friend! Let’s go!

[@RodyCar]

Mi sembra che dia un'impronta un po' metal ai brani secondo il suo modo di suonare molto marcato e secco

[@jonathanmott1408]

I've watched so many of these auditions and yours are easily top three! Hope they call you in for a jam sesh. We need more kickass Brazilian drummers in legendary American legacy acts!!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you!!

[@davidbernico9689]

Badass man. The last 30 seconds of john the fisherman was awesome. Good luck sir

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, sir!

[@OwenMcKinley]

You're qualified!!! And you've covered a huge handful of their songs! Both videos are great, hope you're seriously considered. Awesome job

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

[@fengrr]

Articulation could use some work

[@lastditch727]

The end of john the fisherman was ridiculous. 😂 How can Les not want to jam with you after this? Incredible dedication to an audition.

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, man!!

[@Bubs0271]

You capture Tim "Herb" Alexanders energy, groove, and style beautifully while adding your own flare. Nice. You got my vote.

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, bro!!

[@justryan7109]

If I were Les Claypool I'd Hire ya Brotha! This dreamer deserves it because of that sweet sweet solid goodness with each stroke of delight! Dude has me Groovin out like crazy!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, dude!🫶🏻

[@steverudolphmusic]

This guy is fucking smokin' for this job. Hands down, the best yet. Not just playing, but professionally as well. A lot has to be taken into account for how he will be an ambassador for and represent Primus. I have been playing for 40 years+ and a Primus fan since the beginning. I think this dude was made for this position. My 2 cents, this is your guy!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, man!!

[@jadenperry3055]

My vote. I haven’t seen every Primus Audition, but I have seen a bunch. This gentleman is the best, not just in his drumming ability, but the recording quality and his ability to match the original drum tones. But then…no one asked me.

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, sir!

[@keithgreene79]

LOL . . . actually they said they would be checking comments for feedback so they did ask and you delivered.

[@BongDonkySecret77]

@@bebettoninja You are talented. You seem like you have much experience on the drum kit. Are you Portuguese? Buona fortuna amicu.

[@celoceanicon]

Drumming was good, but I disagree about the recording quality. Closed hi hat sounds bad and the ride is poor too.

[@bebettoninja]

@@BongDonkySecret77 thank you, dude! I’m from Brasil!

[@KJJames-ds2vo]

The GROOVE!!! Good stuff. So many great musicians are vying for this but damn do many of them lack that subtle groove. Best of luck, brother.

[@bebettoninja]

Appreciate that, brother! 🙏

[@boogiewoogit5597]

Exactly. Groove, pocket, unbridled joy, cannot be bought or taught. This man has it in spades, c’mon Lester, send this man a ticket to Rancho Relaxo for audition

[@Webishtix]

Just the perfect meeting point between Tim and Brain, amazing work! So in the pocket.

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, sir!

[@FuriousStylezOfficial]

I agree. He nails Tim's style damn near to a T.

[@goldybass]

My thoughts exactly! I would even add Jay Lane in that mix. He has that Jayski bounce and pocket

[@richardnoggin697]

Yes, this is my second comment but I have to say this. I think Les is going to be the one missing out if he doesn't at least, give you a chance to jam and see if the vibe's right. You made me like Primus more and I drove to Woodstock in 94 in New York from North Carolina with no tickets and barely any money and snuck in to see Primus. Made it to the front row and every time I watch the old videos I can see my fat head poking out of the crowd.

[@bebettoninja]

Dude!! Now that’s a cool story!

[@gwensgamesgalore]

Brings a whole new energy to this band, your drumming alone got me back into this band after a long hiatus not really listening- I’m sure I can’t be the only one who feels this vibe, these are the new definitive versions for me, if that’s not a reason to hire you for the gig I don’t know what is!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much!!

You're still have my vote for the best audition so far, and this one reinforces it. Hope they give you a real audition!!!

It's not just about showing off the technics, but also the go-for-it sense, the vibe, the catching...and you got it, you do the whole thing very well. Nice work, fellow. I loved the style in John the fisherman....

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, my friend! 🙏

[@jrussellfrog1]

As many others have stated, I've also seen tons of "audition" videos and you are the best I've seen. I like that you are adding your own fills etc because I doubt the Primus boys are looking for someone who just play the songs.. keep it up Betto! You fucking rock and deserve this!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, sir!

[@jeremyelkington655]

Amazing playing mate! You totally get my vote! Love the fills, intricacies and force behind your playing. Hope you get the gig and to see you play down here in Australia!

I had a part 3 uploaded last week, check on that one too, I think you’ll like it

[@joszefrviz398]

All of these damn Primus audition videos have kept me entertained with seemingly no end in sight! Killerrrrrr! This guy has to be one of the top 3 candidates for sure. He has the looks, the skills, the desire, youth, and presumably the love for Primus music. What more can you ask for?

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, dude!!

[@seanlacroix]

I hope this dude gets the gig because he pulled off every song near flawlessly and then some. Good luck bro, I’m a drummer myself for the last 35 years and I don’t think I could have done as good of an audition.

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you very much, sir!

[@seanlacroix]

@ no problem man. I really hope Les calls you.

[@terryroach6481]

Primus nut here since '89, and yours is among the top auditions - good luck! Everyone submitting an audition is super capable drummer, but you have the full package: first, you look like you're enjoying yourself, you're hitting hard and smooth, you're playing to the song while at the same time putting your own style on it. That last combo is really tough to do. Super well done!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, my friend! 🙏

[@kchez5586]

The fact that this incredibly perfect drum tone is coming from an EAD 10 is just as sick as the playing. While mostly everyone else did a song or two, Betto did a whole set! Fuck yeah!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you, dude!!

[@rubberbrickdischarge7715]

I think you are the best candidate by far. I commented on your other video, too. I love the selection of songs that you picked. You know all the classics, and I bet you know the whole catalog. I really hope they call you!

[@bebettoninja]

Thank you so much, man. I appreciate your support.🙏

[@friedpickles342]

As a drummer in a cover band. I aspire to emulate the respective drummer as closely as possible. Tim Herb Alexander is one drummer I could never come close to emulate. This is a privilege to witness. Your drumming is superb. Emulate level Boss

[@ChrisMiller-vc2gn]

Fantastic job. Good luck, sir. If you do a third video, may suggest playing some songs from musicians that Les and Larry love, like Rush, Pink Floyd, or Zappa. Primus posted on Instagram for drummers to show personality and not just playing Primus.
