SLIPKNOT - The Blister Exists - Drum Cover

[@polpottopg]

It fucking amazes me as a guitarist how drummers can do so many different things at once and stay in time

[@Toxcys]

Whoa guitarists complementing a drummer

[@SirFooplesTheThird]

I'm a bassist and i have so much respect for drummers. I've dabbled in drumming but it's just so fucking hard and practically impossible

[@xreasezanmoody7633]

@@SirFooplesTheThird I wouldn’t say that. Some things just come easier for some people. You may find playing and learning bass easier than drums but others may feel the other way around. Sometimes I feel like guitars/basses r harder to learn over all than drumming is. Hell, I’ve been playing on and off since around 2010 and I still find certain things about drumming to b a learning curve for me. Off/odd beats(especially when all the limbs are doing their own oddly timed thing), is still my main bain to this day😭.

[@MrZergMan]

I personally find drums so much more natural to me than guitar. I struggle so much on the guitar haha

[@str1897]

It's fun to see a guitarist say this because for me it's the opposite, as a drummer I can't understand how guitarist manage to do what they do

[@carlosvalverde2928]

Vol. 3 is the best album I've heard from Slipknot

[@craigzilla100]

Your drums are tuned exactly to Joey's. Sounds spot on. Amazing

[@JayC-xv9lh]

He actually changes his snare to sound the most like Joey from the album it's so cool how much detail he puts in 👌

[@theblackestvoid]

do you know how Joey has that flat tom sound?

[@yourmom7121]

@@theblackestvoid if you mean getting rid of the echo, the heads and how you tune the resonant head will reduce it. also put on moongel or similar to dampen it further

[@sultankosmitov6293]

The tuning is one thing. Josh is also pretty good at EQ and mixing his drums for the Slipknot covers which is worth noticing. And not all that common for drummers in general.

[@JexileStudio]

Watching this makes my legs hurt

[@kevinvilante]

This is so easy :v

Best metal covers go to this man. As soon as I see one of these videos I immediately watch it

[@dreshahadaha9083]

This guy is the TRUTH!!!

[@jeremywarf8784]

It makes me so happy seeing other drummers being good. I've been playing since I was 4 years old, and that pedal is a double base, the one next to it is a hi-hat pedal which is to keep time with. He uses the same pedal as me, and that's one of the best pedals you can have. Preferably a Pearl Speed Demon Series, but that's like $600

[@Kristian.Todorov.Drummer]

1:56 is my favorite part of this song

Love your vids dude. Learned a few songs through them. You’re very inspiring.

[@NavStark]

ABSOLUTELY NAAAAILED IT!

[@edsjourney5536]

I literally just sprung and bought an electric drum set just because I wanted to learn this song. More specifically the sick breakdown the song ends with.

[@TheRealSandman]

Favoruite slipknot song and a great cover!

[@FatAndGreese]

Ah, I see you've got the same pearl kicks as I have. They are (sic).

[@Crucifer]

Phenomenal job. The 4 video sequence was amazing, very impressed.

[@richardlaymance9984]

Josh, I’m always absolutely blown away by your talent.

[@metalfilms6660]

That pearl eliminator is just the best pedal out there in my opinion.

[@mame100able]

i like it man! that raw sound of the drums (no super sampled like every drumer in youtube),this have soul.

[@crazybutcool5150]

I did try that pedal. It does fucking rock. I wish I would have gotten it instead of the DW5000 I bought. Awesome Vid!

[@lLordofGod]

HELL YES!! You finally did The Blister Exists! and my god...you killed it man!

[@travisdelee8647]

1:55 I had to timestamp this. Whole song is badass, but this is such a cool part

[@Unanimaus]

The camera quality is incredible, goddamn. Thanks for covering my favorite Slipknot song.

[@ElucidatorVids]

Sick cover dude! A good track off Vol. 3 and I see you got that new bass pedal. Awesome man.

[@Stardust_456]

Your avatar had me crying xD

[@ElucidatorVids]

Stardust_456 Hahaha.. It's sort of an inside joke from a while back. My friends and I were in a drunken skype call, and I decided to put one of my buddy's faces on the doge picture. Pretty nice results I would say, haha

[@ethanmorgan3806]

+Patrick Drozdowski You're not a drummer, are you? If so, study the names of the drums and tools for the drums.

[@paulbiontino6775]

Real pro, amazing, now i know why this is my favorite Slipknot song XD

[@Msilverfox75]

Glad you got the Pearl! I'm still going strong with mine. It's got to be at least a 15 year old pedal. Had to swap the left for the right foot pedal (heel hinge got loose), but that was easy too.

[@joshsteffen]

I used to have a version of this back in the day, right before I got the Taye set in 03. I miss it! Nice hearing from you, man.
