Can you do a rings of Saturn cover they are death metal band and go extreme with the drums if you want to get a workout try practicing/learning a song or two it may be difficult but it will sound badass in the end

BEHOLD, the most talented drummer on youtube!

I just love this Medley. I keep rewatching it! Great job I have become a big fan of your channel.

I don't know what it is but I absolutely love the beginning of ride the lightning. The guitars playing like that and the drum and bass playing together aswell, sounds so awesome! And really good job from you Josh, awesome!

You make Lar's style of playing sound really amazing, great job as always!

as a drummer and learned from lars, clive and bill, you are one of the best from whom to learn. your tuning is great and you've inspired me to get back into it and relearn these same albums over again.

your medleys are just amazing man, you and krimh are so inspiring man

Josh that Medley was Killah, great kit sounds crisp and clear I came across you by accident to be honest glad I did great to watch 💪🤘

Great job Josh! You have a way of making it look easy while pulling off some really impressive drumming. The playing is so fluid and the fills are so clean. Got me in the mood to go pop this CD in and Ride the Lightning!

...so True, and the Medley us so well Balanced, ..He really did a Good Job, ..a very nice Tribute ! . . .🤘

Absolutely amazing. It just looks so effortless. You could very easily replace Lars. Keep making videos, you're one of the only drummers on KZread that I know will be pretty much flawless every single time you make a cover.

Just now seeing this, still my favourite album by them. Amazing job! Soo many great riffs

Insane! Great work man! Hope to see a Korn Medley soon!

This is fantastic Josh. Well done man.

I learn so much just by watching you! Great videos!!!

I really liked it. It's not an exact cover of the songs, is the Josh's version of Ride The Lightning. Excellent!!

Epic ending for an epic medley! Nicely done. I especially liked the way you slow jammed your way out of Fight Fire with Fire about 3/4 of the way through.

This is amazing! I got a new favorite video on the internet.

So awesome! I fucking love the transition from Fade into Creeping! You are amazing

Dude, as much as I loved your Justice and Master Medleys, I gotta give the ultimate nod to this one. Not only is Lightning my favorite album, your Ktulu parts were just ungodly. Again, the transitions are awesome, especially the little unexpected Fight Fire With Fire crash. Love it! Quick off topic question here. How is your soundproofing setup? I live in a one bedroom apartment with a low patience neighbor to say the least. The room is completley across the room, so it wouldn't be close. I've tried using electronic kits to avoid the noise problem, but the ones I've tried don't fit my style or are just low quality in general. So, I'd really love an acoustic, but noise has always prevented me from doing so. So, in short, how do you prevent this (if you have problems, that is)? Thanks dude!

I live in a house and these are shot in my basement, which is cement. Plus my neighbors are cool about it. When I was young and just learning to play the cops were always over, so I walled my room and windows with that dense 1" fiberglass foam stuff.

And I'm glad you liked this one. I took a lot more liberties to do what I wanted because I'm not to impressed with the drum sound or performance in Ride. Lars wasn't Lars yet.

@RideTheLightning728

10 жыл бұрын

Josh Steffen Thanks for the super quick reply dude. Yeah, living in an apartment definitley hinders my abilities. But, how did that fiberglass foam work? Cause I'd totally line my entire room with it if I had to. And yeah the drums aren't as prominent on most RTL songs, especially Trapped Under Ice. Half the time I hear double bass and sometimes not. The only really great drum track IMO is Fight Fire With Fire.

All those epic sounds i used to love my whole life. So great hearing it differently, and your drums sound awesome. Another way of listening to Metallica for me, i want more of this pls. I need this for in my car. :) ---- Lars is a great drummer, but indeed, Josh makes it look easy, thrust me, it's not. Even if u had the skill, your legs could cramp up within minutes.

i love that fight fire with fire bridge. The cymbal placements are great in my ears and then the double kick to follow that part. 9:52 I've always known that Lars was a better drummer than can be heard on those older 80's recordings. Pretty good Josh Steffen. pretty good.

Once again excellent Josh'''''''''''''''

Te has merecido mi mas grande Like ... Is amazing your style of play drums and i Like so much the medley

really? really? man that was amazing... I hope lars watch this video... he would be so proud to see how you took his drumming to a new level, keep it up man :)

The best metallica album in my opinion Btw great cover dude :)

of course your own interpretation is pretty well spot on and adds to these songs.

damn josh! that was fucking awesome! again! as always! after listening to all your drum covers, i decided to start playing the drums! do like korn's dead bodies everwhere? it would be great to hear your version. you rock dude!!

nice job bro!

You are Awesome on the drums. Your kit sounds great, and I have enjoyed watching many of your videos....brought back some old memories! FUCKIN rock on, love it 👊🍺

This dude is awesome,but I disagree with his comment on the "stale drums" of the Lightning album. Sure, Lars' fairly limited skills probably kept the drums beats and fills a bit more simplified, but it is almost a blessing because the grooves he did come up with serve the songs really well, and he doesn't add distracting flair all over the place.

@shokid

8 жыл бұрын

I agree, my drummer added too many fills and always showing off, was super annoying. When it comes to drumming, sometimes less is more. Lars' playing on "ride" served the album very well. This drumming takes a lot away from the songs.

Amazing, dude

Dude, i'm sitting in the front of my computer like "OMG, what am i looking at, is this man for real ??" You f*cking nailed all the f*cking songs of this f*cking album ! You f*cking rock, man ! Keep rocking !

I am so fucking jealous. I have been trying so hard to nail that malevolent, sinister swing in the rhythm part of "For Whom...", but it comes out wooden and non-groovy. Josh nails it effortlessly. Plus, can someone tell me if it's in 4/4 or 6/8? And he's wearing my favorite Metallica t-shirt. Love it.
