He’s definitely more mature, still an absolute unit of a drummer. He was arrogant and usually showed off at a young age, but now he really professionally display’s the level he truly is on without ruining the song, but rather by serving it

You can never underestimate the importance of a lead sheet - I once got booked for a recording where the artist sent me some rough demos without drums. I wrote out the lead sheets and got some ideas for parts to play for the rehearsal the next day. Turned up to the studio and found out that there'd been a miscommunication - it wasn't a rehearsal, it was the recording! I had to make up my parts on the spot based on a few listens, and without those lead sheets we would have been there for days. Always be prepared!

That's not at all what they're saying. They're questioning your own validation of your right to judge someone. You've basically said "I'm an amateur musician and because of that I am qualified to tell others how good this guy is".

Well below his skill level, but I love his comment that the song isn't difficult to play in itself, but is difficult to play with the right energy. And it would just be one song in a set. Good stuff.

2:33 - 3:04 has gotta be my favorite part in this whole video, just constant "drum talk". I LOVE IT

what a legend. his hand movements are so elegant

People can say what they want but Lars is an iconic drummer and this is a great take on a great song. Thanks!

Yep and since he is a co-founder-no Lars, no Metallica. I love Lars' cymbal chokes, cymbal hits on 4, and all his other idiosyncrasies. Metallica wouldn't sound like them without Lars!

Just doesn’t get any better than watching Thomas work. So good.

One of the most impressive things I've seen a musician do. A true pro.

Always cool to see someone as talented as Thomas, play another talented drummers song. He worded it right. You gotta bring the energy when playing this music!!!🙌

@@camthesooner123 name one song Thomas wrote, or album he made that sold millions. Or music scene he helped start……I’ll wait. He’s amazing, and so is Lars.

the best part is seeing someone use his own language for crib sheets, like many of us do. You end up speaking a shorthand language unto yourself; and having been in touring bands that did the same thing, I'd get to see these incredible little works of structural language on the stage or on stands, that guided these pros through songs. This is great stuff.

😂😂😂it’s bloody ridiculous how amazing Thomas is…..much respect….definitely took the song to another level. This guy is a beast, a musical chameleon, he could slot into any genre. But his musical knowledge enables him to dissect this song and reconstruct it. Always impressed by his talent…..Lars watch out buddy, this guy could put you out of a job in a heartbeat 😂😂😂😂

Lars is much more than a drummer. If it hadn't been for Lars, Metallica wouldn't be here today. He gets way too little credit for that. He might not be the best drummer out there, but he's the best drummer for Metallica.

@@Kermithimself I often feel Lars doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He developed a very unique drumming style that inspired a whole generation of drummers. Sure, a lot of people play cleaner and faster, but as demonstrated in this video, that's not at all what it's all about.

It's cool to see how much fun he's having with this and that he doesn't try to overplay it, given that his technical ability far exceeds what he's playing.
