Josh, my sincerest compliments. I'm 45 yrs old, been playing in bands since I was 18 and just recently did my last gig with a tribute band, choosing to bow out because I was no longer "stimulated" by playing drums. I was just about to put my drums up for sale on Craigslist because I didn't even want to look at them any longer. After having watched your video I know how I'm going to be spending my Saturday night now. Setting up my kit again and learning to love the drums again. Thanks so much.
Unfortunately, I fell out of guitar the same way. Been in many bands, but kids and life are more important now. I got stuck in a rut and couldnt get any better on guitar due to lack of time. Still have my guitars and a few amps, so maybe one day I will ride again.
one of the best covers of any song I've heard, absolutely flawless. every cymbal & drum a perfect match sonically, the recording engineer also gets kudos for perfectly eq'ing & mixing the kit. peerless.
+Earl Brackett Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it. It's always a fun challenge trying to replicate these legendary tunes! I did the production on this cover and my brother Luke played the guitar track.
HOOLLLEEEE SHIITT!!! GOD DAMNNN!!!! I was 26 when this tune came out, and it was f-in more than my mind could comprehenddd, and yet you're actually playing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you a million! My heart is young again!!! Nice work!!
+Pasquale Liuzzi So what if he's using electronic bass drums. Alex used electronic drums on most if not all of 5150. He's still playing the part and playing it correctly. That's all that matters.
+Ronnie Jasper if we're talking about legitimacy, it doesn't qualify. I take personally because A. I love recording live drums it's an artform for me, B. Why use real looking drums if you're not going to use the real sounds from those drums, it's like driving a mustang with a motor from a smart car, some people might be okay with it but the real car guys have a problem with it
Marty, apt observation on the slop. That is a "bop swing" thing. It is an intentional bit of schmaltzie showboatmanship that never gets old. I just wish MTV looked at it more that way instead of focusing on DD's ridiculous mug. I hope you find this both informative and relief of the sting from Fred Zed and Lucky. If they knew anything about the history of the bros their comments would have been tempered with insight. Typical fanboys. Props to Free for at least showing some artistic inclination. OK that settles it -- this has officially become an ESPN sports desk. Marty is the analyst, Free, the mediator, and myself with the color commentary.
Josh is just an amazing talent. I keep coming back years later and just can't get enough of this. The new stuff with Jacob is incredible. Love the fact that you guys are keeping classic rock alive.
best version I've ever heard. how could anyone dislike this. incredible. I've been a professional for 30 years toured all over the world with huge names and i couldn't touch this if i had to,,, amazing
Josh, my compliments on a great job. Your talent and skill is obvious, technical ability is one thing but it's your attitude and personality that impress me so much. It's refreshing to see and hear. After 22 years of playing, I packed up my kit and haven't played since. That was 8 years ago. I'm not planning to start again but at the same time I won't part with my drums, they'll be there for when the time's right. Please keep doing what you're doing and please continue to share with us. Thank you...!!
A-fucking-men. That tippity tappity nothing of a sound from those things might as well be Playstation drums. There is no meat or heart in the sound those things produce.
@ David Lee Goth: The beginning is NOT bass drum, it's pads, and the lad is playing the "gallup" on his ride, not 8th notes like you say. Drummer boy, you nailed it! Bravo! Greetings from Montréal, Québec.
im 65. excellent video. years back there was no utube. now i'm at starbucks 2 hrs a day with huge tablet and stereo headphones. drum videos by the hundreds. fun to watch. kicks ass !!!!
Best drum cover of this song I’ve seen/heard so far and there are some videos out there from “teachers”. They’re good, but they just don’t hear the song the right way. Your cover was spot on!!
Not only an absolutely brilliant cover of a very difficult song to master, but you seem like such a humble, and very down-to-earth guy. First thing I did when the video was over was to subscribe, then like, then posted this comment. I can no longer play due to health problems, and I truly miss it, but I get to live vicariously through you and some other good drum cover folks. Thanks a million my friend.
I think this is an absolutely flawless cover of this tune. I have loved this song since I was a boy. And what's more impressive is I don't know grown men who can play a shuffle that good with one kick drum. You're doing it with TWO. Kudos Young Lad. Keep up the good work. They say us younger folks are losers. That our technology and what have you has handicapped us. I know better tho. I have never in my life seen so many younger ppl picking up guitars and drums and keyboards and making real music. Its not in the mainstream right now but, it is definitely in the water and soon enough the mainstream will have to drink that water for it will be the only water left. They're going to choke themselves to death with the carbon copy industry they've currently been "surviving" on. I sure hope you are in a band. If not get in one. And don't worry about anything but writing great songs. It'll take you very far. The industry is starved for great songs. Don't let A girl our any drug come between you and your love for music. I say all of this as a fellow drummer/guitarist and songwriter myself. Anyhow I absolutely enjoyed watching this. Love, Peace, & Chicken Grease!!
bill lyons if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I haven't seen any of your drum lessons or videos lately, but I'm sure you're better than anyone out there.
@josef mengele well I shall wait with bated breath for you to post anything that impressive, and then I shall shitcan it. You yourself have given me permission, for which I thank you. You are definitely pushing the 19th percentile of troll intelligence, if not lower, so I congratulate you.
Finally I guy who played it right..Too many guys try to double bass the crap outta this song...Strait double bass shuffle...People don't realize its the cymbal riff that gives the beat the effect not the kick drum...Thank You..you rock
I'm only 3 years late to the show, but this was as close to perfect as it could be. Absolutely awesome, both the drums and the guitar. You guys are VERY talented.
I swear... drummers must lose ~10 lbs body weight during the course of a show. Just watching this makes me tired and gives me muscle aches... LOL Excellent job Josh! Alex would be proud! :-)
Every time I think I might have a smidgen of talent, along comes one of you to bring me down a peg or 10. Seriously, I know great performances are the result of some cryptic mix of both innate talent and an ethic of HARD WORK! Kudos to you on possessing a bang-on balance of both!
This kid has talent and an ear for how a complete mix should be. For his age, he's very good on the kit, but has equal at the very least, if not a better more complete accuracy for what a complete, final mix of all instruments together should sound. Great job!!!
Wow, I'm a drummer but I've never watched a drum cover video before so you're my first observation and I must say that I'm beyond impressed! lol I really appreciated the mix being so clean and how you stayed tight and true to the cover without being to symbol heavy! From one drummer to another, I'm inspired and thanks for sharing your talent and craft!!
Hes playing it with the same configuration Alex did....large dose of simmons drums, replicated well here, this sound on here is actually a little nicer than Alexs. Never knew there was so much bass drum in those fills at 1:21 and 4:02, love those 2 fills a lot.
joshkosh95 I actually just ordered a 22" power ride 2002 yesterday. I got it new for $300. I also have a Paiste 24" mega bell ride and a 22" heavy ride. I compared the power ride to all the others and it always has the best sound. There is something unique and perfect about it.
Cool! I can tell you are a AVH fanboy! Have you ever thought about getting the Ludwig Alex Van Halen Signature Snare or the Regal Tip Alex Van Halen Signature Sticks?
You're not wrong there mate! haha. I think I used the signature sticks in this video and I've got a 1980 Tama Mastercraft Rosewood, the same kind that Alex used from 81-95 in my collection
+Bill P Thanks! I used the floor tom and kick from a Roland TD-4 and tweaked one of the electronic toms/kick samples that sounded closest to the 80s Simmons drum sound, then did some extra tweaking in mixing.
Great fucking job Bro! You rock this song hard. Just keep doing what you're doing, and have a good attitude, and you'll have a good chance of going somewhere as an actual professional musician... Which is waaaaaaay more than most of the youtube "critics" on here. Cheers man!
Not only is drumming perfect, whoever did the guitar cover did an amazing job too. I would advise not filming from the front though if those octabans are going to be there.
Amazing playing. There are a lot of great Hot for Teacher covers out there, but what really sets yours apart is the thought put into the instrumentation. The trigger pad instead of the floor tom, right on. Every little detail. All the way down to the absolute perfect HH sloshiness. Well done!!!
Loved it. No one brave enough to do the lead vocal, though? Otherwise than that, it sounded pretty much dead on the money. I really have nothing else to add. Welllllllll... Fellow drummer loving how great your drums sound and how well you played them. But as a singer as well...I just really missed that David Lee Roth strut and swagger lead vocal. Otherwise than that, pretty damn amazing, dude.
S Murphy Not using them? Were you watching the video? The kid probably ran 5 miles with all the dual footsteps required to play the bass drums for this song! :-)
S Murphy Haha, I don't always use the e-kicks. It was a one off for this cover, I'm always recording originals, covers and drum sessions with the acoustic so I just left them in there. Alex has aesthetic mics that aren't even being used too...haha
Excellent job, kid! I'm 63 years old and banging the drums since I was 17 and can't do this job of a cover of an incredibly complex track. You've mastered it at a very young age. Obviously, you have talent that relatively few others have! Nice!!
Nice playing dude.. But the ride cymbal it at the start is incorrect.. Imagine counting the part as fast triplets: 1 @ a 2 @ a 3 @ a 4 @ a Alex is playing on the ride 1 @ 2 3 @ 4.. You played 1 2 a3 4 a1 2 a3 4 a (like a standard jazz groove) Sorry this is so crappy an explanation in this text.. What I'm saying is he plays the first 2 triplets of 1 and 3 and singles on 2 and 4. Listen to it. Good playing anyway. Well done.
Spot on dude!! From the drum tuning to your cymbal selection it couldn't be more perfect than that. By far the best cover of that song I've ever heard. You are incredibly talented. Keep it up. All the best to you!!
Outstanding job! You really nailed it and that's no easy task. I used to air drum in my room to that song when I was teenager. I always felt the drumming in that song was the real "STAR" of show even more so than eddies guitar!
Hi Josh, thank you, really enjoyed your drumming, sounds great and really flows, also it is so refreshing to see a young drummer not doing juggling tricks with his drum sticks, if that is their thing then join a circus, more like this please Josh great job.
Josh, my sincerest compliments. I'm 45 yrs old, been playing in bands since I was 18 and just recently did my last gig with a tribute band, choosing to bow out because I was no longer "stimulated" by playing drums. I was just about to put my drums up for sale on Craigslist because I didn't even want to look at them any longer. After having watched your video I know how I'm going to be spending my Saturday night now. Setting up my kit again and learning to love the drums again. Thanks so much.
This warms my heart. Very, very cool! Never stop enjoying playing the drums! No worries! Glad I could help a fellow drummer out :)
Luciano Russo
Play for you
Fuck the rest
Fuck. YES!!!!
ponyboy staygold second that, big time!
Unfortunately, I fell out of guitar the same way. Been in many bands, but kids and life are more important now. I got stuck in a rut and couldnt get any better on guitar due to lack of time. Still have my guitars and a few amps, so maybe one day I will ride again.
Kylo Ren is a phenomenal drummer, who knew? Well done.
"Come on baby finish...what you started"
Mary Samsonite That's because he is using the Dark Side of the Force.
Maybe they'll use this as a scene in another one off star wars movie
Haha
@@zivanmatic788 hopefully 🤣
one of the best covers of any song I've heard, absolutely flawless. every cymbal & drum a perfect match sonically, the recording engineer also gets kudos for perfectly eq'ing & mixing the kit. peerless.
+Earl Brackett Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it. It's always a fun challenge trying to replicate these legendary tunes! I did the production on this cover and my brother Luke played the guitar track.
HOOLLLEEEE SHIITT!!! GOD DAMNNN!!!! I was 26 when this tune came out, and it was f-in more than my mind could comprehenddd, and yet you're actually playing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you a million! My heart is young again!!! Nice work!!
agreed. flawless.
+Tim Williams Born in 1958.
Yeah i got into that.. nice Alex licks there buddy! i've been playing HFT since way back . That was extremely good, You broke it down! legit
I'm a bassist and it's my DREAM come true when I get to play with drummers like you! YOU ROCK!
he makes it look so effortless. this is absolutely amazing. such a talented human.
...about to comment the same un spanish...
this has to be the most legit cover i can find... true to the drum pattern... thank you
seems like you are a joke also! :)
this is a really good cover
+Eugene Vasquez I agree. I don't understand the 94 naysayers at all. This is an excellent cover!
+Pasquale Liuzzi So what if he's using electronic bass drums. Alex used electronic drums on most if not all of 5150. He's still playing the part and playing it correctly. That's all that matters.

as long as the energy is there and it is a show so i applaud this once again. bu eye of the beholder for sure!
That fill at 1:20 is just fantastic.
Tight solid drumming.
Shoot - - @1:20 is the ONLY reason I can play this song now! haha Learned *that* straight from your video Josh. A+++++
Bad ass... I could never figure out if Alex was just sloppy on this tune or genius. You just proved it's genius.
Marty S you really considered Alex being sloppy?
Alex van halen sloppy? sir go home you're clearly inebriated.
"Sloppy" shall now mean a term of genius and very unique!
Marty, apt observation on the slop. That is a "bop swing" thing. It is an intentional bit of schmaltzie showboatmanship that never gets old. I just wish MTV looked at it more that way instead of focusing on DD's ridiculous mug. I hope you find this both informative and relief of the sting from Fred Zed and Lucky.

@@luckysixteen9361 it was sloppy compared to Cobham..
Josh is just an amazing talent. I keep coming back years later and just can't get enough of this. The new stuff with Jacob is incredible. Love the fact that you guys are keeping classic rock alive.
best version I've ever heard. how could anyone dislike this. incredible. I've been a professional for 30 years toured all over the world with huge names and i couldn't touch this if i had to,,, amazing
Then I realized this song without vocals, works perfect as an instrumental piece. Excellent!!
And let me tell you, that was an awesome work, bravo!
Am I the only person who thought this was a motorcycle engine the first time I heard it?
thats what alex was going for when he played the intro!
Lol, I thought the same damn thing. Never heard drums like that before in my life.
You're Not. It, was the sound of drag racing! Idling, very modified timing and breathing of an engine about to explode. No sound quite like it!
Dave Storm I always thought that
Dave Storm my understanding or rumors I've heard, that it was Eddies Ferrari on idle.
Josh, my compliments on a great job. Your talent and skill is obvious, technical ability is one thing but it's your attitude and personality that impress me so much. It's refreshing to see and hear.

Awesome job! I could hear Dave's singing the whole way through in my head.
Why do people have to dislike this? Cmon this is dope as fuck
because some people are idiot
I don't know honestly. Maybe they don't get it's a shuffle?
Cuz they're pussies who have NO chance of doing it in their pathetic lifetime; so very jealous!!
Untalented people. HATERS !
A-fucking-men. That tippity tappity nothing of a sound from those things might as well be Playstation drums. There is no meat or heart in the sound those things produce.
I've been playing drums since 1972 and I must say you are one of the finest drummers I've seen, well done!
@ David Lee Goth: The beginning is NOT bass drum, it's pads, and the lad is playing the "gallup" on his ride, not 8th notes like you say. Drummer boy, you nailed it! Bravo! Greetings from Montréal, Québec.
Alex’s drumming is just an integral part of the unique Van Halen sound as Eddie’s guitar wizardry. One of the very best of all time in my book.
Perfect sound, perfect tempo, perfect execution. Great battery.
im 65. excellent video. years back there was no utube. now i'm at starbucks 2 hrs a day with huge tablet and stereo headphones. drum videos by the hundreds. fun to watch. kicks ass !!!!
i would hate to have to break that monster of a set down
Rick Delair Tell me, how the fuck do you play drums with paralyzed legs. Im genuinely curious.
Im still waiting to hear how he does it lol
@@stephanierodriguez5498 They might not be paralyzed but their legs can't hold his body weight. Also, not everyone in a wheelchair has paralyzed legs
Andrew Ostrander lol same
Great job young man.

Alex would be proud. Nice job.. oh and Alex is a hell of a drummer. Doesn’t get his due.
Great feel, perfect tempo & Thank-You so much!
Josh still listening.
Best drumming I've ever seen/heard.
Exquisite darling.
why isnt AVH talked about being one of the greatest drummers? I feel like he gets dissed all the time.
Great video btw. absolutely nailed it!!
Not to take away from his talent, but I simply don't see him up there with the likes of Neil Peart, John Bonham Keith Moon, etc.
Over shadowed by his little brother....
Totally. I mean like, if Ringo is supposed to be one of the greates drummers, why shouldn't AVH be?
@@aidanbubs1184 A LOT of us do put him up there with those guys.
Finally I guy who played it right..Too many guys try to double bass the crap outta this song...Strait double bass shuffle...People don't realize its the cymbal riff that gives the beat the effect not the kick drum...Thank You..you rock
OUTSTANDING quality in the audio mix. Your playing was spectacular. Thanks for sharing with us.
absolutely!!~! BUT how did he get those tube toms as i call them to hide his face exactly!! lol!
but after the joking great playing keep sharing !!
I'm only 3 years late to the show, but this was as close to perfect as it could be. Absolutely awesome, both the drums and the guitar. You guys are VERY talented.
I swear... drummers must lose ~10 lbs body weight during the course of a show. Just watching this makes me tired and gives me muscle aches... LOL
Excellent job Josh! Alex would be proud! :-)
Tim Fagan ahahahahahah you're right man!
Just like when I play master of puppets on guitar
Hah! If only! I’d be a lot less chubby.
Playing over two hours with no breaks is a pretty killer work out for any rock/metal band member, except bass :P
Actually drumming a whole concert is about a marathon I think! I might be wrong I just heard it from somewhere
Absolutely flawless man!
!!!! and he gets the triplet part on the ride cymbal correct! Awesome job! love your videos!
Probably one of The Most iconic drum intros ever! Bravo!
Hey Alex... oh sorry I mean Josh great job.
Top Job mate...nailed it!!
Josh That was killer man!!! just awesome
1. AVH is massively underrated.
2. Badass cover. Wow!
Dude just found this clip .... Awesome is all i can say !!!!!!!!!!!!
Melhor versão cover que assisti até hoje. Você foi o único que toca o início idêntico ao álbum.
Congratulations!
I lost my shit at the crossed arms on the cymbal roll 😂 nice cover!
Every time I think I might have a smidgen of talent, along comes one of you to bring me down a peg or 10.
Seriously, I know great performances are the result of some cryptic mix of both innate talent and an ethic of HARD WORK! Kudos to you on possessing a bang-on balance of both!
This kid has talent and an ear for how a complete mix should be. For his age, he's very good on the kit, but has equal at the very least, if not a better more complete accuracy for what a complete, final mix of all instruments together should sound. Great job!!!

THAT was a damn fine job! THUMBS UP!
1:17 is that supposed to be the bottles dropping in the background hahaha
Alex and his little bro Eddie came up with some killer sounds back in the day. Alex is quite the unique percussionist. Thanks dude!
I am DYING to know what ride you are using! Haha love the cover dude! Best one on UA-cam!
Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate it! Paiste 2002 22" Power Ride :D
joshkosh95 Probably the best ride ever created.
Christopher Ball
It is pretty freaking great!
joshkosh95 I actually just ordered a 22" power ride 2002 yesterday. I got it new for $300. I also have a Paiste 24" mega bell ride and a 22" heavy ride. I compared the power ride to all the others and it always has the best sound. There is something unique and perfect about it.
joshkosh95 I think Paiste rides sound the best. AVH used them too I think.
Not jealous. Just envious of the talent between these brothers! They make each other better all the time! Thanks!
Cool! I can tell you are a AVH fanboy! Have you ever thought about getting the Ludwig Alex Van Halen Signature Snare or the Regal Tip Alex Van Halen Signature Sticks?
You're not wrong there mate! haha. I think I used the signature sticks in this video and I've got a 1980 Tama Mastercraft Rosewood, the same kind that Alex used from 81-95 in my collection
HIGH. ..AND TIGHT!!!!Outstanding!!!
Here to pay my respects. RIP Eddie
You just nailed that. I have been listening to that song for years.
Awesome! What exactly is the equipment you do the intro on (above your floor tom)
+Bill P Thanks! I used the floor tom and kick from a Roland TD-4 and tweaked one of the electronic toms/kick samples that sounded closest to the 80s Simmons drum sound, then did some extra tweaking in mixing.
+joshkosh95 great !
Bill P u668c
just frigging amazing! I don't think anything I could say would express my awe properly
Great fucking job Bro! You rock this song hard. Just keep doing what you're doing, and have a good attitude, and you'll have a good chance of going somewhere as an actual professional musician... Which is waaaaaaay more than most of the youtube "critics" on here. Cheers man!
Never get tired of watching this, freaking AMAZING!
I think that your snare sound is very neary with Alex...
You used black beauty??
If possible please tell me your snare model!
Thank you.

Completely blown away man! Speechless!
Not only is drumming perfect, whoever did the guitar cover did an amazing job too. I would advise not filming from the front though if those octabans are going to be there.
Filming from the front was the best part...
Amazing playing. There are a lot of great Hot for Teacher covers out there, but what really sets yours apart is the thought put into the instrumentation. The trigger pad instead of the floor tom, right on. Every little detail. All the way down to the absolute perfect HH sloshiness. Well done!!!
Loved it.
No one brave enough to do the lead vocal, though?
Otherwise than that, it sounded pretty much dead on the money.
I really have nothing else to add.
Welllllllll...
Fellow drummer loving how great your drums sound and how well you played them.
But as a singer as well...I just really missed that David Lee Roth strut and swagger lead vocal.
Otherwise than that, pretty damn amazing, dude.
Finesse and speed. A perfect combination!
I love this cover but why are he kick drums mic'd?
Why does he have two bass drums if he's not using single pedals... just for show?
Great cover, but that's bugging the shit out of me
@@morte_dave I'm almost certain it's for this song so he can match Alex's "tone." I'm sure he does use both though man...
I'm 47 years old and live in Brazil, I was looking for some vídeo about this music. It's a better cover I've seen in my life. Amazing!!
Perfect timing….
Josh, My young Brother, I would kill for a third of your talent. Well done!
Why do you have bass drums when your not using them?
S Murphy Not using them? Were you watching the video? The kid probably ran 5 miles with all the dual footsteps required to play the bass drums for this song! :-)
He is using electronic kick pads to trigger a certain sound. Then has the bass drums mic'd. ??? There not even being used!!!
S Murphy Haha, I don't always use the e-kicks. It was a one off for this cover, I'm always recording originals, covers and drum sessions with the acoustic so I just left them in there. Alex has aesthetic mics that aren't even being used too...haha
Ya...well....I'm just jealous that I can't play as well as you.
S Murphy You're*, not your.
Excellent job, kid! I'm 63 years old and banging the drums since I was 17 and can't do this job of a cover of an incredibly complex track. You've mastered it at a very young age. Obviously, you have talent that relatively few others have! Nice!!
0:11 man...on a second i thought its bleed
Someone needs to put this kid in asap I have watched this a million times and I love it Everytime I watch it so effortlessly done
Nice playing dude.. But the ride cymbal it at the start is incorrect..
Imagine counting the part as fast triplets:
1 @ a 2 @ a 3 @ a 4 @ a
Alex is playing on the ride 1 @ 2 3 @ 4..
You played 1 2 a3 4 a1 2 a3 4 a (like a standard jazz groove)
Sorry this is so crappy an explanation in this text.. What I'm saying is he plays the first 2 triplets of 1 and 3 and singles on 2 and 4. Listen to it.
Good playing anyway. Well done.
That kick drum is on point. Bravo man.
Great job. Who are the boneheads that don't like this?
the same people who listen to one direction and Justin beiber seriously
they might be my parents. . . . ..wait. my parents are dead. obama?
Ugly Teachers
Spot on dude!! From the drum tuning to your cymbal selection it couldn't be more perfect than that. By far the best cover of that song I've ever heard. You are incredibly talented. Keep it up. All the best to you!!
Outstanding job! You really nailed it and that's no easy task. I used to air drum in my room to that song when I was teenager. I always felt the drumming in that song was the real "STAR" of show even more so than eddies guitar!
WOW! Spot on! Bravo, Josh.
Lad….you’re an amazing talent. I salute you!
Dead on baby !! - the best cover of this classic on the Tube !! - Great job Josh, hope you do more classic 70s - 80s rock covers. Love your stuff !
U guy are a talent!! Congrats, man!!! U played simply perfectly!!!
WOW!!! Absolutely amazing!!!! GREAT cover!!!
Hi Josh, thank you, really enjoyed your drumming, sounds great and really flows, also it is so refreshing to see a young drummer not doing juggling tricks with his drum sticks, if that is their thing then join a circus, more like this please Josh great job.
WOW!!! You could be in the BAND!!! Great Job!! Always wondered how he did some of the drum fills.
I'll tell you what there Mr. Josh...that is the cleanest i have ever heard any drummer play that song! great job!
Dude.... you little drum god.... you rock son!!!!
You look so relaxed and natural playing this. Good job!!! Get a fire extinguisher!
