ive never seen a drummer who improvises with this much control in a way that doesnt take anything away from the song like this before well done you spiced those fills up really well
We're going to make a social media campaign so Metallica can watch Josh's videos and audition with him to be part of the band, to replace Lars at some shows. Share the channel of Josh until you reach the Metallica staff, please !!! JOSH YOU ARE THE BEST METALLICA COVER OF THE WHOLE WORLD !!! I'm your biggest fan and I'm from Brazil! You rock!!!
These videos give me so much joy being a drummer. I remember a year ago i found your channel and you actually motivated me to get back into drums after a few years break. You're a legend Josh!
"Hunter of the shadow is RISING....... IMMORTAL........... IN MADNESS YOU DWELL" Thanks again for this Josh Steffen. I really dig the pounding of this track and you did it well... As usual! And no need to shrug your shoulders.
Another great cover.I've always loved this song,so dark and so heavy.I like picking out the extra touches you add in.Awesome cymbal work too.Waiting for more.
The best interpreter of metallica on drums, you could not do "Lords of summer" or "When a blind men cries" a cover of deep purple? You are the best ! Greetings from Argentina
I think we all know Josh Rules! But I bet you would be surprised if I told you all his crash cymbals are Wuhan, including not as surprising his china is too. That's what happens when then make them out of the same alloy as most professional cymbals. I watched him give a tour of his kit. They are so much cheaper too!
my god man! you're such an amazing drummer! I'm getting my Double-Bass drum set for Christmas and you're definitely the person I look up to when I picture myself drumming! could you maybe play That Was Just Your Life? love that song! anyways, keep up the amazing work my man!
WOW, BIG respect you smashed this, proper talent, loved it!!! Which i could play like this still learning maybe i'll get there only been playing 18 month. Just 1 thing wish you could show the foot work aswel
Love your vids and love METALLICA!!! If you ever do requests mine would be Outlaw Torn. Im more a fan of older albums but from load, its the drumming that keeps drawing me to that song.
Yeah! I always enjoy watching your videos haha you are a really great drummer... i've learned some stuff from you too! Thanks for your videos Espero que se entienda xD
Just a suggestion but i think it would be cool if you put all 3 of your rack toms together on top of your bass drum, i don't have 3 rack toms myself, but when i do that's what i'm going to do. :D
I've tried but don't like it. Everything else needs to get moved then. I see it as a set with two rack toms but another one outta the way in case it's needed.

The Drummer That Should Always Be
megahurtz30 underrated comment
The Drummer That Never Was
I didn't think it was possible, but you made this song even heavier.
ive never seen a drummer who improvises with this much control in a way that doesnt take anything away from the song like this before well done you spiced those fills up really well
God Hammer Thanks man.
listen to Lars live he improvises on all of his own song's (live) but yea Josh definitely kills it!
Anytime I jam w a new guitar player I always use the lars technique it's the easiest groove to improvise w and always have fun with

JOSH YOU ARE THE BEST METALLICA COVER OF THE WHOLE WORLD !!!
I'm your biggest fan and I'm from Brazil!
You rock!!!
+Neto Giovanelli ;)
love this cover. Especially the improv half-time breakdown at 4:44. Definitely my favorite song off of MoP.
Yup: nearly unscrewed my neck off headbanging to that...
It looked like he was just doing this as if it were as casual as taking a shit. He had all of his techniques sorted out and it played so well
+josh t ;)
Best and heaviest song from Metallica. Great cover.
Heaviest? No no no
Bruno Santos it's one of the heaviest
For me this and leper messiah are the heaviest!
chris berry Yep
fight fire with fire is their heaviest
Excellent drummer. Excellent channel!
5:35
crazyy
Very good man !!!
5:03 - That flow on the cymbals, nice fucking rhytm!
This is actually satisfying to watch cause the playing fits the song so well... Great Josh!!
Gotta love those facial expressions! (such as the one @ 4:57) Another solid work bro, keep it up!
Thanks
Emre Akı Just like Lars! :)
THE BEST DRUM FROM UA-cam.
MetallicA SAD BUT TRUE COVER.
THANKS.
Good one.
I LIKE SAD BUT TREU,
DRUM COVER.

These videos give me so much joy being a drummer. I remember a year ago i found your channel and you actually motivated me to get back into drums after a few years break. You're a legend Josh!
Great!
1:50 that was awesome
This is kinda my favorite song from master of puppets, i also have a drum kit and your videos has been a perfect guide for me, great job, greetings.
Excellent
I swear, I can feel the power of your hits through these headphones. Good job, bringing that HEAVY!
:D
"Hunter of the shadow is
RISING.......
IMMORTAL...........
IN MADNESS YOU DWELL"
Thanks again for this Josh Steffen. I really dig the pounding of this track and you did it well... As usual!
And no need to shrug your shoulders.
Impressive how you can always stay so precisely on the tempo while still filling and enhancing the song. Great job!
dude amazing cover, greetings from argentina! :D
Beautiful Josh! thanks for playing this song! is one of my favorites!
;)
Josh Steffen excellent and extremely hard, you can not ask for more to heavy metal!
Haven't seen this one before. God damn it's a sick rendition while still staying true to the Larsisms!
One of my favorite drummers on UA-cam along with drummer Paul Gherlani! Great cover as always!\m/
Another great cover.I've always loved this song,so dark and so heavy.I like picking out the extra touches you add in.Awesome cymbal work too.Waiting for more.
Great dude
How can you hate lars when the bastard has such an undeniable groove
Dude you are a intense drummer. I'm not a drummer, I am a guitarist, but I know a killer drummer when I hear them. And you are killer!
your drumming skills are awesome. outstanding cover as always dude!. cheers from chile!
Nicely done. Nice.
Some day, you will prevail, Sir.
I bow to your immense talent...
Amazing cover as always. Would love to see your older ones uploaded again in HD as the quality doesn't do them justice :)
Like battery, metal militia, fight fire... That stuff?
Josh Steffen Yeh & from other bands too like Anthrax - Medusa, Morbid Angel - Where the Slime Lives. You got a knack for choosing awesome covers.
Chris Simpson I redone where the slime live in HD with some friends of mine. You can find it in my collab playlist.
The best interpreter of metallica on drums, you could not do "Lords of summer" or "When a blind men cries" a cover of deep purple? You are the best ! Greetings from Argentina
I get a lot of requests for lords of summer. Eventually I'll do that one and every other Metallica song.
Thanks a lot , you are a genious !
I think we all know Josh Rules! But I bet you would be surprised if I told you all his crash cymbals are Wuhan, including not as surprising his china is too. That's what happens when then make them out of the same alloy as most professional cymbals. I watched him give a tour of his kit. They are so much cheaper too!
It's amazing man..I listen to this video almost everyday to play like you..👍👍👍
Man, I'm worn out from just watching that. Well done Josh!!
Compared to other Drum Covers yours are definitely the best (at least in Terms of playing Metallica)
That half-time beat was so heavy! Bad ass brother!
Your covers are amazing man
Never seen a drum cover of yours without the background before
I first though he plays in real studio, before I saw some of these videos that doesn't has the background curtain
You made an already heavy masterpiece exponentially better. All props to you.
My god......u make it sound sooo good dude......
another awesome cover!!!!! thanks..
Awesome cover man!!!
Asi mismoooo puñetaaaaaa...wow.uffffff duro
Bloody amazing, as always!
Awesome like always!

I have to say you're amazing. I also played drums and I always come to view your videos. Good job :D
Thank you
hats off to you man, great improv
That was awesome man, probably watched it 50 times in the past year. On a different note, that is one of Kirk's best guitar solos in my opinion.
You defiantly kick ass josh.
Your kit sounds really nice & oldschool ^-^
Damn your covers are so awesome.
man your splash is awesome...also your skills
Dude.. You killed it. Keep up the badass covers. Master of puppets is my favorite album.
I'm getting a double base drum set for christmas mayby u should have a tutorial on how to use other wise awsome video man
I get a lot of requests for that. Not sure if I can be very helpful there. I'll try to come up with something..
WOW, BIG respect you smashed this, proper talent, loved it!!! Which i could play like this still learning maybe i'll get there only been playing 18 month. Just 1 thing wish you could show the foot work aswel
Best Cover canal ever! Cheers from Poland!

Love your vids and love METALLICA!!! If you ever do requests mine would be Outlaw Torn. Im more a fan of older albums but from load, its the drumming that keeps drawing me to that song.
Yeah that one is pretty cool. There are some fun songs on that album.
Me vuelvo locoooo!!!!!!!!
My favorite Metallica song… nailed it! 🤘🏻
Amazing job, man!!!!!
This looks like it's a fun song for you to play. Good job!
Josh, I really hope you make some big time money drumming someday. You deserve it. You're too good not to be rich because of this talent.
Thanks! If only it were easy. Many career musicians are broke yet famous.
Qué bueno!!!💪👏👏👏👏
Yeah! I always enjoy watching your videos haha you are a really great drummer... i've learned some stuff from you too! Thanks for your videos

Hey yeah. I've been waiting for you to raise the pitch on that snare.
Expectations EXCEEDED!
Perfecto 👌

Damn yeh, that was awesome \,,/
You should do clint eastwood!!!
Just a suggestion but i think it would be cool if you put all 3 of your rack toms together on top of your bass drum, i don't have 3 rack toms myself, but when i do that's what i'm going to do. :D
I've tried but don't like it. Everything else needs to get moved then. I see it as a set with two rack toms but another one outta the way in case it's needed.
I would love to take a few lessons from this guy he'll yeah
You had me laughin on the stick counts haha but awesome cover man!
If you have it on double speed, it sounds like a different song.
Dez Moines - The Devil Wears Prada
Maybe?
Great job man!! Is this recorded with camera audio?
No I use 5 mics and cut the camera audio out.
Josh Steffen Oh okay I wasn't sure because they're hard to see in the video. Great playing
Fuck ya!!!Awesome Metallica song!!Great cover bro!!\m/
one of my favorite Metallica tunes, pure H P Lovecraft madness
