5:02 Yes! One of Lars' all-time best fills.
And one of his few times incorporating the hi-hat. It's a shame because the hi-hat adds so much dimension to the sound! Rather than going all out double bass, use your other foot and move the damn hi-hat!
@@LichaelMewis Agreed. I love how he uses the hi hat in The Thing That Should Not Be.
Fax machine. Exactly.
i was jusst about to write that
He one similar in Shortest straw. Pretty sick too.
Dette is criminally underrated man.
word
Nah, he played with Slayer, Testament and Anthrax...
Listen to Impellitteri's Venom and Nature of the Beast!! Dette kills it on drums!!! Incredible drummer!!
@White Man - it means that Jon Dette is a better drummer than most people give him credit for!! When you ask most people to list great drummers in rock/hard rock/metal, Jon Dette's name usually isn't mentioned. I hope that explains it for you. 🤘🤘
@@John-kt7pb thank you for explaining in a polite way.
3:13 That one-handed snare fill is gold!
I’m so glad someone else loved that part
Yeah, never really heard that until now. Absolutely badass.
Holy shittttt
Lars did those a lot. Especially on Wherever I May Roam
He even used the ....And Justice For Jason version!! Awesome job🤘
I noticed that...I listen to that mix now on the whole album
Totally, so glad
Prime example of how Lars does not suck. He created great iconic drum parts!!
But his parts were spliced together in the studio. He doesn't do this live.
It was over 30 years ago, he does suck now.
@@stephenkiszenia79 how many songs do you have that other drummers want to cover. Oh probably none. Move on kid
@@nroks let's see your videos dude. Let's see how many top 10 songs you played on.
@@stephenkiszenia79 come with something better bro. That's kind of weak. That's just hating to hate. There's many examples of him playing the song well live. Is it what he used to be no but let's see how good you are when you're almost 60!
This just shows how much potential Lars had if he continued to try and be the best drummer in metal. every fill is so dam catchy it’s impossible not to air drum to it. Who here hasn’t memorized every fill off this track. Also incredible cover 🔥
Like "One" that song is full of catchy fills.
Lars could never come to terms w/the fact that if he practiced for the rest of his life he would never match dave lombardo or charlie benante, hes a fuckin cream puff!!!!!
Lol seriously dude I couldn't have said it better.
I will concede your point,he is a great song writer and arrangement master, just wish he would of kept practicing it sucks watching him deliberately playing dyers eve wrong live!! You can see the look on Kirk s face like wtf, this guy is playing his coolest song wrong the coolest part the double bass!! It's not like he's to busy working to practice.
3:51 is my favourite
What I love about this is contemplating that Lars was a self taught drummer, relatively new to drumming and had the creativity as a beginner to create these parts. I know how the eighties Metallica inspired many drummers and many of those inspired were far better than Lars, but he put something very cool on the table. This was great by the way 😉!
Lars had been playing the drums for about 10 years by the time AJFA came out. hardly a beginner
@@RafaelCDet I suppose that you're correct. Listening to the bands earliest recordings always made me feel as if he must've just started playing, but that's not true. Lars did advance nicely from that point though 😉
People just love to shit on Lars because he basically aged poorly and didn't keep up practicing the craft as many other artists do - but he's been a lot better recently. People to love to skip over the fact he also helped create almost all of their songs. There are always 'better' drummers out there, but there is only one Metallica, and only one Lars, and he created some masterpieces.
@@clintonmccutcheon3509
well said
I read he was taking lessons (but i never knew who was the teacher) around the time they made this album. But it makes sense, this album does feature a more advanced type of drumming from Lars
The "colour our world blackened" guitar/drum staccato fill is groundbreaking for metal and very Lars/James. That and the one machine gun piece make that album truly remarkable in terms of metal evolution. Lars was a creative beast.
I don’t care what anyone says when it comes to his ability on his own instrument. Lars was and still is a huge part in their sound. He contributes his own thoughts and arrangements to each song in amazing ways. To me Lars and James are the Paul McCartney and John Lennon of metal
The Justice era Lars is a really good drummer with so many tasty parts and inventing new stuff @ the time never heard before. This drum cover is awesome!
except that half of his performance on that record was pieced together
@@SteveDrumz1 It was, but Lars played all songs on demo and he could for sure do them All Justice =) After the Justice album he was on cocaine and it was downhill from there in skills and stamina.
@@SteveDrumz1 in all honesty there aren't many recordings of any band today that is solid one take live recordings. Everything is pieced together and yes I am a musician and have recorded many times. Even EVH and Dimebag pieced their solos together and once they had the one they liked then that was the solo.
@@ericstoecker2096 am a musician as well, have recorded as well, i know exactly how it goes, what i meant is i recall reading an article regarding the justice recordings and a few people saying his drums took the longest to record because of all the splices / punchin’s (whatever they would of been at the time) for drums
@@SteveDrumz1 gotcha
Can tell this is a remixed version because of how well you can hear Jason! 🤟 great performance
I was coming here to say exactly this.
It’s from the moises app! Pretty sure. U can take the drums down and control the guitar levels , vocals and bass
That fill before the harmony at the end of the "see our mother put to death" part is one of the greatest drum fills ever! Great job Jon, but the bass guitar is too loud haha
Think the same … that fill is insane
Its even tricky to land clean, its like a freaky kick flip, some can do the move but not all can land it with perfection.
Everybody always points out the Of Wolf And Man fill as his best but I believe there are far better examples, Almost everything on Justice was expertly crafted when it came to Lars. I get they were spliced for a fee songs, but still making a great long creative fitting fill like that for any song is hard
This track blew my mind at 11yrs old, I had never heard such esoteric playing and ideas.
You can rag on Lars all you want now, being that he's not always at his best, but you CAN'T deny his talent! And love it that Jon is rockin' the Volbeat swag!!
This is classic and as I've said countless times. If Lars ever left Metallica, this guy would be the perfect replacement. He puts his heart and soul into his playing and pays the utmost respect to the original recording. I'd love to see him drum for Metallica on tour, just like he's drummed for Anthrax and Slayer.
True
Did he play for Slayer and Antrax on tour? He is nasty.
@@seanpierce2061 yep, and did a phenomenal job in both bands.
No Lars.... No MetallicA 🤘🏻
I love how natural the mix is and because of that you can hear the power in your playing very clearly
Let's goo!! 🤘
Honored to work with you on this! Looking forward to the next covers!! 🎉 🥁
left handed drumming is always special, great job!
Nailed the best part coming out of the solo! The way the beat shifts then back on.
That part is so tricky that even Metallica avoid it when playing live
What a beast 🤘 can tell this is his passion ! Keep them coming Jon
Much love from Leeds 🇬🇧
We're all Yorkshire aren't we?!!
Fantastic job! Love the power in those toms, amazing sound and production here!
huge fan of your drumming. These cover videos are amazing.
Sounded great and the energy is crushing. Badass my man!
That rocked, Jon! 🤘
I love this song. You did such an amazing job. Plus its one of the first songs Jason got credit for helping write. In my opinion, this is Metallica's best album ever. Great work.
Right. I honestly don't get people preferring MOP over AJFA. Sure it was great, but Metallica were on the road to invention through the first three albums. It wasn't like the bands that put all their life greatest stuff into their freshman album and then never match it(GnR, Zakk with Ozzy). Metallica was growing, and they peaked on AJFA before developing a new strategy, commercial success, and working on that before until they kinda jumped the shark(for me).
AJFA is just pure tits.
@@John-mh9ty 100% agree. I love the previous 3 albums, but I feel they really "harnessed" their studio sound in AJFA. The drumming is by far my favorite across all albums as the snares, bass drum, and cymbals are perfect for me. Brutal from start to finish and just gets the blood flowing. Starts fast with Blackened and ends fast/brutal with Dyers Eve. Fantastic!
Agreed! Justice is peak Metallica, imo. It is what plays in my head when I hear the name “Metallica” A true masterpiece of an album.
Incredible work! One of the best sounding drums i have ever heard.
That was awesome! As a left hand drummer, I must say you are a great inspiration for me
That was one of Lars' weirder songs to cover. His crash/splash cymbal timing has always been different from other drummers. Definitely enjoyed watching you play his song. Way to nail it, dude.
Simply amazing! Just like every drumming that Jon does! Apart from being amazing I love that he shows a true passion for playing drums on every single hit. Bravo Jon, You rule!!!
Nice job bro classic Metallica!! Takes a lot of skill to master this song and clearly you showed that mastery! 😊🎃
Great video Jon. Look forward to watching other drum covers. 🤘
04:42 FUCK man that's EVIL !!!
05:03 pfff wow yeah Jonny, that's beasty !
And James had the voice these time :)
Kirk's lead is evil too, great album :)
Great video. Nice job coming out of the solo, that's the tricky part and you nailed it. Love the Volbeat shirt too :)
Awesome! I have no musical talent whatsoever, and I'm amazed at how drummers like you can sit in front of this huge kit and make sense of it all. Great job!
It's all in your head at that point, and countless hours of practice and patience.
And like Lars Ulrich being self taught, it comes down to a lot of feeling IT out.
If U can hum or whistle along to music U could play an instrument.... it's all in the mind's eye....
🤘👁️👌
Amazeballs!!
This is awesome! Thanks Jon D. 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
I like that you played every second bar of the thrash beat parts (1:57 - 2:14) with just one foot (as it should be). Lars plays parts like this in Blackened, Battery, Fight Fire With Fire ect. all the way through with just the right foot and in every single cover I have ever seen everyone plays this always with two feet. One foot sound much better and much more dynamic.
I am so glad so see somebody feeling the same about how to play the quick double stroke kick-bass beats. yes, YES, that is how you're supposed to play them - there's always going to be some difference from one to the other, but that's what makes them great.
and yes there are also the quick 'triplet-y' ones where a second foot is and has to be used. but to play the double stroke ones with one foot: *this is the way*
Simply AWESOME!
Lovely!!!
Uaaaaauuuuuuuuuuu!!!! It was amazing!!! This interpretation shows what a great drummer you are and how creative Lars was in doing all of this. Congratulations from the Brazilian fans.
wow, your energy was GREAT!!! the skills are insane, obviously, but your energy is on another level. killer!!
Fantastic! Thanks for bringing back those memories.
great job man! if not my favourite cover, this is one of my favourites. the energy is unmatched.
The soundtrack of my life... This man. Jon Dette italian people we love you. Best metal drummer of all time for me....
Lars this is how the song should be played every night in concert do not change it at all . John nailed it perfectly..John is an incredible drummer.. a nice guy. When you can play for Slayer testament and anthrax I mean that's all I have to say what the honor what a talent he's awesome.. I believe he played Slayer and he played for anthrax when he was on tour that is extremely impressive do you know how tired and exhausting that is especially that type of music phenomenal drummer.. good friends with Thomas Lang and Thomas Lang praises them need to say more.. and he did Slayer Justice becoming their drummer equivalent to Lombardo..
Did someone record a bass track over this as well? I can actually hear the bass!
Drums from Ulrich's best career period. Good cover, bro
Dude that was freakin awesome !!! 🤘🤘🔥
great Performace as always, glad to have a drumclass watching you play .... can´t wait for all next covers ... cheers
Holy shit you play this like Lars in the old days Great job 💪💪💪💪
Hi Jon, that was an awesome version.
I saw you play at Soundwave in Perth where you played drums for not only Anthrax but also Slayer on the same day
You absolutely killed it that day , I’ve been a fan ever since
Flawless!
Just awesome! 🥂🤝
This is fucking killer man. Your drums sound great.
Great job! That snare sound though...
Amazing !!
Great stuff man!! Loved the energy !! Also nice touch including the bass track
Fantastic series! I’d LOVE to see ANY of the following songs, no matter if it takes a year (all are Slayer):
Behind The Crooked Cross
Exile
Payback
Gemini
Jon Dette Demolished Again!! Great Drum Work🔥🔥🔥🔥
great cover and even greater drumkit, man that looks sweet!
Nailed it! Amazing work!
Wow!!!! Lars was a beast. Great job!!! The real track of double bass.
Finally, a solid drum cover performance of Blackened, playing the actual parts as recorded.
Well done!
Excellent job friend! You nailed it :) I loved the stick toss.. way to cool. Keep jamming away!
Outstanding
Baterista de verdade, sem enfeitar e nem colocar coisa onde não tem...fantástico, deixar sem editar o erro no final só mostrou que é um batera raiz, baterista de alma, tocou perfeito demais
sim! me dá uma raiva esses batera de youtube, cheio de firulagem... 😅
Wow great cover of a great song !! Lars will always be one of the most creative drummers in Metal 🤘 those beats and fills are just memorable!!
Love the intensity in your playing sir! Great cover!
Great cover! Gotta love those Zildjian cymbals, perfect for this song.
Thanks for reminding us how good was Lars back then!
brilliant... any drummer watching Blackened covers will pay close attention to the "alternate universe" part starting at 6:30 - Jon makes it look so easy
Not a drummer but even i always pay close attention to that part, even if Lars did it by mistake it is still iconic
@@Palikroked87 yep - which is why they skip that whole thing live 🤯
@@claysmell Yeah you are right, at least they got it recorded
mighty Jon! perfect!!! well done bro!
nailed it!!
OMG what a performance! As a Lars fan I just can say you did a hell of a job!🤘 Very good drumset sound, specially snare and bass drums!! On the other hand I can't stop noticing that your drum throne is not tight enough and it's moving back and forth. Is that normal for you? I'm a bit suffering for your back. Looking forward for new videos.
That moving back & forth is actually a feature of that Tama throne. Had it myself, works well and keep one’s back in shape too.
Perfecto!
Awesome jon high energy and hitting hard looking forward to seeing future covers, top lad 👊🏻
Brilliant job!!!!💪🥁
Fabulous job!
Amazing!
Totally amazimg! Wow! U didn’t miss a hit and play so inctrebible in time. Unbelieable
Thanks Jon, that was awesome, can't wait for more posts.
Cool vid, keep'em coming John!
Awesome!
Amazing job. Your passion for playing comes through clearly and this was a clean cover of Blackened as far as I can tell. Killer.
That was great! Loved YOUR take on this tune. Cheers!
So good!
That was fantastic

That was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Amazing! Keep rocking\m/
