i am right handed, but becoming an amputee led me to play 'left handed'. i have also covered this song, but not as well as Mr. Dette! i agree that it is nice to see some left-handed drummers out there.
Great!!! Love how he switches from one leg to the other while driving the song. It's something that I learnt from him a while ago thanks to a mail response he sent me back then (almost 18 years have passed since that mail!!!)😄
Man i remember this like it was yesterday. I was 11 years old when my older brother blasted this shit out of his cassette boombox. Been hooked to metal ever since.
I also am mostly self taught, and I play Southpaw too, I took lessons for 4 months in order to prove to my dad I was serious about learning because I had already given up on the guitar and he didn't want to waste money on a kit if I couldn't play it like the guitar, which was a 1974 Les Paul that I traded all my hockey equipment for. I got my kit (Tama & Paiste like Dave and Nicko, Paiste 2002 like Alex) on my birthday in March of 1984, the Top 3 albums I played along to the most that first year were Slayer Show No Mercy, Iron Maiden's Piece Of Mind and Van Halen's 1984 but the very first songs I learned in full were Metallica's Seek & Destroy and AC/DC's Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution for our high school talent show, our band was called Broken Coccyx...we came in 6th place out of 10 acts, a girl who sang Time After Time and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper won, breakdancers got 2nd and a classical piano player got third. Typical high school administration bias against rock & roll.
Yep. This is no doubt awesome. But you should also check out Drumscribe. That guy covers so many Metallica songs and note for note, and the drum transcriptions are at the bottom of the screen as he's playing the tracks.
Awesome interpretation Jon. But still....this song remains full of mysteries. I still can't understand fully how James and Lars came up with such bizarre composing feats: the singing in the verse, the tween harmonies after the solo, etc... After all. these years, I still count it wrong more often than not!! Cheers and thanks all these cool videos...
Outside of maybe the originals, no one plays the big 4 drum parts better than Jon Dette! Side note: I always loved the acoustic intro to Fight Fire With Fire 🔥🤘🏾
Jon. I start to follow you from now. I'm so tired from thats drummers that sounds like velocity machines without difference in his hits. You are like a metal drummer must be. Thanks you. Cheers from argentina
Awesome my man 🤘🤩🤘 I recently watched the Metallica @ metal Hammer fest Germany 1985 concert on UA-cam. What a show so full of energy these yoots…just before Master of Puppets was released. When they played Disposable Heroes…Epic. 🤘🤩🤘
Definitely one of the best Metallica opening songs, second only to Battery (imo). Great cover versions by Luciferion and Therion also. Excellent playing as always!
i gotta tell you something: in addition to you being an absolute fantastic drummer, youre also super fun to watch, which are 2 qualities not very many drummers manage to combine.. (dave lombardo being the first that comes to mind)
Love the fact he is a left handed drummer. Not too many of us out there. Awesome video! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I'm a lefty as well, but I play the drums like a righty. Learned playing the drums that way, I think.
I’m glad he understood the double pedal we wanted and made it longer than it was in the song
Best part
Awesome cover! Fight Fire was some of the fastest and most brutal stuff back in the day.
Definitely. But Trapped Under Ice was even more brutal.
The Double Section Is Killer🔥🔥🥁🥁
Jon, your drumming sounds MASSIVE and PUMMELING! Love it!!!!
That snaredrum hits so hard I had to have a heart surgery. Thx John 😊
Great!!! Love how he switches from one leg to the other while driving the song. It's something that I learnt from him a while ago thanks to a mail response he sent me back then (almost 18 years have passed since that mail!!!)😄
Wow! Watching it again I can see that! Impressive that he can keep the same time with both feet
I think I remember also talking about it during a modern drummer interview...or drum magazine
Man i remember this like it was yesterday. I was 11 years old when my older brother blasted this shit out of his cassette boombox. Been hooked to metal ever since.
Awesome cover!!! It does my heart good to see another Lefty drummer out there!!! Thank you!!!!!
Amazing playing.. To me the very first thrash metal song as we know nowadays . So not kill em all and not show no mercy
3:33 nice hang! Great cover .. amazing song! Ride is my fav Metallica album \m/
Awesome switch to double bass

No wonder you played with Slayer! Your badass!
That was great! One of my favorite Metallica's song
3:22 🔥
what a sweet sounding ride por dios!!!!!!!!!
You're amazing. Looking forward to all upcoming big 4 drumming vids!
If I had your talent.....I would still be sitting here watching you pound the drums. 🤘
Sounds so good and awesomely played Jon!!🤘🤘
Awesome Jon! Love your expression
You are an AMAZING drummer!!!! Sadly I got flashbacks of St. Anger with that snare... 😢
Thanks for including an extra four of just double-bass after the guitar solo... I've wanted to hear it played that way ever since RTL came out
the most accurate cover I've seen on youtube of this song yet 👏
Yep. This is no doubt awesome. But you should also check out Drumscribe. That guy covers so many Metallica songs and note for note, and the drum transcriptions are at the bottom of the screen as he's playing the tracks.
Smokin on them drums, love it. I look forward to the next cover.
Я ещё смотреть не начал,но лайк поставил сразу. Это тот самый случай, когда ты на 1000% в качестве!!!!!!
Nice to see u extended that double kicks after the solo... On fiiiyyyyyaaaahhhhhhhhh... 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Lets f! go!, amazing!, saludos desde Argentina
Beast 🤘🏼 cheers from Costa Rica
Slick cover 🔥. Thanks for a coffee shoutout, something new for me to try.
Love that double bass break extension XD
I wish Lars would do that live.
That extra double bass was so fucking awesome
Lars should do that when they perform this song.
my god, so good to see this :) thanks Jon!
Just Brutal! totally nailed!
totalmente una maravilla.. que tremendo es tener a Jon ahi,, con todo, al palo, a tempo y con energia y agresividad ejecutadas de forma magistral .
Bad fucking ass!! Nice pause during the double bass drum. I'm saving this. This old 53 year old greatly approves.
one of my many favorite Metallica songs. Awesome cover!
Fight fire with water!! Great cover!!
In my country says "Te la mamaste", it means " You are the best" 😎😅 GOOODDDD JOB MATE!!!
Extraordinario ❤🤟🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Master of drums dette
That's was awesome😮
Awesome interpretation Jon. But still....this song remains full of mysteries.

After all. these years, I still count it wrong more often than not!! Cheers and thanks all these cool videos...
Actually quite simple. As long as you remember where the 1 REALLY is😂😂
Awesome.
excellent performance, nice to see the whole drum kit inverted for left-handed ;) brilliant!
Outside of maybe the originals, no one plays the big 4 drum parts better than Jon Dette! Side note: I always loved the acoustic intro to Fight Fire With Fire 🔥🤘🏾
Excellent as always
Fantastic!
excelente ,great , awesome , gran trabajo que gran tema . season of the abbys de slayer
Phenomenal. I'm looking forward to hearing some KEA next.
Then it would have been one song of the first four albums.
I Like Support Drum Covers !

Jon. I start to follow you from now. I'm so tired from thats drummers that sounds like velocity machines without difference in his hits.
You are like a metal drummer must be.
