They'll end up hiring someone who is already in the industry and is already with the same management company, that's how this always works. These bands always claim they're holding "open auditions" but they would never hire some random drummer trying to make it
Josh, I Just want to take the chance to Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me to play for almost ten years. Best of luck with this audition!
Josh you have been literally been an influence crazy to say right especially since most stuff I fell in love with was covers but man you bring your own feel and style to whatever you play and I’m all for it man keep doing what you’re doing and never ever mf stop your a slayer of the kit man
Oh HELLYES dude. Discovered you and subscribed years ago after that My Name Is Mud cover, this feels like a full circle UA-cam moment haha. I hope Les sees this!
Ι 've see so much great drummers did auditions for this band and i can't decide who is better and you are one of my favourites and you had it full the vibe of them.Great work Josh and Good Luck!!
Oh my yes, I think you would fit so well into the band. I'm a big fan of Tim's work on Primus, and have also been a fan of yours for at least 6 years now. Great cover (hopefully soon to be considered more than a cover) as always!
Am gonna throw in my support for you as well Josh. I don’t often comment and am absolute stickler for drums being done right…..you are and have always been streets ahead of other YT drummers….technically accurate to the recordings over multiple styles and most importantly your feel is always spot on….you feel the music and you’re by far my fave person to watch…..Les…..give this guy a go
Funny how life comes full circle, I remember growing up watching your drum covers to learn songs I loved, and commenting on your videos and corresponding with you on certain drum topics…I specifically remember watching your drum cover on this very song as I was learning it. Anyway, I can’t think of a better dude for the job, thanks for the help over the years and best of luck !!
Props man not only watched this but handling Meshuggah and other not your standard kick, snare songs. Identifying the notes to go along with all the cymbals too I mean goddamn. You got my vote.
I've been watching your videos since... 10 years ago (wow). In a perfectly fair world, you for sure are the guy for this. This makes perfect sense. Best of luck!
WE NEED to share this and make sure Primus sees! I've seen the other Primus additions here on UA-cam but Josh just has the feel down and knows these songs so well.
I was just talking yesterday with a friend about the topic of Tool's drummer, and I remembered you John, I've watched your videos for years, and you've been a kind of mentor to many, let's hope you're the one
Best audition I've seen so far. I've been listening to primus and drumming since age 8 in the early 90s. Have seen them live with all their drummers (first with Brian in 98), plus Les Claypools fancy band and other side project drummers who often play a song or few from the primus Catalogues at their gigs. You have the best style, flow, feel, groove and obviously well rounded chops of all the auditions I've seen so far. Thanks for playing a far better John The Fisherman cover than I ever have and all the best for wherever your drumming takes you in the future. I'm new to you and your channel. You just earnt yourself a like and new subscriber from Australia. I knew Tim left and had wondered if they'd accept auditions from fresh meat or use one of their many friends in the industry. Thanks again for such a solid performance. I'd certainly come watch you play if you got the gig
Really productive audition. Most I’ve seen so far are one song auditions. It would have been cool to hear you play beats that are yours between songs that lead into the next song.
I emailed the band recommending Josh and suggest everyone here do the same! You would be an amazing addition to that band brother!! Hope you hear from Les and Larry!!!
Your original John the Fisherman drum cover was one of the most inspirational videos to me as a young drummer for some reason, you KILL IT everytime you get on the set, I'd be so happy if u became the Primus drummer
Tim Alexander is an all time great. I’ve heard others play his stuff but none have captured his groove. But you did and I love some of the personal nuances you added.
Can’t think of a better person for the job than you Josh, hope you get it! I have been following your channel for more than 10 years
facts
@@MauRA-ew4op thanks yo!
They may want a more seasoned drummer who has toured more
They'll end up hiring someone who is already in the industry and is already with the same management company, that's how this always works. These bands always claim they're holding "open auditions" but they would never hire some random drummer trying to make it
you beat me to it
Imagine Josh getting the gig, I'd fucking not believe reality anymore. It would be so fucking great. PRIMUS PRIMUS, OH PLEASE NOTICE HIM
Such a sickishly fluid cover too.
Josh, I Just want to take the chance to Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me to play for almost ten years. Best of luck with this audition!
Same. Been following this dude for a decade now haha
That is awesome!
Goodluck josh! You deserve this!
Wishing you the best for this audition. You are extremely talented, I can't think of a better fit than you
Thanks!
I love this snare drum sound 😎
been watching your videos for years. you do drum videos right. no cuts, great sound and tight grooves. one of the best...
@@Jess-tw4li thanks!
Can't think of a better person for Primus! The skill, the style, the attitude, and the Wisconsin accent!
You want ur milk in a beg?
So far, you have my vote! This was the song I wanted to see most for an audition. Bravo!

Josh you have been literally been an influence crazy to say right especially since most stuff I fell in love with was covers but man you bring your own feel and style to whatever you play and I’m all for it man keep doing what you’re doing and never ever mf stop your a slayer of the kit man
Oh HELLYES dude. Discovered you and subscribed years ago after that My Name Is Mud cover, this feels like a full circle UA-cam moment haha. I hope Les sees this!

Best of luck Josh, but you won't need it since your skills are always top-notch. Thanks for all the great videos over the years!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I fully support this. I can't think of a better way to fill otherwise un-fillable shoes. I love your channel and your playing.
He definitely has what it takes

Props man not only watched this but handling Meshuggah and other not your standard kick, snare songs. Identifying the notes to go along with all the cymbals too I mean goddamn. You got my vote.
I watched your covers since I was in middle school. You getting into Primus would be awesome. Good luck, dude.
I appreciate the support!
PLEASE GIVE THIS MAN THE JOB!!!!!
I've been watching your videos since... 10 years ago (wow). In a perfectly fair world, you for sure are the guy for this. This makes perfect sense. Best of luck!
They'd be fools not to hire you. Phenomenal playing.
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands! 🤘😎🤘 Good luck, Josh! 🥁 🔥
I would not be surprised at all if he gets the job. He’s just one amazing drummer.
Great work Josh. Best of luck 🤘
Best of luck to you man, if anybody deserve the spot it’s you!
WE NEED to share this and make sure Primus sees! I've seen the other Primus additions here on UA-cam but Josh just has the feel down and knows these songs so well.
Good luck man! I hope you get the gig, your groove is sick this was so tight 🤘🏻
Get it brotha!! Best of luck, you’d totally deserve this!
Outstanding!
I was just talking yesterday with a friend about the topic of Tool's drummer, and I remembered you John, I've watched your videos for years, and you've been a kind of mentor to many, let's hope you're the one
Hell yeah I'd lose it if Josh got into Primus. Play Jilly's on Smack!!!
That's pocket right there man!!! I really hope they consider you

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate your support!
Good Luck!! This would be awesome!!
Your ghost notes are delicious. Very nice sounding drum set. Love it.
Blown away, man. That was Herb 2.0.
Holy shit dude you'd be absolutely perfect
Oh my god
This would make me SO HAPPY josh playin in primus
So logic ! That has to happen
Praying for you to get the gig man, you deserve it
There are so many little nuances I've never noticed in this song, dang. Friggin nailed it man, hope you get the call!
I tried to account for most of it, but also observe the ad-lib nature of the style.
@joshsteffen You didn't try to, you did!
That was great bro! Good luck!
Unexpected! =) Nice!
Good luck sir🤘🏻 you rock
This is so nuts, I've never noticed the drums were so insane. I think you'd fit right in man!
Really productive audition. Most I’ve seen so far are one song auditions. It would have been cool to hear you play beats that are yours between songs that lead into the next song.
Nicely played, sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
awesome! i hope you get the gig!!!
I really hope you succeed, you really deserve it! Come on!! Cheers from Italy
Fingers crossed!
Nice! 🔥🔥🔥
I hope, you're doing this for real. Always thought, you're the perfect person to play Primus drum parts. Make Primus metal again!
Dude, it's a perfect fit! I'm hoping they catch wind of my vids
I emailed the band recommending Josh and suggest everyone here do the same! You would be an amazing addition to that band brother!! Hope you hear from Les and Larry!!!
Done!
Is it the drumsearch email? If so, I'm recommending him right now!
Ya I just went to their website and messaged them there.
You've got my vote!
You’re hired!
I was waiting for this one! Hell yeah!
Good luck, brother. You're style perfectly suits Primus, they won't find anyone better than you to put in the band.
I appreciate that!
As a guitar player, this makes me want to learn how to play the drums.
great sound
My favorite snare sound ❤️❤️❤️❤️
if that was my song, I would flying him in for a sit down. It had everything! Good Luck Josh!
Yes! Good luck! 🤘🏼
Man I didn't even need a back track to hear the song 😂.
Sounds good. Hard hitter, like Brain.
Good Luck bro!
Your original John the Fisherman drum cover was one of the most inspirational videos to me as a young drummer for some reason, you KILL IT everytime you get on the set, I'd be so happy if u became the Primus drummer
🔥🔥🔥 Let’s go!!!
Good luck. Dopest drum vids on YT.
Yep! You're THE man 👊
When I heard they were looking for a new drummer, I immediatly thought of you🙂
Fuckin CLEAN! I can hear every single note. Good luck man.
Tim Alexander is an all time great. I’ve heard others play his stuff but none have captured his groove.
But you did and I love some of the personal nuances you added.
I pray God for you get the job and make a dream come true!.. Good work and you did the hard part, the rest is on Primus and the Upper Boss! 😊
Been watching you since the Mr Bungle videos. I’d be stoked for you if you landed it.
Nice!! Good luck! 🤘😝🤘
