Ha ha, cracking version of a classic Maiden tune there pal, love it and great fluid style! Keep up the good work, enjoy your vids a lot, just wish i could be arsed doing some myself...
Amazing job, man! A little bit exaggerated for sure, but cymbals are great! Specially hi-hats and splashs. Also, some drum fills are pretty similar to Mike's ones. You rock!
Brilliant rendition of a Maiden class. Only discovered you a few days ago, and being a fellow drummer i applaud you. keep up the good work and keep it metal \m/
After the TH-cam algo pushed a lot of you Getting Larsed videos (and I barely know any Metallica song but laughed at the insanity of the single stroke rolls), I reaaaaaally did enjoy this one as you captured one of the only drummer whose style I really know ! I guess he didn't invent anything but those quick 16th or 32th note tricks on the ride + hat might be my fave. Starting from the 2nd minute i was grinning ear to ear. Well, very well played, sir ! (yeah, i know, i'm late to the party)
been watching your vids lately and I must say I'm impressed! after watching 6/7 of your previous vids on Mr Ulrich I started to second question myself that this guy is a really awesome drummer. So from today I gonna have to subscribe this channel and congrats you have a big blue thumbs up from me. and I also love the passion and expression you put into every hit. cool dude hope to see more vids in the upcoming weeks
You have excellent mastery over various styles of drummers. You're probably the first drummer on youtube to think of this concept, and you really do deliver it man! Keep up the fanfuckintastic work!! \m/
Hi Josh ! I just want to say that you are a very very good drummer , i wanna be like you don't stop playing drums , cause you are amazing , regards from Mexico!
Subscription earned. Some of those fills made me laugh my ass off. The similarities to Portnoy's technical yet over the top style were dead on. Great stuff dude!

The singer from Dream Theatre sounded like Maiden's singer a bit, the over vibrato in the chorus and stuff, so this pretty much makes it like a DT song now haha
It is completely amazing how you can take a player's style of drumming and play a song from a band that has a completely different style, and still play accurately I usually tell stupid drummers "Dude, you cant portnoy a Maiden-like song" and you just did and it sounded preetty nice...Good thing they haven't used this as an argument hehe... Kudos Bro, keep it up Also, now I'm really seeing a dream theater album cover over this haha
This is really cool, awesome job Josh! On a side note, could you please try Blinded in Chains?? That would be so cool, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people want it.
I need to change my underwear every time I listen to that snare-kick part at around 2:50 in blinded in chains. BA DADA BA DADA BA, BA DADA BA DADA BA, BA DADA BA, BA DADA BA DADA BA, BUDUDADA BUDADADA BUDADADA DUH DUH BA DUH DUH BA "most would claim I live a lie etc. " I actually went back to the song to make sure i wrote that fill right haha. Badass song
+Joel Denning i only just got it down recently. Working up to the speed of some of those double bass runs took a while, but I got it eventually haha. All it is is practice
+Hudson Barth very true. Sadly it's hard to practice because it pisses my neighbours off haha but I'm getting an electric kit soon, so hopefully that will help.
Can I please ask for Gavin Harrison inspired Metallica?! It would make them sound soooo much better. Gavin has so much feel and touch it's unbelievable.
Estevan Lerma it think is not that hard, Gavin has some “signature” riffs like alternating between ride (bell sometimes) and small toms, hmm I don’t know how to explain it, I’m not and expert and English isn’t my mother language. I hope you got the idea.
@@lucaschacon8362 He has certain rudiment-heavy drum fills that are not easy to replicate, along with those awesome, smooth shuffles and ascending drum fills he likes to do. He's a very difficult drummer to copy.
te comiste entero el liquid drum theater. muy bueno. lo unico es que aún Portnoy no rellena tanto durante los solos , toca más tranquilo para que se luzca John o jordan. great work.
The random cowbell at 2:10 is the key to the portnoy universe.
Hahahaha
Literally laughed out loud haha Thanks for this
Lmao! Thank you for that, needed a real laugh
Best drum serie on TH-cam! :D
Challange: The Dance of Eternity Lars Ulrich style! haha
the dance of Lars?
+Ayush Aripirala The Larce Of Eternity
The Lars Of Eternity.
hell yea
The Dance Of Larsternity
High toms: 9/10
Overuse of splashes: 10/10
Unnecessary hi hat rolls: 10/10
Making 4/4 sound like odd time: 8/10
Very well done :)
ACCURATE AF
I don't think it's really that unnecessary in a progressive metal band.
>"Overuse"
>"Unnecessary"
_WRONG_
No spitting: 0/10
@@gianfrixmg AHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂
How about a Tom Sawyer drum cover by Dave Lombardo?
YAAAAS
haaha Lombardo said he was never a fan of prog, although that would be awesome!
Iron Maiden automatically becomes "Progressive metal" with Portnoy-style
technodeath I'm fairly sure that Iron Maiden was one of the primary sources of progressive metal.
Ωery Creative approach to this song .. it made it completely new ....
Audio production here is the best yet . Nice Video
still can't believe. amazing Josh
First time stumbling upon your channel. Liked and subscribed. Can't wait to watch more of your vids.
Needs a boom mic swinging in for backing vocals on the choruses for full Portnoy. :-)
+neilomac also a drum tech to spray my hands with a squirt bottle.
And spits like a camel during the song
@@josecarlossalgado8333 surprisingly he doesn't do this anymore. Maybe he figured out how disgusting it was.
This world needs 2 more minutes for Mr. LOMBARDO
Love your style and technique.
nice socks Josh lol.
seriously you are very quick on them drums. crazy fills as always
This just never stops being awesome!! Please do more portnoy style covers!
Awesome! My favourite! 😁
Simply excellent !
Just starting watching, love this series.
man you play very good and make it look very easy! great!
Man! I just found your channel. You are a fucking genius. Your ability to emulate other people is freaky. That's an amazing talent. Wow!
Ha ha, cracking version of a classic Maiden tune there pal, love it and great fluid style! Keep up the good work, enjoy your vids a lot, just wish i could be arsed doing some myself...
Fucking weird to see 'Portnoy' play a song in 4/4 :D
Somehow, but what about Adrenaline Mob or Winery Dogs? xD
True xd
ikr it's always gotta be a fucking 13/7 beat cuz DT
+zackattack94 exaggeration bro, exaggeration
I Was thinking the Same xD
Amazing job, man! A little bit exaggerated for sure, but cymbals are great! Specially hi-hats and splashs. Also, some drum fills are pretty similar to Mike's ones. You rock!
Great cover!
This sounds really great
I liked the drums and the music you play well
love how you make a great song better
Excellent work sir!
Those fills in the beginning honestly made it for me. I was smiling the whole time. Amazing playing as always josh!

So good.Dude, you crack me up.
amazing dude,i wish someday i get to play like you do,keep on rocking brother!!
Badass man, I love that style of playing. More please!
You have excellent mastery over various styles of drummers. You're probably the first drummer on youtube to think of this concept, and you really do deliver it man! Keep up the fanfuckintastic work!! \m/
Holy shit Josh that was awesome!!! Amazing as usual man.
You legend, great cover and hilarious hearing 'Portnoy' do Maiden!!
I knew you'd Portnoy up a song! It was just bound to happen. Gotta love exploiting the max splash and roto-toms lol. Great work as always ;)
On Portnoy's kit they're actually octobans :P
seriously awesome !
I love these video's mashing the different styles.
Any plans to do some Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan style videos?
Love the drum set adaptation for each drummer.
oh wait... no need.
Your playing looks and sounds great!
This guy is one of my inspiration when it comes to drum playing ... please be a part of a band . ..
aww man I was really expecting the big portnoy roll around the kit at the end. great cover definitely do more portnoy/DT
Dude, awesome as usual🤘🏻
Amazing hi hat work... just like that crazy dude. Cheers!
perfect!
Damn this is great. this is my favorite one by far. great job
So awesome! Love it!!!
Great shit as always, this is why I subbed

bill murray makes me a little nervous when he plays the drums
That straight up gave me CHILLS, fantastic job once again Josh!
Love this series!
This style fits the song actually pretty well :) great job as always
The singer from Dream Theatre sounded like Maiden's singer a bit, the over vibrato in the chorus and stuff, so this pretty much makes it like a DT song now haha
+Matt LeMasters Kinda, but Labrie is the feminist version of Dickinson.
Sounded like Maiden's singer a bit????? You seriously did not know who Bruce Dickinson is? WTF
you mean femenine
I read somewhere that LaBrie was considered as a replacement for Dickinson when he left Iron Maiden.
you mean feminine?
It's Dream Maiden! Awesome job! Keep the Lars songs coming too, love those.
love it; keep em coming!
What about something with Neil Peart style?
Yessssss
How about YYZ Joey Jordison style?
+Ionicent how about any DT, tool or rush song lars style :)))
+Arda Gürcü That would be cool
+Arda Gürcü 46 and lars
I love this so much!!

Extreamly awsome. The intro came and I allready lought my ass of!!!!
Angel of Death Lars style
yes plis
Lars of death
Death of lars
Anger of Lars
Angel of Lars xD
This is hilariously accurate. Well done man!
Josh o great one, you HAVE to cover Stream of Consciousness, not studio but Budokan!! Your Instrumedley sounded flawless btw :)
many times I've seen your videos motivate me to buy a battery
so now practicing!
I hope this well written ... I'm from chile lml
+Cristobal Valenzuela Thanks!
Está casi bien escrito, cumpita, un par de errores gramaticales no más, y batería (el instrumento musical) se traduce como "drums" o "drumkit"
jaja valee compa! para la otra sale jaja vale igual habia olvidado eso de los drums y eso que lo veo a diario en varios videos y cosas asi jaja
Excellent! It sounded great,plus it sounded like maybe Nicko,and Mike,and yourself,got together and wrote a kickass new version.
Chris Adler version of Hotline bling
Please don't
PLEASE YES HAHAHAHAHAHA
That would be awesome!
*doesn't show up at all, cause it's a shitty song*
WTF man. 😄
Digno de imitar el GRAN MIKE PORTNOY!! Excelente vídeo!
That was spot on bro love it
Why were the "to kill" vocal lines cut from the choruses? Something to do with demonetization?
It's a drumless version I found on youtube. My recent uploads have plenty of sassy language.
your drummers impressions are really good! You should try to play a song with Nick Menza's drumming style! it would be awesome!
Can I please ask for Gavin Harrison inspired Metallica?! It would make them sound soooo much better. Gavin has so much feel and touch it's unbelievable.
That would be really hard, he is not easy to emulate
Estevan Lerma it think is not that hard, Gavin has some “signature” riffs like alternating between ride (bell sometimes) and small toms, hmm I don’t know how to explain it, I’m not and expert and English isn’t my mother language. I hope you got the idea.

OMG YES
AC/DC with Portnoy style please
I like this more than the original drum track, good job!
That cowbell in 02:10.. !! HAHAHAAHAHAAHAH xD
Needs more Portnoy
this is bullshit portnoy didn't do 4/4, and why the hell the tempo didn't change... lol
take it easy there, buddy.
+Josh Steffen just don't listen to him man....awsm cover... you rule.... plz start a band though
that was a joke
I felt your sarcasm! :D Hope Josh did too, cause you couldn't be more obv :D
Pull me under is entirely 4/4
Awesome as always man, could you do a song in the style of The Rev??
Not enough snare off-beats. 7/10
Jokes aside, your drumming is insanely accurate!
You're a mad genius Josh !!!!
Sounds great !! Are the two toms on the left from your sons kit again or did you get some roto toms? Awesome drumming!!
how about dance of ulrich? (dance of eternity/lars ulrich)
Two Minutes to Midnight. What a track! Could play it all night long!
Could you do Ghost B.C covers?
te comiste entero el liquid drum theater. muy bueno. lo unico es que aún Portnoy no rellena tanto durante los solos , toca más tranquilo para que se luzca John o jordan. great work.
Hey Josh, ever listened to Cold Snap? It would be really nice if you covered Structure of moshpit or Genocide
Back in Black- Chris Adler style
You are getting better by the day...:)
those who dislike are just drummers who can't do the mcbrain version right.. great work bud, this song and all the great work on this channel👍
i need the your version of lines in the sand, dream theater🍻
if vinnie paul played for acdc lol
+axllovesslash working on it
+Josh Steffen I still can't watch the symphony of larstruction its saying video unavailable... Any idea why ?
***** thanks
see man!! wheres my cred?
Wouldn't be much of a difference
Crazy train man! I'd like to see you playing Fight from gamma ray!
Awesome! Mike Portnoy must watch it! Good job!! #Subscribed!
Thanks man. I posted this on my fb page and he replied! That made my week, and then some.
Set is getting biger and biger....nice cover man ;)
