Here are the 22 Lars' techniques that transformed my drumming the most. This is only one of a few drumming videos I have on this channel but keep an eye out for The Art of Drumming sometime in the future.

It's nice to see someone, unironicaly giving Lars credit.
For beginners could be, ha ha
@@ziphone4s162 he obviously isn't as good as he was before but he was really good in his prime better than most drummers and nobody can touch their live proformances
@@ziphone4s162 Think you're funny eh?
@@sofberet8888 agreed. Lars is a better drummer than the rest, you just don’t see it
It's never going to get better than this 🤣
Good to finally see something positive on Lars on the internet.
I wonder why that is? 😂😜
Sagar Hirani he fits for Metallica, but he doesn’t fit for anything else
Well id hate for you to be dissapointed he still is a boring drummer
He is the perfect drummer for that band, and success comes from many different reasons.
Sagar Hirani, that's becoz most of the drummers envy Lars Ulrich's style. Lars, the best thrash metal drummer of the band, METALLICA.
Thought this was a clickbait
Hey, do not give up. There are honest people in this world.
XD
Arya1409 Think again! 😂😂😂
it is clickbait afterall... only technique that was named as Lars's main is the cymbal+snare on 2. rest of it was long before Metallica was founded and, funfact... as you saw at the vid even guitarist can play those techniques better than a long time drummer...
There will always be that one asshole that would never give credits to Lars as if they've accomplished great in their life.
One thing I also find impressive is how seamlessly he makes Metallicas pretty incessant time signature changes feel - go through practically any Metallica song, even straight-forward ones that seem to be in 4/4 will have a measure of 5/4 thrown in at one point. Then you have constant jumps from 2/4 to 4/4 to 3/4 to 6/4, even some 7/8 stuff, and the 21/32 measure in Master of Puppets, plus the 3+3+2 poly rhythm in Orion, and even just the 1/16 opening to Shortest Straw that is pretty goofy timing wise etc.. I think James and Lars have a really good (intuitive, not academic) understanding of time in songs and can play around with stuff like that, when almost all of their contemporaries were stuck in just going through entire songs in 4/4 or at best maybe doing self-contained sections in odd time, almost never just jumping into 5/4 or 3/4 for a single measure, and then being able to resolve it in a way that doesn't make it jarring.
No dude he jumps around because he doesn't know how to keep real time
@@encyclopediabrown1334 That's absurdly ignorant.
Well said!
I feel like a LOT of that was Cliff. Listen to anesthesia before Lars comes in. So many time changes
Yes, they play and compose more by the feel then by writing some time signature structure laid out in advance. Like MOP is great example, just pure feel to do choked crashes at the end of the riff, does not matter what time signature it is, it feels natural to do it.
That's an odd guitar.
Nah this is a triangle.
It's a microphone
King Jonhy hahah
it's mayonnaise
@@SarimFaruque No Peter, mayonnaise is not an instrument
Watching you point out and put labels on all these techniques has made me realize how much Lars has influenced my drumming. Those bass drum roll crashes and sneak attacks and Lars Ulrich beat and fill starter are all things I’ve done without realizing where I got them
I hope you constantly try to be better than you were last year..unlike Lars,who gave up practicing years ago..
If you have been watching recent live shows ( like the last two years ) he has improved greatly in his playing. He also seems to have more passion than he has had in a while.
That's because this guy doesn't realize where Lars got them - Lars is responsible for none of this.
Eatme Douche
Lol, yeah, I’m so glad Lars invented these techniques so that all the drummers that came before him could play them.
Lars is a hack who could be replaced by any kid who has taken a years worth of lessons.
@@paulweisgerber7654 he is more than a drummer
Cool video! It's easy to hate on Lars, but some people forget how many iconic drum parts he wrote. On every album (especially the older ones) are so many drum lines you will probably remember for ever
Remember in context, you mean. When I think of Metallica, Lars is the only drummer I think of. But any other band and I never think of Lars. Not even straight 4 count AC-DC.
Lars really is the guitarist’s drummer.
Daniel Rodriguez And y'know, being friends for 35 years as well...just a guess
A friend I have that plays guitar and I jammed for so long before we got a bass player I followed everything the guitars did so when we got the bass player I had to relearn to play with bass. Every guitar player I played with gets this huge grin the first time I jam be cause I follow them and almost lands me the gig every time.
they used Lars because he got them a record deal.
That’s why this channel: “The-Art-Of-Guitar” loves him so much 😜🤪😂😂
@@BigWill2k oh really? Who told you that some 5 year old friends of yours that say kindergarten bullshit. Lars is metallica as much if not more than hetfield dumbass. Go back to the kiddie pool corky
I really love the snare techniques he used in St Anger
John N. you mean the snares turned off lol!
*P A N G*
Ohhhhh, controversial😅
@Fallen Star Venus it sounds awful in metal setting. Have you examples of popular metal drummer with snare sounding like that? Chris Adler from Lamb of God isn't counting
@Serenity In Flames havent heard any band with that awful of a snare sound and yes they hated because of napster but then its still hated because snare is just shit drumming is alright
"i dont have enough toms "
I only have 2 and I can play most songs ok
Every drummer, ever
After you get many more toms: "I don't have enough hands". Dream Theater's drummer must be an octopus. As Neil Peart.
Cheese is Jar I got no problems with people that use two toms but you gotta admit having a wall of toms is the most power a single human can feel
Just play 2 of the rolls on 1 Tom you should be ok 😊.
I'd never realized Lars influenced me as much as he has. I have always thought he was a good drummer and I've always defended him, but never noticed I had unconsciously picked up a lot of his techniques. Thank you for the video!
i feel the same way bro. cheers!
Like... don‘t practicing? I think i picked up that Technique from him
@@toadetteremotewithwiimotio3330 always gotta be that one asshole who has to hate. Sorry that some of us like his drumming.
@@toadetteremotewithwiimotio3330 You are on the video of a drummer that you don't like to trash him in the comment section. He clearly practices more than you.
@@toadetteremotewithwiimotio3330Lars is my favorite member of Metallica
I think this really showcase, how "different" Lars is as a drummer. He doesn't give a lot to pure clinic techniques. He is just doing whatever the fucking song - and therefor Hetfield - is needing.
By saying "different" you know that every drumming beginner masters the "techniques" he's showcasing in some months of practice, yes? He's showcasing the first months of a drumming course. Composing matters aside (I don't like him as a musician but that's my personal taste, I recognize him being influential), Lars is a joke of a drummer and this video is a joke too, clearly made by someone that never played and learnt drums properly
@monokhem he's right tho xD
@@alemutasa6189 AJFA - not a beginner drummer's work at all. Try playing Blackened with all the time signature changes and little details without fucking up. And yes, he is definitely one of the best drummer - composers is metal/rock
He does what the song needs because he doesn't have any other choice
He did on drums what he can do and was lucky enough to had Hetfield to repair the damage done,ha ha
I always thought Lars was an original drummer. He was amazing in Ride and Master of puppets. “And Justice” was the most technical and that album had a big impact in metal back in the 80’s. Till this day people who love metal learned from Metallica and that’s a big complement to all the band members including Lars Ulrrich
This is soooo crazy. I just got my first drum set the other day, and today I was trying to learn my first song (Fade to Black) and was looking for something like this a few minutes after trying. It just happened to be that you posted this at the perfect time, and I’ve already been subscribed, watching all of your guitar videos. What are the odds? Great videos man. Keep them up!
"Lars is a good drummer." - Dave Lombardo
"Lars is a better song writer" -Dave Lombardo.
Ye but the guy who works at Taco Bell says Lars sux.
@ nexus
Dave never said that. Dave said this
Interviewer:”A lot of people talks BS about Lars”
Dave:”Ok I think Lars is a great drummer I think Lars is a great arranger”
He never said he was better at either or. He said that Lars is a good drummer that is all you need to know. He is a good arranger too.
He is a great arranger, and filler...His solos are terrible in my opinion...Hes a true song writer..
He’s much better of an arranger and songwriter than a drummer
Why the hate on lil Lars?
He inspired a lot of us to start playing drums ;)
I was more inspired by AC/DC
@@mr.e.4245 Same
Lars, The Rev and Nick Menza inspired me the most
@Michael Serrano - great comment. Lars inspired me to play drums from age 13. Admittedly, he's not the same drummer live as he was during his peak of the 80's, but he's still one of my favorite all time metal/rock drummers
Joey Jordison inspired me.
My personal favourites of his techniques are "crashing on two", "random and snare abusing fills" (Josh Steffen's Lars parodies are perfect example of this), and "lots of triplet/sextuplet double bass bursts".
This makes me wanna buy a drum kit
Tbh I’m glad this is serious Lars doesn’t get enough credit.
Ya man I agree
He doesnt deserve it he's a terrible drummer.
@@davewalker3873 terrible is really harsh men. I would say decent drummer with a great sense of arranging music. And great fit for Metallica.
Actually he gets it despite his hater-base, look how many drummers cite him as an influence. If there's a drummer barely cited as an innovator that's Deen Castronovo. He paved the way for guys like Portnoy and Hoglan.
Man i can't wait to see what video he'll do in the art of cooking channel
Dedicated to Antony Bourdain. R.I.P
Lars has amazingly creative arrangements that he really doesn't get credit for. All drummers people compare him to can go 200 mph but he's just different!
So you are saying that Lars is addled?
Ya know, I've never really thought before about how Lars's perhaps counterintuitive power-through approach to "Nothing Else Matters" really, really works for that song, but it does. In that sense, it kind of reminds me of "You Don't Know How It Feels" by Tom Petty--a classic example of a soft song with a powerful beat that WORKS. In fact, I think you could argue that that beat is what makes the whole song work. It makes it POP.
You have a very intelligent way of describing things to the viewer. Your an awesome teacher. I would love to see a Gary holt technique video. Keep up the good work. Thanks for all your great lessons.
I thought this channel was the art of guitar 😉
Man, this guy LOVES Metallica!
Music Teacher Guy yes, because if not he would realize that lars is not thaz influental and that there are lots of better drummers who played these "techniques" before him.
I'd rather hear a drummer make the music sound good, not just himself, Lars is good at that, and that's enough.
i admire your work and how you noticed all his techniques , im glad not only me find that lars is one of the best drummers with a unique style, keep up man
Emil on finnaly someone who isnt dumb
I'm primarily a Guitarist and Vocalist, so it's really cool to see another Guitarist play Drums. Just goes to show how most people learn more then 1 instrument once they start.
Just like drugs
Magnum Dong 🤣🤣🤣
@@magnumdong8437 lmfao
One word... Thank you! The videos you produce are absolutely incredible every day I wake up and look forward to your videos. Your guitar tutorials and lessons are the main reason I'm getter better. Awesome man! Keep it up
I love Lars it’s nice to see something nice about him for a change
You sir, are a talented cookie.
No not cookie monster it's Animal
There totally aren't enough serious Lars videos out there. Sure, he has some silly tropes he falls back on a bit too much, like excessively long out of place snare rolls, and bashing his china cymbal in place of a ride, but his sound is one of a kind. My only critique on your video is the part about ballads. Although he doesn't rely on ghost notes for dynamics, he ebbs and flows dynamics on the hihats, emphasizing the 1 and 3 or all 4 quarter notes depending where the beat falls.
It’s funny when people hate on Lars, but yet they probably don’t even know how to hold a set of drum sticks. It’s so easy to hop on a hate band wagon that’s what people that don’t understand music do. All the haters seem to forget Lars and Metallica have influenced many many drummers and bands. And as far as his live performances, well they seem to have no trouble getting people to pay crazy ticket prices to see them. And also if you are looking for a perfect performance, listen to a CD. You cannot name a band or a drummer that performs on stage like it sounds on a CD.
Mr. Slowpoke1975 agreed. Nor sure why the Lars bashing. He's played on albums that have sold more than everyone commenting combined and has played on more tours and more places. He must be doing something g right.
Yes you're right he influences people but not because he's good,, but becaus he's popular so it's logical people who are new to metal will discover him first and it'll make them want to pick up sticks. But still being influencial doesn't equal being good or great. He is a terrible drummer. In the 80s he was good, now he's just really really bad. Also criticism doesn't equal hating. And all this is coming from a person who adores Metallicas first four records and owns all of them (I also own black album) . And yes I was influenced by the band when I started playing, but the more bands I discovered and the more i learned I eventually realized how bad of a drummers Lars is.
speaking for myself, I'm really enjoying the meme jokes people put together about his fails. I don't hate him, he's not very good behind the drums but still a good musician (since technique and music arent always bound together) and important figure of the 80's metal scene for having driven forward one of the coolest bands ever. I'm not into sacramental idolisation so yeah he's a good bloke and yeah he sucks at the drums, which leaves a lot of room for jokes, hence the joking around. Nothing wrong with us having a laugh
Really cool finally anyone who does serious Lars Ulrich drum videos
Lars and me. The year was 1990, I was about 13 just started high school and I really enjoyed just hanging out with a awesome friend that lived 4 doors down from my house "Wayne" everyone liked Wayne, just a top bloke he is. He's forces of Metallica was very strong with in him. He always had any Metallica song playing. So I've called it a big YES for a life changing moment/experience/episode of Metallica music being played I'm finding myself totally be taken inside the song itself, so alive with having heart and sole I would after be hitting ground hard then harder and harder loving the crisp sound I know them as being the best in the universe bands that everything just work's and works well. James, Lars, Kirk and there Bass players that had time being with the band are such great artists, musical wonders. Lars Ulrich adds his drum mastering ways, fresh as the sound of Lars on the drums he just takes the whole sound of good music to the best music ever. Like a sweet sounding note/tone/rhythm of a worked V8 motor, a jumbo jets engines are some best sounds that give goose bumps, Lars Ulrich is a top quality sound tailored by him. Cheers Lars for your hard work that makes everything flowing and going.
finally someone who did this ive been noticing that kind of playing from lars lately but never found anyone who made a video about it thank you
10:31 "Simple yet heavy" and 13:25 "The up hit" is basically Megadeth's drum beat of choice (Crash on "4 +" instead of 1)
Please do Grateful Dead! Bob's originality in rhythm playing is unbelievable, and Jerry's country-blues lead innovation would make for a really interesting and enlightening video :) as a jam band, there's a lot of ground to cover. Amazing video by the way
I think Lars obviously struggles with the timing, but he does use a lot of basic drumming techniques that I think are very useful for beginning drummers to learn about. For example a particular drum pattern in the song “...And Justice For All” was very interesting to learn where he does this thing with the toms using one drum stick while interspersing it with the snare drum. Made me think about independence with each hand.
So even if you think Lars totally sucks (he’s obviously a pretty primitive drummer) I still think it’s useful to learn his drum patterns.
His feel is primitive , kind of barbaric european tribal thing, but his playing wasn't necessary...you can be primitive
But primitive doesn't mean simplistic.
And justice for all is anything but simplistic.
Same with with Call of Ktluhu or Disposable heroes...
Lars is a composer drummer like the guys he learned from.
Not a drummer but love watching drum lessons and could please do George Lynch/ Allan Holdsworth/ Jason Becker techniques?
I love your videos. First drum lesson I've seen that revolves around Lars.
You play guitar so well and you play drum as well
Everyone says Lars is bad , he never practise, he always change tempo but Metallica without Lars wouldn't be Metallica. I mean just watch their ''Making of.....'' videos. He wrote most of parts their songs with James and also arrenged. Even helps to Kirk on solos and write them. If i didn't change your mind. Ok just imagine your dad playing Hardwired to Self Destruct on around 180 bpm. Love you Lars and your bad jokes :D
Lars is a brilliant musician with a great understanding and vision of where songs should go and how to enrich songs dynamically.
Jeez i didn't know this guy played drums too! Impressive sir
Great job.. I'm a guitarist,, but I really enjoy these drum tutorials.. your a solid drummer my friend
I expected a 15 minute long china cymbal joke
That's fucking funny.
Wooow you are playing drums too? Great....normally i follow to your guitar lessons. Have a great weekend. Cheers Roger
Try doing some John bonham he is the greatest of all time
We call him the greatest of all time because he's the original ;)
Seb B. This is an argument I hear all the time. Saying one person has more "feel" than another is completely arbitrary and has no weight to it. How do you even measure "feel"? It's one thing if you like one drummer more than another for style or their ability. But I dont believe in bashing someone for sounding too technical or saying they have no feel because that too me means they are on point and obviously practice.
You can hear "feel".
Seb B. You saying that like Neil is groveless, when we all know that is not even close to reality
I would argue that Jon Theodore takes that spot. He is technically miles ahead of Bonham and his feel and groove is impeccable, because he grew up listening to Tony Williams and was trained in jazz. Listen to Cicatriz ESP by Mars Volta and listen to that beat, it's insane. And try the chorus beat in Villians of Cirumstance. It may be easy deepening on your skill, but keep the same power he has, it becomes much harder. He's my favourite drummer and one of the best of all time.
1st time seeing you play drums and im actually really impressed.
I like the technique of doing a snare roll for 67 measures before hitting the crash. All at same speed regardless of the tempo or time signature of the song. It's so amazing.
"Lars is really good at crashing on the 2, sometimes the 3 or the 4." That or he's bad at crashing on the 1.
You people really need to fucking chill, so many jealous dudes ripping on the guy who had the initiative and creativity to make one of the best and most influential metal bands. Don't take your day out on someone who followed their dreams and made it just because you don't have the balls to do it.
bwahahahaha
Magnum Dong jealousy has nothing to do with it. He's just lazy, doesn't practice (he says it) and it's painfully noticeable. We love him, but doesn't mean we're not gonna rip on him for being a mook
Who peed in your Cheerios? It was just an observation, haha.
Monokhem he’s not even close to being one of the greatest he is good but he is not even close if you listen to a lot of different bands in my opinion
Do this for Vinnie Paul pleaseee
Laras and James are very clever when creating songs.
One thing I always found super interesting about Metallica's songs that I don't think I've heard from any other band is that often times when Lars play that typical thrash beat, or what you called the off beat in this video, the guitar parts often are written so that it almost sounds like the snare is being hit on the downbeat, but of course the starts and ends of the riffs reveal that they are on the off beat. The song where I think this is best heard in is Fight Fire with Fire because the accents on the guitar are so deliberate, but they do this all the time. In my head I always thought it was so they didn't mess up Lars, as he had trouble keeping time anyways, but maybe it is done on purpose to give the songs their own feel.
For sure! Battery, Dyer's Eve. Totally hear that.
' In my head I always thought it was so they didn't mess up Lars, as he had trouble keeping time anyways, but maybe it is done on purpose to give the songs their own feel.' yeah its becaus me he cant switch in and out of the time signature. Listen to how lombardo played battery live to hear the difference
robert goyette Let's not talk about Lombardo. I can't forgive him for Seasons in the Abyss.
MKDumas1981 What do you mean?
robert goyette 1. There are no time signature changes in what I'm talking about.
2. How would Lombardo play it differently? There is nothing different about what the drums are doing, its just how the guitar parts are written around them.
Hey, could you please do an entire Marty Friedman guitar techniques video?
And maybe one about Rory Gallagher?
Thank you very much! Kind regards!
Parlamentarische Demokratie yeeaaah
Do some Rory gallagher please
Synyster gates pls
I could do a video on how to hold a pick like Marty :)
Been watching your videos for a while, as a drummer it’s cool to see more drum videos here ;)
I love these videos they are super informative and your ability to analyze all of these different techniques, whether it's drums or guitar and then compile them in an entertaining and easy to understand way is amazing. Definitely using some of these techniques in my songs. Thank you again for another great video!
This is funny because it's generally though that he sucks.
Edit: Notification received whilst listening to Metallica.
He may have fallen a few notches now but he was on fire for a long time. :)
LBP2's one and only Kitten. Lmao, me too, i was listening to AJFA
Not as long as James :P
The-Art-of-Guitar A Few???
He had a coupl of bad years after Death Magnetic, but lately he´s been thight, he was a lot of hate cause it´s Metallica and is fun to hate them
Is this supposed to be sarcastic? Because "Lars Ulrich" and "technique" don't go together.
hahahahahaa it is really true
Don't ya people get tired of being normies on the meme train? Come on, the dude's on Metallica... something really cool you need to do to be right there
Exactly...😂
Rebel With a Cause Well, he co-created the band so they can’t exactly kick him out... as much as I’m sure they’d like to.
There will always be that one asshole that would never give credits to Lars as if they've accomplished great in their lifetime. Compare to Lars Ulrich, you're just an ant or maybe a piece of dirt or a microbe. Keep flippin that burger, kids!
He's pretty simplistic, but I'd love to see one of these on Ringo's drumming!
Seltaeb true mind you it worked for Ringo managed to make a living off it and there were better drummers than him well I say that more on the lines of more technical
Seltaeb
Ringo had impeccable time and innovated a lot of unique patterns due to him being left handed and playing on a righty setup. Still led lefty on right moving fills and shit like that. Very distinctive and unique sound.
Ringo parts aren't necessary simplistic .
As Lars
As Dave Holland
On almost every song, Lars' first drum "fill" (in a standard 4/4) of the song is a delayed snare hit with a cymbal (delayed by one high-hat hit, so it's on 4 instead of 3).
So the measure is - 1. bass+HH 2. HH 3. bass+HH 4. snare+cymbal. You see on dozens on Metallica songs. It's always the very first fill, too. Or the first fill of the new segment. This happens twice in Fade to Black for example, once in the beginning verse and once during the final verse section. It's his go-to fill, possibly to make sure everyone was in the same place of time, since it always happens in the same situation. Have you ever noticed this? I could start making a list of all the songs that do this, with time stamps. It's so common, though.
Quick tip: for faster double bass, move your feet down the pedal and train just lifting up your legs (feet flat to the ground) with your thighs without a pedal for about 15 min a day/or as a warm up before playing.
Or, put your feet on the pedal, and actually play, just like you're going to - for 15 minutes a day.
I've been a huge fan of Lars since I first heard Metallica....I've picked up some of his style in my drumming as well...this was a great video! Ive always loved his use of the toms!
Lars absolutely killed it on the where ever I may roam track!
May 13th 2020. The first day in history that youtube recommended me a positive Lars video.
I don't know why I watched, I'm a bassist, still very interesting though
Me 2😄
2 great things here co-existing:
1: an honest, top-chop Lars appreciation video which instantly renewed my love for
Metallica in general and Lars in particular.
2: the hilarious comments.
Do Dave Lombardo s 22 techniques!!
Great vid. I'm not much of a Lar's fan, but his drumming is powerful. I thought this was pretty informative on his style though. Thumbs up!
I would really love too see the techniques of the rev from avenged sevenfold. He really was a great drummer imo.
I challenge you to do Bill Ward. Guy's so underrated. His jazz influenced chops were like nothing else heard in that style of music.
These aren't only Lars' techniques, a lot of drummers use these
Mike, I'm really enjoying your videos. The first one I saw was the John Bonham vid. This one gives many great alternatives to have in ones arsenal. You are a good teacher. Much appreciation to you.
Lars will always be my favorite drummer
Synopsis: Lars has an unorthodox technique in order to mask his lack of drumming. Period.
Jealous much?
I'd love to see more of these for other drummers
aspasiz Agree, Like Jurgen Ventor, another simple drummer but with damn great techniques.
First like!!!!
Love you, Mike! Awesome videos. I learnt most of everything I know about guitar from the internet, and you're 90% of my guitar learning experience!!
Thank you sooooo much!
Cheers
Best John Bonham techniques
Great video! I also like how he sometimes adds double hi-hats in fills. Garage Inc. has many fills like that.
Lars is an incredible Drummer.. One of the best ever.
Good one bro 😂😂
It's interesting to see how metal drummers took his simple techniques to the extreme and it's funny seeing his ideas back down to his level..LARS THE OG
All the drummers criticizing Lars timing have NEVER heard themselves on a recording or played to a metronome. It teaches humility.
Lmao.. or they are real drummers who actually play in time. Dumb comment dude. Just saying.
I'm not hating.
@@MikeBritton138 Lars can play in time too. He prefers not to. Which is kind'a annoying though.
@@alpyre lmao
I dont understand the hate on lars
Just start listen the first 4 albums in row you will notice how a self-taught drummer improve himself throughout the time
He is very good drummer
A much better song writer
And he is the founder of METALLICA
For the last thing we will thank him for centuries
I agree Lars isn't the most technically impressive drummer. Next to Nicko McBrain for example he can seem lacking. But somehow Lars seems so in sync with the piece of music as a whole like an active force not just a percussion. Can't explain it but he seems somehow essential to Metallica and their sound.. the drums are as memorable as the guitars in the make up of the song
Mc brain is an average rock drummer. No metal at all.
The best drummers compliment the band, not themselves.....
It took me a while to maybe think this wasn't a joke video. Made for a good watch anyway. Enjoyed this quite a lot in the end
The crash on two is what throws me off!!
haha
Your kit, snare and mix actually sounds like Lara. Nice work
You should do a video about Chuck Schuldiner techniques.
I’m really liking these drumming videos
Watching this now that I'm finally deep diving into metallica makes me realize how many of these are very common techniques in punk drumming! Its easy to hate on Lars since metal drummers tend to be "perfect" a lot of the time, but especially with their older songs that were thrashy and punk-inspired, the drumming was a perfect fit IMO
Mike is always the coolest!
I love how sincere this video is
People is so busy whining and complaining about Lars not doing double bass drum live that they don't notice what of an interesting drummer he can be.
The thing that bothers me about that, is the fact that he doesn’t even seem to try to play his own songs the right way live !! Imagen Angel of death being played without double bass 🤔🤔 That’s not gonna work !!
i seriously dont understand why people who are metallica haters and hate lars with a passion watch videos like this. i have been a fan since 89ish and they are my favorite band period so i found this video very interesting.
Lars is a very limited drummer, but he's made a very good living at it, so more power to him.
Nothing else matters, Enter Sandman, Through the Never, My friend of Misery, Sad But true, Ain't my bitch, Memory Remains, Fuel, Devil Dance, King Nothing and Where the wilds things are, as well than stuff like Four Horsemen, Motörbreath, Phantom lord , No Remorse, Seek And Destroy, Creeping Death, Fade to Black, Fight fire with Fire, Battery , Ride the Ligthning, The thing that should not Be, Shortest straw, Harvester of Sorrow, Eye of Beholder, The frayed ends of sanity ...
Thoses are very different type of songs from each others.
With differents moods, structures, and arrangements and fills as well and time signatures.
How he can possibily be very limited and adapt or expand in thoses register at the same time ?
I mean he could play ballads, bouncy bluesy hard rock stuff, Heavy stuff, very Fast stuff, direct songs, progressive songs ..
If you re limited , very limited.
You can't play that, or less even bring something that serve the song perfectly
@@Nissardpertugiu Well said, people discredit him like they haven't listened to justice for all album, black album even their early albums.
Hey Lars!
Lars: Yeah?
Paradiddle..
Lars: Sorry, I don’t speak french.
The Thing that Should Not Be has almost all techniques mentioned here.
Also, it fucking RULES.
The Tom sweep lick you were doing is the same exact lick Tommy Lee does in smoking in the boys room.
Since metallica is the main band I listen to, I seem to do a lot of lars techniques. For better or worse.
