Out of 30+ auditions I have seen, and have been listening to Primus for their entire career, this is the best damn audition by far. Great performance!!!!
I've been a Primus follower since Frizzle Fry was released. I've seen them live many times over the years and will continue to do so. Now, as a guitar player, I don't watch hour long drum videos. I just don't. However, I just watched this video from beginning to end and I couldn't look away. You definitely did your homework and you have the groove, dynamics, and talent needed to do this. I have zero doubt the fans would welcome you. I commend you brother. That was kick ass. Primus Sucks!
Luis. This was an Excellent performance! Playing an entire set all the way through; that's a great idea, I'm sure that will win you some points to get in there for a live audition.
With respect to all other guys, this man is on another level. I've been listening to Primus for decades and with the time you understand the logic of their chemistry, the way they convey it, and what it requires. A lot of otherwise technically great drummers here do not seem to quite get it and that's why they wouldn't fit into Primus conceptually. But this guy definitely can handle it! Respect for your work and greetings from Bulgaria :)
Thanks! The nerves got into me a bit, but that's part of it, so I don't wanted to show perfection 'cause that kills the music vibe. Thanks for the support!
Fkn solid brother! Not only r u spot on w everything but you’re kit setup emulates that signature Primus sound. Plus you’re an absolute natural! Got my vote after viewing at least 40 others. Good luck friend 🥁🤘
Great job on playing The Last Salmon Man. Finally someone performed a song off Green Naugahyde. That album has been so overlooked for these audition videos. I’ve been waiting to see more from that album. You get my vote just because of that.
This is the only audition I've seen which mimics the unique cymbal order on the first bar of the first chorus of Jerry (crash, hats, bell, china). Nice attention to detail 👌
These auditions have made me a Primus fan. Never was before but I am digging these auditions. I don’t know shit about drumming but I know this guy is fantastic!
Really good audition. Stayed in the pocket the entire time. I could be wrong, but I think you would stand out more if you did something nobody else was doing like, play a song once perfectly, then play it again with your own twist. If there's one thing Les is looking for it's someone willing to take a risk and be original and different than anyone else on Earth. You never know, he could hear something that catches his ear but even if he doesn't he still knows you can play what he wants perfectly. EDIT: Yea, I just watched the whole thing again. You killed it. I'm just gonna shut up from now on. LOL.
Probably the stuff that’s off the beaten path will get you there man.Id be disappointed to see another get it with a less diverse list .Also it appears you’re enjoying yourself doing this.Best wishes
I thoroughly enjoyed you playing this. Well done sir! If I may, being a drummer myself, eat a lot more red meat, chin ups, push ups, dips, squats, and plenty of running. Us drummers must be strong with plenty of stamina Add celtic salt to your water :)
Thank you! I didn't plan on doing an exact copy, I don't think they're looking for a copycat. I did my thing close enough to the original while putting a bit of my style. Thanks for the support!
Completely uncut, absolutely impeccable performance!! Note for note the albums version. Not only an amazing drummer, but a true Primus fan… Winner! 🏅
Out of 30+ auditions I have seen, and have been listening to Primus for their entire career, this is the best damn audition by far. Great performance!!!!
Excellent job.
God damn best audition ive seen yet. Primus fan of 25 years here and i think your style fits perfect. Good luck
Great stuff man. Definitely the best I’ve seen so far. Good luck to you bro.
Seen a lot of these auditions, and this is at the top of my list. Great song selection and execution.
This is a very solid performance! Wish you the best.
Edit: this guy deserves more subs, this is an amazing audition!
Le emozioni sono le stesse di allora... Ben fatto ragazzo
I love the way your cymbals sound. Non of them are overly piercing. Just so smooth
Best audition I’ve seen yet… nailed the music and looked like he was having fun too. This guy will be hard to beat.

My pick so far

By FAAAAAAR the best I’ve seen out of 50 dudes. Found Herb Jr right here. 👆
Yep….. of all the auditions i have watched this guy is solid. He gets my vote
🤟🏻😡🤟🏻

MUY BUENO HERMANO
Loved it! Great job, your timing is just impeccable, and tact is just off the chain. The tone is just tight, love that fine fill, props bro!!!

Love your take on this man! Solid drumming, great kit sound and you absolutely love Primus! I can tell. hehe.
You are an incredible drummer. Also your tone is amazing! Best of luck!
This was amazing! Nice recovery from the stick slip. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I will watch it again. Good luck to you sir!
Thanks! The nerves got into me a bit, but that's part of it, so I don't wanted to show perfection 'cause that kills the music vibe. Thanks for the support!
Go LUE GO
Definitely my favorite audition so far! What a set man!
Hey! Thanks! Primus has been part of most of my life, so I had to do this regardless of the result :D
Damn so good! Loved Duches. Super solid. Easily the next Primus drummer.
Excelente! Exito!
Insane. And I mean that in the best way possible. Totally insane. Love it.
The drums with the clear tubes are new to me im impressed with all your gear good luck to ya❤
Fkn solid brother! Not only r u spot on w everything but you’re kit setup emulates that signature Primus sound. Plus you’re an absolute natural! Got my vote after viewing at least 40 others. Good luck friend 🥁🤘
Thank you! Much appreciated! I can't deny that Primus has been one of my main influences in music, so I definitely had to do this! Cheers!
Great set ❤
One of the best I have seen so far

Wow 🤯 This needs more comments!!! #Primus Auditions. Amazingly done 🤩🙌
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
this was killer so fun to watch.. good luck!
ambitious one hour jam fest. best yet. super capable . i wish you luck
This is him.. Got my vote
Put my phone to the side listening. Couldn't tell this wasn't Herb playing the classics.
You deserve the gig! Well done!
This has to be the new primus drummer 🔥 He's amazing!
I believe you 'cause we're in the same band (? xD
E ha margini di miglioramento notevoli essendo giovanissimo... Per me oook
This is the only audition I've seen which mimics the unique cymbal order on the first bar of the first chorus of Jerry (crash, hats, bell, china). Nice attention to detail 👌
Perfect audition, not just one song like many others do... Fun to watch and to listen. Good luck 👍🥁
Those octobons sound so clean
Bravo!good luck man,greetings from Italy!up the primus!!
Sì grande questo ragazzotto... E ha margini di miglioramento notevoli... Lo dico da fan dei Primus dall'87, '88... Darei il posto a lui. Sì
This wasn’t an audition in so much as an entire Primus set! Wow! Great job, dude!
Thanks! I have to say that I enyojed it as it was a live show! Even with the mistakes in there. Cheers!
awesome drum , awesome druming
Dang, I wasn't expecting a whole hour! Nice job, dude
Wow, simply incredible…..I think I’m going to go burn by drumsticks now!
I'm sure this will tickle Les' fancy. That was solid! I've been a Primus fan since their inception. Tim pass the torch! Er, sticks.
Many thanks! I had a blast doing this, and I hope I suck enough to be with Primus!
@btko1000 yes Primus sucks. 🤙🏽
This guy Is one of a kind! Oustanding drum skills and a very increíble person!
Thank you my dear friend! I appreciate it the most!
I THINK WE FOUND HIM GUYS
Thanks! I really appreciate the support!
Killer!!!
These auditions have made me a Primus fan. Never was before but I am digging these auditions. I don’t know shit about drumming but I know this guy is fantastic!
Man..😁 you even got that skippidy skip bass drum kik to waynonas big brown beaver down packed .
If they are serious about picking someone from the general population, they would be foolish not to bring you in for a live audition. Great job bro.
This was very good! I tagged Primus to this video on X.
Hey! Many thanks! I hope they see it! Thanks for the support!
Amazing brother. I know how much work that is. Best of luck to you
Thank you! I certainly did my best, and I enjoyed it! :D Thanks for the support!
Hey this guy must be the new drummer !
Hey! Much appreciated! I certainly enjoyed doing this! Thanks for the support!
My favorite so far!

Awesome! Hope they notice you
Holy fuck .. you got this brother!!
Thank you! Regardless of the outcome, I'm happy to have this chance :D
Killer bro!
Fuck yes!!
Noice!
I am gonna say what I said to all the candidates... You know if you get a live audition, Les is gonna make you play The Awakening. 😂
Good Luck!
Por favor, salúdame todas las noches que tengas show a Les Claypool.
Eres un chingón y esa tarima UFFFF
Jejejeje. Primero espero que sí les guste el video :v Abrazo!!
Dude……. You fucking crushed Frizzle Fry…… nice fucking job bro.
I thoroughly enjoyed you playing this.
Well done sir!
If I may, being a drummer myself, eat a lot more red meat, chin ups, push ups, dips, squats, and plenty of running.
Us drummers must be strong with plenty of stamina
Add celtic salt to your water :)
LUI
Damn.. qualified? I think so 😂
Hey! Many thanks for the support!
All those angles to see the overuse of each crash
Hope you get the job mate. You are a perfect herb replacement.
Can someone grab that snare outa the hallway?
If you own those 4 weird little high-pitched tom-toms, it's required by the rock gods that you audition for Primus on TH-cam.
Great playing. Not an exact copy of the original, but still good.
Thank you! I didn't plan on doing an exact copy, I don't think they're looking for a copycat. I did my thing close enough to the original while putting a bit of my style. Thanks for the support!
@ you killed it man.
Snare doesn’t sound like something Primus would use it sounds dead or echoish
I do not feel like the others he missed wayvtoo many beats,. And his snar work needs work .NO is my answer
