#PRIMUSDRUMAUDITION

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2025
- On the heels of Primus' recent post - they aren't looking for someone who simply plays their songs. They want a drummer with their own unique style. This is my style. This is all material that existed on youtube already. I feel it's a great way to show what i do on my own.
I understand that my style may not cater to their exact requirements, but i rest well on my 1000+ cover videos to demonstrate my ability to learn and adapt to the situation.
p.s. Me wearing that yellow Primus shirt is purely coincidental. ;)

I truly appreciate everyone's support! The youtube thing has brought me so much - through all the burnouts and self-doubt, the endless pursuit of learning new things to improve this or that, dealing with setbacks, polishing terds, boomer tech, misery, etc. -
it also brought thousands of people who I've inspired with my videos from my basement. And folks, that makes me cry with joy.
Ok I'll stop!

I am a 56 year old novice drummer, I’ve been playing my kit steadily for 4 years, you have inspired me to keep going!!! One day I’ll be as good as you man!!! Hope you get the gig, I just watched your ‘Mud’ cover tonight not knowing you were auditioning for Primus!!!
❤❤
Edit: FOKKIN NOTICE HIM, PRIMUS!!
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can impersonate Lars Ulrich as well as you do. Not even Lars Ulrich does Lars Ulrich justice.
Also, your skin skills are obscenely good. I salute you, Sir! \m/(>_
You're a really good drummer man¡¡¡🤘hope you get it¡¡¡keep doing it¡¡there's people like me who simply had to quit drumming because we can't afford a drumkit.so,you have nice cymbals and a nice kit,that's a good enough reason to keep going
Love u! ❤❤🤘🤘
Dude I love this guy. He has been killing it for many many years
Exactly!
I've been following you since about 2015, you definitely have a style that shines through especially on your "kind of" drum covers. Primus is a favorite of mine so i'd love to see you get the gig, all support towards you
It's not only the drumming. It is his personality that seems to be quirky and nerdy to resonate with what I see as Primus energy.
That is absolutely right..
His drumming combines so many styles - groovemaster!
I love it!
i think you’re my favourite drummer on youtube i always find myself coming back to your videos especially your korn covers. you do every song justice keep killing it dude
I really like this audition. So much better than doing covers is showing your unique voice. Hope you get a shot.
I really hope you get the drummer spot for the band! You are truly one of the most capable of representing the band's aesthetic and style.
love from Brazil 🇧🇷
This is the perfect drum content I like to watch. Original heavy, groovy compositions with awesome drumming. Nice job!
Bro this totally kicked ass, I can 100% see you being the next drummer for Primus & I’m definitely cheering for you all the way from Australia. From one drummer to another you friggen ROCK 🤘😝🤘
I’m loving all your videos you’ve been pumping out, keep up the amazing work & I truly wish you all the luck in the world in landing this gig & I have my fingers crossed that they pick you 🤞😃🤞
This is not just a blessing to the possibilty of getting a chance for Primus, but for everyone who comes across your account as well. Keep on rocking the fuck on.
let's go Josh, you deserve this!
It's simple. I want Josh in PRIMUS. I think he would send PRIMUS in their heavier direction. The best PRIMUS is the earlier, heavier PRIMUS.
100%
The world needs heavy Primus back
Primus sucks.
PRIMUS. This is your man!!!
I full on love the tension in that first groove with all the cymbal chokes.🤘
I'm rooting for you, bro. Good luck! Greetings from Brazil!
Great seeing the "Real Josh". Not only "Larsing", but showing awesome skills!
Good luck josh!! Greetings from mexico 🎉🎉
Awesome Josh. You have been a beast for years. This style comp is badass, and your John the fisherman cover a few years back was badass too. If you get this, you earned it. Hell yeah 🤘
Good luck Josh!! Would love to see you in Primus 🤘
Rooting for you man! Hope you get it. 🤘
Yea Josh!
Feel those up beat 16th accents..
Killing it.
Love the stuttered part @0:50 . Best of luck dude and props for not overplaying and keeping things tasteful
Been watching you for years, hope you get the gig bro
luscious locks, multiple style expos, and some guitar? i’ve seen enough. give this man the call!!
He may be a great drummer, but he only played in the style of Primus but did not actually play any Primus. Other auditions where they actually played Primus were a better fit for the band.
@ hey i understand what you’re saying, but you need to watch his other vids ya silly goose. he’s been posting primus songs and he even did like a 10 min primus live setting video, it’s pretty sweet i would go check it out if i were you! might change your mind ;)
he’s also been posting for about 3 weeks now since the whole audition process even started. form what i’ve seen he’s shown some of the most commitment on the youtube platform.
I want YOU to be the drummer for Primus. I'm following since 2016 and your styler and confidence in the drums are notable
I appreciate that!
i’d lose my mind if you became the drummer for Primus my love for the band would multiply
wow.goes straight from the heart to the stomach..
Not familiar with that term. I'm intrigued
@joshsteffen If you feel a deep rumbling at a concert...then you say it goes right through. It's the same statement. You feel good then..
Josh, what i love is you understood how too tune your drumkit....its hard to listen to these fast AND goes
you and bebetto are totally in !!
I can't understand how you cover any drummer, I hope you go down in history
Still above the rest 🤘🏼
Rock on, brother 🤘🔥
Killing it!!!
The ending made me smile
Dude you would kill it in primus!!!
This is sick.. I can't wait to bump this in my car
I'm rooting for you Josh! You are a perfect candidate. You got the groove, the fuckery, AND the looks for Primus!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Best of luck!
🤘🍻🥁
Keep on rockin Josh!🤘
It would genuinely be amazing to see you become the new drummer
6:30 is absolutely filthy. Well done man
Just want to say wow! 😳
yes! best intro ever.
that roto-tom thing had more melody than all the guitars in this video combined lol
Rise! Rise! Awaken! Yes! More! AAAAHH!
You're hired!
Josh, a grooves of tim Alexander would be a perfect audition tape!
Yes.
Great
OOOOOOO that offbeat ride bell slipped in between 1:15 and 1:16, TIGHT
Homie I hope you get the gig!!
This is so cool
Beautiful
Dude some of that shit hits harder than 90% of the metal out there today. So many people trying too hard and doing too much when all it takes is a simple groove, a few power chords, and a drummer who can create (and stay in) a pocket. You don't even need Primus dude. Just keep doing that. I'll buy the shit out of it.
🤘🤘
I approve!
If our man josh steffen doesn't get the job I refuse to believe anything. You got this man
Nice 😊
Man, I'm really hoping you get chosen. Top-notch and consistent for years. Les and Larry would be lucky to have you.
Please cover "Pudding Time"!
Yes! I’ve been waiting for your submission to put your socks in the ring!
So smart to focus on original material and highlight your style.
Yes your original stuff is heavier, but I read the call out and you have plenty of cover videos and alt versions to show that you can play the catalog.
But what can they anticipate you can contribute?
Can you match their musical personalities which fuse virtuoso proficiency with Intelligent creativity and originality? Can you integrate humorous content (how are you gonna punctuate the verse! Not the beat) that is exemplify the band’s tongue in cheek instrumental humor?
Lastly, (yeah the references may be argumentative but…) who are you and are you gonna be a “Newstead” or a “Trujillo”?
Lastly, Primus has a lot to say still, they take an important role in the genre, to show that you also have intelligence and a similar set of social as well as personal values is crucial. Not only to play the existing catalog with the required feel but also to create along those lines.
I think you put out a strong argument that you have all of the above, hopefully Les and Larry will also peruse your channel as the proof is there!
Good luck Josh! I hope to see you on stage when I’m sitting 3rd row at the mpls show next summer!!
#primus
love that accent on the E of 1E+A
It's called The Oney.
Using your middle on the guitar felt personal 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Josh is the only choice for PRIMUS!
Yeah
Dude this is fucking spectacular.
❤👏👏👏
I like that Josh shaved for the occasion.
So, did he get the spot? I hope so. I been watching this dude for years.
OKC, here. I'm rootin' for ya, bud! *I've been watching you since @2015-16, I think. It was right after I broke my neck, and that was '15. Math lol.
Dude!, you're getting close (in total views) to 100.000.000 (at this moment total is 99.845.000 something! Not kidding
Neat!
Please tell me this guy gets the gig
Sounds and style like Korn david silveria ❤❤
Man I love your drumming and your cover so I wanted to ask how do you learn all these hard drum parts like for example Slipknot (especially their first album) Im a huge Slipknot fan and I want to start learning this music but I only play drums for 6 months.Maybe you have good method for learning this hard drum parts and I'd appreciate if you show this method in tutorial if thats not a problem.As always great work man! Don't stop drumming
I learn everything by ear. I learned drums this way. It's like learning English by memorizing dialog in movies. I would love to teach through these metaphors.
@joshsteffen Thank you so much man! I've tried learning by ear but I don't know if I learn these rhythms right.But I'll definitely try to learn it more.
What is the name of the cymbal under the cymbal that says Sabian?
Is that natural finish kit a Taye Studio Maple? That’s what I currently use! Those super thin shells are great! Awesome drumming as always man!
Pro x series. Birch!
@ I have always been curious about birch shells, I may have to hunt down a Pro-X kit!
Do you have 3 crashes?
I actually think your pink and green sock is cool
YOU GOT LITTLE GOLD FRAME GLASSES, YOU SCARE ME SO BAD!
I this a lost tape from InfoMetal? Sick riffs kinda reminiscent of CarBomb in the beginning the way you were funking with the time.
Yes they are mostly instrumental takes from Stop Being Nice.
never heard of this dude.... he's fuckin good
Why thank you kind sir
@@joshsteffen yeah bro ive been playing drums for 20 years and i simply couldnt keep up with your precision. whew. rewatching now
I don't know bro. It's got that Primus weirdness to it, but it's too metal-y
Hi Josh, could you play the song and post the score so I can sing along?
Look up my album Stop Being Nice. ;)
Shit is great
If you aren't the next drummer for Primus, I will start a protest.
who plays the amazing guitar...josh himself? I watched it 6 times yesterday...loud. it's brilliant...
Yeah it's me
@@joshsteffen🤟🎶
It's a shame that there is no CD...I wish you all the best...keep it up...
👍👊👌🤌💪🤝
Gostaria de ver você tocando lateralus da banda Tool, eu posso pagar por isso, consegue publicar?
We should jam sometime before you get too busy with a band!
You look like Danny Carey. 👍
Josh the nuclear drummer!!!
Bro if they don’t pick you they suck
People are spamming other drummers with more coverage like crazy on Primus socials. It’s annoying because you clearly can tell Josh is way more talented than them. Anyway, good luck my man, you absolutely kill it, always
Awesome job, Josh, you are smashing that Primussy
As if Les would want to play with a MAGA Bro. 😂😂😂
I hope they pick you and your sock controversy
Sockfael is a great fit
@joshsteffen hahaha!
Your drumming is great, but can you actually play Primus? The heavy Primus like grove was great, but it was not Primus. From the audition we know you are a great drummer, but we have no idea if you can play Primus tunes.
I have a list of Primus covers.
Why would anyone want to be the drummer for such a crappy band ?
When i started playing drums in 92, it wasn't long until I came across Primus - they would honestly be a perfect fit.
hey josh bro, i def. wanna talk > drums/gear/music n bands with you , message me or email me , thanks n talk soon > tom !
