Lars, you're a true Icon in your own right. Despite the criticism and haters, youve always stayed true to self, Metallica and fans. You're so inspiring to millions of musicians around the world. Tama drums are the best!
Look at all the love ❤️ I am so happy. We give Lars crap but we all absolutely respect this dude at the end of the day and this comment section is pretty amazing! Lars, thank u ,u have inspired so many drummers, including me!
When I first heard One, I wanted to play the drums. I didn't know you could make drums do that, and I really wanted to be able to play in that way. I've learned a lot from Lars' drumming.
So, you've gotten worse since you started? 😅 Just kidding. I'm just hackin' on Lars and his laziness when it comes to getting better as a player over the years. With all the experience he has, you'd think he d be up there with the rest of the best.
i've been waiting for almost 40 years for Lars to do a video like this... thank you for all the inspiration over the years Lars, you're my hero!!... cheers!
I love Lars! One of the best of all time. If you rate drummers solely on technicality then you're missing out on the world of colour and soul that a man like this brings to recorded and live music. Total hero.
Lars is one of the most successful musician, aranger, and manager of all time. And Justice For All album is one of the most iconic metal album of all time.
For me it's the silver 90's/early 00s one; my.. 'check this band out' friend had more bootlegs with concerts from the era than any other period. I was hooked! Sleek 'Tallica!
For real. Black album drums just sound so amazing. People always talk about the snare, but man the TOMS sound absolutely enormous and warm and powerful. Such a killer sound.
@@89Whitehorse standard comment from those who never have anything else to say. Hop off the bandwagon. Lars influenced GENERATIONS. And who is anyone to judge a drummers ability? It fit for EXACTLY what the music called for and I don't hear anyone tagging James as overrated...they have their formula and it fucking worked so fuck you and fuck your hate
I hate his insignificant little drum kit from the pre-Load era to this day with different colors, that's not a Metallica drum kit. They all don't reach the legend status of his bigger is better drums.
Thank you, Lars, for remaining creative and open to collaboration in your design selections. For me, this shows you're more than just a drummer back there keeping time. 🥁🤘✌️
It wasn't until the Black album that I even realized you played TAMA drums. So I went back through videos and sure enough.... all the way back. I love the purple set. When I first saw you playing it, I was enthralled. Of course, since you are my all time favorite drummer, just watching you play any drum set is amazing. Thank you for 40 years of amazing drumming on those awesome TAMA drums!
I've waited for this video for a long, really LONG time ! Thank you , Lars , for sharing with all of us (eager drums fanatics) this piece of EPIC history.
Lars is the biggest fan of heavy metal music and just wanted to be a part of it... he loved it so much he became the undeniable leader of the heavy metal movement in N America... dude is beyond legendary
Lars was my inspiration to start playing drums for my very first band and of course I didn’t have TAMA. I had a drum set and the company that made it was called. “crest” it was my dad’s and it was 25 years old and he played jazz on it and I was playing heavy metal and the set was so old that it actually had real skins on it . we quickly figured out that this old set was not made for heavy metal and the lead singer of the band who was about seven years older than the rest of us. He actually bought a TAMA set for me to use . He knew I wanted TAMA. That was the only drum set I ever looked at, and it was because of Lars.
Incredibly smart and business savvy dude. So so so much of Metallica's success lays on his shoulders. People can complain about his style and their rockstar era and whatever all they want but it's true.
@ Exactly. People don’t realise he’s always been like the manager within the band and in many ways got them to where they are today. Plus the fact that he’s the main song arranger and riff picker! And a founding member that named the band too! No Lars, no Metallica.
1986 Metallica opening for Ozzy at Nassau Coliseum. First time I ever saw them live! Got to see Cliff that night with Metallica, and Jake with Ozzy. Those shiny silver drums looked AWESOME! I will never forget that show as long as I live.
I was at that concert too Wichita, Kansas never forget it. There were church people out front trying to shut the concert down. Didn’t work. One of my favorite concerts back then Way to go Lars and TAMA!
Never understood all the hate Lars gets, he's just so very interesting to listen to. Maybe not the most complex drummer in the world but the real backbone of the band, without Lars, there wouldn't be Metallica
Lars your an amazing drummer. I loved all your different drum kits and the colors. I absolutely love the 72 Seasons yellow and black set. Your my favorite metal drummer and I give you so much credit you are still playing and giving the energy in the live shows. I love Tama drums. Keep rocking Lars.
That was the coolest drum video from one of my drum heros! My other hero is Neil Peart and I am humbled by the connection Lars had with Neil and not surprised at all how Neil helped a brother out! I too am a Tama player and supporter, best drums ever IMHO. Thank you Metallica, for posting this great trip!
It must be crazy to be able to look back on your career and all of your creative decisions in such a literal way. What a unique life and what a unique experience to recap a large portion of it.
Yes I'll admit that I'm one of those guys that would say something about his playing. I just want to be honest and not be a hypocrite. I must ask though... why is it that the older these guys get, the more I love them. I was there from the beginning. Listening to something like Ride The Lightning was "of the devil" to me. I absolutely love listening to Lars talk. I'm actually very proud of them.
interesting. I feel the same way, especially about Lars. He just seems more natural and chill now, as opposed to his earlier days in interviews when he seems edgy and obnoxious
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a movie made about Metallica yet. Their story is super cool actually, two kids decided they wanted to become rockstars and they met through a magazine and they did it. I wish I could do that.
The white kit for the black album is so iconic, how could it not be the best one!! And to all of those that think Lars sucks, you don't have a clue what a good drummer is. You don't have an endorsement from a company like Tama for 30+ years!!!
Even to someone who doesn't play drums this is pretty cool. Seeing all the kits Lars has used through the years was great & hearing about the various changes he made to them was interesting also.
Absolutely amazing! I couldn’t click the like button fast enough! Lars was the reason I wanted Tama drums! Got my first set in ‘91, here I am 33 years later and I’ve had 7 Tama kits since! Love Tama, love Lars, and love Metallica!!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I was lucky enough to have the Tama rep let me play the Orange kit at a big gear show in my hometown when nonody was in the tent. It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life as he has been one of the biggest influences in my drumming! It also made me realize just how short Lars is...
I met him for the 2nd time in my life at an event in Copenhagen where he was being interviewed or having a talk with a journalist last week. I am a short dude myself. First time I met him was Iceland 2004, I was 17 and he was like almost half a head taller than me. Last week I was probably 2 inches taller🥳 he is 168 or 170 cm tall. Between there. 5’6 - 5’7. You also shrink a bit when you age. But I don’t see him as short, maybe because I am too😂 But he stood among tall fans taking pic. You don’t think wow he is short. Because it’s not that short again.
Love the amount of detail and history in this vid. It's so cool that he's been able to keep at least most of his drum kits and can show how things have changed.
Lars is so cool. It was funny when he listened to "so that the drums could tell" and suggested thinking "is there a connection and a reference between purple drums and "deep purple".
Geddy was also in consideration to produce that album, but they couldn't make the scheduling work out. You can find mentions of it in several articles, and maybe even a video interview.
“Love ‘em all”… Keep rocking Lars…. We love you man…. 🤘❤️

So much iconic gear in Metallica. Even if just a one off show, especial event or something, I would love to see them play with their 80s, and early 90s stuff again. Drums, guitars and amps
I know the comment section will be all about the white kit but I just came here to give some love for the silver kit during 96-2000 era. Truly beautiful
[ I don't know why Lars gets so much hate. ] It's because in the early 2000s he was very outspoken against music piracy. The optics of a multi millionaire crying about illegal downloads did not sit well with the fans. That was back then. We now know Lars is a very down to earth person.
I like how Lars kept all his previous drum kits, that really says something about his passion for the drums and what each of those kits meant to him in his journey with the instrument.
@@redrick8900 Congrats on telling everyone here YOU don't know anything about drumming. Like it or not they're telling the truth. Lars can drum but he fucks up more then most beginners. What's he messed up? Name it. He's played the wrong tempo, he's missed notes, he's played notes where there shouldn't be notes. Hell Lars has admitted making mistakes live and on the studio versions which makes you, pretty damn stupid.
Lots of haters but this guy has influenced so many bands that they listen to😂. Lars was one of the few drummers that started my drumming journey. Guy is truly Legend whether you like to admit it or not.
Definitely cool seeing this, Lars always had such cool kits but his Justice/Black Album kits will always be iconic but I've always loved all of his drum sets and I'm still super stoked to see him and Metallica live in Toronto next year
We make fun of the memes now but at his peak, he sure was iconic and influential as a drummer. Aug 2013, Singapore, forever remembered in my memory banks!
One of the things I love about Lars is that he knows his dates. I find myself doing that, and it's interesting hearing the accurate chronolgy of events.
Lars’ unwavering loyalty to TAMA for all those years speaks to how that company values the relationships they have with their artists. TAMA must be a damn good company to keep Lars onboard for 40 years
It would appear to be a horrid moment in rock to have the best drummer in history recommend a guy that can NOT play drums as the face of TAMA, but when you realize Neil had moved to Ludwig in 1987, it makes sense.
Lars talking about his drum kits is what I needed I wait my whole life for this, thank you Metallica and Tama My favorite will be always the white tama from Black album!
And EMG pickups too. It's interesting how unlike other metal musicians they have stuck with these brands for so long. The endorsement deals must have been sweet from day one.
I love Lars... always have, a great drummer (the haters can do one) he's so funny as well, love listening to him. Metallica..the greatest metal band known to mankind, thank you for 40+ yrs of amazing music!
@vipersb1 Of course, the one from St. Anger. Reminds me of banging on pots, pans, and garbage cans, before I got my first drum set a hundred years ago. 🤘😉🤘
That white Tama kit will always be iconic :)

Or one of them lol there was at least 2 on the black album and I wouldn't doubt there's a 3rd one as back up
I love how much you can see Lars remembering these kits with so much heart. Its so cool seeing Lars geek over his drums at his age
I can’t even remember what I did yesterday! Very cool to hear him go back! Let’s see Dave Lombardo next!

Same brother 😢 I feel you. He finally showed all his gear which I swear he has more than three original sets for each one! For the last one has six…

There has been a video made about 10 years ago by the youtube channel "Guitar Center" where he also talks about his drumsets and Tama

TAMA was THE brand for thrash metal. Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, Charlie Benante, Nick Menza, and Louie Clemente all used Tama.
John Tempesta

Love u so much Lars ❤people who hate on u don’t know anything about drums ur the reason I started playing drums love u bro
We make fun of the memes now but at his peak, he sure was iconic and influential as a drummer. Aug 2013, Singapore, forever remembered in my memory banks!
Was surprisingly touching to see him go down memory lane with those of us who have followed them along the way.
This was fun to see all the kits in one space! Thanks for celebrating Lars’ kit history!
One of the things I love about Lars is that he knows his dates. I find myself doing that, and it's interesting hearing the accurate chronolgy of events.
ドラムはもちろんですが、後ろにある年季入った輸送箱がカッコ良すぎます👍✨📦
How can you not love Lars. Also, pretty cool how Neil Peart got him in contact with Tama.
Say whatever you want, but Lars changed metal drumming history 🗿 🫡 ⚒
Lars’ unwavering loyalty to TAMA for all those years speaks to how that company values the relationships they have with their artists. TAMA must be a damn good company to keep Lars onboard for 40 years
As a Canadian, it was cool to hear how Neil Peart got Lars involved with Tama
It would appear to be a horrid moment in rock to have the best drummer in history recommend a guy that can NOT play drums as the face of TAMA, but when you realize Neil had moved to Ludwig in 1987, it makes sense.
Lars is my hero, this guy is amazing. I love his load kit, so I rebuild my tama rockstar kit to his silver kit. Thank you lars 👍
TAMA hardware continues to support powerful drumming! It's the best tag!
Lars talking about his drum kits is what I needed
I wait my whole life for this, thank you Metallica and Tama
My favorite will be always the white tama from Black album!
Man, i can listen to Lars all day 🤟
You can tell he loves to listen to himself talk as well
Thanks Lars for all your work and drum parts. You have inspired so much of us to play drums, but also to play Tama drum kits !
Tama is for Lars as ESP and Gibson are for James and Kirk!
😢 4:42
And EMG pickups too. It's interesting how unlike other metal musicians they have stuck with these brands for so long. The endorsement deals must have been sweet from day one.
I love Lars... always have, a great drummer (the haters can do one) he's so funny as well, love listening to him. Metallica..the greatest metal band known to mankind, thank you for 40+ yrs of amazing music!
That Tama Lars snare is badass. I want one.
Love the diamondplate look
Not the one from St Anger, right?! 🤣
@vipersb1 Of course, the one from St. Anger. Reminds me of banging on pots, pans, and garbage cans, before I got my first drum set a hundred years ago. 🤘😉🤘
That snare he played on death magnetic was badass
