Josh is actually a robot! He can play anything and does it always with greatness. He was with Foo Fighters last night and was phenomenal. great player.
NIN is one of the most prime examples of a human playing along with a drum machine in flawless harmony.. The human gives the AI the soul and the AI give the human technicallity. Its also very similar in case to a band like Ministry, or KMFDM.
I saw him with A Perfect Circle years ago and at the time had a broken right foot…so he played all the base drum parts off the double bass pedal with his left foot…and you literally couldn’t tell the difference. The only reason I knew is because Maynard told everyone.
@@brandonboucher7090 What year was that man? I saw him with A PERFECT CIRCLE in Melbourne (years ago too) but his foot was intact. He was embellishing with double bass runs in many tracks ... it was awesome to watch and sounded incredible. Edit : That’s Melbourne 🇦🇺
I believe John used a Jeff Ocheltree 8x14 Paiste Bronze Spirit of 2002 snare on this tour. The same snare Danny Carey uses. The thing is monster. But add a trigger and you get the greatest snare tone out there.
The current drummer for NIN, Ilan Rubin, recently posted a drum cam video on his channel too! th-cam.com/video/KLsuY6P5d1Y/w-d-xo.html Would be cool to get a reaction for the comparison, see if they have any different techniques
Here’s a perfect example example or Josh showing versatility that Taylor could never reach. Granted Taylor didn’t need this type or skill set with Alanis or FF but Josh is an alien on the highest level. It’s likely that Dave Grohl is never going to fully comprehend what he has within his band now & what level that Josh can take his band.
I saw Josh drumming with A PERFECT CIRCLE in Melbourne years ago. He was so tight and clean (with a degree of showmanship), staying in the pocket all night. Exceptional session drummer responsible for many good drum tracks, on many albums for many top bands.
There is a trigger and a mic on the snare ;) that´s how you get that sound! i´ll bet this sound is 80% trigger, 20% mic. i usually use the mic for attack with a hard compression and the nice warm and clear body of the triggersignal and because there is no bleed in the trigger signal, you can add as much high end as you like without having a ton of hihat bleed being raised too. There is always a little latency between mic and trigger which you´ll have to manage. either with a little bit of input delay or getting rid of the attack in the trigger signal and just use the sustain, where a few millisec. of latency just doesn´t bother. this way it will also always sound natural, because you have a real live played attack, so the snare sounds different with every hit....like an natural snare. ;) love your vids!!
Snare drum- He's using a trigger. They change it up on almost every song, and blend it with the acoustic snare. You can actually hear him catch a little more rim when he goes to the hat.
Josh has had a long and varied career, it's easy to understand why. As for snare tones I'd like to add Matt Cameron, Jimmy Chamberlain and Mike Bordin to the mix. Very identifiable.
I remember taking lessons at a music store and they had a poster of him (this was like 20 or more years ago I think). I didn't know who he was until I started noticing him more and more. He seems like one of those drummers that isn't always noticed, but then you realize he's a drum God once you run into him. I heard he's nice as heck too!
I've been a NIN fan from a looong time ago. and i remember when i saw this vid: th-cam.com/video/mWZzEZsx66A/w-d-xo.html .... i was blown away by the drums....went on to get his name.... that's he day i learned who josh freese is. Precise like a machine, was really happy to see him nail it at the taylor hawkins tribute in London. He could be a totally credible candidate to fill in with the foo fighters.
If you watch the Wish video you can see a trigger on the snare next to the microphone. They are likely mixing live with a well designed velocity sensitive sample. Doesn’t take away from his playing at all, we just know that Trent demands the highest quality live sound he can get.
I don't know if you had done it. If you did I will have to look back but, watch the jay Weinberg and max Weinberg playing side by side video. It's really nice seeing both of their playing styles side by side playing the same music

Drums & Coffee!
🥁☕🙌

Hopefully Dave doesn't kill him too!
Absolute freak of a player. Thank you for the pick Erlinda!

Yes! Machine like but with humanity
Damm just please watch "The perfect drug live" pleassssse the drum solo is just fucking insane, cheers from Montréal ❤️✌️
Killer snare tones… Paul Seidel, Baard Kolstad, Vlad Ulasevich , Danny Carey , Ash Soan
YES!!
I forgot about Vlad!
I saw him with A Perfect Circle years ago and at the time had a broken right foot…so he played all the base drum parts off the double bass pedal with his left foot…and you literally couldn’t tell the difference. The only reason I knew is because Maynard told everyone.
That's just wrong. How!? He's an alien
@@AndrewRooneyDrums seriously

Edit : That’s Melbourne 🇦🇺
I remember that tour. Super impressive.
Best ever Josh Freese is The Vandals, Be a good robot is great, not sure there is a video though.
I need to check out the vandals
I believe John used a Jeff Ocheltree 8x14 Paiste Bronze Spirit of 2002 snare on this tour. The same snare Danny Carey uses. The thing is monster. But add a trigger and you get the greatest snare tone out there.
Josh is absolutely terrifying.
He’s an alien 👽

What always impressed me about Josh is his flawless playing, he's a recording box that can just sit down and record any album.
YUP!

Yup total different beast

100% correct
He is by far one of my top 5 favorite drummers.
Flawless every time
@@AndrewRooneyDrums You know it brother
@@jgroom01 If I could have one players skillsets... it'd be him
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Yeah me too
He now is the drummer for the Foo Fighters! 👍🏾
Sure is!
If you ever get a chance you should do some Vandals. The album "Live Fast" is insane.

NIN is always good for a soundgasm.
HELL YEAH!
Snare drum- He's using a trigger. They change it up on almost every song, and blend it with the acoustic snare. You can actually hear him catch a little more rim when he goes to the hat.
Watching Josh Freese play NIN songs makes me feel that way, too.
I read that he had days to prepare for this tour . NINS drummer missed a bit of shows to illness
YESSS he is a monster of a talent! First saw him with Dweezil Zappa back in the early 90's -check it out! Luv this channel, indeed!
Thanks for watching!
Seen him with nails 3 times twice with apc and if he he made one mistake I couldn't tell the man literally is a machine
Andrew, I really appreciate your insightful comments. Also, great pick!
I appreciate that!
He is my Favourite. Such a legend ❤️
He played with Danny Elfman at Coachella. Check it out if you want to see a kick ass simpsons theme… his drums take to another level. It’s on TH-cam
Josh has had a long and varied career, it's easy to understand why. As for snare tones I'd like to add Matt Cameron, Jimmy Chamberlain and Mike Bordin to the mix. Very identifiable.
Dont you dare forget Gavin Harisson!
100%
And yes on Gavin.
Love Jimmy Chamberlain!
Word.
I met Josh during the NIN era. Couldn't imagine a nicer dude. One of the absolute best working drummers today, no doubt about it.
That's great Warren. Also got a wicked sense of humor
Very nice! So consistent and smooth. And Josh's performance was quite nice as well 😉
Thanks Don.
I've been working out...
Both Alex Van Halen and Bill Bruford have instantly recognizable snare drum sounds
Agree
I remember taking lessons at a music store and they had a poster of him (this was like 20 or more years ago I think). I didn't know who he was until I started noticing him more and more. He seems like one of those drummers that isn't always noticed, but then you realize he's a drum God once you run into him. I heard he's nice as heck too!
I bet it was the big DW poster?
I had that in my teaching room! haha
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I think you are right!
He' so versatile. You need to listen to all the Vandals albums
Yes David! I know that period was important for Josh also.
Love this song
SO GOOD
You gotta check out what Ilan Rubin can do…he’s no joke either. He joined NIN back in 2009 after Josh Freese left.
YES Brandon! He's a monster
I've been a NIN fan from a looong time ago. and i remember when i saw this vid: th-cam.com/video/mWZzEZsx66A/w-d-xo.html .... i was blown away by the drums....went on to get his name.... that's he day i learned who josh freese is.

If you watch the Wish video you can see a trigger on the snare next to the microphone. They are likely mixing live with a well designed velocity sensitive sample. Doesn’t take away from his playing at all, we just know that Trent demands the highest quality live sound he can get.
Loved his playing with a perfect circle. Gravity was such a jam.
I need to check out that stuff Steven!
I think he is using 15” snare… according to some web site… another great video! Thx!!!
His clean style and hard hitting are vital to that industrial rock from NIN. Josh is really good. His lines sound like a machine
Watch him play with sting doing police songs. So so good
Yes I always forget about his stint with Sting
Mike Portnoy also had a holy snare tone! Also Ryan Van Poederooyan !
PORTNOY! That's the other one man!
When will you check out Austin Archey?
Drummer of Lorna Shore
I did and it got blocked William.
Available to the patrons
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Well shit. I have neither a credit card n'or a Paypal account.
I'll see if I can't make an account for me
Ok
check out freese in the vandals live at the house of blues with drum cam
Recording has to be through the board to get that sound quality
Could be Rick
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Triggers and Samples too
I don't know if you had done it. If you did I will have to look back but, watch the jay Weinberg and max Weinberg playing side by side video. It's really nice seeing both of their playing styles side by side playing the same music

“The snare tone is so consistent it sounds like a sample” it is a sample. There is an internal trigger in the snare drum triggering a sample.
