Issues - King of Amarillo | Josh Manuel Drum Cover 

Like, he's so good he could be like, the actual drummer

It's crazy you went from covering this, to being the full time drummer. Lol keep it up Dugg

If this isn't the most inspiring story then I dunno what is, this dude started out practicing, and jamming to issues songs then he found himself as the actual drummer. That is so awesome!!

I had seen this years ago and just now realized that the kid doing the amazing covers of issues is the dude who replaced their drummer when he left... mind fucking blown. Fucking amazing

Who knew that after covering this he'd be their actual drummer

little did he know that this was going to get him into Issues

What the fuck! I went through my old youtube favorites for nostalgia and found this, and I remember it because of how awesome the snare is... when Josh joined Issues, I had no idea it was this same guy! 😂😂😂

Good to see you hooked up with this great band Issues Josh. I decided to do an Issues cover of the new Stingray Affliction I am so pumped for the release tomorrow!

Literally one of the best covers I've seen

Hey Josh, I know you are busy as hell with touring and playing for Issues full time but when you have the time I'd love to see some more new covers, or better, some playthroughts of the new Issues album songs!! Well, anyway, keep doing an amazing work as always!

2:27-2:32 jesus man take it easy! Makes me question my existence 😂 Great drumming Josh!

that snare is a beast!

Wait wtf. I'm so fucking blown right now. I didn't know Josh was just covering songs and now HE'S ACTUALLY IN ISSUES. That's so amazing

love how on top of all your covers being well played, they're also mixed amazingly! and oh dayum, dat snare

one of my favorite drummers. beast

Love that badass banjo.

Yes, Josh! Yes! Finally: Issues!

lol, this was before you actually joined the band, right?

6 years later and no one would've thought Josh would be in the band

Beautiful kit!!!

Everytime I hear your covers the sound gets better and better! You are awesome and everytime I see a cover come up as new uploaded I get excited! Thank you for sharing your talent.

this guy is my biggest inspiration as far as style and rhythm. and that's saying A LOT coming from me.

So amazing!

That is probably one of the best sounding SJC kits i have ever heard, seriously man, great drumming i really enjoyed it.

Still coming back just for that break down. So satisfying

gave me the chills, amazing

Josh, you gave me a lesson in Portland a few weeks back, I just wanted to say thank you and show some love on your old videos. This is totally a come-up story for the books and I am so glad to see it’s still up. Been keeping on those exercises you laid out for us, and I hope to catch another lesson from you again. You guys killed it, hope you’re having fun on the rest of the tour as you get closer to home as well!

That was a fantastic cover. Those little snare fills fit in really well too. I really enjoyed watching this!

Amazing song. Amazing cover.

Cheers Josh! Great work as always!

Love that youve added the filter china to your kit. Everything sounds incredible.

I've waited for this for so long!!!!!

I can only hope to one day have a story as inspiring as yours, Josh. Keep it up bro!

Your drum covers > The song by itself.

Such amazing control! Your awesome:D

so sick! nice job josh!

Lovin the groove you got going on. haha Never fail to amaze me duder!

Your snare sounds absolutely mindblowing man

find a new fav drummer 😆 u did a great job Josh!

dude, loved the improve during the rap/hip hop kinda part that has program drums and vocals, pretty sick.

Crazy, months ago i never thought he would actually join this band....wow. Congrats Josh.

Good job, always mad good

WHY YOU NO HAVE MORE VIEWZ Seriously I love every cover...

oh Josh, amazing as always! :D

Can't get enough of this video. Made my own cover that I just posted (: Thanks for being a huge inspiration, Josh.

i love your videos man!!

I'm so fucking stoked u covered this dude!

those ghost notes sound incredible! great cover!

Big congrats for joining Issues man!

Great job, mate. This looked like a really fun cover to play. It sure was to watch. And nice solo part. That was super rad. I'm so stoked you're in Issues meow. I'll have to come out next time you're in Colorado. Keep killing it. God bless.

wow great jam man good job!

Josh, so sick man, these keep getting better and better. I tuned my snare just like the start of the underoath cover where there is no mic and it sounds awesome but i still cant mix it to sound near this good, if you do a tutorial on mixing the snare i'll love you forever.

Can't wait to see you in Issues!

Amazing Drumming!

love it.

Freshest drum kit, dude!

I can't get over how crazy your snare sounds.

Sick ass cover man! Great job

This dude is amazing!!!

You killed it!

i dig all the extra stuff peppered in with the song!

good addition to the band, love his drum set! unf

No wonder that snare sounds so great, it's an SJC Custom Snare! I have one myself, it sounds amazing! I use it on my channel with my drum covers. SJC doesn't fail to impress!

Yes please!

he looks like Bert Poncet of CNCC! lol!

Dude i saw you live and your drums sounded loud and amazing!!! Sucks i didnt get to meet you! But still, amazing!! I get to see you again with BMTH!!!

I'm not even into Rock and metal style stuff but this is freakin cool!!!!!!! I subbed! Keep up the good work man!

Damn duddeee . This is really good !

i fucking love all your covers...

Instant subscribe due to video and audio quality! :)

That becomes an argument of self taught or being taught professionally. Masamune and Make Total destroy were spot on along with his Cafo cover.

yaay good quality drum cover ! :)

Congratulations! Welcome to Issues

Hah your little fill for the r&b part was sick man. I love it when people who cover songs add things that are really good rather than just playing the song exactly like the song. It's nice to deviate from the song a bit.

Amazing dude keep it up

great snare drum sound!!!!!!

nice! not only are you accurate you're also really smooth in your transitions. good job man! also. i recommend some KSM32's on the toms instead of the SM57's but your snare and everything sounds great!

it's funny how he is covering it but now he plays it live

the fill from 2:30- 2:32 going into the breakdown is magical. holy balls

Dope! I'm bias as hell, but loved this cover! Diggin it bro keep it up!

Badass banjo!

Really nice cover bro!

wow great improvisation man.

I'd definitely be into that! I need to find out some different types of engineering and recording in general. Great job man! :)

Dang man... That snare sound!

Only just realised you were the new drummer, nice one dude!

Can't wait to see Josh play this live on Warped!

That is sick af, this inspires me! Lol

*Awesome! Good job man :)

My favorite song drom Issues

Really good quality

dude you should seriously do a video on how you record everything..it would be so awesome..if its like an hour long i would watch it over and over to get what you get.

Josh i begining to think your drum set is indestructible xD with how much you've played it and yet it doesnt even look like it

This cover is so sick! you should have been in Issues from the start your fills have so much more feel too them than Case's!

Dreams come true

do a tutorial on how you tune your snare! LOVE THE SOUND!!

sick cover dude

hey bro I think your an amazing drummer definitely one of the best in my book I was just wondering what size was that meinl China you have there??

Haha, hell ya. I haven't seen one of these in a while. Good luck on tour, bro!

fuckin A! amazing sound and video quality josh allways putin up a great video dude!!! love the new set up with the guitars layin in the back nice feel! if only one day we can collab.....one day. lol awesome job bro !
