Lars Drum Cam, Call of Ktulu, Dallas / Arlington 2023.  

True that!

Yes, that's right the camera is so close that it's picking up the actual drum sounds not the audio from the PA

@@galaxymodern yea it would’ve been cool to be this close

sounds like he is racing against the rest of the band instead of driving the band, weird to listen to...

It's the natural acoustics of the environment. You can really tell at 3:55. If the camera was at the guitar source instead, Lars would sound late.

@@xhead75 but HE SOUNDS LATE here !!!

Yep. AT & T stadium is a Huge venue. Definitely takes some time for the sound to travel. But it's so amazing to be close enough to hear the actual drum sound before it was pushed through the mix.

Thanks! truly incredible! - my ears are still ringing!

He doesn’t like the “dinging” sound of it.

Not really... you are hearing the delay in the PA system as it compares to actually hearing the sticks connect with the drum heads.

The stage is big...

Great question @Jayteaseepiirturi ! The sound engineering was perfection at this 100,000 seat stadium in Dallas, Texas. The delay / echo you hear is because my phone's mic was so close to the drums that you are actually hearing the sticks make contact with the drum heads and cymbals BEFORE the sound is pushed through the PA system. Everyone else in the stadium is hearing the sound mixed and amplified through the speakers. As a drummer I can also add that, this is what a drummer hears from behind the kit. The music sounds completely different when you are behind all the amps that are pushing the sound away from you.

That is what we call Boomerific talk

They'll never understand the joy of watching a concert with their own eyes

@KyleJPie10 Bullshit. Actual bullshit. I went to a Devo concert, filmed the whole thing and remember it very clear to this day. Quit being an old fart. I bet old folks did the same with tape recorders and big ass video cameras.

Hey! I was fortunate enough to attended both nights (Friday and Sunday). It was literally one of the best experiences of my life! - even though I've seen them 11 or 12 times over the years, there was nothing like being 6 feet away from them in the middle of the stage! I had to capture it so that I can relive it forever! I only recorded 3 songs out of the 40+ that they played. Super glad I did, now I can share it with others that don't get the chance to see it from the POV that I had. Cheers!

Yeah! Being there was like being a kid again for sure.... one of the most fun and exciting experiences of my life!

Opinion from someone who's never got close to a drumstick before:

keep in mind that lars is also the business brain of Metallica. Metallica would also not sound like Metalica if it wasn't for his simple hard-hitting drumming. Its one of the things that separated Metallica from every generic ass thrash band in the 80s

EXACTLY@@gunnarcole6995

I think it's fair to say that his drumming style doesn't appeal to everyone. But even if you don't like his artistic expression, he is clearly a world class drummer. I was close enough to see the concentration and focus in his eyes. I've never witnessed anything like it before... it was almost scary to see how locked in he was. And while it may sound like he's not keeping time, that is only the lag of the camera recording coupled with the fact that the camera is close enough to pick up the sound of the sticks making contact with the drum head which happens a second before the sound travels through the speakers. In real life it was spot on, and powerful.

@@galaxymodern no...he sucks...he really does

Harsh man...harsh...

Disagree. They played with precision and passion that can only be acquired with experience. I've seen them 8 times since 1986. And no doubt they were in their absolute prime in the early 90s, as everyone is in their late 20s / early 30s. But, damn, they are still awesome, especially Lars who has the most physically and mentally challenging role of all of them when on stage.

Lars est au top depuis toujours. Il n'a pas besoin de progresser.

hmmmmmmm, I am an average drummer. I must be just like Lars ;) !!!

Lars never said he was/is a great drummer. All Metallica members says they are average.

Average, but there's a lot great drummer not lucky as lars, he's rich, famous and big busnisman behind most succesful band in history

But a Brilliant Musician/Force in Music. (DBZ reference).
