I want to start playing drums for your videos, thanks. I fucking love you man.

"I'm not good at this talking shit I tell ya" You're fucking mad at drums though so all is forgiven Josh.

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

I almost didn't upload this. why? my curly q hair! when I left for work and saw myself in the mirror and said Fuck. I'm all for looking silly when I do it on purpose. ironically, 70% of the comments aren't about my hair like most videos. lol

@Sir_Catnip 7 лет назад

Josh Steffen nah it's actually a good look for u... I wear a lot of beanies so maybe I'm biased but it looks good on ya lol 👍

@GRIM029 7 лет назад

just go bald. also make more videos like this!

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

mainantagonist Look up the cover of mongo seven. pigtails!

@CrowClouds 7 лет назад

Brah your hair looks boss

@GPrime008 7 лет назад

Josh Steffen should do a video with crazy ass hair, good job on the videos bud!

@TronciM 7 лет назад

Timing is so natural to me, I've never used a metronome and I never count in my head. I can come up with random transitions between two different song sections automatically on the spot. I know it's common but it's a fascinating feeling.

@alomtz4359 7 лет назад

yeah i knoe what you mean

@donaldtrump4206 7 лет назад

Tronci ...

@TronciM 7 лет назад

Yes I did mention that it is common but it feels amazing

@TronciM 7 лет назад

so why ...

@metalmilitia5305 7 лет назад

Tronci Yeah I'm the same way

@prantorahmed1868 7 лет назад

"shit I'm doing..." the shit you are referring is gold us sir...your playing is gold.❤

@Beranin 7 лет назад

I wish Josh was my weekly drum teacher. So casual yet so full of useful info

@StarDogg27 2 года назад

As someone who is starting to drum at 32 you are wildly inspiring. I’m going to keep this train rolling

@joshsteffen 2 года назад

Glad to hear that!

@miafan3763 7 лет назад

I've been really good at timing naturally even back when i was really little. i guess i picked up some ways to keep rhythm from listening to a lot of music and a lot of different kinds of music.

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+MIA fan 3 I was too. I used to mouth beats before my drumming days began. I still used these tricks then, haha

@theRevVA32 7 лет назад

This is has to be the best half stoned rant about the responsibilities and spirit of a Drummer lmao.

@hugoperry1452 7 лет назад

Nikko McBrain!!! Left foot pedal hat all the time!!! And everything he does is timed off his left foot. Just as an example! Good video!! Cheers!

@WaceMindu239 7 лет назад

That habit of muting the crash over and over again made me laugh a little 4:38

@martah93 7 лет назад

Look at 3:00 when he muted the tiny-ass cymbal he had hit ages before LOL

@markjosephjose9912 7 лет назад

MTaher i laugh so hard daym

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

PunjenePaprike23 definitely guilty of that, but I have the overhead normalized and compressed separately for the voice, any noise is really loud. just hitting my snare makes the cymbals ring!

@Mike-oz5pp 2 года назад

Exactly Josh thank you. The click isn't necessarily for the drummer but for everyone else involved in the recording/performing session, esp the producer/engineer

@joshsteffen 2 года назад

I don't like the idea of a drummer asking permission from a machine if it's ok to hit now. Metal needs another renaissance. The musical world would be a better place if the metronome went away. With its absence goes quantizing everything and relying on the grid.

@ironhammer8935 7 лет назад

I've always wondered why Lars moves his leg even when he's not playing the bass drum, finally i know the answer.

@AlitaRios 7 лет назад

That's a cute beanie hairstyle, sir :)

@victoramicci840 2 года назад

Holy shit man. you said exactly what i needed to hear! I too grind my teeth like an metronome haha I'm an awful beginner drummer, trying desperately to climb my way to the top, and sometimes it's very very hard... You helped me a lot, thank you very much!

@joshsteffen 2 года назад

Great!

@xristoforosstefatos7249 7 лет назад

First time I see Josh with shoes :3

@sjwilli1972 6 лет назад

Teeth Grinding, OMG, thought that was just me, This is why your lessons really matter because you share the shit we never get told by any one else. I thought I was odd...

@tenjiechin 6 лет назад

Wow dude I've taken drum lessons in the past but this tops all six years of it in one vid

@joshsteffen 6 лет назад

Glad to hear ;)

@crusadercrunch9171 7 лет назад

I do weird body movements as the "middle" thing. But fucking hell your ghost note thing is genius!

@justinsmall4306 7 лет назад

kit sounds awesome.

@idontevenashbro3528 7 лет назад

@DillyDilly13 7 лет назад

Lars counts a HELL of a lot with his foot. Drives me nuts when people don't realize what he's doing.

@Jedithedrummer 7 лет назад

Thanks boss

@332nd_collectibles 7 лет назад

It's about time this came out!!

@emperoring112 7 лет назад

This is one of the videos that I've been really anticipating! I've been working on getting my ghost notes down, and usually whenever I'm not on the high hat I always have my foot keeping time on the.high hat unless theres double bass parts

@joetroutt7425 Месяц назад

Theres a trend nowadays with heavy bands where they take one riff in one bpm and another riff in another bpm and marry them together. It's like what you were saying. You get your head bobbing and then boom another whole different tempo change, not to mention groove change. I like to be able to bob my head to the rhythm even if the groove changes but the tempo stays the same.

@emmans753 7 лет назад

Deep drum wisdom there bro, which could be applies in all form of true art...full respect to you!!!

@bengeisser 7 лет назад

Great job guy. Can't wait for that MSI cover

@thugsheer4135 Год назад

Made a lot of sense appreciate it a lot man

@Sampoltava 7 лет назад

I am not a drummer, but I had learned some aspects of timing after I watched this video! Thanks man, and please, keep on doing this kind of tutorials! By the way, some of your explanation are really convinient!

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

@deliverance3931 7 лет назад

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who adds in unnecessary ghost notes. It's so much more fun

@percussionjamz6704 7 лет назад

Conrad Fassington damn right and makes it much more groovier

@poopyjoe7883 7 лет назад

@donaldtrump4206 7 лет назад

@alexkaplan6581 7 лет назад

headbanging the rythrm works pretty well for me.

@strathern30 7 лет назад

Awesome brah

@davidaveliz6572 7 лет назад

YO JOSH! I loved the thing you said about grinding your teeth when you're away from the kit and just thinkin of beats cuz I do the exact same! It's amazing, I never knew any other drummer did that lol much less one with such serious talent as you man. 🤘

@DylanGalvanDrumCovers 7 лет назад

I thought I was the only one who did the teeth grinding thing...

@GamerFreak4876 7 лет назад

I do it too

@colterthefresh9253 7 лет назад

Same

@dagonzalez1757 7 лет назад

@mr666pepe666 7 лет назад

Finally! Thanks man, great video. Grinding teeth is probably very common among us :D

@freewawmods 7 лет назад

Just wondering... does anyone play the beat of the drums with your leg? Like go up and down when the bass and snare gets hit? I have a bad case of shaking my legs to the beat lol..My friends tell me to quit it but I can't stop...

@djabthrash 7 лет назад

Great video, and hilarious Biohazard reference :)

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+djabthrash ;)

@NicksGamingVid3os 7 лет назад

Been following you for about a year and a half you have helped me out so much man, it would be really cool if you could do some Tragically Hip drum covers, if you don't know who they are they are a Canadian rock band, thanks a lot man for all the help keep up the good work!!!!!

@wjld 6 лет назад

I get it now! Sorry if I sounded rude, I'm kind of a layperson when it comes to drums, but it's my favorite instrument anyway! Loved your cover, and that ghost notes fitted perfectly. I just didn't understand how you did the movement with your hand. (Now I know it's called a light double stroke.) :) Anyway, thanks for taking the time to explain. Keep on being amazing!

@joshsteffen 6 лет назад

I didn't get rude from that. ;)

@SnappiestGnome 7 лет назад

Can you do "Lars and Thunder" please? Lars style on Mastodon would be hilarious!

@Abgard4094 7 лет назад

Do the toxic waltz cover!!

@metahunter1173 7 лет назад

Drum bass at the right snd snare at left

@ethantechmeier-stewart2744 7 лет назад

good job with the videos

@skiddysgarage 7 лет назад

Even though I'm not a drummer, I unintentionally grind my teeth to beats like you said. At this point it's kind of a habit that I need to stop

@NathanJL6 7 лет назад

Please do a video on how spit out the bone will be played live. Either going with a fresh mindset or off of the tuning room footage.

@13Drumsticks 7 лет назад

I love you. Just needed to say that

@crazyjoedavola5430 4 года назад

Haha...Biohazard. When I first started playing, I wondered why my mouth hurt. I grind my teeth too

@zackherron7628 7 лет назад

I look up to you and the person I get lessons from for drumming

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+Zack Herron Thanks man ;)

@johngavin1448 7 лет назад

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+John Burnett Thanks! Still chipping away at mixing.

@citizenerased174 7 лет назад

Man i wish I had a drumset again. Im mainly a guitarist so I sold my old set becuase i didnt have room. I still regret it till this day.

@TheSuitgetslive 7 лет назад

holy shit, the teeth grinding thing.. i thought for sure i was the only drummer who did that.

@Sir_Catnip 7 лет назад

dude u sound a lot like my friend that lives in Wisconsin lol u guys have the same accent KILLER VID as always good sir!

@gevoman3959 2 года назад

Oh my god I’m not the only percussionist tooth grinder.

@codytylerclyde7772 3 года назад

Dude your so awesome 😅

@sabbathfan65 7 лет назад

First off, you have The Best drum channel on RU-vid. I am curious as to what settings on the drum dial do you tune your snare and toms with? Also which instrument did you learn first, guitar or drums? and are you self taught? Thanks again for the awesome videos.

@frankarinq 7 лет назад

i hope joshy josh does a collab with someone

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+Karin Rodriguez I have a collabs playlist. The most recent was with CrebleStar- If SLAYER Wrote Spit Out the Bone. Also a handful with Lambchopper, a bunch with Achokarlos back in the day, and others. Looks like you got some digging to do, Kariny Karin ;)

@jamesgoad4948 7 лет назад

I'm not sure what you mean by grinding teeth, but I do something like that I guess.While my teeth are closed i kind of smack the tip of my tongue against the teeth. I clam down the front of my teeth for a snare sound. I randomly get good ideas for beats with it. Only drawback is it becomes a habit. I sometimes do it without thinking haha.

@unitedivide2789 3 года назад

I do the same with my teeth. I will hum even sometimes if I can't quite work it out with teeth alone.And bounce from left to right on k 9s.Like kick on left right snare.lol I thought I was crazy

@emo87653 7 лет назад

Dude you should do a cover of Volumes- Wormhole I'm sure you'll have a fun time trying to learn it

@thodoris3790 6 лет назад

I thought i was the only who play drums with his teeth...hahaha...keep rocking man

@kubakot3977 7 лет назад

True

@karasakizbaris 7 лет назад

damn i do that grinding teeth thing too, such a weird thing.

@kennethmurphy137 6 лет назад

I grind my teeth and have since I was young. All to hash out beats. I thought I was the only one.

@shushantadhungana8098 7 лет назад

good one..😀😀😀😆😆

@ivyhallquist3159 3 года назад

I grind my teeth side to side rhythmically, too! I thought I was the only person on the planet who did that!

@Berbs73 6 лет назад

I bounce in my seat a little. That's less complicated than stomping my left foot and it feels better.

@marcosaruca5283 7 лет назад

lord farquaad is back

@murderp4553 6 лет назад

i totally do that count thing with my left foot. not sure about grinding my teeth thats a new one

@Drummersarecool 7 лет назад

@shanksmcnasty6650 5 лет назад

Dude I thought I was the only one who grids my teeth to different bests and rhythms

@joshsteffen 5 лет назад

I'm with ya, and many others have said the same thing. It's one of those unspoken things..

@janbundgaardrefer3664 7 лет назад

Goddamn. I allmost dont have any teeeth left from grinding em ;) Been drumming for 27 years, and i still suck lol. Really enjoy your videos, since im also selftaugth. Got allmost the same preferences in music . I sometimes, find myself grinding a teethrythm whilst having a very serious conversation...... Music for life. ;))

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+Jan Bundgaard Refer I do it all day. I also play my fingers on my thumb. I look like a lobster

@janbundgaardrefer3664 7 лет назад

😀👍Yes, its a funny thing. Its in the blood lol. Btw. Gojira really grew on me, the last couple of years. "super"Mario has become one of my fav drummers. Very groovy yet progressive. U are the Best allround drummer i have ever seen. Keep up the good work. 👍🎶🎶🎶🎶

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+Jan Bundgaard Refer thanks! Mario is better though.

@mammothaudioengineering 7 лет назад

While a lot of tips are super helpful and absolutely on Point, (and I'm not even a drummer), I have to disagree hard on the click track point. I have not met a single drummer yet that played worse when he had a click track going. In fact, very few drummers nowadays play without a click track in the studio. Most of my favourite musicians are drummers and all of those guys use clicks in the studio. If the drumming is boring, it's not the click tracks fault, it's the drummer's. Sure, organic feeling and what not is important, but here's what those "asshole engineers" do, and it's not a click track problem: They move everything (every hit on the drums, guitars, bass, even vocals) to fit into the grid and that's what kills that organic feeling, missing from a lot of modern productions. Cheers man, love your vids!

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+Mahmoud Kattan click tracks are great for staying on time. I'm offering advice for timing without them. I guess I could say use a click track but, ehh.

@Staminist-MMF-80 7 лет назад

What about Poltergeist notes? O.o Wise words my friend! I play bass most of the time and I am kinda in between two fires - I have to keep timing (have my recipes of my own like you) but I have to keep the lame guitarist happy too, with a "I'll find a hair in an egg" attitude. Keep on rocking! Greets from Serbia suburbia! \m/

@ryanford5387 3 года назад

Damn I always thought I was the only one who did the teeth thing 😂

@pimtebrake4418 7 лет назад

Nice! Dust bolt - toxic attack drum cover??

@Carascoroscovaldo 7 лет назад

Josh, do you like Mastodon? What do you think of doing the cover of the masterpiece "Quintessence"?

@Beco96 7 лет назад

1:25 And I thought I'm the only drummer in the world that grinds his teeth :D \m/ Very, very useful

@666TheMonk 7 лет назад

Love the channel.Could you please tell me how you get the tight compressed sound on your drums?Thanks

@joshsteffen 7 лет назад

+666TheMonk perhaps a video someday. I'm sure I do stuff wrong though. I approach audio the same way as drums and guitar - willfully ignoring lessons.

@x-comdoom831 7 лет назад

cool

@cokedout_2909 7 лет назад

i breathe the quater notes in a beat 😂😂

@matt0331 7 лет назад

Hey Josh, could you please do a cover of "circle of the tyrants" by: Celtic Frost? thanks, mate! love your channel!

@sics6393 7 лет назад

I wanna see you do a drum-off with Jared Dines, That'd be dope in my opinion.

@metahunter1173 7 лет назад

I do that thing with the teeth too!

@darcymerrick9627 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I agree 100% you suck at the talking shit but I can relate to everything you say man I’m the same way with everything that you brought up in this video you know dude I’d love to just spend a day with you hanging out shooting the shit smoking a few learning as much as I could from you you never stop learning no matter what instrument you play I’ve been playing since I’m five years old I’m 58 years old now and still learning stuff every day because musics always progressing good fucking stuff Josh keep it up I’m a huge fan huge follower Good shit Josh! Oh yeh that 5 blocks to the subway reference😂😂
