Lars Ulrich - Metallica - Tour Kit Rundown

In 2023, Modern Drummer headed to St Louis, MO to meet up with Metallica's Lars Ulrich for a rundown of his multiple Tama drum kits. Hosted by David Frangioni, Lars led us around the Massive Metallica stage, to get his behind-the-scenes perspective. David also sat down with Lars for an episode of the Modern Drummer Podcast, which will air right here on our YouTube channel.

Very cool of Lars to actually do this and not his tech. Also, it’s great to see all of the love in the comments. The majority of us wouldn’t be drummers without him. Truly one of the best ambassadors for rock and metal.

Notice the drummers in the comments. Also notice the solidarity!

[harrisonmackenzie]

This is huge. Definitely didn’t expect it to actually be Lars talking about his gear. Love it

[danieldegeorges]

Think about how many great drummers are drummers today because of this man. Legend!!!

[likestoospooge]

There hasn't been a single day in over 35 years that a Lars drum beat hasn't been in my head.

[etherealnation]

Its a rare interview!! I'm 48 & have been a fan since 14. You seldom or never ever see Lars talks about his kit. Thank you David for making this happen.

Some of the most memorable drum parts & songs ever written by this man. Love to see it!

It's so cool that Lars turned up by himself with no roadie and speaks in great detail about his kit. It shows he knows about drums and doesn't depend on someone else to speak about
his drum equipment like Chad Smith did. Thanks, Modern Drummer for another great Tour Kit Rundown video.

This is so sick. I’ve waited years for Lars himself to take us on a tour of his kit. Very cool.

[daynmitchell]

If Lars can do his own Gear Rundown, there’s no excuse for anyone else.

The Drum God - Not for the Virtuosity but for the Cultural Impact and memories.

No drummer in the last 40 years has been more influential and inspired youngsters to pick up the drumsticks than him.

Cant say enough how glad I am Modern Drummer started video rundowns, these were always my favorite parts of the magazines. I loved seeing and learning everybodys setups, what they played, why they played them. It was, still is, so fascinating to me

[lucasrodriguez]

best drummer in the world for me. is he the best drummer in the world? no, but he made me want to play drums as a kid. i am a drummer because of you lars!

[camsung]

Reading the comments brings me immense pride. Everyone's coming together to celebrate the legend that got us into drumming all those years ago.

[therandomrollercoasterride]

Don’t care what people say, Lars is my favourite drummer of all time

[alanmccartney]

So good guys!! Its rare we get to see or hear Lars show or speak about his kits. This is fantastic. Thanks Modern Drummer and Thanks Lars!!! You Rule!!!

[salvaro.]

We, the whole Heavy Metal comunity owe Lars much. You and that little project of band you had changed the world.

I saw Lars on the MTV video music awards on 1991. I was 13. I have never stopped drumming since. This man shaped who I am.

[GatoPaint]

lars got me into drumming 🎉❤ so I’m so grateful for these type of videos 🎉

That’s so cool that he took the time to do the drum tour! Without Lars there would be no Metallica, that’s all I’m saying. And this tour is HUGE! What a production!
