Hi! This was fun yet difficult to get right. Lots of seemingly random details.

This song is awesome, one of my Primus favorites
It's all about weirdness, uneasiness and a bit of despair, like... You're talking to this dude, Mud, and he's telling you some crazy shit he's done, and you can't do anything but stay silent and agree.
All the silent gaps in the song contribute for this feeling of being trapped with some possible, unpredictable threat, and that something really bad can happen at any moment.
The hi-hat on the 4th, before the gap between verses, sounds almost like a good, ironic joke. It's awkward, like it wasn't supposed to be there, but you cannot avoid it.
Great cover, Josh! You're great! Thanks for sharing!

Who would think the snare/high hat part is easy, that kind of timing defines good drumming. Anyone can learn speed...precision/timing is much harder. Great job, I'm definitely a fan of your playing....

[apebeats]

People are so impressed by speed and quantity of notes, but playing something with a ton of open room between strikes and making it sound good is infinitely more difficult than blazing through a song. Fantastic job man.

Sweet shirt man, and you even placed the dyno beat bottom cymbal on top like

[Dahn.Baern.]

I love the little notes you wrote before all the variations during the verses haha. Best Primus drum video ever

[musicmex]

"This is harder than you think" couldn't agree with you more. Great job Josh!

[Bruddahwill]

Tim Alexander's drumming style is hard to replicate, Will Forte did it PERFECTLY.

[smirnoff]

That hit on the splash is so important and you nailed it. no lie

[gavinorazapata]

Dude I can tell how aware you are of how receptive Tim is of his band mates’s input. Tim doesn’t play, he communicates. Well done man. Way to respect the art.

[TheKurtTribute]

The triplet at 3:01 always gets me, super smooth

[sepey]

So.Freaking.Clean. You rock dude, thank you for playing!

[Tognar]

Oh the hours I spent as a 14yo drummer in the 90s practicing that ending floor tom part and could never get it that funky.

[jaysonwilson]

So simple but not simple with splash placement and accents. Just so fun to play. Crushed it

[bsb]

Honestly, Lars was the reason I started playing drums ("And Justice for All" album). But Tim Alexander and Danny Carey are the reasons I want to keep going. Great cover!

[scsidrum]

Used to love air drumming along to Tim with chopsticks and very loud cans when I first started playing. He does make it sound so easy and this is a beautifully controlled and accurate rendition. Well done Sir. 👍🏼

[ThatswhatsupTWU]

This is THE MOST AMAZING DRUM CAM!!! Dude that camera look makes it feel like im on stage watching my best friend play his bands set and I LOVE IT!!

[jackapples]

The double bass, tom, and snare part at the end is definitely my favorite drum part ever

[zjeo]

Josh has become my new hobby. I watch his videos during the morning and then before I retire at night.I think he's the best cover drummer on YouTube! Bravo Josh! 👏

[MrGilbertlorona]

hopefully primus seen this video as another audition tape...lol

[sepey]

You rock dude! And now that I know that you learned this by ear listening to it again and again makes this cover even better! Your drumming is on point, thank you! Keep rocking it you got a real talent if you made this by yourself.
