@@DRUMMERMIKE for sure- I wish Tim the best, and I’m sad he’s decided to leave, but I’m grateful for the opportunity and the positive vibes. I’m always stoked when people dig what I do, so I’m grateful for that as well! Cheers!
Dude...sadly I don't know your chances of winning because there are SO many people auditioning. But you are easily the best fit for Primus out of all of these auditions. Everything from the style you apply, to the way your set is tuned and set up, even the ghost notes that you apply. You are absolutely incredible. Keep up the great work. Hope to see you in the band.
Wow- thank you so much! What a lovely thing to say ☺️. I really appreciate that! I knew competition would be very fierce, but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, right? As it so happens, I do play in a band called Seas of Titan. We’re on all the majors if you’re curious to check us out. Cheers!
@jonmouskis-morrison3369jonmouskis-morrison3369 listening to starlit sky! the intro reminded me of some faith no more vibes! You guys have a ton of gorgeous influences in your music. Very radio friendly and I think your drumming and the bass guitarist adds a certain uniqueness and jazzy influence to it. You guys have a new fan out of me. Physica goes absolutely crazy too 🤘🏻
@@guru6393 thank you kindly! We love what we’re doing, and we appreciate when other people do too. We believe a thumping rhythm section makes for extra groovy music, and I appreciate the FNM comparison. We will have new music coming out very soon, with even more on the way (just finished tracking more drums 2 days ago). Make sure to follow our socials/ bandcamp to stay tuned. People like you are the reason we make music, so sincerely, thank you 😁.
@@LanningKann Aww, man, thanks so much! High praise, indeed 😊. I put DD in my application- some solid music that I’m proud of, and was fun to play. Thanks for the love brother, hope you’re well!
Thank you! My dream kit for sure, 100% handmade in Australia. Kit is Jarra wood, and the snares are Sassafras. The brand is Entity drums- they’re not being made at the moment… but, stay tuned. I see what you mean- that’s bound to happen. I actually initially didn’t make this public- it wasn’t about the views, I wanted the band to see it first. But, there’s been a lot of positivity, and I’m stoked about that 😊.
Since his followers usually suck I have a question. Those followers ended slavery all over the world. They also have the freest societies in the history of humans. They also have people fleeing other countries to their countries. What group of people would you prefer everyone to be like?
The instructions from the band said to also include other songs to showcase groove/pocket/feel/style/creativity etc. That second song is an original from his band.
The second song is my band, Seas of Titan. Since they asked us to showcase our creativity and personalities, and I felt an original track was a great way to do that, on top of my own interpretation of their stuff. 😊
None are going to except one. They're not looking for a clone. All these people are clueless. Any 12 year old with a week of playing can play this. They're looking for a stand alone person who's a leader , not a follower. This song is nind numbing easy to play.
@jonmouskis-morrison3369 i apologize. I was in a road rage, drive home in terrible traffic mood. The chill me says, that they are looking for someone who is going to move the band forward. All the video I've seen is them asking to play them a funky beat. There are a bunch of talented ones auditioning, yourself included, but only one I've seen so far played something thier personal style show casing who they are. Copying a song is something every drummer does since day one, and anyone who's taken the time to learn how to keep a steady, tight beat can copy a Primus song. Exvept one that sticks out. This guy has a 25k DW kit, talks to the camera and I thought it maybe a good audition, and then he played so awful, it was embarrassing. The worst part about it, the poor guy thought he was great. It was so bad lol. Anyway good lilyck to all! Keep it up.
@@MikeS-kw2hr Hey man, all good 👍- I’m no stranger to terrible traffic moods myself, it gets pretty bad here in Melbourne, so I get it. Indeed, there will be lots of copycats, that’s why I figured it was a good idea to showcase some originality. Even on the Primus tracks- I’m gonna stay true to the song, but add my own flavour to it. There are a lot of talented people applying, and I’m happy to be part of the process. As far as that other dude goes, I mean hey, as long as he’s happy, right? I wish him the best. You too mate- cheers!
While this certainly isn't Primus' most difficult song on drums, to characterize it as "mind numbingly easy" is stupid. To play it well, like this guy did, takes skill.
@celoceanicon what's so difficult? Keeping time,triplets and quads on the feet? This song is absolutely not difficult. I'm not knocking it, I worshipped Primus in my early life, but did you see the front runner of their picks? He didn't play a primus song. He showcased his personality and a split second showing he knows how to hit the drums. If you would like something that is challenging, maybe try playing Attitude from AAF. Saying Jerry is difficult is a bit much. It really doesn't get much easier. But who cares, just my worthless opinion. You think they want someone to just copy everything? Come to the studio , making a new album, the label on their ass about release dates tours, is it going to be a hit, who are they taking on tour to support etc, etc, and then He's says to this guy, hey man I got this new freak funk daddy and it's in 3 different times , so give me a sick beat and this is what depth you got in a new drummer? Yeah right. It's reality. He's one of the best bass players in the world and to think 99% of these followers have a shot, you're just dreaming. All these guys are good. I respect them having the balls to put themselves out there. But again, world class? Not even close. Imagine some of them in an arena opening for Metallica! Lol. Hilarious.
This is definitely up there with the better covers of this that I’ve heard!! Godspeed, sir!!! 🇬🇷 🔥

I’ve toured with Jon, easily the most chill and pro drummer I’ve played with. Primus would be in good hands with you dude.
@@LanningKann Aww, man, thanks so much! High praise, indeed 😊. I put DD in my application- some solid music that I’m proud of, and was fun to play. Thanks for the love brother, hope you’re well!
🤩 would love to see you as Primus' drummer!
#primusdrumaudition
Thanks, me too 😊
great n clean performance, georgeous drum set
Thank you so much! I love my drums. Took a long time, but finally got my dream kit 🥰
Bray Wyatt playing Primus
Ha ha, thanks man- haven’t heard that one before 😅
@@jonnybeats.604 😂 no problem.. by the way, you're playing is spot on
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
understood the assignment! 100% Unusual, beautiful kit. Brand?
So many of these are not even playing a Primus song, or style. Like click bait.
Thank you! My dream kit for sure, 100% handmade in Australia. Kit is Jarra wood, and the snares are Sassafras. The brand is Entity drums- they’re not being made at the moment… but, stay tuned.

Good shit!
Thanks!
Tommy the cat-nailed it!
Thanks!
Primus doesn't want to see you play Primus, They want to see creativity
@@GreggR2020 Which is why I included one of my band’s tracks as well- 2nd song in the video. Cheers.
Awesome Jon -definitely a ginseng drummer!
Thanks so much! 😊
Nice!!! Are you familiar with Jesus?
Yeah, what he said was kinda cool but his followers usually suck
@@joshuaboehner4652fair enough
Right. Everybody sucks. Just in different ways.
Thanks!
I have been told there’s a resemblance 😅
Since his followers usually suck I have a question. Those followers ended slavery all over the world. They also have the freest societies in the history of humans. They also have people fleeing other countries to their countries. What group of people would you prefer everyone to be like?
Whats the second song and how does it relate to Primus? You did good, but thats just a little confusing
The instructions from the band said to also include other songs to showcase groove/pocket/feel/style/creativity etc.
That second song is an original from his band.
@@SamuraiFingers Dude clearly didn't understand the assignment 😅
@SamuraiFingers ohhh ok, I didn't know that, I just assumed people were supposed to just play Primus songs. Thanks for the clarification!
@@LucyGribble yeah, it seems like don't just want a cover artist, they want someone who can bring their own style
The second song is my band, Seas of Titan. Since they asked us to showcase our creativity and personalities, and I felt an original track was a great way to do that, on top of my own interpretation of their stuff. 😊
None are going to except one. They're not looking for a clone. All these people are clueless. Any 12 year old with a week of playing can play this. They're looking for a stand alone person who's a leader , not a follower. This song is nind numbing easy to play.
Thanks for the feedback.
There’s more past the first track- threw one of my band’s songs in there that has some interesting moments.
Cheers.
