Hey bro, not trying to tell ya what to do, but you've sent this in yourself, and written a little something to them right? Guessing you have, but if not, please do. Just write a little sincere cover letter just telling them a bit about yourself besides being a dope drummer etc. All the best!
god i hope you get this gig josh, i used to come to your channel for covers and drum lessons when i was like 13, and now i’m 22 watching you audition for primus, you’re my endorsement for sure. 🙏🙏
Alright, nevermind. This dude is my top pick. He's got the look, the skills, the sound, stage presence, the gear, and around seems pro as hell. Hopefully his attitude is there and home life isn't a mess.
Bro, I don’t speak English well, but I believe in you!!! For Primus you are perfect choice!!! I start watching you 6 years ago, and you help me to understand how to play a lot of songs!!! Hello from Ukraine!!!
That was bloody excellent! And I imagine a lot of work went into preparing a click track ... and then play with that great feel. I thoroughly enjoyed it 👏
One of the best I've seen so far. And you did it to live tracks, as well as offered a taste of a bunch! Bravo! It looks effortless, whereas others I've seen look to have to keep up
dude if i was primus i would be givin you a call id be like hes first but lets see what everybody else gonna do i really hope u get the gig my guy u deserve it!!
Wow. Finding so many great drummers out of this Primus thang. Your snare sounds CHEF'S KISS and I bet that has a lot to do with your technique. Good luck!!
As a heavy fan of Primus for 30 years now since I discovered them, and a huge fan of drums (finally got a set at 42 which was many years ago) I think you should be their drummer. Tim is my favorite drummer, "pudding time" is my favorite drum piece and I think you have the right touch. Well done.
No triggers, no complicated mics, this sounds good acoustically which is a dream for bands and sound engineers! The groove is there, the pocket is there, and the chops and “fun” is all there! I’d hire you!
You have been auditioning for this gig for a long time. I was watching this thinking, "he looks like the guy who does the Jerry cover on that little kit with one tom and tiny cymbals." I looked it up and sure as shit...it's you! I've stolen so many drum licks from Tim Alexander. I wish you good luck, man. You were the first drummer I ever saw f****** with some Primus. I watched your video multiple times trying to learn it myself.
So well done! I really like that your voice on the drums shines through. You play Tim’s parts so well, whilst not trying to be him. …maybe just for our sake, I wouldn’t be adverse if you upload more of these to YT 🤩🙌 Hope you get to tryout with them in person🧡🕊️
Just saw primus in August. Dude I would be sooooo psyched if you get this gig.....THE gig! You the man. Your memorization skills are fucking next to none FR.
Go Josh! I'm rooting for you and Terrana to get this, I think you both deserve the spot. You where one of my first youtube drum influences back in 2015 when I was 13 y/o, i'm now 22 y/o and watching you play with Primus would be really awesome man!!! Best wishes for u and your family bro :)
This is the 3rd Primus drumming audition video I’ve seen in the last few days & this one is by far the BEST so far & this is coming from a drummer that has performed on many stages over the last 30yrs. This guy has great rhythm & presence. So if my vote counts, I vote for Josh, he ROCKS 🤘😝🤘
Am gonna throw in my support for you as well Josh. I don’t often comment and am absolute stickler for drums being done right…..you are and have always been streets ahead of other YT drummers….technically accurate to the recordings over multiple styles and most importantly your feel is always spot on….you feel the music and you’re by far my fave person to watch…..Les…..give this guy a go
Dude I’ve been watching your videos since I was a young teenager. You helped me learn so many songs from watching your covers and it dramatically improved my drumming, even though I’d been playing since I was 3. I took a lot from how relaxed and loose you play while still having so much power and I put you up there with all my influences like Vinnie Paul, Sean Kinney, and Tom Hunting. You’re seriously an unsung monster of drums. Nobody deserves to be in Primus more than you my man! Keep on ripping and thank you for getting me into Exodus with your Leonard and Charles cover 🤘🏻
You are the guy, man. Amazing and thoughtful audition, highlighting your pocket, chops, as well as various singles the band frequents live. Hope you get it.
I think the best compliment I can ever give is if someone played this to me and I wasn't aware of the situation ( but was a primus fan ) I would say that herb was the one putting in the most effort in this concert, but it is in reality Josh who is making all the difference and since I can't tell the difference that says everything Now that the opportunity is there I hope Les makes the right choice This is truly incredible and Josh deserves to be part of the band
In the long long ago this mans drum play throughs helped me wrap my mind around songs I was trying to learn and understand due to his quality above others. Even early on in the platforms history! Playing specific live versions of primus tunes is such a hard flex and takes massive ballz. Exactly the kind of person they need! 🤘 Hope you get the shot would be insane!
I’ve been watching you for years and have been my favorite drummer to do covers for Primus. If anyone is deserving of that spot, I think it’s you my man.
Thanks for watching yall! Maybe if we all make enough ruckus I'll get noticed!
The Alex Jones moon is rising in January and Mars will be out of retrograde! The bones will fall favorably!
I've emailed the band recommending you.
Lovely. I love your sound.. hope you make it bro
Hey bro, not trying to tell ya what to do, but you've sent this in yourself, and written a little something to them right? Guessing you have, but if not, please do. Just write a little sincere cover letter just telling them a bit about yourself besides being a dope drummer etc. All the best!
@@jamescassidy4045i did!
This man needs to play for Primus. It was written in the dead sea scrolls (fine print of course)
Rory Dolan is no joke of a contender. His band Lespecial covers Primus including full album sets. RUclips Lespecial Frizzle Fry
Yeah man! This! He's got that sumthin special you want in a drummer, and just looks the part!
Sloppy
@@aronp7097 It's supposed to have a sloppy feel to it. That's the point.
I posted one of your vids on their post. Been watching you for years. Hope you get it!
Did the same, He's the man for the job
@@tarvopajus We need Les Claypool to collaborate on the next infometal album.
Me too dude is an amazing drummer
Very good idea to drum along with live tracks
god i hope you get this gig josh, i used to come to your channel for covers and drum lessons when i was like 13, and now i’m 22 watching you audition for primus, you’re my endorsement for sure. 🙏🙏
One of the first drum cover channels I ever watched. That snare sounds killer and your playing is as crisp as ever.
Alright, nevermind. This dude is my top pick. He's got the look, the skills, the sound, stage presence, the gear, and around seems pro as hell. Hopefully his attitude is there and home life isn't a mess.
Appreciate that, yo.
this guy is awesome
Such talent i bet he can play some great stuff..
@@joshsteffengive me your time yo
I really hope you get it. You deserve the gig more than anyone else.
Bro, I don’t speak English well, but I believe in you!!! For Primus you are perfect choice!!! I start watching you 6 years ago, and you help me to understand how to play a lot of songs!!!
Hello from Ukraine!!!
Thanks so much for the support, it means a lot!
Got my vote. Years in the making..you got this Josh!!
Your playing style is like something in-between of Herb and Brain. Would love to see you actually getting the gig. Also, what a snare sound!
Nailing it. Favorite so far.
Honestly the best one so far from the people I watched. I hope you get it brother
I must agree with everyone else dude.....Best Primus audition I have seen. I hope camp Primus is paying attention.
Long time fan of the channel, Hope to see you on stage with Primus. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I'd vote for ya, Hoss. You have the tech and keep the groove too. We'd all love to see you land this gig. Slay on, slayer.
One of the best candidates I've seen...you have the groove, the touch and the tempo to fill that position...congratulations.
Its a win-win scenario for both you and Primus. Go for it Josh! ❤
Si no te contratan, no escucho mas primus. Love you bro! Abrazo desde argentina 🫂
Such a good vibe and stellar playing. You got my vote Sir.
I'm rooting so hard for you dude, best of luck
That was bloody excellent! And I imagine a lot of work went into preparing a click track ... and then play with that great feel. I thoroughly enjoyed it 👏
single foot triples - killer!!!!
Josh, you have the skill and you make all the perfect faces to be a great Primus drummer! ✊😆👍
One of the best I've seen so far. And you did it to live tracks, as well as offered a taste of a bunch! Bravo! It looks effortless, whereas others I've seen look to have to keep up
Love how hard you play, snap and pop! yessss
They were all awesome but "Jerry was a racecar driver" sold the pitch to me 🤘😎🤘 🥁 🔥 Awesome work! Wish you luck, my man!
Would love to see Frizzle Fry album medley!
So far you have the most natural groove I've seen. Keep up the awesome playing. GOOD LUCK!!!
Thanks!
dude if i was primus i would be givin you a call id be like hes first but lets see what everybody else gonna do i really hope u get the gig my guy u deserve it!!
Definitely the best man for the position, no doubt. Best of luck mate!
Wow. Finding so many great drummers out of this Primus thang. Your snare sounds CHEF'S KISS and I bet that has a lot to do with your technique. Good luck!!
As a heavy fan of Primus for 30 years now since I discovered them, and a huge fan of drums (finally got a set at 42 which was many years ago) I think you should be their drummer.
Tim is my favorite drummer, "pudding time" is my favorite drum piece and I think you have the right touch.
Well done.
Bruh Primus definitely needs to add you to the line up! Amazing cover! Come on Les can’t be sleeping on this guy!
I appreciate that!
Good Luck on your audition man !!!!
No triggers, no complicated mics, this sounds good acoustically which is a dream for bands and sound engineers!
The groove is there, the pocket is there, and the chops and “fun” is all there!
I’d hire you!

So sick.. The feel and power is spot on but you give it extra pump... Love it!
Appreciate it!

Just saw primus in August. Dude I would be sooooo psyched if you get this gig.....THE gig! You the man. Your memorization skills are fucking next to none FR.
You are on point my sir!! All of the drumming that’s come out from this is the reason why I’m watching your channel more premise, please
Been watching a lot of auditions today and yours is the best IMHO. Great job! Good luck!!!
I agree... Josh Steffan is great, I have seen him drum other parts; he is a natural talent
Killing it Bro!
Got my vote!
I really hope you get the gig bro! You sound and look great. Great style. Thanks for uploading, hope they pick you
Primus would be foolish not to hire you!! You have been so consistently good for so long. Best of luck, Josh.

Freakin flawless as always my brother! You make it look effortless sir!
Great job man. Like your original approach to the songs.

You are an incredible drummer. I hope you get it man.
Greetings from Argentina 🤘😎
You are the guy, man. Amazing and thoughtful audition, highlighting your pocket, chops, as well as various singles the band frequents live. Hope you get it.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm hoping for the best.
Awesome youre in the game!

I really do hope you get the Primus gig. This is so crisp and clean!
Totally Awesome and incredibly Dynamic
Best I've seen so far. Very natural
Yes, yes, 1000x yes. If Steffen gets the gig, I'm 100% there.
Dayum! Nailed everything. You need to be their drummer.
I commend you for submitting an audition bro, good luck!
Fan of Josh's for years. Fan of Primus since release of Frizzle Fry. I hereby bless this union. It'd be perfect!
Really hope they see this, man! Good luck!
Great feel! Good luck!
You are a master man, you fucking deserve it
Would be Awesome to see this guy make it!!!!!
Hope you get the gig!
I’ve been watching you for years and have been my favorite drummer to do covers for Primus. If anyone is deserving of that spot, I think it’s you my man.
I appreciate that!
First person I’m seeing playing to a live track , ripping it up as usual ❤❤❤
First one of these I've seen that could really work, Good luck mate!
You deserve this man!
