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.
@@drummerdan95 and they lose that respect once they utter that untrue sentence. Mike Portnoy? Mike was a blithering idiot that was regretting walking out on Dream Theater.
@@MarcusSandoval-kx2th he's not a super great live drummer but he definitely gets the job done. in the studio, he tends to make very simplistic drum parts (which isn't bad though, it actually works better for metallica than complex drumming). he gets more hate than he deserves
@@MarcusSandoval-kx2th He has written some incredibly iconic drum parts (one,fuel,creeping death) and has incredibly solid rock rhythmic grooves. He probably cops shit for not practising much and being a hack live occasionally. (Their songs are also not easy live, thrash metal songs probably require constant practise)
Love or hate him...I'd like to see drummers pull off master of puppets parts....let me know how that works out for ya....perfect parts..this songs hard to play let alone come up with them parts.!!!!!!
Totally. He is great. He writes and plays very memorable and important drum parts. People can say what they want about his technical skills...but Metallica sound good, don't they? He is the perfect drummer for their band. To drums, he is essentially what Johnny Ramone was to guitar. People forget that the song is the most important thing. Serve the song. It isn't about how many strokes or fancy techniques you can pull off during a fill or groove..it is about how you serve the song...and Lars does that perfectly.
My first kit was a nine piece Tama. Same cymbal setup as his during the late 80s/early 90s. Since then I've downsized to a three piece including an 18" bass drum and only cymbals being a ride and 17" hats. So yeah, I went a different direction. But how fast did I click on this? Milliseconds. Seeing Lars behind those two Tama kicks teleports me back about 30 years. He'll always be the guy who got me into drumming.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@BrandonMelvinDrums King Nothing did it for me, that sight of him playing in the snow was so cool. But the Roam is great as well, especially when he does that one-hand snare fill leading up the chorus and holds the other arm up! That was rad.
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!
People who bash lars are jealous of his success. END OF. He hasn't been a douche since pre-St Anger days so well over 20 years. He's now really down to Earth, a nice dude and has been improving lately as well. People are mad that they can no longer bash him cause he keeps proving them wrong.
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!!!
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!
Saw them three times on tour. Flew down to Mexico City for one of those. I don't even listen to metal really anymore, but I'm always seeing Metallica. Being on the floor and having the bass from Lars' two kicks hit me in the chest during Blackend or One made me feel like a teenage kid and reminded me of why I got into drums in the first place.
Gotta love Lars. Dude is not only a living legend, but he’s a founding member of the most influential metal band of all time. And as many have said, I’m so glad it was him talking about his gear, I really expected it to be a tech.
Very cool and very instructive! Despite driving me crazy with his drumming for the past 10 years, Lars is the reason I started playing drums, and I will always be a fan.
Love Lars! On a non related Metallica, Lars note. Hope you guys do a Tour Kit Rundown with Mike Portnoy since he's back with Dream Theater. I also love the stage Metallica has here, the way he's explaining the rotating kits and stuff, pretty cool.
Very cool! Not often an artist does his own rig rundown and this is one of the most comprehensive ones I've ever seen. No stone left unturned and cool insights. Well done guys!!
@@DavidOakesMusic The 72 seasons tour was only fridays and sundays.. so, there doesn't need to be 12 kits. Just 4, with 2 back ups. This is per the backstage tour video on RUclips. They can tear the kits down in a few hours after the show, and along with guitars and that type of gear, can get to the next stadium by Mon-Tues, for a show on friday. Now the towers/stage/rigging on the other hand, the guy said there was two sets of those because they need 2-3 days of set up and 2 days of tear down, so it's not enough time to do that between weekends.
Wow what a rarity, there are videos far and few between of Lars talking about his kit, brilliant upload. I travelled from Ireland to Amsterdam for the first shows of the 72 seasons tour and was standing directly behind Lars in the snakepit. The energy was ferocious and understand what he means about hearing the drums acoustically and thru the PA. Thanks for the upload I never clicked so fast
a truly phenomenal look at what we needed to see....in both denmark AND america's most immersive drummer, and the benchmark fellow of which we all looked for direction on the kit at some point or another. it was guys like lars who showed us how to get down. thanks so much modern drummer, you dont know how much it means to have him show us this.
I never would have picked up a pair of sticks if it wasn't for Lars. There will always be faster, more technical, more creative drummers, but Lars laid down some serious foundations for rock and metal drumming. He'll always be a legend and one of my absolute biggest influences.
@@kannank.used it on tour until before Load. Didn’t record the Black Album with that, they used a Ludwig kit in studio, but even the Black Album tour was done with the Tama Artstar. The he went with the Starclassics by the time of Load and this particular setup I recall first from S&M, so close to 25 years.
They augment the live sound - they don't replace it. Also they can be used for gating purposes. Thirdly - this is a year ago - the tom microphones have now indeed moved inside the drums themselves.
@@DavidOakesMusicyeah, they were used just for gating the toms when Big Mick was at FoH. I'm not sure if they're using them to trigger sounds now, though it would help with consistency between the four drum kits.
He's the man that got me in to drums, for me he's a hero and my inspiration. I remember when I buy my drum set as a teenager, it was a black and white like the one he played in the Black Album tour. Mine was a cheap chinese drum set but I was happy asf and the first song I learned was "For whom the bell tolls". When I listened the "And Justice For All" album I was very impressed and teached myself to play every song. I've been a fan of Lars and Metallica since 15 years ago when I was a teenager and I will listen to them till the day I die.
great to hear lars talk about his drums, it’s not always that we get « drummer » lars interviews, he always talks about the band rather than his instrument. thanks modern drummer ❤️
Great to see the kit run through by the man himself. Been a Metallica fan and a drummer for 30 years and love their success. Big love to Lars and the rest of the band
Definitely cool seeing one on him, love his drumming and the kits he’s playing are just as badass. Definitely looking forward to seeing them in Toronto next year, it’s gonna be great
This is the ultimate kit run down I was waiting for!! Going to see Metallica in Toronto and at Sonic temple festival in 2025. Great interview David and modern drummer ! 🤘
It's so easy to hate on Lars because of his playing style, his toothpick and damn bathrobes and i do that a lot, but I love hearing the man speak passionately about his drums and not sending a drumtech to do these video's. He deserves a lot of credit, he seems like a great guy.
I think people forget or don’t understand he plays out of time on purpose cause it works to his unique style.also whenever people say lars is a terrible drummer and that it’s easy. Tell those people to try and play motorbreath on drums. Cause from what I’ve seen it’s not that easy
@@lewisgrant7622 I absolutely disagree. Playing out of time as a style is just stupid, i'm absolutely positive he's just slacking. He's not the world's best drummer that ever lived and that's fine. He seems like a nice guy, he plays in the biggest metalband in the world and he's living the life we'd all want.
What an absolute Legend! Lars is absolutely the original OG drummer I looked up to. Few could play like he did back in the 80’s and 90’s. And to see he is still rocking out over 40 years later is a testament to his dedication to his craft. If I hear the word “continuity” one more time, I might have to throw up😂. Go Lars! You rock!
I’ve been drumming since 1993. Lars, Bill Ward, Dave Lombardo and Mick Harris all got me to dive head first at the age of 16. 🤘🏻 Impressive having consistency between 4 drum kits. Thank you for this video!
The legend who inflicted many of us to start drumming, I always had Tama drums just because Lars played on Tama, now I have the Starclassic maple since 2012 with the roadpro hardware just because Lars have the same , sold my Zildjians A Custom and got the Sabian AAX , Lars will always be the friend , the uncle and the drum master that I had since I was a kid, now I'm 40 and the teenager in me can't be more thrilled after attending many Tallica gigs behind Lars , long live the legend
I love how Lars is still concerned and really wants the fans to have a full real experience when they come to see Metallica even after all these years🤘🤘🤘🤘
Finally someone notices this, i swear this guy knows nothing about drums and is the fakest person ever and heres an example, in charlie benante's kit rundown when charlie was talking about his roland triggers and how he blends his ACOUSTIC DRUM with the TRIGGERED vinnie sound David said "oh you must really depend on these triggers" even after hearing that he blends the two sounds and he could play the set without them charlie still had to correct him. And during Danny Carey's kit rundown he kept on sucking up to danny for no reason and when danny was talking about the song "chocolate chip trip" David for some reason said, "is that another thing we have in common, we both liek chocolate chip cookies" he sounded like a teenager trying to find things they and their crush have in common.
@@noahthedrummer5150Danny Carey said the song was named that because they were eating so many chocolate chip cookies in the studio. They were literally talking about eating chocolate chip cookies.
I love that the man himself showed up to introduce us to his kit. Love that yellow with the black hardware. Say what you want about Lars but that man is a legend and has influenced so many to become drummers.
The piece talking about the snare drum and its sound for each recent album, specifically for "Hardwired", I loved. The snare sound on that album was a lightning strike.

Thinking the same. Wasn’t actually expecting him to do it!
The first sentence is correct. The rest aren't.
Bullshit. @@MetalPersonJ
@@MetalPersonJit's absolutely true lol, just look at how many respected rock and metal drummers today cite Lars as an influence.

Notice the drummers in the comments. Also notice the solidarity!
You are amazing, Josh. I love your KoRn/David Silveria drum covers.
You're very talented been watching your videos for years
Also notice the Larsism

Well he has to do something around the drums...
Agreed
this is true, imagine the drummer of "trendy" band sending out his tech now...hahaha

There hasn't been a single day in over 35 years that a Lars drum beat hasn't been in my head.
Same here for over 32 years 👍
thats a good point
Same for me at 26 years
No torture nor therapy would ever be able to remove something from AJFA being played in my head or on my belly daily.

For sure. He only complained about free access to their music when the internet happened.

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.
the only one after him with similar impact would be Travis Barker, but it is very rare indeed.
Well said. It’s exactly like that.
For those that cannot aspire to Neil Peart there's always Lars..
Yep…Peart didn’t do shit.
@@tommynikon2283 He did. But as for more cultural impact and Iconic songs than Lars ? He absolutely did not.
Reading the comments brings me immense pride. Everyone's coming together to celebrate the legend that got us into drumming all those years ago.
This is so sick. I’ve waited years for Lars himself to take us on a tour of his kit. Very cool.
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.
Chad Smith is a way better drummer though
@@David-cu1xy chad sucks
@@David-cu1xy dude RHCP blow chunks.... worst band in existence. no way

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!
I learned to play drums because of Lars too, my drum hero
I picked up a guitar bc of Herfield and Hammett, so I know and respect the sentiment.
We, the whole Heavy Metal comunity owe Lars sooooo much. You and that little project of band you had changed the world.
Yeah. 40 years ago
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.

So cool to see this video, watching your drum hero talk about his kit is pretty damn super.
Lars put me in the drumming throne. I'll be forever thankful to him.
John otto and lars are my two fav modern drummer episodes
It's cool that Lars has been with TAMA since the beginning.

People don’t realize just how much Lars is invested in his drum kit,sound and the attention to deals. Not just drum wise but also the bigger picture
The legend who inflicted many of us to start drumming, I always had Tama drums just because Lars played on Tama, now I have the Starclassic maple since 2012 with the roadpro hardware just because Lars have the same , sold my Zildjians A Custom and got the Sabian AAX , Lars will always be the friend , the uncle and the drum master that I had since I was a kid, now I'm 40 and the teenager in me can't be more thrilled after attending many Tallica gigs behind Lars , long live the legend
I love how Lars is still concerned and really wants the fans to have a full real experience when they come to see Metallica even after all these years🤘🤘🤘🤘
Congrats on the amazing video, David! 29 minutes well spent.
22:00 makes perfect sense-with four kits, you want consistency, so using triggers/samples is perfectly justified-even to the purists.
His cymbals ALWAYS look incredible! The colour of them is amazing!
Did he say his rack Tom’s are 12 and 13? Looks like 10 and 12 to me?
10x8 and 12x10
Exactly. And, he's been using that configuration for years.
A living piece of music and drumming history. All respect 🫡 And thank you Modrrn Drummer. I grew up reading your magazines every month.
How does David not know Ahead Stick are Aluminium? every interview he says something that makes me thing he does not work at that magazine.
Finally someone notices this, i swear this guy knows nothing about drums and is the fakest person ever and heres an example, in charlie benante's kit rundown when charlie was talking about his roland triggers and how he blends his ACOUSTIC DRUM with the TRIGGERED vinnie sound David said "oh you must really depend on these triggers" even after hearing that he blends the two sounds and he could play the set without them charlie still had to correct him. And during Danny Carey's kit rundown he kept on sucking up to danny for no reason and when danny was talking about the song "chocolate chip trip" David for some reason said, "is that another thing we have in common, we both liek chocolate chip cookies" he sounded like a teenager trying to find things they and their crush have in common.
@@noahthedrummer5150Danny Carey said the song was named that because they were eating so many chocolate chip cookies in the studio. They were literally talking about eating chocolate chip cookies.
Laz You Rick ...
I wanna know what's up with the dude's eye....
@@CorridorOfChameleons94Looks like he might have a prosthetic.
Woooooo! The one and only, great video! Thanks for the content!
I love that the man himself showed up to introduce us to his kit. Love that yellow with the black hardware. Say what you want about Lars but that man is a legend and has influenced so many to become drummers.
That WAS phenomenal!
Hey guys, it would be really cool if you took a tour of Eloy's drum kit!!! 🥁🥁🥁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
THIS!!!!!
The piece talking about the snare drum and its sound for each recent album, specifically for "Hardwired", I loved. The snare sound on that album was a lightning strike.
Stop the Lars hate, amazing drummer. Damn near underrated at this point for all the hate he’s given.
