An creative musician on TikTok has shared a video of themselves drumming to Metallica’s traditional St. Anger title monitor. However with an precise beer keg instead of the same old snare drum!
Sound acquainted? Rock devotees doubtless equate the usual metallic beer keg with the heavy rhythms of fellow metallic act Slipknot — particularly when founding Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan performs the keg with a baseball bat. And that is precisely what musician Devin Taylor (@fountane) does in his viral “St. Anger” TikTok drum video — he thwacks the keg (amongst his common package) with a bat. The musical influencer beforehand melded Slipknot and Metallica drumming in one other video.
Watch the video down towards the underside of this put up.
Us metallic followers know the St. Anger snare nicely, whether or not we prefer it or not. When making the Bob Rock-helmed St. Anger in 2002 and 2003, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich experimented with turning the snares off on his snare drum. By eradicating the wires from the underside head of the instrument, the ensuing tone was extra booming — extra like a tom than an everyday snare.
Three years in the past, Ulrich stated he stood by the choice. “I am all the time simply trying forward, all the time desirous about the following factor,” the drummer defined in 2020. “Whether or not it is Metallica all the time considering forward or in my private life or in relationships, no matter I am doing.”
72 Seasons, Metallica’s new album, arrives on April 14. The veteran metallic band launched its first single, “Lux Æterna,” final November. Get Metallica tickets right here. See their 2023 tour dates beneath.
