An creative musician on TikTok has shared a viral video of themselves drumming to Metallica’s traditional St. Anger title observe. However they use a beer keg instead of the standard snare drum of their drum package!
Sound acquainted? Rock devotees seemingly equate the steel beer keg with the heavy rhythms of fellow steel 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 with a bat. And the musical influencer beforehand melded Slipknot and Metallica drumming in one other video.
Watch down towards the underside of this put up.
Us steel followers know the St. Anger snare properly, 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 a daily snare.
Three years in the past, Ulrich mentioned he stood by the choice. “I am all the time simply trying forward, all the time occupied with the subsequent factor,” the drummer defined in 2020. “Whether or not it is Metallica all the time pondering 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 steel band launched its first single, “Lux Æterna,” final November. Get Metallica tickets right here. See their upcoming 2023 tour dates under.
