His drumming isn't the only thing mind-blowing, but he's got a discography that most drummers would kill to have.

5,000 kids are going to learn to play drums because of this video. 10,000 parents are going to lose a lot of sleep. You're the man, Freese.

Anyone back here in 2024?

Holy shit. That mix of groove, precision, and simplicity is hard to beat. No wonder this guy gets so many top gigs.

The wall of double kick at the end still gives me goosebumps every time i watch this.. Cant beat Tasteful double bass as opposed to overkill

Robin Finck happy walk at 1:32 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Magnificent work. Freese plays exactly what needs to be played. No more, no less. That is a difficult state of mind most drummers can't get to, especially on a live gig.

This is my favorite live drumming video of all time. I've watched it hundreds of times over the years.

I love how his snare work matches the melody of what Trent is singing at 1:44. That was a cool little change up.

Savage. 1:42 I always come back for this one part. He plays along with Trent's vocal phrasing.

Just think, this song is hard enough, but hes also listening to a click track, plus he has strobe lights in his face the whole time, not to mention the sweat burning his eyes! Josh Freese you should apply for the Mars Mission!

Any band would be lucky to have this beast on board ❤

Imagine being one of the 97 clowns who gave this legend a thumbs down.

I also find his playing to be very visually satisfying. sometimes i rewatch the slip rehearsals just for him alone. the man.

Arguably the best rock drummer in the world. Incredible locomotion. Incredible feel and diversity. Incredible energy and musicality.

He’s definitely one of the greatest. All hail Josh Freese! 🥁

I just found out he's going to be the new drummer for The Foo fighters today !! Josh and Dave !!! Drum battle anyone ???

I've probably watched this about 20 times. Reznor sounds pitch perfect too.

Still one of my favorite videos to watch. Congrats on the FF gig.

I first got into Josh’s drumming on Suicidal Tendencies ‘Art of Rebellion’ and have been continually amazed at how his unique style shines through no matter what type of music he’s working with. This version of Wish is stunning. 🤘🖤🤘

I don't even play an instrument and I find myself watching this video at least once a week...amazing

After seeing NIN live about a dozen times, as I watched this the thought that crossed my mind was he has the safest seat in the entire venue.

This dude was a legend at 21. Look at his discography. It s biblical.

SOOOOOOOO UNDERRATED ! His work with APC is incredible !

I've seen this like 800+ times now, it NEVER gets old.

This insane bro!

I don't think I could count how many times I have watched this since he uploaded it. Doesn't matter because it always kicks ass! One of the true masters of drumming at work.

i can watch this all day

New drummer for Foo Fighters!!! Congrats

I just came back to see Josh on drums.This man's a monster on drums.

Welcome to FF, cant wait to see you all playing live.

Best fit for NIN. I miss this lineup and Josh in A Perfect Circle. Your drum fills are seamless

Love Robin at 1:31 !!! Thanks Josh, really!

what impresses me most about the true pros like this is the stamina it takes to sustain that level of precision and "pocket" for an entire 2hour + set

Josh has an open handed way of approaching drumming that is very inspirational for this Phillips fan. Freese's work in Slip rehearsals was fun to watch. Mad respect.

This man doesn't get the recognition he deserves, absolute powerhouse behind the kit

Oh My Goddess!! Can't wait to see you with Foo at Bonnnaroo 2023🖤🖤🖤🖤

clean, beautiful, perfect. thanks for the clinic, Josh.

I played this at a gig when I was relatively new to drumming and didn't realize at the time that it's a straight-up country train beat, like on Folsom Prison Blues. Fits perfectly!

You’re looking at the highest level of rock drumming right here. Only a trained eye can really understand just how versatile & precise his playing is. A comparison would be Danny Carey “Pneuma.” Watch the Vic Firth drum cam video on here & those double stroke rolls at the beginning that he converts to single strokes, and as smooth as butter. That’s the type of versatility that Josh shows here on those varying snare notes. Both are masters of being able to play softer/lighter notes between a heavy note & that might not sound difficult on paper but try it & you’ll see that even most pro drummers can’t play like that. Josh doesn’t play polyrhythms like Danny but that’s never been his thing but Josh can sit down with any band and nail whatever they throw at him. And in a studio setting, Josh will make every single band sound way, way better. The examples are literally in the thousands.

Arguably one of the greatest drummers of all time. This video makes me happy in my pants.

lol 1:33 fucking Robin Finck, I don't know if that was intentional, but he just had a huge smile on his face.

that off beat he plays after the first part of each chorus is so good i thought it was a mistake at first. My brain was easily 3 seconds behind how bad ass that is.

I’ve watched this video. So. Many. Times. Masterpiece.

I find myself coming back to this video every once in a while and I'm left in shock and amazement every time I watch it. I can never get over how crazy good you are at this, and would love to see you with NIN again one day! Probably my main inspiration for playing the drums.

Whoa. This was intense. Almost felt like I was there. Outstanding.

I keep coming back to this dope ass video

It seems like Josh Freese has played with like every good band ever and I'm totally okay with that lol

Welcome to the Foo Fighters Josh

Josh Freese, the human drum machine. That was badass.

I could watch the entire show from this perspective !!

I've watched this over and over for years. Amaze-balls!

all the best with FF!!

Congratulations Josh Freese. 👏👏👏

Not every day a KZfaq video makes me want to give a standing ovation. Well done sir!

Amazing, Josh. Congratulations!

This video is too kickass for words. Absolute eargasm.

Every time I watch this, I have goosebumps.. What a drummer. Awesome Josh. Love you, no homo.

Best band since 1992 for me...........thank U ......thanks .......

Just outstanding. Often revisit this video and am always blown away.

One of the best drummers ever in my opinion!

Drum-machines watch Josh Freese videos for inspiration. What a monster of precision and power.

So outstanding. I watch this every other month or so, and I'm always blown away.

I've watched this like a dozen times now. Amazing drum work, and the whole band just sounds tight as hell. Good stuff.

Just watching this is good cardio! Thank YOU!

My favorite NiN drummer!

This song is all about percussion and he nails it. Unreal. He just filled in I think to perform. Had to learn all these songs

Josh Freese lives a life I can only dream off. He is what I aspire to be as a drummer his playing is phenomenal.

I have always loved josh's drumming on this song. its crazy clean and energetic. not to mention that sick double base ending starting at 3:50. Its never been played live this great sense!

Holy crap that ending was phenomenal.

He's having so much fun, too. To me, that's the best part. He's incredible on the drums and in this song he gets to let it all out.

I love his drumming so much. First heard him with The Vandals and have been listening to his stuff ever since! He's so damned good

Just stopping by in 2022 to say are you kidding me

Hey what are you doing during the pandemic? Watching one of my favorite drummers and bands!

excellent work worthy of admiration ...!!!

so great. thank you for doing this. It feels like being in the experience

That double kick drum at 3:50 is like ecstacy for the ears!

whoever's been doing the live audio mixes for nin the past 10 years seriously needs a round of applause

I only recently learned about Mr freese here, within the last year or so. I'm not a musician or anything I just have an appreciation of music. And goodness gravy, this man right here is mine blowing every time!

Cant stop watching man...brilliant !!!!!! OMG !!!!

Brutal. Would like to see him do "song for the dead" too.

nin will never find a better drummer

I've seen NIN over a dozen times and this performance (and Gave Up) brought a whole new level to the live show. Amazing.

OMG! Such great energy and stamina!! I love you Josh!!!!

PURE MONSTERITY POWER

@01:43 …”you know me…” is so badass

Best NIN tour ever. Rocking like no other! So cool!

Absolutely crushed this. Awesome

He's a drum machine disguised in human skin!

this snare lasted 1 song

This is seriously intense, man... If I drummed like that for NiN for even one show, I'd die a happy man

This has got to be one of my favorite videos of all time. What a machine. Thank you Josh, you're a huge inspiration🙏🏼

he is the master of a skipped beat that is expected is additional emphasis.

I could be related to this guy?

One of my favorites songs featuring one of my favorite drummers. Thanks for posting this Josh.

Foo Fighters, here we come! Can’t wait to see him drumming with the Foo. Hope it happens and works out well.

And to think that the original drum beat is a very dry machine loop...

fucking awesome!

I still need to come and watch these every once in a while.

Some of the best drumming you'll see and hear. Insane.
