For a guy that doesnt warm up before shows this kicked my ass every night 2nd in the set. Also, it's a miracle I never had a seizure from the light show while trying to concentrate on this stuff. No added effects when I edited it together. You're basically seeing what I was seeing every night behind the kit.

wow…
Two nights of footage used with one night’s audio, based on his comments [IIRC] from the Wish video. [NOTE the black wristband/strap on his right hand in the shots from the back/left.]
@PogoMojo This is a blend of clips from two nights at the same venue, using one night’s audio. [Based on his comments [IIRC] from the Wish video.]
Forearms of fire! Fucking amazing, fills at the end are unbelievable. Love how he goes from looking like he’s having a slow dance with the sticks to a killing machine!
He plays it so TIGHT!
@albk12345 I’m glad that you didn’t wrote “I used to be better than Josh Freese but then I took arrow in the knee”
Can I ask why you used the butts of the sticks for the first three quarters of the song and then switched?
I was once better than Josh Freese at drumming…then my math teacher woke me up.
Drumcomputer just don’t look this cool.
I hope you post the video of Head Down, that beat is so freaking sick!!
HOLY FAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!
Nice speed, dude. One of THE most impressive drumming videos of all time. Seriously.
Josh, how the hell did you deal with the strobes night after night?!? Head-ache much?
Fast like a evil…LOVE HIM!
@trecoolmania When you listen to the original electronic version and then compare what Freese plays you’ll see that he plays an even more complex part than what a computer had originally played. He is more creative, more aggressive and appropriate than anybody could even make up on an electric pad. I love Josh Freese.
@pinktrashxxx I think no one is better for NIN than Jerome Dillon, but Josh is god.
!!
@trecoolmania I wouldn’t say the drums are shit on the album, but the raw energy and anger of a live performance is unmatched.
Nice to see Josh flex some 16ths. Great opprotunity to use some speed that I always knew was there.
Yo Josh, I saw this tour on Halloween 2005. I suspect Jerome Dillon was playing that night. It was my 2nd NIN show, the 1st one being on the Downward Spiral Tour at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. Anyway, with no disrespect to Jerome, I really would’ve loved to have seen you play with NIN. It’s not all bad though. I did see you with APC in Feb. 2001 in Nashville. Keep it up!!!
@ricardoieci Pretty sure it’s a brass DW, not totally sure though.
@PrisonGangGame a good drummer never drops the beat
Anyone knows what snare is he using?
stifle my <3
Amazzzing!! Best drummer nin ever had
Josh, what happens if you drop the beat in a big concert? Would Trent flip out and throw his guitar through your drums?
@trecoolmania don’t know what you’re talking about much?
