    Speed & power, gotta love it. I hate the sound of his snare on the last CD, though.

    To be fair to him, Metallica have gone through a lot of **** recently; with one memver dying, and another suffering a breakdown, so you gotta give him a little slack. Not that I'm saying he couldn't have used such instances to make himself a stronger/better person and turned them as positive as possible, but he's not exactly had an easy life of it...

    wah....everyone goes through s**t whatz important is how we deal with it....my mom and dad moved out and left me alone when i was 17 then my mom charged me rent to live in my own house then sold the house out from under me...just a couple months ago my 18 month old niece that i and my wife took care of almost every day died and her step dad is now on trial for F**king murdering her and I have remained possitive and in good spirits with everyone...it's one h*ll of a struggle but if i can keep a good atitude after all that then so can Lars...and his drumming isn't THAT impressive...

    oh yeah...i agree...i think he is perfect for metallica and did and still does a beautiful job...he is very simplistic though and not too impressive in those regards but he plays well with the band and plays just the right things for Metallica tunes...i just don't think he could handle the complexity of say latin or jazz drumming or even some of today's metal....

    I don't think there are alot of rock drummers out there who can switch over to hard core jazz.

    Also, those guys took so much crap from the cover CD they did that I doubt you'll ever hear them try to stretch out again in public.

    I'd pay money though,to see James Hetfield cover Ella Fitgerald!

    Lars is not a bad drummer...but PA LEEEZ ! He sure loves to hear himself talk! I've never heard a drummer with such a BIG MOUTH ! And he never has anything interesting to say...Sheeeez! Clam up already !

    He's quite full of himself. Not a modest guy.

    I used to love Metallica...before playing in a Metallica tribute band for 5 years...but before that, i loved them.....saw them live for the first time in '86, on the Master of Puppets tour, 6 months before Cliff Burton died....seen them numerous times since...a lot of energy, and a great show each time, but I must say this....Lars Ulrich is not a very good drummer. True, he has some very creative fills, and he definitely has his own style...but the man cannot keep a straight beat, not even consistently through one song. His meter is all over the place..fast, slow, fast, slow.....and thats just one song! And, bottom line, what is the drummer's most basic job, folks? KEEPING THE TIME!!

    well I used to like him and his playing. but when I became older in my drumming, and began to know some other drummers I really think he isn't that impressive at all. ok, his playing fits the music, but there are so many more things than just the way he's playing. btw absolutely hate the sound of the snare of the ST. Anger album

    he used a brass-shelled snare drum with a TON of reverb on it on that album....absolutely horrific.

    Do all brass snares sound like that, or was it just the reverb & misc. studio tricks that did that?

    no, the tama bell brass is a soud of its own. my pearl brass free floater is perfect.

    I think a LOT of it was the reverb...but at any rate, it sounded horrible.
