Episode 79: Jimmy Clark - Laughter, Loyalty, and Life as Lars Ulrich’s Drum Tech

The week of January 29, 2025 on The Metallica Report…

Percussionist Jimmy Clark, also known in the Metallica world as Lars Ulrich’s tech, joins us to share stories of his own career, how he became friends with a mischievous young Danish drummer back in the day, his industry education in Nashville, and how he worked his way from the rafters to the stage with Metallica. Jimmy also discusses his own adherence to perfectionism and how that comes in handy while managing multiple kits on the M72 World Tour.
