Metallica’s Lars Ulrich Accepts Drum-Off Challenge from Will Ferrell and Chad Smith

Yesterday, we told you about how comedian Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers/Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith have challenged Lars Ulrich to a drum-off for charity; today, we tell you about how Ulrich has accepted the challenge. The man known in France as Le Batteur Diminutif tells Spin:

“It was a little lonely on the sidelines during the first drum-off, given the somewhat forced nature of the lookalike element between Chad Smith and Will Ferrell, when I’m TRULY the one carrying that dead-ringer gene around! As for any further drum-offs, I’m sure that with a bit of practice, I could give Chad a run for his money. But Will? That’s a whole different story. He rules the ‘bad-ass drummer universe.’ I mean, you’re talking about a guy who’s so next level, actually, so beyond next level, that he may just be completely unreachable! That said, I’m definitely up for the challenge… Bring it on!!!”

Wow. Whoda thunk Ulrich would just flat-out admit that the Anchorman star smokes him behind the kit? Kinda takes all the fun out of it, no?
