- Just back from Benighted Canadian tour, which was a true blast, and I decided to try some Archspire. I have learn 3 songs during the tour and begun to learn a 4th one. Today I have recorded A.U.M and work on an other one behind the kit. I'll shot this one later as I wanted to make some stuff tighter. And I will try to shot in video the 4 songs that I have in mind. So well, 3 to go. Do I have a chance ? I don't really think so but there is only something to earn to work on songs anyway !

Fuck YES, Kevin!! This is amazing
Make a video checking out all the different auditions!
@66Samus : Do check out Wildy Souza 🔥 That Brazilian dude just blew my socks off. He's like... Eloy Casagrande of extreme metal drumming 😶 Played Doppelgänger by Archspire.
Make a cover of this cover using adult toys instead of sticks
Ohhhh yurrrrrr!
sEx
A COMPLETE playthrough from start to finish in ONE TAKE with no jump cuts… what a menace. Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is the man for the job.
Srsly tho 🔥
Wildy Souza has a thing to say on that one. That guy is just... phenomenal 🔥
No jump cuts, the only trigger is on the kick, and it is patently obvious that it's not edited because that's what a snare actually sounds like when you hit it like that.
Top tier and none of that lord Marco type edits.
And no cheating or quantizing (which is important these days lol)
Gravity blast on the side stick is wild
It hurts the tendons in my arm just watching 😂
true... most drummers if not all will go for the right hand (i mean, except lefties)
Larnell Lewis would be happy haha.
Easiest decision a band could make!
indeed, one of the best most consistent extreme drummers around for the most extreme band around, such hard choices!
Unfortuantely it isnt, being able to play their songs is one thing. Being a great fit to all the other bandmates, the crew that they have, (and the fans) and being able to tour together for weeks and not smash each others skulls is easily the hardest part in choosing the right person for the job. You just dont want to go through the whole process just to figure out the playing is their but the match isn’t it so right after putting all the money down for all the promotion of “the new player”, all the time invested, you need to dismiss and do it all over again. Very underestimated. Can he play? YES 🤟🏼
@@Jaap-Relou Plus it is Kevin Paradis full time job as i understood. So i don't know if the band is hiring, or just use the search for a new drummer as an opportunity to have free exposition and find a free drummer. But if the band hire and pay a drummer, Kevin is a legitimate and logical choice
@@OtwanD...lol, what?
@@Jaap-Relouthen i would even more go for an established figure used to touring and being a professional.
So i dont really get the point you are trying to make
Let's mention and appreciate the fact this guy dressed nice for this audition - as you would if you were going to a job interview...
Dress for the job you want not the job you have 🦾
I mean, it's sort of a job application, so I get the nice shirt.
How he always looks
Dude even got his CV prepped, he is serious
A button up isnt "dressed nice". Some people litreally just wear that.
And if youre wearing jeans, you're also not "dressed nice"
And there it is, folks: the next drummer of Archspire.
I kinda feel bad for the other dude with blonde hair that has done like all the songs lol
Obviously best playthrough of an Archspire song so far.

In a world of highly edited and oversampled drum videos im glad we have an absolute monster like Kevin Paradis. Just proving once again why hes one of the best in metal.
I love how he has the portfolio at the beginning is such a cool and straightforward ❤
Unlike the other drum auditions…this one is actually real!
I want Kevin to win. He's the best so far. Id like to see him play golden mouth of ruin. Amazing entree!
I’m not a tech/death metal guy. But this is the ONLY archspire audition I’ve seen that has feeling in it… it’s kind of incredible. Combining this level of skill with vibe…
Even Mr. Paradis couldn't resist them double strokes for this song.
I had to rewind a couple of times. Gotta be due to gravity rolls.
@@Lupine. I think he just wanted to show off some doubles as Kevin definitely doesn't need them for a 200 BPM song. God, he doesn't even need them for a 280 BPM one actually lmao
Well you can't control your hi-hat pedals to make open/close accent if you play single stroke, you need heel up double strokes
@@kevinparadisdrummerthat is an insane detail i didnt even notice, even on my 4th watch! Just based on that kinda attention to the fine things archspire should hire you, honestly.
@@kevinparadisdrummer Now *that* is stunting on everybody else. "Yeah, I usually do singles, but I did heel-toe so I could add hihat accents to a gravity blast"
Awesome. Love how it’s clearly human. Doesn’t sound sped up or quantized like a handful of the other videos I’ve seen.
Saw him last Sunday in Toronto with Benighted. I knew right away he was one of the few who rightfully can play for Archspire
Please get this guy into Archspire. Benighted is also sick af.
So insanely sick and tight. It really makes you appreciate just how super human Spencer was, to make it appear so effortless. I really hope you get the gig!
You're the dude for the job. No doubt! Pretty much the only person I thought of when the news broke they were looking for a drummer.
Instant front runner. The only other person I heard recommended who is even close is Lord Marco but as far as I've seen he's only done a really quick audition on a livestream.
@@Nefville Marco is a good drummer but I question certain videos he's put out. I'm just going to leave it at that.
@@Jeffmetal42 Oh I know exactly what you mean. I remember a Rings of Saturn video that definitely made me raise an eyebrow. I really hope Kevin gets it.
@@Nefville yup, that's the main one I question. Def hoping Kev gets the gig, probably helps too that they've toured w him so they have an idea of how he is as a person
@@Jeffmetal42 Haha funny you mention this the day Mike Caputo uploads an interesting video on the subject.
First drummer that came to my mind when the news broke!
Knew this was coming.
Still blown away.
Great job!
100% the best cover yet. Everyone else just looks.... So much more in pain than you did.
This is the most relaxed and effortless performance of Archspire song I've ever seen:
ua-cam.com/video/phiNdaFyKfw/v-deo.htmlsi=MnerUft-HkFEBaJr
When I was thinking of who could replace Spencer, you were the first name that crossed my mind.
Here it is boys ... Kevin's thrown his hat in the ring ... Time will only tell now ... 🙌
I know you since the early Black Dahlia drum covers. You got so professional. Camera angles, capturing sounds, amazing. And you survived Kvarforth! You deserve the spot.
Holy shit, this might just be the best one I've seen yet! Great mix as well
Bro, if you don't have a chance, no one does. You are the PERFECT fit. Don't limit yourself. Embrace how excellent you are and let it show. Can't wait to see you on the next Archspire tour/album.
The freshest kicks on the tightest kicks
This is the best audition so far cause of its rawness. My god. You know the live show about to be crazy with you on drums !!!
The clear choice. There was never any doubt. Agreed, the professionalism and approachability that radiate from Archspire's members is very forthcoming.
It's over - been really cool to see talented drummers coming out the woodwork to audition, but Kevin is the man for the job.
Best one I have seen yet! Well done
Best audition for Archspire I’ve seen but it was never in doubt with the best drummer out there. It was so perfect and sounded like it was from the record. I even got tears in my eyes from how beautiful it was. But this has me quite torn. Please Kevin, don’t leave Benighted.
That's it. No point in waiting for other videos. The man just posted. No one can better do the job than Kevin. Congrats on your new job 😊
Kevin is such a beast on the kit. So clean and his technique is superb!
So far, out of all the audition videos I've seen this is probably my favorite
It's been really cool seeing all these amazing players come out of no where with these covers/audition videos. But Kevin is the man for the job plain and simple. I've been waiting for him to upload his video and it did not disappoint. Simply badass 🤘🤘
Absolutely the best audition I’ve seen! Hope you land the gig!
This is the best #archspireaudition i've seen so far
Go and see Wildy Souza 🔥
@@petitemaam8258yeah he wasn't close to KP
@@jeramy576 He surpassed Paradis. The groove, flow, power, nuances, truly unique stuff. Brazilians have it, same as Eloy Casagrande 🔥
@@petitemaam8258 ...let me guess, your Brazilian
I expected nothing less than perfection and you delivered on one of their hardest songs.
Killer!!!
I don't know if this is the hardest ? To me it was the nearest of what I have done in Benighted "Nothing Left To Fear", so I thought it was the best one to begin with.
@@kevinparadisdrummer Other drummers are saying it is, I dunno...your cover was flawless.
@@craigstrickland1572It depends on your skillset
@@craigstrickland1572Its gotta be Lucid Collective Somnambulation. A.U.M. is fast but its quick, LCS is a marathon of divine cymbal work its so hard ;_;
a CV and everything, great job
Holy hell, man. Absolutely nailed it. Incredible.
only one word. MINDBLOWING.
Dude,,,, wow
by far the best tone and most accurate drumming ive seen yet
this would be an excellent pick, archspire
By far the most natural looking audition. You get my vote sir.
sounded great, great fidelity too
makes you realize what a beast spencer is, best of luck to you lets go!
I’ve been watching all of the auditions in awe and this is by far the cleanest.
Easily the best audition vid I've seen so far. Super clean, excellent technique. And you've got the experience and touring chops to prove you're not just a studio guy. 100% the best choice the band could make.
Wildy Souza just posted A.U.M. but he upped the speed into +440 BPM 🔥
this....this is the bestest one. I vote for Kev!
There's literally no better drummer for Archspire, I'm really hoping to see you ocuppy that place!
Dude, I have lost so much time looking at video of people auditioning for Archspire, and I must admit that you are head and shoulder above all of them!
And homeboy even brought his resume with him! Mean, how professional is that? Would Hire, 11/10.
Hitting the stick with the stick blew my mind. How haven't I seen or done that?
This is the best one yet. Easily.
OMG I cannot believe you're throwing your hat in the ring. That is awesome!!! I haven't seen everyone who has but at least the ones I've seen, you are by far the most accomplished and capable of playing this stuff live day in and day out. Your resume speaks for itself. Good luck, I really hope its you!
Nice to see a drummer who doesn't speed up his videos and can actually play the material. Hope you get the gig.
Yooo 💀
Flawless, as always!
Brother, your technique alone makes my jaw drop! Clean, no straining or tensing up, those hands can blast my beats any day 🙌🏼
best possible choice, professionnaly and humanly!
YES BROTHER! I knew this day would come I’m so happy!
he's gotta be in the top 3 so far. good luck dude
As some one who tries to play drums(I'm no where the skill as these drummers) and watching a lot of the archspire auditions on here and there as been some great ones. This is my favorite. Kevin is a beast and the vibe I got makes me want him to be in archspire. Oli, Jared, Tobi, Dean...Kevin is your man #archspire #staytech
Yesssss beautiful unedited cover!! Absolutely impressive!!
Insane talent. Daaaaaamn dude.
I watched other aum covers, and this one looks really relaxed compared to others. Really good cover. Its interesting, how they would test composing skills
Very good job. The quality of your production is very nice ass well.
Kevin is obviously the right man for this job.
I’m not a drummer. I don’t know how to even approach playing these songs. I’ve seen many of the auditions and to me there is two. However… this guy is the only one that looks relaxed while playing. He doesn’t look like the song is kicking his ass. He looks like he could play the whole set and not be gassed after two songs. If you watch the other guys in the band play live they also look relaxed and in control. This guy has my vote. Not like my vote means anything. Good luck to all of those auditioning.
Who knew the IT guy from your office could blast like that!
damn this is clean! looking forward to seeing you in the band 🤘
Amazing job!
Hell yes, this is perfect. If you do get the gig it'll be well deserved. Amazing job as usual Kevin!
Go birds 😂
Go birds ! You're a beast Alex, can't wait to witness your bright future !
I just saw you live the other night with Benighted dude, and then you go ahead and post this?!? HOLY SHIT. Without a doubt you are a number one contender for the job.
Well Kevin, if they ain t select you this is because you are too iconic. you are a legend my man, absolutely crazy.
there it is, least unexpected entry into the archspire audition lol. sick shit!
solid! it would be a great match!
That was cleeeean
Non mais quelle machine!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, this application will be approved.. Crazy tight and clean!
Your technique is amazing!
Hell yeah brother
T’es un malade! Tu serais un parfait ajout au groupe! 🤌🏼
I've watched probably 30 of the auditions and I was just waiting for yours. Your resume as a touring or session drummer pretty much seals the deal.
I gotta say. This may be my favorite so far. You killed it, sir.
Best 1 so far , good Luck ,great job
Ok, I was waiting to see someone add something that was a personal touch to the existing music, and THIS hit that nail right on the head. EXCELLENT STUFF.
It feels good finally see somebody feeling comfortable with the material. Nailed !❤
very clean.
dude! super sick. hope they give you a shot. i like the improv during the interlude. when i heard spencer had left AS, i was super bummed. (i'm from seattle, and luckily they stop by often--my kid and i have seen them six times.) but now that i've seen your videos, i can tell my gf to unhide the razor blades lol.
He IS the MACHINE!!! Definitely not human!
Nice work Kevin! This competition just got CRAZY! I will have to up my game against you!
For me its between you and Lord Marco...either decision would be a good one. Regardless, absolutely flawless playing, mate, if you get it, absolutely well deserved ❤
Marco's a faker and a tool.
Lord Marco cheats
Marco is an actor while Kevin is a seasoned road tested vet. No contest.
making a huge change in the game in my opinion. this is raising the bar for sure
I love how Kevin is always dressed in formals while doing a drum audition just like me doing interviews
On croise les doigts pour toi tu mérites à 1000% !!!
insane timing
Give this man the job!!!! 🤘
If nothing else its just epic to see the drum playthrough of this song. I wish all their songs had playthroughs for all the instruments
A combination of one of my favorite songs played by one of my favorite drummers. Even if you don’t end up getting the job, this video was a treat.
daaaayyymmmnnn, thats fire! I hope you get the spot man!
