@@B1tterAndThenSome as much as I love the artisan era, they kinda over produce and make bands sound more the same. Their new song is cool but would love that techy chaos back with Alex
Lol I was going to say something but really didn't know what to say I used to incorporate a lot jam block into some crazy patterns in metal but not blasts with a cowbell that was cool
I was hanging with John prior to Origin's set back in April, and the topic of other drummers came up. I asked him about drummers who he feels are cheaters in terms of trigger sensitivity and other shortcuts, and Keith was one of the names he dropped. He did have nothing but praise for Alex, however.
Much respect to this guy! I don't know anything about him and the band, but I love his style. He plays very fast and technical stuff, yet he hits his drums pretty hard!
Fuck yeah. This guy, Lille, and KC Howard take it to the next level by incorporating other elements of music within Death Metal. Hands down three of my favorite drummers ever.
Yeah, I also knew that he had pretty extensive gospel experience. Again, I feel about this kid the same way I feel about Lille Gruber: we need more drummers like this. I mean, you can't be slacking if you're gonna do brutal death drumming, but they just take it to a whole new level.
If anyone cares, i've got the full song on my channel. Filmed the same night, so you can actually see this camera lol... but ya, the rest of the band comes through allot more clearly if you want to hear it.
As dude from morbid angel said,everyone has the right to make or follow a formula which will make them happy.Christianity,satanism,islam,atheism,buddhism.Doesnt matter!People are people!
now we know why trivium picked him,,
Playing with Trivium is like a slow motion to him
7 years after this was posted I still keep coming back. Sweet performance.
Just insane, trivium must be in slow motion for him
9 years
Still peak arkaik
@@XenoTravis Yeah, I don't think they'll ever be back at Metamorphignition levels of awesomeness.

I've come back to watch this every year since I watched it. Still as good as the first time watching it!
I really like how he doesn't just hit the cowbell a few times, but fully incorporates it in his songwriting.
It fits so well it seems like a part the guitar should be doing.
god damn that traditional grip tho
tho it looks very cool, I'd say it's a bit misplaced, as he cannot achieve the right attack with it
Thomas Anderson Yeah mainly for show but... Really only impressive to non drummers, as we can see it's impractical and unnecessary in this case
SkateSmokeAndDrum Yea ur unimpressed becausd ur pioneer yotube drummer.. yeaa
Its very practical in this application, ergonomics. He uses the traditional grip to help him on his hi-hat accents.
I was around 17 years old when I first ran into this video ...27 now...gives me nostalgia ..how I wish I can go back in time
this dude's playing style is awesome as hell
Came back again after some time to watch this masterpiece of a drummer. Cheers alex!
I’m surprised no one has said anything about the cowbell
Lol I was going to say something but really didn't know what to say I used to incorporate a lot jam block into some crazy patterns in metal but not blasts with a cowbell that was cool
Wow. That's a lot more stage presence and enthusiasm than most metal drummers. Sounds great too!
Of all the drummers on sickdrummer. Alex Bent and Drummer from
Within The Ruins are definitely some of the most UNIQUE and gifted drummers.
Afro windmill for the win!
I love the way he bang his head and plays XD
pure definition of sick drumming
The kid started out as a fusion drummer, which explains a lot of his playing and sticking style.
Every second of this is pure fucking perfection. Everything you could ever want in your brutal bands drummer!!!

i have never heard of him or the band, but his style of drumming blew me away... breath of fresh air you might say...

Love it. Great tuning on the toms, CowBell, nice groove, solid timing, and killer blasts. Even a bit of the trad grip. Oh and... cool 'fro. :)
Alex is now 18 years old. A friend of mine and a drum prodigy. This kid will go FAR
this aged well
And now... He's on TRIVIUM
Man, this guy has got the sickest style... No big deal.
yes! that was sick, thank you for this video.
Fuck yeah. This guy, Lille, and KC Howard take it to the next level by incorporating other elements of music within Death Metal. Hands down three of my favorite drummers ever.
4:27 Holy f*ck! I can't believe what I just heard! Incredible!

This guy is amazing. I would love to see him go against the Dominator.
Watching this guy play live was awesome.
so much feeling in that playing. love it
Love this band. You guys should check out their previous album and their pre prod song Skingraft Hieroglyphics from the upcoming album

If anyone cares, i've got the full song on my channel. Filmed the same night, so you can actually see this camera lol... but ya, the rest of the band comes through allot more clearly if you want to hear it.

Patrick Robert from Gorguts, Blake Richardson from BTBAM, Evan Sammons from last chance to reason are a few.

This gets minimal views,but housewives of wherever get way more views without any skills behind their BS? Fuck that!!!
Talk about freestyle.
Alex is 19 Zak :p
If he can't be possessed by the devil, what is he possessed with ? George Kollias ?
Where the fuck did he learn to play drums... so weird and fucked up but still great !
Peace of FRO.
Never knew murderface could play drums
Dat afro.
Yeah... Thats true.
Its all about the Drummer and not on the drums and Cymbals.
The Drummer should be tight... Thats it.\m/
Thanks...
Gospel type fill at 1:13... word.
damn he needs some new cymbals bad
clean feet!
Who could top that.....anyone.. nobody.....😂
This song needs more cowbell
