A couple of years ago they made a statement trivium has parted ways with Alex and I left a very long angry message...turns out it was April fools day and I had to delete it 😆 🤣...I was so mad 😆 🤣
5:24 to the end is just perfect, the build up, the technique, the guitars, vocals and lyrics all work so well together. What’s more amazing is that Alex is doing his thing as if he’s reading the morning news paper and playing so effortlessly while I’m in my living room resisting the urge to flip the coffee table and bounce off the walls. Flawless as always
He's among my Big 4 of drummers. Danny Carey - the guy is an octopus Neal Peart - nothing even needs to be said here Austin Archey - that man beats those drums like they owe him money Alex Bent - this guy has taken Trivium, a long time favorite of mine, and elevated them to a whole new level, Trivium has always been a damn good band, but their last 3 albums are cemented as some of the most amazingly badass metal out there, I'd hold these records next to Reign In Blood, Master of Puppets, Far Beyond Driven, Rust in Peace. On a personal note - Alex, I missed the hell out of these playthroughs, you did the entire album for TSATS, but I didn't see them for WTDMS or ITCOTD, this is the first one I've seen, if you have time, please post the rest whenever you get a chance, you can see the talent from listening, but actually watching you work like this is mind-melting.
I love how apart from playing on a level many drummers can only dream of he does it with zero showing off/useless tricks and movements... Frankly he looks as if he is bored doing it 😄
Another awesome video. Can you please at some point do a drum cover of my favourite song off this album No Way Back Just Through, and I would also love to see you showcase how you would play songs like Caustic are the Ties that Bind, Black, Watch The World Burn, In Waves, and Built to Fall. Keep up the amazing work .

Alex and heafy Have made this band literally imo the best band in the world.... as far as I'm concerned there is not a band who can touch them, even old trivium was amazing to hear but these guys have really given trivium such an amazing new sound!!!... it's like the harmony has progressed so far forward even bands like IN Flames and gojira still can't touch these guys now.... although I do think IN FLAMES new album foregone is a new start into a future of music as fantastic as Trivium!!!!!....
it is obvious that you guys write different instruments seperately and some parts are forgotten about as for unison. both verses halfway thru have a spot where alex accents the ending phrases and it seems the guitars and vocals dont know hes doing that. real oppurtunity for some tighter screws on that verse. its a shame too, becuase that verse is super catchy. Not a hater just the producer in me is picking that up
@@judgeshred66 nice one dude! That was 2006 with God forbid! I saw that one in Manchester, God forbid was incredible and always underrated👌 hope your well my man
I can't say that Alex is my favorite as I have so many I hold in very high regard but I can say that he's right there at the top with all of them! What a phenomenal drummer/percussionist! Truly amazing! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Trivium early years - "Damn this drummer is pretty sick" - Middle years - "This guy is pretty freakin good too!" - Now - "What in the absolute fuck? Alex elevated this band from legendary to gods......"
@@punxsutawneyphil3944They are both very good extreme metal drummers. Eloy is more of traditional grove drumming thrash metal drummer while Alex has more progressive Hogland Richard-Christy flavor. Both Kick ass
The best drummer they ever had was Travis. Look back through the discography. It’s not about who’s the most technically gifted or fastest, it’s who they wrote their best music with. Clearly, and by a mile, that was Travis.

Best thing to happen to Trivium.
The chosen one
Agree
@@alyssonerlandsson the ice cream one
He completes them

I don't know anything about drums, but Alex's drum playthroughs are so incredibly fascinating. I can't stop watching them. :D
How has Alex Bent not been on Drumeo yet??
Imagine the perfection when they give him a song he's never heard with a drumless track 🥵🥵🥵
I want Trivium played at my funeral. BEST. BAND. EVER.
Same here
❤❤❤❤
Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones. Fight me bro, I will die on this hill. 😤
I'll see what I can do, when would you like the funeral?
@@Hollyucinogen Trivium and Killswitch are 1 and 2 for me 🤘

A true legend! He became one of my biggest influences along with Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, Nick Menza (RIP) and many others! A beast of drums! 😈🤘🏽🥁
The Phalanx is my favourite Trivium song, I saw them last year and they didn't play it so I'm really glad to see a live drum playthrough.
He's among my Big 4 of drummers.
Danny Carey - the guy is an octopus

Could I mention Sebastian Abildsten of BAEST if you haven't seen him play..... enjoy ua-cam.com/video/XvLK5vr_bz0/v-deo.html
Alex : I want 9
Sales Assistant : size 9?
Alex : no, 9 pairs of Nike Cortez pls...
How the fuck does Alex make it look so god damn easy, the timing, consistency and intricate techniques are next level 😮
Alex and Mario (Gojira), most interesting drummers in metal imo
They are my foavorite but + sean reinert gene hoglan thomas heake
Alex Bent is a freaking beast on the drums!!!! I’ve been a fan of his drumming since he first joined Trivium!!!
ive been a fan since arkaik haha
and touring with decrepit birth of course
@@TheSadistNat1ondude I saw him live with them opening for Cannibal in like 2012. I totally wish he’d get back into technical death metal!!!
Alex is amazing, we all know this. But I’m freaking out about this backing mix, Paolo and Matt sound WAY better here than on the album.
You should do some covers off of shogun or ascendency
I'd like to see him add some of his personal spice to the classics
As crazy as it is, it still feels like Alex is only playing like 40% of his power, and thats terrifying lol
Alex looks so in the zone when he's playing. So relaxed and focused, completely in his element. Absolutely sublime to watch.
Bro used to play for Arkaik, Brain drill heheh this is an easy gig for him
I love how apart from playing on a level many drummers can only dream of he does it with zero showing off/useless tricks and movements... Frankly he looks as if he is bored doing it 😄
Vi meritate di mettere le scarpe a posto al Globo. Imparate a suonare gente, voi spicciate casa a Massimo Ranieri al massimo.
Just absolutely amazing!!! Incredible and the best band on the planet!
You need to do an appearance/collab with Drumeo!
3:13 favourite part
Dude is like a wizard casting spells with those sticks
Alex, you will forever be one of our generation’s greatest drummers in my opinion. You’re my hero, dude!
I’ve loved the past drummers of the band but Alex is by far my top favorite drummer for trivium! One of the greatest bands out there!
Another awesome video. Can you please at some point do a drum cover of my favourite song off this album No Way Back Just Through, and I would also love to see you showcase how you would play songs like Caustic are the Ties that Bind, Black, Watch The World Burn, In Waves, and Built to Fall.

One of my favorite songs. Absolutely epic. Alex is a monster.
Mesmerizing and delicately mind-boggling. Super song, great drummer.
I enjoy watching this professional percussionist kick some major ass🤘🪖🪖🔥🥁🥁🪖🪖
I took this song after hearing it as one of the easier drum tracks on the album...oh how I was wrong...holy shit Alex...this dude is insane!!!

FUCKING MONSTER!
Alex saved Trivium. No question about it!
🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Dude is so good
We need in the court of the dragon
I don't even play drums and I love these videos!
He's the calmest looking drummer I've ever seen. But his wife throws in crazy shit while he's working at Home...so fun!
Another awesome video!
Editing/Directing could be better… noticed Alex playing the crash but the sound was from the china 😮
A True Master At His Craft! All Hail!
So this is where they have been uploading these playthroughs. At first it was on Alex's channel and now it's Trivium's. I wonder what happened.
Alex and heafy Have made this band literally imo the best band in the world.... as far as I'm concerned there is not a band who can touch them, even old trivium was amazing to hear but these guys have really given trivium such an amazing new sound!!!... it's like the harmony has progressed so far forward even bands like IN Flames and gojira still can't touch these guys now.... although I do think IN FLAMES new album foregone is a new start into a future of music as fantastic as Trivium!!!!!....
Yes KORN! This song is heavy! But don't compete against korn !
At least korn kept the band original we even had joey jordison step in when David the drummer had to take time away 🤟🖤
@jakewilshire2137 I'm a korn fan don't get me wrong but literally trivium has been better then korn since trivium was created!!!
Alex is one BMF! They fire him every April 1st. It's bullshit. 🇺🇸🤘
I cant play drum, but see alex play drum so awesome and make me want to play it although never know how long for me to play like alex 😂
Alex is so mesmerizing to watch to playthroughs. Amazing.
Well done Alex, i was shocked when you didn't get drummer of the year. What a masterpiece
Technically very, very strong, I hope Rush take a look at him if they start something again.
I honestly started to tear up….. AMAZING!
Put a beanie on and play for tim pools band. Everyone would think Tim was playing drums lol
I've tried listening to the last 2 albums and I just can't do it. I end up skipping most of the songs trying to find one i like but its not happening
Bro always plays like he is on a 5 star, missed no notes playthrough on guitar hero. Doesn't miss a note haha What a beast!
Man would actually love to see alex cover earlier songs like from ember but with his own twists and taste to it, would be moist as 👌
Not bad, but nothing like the true legend Lars Ulrich
Are you serious?
@@GuitarBondy sure am, without him Metallica would be nothing

The cymbal work wow, then he just sits there like he didn’t just kickass
Shit is unreal man hands down these guys are amazing. Alex is a beast.
This went from my least favorite to one of my most favorite tracks from the album the more I listened to it
like to see you on drumeo doing some Dethklok playthroughs
Is that some kind of swivel technique that he does from 6:25 to the end?
How dare you be so good at life. My 1st gig 2005 ascendancy tour in Wolverhampton UK, anyone else there?
I was at Exeter, same tour though I think? God Forbid supporting?
@@judgeshred66 nice one dude! That was 2006 with God forbid! I saw that one in Manchester, God forbid was incredible and always underrated👌 hope your well my man
Ah yeah I forgot the year! Great gig though. Agreed God Forbid were great.
would love to see some dual guitar playthroughs like this :)
🔥 🔥 🔥
Then at the end just finishes like.....yeah that'll be adequate
Drumeo should invite you on at least one episode. It would be cool
Killer.. Instead of cowbell.. Needs more kick drum..
THIS IS THE GUY WE WANT IN OUR BAND.........BIG INFLUENCE
I can't say that Alex is my favorite as I have so many I hold in very high regard but I can say that he's right there at the top with all of them! What a phenomenal drummer/percussionist! Truly amazing!
🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Stunning talent epic song brilliant my man 👏👏👏🤜🤛
This whole thing looks effortless, is this even hard for him?
First
Each member of this band is a master of their instrument. 3:21
what kind of sneakers are you wearing brother?
Toca como se tivesse me servindo café no shopping manaira
Esse cara é insano demais kkkk
Clapton a lassú kéz dobos alteregója. Bazi jó.
Such a bad ass kit perfection at best!
Круто играет🎉. Огггонь музыкант🎉
Alex, !un maestro en la batería!.
Travis Smith is irreplaceable!!!!!!
god daayumn ove hearing a half time feel groove in heavy metal!!
Awesome!
Those nike have to go though lol
I would listen for him
Он для вас бриллиант. Не потеряйте его.
Trivium early years - "Damn this drummer is pretty sick" - Middle years - "This guy is pretty freakin good too!" - Now - "What in the absolute fuck? Alex elevated this band from legendary to gods......"
bad ass drummer so far love how he plays
Brazil ❤
Mr. Bent doing it beastmode!🤘
Mario Duplantier V2
beautiful technique
6:25 I've seen countless of alex's videos and this is the first time i saw him doing double swivel technique
I was thinking that too
Alex is insane!
rhythm in your vein! keep on going!
Super human shit right there 👏
Que barbaritat
Trivium one of the few bands that makes new albums better than their first albums
Very thoughtful work
Alex is a beast. I can't name better thrash metal drummer
Eloy. Sorry. 😅
@@punxsutawneyphil3944They are both very good extreme metal drummers. Eloy is more of traditional grove drumming thrash metal drummer while Alex has more progressive Hogland Richard-Christy flavor. Both Kick ass
@@punxsutawneyphil3944eloy is shit compare to alex bent
Arrest this man.
fuckin masterpiece
Alex is a master...that is all
The best drummer they ever had was Travis. Look back through the discography. It’s not about who’s the most technically gifted or fastest, it’s who they wrote their best music with.
Clearly, and by a mile, that was Travis.
Base off their popular song, means that person is the best drummer?
Travis was great, but he’s no Alex Bent
