- Yoooo guys, this shit is NASTY. Such a fun time to transcribe these parts and learn the vocabulary of Spencer. So many cool little things that he does that I don't hear anywhere else. The 4 kick drags and all the neat bell fills, there's so much detail in these parts and it's so fun to try and learn it. That being said, a lot of this vocab is still so new to me so I tried my best!
While I don't think I have a shot in hell for this, I'm very happy with my playing with this! The playing is unedited and raw with the only sample being the kick drum. It was shot with four cameras at the same time. Hope ya dig! I started learning Golden Mouth of Ruin so hopefully, I can get that happening soon as well.

Bro even if you don't get this gig - just playing this song as clean as you did is a ridiculous accomplishment. Had a blast watching you play.
The shimmery grossness of a guy who really plays the drums.
Bravo on a killer play through
I long for a shower at my studio I swear...
Just the fact that you started the video sweaty:
-You play drums even when the camera isn't on
-You do this for the CRAFT, and not for BS views
Instant sub. Thanks for uploading, it means the world to us 🤘🤘🔥🔥🎸🎸
Amazing performance. The main thing I'm getting from watching these auditions is that Spencer is a literal machine in terms of precision and that people who can absorb what his style is and adapt their own version of it will be better off than people who are trying to match that precision perfectly, unless it happens to come naturally to them.
As someone who has both drummed and sought out highly technical drummers for over 15+ years, I mean it when I say Spencer might be one of the most talented drummers I've ever seen in my life. Physically I'm not sure there's any contest, but the fact that he mastered stuff like his four stroke rolls and gravity blasts to create totally new signature sound ideas make him beyond amazing imo.
Just my twopence: If I were a member of Archspire I'd consider it an honour that undeniable masters of the death-metal kit such as John and Kevin submitted entries/auditioned for the gig; if I were primarily looking for a bandmate as well, I'd have to go for James or Greg, might give the edge to James who's also demonstrably got a sense of humour, adding to the chops...Good luck!
This is def among the best archspire audition takes. You made that shit your own and nailed it, very sweaty, new big fan.
Yeah I tried to play everything note for note but just frankly couldn’t remember all of it haha.
Agreed. Watched a good amount right..this is my fav.
I could watch those switch blasts all damn day
Fuck yeah! That double stroke roll blast beat thing was clean as a new pair of white Js.
Such a sick take on it
Man. Flawless. Fucking amazing stuff man well done.
Bruh, those shorts gives you a spot automatically. Welcome to Archspire. For real tho, you are so far the best one no doubt, using all the cymbals as should.👏
Damn, this is seriously good. I've seen a lot of auditions and honestly this is my favorite. You have not only the technical accuracy of Spencer, but the borderline manic energy in his playing. Killer.
It’s the “holy fuck fuck fuck fuck” energy
Your attention to detail is really nuts here in terms of cymbal voicing and whatnot. I'm not a listener of the band, but with all the auditions I've been exploring it and this feels like a really researched playthrough. Nevermind the playing which in itself is already great.
Yeah I transcribed the tune in GP8 and tried to be as detailed as possible!
@JamesKnoerl You definitely did a killer job. Amazing performance.
Haha LOVE the face at the end, u fuckin rocked it bro! I honestly didnt know it was possible to attain gravity blast speed by doing switch blasts and still hitting the cymbals in time. It all sounded pretty clean to me, if not perfect! Im rootin for ya homedog, also checkin out some of ur other vids now too, super impressive!
🤘☠️🤘
I watched like 20 covers so far for the archspire audition, you're the one that matches spencer energy and style. you nailed it!
Do check out Wildy Souza 🔥 That Brazilian dude just blew my socks off.
I'm fucking blown away that so many people can play these songs on the drums lol
I’ll echo several other comments and say I like how you didn’t just play the exact same as every other competitor. No one will perfectly replicate it, but you absolutely nailed it. The consistency of those alternating hand blasts is incredible.
Holy that was clean. Really something to strife for.
The cleanest cover on this song by a mile. The other guys wish their snares mix sounded even on your flutters like yours.
Awesome skills my brother!! The most organic audition i've seen so far. Saludos desde Argentina!!
Instant sub - Broseph! You practically OWNED this shit! I have seen lots of other auditions, of course Kevin Paradis shines bright, but he’s also „taken“. You sweat, you almost threw up in the end, but man, it was GREAT to see an utterly doucheless, unfancy, nameless (?) dude make a name for himself! Knoerly, that’s all I can say. I’ve seen others upload fake or simply bad takes, I wish the best to you, whatever comes along, even if not Archspire, they can kiss your sweaty pedalstompers
I like your approach on the blast beat sections, also that orange sparkle kit is fucking gorgeous!
Bro I love this kit. Thanks for the kind words!
Pretty amazing!!!!🤩 I love the sound of your snare. Pretty clean!
Ya know. There’s lots of dudes that can play these songs. But nobody else looks like they should be? Good job dude
The sound of that snare 😍
That’s a killer blast
Your feet have improved so much over the last couple of years. Great cover man.
Fucking hell, this was beautiful, I really loved your approach to the blast beat.
I'm not even a fan of Tech Death like i used to be, but this was damn impressive. Killer drumming !
Yeah the drumming for this band is expertly crafted.
Nicely done. Spencer is a beast to follow after...but you did it justice. Cool gravity technique.
I don’t think there’s gravity in this tune. I think he does a switch blast for the verse parts!
@@JamesKnoerl my bad I misspoke
Im digging it, nice job!
Excellent playthrough dude, I’m subbing
Huge respect for the raw audio, fantastic playthrough
this is by far my fav Archspire song- i've listened to it hundreds of times and i can say this is a perfect cover. good fucking job dude
Thank you! It’s a ripper for sure!
Fav audition. Would love to listen to ya on next record.
Really great playing man! Your cymbal work really did the original part justice, and overall super clean and natural
Nice work, dude. Your kick sounds amazing. Very nice.
It’s the sample from the record!
Mannnnn, at the VERY LEAST I would assume that you will get a proper audition to be part of the band. This is the tightest cover I have seen thus far. Keep dropping them and grind as hard as you can because I honestly believe you have a good shot based off this video my dude. And regardless of how it all plays out, I just want to give you mad props on your skills man. Amazing drumming! 🤘
Yeah I’m playing a weekend of shows and then I’m gonna get back at it!
Great stuff, James! Can't wait for Golden Mouth of Ruin!
@@piscesfreak1 bro if I can learn to gravity blast at that speed.
@@JamesKnoerl U can 🎉 vamos!
transition part at 0:30 is absolutely amazing, props !
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Much respect. That was clean. 🤘
Gotta say that this has been the cleanest and most effortless audition I’ve seen so far. No hate to anybody attempting these songs but most look like it’s killing them and I don’t feel as if they could do a full gig without major breaks. But you sir, look like you’d fit the bill in a gig. Congrats and best of luck!
Excellent!
Real honest playthrough, unlike some of the clearly fake ones on UA-cam.
I believe Spencer played those fast bursts on the kicks with heel/toe.
this is absolutely insane
HOLY SHIT!! That was CLEAN!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
DAMN DUDE! 🔥
Most impressive. Been a fan since the Native Construct days. Massive respect for learning these impossibly intricate parts.
I really liked that band, whatever happened to them
@@xRhychuxthey’ve been blowing people’s minds. That rock you’re under will move if you try a little.
Great performance - good luck my dude!!!!
Dude Holy fucking shit that was fucking awesome. Very fun to watch you play too!!
Thanks!
tone spot on
Snare sounds great! Thanks for not editing too. Excellent job
Hell Yes! 👏🤘
@@DeathsEminence Let’s do another record!
@@JamesKnoerl No joke I was just about to hit you up about doing a new EP just finished - then saw this awesome playthrough! Best of luck by the way!
But yeah, I'll be hitting you up regarding the EP very very soon!
@@ChrisReadsTolkien shoot me an email I have some availability the next couple of weeks!
@@ChrisReadsTolkien shoot me an email I have some availability the next couple of weeks!
dude is a machine! fucking sick performance brother!
Haha!! Holy shit what a monster!! 😈🤘 Such a beautiful drum set too 😧
DW be looking CLEAN.
Wow! One of the best ones so far!
Archspire is so grueling to play; great work man - hope you get it!
nice
Invader zim spotted. 😂 Well done
Very nice dude!
Pretty tight. Good shit. Good luck.
Archspire has some pretty deep talent to pick from, and anyone not picked definitely has the talent to crush it in other bands. Keep blasting 🤘
super good man
Killer job James! GL
Dude hope you are well!
Not one gravity blast! You blew my mind.
Thank you! 😊
Archspire is nuts!! Awesome drumming mate!!
Thank you! :D
awesome job dude
This is the best one fs
There’s a lot of good ones!
nice work
@@sunsty1e thank you!
Wishing you the best. This the best audition ive seen so far. You know what they say - sometimes if something good doesnt happen its because something better is just around the corner. And you just have to have faith and put in a lot of work. And you can tell this is years of work. I love Dean Lamb even tho i dont listen to this band much (its a little fast for me now haha). He's just such a funny intellectual tho that i cant help but check out their stuff once a year or so.
Anyway, best of luck man. Not that you need it. This is great.
Thank you!
This is TIGHT
Fucking hell - rad job mate - that splash at 3:10 though....killer.
Thank you!
Awsome =) thx for the video
This is fkn fantastic 👏
Fetus Mccarlane?! I didn’t know they had internet in the wombs these days…
@@JamesKnoerl they have great accoustics 😅
Heel up for life!
Respect!
If not you, then who else? You got this!
Kevin!
My mans wet and ready, damn. This is the cleanest playthrough I've seen over the last week, amazing playthrough man
So much sweat hahah.
Best one ive seen so far
Go check out Wildy Souza 🔥 That Brazilian dude just blew my socks off, did the Doppelgänger.
Are you his bf? Stop spamming. This guy is better or we’d be watching your bf. Hush.
@@tuukkahalttunen2046 You are right! That guy is also very impressive
Thats a sick way to do those blasts hahaha that has honestly never occurred to me hahahahaha 😂🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Thanks to Archspire for this genius scheme to lead their fans to such awesome drummers.
Thank you James. 🙏 I will be returning for more.
Subbed.
Beast!
Absolutely unreal. Best cover that’s come out yet in all this.
Oh wow thanks!
🌋🤘👹🤘🌋
You friggin mad lad 😱
I love you.
ur wild dawg
@@ChaboyAnthony thanks sir!
you killed it!!! so fun to watch
Thank you!
God damn, what a clean play
Thank you!
That was insane
I love you also.
Holy crap! This is the tightest cover I've looked at ever since these auditions first started popping up in my recommendations. Bravo 🤘
Awesome! Hard work! And I, a lazy ass, still can't get around to their works))
I'm a bit of a blast beat noob so I don't know the name of the specific blast where your snare hand is following instead of leading, but I really really enjoyed your snare work during those parts. Usually when I hear that type of blast the drummer puts way too much emphasis on the now backbeat snare, but you put your stick really close to the skin and got a great muffled sound out of it, which you then punctuated with those super loud (rimshots?) pops. Very awesome stuff.
Awesome dude
Next human murmuration please
Stay tech
I can’t stay tech or I’ll die.
So sick man! Can't imagine how many takes to get that one perfect like this
Three days of attempts and then I think like the seventh attempt on day three. On day four I rested.
@@JamesKnoerlOn the fifth day, he gazeth upon his creation, and he saw that it was good.
It's always those that presented themselves with humbleness that blew everyone's mind. Well done mate, SICK drumming right here
Very nice! I like the double stoke blast.🤘
damn bro
Fantastic playing dude!
My new favorite from the auditions.
Wow! Thank you!
The playing was 100%. The camera look at the end? We're at 101% brother.
Oh hell yeah.
I feel like having aviations and archspire on your resume would be the most insane whiplash
That was really well played man!!
Wow congrats on that!!! 🤘🔥🤘
Interesting alternative to the gravity blasts. Well done!
Huh, I guess Spencer doesn't use gravity blasts where I thought he did. Ignore me! Still, bravo on the solid cover.
@@SHABAD0OI mean you could totally do the left handed gravity that he does on a lot of other songs in here as well. Bro, as long as the notes gets played at this point. Shit is so fast. Hahah.
I kinda like the alternative way it's played.
I was thinking the same thing.
