  • 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.

    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.

    • @NTSTS0
      @NTSTS0 16 днів тому +1

      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!

    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.
