Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to check this out and share feed back, I appreciate you guys very much. There's a lot more to come, cheers everyone! :D
RegenSRL really? You're comparing the rev to Alex? The rev was a good drummer, sure, but not that great. I feel like people just praise him because he's dead, otherwise he'd just be another decent drummer
Mr. NoName 606 now if Matt doesn't find a reason to fire him, and say he was a "session's" musician. Or just fire him! Since Travis, they have yet to accept that THEY need to let the "new guy" stop being new, and be family!
Outstanding! You deserve all the success that comes your way Alex. Been a Trivium fan for a long while and I can't remember a time where they put the spotlight on the drummer as much as they have with you. Cheers for breathing new life into this kick ass band!
Every note calculated. Trivium is a great band, and Alex takes them to the next level. No wasted spaces, no filler, always tight! Really enjoying your patterns man
hello i came from the future and they keep alex for their newest album, and every single song, and i mean EVERY SINGLE SONG in What The Dead Men Say is so good that it's really hard to pick a favorite. they've found their ground again with Alex
I come back to this video all the time and honestly I haven’t seen a metal drummer wow me like this since I first heard Chris Adler. First heard him on Ashes of the wake, then Sacrament and got my mind blown. But Alex, to me is just that next level of drumming.
That one foot bass drum at 3:40 is probably not human, and if it is, it's definitely not allowed. That being said, I've loved Trivium for many years, and this album slays all. It combines the best elements of all the earlier albums, and tops it off with the drummer to end all drummers. Watching this shit has me in disbelief over how casual Alex seems, and then I remember the videos from the studio where Alex says "yeah, no problem" to everything that is asked of him before recording it flawlessly on the first or second go. Hats off to this man.
OMFG! You're the most intense and accurate drummer I have seen in a while. This comes from a drummer to a beast drummer. Keep up the good work, you're amazing dude!
The thing I think I love most about this is look at the drum setup: 1. Not too crazy in terms of cymbals and drums. 2 BD, 1 SD, 2 Toms, and 1 FT. There are quite a few cymbals, but I've seen some drummers who use even more. 2. No cymbal is left neglected. Variety is amazing. 3. Everything is really open but not too far apart. After seeing this I am inspired to know Alex gets this much technical complexity out of a tasteful build like this. So almost anyone with enough practice can play these songs. Such a legend.
You are an absolute beast. I started listening to you guys about a month ago, maybe a little over, and I couldn’t believe the drumming, unreal. The Sin and Sentence album is insane.
My gawd...the technique...the expert use of all symbols...the constant change in tempo...the blasts...the double kick!! I'm stunned! He is definitely in my top 5 favorite drummers! And for Trivium itself...best metal band in the last 15 years...period! I love you guys!! Thank you so much for making metal awesome for me again and thank you guys for bringing back real art to the music you make!!
he's thanking us while we should be thankful for him for existing in this world, thanks for your massive skills you have man all respect to you thanks for being in Trivium
Man, Alex Bent was like a stone in the glove of Thanos, it fits perfectly and was meant to be. It's incredible how well his drumming allows entirely new level of songwriting for Trivium.
Damn! It’s really impressive how you can keep perfect time through those double time beats with the double kicks, upbeat snares, and rides accenting the guitar riffs.
Fucking SAVAGE!! You saved Trivium! ESPECIALLY playing the old songs live. It sounds like Trivium again!! Not rushing the songs and keeping them tight. THANK YOU!
Alex bent is the new kind of metal drummer with a style that no one has ever heard before. He's taking stuff from the dawn of this s type of metal drums to a whole new level. He's fucking phenomenal!!! And!!! He barely breaks a sweat doing it
I'm straight awestruck. This makes me sad that illness caused me to have to give up my miniscule experience with drumming...I can however air drum my heart out to the new album. Hell yes!
Right when I thought we've all have seen the best drummers in the world. Here come's this guy, thank you for your dedication to let us know there is another level we can achieve.
Alex, I love the way you use your splashes man! Just adds that extra little bit of spice to the top without going overboard and I can't think of anybody else that uses them as effectively as you do! Great work on these vids from an epic album!
I was wishing to see Shannon Lucas as the next Drummer with TRIVIUM, but I'm now I'm glad to see a young and talented guy like you Alex, who is surely going to influence the progess of the Band.
Like everybody here, I really hope to see you behind Trivium's drum kit for years to come. You nailed it when performing the old tracks you played when I saw you live in Paris, France, last March and your drumming on The Sin and the Sentence really brings the record to a whole new level. I will never forget Travis because he was in the band I fell in love with 11 years ago, the band which became my favourite of all time since then, nor will I forget Nick, Mat and Paul for what they brought to the band but you, Alex, really are the drummer every Trivium fan has dreamed of for their favourite band and I don't think we can thank you enough for that. I've sincerely loved every Trivium record so far (I just cannot dislike a Trivium record, not even a single song, it's kind of mission impossible for me haha) but this one already holds a special place in my heart, it's like falling in love again with the band that changed my life back in the days when I first heard A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation on a magazine sampler. Keep up the amazing work, Alex, looking forward to seeing Trivium for the 8th time on your next European tour.
This song may well be a masterpiece, no lie. I've been a fan of Trivium since Ember to Inferno and I honestly have no words for how absolutely "next level" this new album is. Alex I truly believe that you, my friend, are the key to that..Just phenomenal.
Alex Bent see if you can find the original Z mega bell ride. Dude, your drumming is just mind blowing. I envy you, you're a year older than me and you get to drum with some of my teenage heroes. Kudos to you pal
those double kicks....and that speed...))) im still building my stamina. can I ask what angles your legs are? I find keeping my feet further back gets my speed up but cant go for long????
Thee most technically impressive drummer ive ever seen. Everything is just so clean. All your hard work has most certainly paid off man. Congratulations
2 snare hits, 4 rides, 2 snare, 4 rides, 2 snare, 2 rides, repeat with double bass pedals throughout. Replace the final 2 snare and ride hits with a roll down the toms to end the bar.
I WANT YOU TO STAY FOREVER IN TRIVIUM ! the "new" trivium with you on the drums is so much better than what they have done on Vengeance fall and silence in the snow ! I can't wait to see you live !
Dominic Sanchez this is Busch league psych out bullshit.. it's laughable. Pretty sure you were referencing Big Lebowski there, although it was a little changed.
I really friggin' hope Trivium keep you around, cause if they replace you, there is NO WAY they are getting someone who is better, more fierce or more talented, cheers brother.
Dear Alex, Please inseminate my girlfriend. She needs your drumming seed of life. I shall teach my spawn blast beats when he turns 3. I shall become a drum god vicariously through your seed.
WOW Bro SPLIT OF THE BENT I DESIRE YOU FOREVER GOOD VIBES WHO CREATE LIES IS A BETRAYER WHO RELATE MEMORIES IS A GOD VERSUS BEGGINER YES I WRITE LYRICS BRO! @edersonwarlock instagram
Hey Alex, as someone whos been a fan of trivium longer than I haven’t been, and seen them with every drummer they’ve ever had, you hands down nail the position. It’s a refreshing thing to see someone who’s got new ideas for them and play soo effortlessly. Keep up the good work man. Welcome to the family. Very stoked to hear your playing on this release.
I started listening to trivium again only because of the insane drumming. F*cking awesome! Alex your double kick has cost me 3 back windows from the bass hitting so hard through my subs.
One thing I love about Alex is none of his equipment is for show. A lot of drummers out there have these massive kits and maybe hit something like once during an entire show. Alex uses everything effectively and it really makes a difference.
This guy is a GENIUS!! And behold the technique, the fluidity, the precision... How the hell can he remember all of those filled drumlines (and those from other songs) is beyond my comprehension
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to check this out and share feed back, I appreciate you guys very much. There's a lot more to come, cheers everyone! :D
drum playthrough for beyond oblivion!
swiftie novel stay tuned 😉
This is fucking awsome
You rock
Bigger thanks to you for being a part of Trivium! New album is pure gold. Cheers!
You're not allowed to leave this band. Seriously some of the best drumming I've heard since The Rev.
RegenSRL didn't you listen to the new a7x stuff, new drummer kicks ass , as well =]
Berk Uzdoğan Yeboi, it’s Brooks flipping Wackerman on the drums. Never been a fan of them until that record came out
Brooks is a beast too
RegenSRL really? You're comparing the rev to Alex? The rev was a good drummer, sure, but not that great. I feel like people just praise him because he's dead, otherwise he'd just be another decent drummer
My thoughts exactly...
Damn he looks so relaxed like hes doing grocery shopping..
Goldenboy0627 lol it's true though
I want to do grocery shopping like this. :p
Goldenboy0627 dude i though exactly the same. This is the most chill drummer Trivium ever had.
just grabbing what you need off the shelves at breakneck speed! :')
His body is in auto mode while his head is thinking: "hmm spaghetti Bolognese or chicken parmesan tonight ??" Lol
Jesus Christ man!
Josh Steffen can we see you do a cover of this Josh?! 🤘🏼
Even Josh is amazed! 😂🤘🏼
we have to see you cover the new trivium album dude come on!
we meet again Josh
Can you play this Josh? :D
Alex Bent is the real fucken deal. He made that look effortless. Unbelievable
RaisedTalent12 cause it is for him
Origin Drum

Best comment yet.
hahahahahasHASDHA
Why did this actually make me laugh xD
That was majestic.
VΞGΛEidolon cannot disagree
Alex Bent, ladies and gentlemen! Remember that name because it is going to be written in the history of music!
Gosh you're one hell of a beast dude! You definitely are the right man for Trivium!
Mr. NoName 606 now if Matt doesn't find a reason to fire him, and say he was a "session's" musician. Or just fire him! Since Travis, they have yet to accept that THEY need to let the "new guy" stop being new, and be family!

Dr. Jimbo be fast on the dobble peddel like alex 🙏
My answer: play the battery like Alex
This is so damn awesome. You make it look effortless. 🤘
Awesome, dude!
It's so satisfying to watch him play
Trivium is a very lucky band
Outstanding! You deserve all the success that comes your way Alex.
Been a Trivium fan for a long while and I can't remember a time where they put the spotlight on the drummer as much as they have with you. Cheers for breathing new life into this kick ass band!
Every note calculated. Trivium is a great band, and Alex takes them to the next level. No wasted spaces, no filler, always tight! Really enjoying your patterns man
I swear if Trivium is all like "Oh we don't share the same ideas anymore, Alex had to be let go" bruh I'll lose my shet.
hello i came from the future and they keep alex for their newest album, and every single song, and i mean EVERY SINGLE SONG in What The Dead Men Say is so good that it's really hard to pick a favorite. they've found their ground again with Alex
Hello I'm also from the future too, they keep him and their making a new album
yooooo.......its the future again! The new album In The Court Of The Dragon SLAPS....... especially from a drummers perspective!
I come way ahead from the future and Alex has become part of the family ❤
I love you guys
Sick as always! Looking forward to see you play on the next EU run :)
So nonchalant ... "here let me slay this drum part like nothing. What's for lunch guys?"
Awesome.
I come back to this video all the time and honestly I haven’t seen a metal drummer wow me like this since I first heard Chris Adler. First heard him on Ashes of the wake, then Sacrament and got my mind blown. But Alex, to me is just that next level of drumming.
How are those snare-hits at 2:03 so clean, you don't even miss 1 beat! That's insane.
You're amazing Alex. Huge props.
I see something new every time I watch his playthroughs, this was another one...
That one foot bass drum at 3:40 is probably not human, and if it is, it's definitely not allowed.
That being said, I've loved Trivium for many years, and this album slays all. It combines the best elements of all the earlier albums, and tops it off with the drummer to end all drummers.
Watching this shit has me in disbelief over how casual Alex seems, and then I remember the videos from the studio where Alex says "yeah, no problem" to everything that is asked of him before recording it flawlessly on the first or second go.
Hats off to this man.
Haraldur Helgason holy shit I never noticed that was with one foot
Definitely not human
George Kollias style kkkkkkkk Alex have technical death metal in his blood...i love it, fits so well in Trivium
OMFG! You're the most intense and accurate drummer I have seen in a while. This comes from a drummer to a beast drummer.
Keep up the good work, you're amazing dude!
The thing I think I love most about this is look at the drum setup:
1. Not too crazy in terms of cymbals and drums. 2 BD, 1 SD, 2 Toms, and 1 FT. There are quite a few cymbals, but I've seen some drummers who use even more.
2. No cymbal is left neglected. Variety is amazing.
3. Everything is really open but not too far apart.
After seeing this I am inspired to know Alex gets this much technical complexity out of a tasteful build like this. So almost anyone with enough practice can play these songs. Such a legend.
It's great to see another amazing musician who can keep up with the rest of Trivium.
You are an absolute beast. I started listening to you guys about a month ago, maybe a little over, and I couldn’t believe the drumming, unreal. The Sin and Sentence album is insane.
I've probably watched this over 10 times now. Inspirational drumming to say the least.
My gawd...the technique...the expert use of all symbols...the constant change in tempo...the blasts...the double kick!! I'm stunned! He is definitely in my top 5 favorite drummers! And for Trivium itself...best metal band in the last 15 years...period! I love you guys!! Thank you so much for making metal awesome for me again and thank you guys for bringing back real art to the music you make!!
he's thanking us while we should be thankful for him for existing in this world, thanks for your massive skills you have man all respect to you thanks for being in Trivium
I keep COMING BACK to this drum play through video. blows me away every time bro! hope u could see this wish u well
2 dislikes?! LOL... Travis and Nick hahahaha!
Chris Laib Maybe Madiro and Wandtke hajajaj
Chris Lai
if someone were to dislike it it'd be paul since travis left on good terms. nice try at attempting to be funny though
there was no good terms with travis about his departure..
Man, Alex Bent was like a stone in the glove of Thanos, it fits perfectly and was meant to be. It's incredible how well his drumming allows entirely new level of songwriting for Trivium.
Damn! It’s really impressive how you can keep perfect time through those double time beats with the double kicks, upbeat snares, and rides accenting the guitar riffs.
Trivium has always had great drummers but Alex takes it to the next level, amazing skill! Hope he plays with Trivium for years to come
Beastmode
I love alex's charisma, humble dude, relaxed and AWESOME
I cant wait to see this GOD live
Fucking SAVAGE!! You saved Trivium! ESPECIALLY playing the old songs live. It sounds like Trivium again!! Not rushing the songs and keeping them tight. THANK YOU!
Congrats on everything dude! Play-through looks really good!
Thanks man, can't wait for the new Deeds of Flesh album
Alex bent is the new kind of metal drummer with a style that no one has ever heard before. He's taking stuff from the dawn of this s type of metal drums to a whole new level. He's fucking phenomenal!!! And!!! He barely breaks a sweat doing it
I'm straight awestruck. This makes me sad that illness caused me to have to give up my miniscule experience with drumming...I can however air drum my heart out to the new album. Hell yes!
Right when I thought we've all have seen the best drummers in the world. Here come's this guy, thank you for your dedication to let us know there is another level we can achieve.
Drummers like this is the reason i consider taking on drums
Hey man i saw a video of you playing live and had to check out your drumming on video. Your really good man respect
Trivium drum machine AlexB activated ! :)
OMFG What a performance 😱 You’re an absolute beast! 🫡🤯
Right man for Trivium!
You know you are a god when you got all these famous youtube channels amazed. Even Josh. Good job, this is amazing.
Me Bent you are diabolic. You record an álbum that no one will be able to play if you leave the band. Well played.
Man you're just so chill and humble!
The Tom/China work in the first verse made balls melt.
The dislikes show you that there are people you just can't help in this world. Aside from that... Damn dude. OVER 9000! You're amazing.
You are god of drums man.
Mr Alex Bent you’re the man. Keep slayin
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH triviums best drummer ever! could you cover pull harder? and maybe throes??
Alex, I love the way you use your splashes man! Just adds that extra little bit of spice to the top without going overboard and I can't think of anybody else that uses them as effectively as you do! Great work on these vids from an epic album!
First one!! Damn I'm loving your drum skills
You are 100% the best drummer Trivium could have wished for and needed!
We're Not Worthy! We're Not Worthy!
I was wishing to see Shannon Lucas as the next Drummer with TRIVIUM, but I'm now I'm glad to see a young and talented guy like you Alex, who is surely going to influence the progess of the Band.
1:58 - 2:08 he's going nuts with that fill-ins
Like everybody here, I really hope to see you behind Trivium's drum kit for years to come. You nailed it when performing the old tracks you played when I saw you live in Paris, France, last March and your drumming on The Sin and the Sentence really brings the record to a whole new level.

Keep up the amazing work, Alex, looking forward to seeing Trivium for the 8th time on your next European tour.
Thank you , I do appreciate that very much! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I like how he's looking like a noble snob.
Very easygoing playing right there.
This song may well be a masterpiece, no lie. I've been a fan of Trivium since Ember to Inferno and I honestly have no words for how absolutely "next level" this new album is. Alex I truly believe that you, my friend, are the key to that..Just phenomenal.
This is what happens when the neighbors DON'T complain about all that racket
that first 20 second drum intro was absolute godly technique. please stay in Trivium!
It would be more difficult to this guy to miss a beat than it would be to just play the entire song perfectly
What a beast of a drummer! This album is going to be so good!
Hate to be the drum nerd but is he using 21” z custom mega bell rides?
James Broady yes sir
Alex Bent cheers bud! Your drumming is on another level! Followed trivium since 2005, can’t wait for the new album.
They used to be Z customs but Zildjian phased them out and made them A's. Thanks man
Alex Bent see if you can find the original Z mega bell ride. Dude, your drumming is just mind blowing. I envy you, you're a year older than me and you get to drum with some of my teenage heroes. Kudos to you pal
Yup
Trivium's best drummer, ever!!!! I've followed for 22+ years., one of my favorite drummers. Mr. Alex Bent🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
those double kicks....and that speed...))) im still building my stamina. can I ask what angles your legs are? I find keeping my feet further back gets my speed up but cant go for long????

Thee most technically impressive drummer ive ever seen. Everything is just so clean. All your hard work has most certainly paid off man. Congratulations
Trivium were looking for a drummer, and got a Beast instead !
Makes it look so simple. Perfect drummer for Trivium. Adds a whole other dimension to the already awesome sound. Trivium 4 life!
Can't even see the park ya knocked it out of
This drum track in particular blows my mind every time i see it. so much skill.
0:22 Excuse me? WHAT?!?!
that took me more off guard than anything else
Worth the watch. I hope you stay with Trivium. Mr Bent, you are extremely talented.
3:13
I can never see what is happening.
Playing double rides
2 snare hits, 4 rides, 2 snare, 4 rides, 2 snare, 2 rides, repeat with double bass pedals throughout. Replace the final 2 snare and ride hits with a roll down the toms to end the bar.
@@maryjohnson5377 I still can´t see, but thank you!
Dear Trivium...this is your man! I can't see why you'd ever need nor want another drummer. Fucking killing it Alex!!!!
5:44 mins and there wasn't even one drumstick trick, thas the huge difference between a real drummer and a show off clawn
I WANT YOU TO STAY FOREVER IN TRIVIUM ! the "new" trivium with you on the drums is so much better than what they have done on Vengeance fall and silence in the snow ! I can't wait to see you live !
What?! No sheet music?
adam Most drummers in general don't use sheet music
What the fuck? Show me a drummer or any musician for that matter playing with sheet music.
Damn.. he makes everything look so easy.
Definitely my favourite drummer out of all Trivium has had.
Gatdayum
Thanks, Noob Noob!
This guy gets it
The HUMAN machine - Alex Bent !!!!!! Your timing is so spot on even on the fastest beats!!! I miss the old "Drum Off" days watching you play !!!
You are the Jesus, nobody fucks with the Jesus, nobody.
Dominic Sanchez Ya, I think the Romans and Jews would disagree with you there.
BurnThePope how would they know? They've never seen him? Haha
Dominic Sanchez this is Busch league psych out bullshit.. it's laughable.
Pretty sure you were referencing Big Lebowski there, although it was a little changed.
J Robes haha yep
8 year olds dude
I really friggin' hope Trivium keep you around, cause if they replace you, there is NO WAY they are getting someone who is better, more fierce or more talented, cheers brother.
Dear Alex,
Please inseminate my girlfriend. She needs your drumming seed of life.
I shall teach my spawn blast beats when he turns 3. I shall become a drum god vicariously through your seed.
Always been a Trivium fan, but I love them so much more with Alex, this dude is awesome.
WOW Bro

Hey Alex, as someone whos been a fan of trivium longer than I haven’t been, and seen them with every drummer they’ve ever had, you hands down nail the position. It’s a refreshing thing to see someone who’s got new ideas for them and play soo effortlessly. Keep up the good work man. Welcome to the family. Very stoked to hear your playing on this release.
you know this is probably the 30th time i watch this video and im not gonna get tired of this
i have watched this like 20 times already. i dont even play drums really. you are my favorite drummer now
I started listening to trivium again only because of the insane drumming. F*cking awesome! Alex your double kick has cost me 3 back windows from the bass hitting so hard through my subs.
You sir are now my favorite drummer, you make it look easy
One thing I love about Alex is none of his equipment is for show. A lot of drummers out there have these massive kits and maybe hit something like once during an entire show. Alex uses everything effectively and it really makes a difference.
