Despised Icon - Fractured hands Alexgrind

[elvalexD]

imagine alex grind on cocaine, WAR DESTRUCTION DRUMS MODE ACTIVATED

[doublebassrox]

I would LOVE to have him as my neighbor..

[40licks397]

ive said it before and ill say it again best drummer on the planet he also looks like wolverine in some pictures

[drummerKrullebol]

THE EPIC DRUMMINGZ FACE @ 2:43

But what catches my attention more, is that Alex isn't happy (considering the last seconds of this video) with how he just played those supercreative, überoriginal drums of this superb song.

wrong or right played, this rocks. Thnx for sharing Alex! You put a smile on my, and many other, faces!

[TheHowToGuy97]

David Gonzalez would beat this kids ass at drumming

[MattBeardyKH202]

@TheHowToGuy97 Probably...

This "KID" still has alot of time before him, and he's already at a good enough skill to be compared to David Gonzalez, so he's going to surpass him soon..

[TheHowToGuy97]

@MattBeardyKH202 No David can do DOUBLE bass 370 bpm. Good luck. Listen to HERE COMES THE KRAKEN - THE LEGEND OF RENT WAS WAY HARDCORE

[MattBeardyKH202]

@TheHowToGuy97 That's not double bass..that's triple?

[daj19972]

@MattBeardyKH202 not even its just a machine

[hotahota86]

@TheHowToGuy97 not even george koillas can do that.

no one can you idiot

[omjnrg111]

@TheHowToGuy97

here comes the kraken has a good drummer but they dont go as fast has him and they dont his much symbals or the other things ahaha but i love both

[Xg0atxc0reX]

2:56 MONSTER FILL

[Addpyn09]

310 to 319 is the best love the blasts with rolls I'n it

[BryceButler2]

I read the title too fast and thought that he was gonna play the song with a fractured hand. I thought, "I've got to see this!" I was a little disappointed, but then I watched the video and I came. So it all evened out in the end.

[MALSIV]

This guy's cover sucks man!

[Sogwyn93]

@MALSIV

xD

This is no cover this is the orginal drummer of Despised Icon xD

[MALSIV]

@Sogwyn93 I was joking -.-

[S1cTro0p3r]

@MALSIV Jokes are supposed to be funny!

[rbnoobje]

he aint alex grind ffs.

he's a fake sucker.

[0DANHALEN0]

@rbnoobje Are you fucking retarded? This is Alexandre Pelletier The ex drummer for Despised Icon. Do some fucking homework dipshit.

[rockshox911]

he looks like dave england from jackass.

[lexaniji]

Awesome and hes fcking raping his drums ;D btw: Would he breath during drumming? I guess he doesnt have time to do that :P

[doublebassrox]

what kinda china does he have

[Galactis]

lol At the end he's like *Shrug* "I guess that was alright..." lol Keep the music alive, Alex! Just because Despised Icon is no longer, doesn't mean you you have stay behind in the shadows! Too much talent for it to goto waste.

[infamousforareason]

thumbs up for 1 handed cymbal roll

[MattTuck0112]

no fractured hands here =|

[urawinnerxx]

At 2:55 it looks like the video is accelerated haha. He's totally crazy man !

[osiolom26]

alex grind - RESPECT

[sanntiimusic]

1:20 IM HAPPY! :D:D:D:D

[dannyss29]

i love his cymbal stands!

[chain5aw1]

amazing

[DiFFiCuLTKeNNY]

i could play that fast too, if i had those muscles. looks like imma have to do some serious jerkin off.

[whoshotya117]

Sucks that they're splitting up =\

[RyannnW]

@whoshotya117 serious!

[whoshotya117]

@RyannnW yep =\

[sk8erboy182]

he is fast and good, but his grip is freaking terrible

[Sagellz]

@sk8erboy182 Do explain.

[whoshotya117]

@sk8erboy182 wth are you talking about. His grip is just fine.

[Slayr122]

@sk8erboy182 Honestly, why does grip even matter if he can play? Every drummer has their own way of holding their sticks, and they make it work.

[AjaxpuffNstuff]

@Slayr122 dumbass people grab there sticks like that because its like having a tight spring on your bass drum, the recoil from the stick bounces up faster

[securitysystem]

You're totally right an I have to say, I'm really wondering how he can be so fast with this grip - I try to get fast using ony the fingers and leaving hand and arm still. As to Alex, all of the speed comes out of hand and arm what is - technically spoken - the wrong way, but, hey, everything that works out well in the end is good, right?

[ComputerDownloads]

Whoa, You Hold Your Sticks Upside Down Too. I Don't Feel Alone :)

[holyhell937]

how did you build up your muscles in your hands to play that fast dude? it's just mind blowing...

[officerpoopnard]

this is my favorite song by these guys and it's not even the craziest. just sounds the best (imo)

[ericwperry]

he probley cracks his stick off alot? haha

[gabegabegabe1]

flawless rolls

[XweedgodX]

T'ES UNE BRUTE ALEX

[bluesmurf1908]

The point of the backwards sicks are? I can never figure it out

[HeavenFort]

@bluesmurf1908

a bigger sound? or maybe he gets better grip on the small part of the sticks.

but in that video, he uses sticks mostly used in marching bands

[bluesmurf1908]

Im thinking maybe bigger sicks for training

[HeavenFort]

@bluesmurf1908

he uses those live also. and while recording.

[bluesmurf1908]

Ic, who knows hahahah hes a uber badass though.

[icydeath2020]

This is old as dick, and those people saying "nice cover dude!" this is the actual drummer. Alex. Of despised icon.

[burnsometrashcans]

one of my favorite songs not only by despised icon but overall.

[XTENHEADX]

alex dude cant wait to se u april in the u.k

[mitchranalli]

[IdLexKiD]

THIS IS NO MAN

THIS IS A MACHINE

[Voisko666]

pelletier est formidable)

[Azmo1991]

i noticed alotta drummers dont wear t-shirts lol, must be a reason :L

[adrenalynejunky]

i think its cause that pretty hard physicly to play like that and they just sweating alot lol

[qtipbenoit]

gets hot.

[Z0MGMaTT]

It's hard fucking work. ;)

[Capero95]

@Azmo1991 it becomes very sweaty when you play ;)

[666micks666maggot666]

Its to keep cool and for easier arm movement. But some people think their badass because of it, obviously not the case here hes just badass the way he is.

[JaysunLeigh]

Get a fucking clue.

Try playing drums for more then ten minutes and tell me you still want to wear a shirt.

[goatcheese514]

It seems like your crashes would be uncomfortable that high. I guess you know best. Awesome timing, skill, sound, groove, and inspiration. I love your drumming. Keep it up.

[doublebassrox]

hahah itchy

[ShaxDr87]

This is the real drummer of the band Despised Icon you moron.

[CarloDRM]

[IdLexKiD]

[ChrisIsGnar18]

[mrmurder1510]

you're the man, alex

[aboRted6666]

I´ve just recognize that you play all most everything exectly like the studio version!

You know,the drum rolls and the Cymbals work.

And i think that is fucking great!!!!

The most drumer just play the snare like the studio version and improvise at the rolls and Cymbals...i don´t like that...

So keep it up,very good work!!

GRIND!

[jerma7x]

well of course he'll know how to play the songs he wrote correctly.

[kanyeeast99]

[Calebr13]

[LOLimslim]

3:07 is like my favorite thing in any song ever. Like the short fast rolls on the snare, the long held breeee and the sweep picking on guitar, sounds fucking sweet!

[h00k3d0nkr0niks]

[jacobdb83]

[Basicxproductions]

1:10 - 1:15 Sickest thing ive ever heard in my life

[AtomicTy1]

What are you using to get the nice click you have on your bass drum? I've tried those metal pads and they destroyed my hammers. Some of the plastic ones sounds decent but I really like the sound of yours.

[wagz0216]

he's using a trigger. they are cheap usually. u can get a good one for like 60 bucks. then all u need a is a drum module. id check out the alesis d4 on ebay. i got mine for just over 100!

[randomlettrz]

the ones he uses on the records are rally nice =] theyre not blurry or sound to clicky

[kurtisxcore17]

He's using triggers to obtain that sound.

[edmega332]

He looks like a praying mantis when he plays.

My favorite song on the album.

[REMIisBACK]

You're Really Good. You Got It Almost Perfectly.. But You Look So Straight.. Relax.. Play Smoother a Lil.. But It Sounds Really Good.

[camalus666]

but thats alexis pelletier the actual drummer for despized icon

[randomlettrz]

lol i like how no one knows about d.i. lol and they call him "grind" like a nick name hah i saw them live 3 times=P

[Ryanmiceter]

I know he isnt but it looks like it.

[Ryanmiceter]

No joke it looks like you're going in fast motion.

[OdeToTheAntman]

he's definitely not

[ez45]

[Samtheheretic666]

[Samtheheretic666]
