Amazing track alex! i was wondering if you could help me out by telling me what exercises you do for practise on the double bass, for the grooviness and the speed.
Yo Alex, this is the most amazing song ever.. i'm learning this song myself and i have to say you really have skills. Btw do you have double pedals or basses? And what pedals are you using?
Amazing playing Alex, you've probably noticed that I'm a huge fan of your videos because I always comment on them hahaha, I have a question. Do you think you could be able to play these types of drum parts with regular chain drive pedals? Does the direct drive system really contribute to your playing and accuracy?
@ShittyMcPoopyBalls Well if you've ever used a direct drive, it takes practically no force to move the pedals. It is so smooth dude. I'm no Alex, but I'm sure it can make a difference in the long run. But you have to keep in mind that he's probably been playing for years.
fallen disciples was one of my favorite videos of you so far because of your drums and VOCALS. These vocals don't take away from your drums AT ALL! they actually compliment them very well.(BIG UPS TO THE VOCALIST. please add the vocals to the rest of this sessions videos =)
Great work dude!!! It's rare to see drummers who are perfectionist. I wanna see Travis Orbin try his limbs on this tune! Yea...that's right I said it.
Incredible as always. You are already super amazing and will only get better.
Just a quick question. You said you wrote this in guitar pro while you guys were in the van. After initially composing this tune could you not play it and had to practice to actually be able to perform it? If so about how long did it take you to learn to play this, and did you maybe start at a slower bpm and work your way up?
I never thought you relied on it, just all your videos sound flawless. I was watching your vids before I made an account, so I'm not hating on anything
Hey alex thank you for uploading these videos! And YES please continue uploading the instrumental version of the songs! :)
It helps to focus more on you're awesome drumming and also is very interessting to hear the songs without vocals! (and maybe even less of an copyright problem -dunno...) Greetz!!
Slammin as always Alex, I'm a guitarist so i rarely get hooked on drumming vids but I always check yours out the second i know its up! In regards to the vocal/no vocal issue, i think your vids would be better as an instrumental only so that we can hear, as you said, things clearer. Also a bit off topic but I'm really, really, REALLY looking forward to a new Ordinance album! Keep up the mad skills dude!
No, not everything I upload is quantized. Like I stated, this was an official release - like rezOnanceUK said, these days it's pretty common. I'm not really for or against it, it just is what it is. That's what the producer wanted so that's what was done. In no way do I rely on it.
@klick2destruct Because it sounds perfect, too perfect (for a human anyway). FYI 99.9% of drums are quantised in the metal recording industry. The drums for the album are most likely going to be quantised. I was wondering if this cover was also quantised since it sounds like it could be the studio version of the song.
@rezOnanceUK yeah but you see him do it, and i never heard of a method to quantise a video ;D it is easier to drum to a track than in studio when there is no drum track to hear.
@klick2destruct I'm not talking about quantising the video. He could easily hit each drum in time, quantising doesn't add beats, it just makes it more tidy. I'm 99% sure this is quantised. I'm sure he's a very tight drummer, but no human can replicate a robot.
I'm going to agree. If you're going to post videos of the drums, I feel that the instrumental versions would be the most appropriate. Although I'm sure everybody would still YouTube the actual songs to hear the killer vocals!
As much as I like the vocals, I think you should post the instrumentals because I have already heard the vocal versions thousands of times. Great job yet again.
Hey man, thanks very much! I didn't have a third camera when I went to track in Massachusetts, so no foot cam. Perhaps I will make an instructional/demonstration video eventually for this tune regarding the kick stuff. We'll see!
Hey Alex, great song as usual! Am very enthusiastic about the new album! And also can't wait to get it. Love the single snare hit there, hehe. In regard to your question: I'd vote for instrumental versions. Hope that helps.
fuck yea Alex. your blast beats are so beautiful. loving the bass rhythm you have around the 1:15 mark, goes so well with the riff being played by Chris and Travis.
I just have to love your style. You make it all look so easy. ...wish I could play like that. And yea, that 1:13 really did the trick, I had to watch that part again right away!
When you blast, are you intentionally hitting slightly off the center of the snare for a less overpowering sound, or does that just happen by mistake?
that was awsome!!!! is it too much to ask if could you upload 2 versions, one with vocals and one without vocals? just to hear the differnce between them?
your a machine!!! your drumming is so sick. i look forward to watching your vids more any other channel im subscribed too. big thanks for putting these up.
