  • hey alex fantastic drumming i love all ur vids very very impressive i just have a question do u do all the recording stuff for ur videos? or do u have someone who does it for u because i want to start recording too but i dont know wut things to buy or how to use any of it and i wanted to know if its difficult to understand the software and things like that. thnx in advance

  • So do you notice a huge difference on using different pedals or is it mostly the tension? Also, what sort of practice did you/do you use for getting your feet that fast? Like rudiments applied to feet or just practice with a met?

  • great job man! and great sound! really nice how you make your videos! and i like the two techniques you use for blasting, one for right hand and one for the left one.

    a little curiosity, what program you use for video editing?

    thanks man!

  • rediculously awesome

  • Ordinance is great man! But I really hate the clean vocal parts !

  • The short hair looks good mate!

  • How long have you been playing!? I play for a band called Branded A Traitor, where I can write hard parts in the drums and most of it is quite technical, I can not acquire the level of complexity that you write for these tracks, so I have to ask how long have you been playing and any tips for adding to tracks? thanks, hope you reply =D

  • You redefine drumming. Holy cow. Can I please meet you and jam with you?

  • So ambidextrous, hands and feet so equally matched to one another . Fuckin Brilliant !!

  • You are one of my favourite drummers of all time :o So talented and creative drumming. You inspire me

  • Holy god. I think you just made me a fan of your band. This drum part is super creative and impressive at the same time, haha. The chorus part specifically. Keep up the awesome work!

  • the part at 1:20 sounds (the drums) like the break down in Resistance by Veil of Maya!?

  • @xam154

    I'm not familiar with that song, but I have seen Sam play a few times. Great drummer and very nice guy!

  • @mdterps1042 you should check it out then cause its a fantastic song! reminds me of metroid for some reason.

  • @mdterps1042 Yeah he is a nice guy. Hey dude, my bands new track is hell of inspired by you and travis orbin on drums. Im going to do a studio play along like yourself ; but till then whats your email if you wanna hear my bands track and ill send it to your. Im rocking Saluda custom cymbals, very similar configs in sizing to yours like having 13' and 14' hi hats to compliment intricacies of certain riffs and having the right side of the it mirror the left. I built my kit after yours and orbins.

  • wow this is amazing

  • hello i have a question the sound of the bass drum is from a drum module or is a drum sample

  • @slaughterfair

    Hey man, the kick sound is a few different samples combined to make one and then put on my drum module. Hope this helps!

  • @mdterps1042 wth how u do that any tutorial o tip u can send me an inbox if u want

  • Hell yes!

  • can i have your right foot please \m/

  • Comment removed

  • das ist krank

  • Holy fucking shitfuck. This guy is a god.

  • So wait this song hasnt been released on an album yet? Dude 30 seconds in i was searching for this bands discography...love the guitar its got a faceless influnce from what i can hear...and the drumming holy fuck dont get me started...

    Ill watch every single video you post man along with your bands songs...keep it up!!

  • Alex, you mentioned that you are gonna be using an SPD-s. WHat for? Because I haven't really found a good use for mine outside of triggering silly Homer SImpson samples and playing beats over them.

  • do you mix these songs yourself? every drum and cymbal sounds outstanding.

  • death to the first bastard who clicks the dislike button.

  • Hey, Alex, sincerely, is there something you CAN"T play? :)

  • what kind of snare are you using in this video?

  • Did anyone else notice that that guy's on Facebook the entire time on his laptop when Alex is playing 6 feet away from him? How can anyone have such an unimpressed reaction? I have now concluded that the person sitting there is in fact Travis Orbin himself.

  • Comment removed

  • @7angelofdrums7 did you notice that the page never changed? clearly the guy was watching lol no one could sit there while something like that was going on infront of them

  • @7angelofdrums7 Maybe he heard it so many times that he just got used to having demigods in the same room.

  • Comment removed

  • @7angelofdrums7 Haha! Has to be him, he's probably yelling at Alex the whole time like a coach: "Faster goddammit! Use your fucking left foot too! Keep your focus, c'mon!" :D

  • @7angelofdrums7 I believe that that person is Greg Macklin.

  • It is inspiring to watch your video.I can see myself embracing the 'metals' in me.Thanks for the inspiration @mdterps1042.

  • BEST DRUMMER OUT THERE.. i love your style keep it up 

  • Do you get your Meinl Cymbals for free?

  • alex is the best drummer out there in my opinion, first heard and saw him play when i went to see Threat Signal at the Barfly in London UK and have continued to be amazed by his skill. Bought this album as soon as i heard it was out, its pretty fuckin sweet.

    Keep up the good work dude, looking forward to seeing what you bring to the next albums for TS and ordnance!

  • @Bashford1985

    Hey man thanks a lot for the kind words! Glad to hear that you caught the Barfly show, it was one of my favorites on the tour. Killer venue, audience, and it was my birthday. I appreciate the support and your interest in my bands!

    @AndWeJustGoMoo

    Thanks a lot man. 'V' is the only track on the record that I wrote all instruments for. I'm glad you dig it and thanks for picking it up!

  • Mean! Just bought Internal Monologues off Amazon. Fuck, so low and fat and filthy it's destroying my headphones but that is alway a welcome sign. Love the track "V". Drums sound super crisp. Well done lads.

  • Comment removed

  • Any possibility of a Pearl endorsement in the works yet?

    Hell they'd be nuts not to pick you up!

  • Hey man, you should totally put a camera right infront of you. I think that would be cool!

  • @mdterps1042

    @rythmnkeeper009 the brand name is ADK, but they use a dodgy font,

  • @MildlyMoist

    You're probably correct. I just know they're pretty cheap, haha

  • @mdterps1042 wasn't trying to be a cocky ass :) just informing the guy that was asking about em

  • hey dude! u r a freakin awesome drummer! i envy u alot! lol. i wuz wonderin if u use triggers on ur kick drum & if u always play with ur back slanted like that. thats not very good 4 ur back. lol

  • @psychometaldrummer

    My right Hi-Hats are Byzance Traditional Medium Hats. The Byzance series is great and I'll definitely be trying more in the future!

    @Everyone!

    Thanks a lot for the kind words! I'm very glad you all dig it!

  • Hey dude. What mic's are you rocking for overheads?

  • @rhythmkeeper009

    The main overheads are Shure PG81's. The Hi-Hats are some cheap mics that I got as a pair on ebay - FDK SC-1's. I'd never heard of them until I bought them, but they get the job done.

    @betterthandirt

    I've been using a Ddrum4 SE module for awhile now. I recently picked up a Roland SPD-S which I'll probably be using live from now on. Both work great!

  • beautiful

  • Effortless. Great drumming.

  • Now when you have watched this, go listen to "The Discovery" by Cloudkicker.

  • @Hheawy because? They don't sound similar if that's what you are going for

  • @ctmetalblast I'm well aware of that. I was just pointing out a good song with similar name, because I thought... you know, "Fear Of Discovery" and "The Discovery"... uh, nevermind

  • @Hheawy lol...i understand...i haven't heard much of cloudkicker, but I do like the shit ive heard so far

  • @Hheawy good man

  • @Hheawy uh, why?

  • very good metal drummer!

  • 0:41 is so epic

  • Hey Alex,

    I was wondering what you're using to trigger the kick now. You were using a Alesis module, but I noticed it's gone and your kick sound is slightly different.

    Thanks,

    Aaron

  • I see facebook on the MacBook back there.

  • nice! :)

  • " Drum of Discovery "

  • Alex, every time I see your new videos, it makes me want to stop drumming. You're 25 years my junior and I'll never catch up to your level. Amazing stuff. Glad you're sharing with us all.

  • best song on the album!!

  • maan !! the part from 3:40 untin the end is beast!!!

    fucking sick man !

  • tom sound is like chocolate, awesome!

  • And forgot to say big grats on being Threat Signal's drummer, no offense, they could really use a more skilled one in general. You deserve to big in big bands, super talented man. Respect, keep it GREAT!

  • I don't know how much after editing your guys do, but from what I hear you're execution is so good, I'm extremely impressed. I think most other people at least make it sloppy here and there. Su-freaking-perb.

  • god damn the symphonic component made this sooo epic! <3

  • I'm curious, why no Byzance cymbals?

  • he has 13" byzance hats on the right if i recall corectly...... he probably just prefers the sound of the other ones better?

  • 1:03 Empires Erased?? (Born of Osiris) lol

  • @DeFFicationISgolD hahaha very similar tone

  • @adioskaterdude999 yes indeed =]

  • I don't know what it is about clean vocals that make metalheads cringe, but I think they sound awesome here. probably favorite orginance song so far. great job alex!

  • @taabrams67 i like metal and i love clean vocals too, it really all depends on the type and how well they can actually sing but yea this does sound cool

  • THIS IS FUCKING INSANE.

  • Someone was on Facebook! Great video, as always. Great playing. Seriously, you and Travis Orbin should do a duet or something. Cleanest drummers in metal, yes...

  • Just Amazing, Very Creative, minus the singing, but no offense to the vocalist, whether you are doing for a marketing angle or whatever, i just think excellent metal should not be ruined by a singer....Again though instrumentally Sick...

  • @XxxxxLAMBOFGODxxxxX im afraid 'ruined' in this case is an opinion, not fact.

    I, for one, think the vox (screaming and clean) kick ass

    as for the drumming Alex, there isnt much i could say that hasnt already been said. phenomal!! im envious of your skill

  • I LOVE YOUR DRUMMING BUT YOUR NECK OR BACK DOES NOT HURT

  • Am I able to get a hard copy anywhere in England? Also what foot exercises do you do to achieve that kind of speed? Phenomenal drumming dude.

  • Epic! As always... ;) Keep up the great work and inspiring us drummers

  • Good shit ;D

  • dude your 2 low toms have a ton of reverb haha epic. I wish my kit sounded half as good as this

  • Your quick double bass bursts are absolutely fantastic. Good work!

  • No.holy China lol jkjk

  • holy shit!
