  • yes. keep your hair short.

  • I love how you can play equally good with each side of your body. I am a right handed drummer so my left side is considerably weaker... any tips as to how i can fix that problem?

  • amazing job i just have one question how did you get your bass drum to sound like that

  • What pedals/beaters do you use?

  • @TimGarrenDrum

    Pearl Demon Drives with Pearl Quad Beaters. Hope this helps!

  • DUDE I LOVE HAUNTED SHORES!!! thanks for covering them! :D

  • haunted shores is probably one of the most unique bands i know of!

  • I come back to this just to hear the kick sound. :3

  • great drumming, keep up the good work. So Nasty!!!

  • Sick shit man. But do some more progressive bands. I'd love to see some Elitist or Circle of Contempt.

  • wow this robot drummer totally looks like a real man!

  • What level of tension do you have you pedals at?

  • The Singer sounds just like randy from lamb of god:P

  • @bl00ber99 I know right dude!!!!!!

  • @ 2:45.....HOW!?

  • u should try a song from Within The Ruins, or another TesseracT song :)

  • You play like Travis Orbin, and kind of have his set up. Sweet cover bro :)

  • dude im so glad i have another drummer to look up to man im gonna learn from your style and just try and progress even more because of your drumming!!!

  • dude i love your set up, ive never seen such a semetrical drummer before! Its like you lead with your left foot only whenever the camera panned to the front veiw or something, now thats some control!

  • man, awesome drumming! really nice kit too ^_^

  • I never get tired of watching sick drummers play! They do it so effortlessly!

  • What snare and snareheads do you use?

  • Awesome vid. Awesome set up

  • whats the sound module you are using?

  • Is this the actual drummer for the band? If not, wtf...

  • @Periphery yo misha have you ever noticed how all these special projects, whether haunted shores, periphery, chris, spencer, AAL, naene kopwereis, alex etc. are all coming out of the inner and outer borders of washington dc? some say seattle was the foundation of grudge, well i say the whole dc area is like the heaven for technical metal.

    oh and btw was mr elstein ever your teacher in whitman? :)

  • Wow! Really nice sounding recording and excellent skills.

  • amazing drumming! do you know whos doing vocals in this song?

  • i wish i had feet as fast as yours haha

  • The vocals sound like Randy Blythe, the cleans obviously not, but the growling definitely sounds like that older stuff from Lamb of God, back when they were Burn the Priest.

  • u remind me so much of blake richardson, alot like him

  • Hey man, what size is your snare? and what pedals do you play with? i absolutely love the sound you get from your snare, and i've been looking for pedals that move pretty quick. all ive heard of that are pretty good with speed are demon pedals, or speed demon pedals, idon't rememver. it'd be appreciated if you get back to me on this:)

  • @jojorage352 I think you mean demon drives. ^^

  • What size brand and type of china is that on your right?

  • Nice Meshuggah shirt!!

  • you shud get sponsored by TRX cymbals like travis orbin that would be cool

  • sick bro we waer the same shirt

  • Is it just me or does the vocalist for this band sound exactly like Randy Blythe? Awesome stuff though, keep groovin dude!

  • Thats pretty pro man. Great job!

  • MESHUGGAH SHIRT! i have the same one too! and awesome cover by the way considering the drums are programmed. way to go bro.

  • I like the sound of this kick sample compared to the previous one/s used. The other one just sounds like a dull-thud with a little bit of click in it, I think anyways.

  • What kind of drumming would you call this? Progressive style drumming?

  • dude first off, great performance, second what mics do you use! 3rd how do you tune/ what do you put in your bass drum. is the head tight? loose? what are your pedal settings. I normally play on 2 bass drums but i want to make everything a lot more simple by using 1 bass drum, im just having trouble adjusting!, please help me man! love your videos, can't wait to make my own!

  • I'm starting to wonder if there's anything metal-related that Alex CAN'T play...

  • that proggy blast starting at 2:39 sounds killer

  • setup reminds me of travis orbin's. Great work btw

  • A new wave of drumming is being pioneered by these guys as we speak

    Bow down at the mercy of their talents!

  • holy shit, travis has trained you Very well, truelly awesome dude...

  • great fuckin job!!

  • You should join Friend For A Foe instead of that other d00d. :/

  • Are you one-footing those blast beats?!

  • You're drumming is just fucking amazing man, speachless

  • bassdrumtrigger

  • The vocalist sounds like the vocalist for Lamb of God.

  • Thanks for posting the Haunted Shores videos, Alex! I wouldn't have even heard of them without these videos and now I absolutely love Haunted Shores now.

  • the vocals in the intro sounds like randy blythe from lamb of god

  • Good lord. That was incredible. I didn't even notice you weren't the guy that wrote the parts until I read the description afterwards. Amazingly tight, and the technique is absurd. Keep it up, no matter where you go with it.

  • 0:47-0:56 I've NEVER seen a drummer do that so clearly and making it look so effortless. How do you manage to do the double kicks with minimal movement? And what's the tension like on your pedals?

  • perfect man. nice work!

  • definitely the best kick sample yet, amazing playing!

  • @XDMikeyThePikeyXD Without a doubt! The sample kicks ass. Use it more often Alex!

  • dude im in love with your bass drum technique, your one hell of a drummer

  • Dude you are really fucking good! Do you have a band?

  • quality mate. big thumbs up.

  • can you like send me some sort of link to a sheet of different excercises you use for your feet?

  • Fucking amazing

    Just fucking amazing

  • Thanks very much!

  • @mdterps1042 hey so based off your name are u from maryland

  • @goofball924

    I am indeed!

  • @mdterps1042 Oh sick are u going to be at rams head next week for periphery love to meet u in person

  • @mdterps1042 MARYLAND!! HELL YEAH! what part?

  • @mdterps1042 Shit I need to see you play then. Where in Maryland are you from?

  • @mdterps1042 So I see that your set up is similar to Travis Orbins'. Did you make it that way purposefully based on his?

  • HS is absolutely ridiculous. Good luck with the position. That's be totally sick to see them get such a talented drummer to round off their already ridiculously talented group.

  • fuckk yeahh! good luck with your audition!

  • Comment removed

  • dude you are the shit!!!

  • Great work as always man. I love watching your vids dude, you're a gifted mf

  • damn dude you are an amazing drummer..

  • nice meshuggah shirt, i have the same one

  • Sweet man, and thanks! I'm a big fan

  • @brendanvdrums So does a friend of mine :P

  • Ah this is so good, i would dearly love to see you cover something of Planetary Duality, Lyle Cooper is someone who you remind me of, awesome.

  • Definitely my favorite of your videos so far. Sounds like your style is really starting to come through. Keep it up, man.

  • new drum module?

  • Just a new kick sample. I've been using a Ddrum 4 SE for awhile now but I'm still experimenting with different sounds and settings.

    Do you prefer this kick sample to the previous ones?

  • @mdterps1042

    I do :D this one is less clickier and has more punch in my opinion. Really really enjoyed this one :)

  • @mdterps1042

    Didn't notice that! But i guess it gives a more "natural" sound to it! I LOVE IT!

  • @mdterps1042 I prefer this one defanetely. It cuts through more. And it's clicky that's wat trigger's are spose to sound like. :)

  • Man ur gonna go far ur the best drummer of this genre I've ever seen IMO! and my fav by far!

  • Thank you everyone else for the kind words!

  • @mdterps1042 the kick sound sick man. where do you get your samples from?

  • wow dude! amazing job, you did the programmed parts perfectly!! matt and i are watching, and dude i remember watching you the first time and thinking you were a good drummer, and i have watched you become this ridiculous machine of a drummer. dude you just need to keep it up and keep your head level and you will be unstoppable!

  • Hey man thanks so much! It means a lot coming from the guy who wrote the parts, I'm really glad you guys dig it!

    Looking forward to hearing the album by the way, I'm sure it's going to be sick!

  • @Periphery Words to live by.

  • @Periphery He already is...

  • By the way I really hope you become the drummer for Haunted Shores!!!

  • Thank you kindly! I'm not sure if the MP3 is free to download currently or not, but it is available for streaming on the Haunted Shores Myspace.

  • Where can I find the mp3 for this?

  • Wow the singer sounded like Randy Blythe

  • i was just thinking the same thing. good call!

I think that most of youtubers could agree with me in this case :) Cheers man! best wishes!

  • I have that shirt! AWESOME!

  • Nailed it like Jesus!

  • Dude you should cover some Animosity, like The Black Page, Terrorstorm, or Toothgrinder.
