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?
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!
@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? :)
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.
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:)
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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!
sure you get this all the time, but you are a fucking rad drummer, loads of groove, but solid as a stone! keep it up man, a collab would be freakin' sweet, check my vids
sick as always dude! big fun of your drumming here! i've got a request for you. Make a feet-view next time please! :):):) you've got 2 cameras so? :D it would be very cool to check out your feets at close-up. I think that most of youtubers could agree with me in this case :) Cheers man! best wishes!
amazing dude. you prob only know about them but look up between the buried and me. the most amazing band ive ever heard. and there drummer is probably the best metal drummer alive today. (your a close second =)
yes. keep your hair short.
