  • whats that stick trick he is doing for the break down??

    i want to learn it but there are no videos anywhere!

  • 3:46 i think he forgets whst part his at

  • Hes a great drummer. The only thing i suggest is that he should change up the chorous beat, its always da da pa da da da pa da da da pa etc. Its kind of annoying :/

  • we think he is good because he puts on a show thats why. maybe he cant do stick tricks and crazy fills like adam gray. but hes good. he looks like hes having a good time. and hes entertaining. period. so shut up and enjoy the music

  • Whoopin his rides ass for 5 minutes.

  • Melhor banda de Post-hardcore!!!!!!!!!

  • Alex always played too fast live -___-

  • what a freaking monster, god this dude is a specimen of all drummers.

  • marry me ? (: i love this .

  • He us an absolute unit on the drums

  • Damn. What a cliffhanger at the end...

  • Wow, and he goes off tempo? Lol. He is a horrible drummer. But that's okay, Because A day to remember is a horrible band.

  • @ChadMaltoMusic Why even bother commenting?

  • @NICKHAM16 Because I have the right too as an America citizen, Even though most of our rights are taken away.

    Freedom of speech is still there. c:

  • @ChadMaltoMusic Dude hes a great drummer. All drummers get off beat at times, it happens. The way he improvises his music and adds different fills makes him unique and sound freaking awesome. You dont know shit buddy.

  • @MrDrummerboy4life Never said drummers don't get off. However, If you're going to be a professional drummer, you have to be consistent. Everytime I have seen them play he falls off. I find nothing special about him. When he learns a new time signiture then 4/4. He'll be considered decent. I've played drums for years, and although I may not be the best, I know what I'm talking about. Nothing about him or ADTR for that matter is unqiue.

  • @ChadMaltoMusic

    Bands like this play in 4/4 for the audience. It's much better when a band plays in 4/4 because you can dance and jump around much easier rather than if the band plays in say, 7/8

  • @keithpwns False. And even if that's so, I've lost even respect for them because by the logic you just told me, They only write music for the audience.

  • @ChadMaltoMusic

    It's not just for the audience, it's fun for everyone involved, because it's much easier to keep time and jam to a simple time signature. It's really annoying to have to focus on difficult time signatures when you're listening and playing music. This is coming from a person who has been in progressive mathcore bands to pop punk bands.

  • @keithpwns And trust me, I know where you're coming from. I've been in a ton of different genres myself. However, I know that for most drummers 4/4 gets old really fast. I'm in a pop punk band now and still work in 5/4, 3/4, 11/8. 4/4 get's old, and like said, He could right better stuff in 4/4 also. He is a simple drummer.

  • @ChadMaltoMusic

    I agree man. But playing in a simple time sig doesn't mean you're a bad drummer.

  • @keithpwns And I'm not trying to be a dick, Because your comment does make sense. However, I have played music live for years and years, and everytime I get a compliment it's because of my time signitures. Especially 11/8. I have also heard Alex solo and it's all 4/4. Which made it sound plain and awful. And even though it is all 4/4 he can still write better drums.

  • @MrDrummerboy4life The main thing for a drummer in a live performance is to keep everyone in time. All I saw and heard in this video was him rushing off and leaving the rest of the band behind.

  • He is so basic. Why do so many people think he is good?

  • @ChadMaltoMusic Dude.

    You drum to Paramore and A Skylit Drive. You call Alex basic? Rofl, get the fuck out.

  • @LifeSentencer You are fucking retarded. I would like to see Alex play half of what Zac, or even Cory for that matter, plays. Zac is able to play three different time signitures back to back in a tasteful manner, in one song. He is also able to play fills that go along with songs, and come up with unique beats. Not to mention he can STAY ON TIME. You know NOTHING about drumming and anyone who thinks Alex is good knows nothing about drumming or music.

  • @ChadMaltoMusic Lol, I know nothing about music? Don't throw words like time signatures at me to try and prove yourself right. Check out Periphery. Try covering one of their songs. I dare you. Stick to your Paramore. :P Till' then, I'll defend Alex in this heated battle of faggotry.

  • @LifeSentencer You're kidding me? What do you think music is made up of? Bahaha. You aren't even worth my time with your ignorance. Naming other horrible bands doesn't make you right. If you knew anything about drumming you would know that Zac Farro, The ex drummer from Paramore, is the most complicated, and intricate drummers of our time (aside from Matt Greiner, Adam Grey, etc.)

  • @ChadMaltoMusic Sigh, you're ignorant if you think the band sucks without even checking them out. If I'm not worth your time, why are you replying? Clearly I broke your heart or something. Check out AdventureDrums "I am Paramores new drummer", he pretty much shits all over Zac Farro. trollololol. you just keep on trolling sir. xD Don't compare Zac Farro to Matt Greiner or Adam Gray, please. They're far more mature and complex. Learn what you're talking about before you comment.

  • @LifeSentencer Heard the band, and I am subscribed to Adventure Times. He is making fun of every kid that trys to audition. And it's funny because he played just about every song in that video the exact same. And I didn't compare them at all. I said 'Aside from.' I know what I'm talking about, I've been fans of August Burns Red and Texas In July since before they were even out of Lancaster, and I've met them.

  • @LifeSentencer You know what's funny though. You have yet to argue with me that any of the drummer named get off time. Alex does, and you can not argue with that because he does in this video as well as a few songs they've recorded.

  • @ChadMaltoMusic no hes not dude im 14 and can anything he can better!!!

  • @TheRevsSon6661 lolwut?

  • @ChadMaltoMusic lol if you seen him NOW (this video is from 2009) he fucking improved and don't bag on his ass dude he joined ADTR when he was 15 and he also is self taught. and every drummer gets of time. but he might get off time because he might not be able to hear the band or himself and you want a good under rated drummer that shits on most drummers? rob bourdon from linkin park. the dude is highly under rated.

  • @04GUITARPLAYER04 Yeah dude, Rob is really sick. I'm not too much a fan of linkin park itself, But Rob is a super good drummer. I give him mad respect. And I understand that every drummer gets off, But I've seen ADTR a few times and every time he gets off. That's why I don't respect Alex, or think he is any good.

  • Wasn't he playing w/Zildjian?

  • @jggrskate94 dude this was recorded in 09........it says in the title......smh......

  • Comment removed

  • Too bad he sold out to Zildjian..

  • @tbdrummer2 since when he was with meinl for so long?!

  • @snerl69 He's been with Zildjian for about a year I'd say.. I'm not sure tho.

  • He prob plays faster to pump up the crowd? IDK. I would.

  • Alex Shelnutt is my fav drummer but he does play a lot faster live. He's self taught so that's prob why but I don't care he's still a really good drummer. I love ADTR they are the best haha

  • @cr6333 you always play faster live then what you record at in the studio.

  • I prefer this guy over Travis Barker

  • Can someone tell me what sample pad that is?

  • i still cant believe he was 15 years old when he joined the band .. wow amazing ..

  • what ride is that??

  • Every video I see of him he plays the songs wayy too fast, he's solid but can't stay on tempo live. Should play to a metronome:/

  • @kaseyyydrums its probably because he is a self taught drummer i mean look he joined ADTR at 15 :P

  • @04GUITARPLAYER04 Yeah i'm not saying he's bad, he's solid as fuck and writes what fits the song.. I just wish he played to a metronome livexD I've seen some where he's playing like almost double speed and I was like wtf:P

  • does he not play with a live click??? what?!

  • @0:28 he hits the cymbal so awesomely he made it smoke! 

  • He doesn't play meinl. He plays Zildjian!!!

  • @Drumerboy21A used to play meinl

  • he doesn't even use meinl cymbals any more but this is awesome!!

  • hey right at like 1:54 or 1:55 he hits the thing next to him. what does that do? bass drop maybe?

  • @thompson9451 yeah those are for the bass drops and probably for some other effects too. most bands these days just put those on backing tracks tho

  • @mikeskate995 thanks man! i was wondering what the do. i had seen so many drummers using them

  • look at that golden eagle fly!!!!!!

  • @xand134 Roland SPD-S

  • I feel bad for his ride cymbal...

  • @thischick0418 i feel bad for his sticks...look at all them rim knocks

  • o cara não é um baterista renomado mas se eu um dia chegar a tocar assim vou estar muito feliz skoaksaoksoaks

  • anybody know what the sample pad he uses is?

  • @xand134 from this angle it looks to be a roland spd-s, don't quote me though

  • what song is this? they sound cool

  • @redheadlino12 The Downfall of Us All

  • @ohbutt7 thanks dude!

  • @redheadlino12 Downfall of Us All by A Day To Remember.

  • I know the snare sounds good but in this video it sounds like me hitting a can of Monster with a pencil :P

  • One of my favorite drummers, ever.

  • Does anyone know why he's left Truth. I saw them last night and he was sporting an SJC

  • @garycheung92 dont know why but he changed all his endorses. he is with SJC and zildjian now. his SJC kit is really ugly though!!

  • @XxbanconandbeanxX no its not its pretty tight like the way it looks. it looks like a wood barrel print on but if you go to sjc's website it legit wood every thing and it gives a almost smoked wood vintage feel when looking at it

  • @garycheung92 the number one reason for drummers leaving truth is they aren't very (or at all) christian 

  • Beast.

  • Precision drumming with flair. Thy name is Alex Shelnutt

  • @intoaminor its not really that challengeing. I dont like playing with earphones because i dont want to depend on them for being on time. Plus think how much better youd be.when you did use them after you never did!

  • Beast!!

  • I love how if you look at the uploader this is an advertisement for cymbols. Damn, those are some strong cymbols. Alex is such a monster.

  • What a creepy look from the dude behind Alex! :O I couln't have played with a dude watchin my every move D:

  • an awake crowd?! Holy fuck, I thought I'd never see the day!

  • Pop Punk drummer.

  • @hellangelzx best one i've ever seen to be fair.

  • @TriviumAscendancy1 Then find the video of Set your Goals drummer playing along with Gaia Bleeds

  • @hellangelzx your point has been made :P

  • @TriviumAscendancy1 Thank you kindly :) But I'll give him credit, he's good for what they do.

  • @hellangelzx true! :)

  • @hellangelzx pop punk? no.

  • @hellangelzx listen to this song, its kinda pop punkish.

  • Eeeew

    

  • flawlesssss ._____________.

  • faster songs are good. imagine listening to a dance beat slow, it would suck. same thing here. only thing that needs to be slow are breakdowns...but we got parkway drive for that :)

  • @intoAminor hes a monster

  • WAIT. he didnt wear any earphone/earplug. how the F does he get in tune with the rhythms. WOAH. :O

  • @intoAminor There's a monitor right next to him.

  • @caryyoung27 on warped tour most bands speed up songs so they can fit more into their 30 min slot.

  • i love his drumming but he has bad technique unfortunatly

  • @grantmaimer24 Eh, probably just had no formal training, in my opinion, but hey. He makes it work.

  • @grantmaimer24 Ya he chokes up on the stick way hard, but since it's mostly quarter notes and eigth notes it works for him

  • 0:58 BASSSSSSSSSS DROPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

  • I wanna see a drum of Dan from TDWP, Alex from ADTR and Matt from ABR, all versus Romain Goulon from necrophagist.

  • He goes so hard!

  • 4:48 boss

  • ludwig black beauty limited edition?

  • matt greiner must have tought him some things...

    

  • dude's a monster!

  • Daniel Wiliiams > Alex Shelnutt

  • what is that song?

  • @BandaDK First song is called Downfall of us All

  • @taylorcassell7 thank you

  • @BandaDK Second song is Fast Forward to 2012.

  • solid as fuck.

  • Alex Shelnutt, BEAST

  • Totally tell hes not playing to a click

  • @kirbyhurst Totally hes so not playing to a Clit. i mean click ha.

  • @SithShayton Dude. Everyone plays fast live. Deal with it.

  • @NICKHAM16 dude i was joking. Deal with it.

  • It's funny cuz he's not even on Meinl anymore. He's endorsed by Zildjian.

  • @DaviddddEO is there a Zildjian channel with videos like these??

  • @ryanarce1123 I don't think so, or atleast I've never found any.

  • I really hope he had his protien shake in the morning, MOAR SHUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR.

  • Double china fail at 0:39

  • @MapALife dumb fuck he was hitting the floor tom

  • @maxthedrummerrrr, lol I guess my speakers weren't up enough to hear. looked like he was just missing the china

  • i want his drums........ and now! ^~^

  • @niqitoa7x Downfall of us all

  • @niqitoa7x its the downfall of us all, off homesick

  • I swear this dude live is much funner to listen to than on their records, and gotta love that kit! I just covered, "The Danger In Starting A Fire" by these dudes, check it out!

  • i swear hes such a badass!! love it

    this eagle flies!

  • 2:15 I love that hand trick!!!

  • Wtf he left truth and meinl and went to zildjian and sjc??

  • @dforcefan1213 alex is one of the only drummers who was originally with truth who is not openly christian, i'm pretty sure. that might've influenced his change to sjc. also zildjian sponsors the warped tour so i dno, maybe it was more accessible. still sounds as good i reckon!

  • So underrated

  • Look at that Golden Eagle flying !

  • idgaf what people say he is fucking hot and he is so good at playing the drums.

  • MORE SUGAAAAAA

    

  • Lol, he plays Zildjian now :)

  • i bet 1/2 the crowd got a stif neck at 0:19 XD

  • @CHADbmx21 I got a stiff boner at about that time...

  • @pellegrinidude hahah my friends and I have said all along that alex shelnutt is such a monkey

  • love his crash ride

  • @pelligrinidude good one?

  • Beast;D

  • Just saw Alex in the new Planet of the Apes movie commercial.

  • @pellegrinidude hes in that movie?!

  • his kit is really nice

  • Needs more cowbell.

  • Man, he nailed this.

  • daniel williams vs. alex shelnutt

  • fuckin beast

  • Love alex Shelnutt -3 great video

  • Whats the 2nd song the play? i cant tell

  • @cheply13 It's fast forward to 2012

  • @x32OTEBx i thought it was homesick

  • Alex is by far my favorite modern day drummer. hes my favorite member of the band. ive seen them perform live 5 times. 3 times before "What Separates Me From You" and 2 times after and ive noticed that their live performance is alot better than before even though it was amazing before. idk jeremy just sounds alot better and i think they even play their new songs at the tempo they recorded it at haha. ADTR for life

  • I give Alex more credit for his style rather than his skill. His drum tracks go perfectly with every ADTR song, regardless of how fast or dynamically he plays :D

  • @DarknessDrawsCloser style is skill

  • @ALpha101 I meant to say amount of skill. His drumming compliments each song very well, but he's not overdoing it.

  • Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, The Rev, Joey Jordison, and ALEX FUCKIN SHELLNUT!!!!!!!! Legends.....

  • I like the fact that he doesn't drum to make it complex, but for style, because adtr drums in their songs, sound amazing,

  • What a great fucking drummer

  • Ahh, I was there ;D

  • I saw him a few months ago:) Amazing drummer, seriously

  • He's great, his drumming is such as an inspiration for me :D

  • why isnt he the best i dont see whats so bad hes beastin it up !!!

  • @kaynify I think they're speaking stage presence wise.. Check out Daniel Williams for TDWP he goes crazy lol

  • @hobojoe102 True haha yeah i seen him he goes fuking mentall !

  • BITCH HIT THAT CYMBAL.
