Despised Icon - Day of Mourning - Farewell Tour 2010 Drum-cam

[ErikDistinction]

Where is he playing now?

[yofac31812]

Hes gotta be a robot!

[nosra01]

Who needs a gym when playing drums like this?

[Detriment46]

i dare someone to fight him lol

[TATdrummerJP]

He's not just crazy fast, I've never seen a drummer move around the kit like this, and pretty much follow every note of the guitar with either drums or cymbals. Btw anyone know wich songs Alex wrote? He is a great guitar player aswell.

[Korntof]

@TATdrummerJP And the fact that every single beat is so perfectly on time triggers could expose no flaws in his playing. When I hear hiss bass drums, it's not the tone that gets me, it's the unimaginable speed and complexity played with absolute precision that gets me.

[milacamilacamila]

este wn la caga wn !

[resilientex]

BRIGIDO!

[jfv666]

Trop fort en criss !!!! cest hallucinant. Un des meilleurs drummeurs au QUébec qu'on a dans le métal !!!! AVec Patrice Hamelin, Étienne Gallo, Flo Mounier et Yanick Bercier....

[reaver901]

He's too slow

[iloveskateboarding45]

im down with all of his pieces of his set just moving around and swaying and shit.

[OblivionDrummer]

One of the few drummers I've seen with splashes above crashes. Baddass

[LiamTheDrummerAFM]

probabaly one of the, if not thee most complicated song on drums by despised icon

[holyshiet787]

BASSDROP BITCH!!<3

[extolboy]

1 doubt---> 2:05 fail fill?

[theoppositescollide]

@extolboy No, he's just doing some goofy shit that i can't decipher, he does the exact same thing at about 0:28

[extolboy]

if it is the same, but still I do not think it came out the 2nd time

[mattbell555]

@extolboy yess

[juniorskates99]

Alex is the man!

[Delirious718]

It's nice seeing him actually play with the bead of the stick for once...

[kkkeikurono]

How can he play that faster with those huge drumsticks omg

[drkmonkey7]

He is so ridiculasly buff lol

what kind of bass drop thing is he using and anyone know where to find something like that in a decent price range?

[AIWgarrus]

@drkmonkey7

he's using the roland spd-s, it's very common these days, I'm using it to play skits live, trigger my drums and do bass drops live.. but these things come very expensive, but it sure is worth it

[zgates]

I'm not really a big Despised Icon fan, but Alex is just... wow.

[MrXxMCRxx]

HAHA i saw these guy in August in DAYTON OHIO. HAHA BITCHES!!!!!

[TheIceTitan]

Why did Despised con break up anyways?

[sickdrummerdotcom]

@TheIceTitan 6 guys one stage 10-12 years...sometimes shit just happens. Alex will be back and even has a new style that allows him to play faster...lol go figure

[TheIceTitan]

@sickdrummerdotcom Ehh good point. Who's Alex playing with now? And his technique has always astounded me, he seems so tense at times, but he's perfectly comfortable playing that way. Lol I dunno, it'd be interesting to hear him talk about everything with his drumming someday.

[Delirious718]

@sickdrummerdotcom is his new style actually playing with the beads of the stick??!!! I see he does do that in this video.

[Hammy0924]

@sickdrummerdotcom That's even possible???

[lambofwrath95]

@sickdrummerdotcom 8 years... 2002-2010...

and it was because they "needed to spend more time with family..." :S but fair enough, family should come first... R.I.P DI! we miss you

[blight4hire]

@sickdrummerdotcom last time alex used pure arm and wrist. now i notice he uses it as well as some fingers

[xAnastasia1990x]

@TheIceTitan It was mainly cause they were starting what they call new chapters in their lives, like new jobs, starting families etc.

[RzRw1re]

I swear to god this man is a robot, or some kind of drum god.

Shame to see such an amazing band end the way it did =(

[nonhasthisusername]

farewell tour, are they splitting up?

[pnutskater96]

@nonhasthisusername they played there last show on december 11 2010

R.I.P DI

[lucasathus]

wtf are those arms

[HereticsGen]

Thumbs up if you think drummers shouldn't be in the back!

[HeavyMetalen666]

Ridiculous muscles

[RapiDEraZeR]

@HeavyMetalen666

decent but nothing special.he should work out though.he has a good base

[cultyrath]

0:51 Ride or Tom?

[fokbo]

@cultyrath  or air ?

[jockerboofer]

this guy is simply amazing !

Vive le Québec !

[durryduz]

fucken mental

[Pieti222]

It's amazing how fast he is....

[wtfnumbnuts]

my fav song by em <3

[BloodyHawk39]

Sometimes, his arms seem sped-up, but the cymbals react normally. So I guess this drummer is pure genius then!

[sickdrummerdotcom]

@BloodyHawk39 ya the cymblas tell the tale. Alex is just crazy fast

[SinisterSkip]

@BloodyHawk39

It may look speed up because is either the framerate or the motion-blur that makes it look weird, but ofcourse, it's all good :)

[AjaxpuffNstuff]

@SinisterSkip lol maybe the fact that theres strobe lights and its pretty obvious strobes fuck cameras up

[Bayernmetaler]

@BloodyHawk39 i think they play every song live with 300 bpm... i know it of MVP and this song

[dHANNESd]

look on his arms and shoulders....he dont need training xD

[AbyssiumDr]

2:29 to 2:59 is fucking awesome. R.I.P Despised Icon! U will forever remain in the hall of fame on montréal sickest band

[Mackelashni]

Crazy sick!

[SlanevskyDrums]

sick
