We found a drummer (Protest the Hero - The Dissentience cover)

[OdinsFox]

What pedal do you use?

[MrMagicallights]

haha didnt this drummer play lead in another video yall put up in some super short shorts.h aha alliteration up the ass

[350grizzly]

you need more cymbals if your going to be playing heavy shit like this, get a splash or two, and another crash

[BWTCmedia]

@350grizzly lol have you seen Moe Carlson's set? It's probably the same size as this.

[350grizzly]

@BWTCmedia no hes has 2 more splashes and another chine and another tom. im just saying if you throw in some mroe cymbals and toms you can get some really beats

[jordanrendino]

u need vocals

[FlyWthBoundaries]

amazing guitar playing. just flying all over! dammmm maybe you could finger me later ;)

[alexstypes]

@FlyWthBoundaries Lol comment of the year!

[Pendrakulya]

you know, "We Found a Drummer" would be an awesome name for a band. Those dudes are goddamn rare to find (at least where I live)

[skulltac]

I also have mastered the art of the skin flute lol. This video is so awesome.

PS- can I have your drum set.

[alexstypes]

@skulltac Haha skin flute...what a god damn messy instrument. Does that make girls musician's then?

-JKR

[metal4eva16j]

@alexstypes great cover dude!

wish i could play like u guys!

[michaelc5876]

@alexstypes and instraments lol

[thepspman116]

You guys should get those pro recording mics for the drums, and this would sound sicks. Its kicks ass anyways !!!!!!!!!!!

[ISeeWolves]

I don't really like his set up where his Tom is. It just looks weird.

[metalhead2221]

sickkk guys, what kind of china is that?

[ralexlu]

you guys really need to get your shit together and get a bass player and drummer as badass as yourselves and tour!

[Metallica032693]

Holy shit. You can drum like a beast and play guitar like a beast?!?!? Man, if only you could have 4 arms so you could play drums and guitar at the same time.

[Sandaman4]

lol nice..and ur bloodmeat redo cover was sick...i think u guys sound much better just directly plugged in with 2 guitars - but this was still good

[Deathmatchfan13]

What other instruments do you play?

Sick cover by the way

[alexstypes]

@Deathmatchfan13 A bit of Piano, guitar and drums...some bass. Skin flute lawlz. (joke)

-JKR

[vinsonF]

watch?v=TayyUsMgKEI

[megadrummer2]

@NoAppend Hahaha, that's the problem I'm having.

[jacobuza]

awsome vid but the drums always match the pitch of the guitar if not quieter : / while gutar plays FF drummer should play like mF

[JTxFlannelEnergy]

@jacobuza is pitch a term for volume?

[jacobuza]

@JTxFlannelEnergy volume** yeah lmao drums are never supposed to play louder than chords unless in a solo or an occasional sybol crash

[pattttttrick]

@JTxFlannelEnergy Pitch isn't a term for volume. Pitch refers to the frequency of a note.

[JTxFlannelEnergy]

@pattttttrick i don't think jacobuza knows that lol. I did though. Thanks for answering anyways always nice to see that people who know what they're talking about have the ability comment just like the sadly larger majority who don't.

[pattttttrick]

@JTxFlannelEnergy Oh. Right! The guitar should be louder though!

[demonarmymen]

dude no offense but for a moment, i thought the drummer was a chick. srry.

[alexstypes]

@demonarmymen Haha I guess you can't see my hairy arms and legs in the video...That's pretty funny.

[cjisindahouse1234567]

@alexstypes grow a beard. haha

[supadoob]

nice guitar

[plugza]

You get the drummer but you lost the guitarist at the same time.

[IfTheBannersFall]

If you guys are ever looking for a singer, fuck man, let me know. :>

[5thEagle]

Insane. Would take me years to get to that level.

[BjKnight91]

Haha that dude can play everything.

[ryuusamaX24]

Kickass on the guitar...and drums? My fuckin hero.

[Ty2052]

this is so good, i actually hear Rody in my head so clearly!

[Blankffix]

Lol these dudes are amazing...

[dbsk8r92]

lmao i love protest the hero and my english teacher from my junior year looked exactly like their guitarist.

[handofblood2394]

waw

[maccafan10]

My garden sundail keeps better time.

[MrViOlEnCeIsGoLdEn]

@maccafan10 lol

[Murderdolls106]

[roflgoodgame]

[CHELSEA2041992]

[aXlBroO0]

hahahahaha no comments, i like it

[alexstypes]

@aXlBroO0 no comments?!

[aXlBroO0]

@alexstypes hahaha i mean it was just funny but still was pretty good

[TrypAVR]

@aXlBroO0

[SirAwsomness]

isnt this the same guy from all the other videos? lol

[alexstypes]

@SirAwsomness Yes its me...it was just a bit of a joke. I set my drums up and said eh...why not.

-Jordan

[lengcho1]

@alexstypes Not bad. Not bad at all :D

[54MProductions]

wat tuning do u play in?

[andYourblooblood]

Def a Blue Moon in the background... You are gnarley.

[ps3adamps3]

So you happen to rape at drumming aswell I HEART YOU GUYS

[6THE6BLISTER6EXISTS6]

nice, for the drummer, u should raise the throne/chair/stool so you don't have to lift ur legs as much, it works good for double bass

[biglola13]

holy shit you guys are so damn good

[DinkyMax]

Yeah you're probably right, I've just never gave it a try...anyway you guys kick ass

[DinkyMax]

So you play guitar, bass and drumm...damn you're a complete musician my friend

[spizec]

@DinkyMax well if you play guitar you practically know how to play bass too its just a normal guitar with for strings

[alexstypes]

Well it depends on how you play bass, if you play just the root notes and you play just 16th note picking with no embellishments or finger picking styles yea its the same. But playing bass like Arif from PtH is totally different than shreddin' guitar.

-Jordan

[FluffyMuffina]

@alexstypes dude, i've been doing PTH stuff on bass, hard as hell, I can only do like half of what Arif does.

[netterhaufen]

@spizec but good bassists play with their finger! playing with 3 finger technic is also a challenge. so if you can play the guitar good and you start playing the basses you have a little advantage to a beginner who does´t play the guitar

[YogiTheBassBear]

Go listen to Primus or Mudvayne and then try to say that.

[PsiBeta22]

I cant figure out why you skipped the easier half of the solo. Well done though.

[leonL39]

Hey how do you like the S-series ibanez guitar cuz im thinking of getting an SAS32EX

[alexstypes]

@leonL39 I love mine man. The S-series is pretty wicked.

-Alex

[BrennanTheBassist]

3:00 No sweeps!?!?!?!? but great job lol

[0redthunder0]

@BrennanTheBassist Aren't the sweeps done on bass? :S

[BrennanTheBassist]

@0redthunder0 I think they are before that part but it's definitely not just bass at 3:00 it is pretty hard to play though so I don't blame him :/

[alexstypes]

The reason why he didnt play the sweeps before the solo is because that's how we play it when we both play it on guitar, I play those little sweeps...check out our dual guitar cover of this song.

-Jordan

[Thringer09]

Nice.

[MrCoolio0760]

damn good. join my band someday haha

[alessiaxcore]

For "not playing in a while", you're definitely really awesome.

You should make some "Beat of the Day" videos for all of us drummers! lol

<3

[alexstypes]

@alessiaxcore Thanks man I appreciate that, lol I would love to do that if I had all the mics to mic my set more, but unfortunately I was low on cash and had to pawn my beautiful Ride cymbal, bought it for 200 plus and got a mere 70 bucks for it.....GOD how shitty.

-Jordan

[alessiaxcore]

@alexstypes Aw thats shitty.

Well hopefully you get another someday, until then keep posting great vids. <3

[MadnessMethod]

2:49 is the best haha!

BTW, how do you have your tension set up on your double bass? Loose or with a little bit of tension to give you that bounce-back kind of feeling?

[alexstypes]

Its fairly tight, but to be honest I haven't played in a while and I suck at setting that shit up so I'm not really the go to guy haha.

-Jordan

[MadnessMethod]

haha, cool. I keep hearing people say loose is better while others say tight is the way to go and I saw that you had really consistent and powerful double bass in the vid so I was just wondering. I'm not too good at setting my set up either lol, but it sounds decent, and in the vid you're definitely keeping up and know what you're doing, so keep rocking! (and thanks for replying! ) \m/

[alexstypes]

Yea the truth is everyone has their own personal taste for what works best, you gotta experiment and try on your own ya know? Lol thanks man, I actually just set my drums up too like a day or two before this video and I hadn't played in over a year. But I'm always practicing double bass. No problem man take it easy.

-Jordan

[EraOfBloodtv]

Sick. You should get a mid tom with those beauties eventually.

[alexstypes]

I actually have a few other cymbals and two other toms but I'm too fuggin lazy to set them up lol.

-Jordan

[IIHazard]

lads because of you I found protest the hero and now I love them with a passion, thanks a hell of a lot :D

[joojicf]

holly fuuuck! OO that was amazing!

[BadReligion93]

GET A VOCAL COVER!!

Just kidding. That's some sick shit you got going though.

[awansakti]

fk yeh..tat was awsum

[AcousticDiscoMetal1]

wait doesn't your drummer also play guitar? haha

[Sharkizzz]

nice one!!!!

[9saveme]

when two peaple can take a song, play a cover of it, and make the cover sound better than the original song, thats just fukin beast! find a mager get a record deal u 2 deserve it

[eyemb0r3d]

Dude you guys are pro i think this is the best cover out for this song

[alexstypes]

Thanks man, it's a difficult one to get but we did alright. It's the only drum and guitar cover I believe...

-Jordan

[cbecker94]

What kind of guitar is that?

[alexstypes]

It's an Ibanez Prestige SV5470.

-Alex

[TheLastSinger]

Those things are expensive as fuck, but i really want the sunburst one. keep it up guys

[xxtdgfan4lifexx]

you guys are seriously the two most talented guys on youtube keep making great videos nd ill keep watching

[alexstypes]

Thanks man we appreciate that, hopefully we'll get some more videos up soon.

-Alex

[Crankmeister]

Subscribed gents!! I'm sure I recognise that drummer....

;-)

Awesome as ever guys!!

[threeflip911]

damn. i was coming here for a good laugh (like most protest covers provide) but this was actually very impressive.

[releek1981]

reminds me of dream theater. awesome

[duff5000]

ahah Damn! Jord, had no idea you could play drums like that , sick at guitar and drums. Btw nice s series alex, and the distortion sounds great. peace

[alexstypes]

Lol thanks Duff, yea man...I actually started out on drums before guitar, I was in a few bands where the guitarist sucked so I decided fuck it, why not learn it. Take it easy bro.

-Jordan

[busterboxer86]

that kinda reminds me of the killswitch engage drum kit small but it sounds awesome keep it up  you would not happen to have any songs that are digitally mastered for free

[idrinkmyownpizzle]

good job!

[Paulmeister]

you guys fucking RULE. That was so clean and smooth...just...great. Keep up the good stuff.

[devon88888]

nice indeed

[D3monicD3mon]

Nice job. Bandana FTW.!!

[alexstypes]

? What would I do with two snares?! Lol

[BLSsuicide]

idk if u guys have done this yet or not but one of the best things to have with a drum set is two snares..one open one closed.. but yea this is really damn good

[1stdeadpresident]

the drummer looks so familiar.. LOL.. you guys are fuckin sick...

[CaptCollins]

is he amazing at every instrument or what...

[alexstypes]

Thanks CaptCollins, Idk if you were referring to me or not but if so...it's appreciated a bunch. Do I know you?!

-Jordan

[awagamgnalaw]

that was pretty sick.

[alexstypes]

LMFAO!! I'm mounting your phone on my snare mother FUCKER HAHAHA!

-Jordan

[pantellica666]

fukin sick cover bros u guys shred some serious shit man

[lectwar]

pretty good drummer...guitar playing was great

[Orbit91]

Where's the bassist? And you need to be less tense when you play, great playing nonetheless :D

[alexstypes]

Well if you're referring to the bassist because of the exiled video, I recorded the bass myself, we don't actually have a legit bassist.

-Jordan

[Orbit91]

Fair enough, if I was a Yank, I'd come lay down the bass for free for you :D

[anaranjadomonkey]

thanks, subscribed =)

[sk8r4evr95]

crazy good job man. i culdnt hear a single screw up in the whole thing. greatness in cover form

[anaranjadomonkey]

Hes using line6 spider II, right? I just ordered a 75w spider III, I like it but it's a bit techy, wat u guys think of it?

[alexstypes]

You are correct, unfortunately the spider III isn't as good as the II IMO, they combine the chorus and flange but, Idk I haven't fucked with them enough to know all the ups and downs.

-Jordan

[Shimaju687]

the drummer is a better guitarist from what i can tell haha, had some trouble in a few spots but pretty good overall

[alexstypes]

Lol DAMMIT!!! We need to get more videos up soon, of me on drums. I promise you I can play better, I was rusty as fuck and hadn't touched the drums in over a year mate.

-Jordan

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

it could of been better if there was some double bass in the drums it makes it less boring

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

nvm i didnt watch the whole thing...the second half way crazy good

[domacadin]

dude you dumb he is playing double bass

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

le kick and what i am saying is that there is a lot of spots that if he double kicked that it could sound a lot better

[gaylordfannyhead]

jesus christ did go give u his fingers? I love PTH and you couldnt of covered this song better although the drums could of been a little more acurate but uve done amazingly for what the actual song is lyk the drums are lyk an epileptic fit lol

[alexstypes]

For some reason this song gives me trouble on the drums, even today it did. Eh, I probably play it better on guitar anyway, it was our first take, bloodmeat and wretch we destroy it though.

-Jordan

[jparker923]

you guys suck. booooooo. BOOOOOOOO!

[akuma862005]

Another great PTH song. Keep it up.

[akoalabear1]

jesus christ how do you remember all those notes

[theused4lifebaby]

that china is niiiiiiice

[alexstypes]

Lol the China is a wuhan, it was like 20 bucks...its not bad, I needa bigger one though...hink, that's what she said.

-J Donkey

[theused4lifebaby]

WTF

$20 only?!

over where i live (Australia) a decent china is like $200-$500

[XBillinatorX]

get the sabian metal x china 18 inch that one is explosively awesome

[cAsEyGaTeWoOd]

omg, i dont even know this song and i loved it... nice =]

[hutchmastah77]

dude y'all r freakin awesome!!!!!!! i sent u a friend thingy so i hope yall add me

[wimmac321]

Good work Jordan! hehe!

[gibsonsg127]

man that would be cool doing a medley because no one has done that and a7x is awesome so yea u should do that.

[mariokart77]

cool,i guess

[alexstypes]

?

-Jordan

[gibsonsg127]

na man sorry what i meant was could you do a beast and the harlot guitar cover of both of you guys like how u did it in the starting over cover

[alexstypes]

Ohhh!! Lol yea that's a possibility, odds are Alex would end up with most of Syn's parts because that's just more his style and I would be left with all the boring Zacky sections lol. But we were thinking of doing an A7X medley and putting together all the best parts and turning it into like a seven minute song of epicness!!

-Jordan

[gibsonsg127]

please do beast and the harlot by avenged sevenfold

[alexstypes]

That's a sweet song but we tend to venture more towards proggier sounding shit, some of the things The Rev does are effin' difficult.

-Jordan

[HypnotiqBaby]

niceeee jordan <3333333 - cece

[jamdband]

OMG :O That was very much okay XD

[apalms93]

isn't that the other guitarist on the drums??

[alexstypes]

Lol yes, its me...the other guitarist...I play drums, well I started on drums then decided it would be cool to play guitar, three years later I...still play guitar lol

-Jordan

[edgeontap]

you've only been playing guitar for 3 years!!?? i hate my life

[WelshOgre66]

edgeontap..... i agree!!!! lol. i hate mine too. i want to play both these instruments, but i have nowhere near enough skill to play as well as these guys

[BraddyVengeance]

lol I've only been playing 4 1/2 =P Idk whethe ror not I'm good though you'd have to watch my videos to decide that for yourself =P

[AndurielStudios]

you need to get that one part down thats after that one part in the part where you depart but you what with the who now live and it sounds like rudess and rush had jordan

[brettthehero]

haha, sweet shit, i thought that you guys actually found a drummer when i saw the title of the video, pretty good though guys, mad props yo

[yyzny21688]

Thanks man, yea it was like the first time I actually played it on drums, but we said fuck it, because I was stoked I finally got my drums back.

-Jordan

[demonsandwizards1]

do you learn all your songs by ear?

[alexstypes]

For the most part yes. But if we get stuck on a certain part we'll slow it down in Audacity and watch live performance videos to see how they play it.

[Coheednmadness]

awesome thats how I do it.

[mazokisss]

amazing!

[Xenon0816]

the song is fuckin awesome!!!

[jimbolimbo22]

never seen him before!!

[punkrfella2]

Dude when you said first time, i thought no way. Then i remembered Jordan has his drums again. Great Job!

[domacadin]

you need to get more toms because metal rolls sound a lot better whit some crazy tom action

[alexstypes]

I would have a set as big as Portnoy's...but I hate setting up drums lol.

-Jordan

[punkrfella2]

Thats because ur a bitch

[CornfieldSurfer]

uncalled for.

[punkrfella2]

naw dude its cool. these my bros. I just sent that drum kit to jordan a couple weeks ago. im finally glad he has it set up, cuz he used to play drums before guitar. But i kinda agree with him when it comes to settin up drums lol

[KillswitchEngage42]

Oh really, that's awesome. You had me confused with that first comment. Haha

[grievous56]

I laughed about the drummer. Never seen that guy before. XD

[Razolo]

Great job!

[jamiepoultonadult]

You guys just get better and better. Alex you did an awesome job, and jord you dark horse

[GOW9234]

your drummer looks oddly familiar lol...great work as always
