oh wow, amazing drumming and amazing vocals as well. As a drummer and an aspiring singer, I'm striving to be this good someday!
You're a damn legend. Super clean vocals over that kinda drumming is top notch.
Damn dude thanks so much! I grew up watching your drum covers back in the day, so that's awesome to have you comment. I'll never forget the Black and Yellow days lol.
This dude needs some recognition!
Thanks so much, I appreciate that! TH-cam definitely scratches my performance itch, so I plan to start posting more often.
My recommended feed was blessed today
Glad I could provide a blessing lol. Thank you though!
Wow!
This deserves more attention!!!
I'm glad you think that, thank you!
Awesome dude, love the energy. Also wasn’t expecting the clean vocals but those were good too. 👍🏻
Thanks so much! Yeah I definitely wanna start doing more drum/clean vocal covers for metalcore songs. Doesnt seem to be too many of them across youtube.
Mann this is good, first time seeing your channel. Drumming is super tight, very Matt Garstka-esque. And the cleans! Damnnn
Thanks man! Garstka is my favorite drummer these days, so that's awesome to hear. I checked out your video and you're an awesome drummer too, keep killin it!
Harrisburg PA represent 👊🏻
Hell yeah, man!
Mercy would be proud to have you 😁
One day I will have her 💑
Dude HOLY SHIT what a GOD. Best drum cover I’ve seen in a min
Thanks so much, that means a lot!
Got goosebumps from that double base at the end. Sick cover man! 🤘
Thank you! I'm sure this song has created many goosebumps in its day lol.
Earned a sub good shit mate 👌🏻
Thanks for the comment and sub!
Very cool! The ghost-notes in the bridge starting at 0:42 is my favorite part.
Thank you! Yeah I love that part as well 🤘
Holy shit, this is IMPRESSIVE. Subbed!
Thanks for the comment and sub!
Absolutely crushed it! Nice work! I stumbled on this looking for a drum cover of their song Martyr (Waves) from the newer album, but this track was my fav from the prior album so this was a fun discovery.
Thank you so much! But yeah I love their newest album. Hypermania is probably my favorite song they've ever made, it goes so hard!
Daniel is my favorite drummer, and youre the first guy I've seen to completely nail his style. Nice job mate!
Sirai Thanks man! Yeah, him and I have a bunch of the same influences, so his style felt rather at home to me. He's such an awesome, creative drummer.
Bruh who are you!? What a machine!
Thank you! And I'm just a guy that plays drums in his basement lol.
That was sick man, flawless vocals as well
Thanks so much!
Liked just for the concept, never seen clean and drums in the same cover and at the same time ahah, good idee, but you nailed it, drums are on point, mix and video as well, and the cleans are awesome, especially for someone drumming along, really not easy!
Thanks so much! Definitely wanna start doing more youtube stuff here really soon, so stay tuned!
You’re a monster man!!!
Thank you, man!
Wow! That was really good. Very well done. Polaris has become one of my favorite bands lately. I remember you as the drummer for the band If Not For Me. I'm a big fan of that band!! Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! And yeah I loooove Polaris haha. But that's awesome! Yeah I had a blast in If Not For Me, I love what they've been doing.
Dude! More of this! Seriously sick work!
Thank you! I do plan to start posting more, so stay tuned!
Yeah this was sick!!!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I'm a metalcore fanatic from Brazil. you my friend are very good congratulations on your work. It would be amazing to see you play in a band
Thank you! I may start a casual, just for fun band at some point, but I'm not the biggest fan of being in a band for a career. I'll always be drumming and posting on here though. Thanks for watching!
So fatttt ! Love it !! And nice clean dude !!
The fatness is thanks to my good buddy Hayden of If Not For Me, thank you though!
Dude this is so fucking good.....
Thank you! I appreciate that.
this is sick
Thank you!
Very well played Alex!! Congrats
Thank you so much!
Great!!!
Thank you!
Good drum skills & vocals! 🤘🏻
Thank you!
Killed it. Been thinking of doing a cover of a song from this album myself. It's been awhile.
Thank you! And do it up, this album is so good, any song will be super fun to play.
@@DonderoA7 agreed. The album is excellent. I love the triplet fills in this song.
@@11fbody Duuuuuude me too haha. The triplets in this song get me goin. I'll sub to you though, I'll stay on the lookout for a cover if you do one!
@@DonderoA7 right on man!
Awesome cover dude! Absolutely killer!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
This is gnarly, coming from someone who does sings and plays, this is very impressive. Definitely not easy!
Thank you! Yeah it took a while to get it down. It's almost like adding another limb lol.
Insane! You played it with heart too. Good work
Thank you! Yeah this song definitely gets the heart pumping if anything lol.
Well done man!
Thank you!
Sick
Thank you so much!
Wizard🤘
Perfect 🤩🤘🏻
Thank you so much!
damn, you killed it! Vocals and drumming on point.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Bro just slayed the 2 hardest parts of the song. Definitely better vocals than them live
Nice!!! Cleans on point, Good job, bro!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Hey man that was incredible! Great work, it shows that you have a lot of passion for what you do👍🤙
Thank you! I definitely love this kind of stuff. Always have a blast behind the kit.
I LOVE that snare sound! rest of the kit sounds great as well.
this song looks incredibly fun to play, I would love to learn it but I don't have a double pedal.
Nate Thanks so much! And this song is a total blast to play. Triplets galore hahaha. I'd recommend getting a double pedal. Always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!
Alex Dondero Drums I’m gonna get one as soon as I can 👌🏻
Nate I'd recommend some kind of Tama Iron Cobra or DW 1000 series.
dude you absolutely killed it!!
Thank you so much!
Killer 🔥
Thank you so much!
sick
Thank you!
WOW, very good Cover! I really liked it! :)
Thanks so much!
Holy shit! Okay, Aaron Gillespie
Hahaha he's one of my first big inspirations. Underoath was one of my first metal bands as a youngin'. Thanks though!
This is amazing!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Big respect!
It's something you need a talent for, I've tried singing while playing the drums, it doesn't work for me...
Yeah, I've found it's kinda of like adding a new limb to your playing. I would start with easy songs that you can play basically flawlessly, and just try singing along while you play. It's a niche thing that not many drummers implement into their playing, but you just gotta do it over and over and it'll come easily eventually.
Sos clave gordito, increible
No entiendo amigo lol
is possible for you to make a video only playing the drums without music, testing the kit...., playing the toms slow, or doing a drum solo, im really interested in hear it, i want to buy this tama kit in this finish but im afraid to buy it and after that dont be the kind of sound i looking for...., thanks.
Unfortunately, I haven't had much time lately to make any drum videos, so I probably wouldn't be able to make anything like that. However, there are a bunch of great videos on this kit that I watched before I bought it that I would recommend to you. This kit is awesome though, and I've never had any issues getting it to do exactly what I need it to do.

Man, you're a fucking beast
what is some advice for learning your favorite songs? Great work btw!
I naturally pick up a lot of the parts just from listening to them over the course of a couple weeks, then when I decide I want to fully learn the song, I usually will look it up on TH-cam and air drum through the song until I get to a part I can't play yet. Once I get there, I turn down the speed of the song and just air drum each part over and over until I have the whole song down. Then I air drum it at full speed until I know all of the parts. After that, I move it to the pad and kit and practice until I'm comfortable. Hope that helps!
Are you a Fan of Matt Garstka? I think your movements are like his!
Definitely! He's one of my favorite drummers. I think watching him so much made me subconsciously pick up on some of the movements haha, but I take that as a compliment, thank you!
@@DonderoA7 Sure thing! I do the same stuff, I accidently pick up all types of movements from drummers lol.
Badass cover!
One of the best TH-cam Videos ever. I'm no drummer and this is surely a bit too hard for my taste but this guy fucks
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@DonderoA7 will you post some new videos? I just keep coming back for this haha
@@aylmao9635 Yeah, eventually I will. For the past year or two, I've lived somewhere where I can't really play my drums. Im now transitioning somewhere that I can play them when I want, so I'll be back on the videos soon enough. Thanks for watching!
Ok i see you😎😎 you fucking killed it
Thanks so much!
Shit. Fucking monster. This is perfect
Fuckin amazing!!!!😍
Thank you so much!
That right here is delicious.
Thank you! I definitely try to keep it spicy and saucy lol.

Thank you!
