I've listened to drummers from Lee Stanton of Thy Art Is Murder, Matt Greiner, Luke Holland, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Alex Shelnutt is still my favorite out of all of them. I am just so in love with his playful style and his comfort behind that kit.
@DDrummr41 I know this isn't specific but it will definitely narrow down your search, he plays Evans heads. If you go to there website and find him in there artist roster it says all the evans products he uses.
i dont know if anyone else got this or if I'm wrong, but he either drums so hard his shirts' tag is out, or he taped the output aux on his shirt so he can hear himself better. Either way, thats fucking badass.
totally agree with you man. the dw stand makes this easy for you to do too. it does make a difference.. i hate when they're super tight and can't get a good sound from them.
Sup gents, figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. Both bands are pretty cool, and I dig both AA and ADTR's tunes, regardless of whether it's their most recent, or older stuff. The change both of them went through, (Attack Attack's change especially) is pretty cool when you look at it haha.
It's not the drummer who does that. It's the roadies and the sound men working together on what gives the best sound to the mics. The drummer can has his saying as well, but that's how it is. I used to tell the soundman to loosen up my cymbals until I heard the difference in the speakers, after that I went with how he wanted it to be :)
I saw zildjians video of this same show.. and it says he is using a A Zildjian Sweet Ride but it looks to me like he is using all K and K Custom and Hybrid cymbals...
Do you guys even know what Golden Eagle is? Or are you just saying it from his episode of What Separates Me From You? It's his Skate company that him and James Lano made. -_-
Hey now that was a great album. I think the drums were really great. They were not just following the music, he had a really awesome approach to it. I've gotten into playing alot of it. Just hate how AA isnt really them anymore. Catfish Soup was the best song on that IMO.
I checked him out, and I don't really know what to think of him. At first it was neat that he was so into his drumming, and he does have a definite style, but it honestly seems very repetitive to me, and I don't know if I really find any inspiration from him sadly :c
@DanOnDrumsss I would be very surprised if they didn't play to a click track through their in-ears. Lots of bands do it, it just helps them not speed up and stuff
oooor, the sound guy/s would have told him to tighten up the stands because the venue had a lot of reverb (which it sounds like in the clip), which makes cymbals sound, well, like they have lots of reverb on them, which would sound shit from how much sustain his cymbals have when they're not as tight. basically it would have sounded overly 'washy' out foh and thats no good. And a tight or loose ride will always have a ping. Also, mics+mixer just gives volume not sustain as your comment states...
Yeah! But if you want a cheaper alternative, I use a stagg 19" DH china. I've tested a few of them against a few different 18" orientals, and in my opinion, it sounds about the same at about half the price. And I've had mine for almost 2 years now. (That's playing it for an average of 3 hours a day, plus shows)
Sadly I agree with you. Its what the genera is really. Its what you'd expect to hear when its played. I know this is a bad comparison, But Take ABR and TIJ, Matt and Adam, when you listen to the songs from them, you Don't expect there drums at all. They take the lead in the songs in my opinion.
When the smoke machines kick in it sounds like Alex is playing on the loudest, thrashiest china of all time. Does anyone know what he triggers when he hits the electric pad at the start of each chorus?
yeah I definitely agree with how they take lead in their songs. I'm sure Aaron is like that for his own genre, but I personally think Attack Attack's drummer from Someday Came Suddenly is much more interesting than him lol
Damn they always rush the tempo when playing live and it throws me off a little bit lol the ONLY time I saw them live it was so rushed I couldn’t enjoy it
OM&M is one of my favorite bands. They have carried the flame and rose the bar. AA should not be called AA anymore to me. Same with Guns N Roses. Its just Axl Rose and a band. I hate the music industry sometimes.
Drumming in jeans, this man is a lunatic.
alex joined ADTR when he was 15 how crazy is that
That's crazy
OK and??? Your point is he was 15. Is that so extreme that its crazy or something? Dumbass 🙄!!
I fucking love watching Alex play drums
This dude is fucking insane I don't care what anyone says. He should be one of the most well known drummers in todays metal scene
we agree!
Wow, you really learn to appreciate everyone who contributes to a band after seeing stuff like this!
Hard to believe this was almost 10 years ago. I remember watching this video for the first time like it was yesterday
He's one of the best drummer's of today! GOLDEN EAGLE
I just saw them in Lowell MA on October 8th, wow what a show it was amazing
all good i've been a fan of his work for along time he inspired me to drum 4yrs ago
now this is what im talking about!! soo siiickk!! nothing gets better then drummer view of an awsome drummer live. soo good :D
I've listened to drummers from Lee Stanton of Thy Art Is Murder, Matt Greiner, Luke Holland, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Alex Shelnutt is still my favorite out of all of them. I am just so in love with his playful style and his comfort behind that kit.
you killed it bosss...
He's pushing that beat like a boss, way faster than the orginalXD
Yeah, Jeremy struggling to keep up 🤣
Great cover I ever watched! Sounds like original!
It is the original lmao
That’s ADTR performing live.
I wouldn't go that far, but his work is really clean and he looks like he's having fun. I respect him.
Awesome kit really!!!!!
Damn, this dude rocks... l look forward to seeing it live
He definitely will man, drummers in bands as big as these will without a doubt have a metronome going and have in-ear monitoring too
He must burn so much calories after every show, amazing.
I think he burns them during the show!
HEY, i just realized i was actually at that show, and man they were awesome
..
Most underrated part of any band
sick!!!
Man that double pedals is crazy
That bass drum sounds like a machine gun 🤯
yeah now that guy has passion and his style is just amazing check him out
@npdrumming it's Alex's skateboard company.
The amount of times he's probably played this song, he honestly has no need for one.
Probly my favorite drummer out there. I don't play this style, but it sounds sick haha
@DDrummr41 I know this isn't specific but it will definitely narrow down your search, he plays Evans heads. If you go to there website and find him in there artist roster it says all the evans products he uses.
Wonderful!
@3:11 hitting that bass drop yeeeeeah! GOLDEN EAGLE!
3:11 that footwork!!
I wonder what triggers Alex was using on his pad throughout the song. Sounded like bass boosts or something. Super cool
I LIVE IN LOWELL, HOW DID THIS SHOW SLIP BY ME
i dont know if anyone else got this or if I'm wrong, but he either drums so hard his shirts' tag is out, or he taped the output aux on his shirt so he can hear himself better. Either way, thats fucking badass.
Looks like a binder clip to me, keeping slack to his IEMs
totally agree with you man. the dw stand makes this easy for you to do too. it does make a difference.. i hate when they're super tight and can't get a good sound from them.
Sup gents, figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. Both bands are pretty cool, and I dig both AA and ADTR's tunes, regardless of whether it's their most recent, or older stuff. The change both of them went through, (Attack Attack's change especially) is pretty cool when you look at it haha.
great!!!!
Make the clip of Indonesian drummer Aldy Kumis - Pee wee gaskins, he's good indeed
It's not the drummer who does that. It's the roadies and the sound men working together on what gives the best sound to the mics. The drummer can has his saying as well, but that's how it is. I used to tell the soundman to loosen up my cymbals until I heard the difference in the speakers, after that I went with how he wanted it to be :)
alex is going hard!
I love how his click speeds up like 5 bpm after the beginning sample:p
I saw zildjians video of this same show.. and it says he is using a A Zildjian Sweet Ride but it looks to me like he is using all K and K Custom and Hybrid cymbals...
Bass Drop my friend =] best sound ever
Do you guys even know what Golden Eagle is?
Or are you just saying it from his episode of What Separates Me From You?
It's his Skate company that him and James Lano made.
-_-
Hey now that was a great album. I think the drums were really great. They were not just following the music, he had a really awesome approach to it. I've gotten into playing alot of it. Just hate how AA isnt really them anymore. Catfish Soup was the best song on that IMO.
21" Zildjian Sweet Ride
Obviously it's supposed to highlight drums
GOLDEN EAGLE!!!
Wow he did as if he was the drummer of ADTR!
He is
2011 warped tour was first tour with SJC i believe, hes been with them ever since
I checked him out, and I don't really know what to think of him. At first it was neat that he was so into his drumming, and he does have a definite style, but it honestly seems very repetitive to me, and I don't know if I really find any inspiration from him sadly :c
@DanOnDrumsss I would be very surprised if they didn't play to a click track through their in-ears. Lots of bands do it, it just helps them not speed up and stuff
No problem!
Idk I never really listened to him to be honest. I'm pretty sure he was in Underoath right?
agree.
I won Alex Shelnutt's property of Zach, Golden Eagle Giveaway.
I got a GE skateboard, 2 shirts, 2 hats, about 100 sticks, and Alex's autograph.
He never said anything about ruining them, he said so they give off more sustain...
Que lokooooooooooooooooooooooo veiiiiiiiiiiiiii....
what are your thoughts on Aaron Gillespie?
Does anyone have any clue of what specific heads he's using all around his kit?
what's golden eagle? if you don't mind my asking.
Does anyone know what throne he is using? It's fricken huge and I want to order it.
wow
oooor, the sound guy/s would have told him to tighten up the stands because the venue had a lot of reverb (which it sounds like in the clip), which makes cymbals sound, well, like they have lots of reverb on them, which would sound shit from how much sustain his cymbals have when they're not as tight. basically it would have sounded overly 'washy' out foh and thats no good. And a tight or loose ride will always have a ping. Also, mics+mixer just gives volume not sustain as your comment states...
im gonna test the stagg - thanks dude
What ride is he using?
I like how someone said its mixed horribly
This isn't mixed, this is a camera video..
This is the only video of him ive seen where he does no stick ricks (that i noticed). Damn he was in the fucking zone
กลองสวยมากครับ
someone tell me the sticking pattern of the fill he does at 1:06
RL RL KK down the toms
Yeah! But if you want a cheaper alternative, I use a stagg 19" DH china. I've tested a few of them against a few different 18" orientals, and in my opinion, it sounds about the same at about half the price. And I've had mine for almost 2 years now. (That's playing it for an average of 3 hours a day, plus shows)
Sadly I agree with you. Its what the genera is really. Its what you'd expect to hear when its played. I know this is a bad comparison, But Take ABR and TIJ, Matt and Adam, when you listen to the songs from them, you Don't expect there drums at all. They take the lead in the songs in my opinion.
does somebody know which china he plays ?
Whats a golden eagle?
When the smoke machines kick in it sounds like Alex is playing on the loudest, thrashiest china of all time. Does anyone know what he triggers when he hits the electric pad at the start of each chorus?
Bro smacks the SHIT out of them cymbals. Idk how they even last a set.0
Neither did I?
cymbals durability for Alex: 1 or 2 shows hahahaha
is he using a metronome?
if so props because drummers love to speed up
Almost every drummer on this level will. It's required for the backing tracks and synchronized lights
Alex moves from company to company, first Truth and Meinl, now SJC and Zildjian.
Is that china a 16?
yes, it is a 16 inch china
Only 1 dislike? ......the trolls must be sleeping
Whats the china?
thanks, guess its one of the best - nearly everybody uses it
yeah I definitely agree with how they take lead in their songs. I'm sure Aaron is like that for his own genre, but I personally think Attack Attack's drummer from Someday Came Suddenly is much more interesting than him lol
is it? is it really? you do realize mixing and mastering are done while being recorded right? this is live
Mixing happens live too 🙄
i thought he played truth drums..?
quantity over quality? every drummer i have talked to that has sjc is completely satisfied with the drums.
Damn they always rush the tempo when playing live and it throws me off a little bit lol the ONLY time I saw them live it was so rushed I couldn’t enjoy it
Well this wasn’t in Harry’s code …
Playable
Ladies and Gentlemen, Maturity at its finest.
OM&M is one of my favorite bands. They have carried the flame and rose the bar. AA should not be called AA anymore to me. Same with Guns N Roses. Its just Axl Rose and a band. I hate the music industry sometimes.
looks like loads of beach balls fly out of his china at 0:47
it always seems like they run that too fast..but it was still sick
dat bass pad
maybe he doesn't want them to ring out...
Guy is a great drummer, but he should loosen those stands a little this way the cymbal has a little more sustain. Just saying
