- Just back from Benighted Canadian tour, which was a true blast, and I decided to try some Archspire. I have learn 3 songs during the tour and begun to learn a 4th one. Today I have recorded A.U.M and work on an other one behind the kit. I'll shot this one later as I wanted to make some stuff tighter. And I will try to shot in video the 4 songs that I have in mind. So well, 3 to go. Do I have a chance ? I don't really think so but there is only something to earn to work on songs anyway !
In the meantime, if you wanna reach me to record drums for you, please send email to contact@kevinparadisdrumming.com

Fuck YES, Kevin!! This is amazing
Make a video checking out all the different auditions!
@66Samus : Do check out Wildy Souza 🔥 That Brazilian dude just blew my socks off. He's like... Eloy Casagrande of extreme metal drumming 😶 Played Doppelgänger by Archspire.
Make a cover of this cover using adult toys instead of sticks
Ohhhh yurrrrrr!

Easiest decision a band could make!
indeed, one of the best most consistent extreme drummers around for the most extreme band around, such hard choices!
Unfortuantely it isnt, being able to play their songs is one thing. Being a great fit to all the other bandmates, the crew that they have, (and the fans) and being able to tour together for weeks and not smash each others skulls is easily the hardest part in choosing the right person for the job. You just dont want to go through the whole process just to figure out the playing is their but the match isn’t it so right after putting all the money down for all the promotion of “the new player”, all the time invested, you need to dismiss and do it all over again. Very underestimated. Can he play? YES 🤟🏼
@@Jaap-Relou Plus it is Kevin Paradis full time job as i understood. So i don't know if the band is hiring, or just use the search for a new drummer as an opportunity to have free exposition and find a free drummer. But if the band hire and pay a drummer, Kevin is a legitimate and logical choice
@@OtwanD...lol, what?
@@Jaap-Relouthen i would even more go for an established figure used to touring and being a professional.
So i dont really get the point you are trying to make
A COMPLETE playthrough from start to finish in ONE TAKE with no jump cuts… what a menace. Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is the man for the job.
Srsly tho 🔥
Wildy Souza has a thing to say on that one. That guy is just... phenomenal 🔥
No jump cuts, the only trigger is on the kick, and it is patently obvious that it's not edited because that's what a snare actually sounds like when you hit it like that.
Obviously best playthrough of an Archspire song so far.

Gravity blast on the side stick is wild
Let's mention and appreciate the fact this guy dressed nice for this audition - as you would if you were going to a job interview...
Dress for the job you want not the job you have 🦾
I mean, it's sort of a job application, so I get the nice shirt.
How he always looks
Dude even got his CV prepped, he is serious
A button up isnt "dressed nice". Some people litreally just wear that.
And if youre wearing jeans, you're also not "dressed nice"
I love how he has the portfolio at the beginning is such a cool and straightforward ❤
Even Mr. Paradis couldn't resist them double strokes for this song.
I had to rewind a couple of times. Gotta be due to gravity rolls.
@@Lupine. I think he just wanted to show off some doubles as Kevin definitely doesn't need them for a 200 BPM song. God, he doesn't even need them for a 280 BPM one actually lmao
Well you can't control your hi-hat pedals to make open/close accent if you play single stroke, you need heel up double strokes
@@kevinparadisdrummerthat is an insane detail i didnt even notice, even on my 4th watch! Just based on that kinda attention to the fine things archspire should hire you, honestly.
Here it is boys ... Kevin's thrown his hat in the ring ... Time will only tell now ... 🙌
The freshest kicks on the tightest kicks
The look, the feel, the chops, and making it look effortless! This has to be the best all-around audition I have seen. I have watched them all Abby!
You're the dude for the job. No doubt! Pretty much the only person I thought of when the news broke they were looking for a drummer.
Instant front runner. The only other person I heard recommended who is even close is Lord Marco but as far as I've seen he's only done a really quick audition on a livestream.
@@Nefville Marco is a good drummer but I question certain videos he's put out. I'm just going to leave it at that.
@@Jeffmetal42 Oh I know exactly what you mean. I remember a Rings of Saturn video that definitely made me raise an eyebrow. I really hope Kevin gets it.
@@Nefville yup, that's the main one I question. Def hoping Kev gets the gig, probably helps too that they've toured w him so they have an idea of how he is as a person
@@Jeffmetal42 Haha funny you mention this the day Mike Caputo uploads an interesting video on the subject.
Knew this was coming.
Still blown away.
Great job!
only one word. MINDBLOWING.
Unlike the other drum auditions…this one is actually real!
When I was thinking of who could replace Spencer, you were the first name that crossed my mind.
First drummer that came to my mind when the news broke!
It's been really cool seeing all these amazing players come out of no where with these covers/audition videos. But Kevin is the man for the job plain and simple. I've been waiting for him to upload his video and it did not disappoint. Simply badass 🤘🤘
The clear choice. There was never any doubt. Agreed, the professionalism and approachability that radiate from Archspire's members is very forthcoming.
By far the most natural looking audition. You get my vote sir.
Awesome. Love how it’s clearly human. Doesn’t sound sped up or quantized like a handful of the other videos I’ve seen.
Bro, if you don't have a chance, no one does. You are the PERFECT fit. Don't limit yourself. Embrace how excellent you are and let it show. Can't wait to see you on the next Archspire tour/album.
100% the best cover yet. Everyone else just looks.... So much more in pain than you did.
This is the most relaxed and effortless performance of Archspire song I've ever seen:
th-cam.com/video/phiNdaFyKfw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MnerUft-HkFEBaJr
That's it. No point in waiting for other videos. The man just posted. No one can better do the job than Kevin. Congrats on your new job 😊
Who knew the IT guy from your office could blast like that!
What an animal. Archspire....you found him.
Kevin is obviously the right man for this job.
best possible choice, professionnaly and humanly!
I’ve been watching all of the auditions in awe and this is by far the cleanest.
Hitting the stick with the stick blew my mind. How haven't I seen or done that?
This is the best one yet. Easily.
I expected nothing less than perfection and you delivered on one of their hardest songs.
Killer!!!
I don't know if this is the hardest ? To me it was the nearest of what I have done in Benighted "Nothing Left To Fear", so I thought it was the best one to begin with.
@@kevinparadisdrummer Other drummers are saying it is, I dunno...your cover was flawless.
@@craigstrickland1572It depends on your skillset
@@craigstrickland1572Its gotta be Lucid Collective Somnambulation. A.U.M. is fast but its quick, LCS is a marathon of divine cymbal work its so hard ;_;
a CV and everything, great job
This is the best #archspireaudition i've seen so far
Go and see Wildy Souza 🔥
Easily the best audition vid I've seen so far. Super clean, excellent technique. And you've got the experience and touring chops to prove you're not just a studio guy. 100% the best choice the band could make.
And there it is, folks: the next drummer of Archspire.
I kinda feel bad for the other dude with blonde hair that has done like all the songs lol
Saw him last Sunday in Toronto with Benighted. I knew right away he was one of the few who rightfully can play for Archspire
Holy hell, man. Absolutely nailed it. Incredible.
Accuracy + Economy. I think Spencer would approve
It's over - been really cool to see talented drummers coming out the woodwork to audition, but Kevin is the man for the job.
Kevin is such a beast on the kit. So clean and his technique is superb!
He IS the MACHINE!!! Definitely not human!
Brother, your technique alone makes my jaw drop! Clean, no straining or tensing up, those hands can blast my beats any day 🙌🏼
he's gotta be in the top 3 so far. good luck dude
Best audition for Archspire I’ve seen but it was never in doubt with the best drummer out there. It was so perfect and sounded like it was from the record. I even got tears in my eyes from how beautiful it was. But this has me quite torn. Please Kevin, don’t leave Benighted.
YES BROTHER! I knew this day would come I’m so happy!
Man the stress of having to learn the whole discography would be insane!
I love how Kevin is always dressed in formals while doing a drum audition just like me doing interviews
Yesssss beautiful unedited cover!! Absolutely impressive!!
sounded great, great fidelity too
As some one who tries to play drums(I'm no where the skill as these drummers) and watching a lot of the archspire auditions on here and there as been some great ones. This is my favorite. Kevin is a beast and the vibe I got makes me want him to be in archspire. Oli, Jared, Tobi, Dean...Kevin is your man #archspire #staytech
OMG I cannot believe you're throwing your hat in the ring. That is awesome!!! I haven't seen everyone who has but at least the ones I've seen, you are by far the most accomplished and capable of playing this stuff live day in and day out. Your resume speaks for itself. Good luck, I really hope its you!
Hell yes, this is perfect. If you do get the gig it'll be well deserved. Amazing job as usual Kevin!
Go birds 😂
Go birds ! You're a beast Alex, can't wait to witness your bright future !
Hire this man! His work on NeO should speak for itself. Dude is a legend.
by far the best tone and most accurate drumming ive seen yet
this would be an excellent pick, archspire
Best one I have seen yet! Well done
making a huge change in the game in my opinion. this is raising the bar for sure
there it is, least unexpected entry into the archspire audition lol. sick shit!
Well Kevin, if they ain t select you this is because you are too iconic. you are a legend my man, absolutely crazy.
Ladies and gentlemen your winner , by a literal country mile 😂😂
Nice to see a drummer who doesn't speed up his videos and can actually play the material. Hope you get the gig.
Thats about a 99% on Rock band, if that game had nightmare difficulty, beautifully played 😉
T’es un malade! Tu serais un parfait ajout au groupe! 🤌🏼
Yeah, Archspire needs to see this
Flawless, as always!
Easily in the top 5 drum auditions I've watched so far.
Kevin tu viens mettre des paillettes dans ma vie. The right man for the job.
Bon on ne vas pas se mentir Kevin avec cette audition le groupe serait complètement à côté de la plaque de ne pas te retenir ! Bravo
Holy cow man...
Can't say more.
Santé du sud ! 🍻
Give this man the job!!!! 🤘
I just saw you live the other night with Benighted dude, and then you go ahead and post this?!? HOLY SHIT. Without a doubt you are a number one contender for the job.
Oh damn. The Final Boss just entered the chat
Based and Paradis pilled.
I love how one of his weaknesses is being French lmaooo. Kevin's definitely the man jor the job
TABARNAK! T'as mon vote!!!!!!!
Holy shit that double bass
I haven’t watched any other auditions, but I don’t know why they wouldn’t pick you. You’re definitely qualified!
You deserve the throne behind the kit... Please #archspire HIRE THIS GUY!!!
I've said it before... this man is the best
This is easily the best audition I've seen so far!
Yeah, this application will be approved.. Crazy tight and clean!
I gotta say. This may be my favorite so far. You killed it, sir.
This is it. It must be it. Behold! The new drummer of Archspire. 🏆
A combination of one of my favorite songs played by one of my favorite drummers. Even if you don’t end up getting the job, this video was a treat.
Now that's what a professional looks like.
These cymbals sound heavenly. Kevin, top 3 for this audition.
Absolutely insane
Full album please
Stay tech dude
Aster at work. Flawless!
You’re miles ahead the second best auditioner. IMHO job should be yours, legendary audition!
J'attendais cette vidéo depuis l'annonce de Archspire... juste magnifique
Hey an audition for Archspire where the hits on the video match the audio! That was clean, and as a drummer myself I can appreciate the time you had to put in to nail this.
I've watched probably 30 of the auditions and I was just waiting for yours. Your resume as a touring or session drummer pretty much seals the deal.
Your technique is amazing!
Godlike Big Kev. Top 5 dead or alive.
Best audition I've seen yet. Amazing
Experienced, versatile, talented, hard working... There's no question Kevin would be the best possible replacement. Good luck brother!
Просто лучший! пушка бомба гонка!
Only drummer capable of replacing spencer. No cap. No fake lord marco, no bullshit. Just plain kickass drumming
You are an absolute monster Kevin. They’d be lucky to have you
First bloke i thought of when i heard they were auditioning. Strongest contender out there imo!
I came here to like the video after watching it on my TV. Ended up watching it all the way through again. You are a skilled dude. I applaud you!
