mistahwolfie: I own a pair of 15” hi-hats, made by Zildjian in the 60’s, and I just got a small crack in one of the cymbals. I’d say it’s not the brand, but how you play the cymbals that matter. I play with very cheap Millenium cymbals, and I hit hard and play with big sticks, and they’ve lasted quite some time now.
Sometimes it just mesmerizes ya. I remember seeing Cryptopsy and Disavowed on stage (separate venues, 2004/5 and 2007), and being completely focused on what Mounier and Goulon were doing.
My introduction to them was a joke video they made but then spotify recommended "the lucid collective" to me and I was immediately blown away, I have never had such a surprised and energetic reaction to a band before so this was a breath of fresh air
Someone get this guy some stouter cymbals, got the same China with the same cracks and torn out pieces. Crazy technical style, and he is a beast with that snare.
At first I thought he was getting help with electronic backing. Then I saw this amongst a few other videos and realised he's the real deal. Insanely talented, as are the rest of the band.
I saw Archspire with my husband who is a drummer of 40 years . His jaw dropped when he watched Spencer Prewett . An amazing talent . The Dennis Chambers of Technical Death Metal.
this is the best band I never heard for 25 years listenning brutal metal ! the most innovant,the most technical... those who criticize are too young to understand this music or they just want to hear what they want to hear... ... ... merci les gars pour ces deux albums de ouf ! le prochain,c est pour quand ? MERCI !
For those criticizing Spencer for not being tight; I've heard Cannibal Corpse and Nausea songs running at 2/3 of this song's BPM with much sloppier blast beats and footwork.
I can never understand why the hell CC kept Paul in the band. I dont care if he was a founding member, guy is terrible at the drums and holds the band back as a whole. I can only imagine how much better all the Cannibal Corpse later material would be with a drummer like this. Amazing guitars and bass, then there is Paul the Bum.
also Napalm Death before they hire Danny (to his credit, he's much tighter than Mick, although him joining the band made their tempo become all over the place)
if it's not tight, it's not tight. a million other bands also don't play tight but that doesn't make it any better. if your not tight live maybe it's time to step a bit down on the gas. I don't blame the guy though. this stuff is so fast that it's really hard to groove with it but yeah, maybe a bit less speed would make it a whole lot better, at least live
Have you people that commented negative things about the drummer all lost your senses???? I admit that singer or whatever he does I am not sure what to call him needs to be quiet. The drummer is amazing!!! He is the best drummer that I have seen and heard by far. If you think there is a better drummer let me know. Drummers are driven by passion. It is what makes them who they are. They are the core of any band. I could not pretend to be that good. Can any of you naysayers do what he can do. Send me a video because I would certainly love to see it.
+DeAnn Young You may not appreciate the vocal talent this lead singer has but he is the best in the TDM game, in terms of speed and clarity. This whole band is fucking sick
shane venturi I did not mean to offend you and do not mean to offend you now but this is my opinion, I have seen a 9 year old girl or something close to that age perform on one of those talent shows that is so much better than him. He hardly sings. The bass player and guitarists are performing at such a low level that I think that they should be replaced. The only one with any real talent is the drummer who is so I incredibly amazing and the best that I have ever seen or heard. He should be with others who can keep up with him. He needs to upgrade. I have been around enough bands to know talent regarding musical genre when I see it. Again no offense to you. This is just my opinion and I am sorry if my opinion upsets you.
+DeAnn Young Well that is your opinion lol. This band is extremely talented, I have seen them live twice and they absolutely slaw. The reason why the vocalist sounds bad is because the audio is focusing on the drummer. The vocalist is actually extremely good live!
Technical Death Metal is not for everybody, but even if you don't like this type of metal, you have to agree that these guys are fucking talented, they've made it this far and keep getting better and faster. Spencer is from another planet of galaxy, he is just not from Earth! It's all jazz... just at 350 bpm!!!! They are amazing live and cool as fuck off the stage! If you don't like it, then navigate your ass to whatever page it is you like and stop leaving negative comments, leave positive comments where you like the stuff. This guys work hard as fuck to make a living and stay in business, give them some respect! \m/ \m/
I know harmony very well , i study in the conservatory of Liège and i know very unconventional and experimental types of music. Technical does not mean jazz.. technical does not mean good. And there's no harmony because they don't play any chords (maybe some power chords and 7th diminished, that's all). Rhythmically it's fast but not so complex.
what a fucking LEGEND!!!!!!!! i know its not about whos the best but through out the years i see people like Aaron Kitcher, Francesco Paoli, David Diepold, Matt Gartstka, and then THIS fucking cyborg, i love it
good composition and killer drumming. seems annoying to play live as a drummer, too busy and demanding to get into a groove and just enjoy yourself. he's very sick though.
Trust me, as a person that once played drums at what at that time was considered killer pace (now in technical death metal circles it's like 4 beat rock!) it's fucking awesome. Nothing gives you a bigger kick than getting people to wonder how you did that or played something that fast. And it's also what pushes the boundaries too. You can see he's well within his capabilities, he's enjoying it and this is his "rocking out". Which for me to achieve now would require more limbs than an octopus.
LOL can't believe people have made fun of Archspire to me. Like what the fuck. You probably would never be willing to get good like these guys. "O but it's like rap and metal and super extreme" Yes, yes it is.
I was thinking the same thing, He's actually being very tight. If he's sloppy in some parts it's a momentary thing, his playing is spot on over 90% of the video.
I never tought i'd say this but this band is too technical and too good to be playing live...I mean you'd need the most amazing sound engineer with the most amazing sound setup for the crowd to actually hear every single detail these guys are playing and even then you wouldn't get every single sound and note wich actually makes this music so good and complex.
Everyone there acted like I did when I first heard them. "What the fuck just happened 😳???" 🤣... it takes a minute to process these guys, but definitely on another level🤘🔥
I really want to hear the studio version of this. Has anyone heard when it's being released. I was at the last Denver show right before they recorded it, so I assume it's long done, right?
I have to say that probably my favourite part about tech death is that I have yet to see a big tech death band do anything but absolutely nail every single note on every live show. As much as I love other subgenres, only Meshuggah and tech death bands deliver this good live.
This video makes me stressed. :D His arms are moving so much around the kit all the time I would have lost drumsticks 5000 times after 30 seconds if I even considered playing in this style. Respect.
@@raymondbauer2152 thank you! I actually found a video of him talking about his kit and technique. In it he said he was never able to get swivel to work for him so you right
![Archspire - Rapid Elemental Dissolve [Live in Montreal]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3SqWJFh3da8/mqdefault.jpg)
the way he strikes each cymbal with precision at the beginning while maintaining that gravity blast is so fucking sick.
Awesome to see SickDrummer giving beginner drummers like this guy some exposure!!!
He rounds the china to avoid the hitting on the broken part so many times it looks like a part of the playthrough. That's like trying to run with a ball chained on your foot, just for the challenge, and he nail it.
I've programmed drums this fast as a joke, now I can use them in songs cuz it's humanly possible. Hot damn
Secret Ingredient: Maple Syrup
I did that by mistake with 320bpm instead of 120 when a boy some 30+years ago, and you are right, now I see this is feasible
Possible with the use of triggers, not natural.
@@dankesling1888 Triggers don't make you play faster or better. No technology can do that except practice. Triggers can only serve as a dynamics killer or something in the studio that can be used to give the illusion that you're playing better.

That poor Zildjian china.
+mistahwolfie that's what zildjians do best.
+drumsnbikes
whenever I see zildjian I think "never again"
drumsnbikes It is funny, because you see the other cymbals which are Sabian and the only one broken is that Zildjian.
IT DIED A NOBLE DEATH

Who the hell is gonna replace this guy?
Really don't know but my money is on Meg White thus far.
Lord Marco, hopefully. 😉
Me after an 8 ball
Kevin paradis?
Porque ele saiu da banda?
I’ve replaced trying to headbang to this with just leaving my mouth gaping open with amazement.
I was searching for something to say about this vid, but was speechless. You kinda nailed it for me.
That's what I did the first time I saw these guys, and especially Beyond Creation, live. Just gobsmacked.
Sometimes it just mesmerizes ya. I remember seeing Cryptopsy and Disavowed on stage (separate venues, 2004/5 and 2007), and being completely focused on what Mounier and Goulon were doing.
I never used to like these guys, but God damn, the more I listen the more I'm blown away
You guys are joking right??
I think i like them.
My introduction to them was a joke video they made but then spotify recommended "the lucid collective" to me and I was immediately blown away, I have never had such a surprised and energetic reaction to a band before so this was a breath of fresh air
Even if you don't like them, I feel like everyone appreciates their technical ability.
@@amazingmato right,it's not my type of deathmetal but i'm going to see them cause they are a great band
The drummer is not sick, the whole band is sick. Awesome crazy shit goin on here.
If they play this well while sick, imagine if they were all healthy. They would be an unstopable force.
I like this band, absolutely killer drum work.
My favourite SatanBands Archspire, Mayhem, Impiety 😈😈😈😈
Man this guy hits every cymbal unique style
This tour, Archspire opened for Aborted. Here in 2024 I'm about to see Aborted open for Archspire!

And he has a good amount of power

i like how the cymbals are all different manufactures,
the most difficult part for him 4:50
The fact that he's playing this crazy shit and there is still a good amount of clarity and volume is mind blowing.
“SICK” Drummer doesn’t even begin to describe Spencer’s ability.

An amazing talent . The Dennis Chambers of Technical Death Metal.
It’s going to be amazing to see who replaces him now.

Love it
7 years ago!
O my FG!!! 🤯
I just found this band, and holy shit this is great.
I checked out their album relentless mutation and it's perfect prog tech death in my opinion. Glad I finally checked them out!
That's a very polite gravity blast. Pinky out!
I don't care about the haters. I fucking love archspire. Anyone that loves death metal could appreciate and respect their unbelievable talents.
When I first heard these guys I thought they were fake.
That’s like the ultimate compliment
this guy is from another planet
But can he play 'We Will Rock You' by the brutal band Queen? I don't think so
He's busy mastering "War Pigs" right now.
Nope, I saw him fumble Back n Black once too !
absolutely incredible drumming
What a machine...
2015 was a very good year for drum cams
Mai sentito e mai visto niente del genere! !!!! Ispirato, grazie
The camera works are awesome 💯
Someone please give this man a goddamn cymbal endorsement.

From what planet did this guy come from?
Same one as Morgan Agren, Thomas Haake, Riccardo Merlini, Buddy Rich etc maybe? Haha

Gatlingman :) The coolest drummer!
sikk style.
Somewhat in the Flo direction of things..
Damn homeboy on bass is caked tf up
So anyway,I start blasting
whats wrong with the crowd?
Lame crowd
He is a god amongst men.
His name is Spencer of Course He Is Amazing
Cymbals live in fear of this man.
Wow... Speed, precision and stamina.... Superhuman level....

I was thinking the same thing, He's actually being very tight. If he's sloppy in some parts it's a momentary thing, his playing is spot on over 90% of the video.
When you play upwards of 300 BPM, nothing sounds tight. Player inefficiency, or ensemble error for performing too fast? You deicide.
I just watched the video again to get a fresh perspective and to be fair the drummer is being Very Very tight.
Don't play so fast so. For me is a nonsense playing. Speed for the only sake of speed is quite ...boring.
Rupe Torres dude... it's a tech death band, it's not supposed to be slow
Impressive left hand technique. He is almost brushing that Snare
People drool over dudes like estipario etc but Spencer’s just here like “must.go.fast.”

This is so good.

When you listen to him for a while, somehow a "regular" blast seems slow.

thank god i'm a fan of power playing
this drumming is so absurd that i was just sitting here cackling.
So incredible playing
Nice china dude What model ? 😅
what it has for hi-hat stand? She looks not standard. How this work?
its a remote hi hat so the pedal can be placed anywhere
