Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to check this out and share feed back, I appreciate you guys very much. There's a lot more to come, cheers everyone! :D
RegenSRL really? You're comparing the rev to Alex? The rev was a good drummer, sure, but not that great. I feel like people just praise him because he's dead, otherwise he'd just be another decent drummer
Mr. NoName 606 now if Matt doesn't find a reason to fire him, and say he was a "session's" musician. Or just fire him! Since Travis, they have yet to accept that THEY need to let the "new guy" stop being new, and be family!
hello i came from the future and they keep alex for their newest album, and every single song, and i mean EVERY SINGLE SONG in What The Dead Men Say is so good that it's really hard to pick a favorite. they've found their ground again with Alex
Every note calculated. Trivium is a great band, and Alex takes them to the next level. No wasted spaces, no filler, always tight! Really enjoying your patterns man
Outstanding! You deserve all the success that comes your way Alex. Been a Trivium fan for a long while and I can't remember a time where they put the spotlight on the drummer as much as they have with you. Cheers for breathing new life into this kick ass band!
I come back to this video all the time and honestly I haven’t seen a metal drummer wow me like this since I first heard Chris Adler. First heard him on Ashes of the wake, then Sacrament and got my mind blown. But Alex, to me is just that next level of drumming.
You are an absolute beast. I started listening to you guys about a month ago, maybe a little over, and I couldn’t believe the drumming, unreal. The Sin and Sentence album is insane.
he's thanking us while we should be thankful for him for existing in this world, thanks for your massive skills you have man all respect to you thanks for being in Trivium
My gawd...the technique...the expert use of all symbols...the constant change in tempo...the blasts...the double kick!! I'm stunned! He is definitely in my top 5 favorite drummers! And for Trivium itself...best metal band in the last 15 years...period! I love you guys!! Thank you so much for making metal awesome for me again and thank you guys for bringing back real art to the music you make!!
OMFG! You're the most intense and accurate drummer I have seen in a while. This comes from a drummer to a beast drummer. Keep up the good work, you're amazing dude!
The thing I think I love most about this is look at the drum setup: 1. Not too crazy in terms of cymbals and drums. 2 BD, 1 SD, 2 Toms, and 1 FT. There are quite a few cymbals, but I've seen some drummers who use even more. 2. No cymbal is left neglected. Variety is amazing. 3. Everything is really open but not too far apart. After seeing this I am inspired to know Alex gets this much technical complexity out of a tasteful build like this. So almost anyone with enough practice can play these songs. Such a legend.
Damn! It’s really impressive how you can keep perfect time through those double time beats with the double kicks, upbeat snares, and rides accenting the guitar riffs.
I'm straight awestruck. This makes me sad that illness caused me to have to give up my miniscule experience with drumming...I can however air drum my heart out to the new album. Hell yes!
Right when I thought we've all have seen the best drummers in the world. Here come's this guy, thank you for your dedication to let us know there is another level we can achieve.
Man, Alex Bent was like a stone in the glove of Thanos, it fits perfectly and was meant to be. It's incredible how well his drumming allows entirely new level of songwriting for Trivium.
Alex Bent see if you can find the original Z mega bell ride. Dude, your drumming is just mind blowing. I envy you, you're a year older than me and you get to drum with some of my teenage heroes. Kudos to you pal
those double kicks....and that speed...))) im still building my stamina. can I ask what angles your legs are? I find keeping my feet further back gets my speed up but cant go for long????
Thee most technically impressive drummer ive ever seen. Everything is just so clean. All your hard work has most certainly paid off man. Congratulations
That one foot bass drum at 3:40 is probably not human, and if it is, it's definitely not allowed. That being said, I've loved Trivium for many years, and this album slays all. It combines the best elements of all the earlier albums, and tops it off with the drummer to end all drummers. Watching this shit has me in disbelief over how casual Alex seems, and then I remember the videos from the studio where Alex says "yeah, no problem" to everything that is asked of him before recording it flawlessly on the first or second go. Hats off to this man.
Dominic Sanchez this is Busch league psych out bullshit.. it's laughable. Pretty sure you were referencing Big Lebowski there, although it was a little changed.
I wan't more of these videos. I can't remember the last time i was so astonished from any drummer of trivium. I hope you stay in the band. Sir, you're a freakin monster!
Alex bent is the new kind of metal drummer with a style that no one has ever heard before. He's taking stuff from the dawn of this s type of metal drums to a whole new level. He's fucking phenomenal!!! And!!! He barely breaks a sweat doing it
Fucking SAVAGE!! You saved Trivium! ESPECIALLY playing the old songs live. It sounds like Trivium again!! Not rushing the songs and keeping them tight. THANK YOU!
2 snare hits, 4 rides, 2 snare, 4 rides, 2 snare, 2 rides, repeat with double bass pedals throughout. Replace the final 2 snare and ride hits with a roll down the toms to end the bar.
Dear Alex, Please inseminate my girlfriend. She needs your drumming seed of life. I shall teach my spawn blast beats when he turns 3. I shall become a drum god vicariously through your seed.
Alex, I love the way you use your splashes man! Just adds that extra little bit of spice to the top without going overboard and I can't think of anybody else that uses them as effectively as you do! Great work on these vids from an epic album!
WOW Bro SPLIT OF THE BENT I DESIRE YOU FOREVER GOOD VIBES WHO CREATE LIES IS A BETRAYER WHO RELATE MEMORIES IS A GOD VERSUS BEGGINER YES I WRITE LYRICS BRO! @edersonwarlock instagram
This song may well be a masterpiece, no lie. I've been a fan of Trivium since Ember to Inferno and I honestly have no words for how absolutely "next level" this new album is. Alex I truly believe that you, my friend, are the key to that..Just phenomenal.
You have some serious, SERIOUS skills. Glad Matt & the other guys have welcomed you in. One of the most effortless drummers I've seen, and for your age, truly mind boggling. Not just a drummer, but one with some serious feel and musicality.
This guy is a GENIUS!! And behold the technique, the fluidity, the precision... How the hell can he remember all of those filled drumlines (and those from other songs) is beyond my comprehension
Hey Alex, as someone whos been a fan of trivium longer than I haven’t been, and seen them with every drummer they’ve ever had, you hands down nail the position. It’s a refreshing thing to see someone who’s got new ideas for them and play soo effortlessly. Keep up the good work man. Welcome to the family. Very stoked to hear your playing on this release.
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to check this out and share feed back, I appreciate you guys very much. There's a lot more to come, cheers everyone! :D
drum playthrough for beyond oblivion!
swiftie novel stay tuned 😉
This is fucking awsome
You rock
Bigger thanks to you for being a part of Trivium! New album is pure gold. Cheers!
You're not allowed to leave this band. Seriously some of the best drumming I've heard since The Rev.
RegenSRL didn't you listen to the new a7x stuff, new drummer kicks ass , as well =]
Berk Uzdoğan Yeboi, it’s Brooks flipping Wackerman on the drums. Never been a fan of them until that record came out
Brooks is a beast too
RegenSRL really? You're comparing the rev to Alex? The rev was a good drummer, sure, but not that great. I feel like people just praise him because he's dead, otherwise he'd just be another decent drummer
My thoughts exactly...
Jesus Christ man!
Josh Steffen can we see you do a cover of this Josh?! 🤘🏼
Even Josh is amazed! 😂🤘🏼
we have to see you cover the new trivium album dude come on!
we meet again Josh
Can you play this Josh? :D
Damn he looks so relaxed like hes doing grocery shopping..
Goldenboy0627 lol it's true though
I want to do grocery shopping like this. :p
Goldenboy0627 dude i though exactly the same. This is the most chill drummer Trivium ever had.
just grabbing what you need off the shelves at breakneck speed! :')
His body is in auto mode while his head is thinking: "hmm spaghetti Bolognese or chicken parmesan tonight ??" Lol
Alex Bent is the real fucken deal. He made that look effortless. Unbelievable
RaisedTalent12 cause it is for him
‘’if you could have one super power what would it be?’’
person1 - i want to fly
person2 - i want to read minds
me: *shows this video*
Dr. Jimbo Keep praticing no need of super power ;)
Dr. Jimbo be fast on the dobble peddel like alex 🙏
My answer: play the battery like Alex
Alex Bent, ladies and gentlemen! Remember that name because it is going to be written in the history of music!
Trivium is a very lucky band
That was majestic.
VΞGΛEidolon cannot disagree
2 dislikes?! LOL... Travis and Nick hahahaha!
Chris Laib Maybe Madiro and Wandtke hajajaj
Chris Lai
if someone were to dislike it it'd be paul since travis left on good terms. nice try at attempting to be funny though
there was no good terms with travis about his departure..
2:13 When you enter the kitchen and smell lasagna...
Antonio Quirós i felled off my chair reading this comment
Gold
Best comment yet.
hahahahahasHASDHA
Why did this actually make me laugh xD
Gosh you're one hell of a beast dude! You definitely are the right man for Trivium!
Mr. NoName 606 now if Matt doesn't find a reason to fire him, and say he was a "session's" musician. Or just fire him! Since Travis, they have yet to accept that THEY need to let the "new guy" stop being new, and be family!
Sţëvë Bëţţčhëř They have welcomed me with open arms
Alex Bent
Alex Bent
My
I swear if Trivium is all like "Oh we don't share the same ideas anymore, Alex had to be let go" bruh I'll lose my shet.
hello i came from the future and they keep alex for their newest album, and every single song, and i mean EVERY SINGLE SONG in What The Dead Men Say is so good that it's really hard to pick a favorite. they've found their ground again with Alex
Hello I'm also from the future too, they keep him and their making a new album
yooooo.......its the future again! The new album In The Court Of The Dragon SLAPS....... especially from a drummers perspective!
I come way ahead from the future and Alex has become part of the family ❤
I love you guys
It's so satisfying to watch him play
So nonchalant ... "here let me slay this drum part like nothing. What's for lunch guys?"
Awesome.
This is so damn awesome. You make it look effortless. 🤘
Awesome, dude!
Every note calculated. Trivium is a great band, and Alex takes them to the next level. No wasted spaces, no filler, always tight! Really enjoying your patterns man

Sick as always! Looking forward to see you play on the next EU run :)
GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH triviums best drummer ever! could you cover pull harder? and maybe throes??
It's great to see another amazing musician who can keep up with the rest of Trivium.
You are an absolute beast. I started listening to you guys about a month ago, maybe a little over, and I couldn’t believe the drumming, unreal. The Sin and Sentence album is insane.

How are those snare-hits at 2:03 so clean, you don't even miss 1 beat! That's insane.
You're amazing Alex. Huge props.
I see something new every time I watch his playthroughs, this was another one...
I've probably watched this over 10 times now. Inspirational drumming to say the least.
OMFG! You're the most intense and accurate drummer I have seen in a while. This comes from a drummer to a beast drummer.
Keep up the good work, you're amazing dude!

I cant wait to see this GOD live
Trivium has always had great drummers but Alex takes it to the next level, amazing skill! Hope he plays with Trivium for years to come
I'm straight awestruck. This makes me sad that illness caused me to have to give up my miniscule experience with drumming...I can however air drum my heart out to the new album. Hell yes!
Right when I thought we've all have seen the best drummers in the world. Here come's this guy, thank you for your dedication to let us know there is another level we can achieve.
The Tom/China work in the first verse made balls melt.
I love alex's charisma, humble dude, relaxed and AWESOME
Congrats on everything dude! Play-through looks really good!
Thanks man, can't wait for the new Deeds of Flesh album

Drummers like this is the reason i consider taking on drums
Man you're just so chill and humble!
Trivium drum machine AlexB activated ! :)
Trivium's best drummer, ever!!!! I've followed for 22+ years., one of my favorite drummers. Mr. Alex Bent🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me Bent you are diabolic. You record an álbum that no one will be able to play if you leave the band. Well played.
You are 100% the best drummer Trivium could have wished for and needed!
Right man for Trivium!
Hey man i saw a video of you playing live and had to check out your drumming on video. Your really good man respect
Beastmode
Man, Alex Bent was like a stone in the glove of Thanos, it fits perfectly and was meant to be. It's incredible how well his drumming allows entirely new level of songwriting for Trivium.
We're Not Worthy! We're Not Worthy!
Makes it look so simple. Perfect drummer for Trivium. Adds a whole other dimension to the already awesome sound. Trivium 4 life!
Hate to be the drum nerd but is he using 21” z custom mega bell rides?
James Broady yes sir
Alex Bent cheers bud! Your drumming is on another level! Followed trivium since 2005, can’t wait for the new album.
They used to be Z customs but Zildjian phased them out and made them A's. Thanks man
Alex Bent see if you can find the original Z mega bell ride. Dude, your drumming is just mind blowing. I envy you, you're a year older than me and you get to drum with some of my teenage heroes. Kudos to you pal
Yup
OMFG What a performance 😱 You’re an absolute beast! 🫡🤯
First one!! Damn I'm loving your drum skills
You know you are a god when you got all these famous youtube channels amazed. Even Josh. Good job, this is amazing.
You are god of drums man.
This drum track in particular blows my mind every time i see it. so much skill.
those double kicks....and that speed...))) im still building my stamina. can I ask what angles your legs are? I find keeping my feet further back gets my speed up but cant go for long????

Worth the watch. I hope you stay with Trivium. Mr Bent, you are extremely talented.
I like how he's looking like a noble snob.
Very easygoing playing right there.
The HUMAN machine - Alex Bent !!!!!! Your timing is so spot on even on the fastest beats!!! I miss the old "Drum Off" days watching you play !!!
This is what happens when the neighbors DON'T complain about all that racket
Your my number 1 drummer of all time. Thank you for doing what you do.
It would be more difficult to this guy to miss a beat than it would be to just play the entire song perfectly
Thee most technically impressive drummer ive ever seen. Everything is just so clean. All your hard work has most certainly paid off man. Congratulations
1:58 - 2:08 he's going nuts with that fill-ins
That one foot bass drum at 3:40 is probably not human, and if it is, it's definitely not allowed.
That being said, I've loved Trivium for many years, and this album slays all. It combines the best elements of all the earlier albums, and tops it off with the drummer to end all drummers.

Hats off to this man.
Haraldur Helgason holy shit I never noticed that was with one foot
Definitely not human
George Kollias style kkkkkkkk Alex have technical death metal in his blood...i love it, fits so well in Trivium
Trivium were looking for a drummer, and got a Beast instead !
MASTERPIECE OF WORK!!! YOUR DRUMS IN TRIVIUM'S SONGS ARE THE BEST MAN!!!
Wayne world: "your....amaaazzing dude...."
Aarontheshredder thanks...I like to play
Simply: "WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
Just perfect..it´s a real joy for the heart to watch you playing!
Can't even see the park ya knocked it out of
I've been a drummer for over 20 years, and to see you play this flawlessly...lol I must reevaluate my life. You just reak of awesomeness.
5:44 mins and there wasn't even one drumstick trick, thas the huge difference between a real drummer and a show off clawn
You sir are now my favorite drummer, you make it look easy
You are the Jesus, nobody fucks with the Jesus, nobody.
Dominic Sanchez Ya, I think the Romans and Jews would disagree with you there.
BurnThePope how would they know? They've never seen him? Haha
Dominic Sanchez this is Busch league psych out bullshit.. it's laughable.
Pretty sure you were referencing Big Lebowski there, although it was a little changed.
J Robes haha yep
8 year olds dude
I wan't more of these videos. I can't remember the last time i was so astonished from any drummer of trivium. I hope you stay in the band. Sir, you're a freakin monster!
0:22 Excuse me? WHAT?!?!
that took me more off guard than anything else
Alex bent is the new kind of metal drummer with a style that no one has ever heard before. He's taking stuff from the dawn of this s type of metal drums to a whole new level. He's fucking phenomenal!!! And!!! He barely breaks a sweat doing it
What?! No sheet music?
adam Most drummers in general don't use sheet music
What the fuck? Show me a drummer or any musician for that matter playing with sheet music.
that first 20 second drum intro was absolute godly technique. please stay in Trivium!
Gatdayum
Thanks, Noob Noob!
This guy gets it
Fucking SAVAGE!! You saved Trivium! ESPECIALLY playing the old songs live. It sounds like Trivium again!! Not rushing the songs and keeping them tight. THANK YOU!
3:13
I can never see what is happening.
Playing double rides
2 snare hits, 4 rides, 2 snare, 4 rides, 2 snare, 2 rides, repeat with double bass pedals throughout. Replace the final 2 snare and ride hits with a roll down the toms to end the bar.
@@maryjohnson5377 I still can´t see, but thank you!
Mr Alex Bent you’re the man. Keep slayin
Dear Alex,
Please inseminate my girlfriend. She needs your drumming seed of life.
I shall teach my spawn blast beats when he turns 3. I shall become a drum god vicariously through your seed.

What a beast of a drummer! This album is going to be so good!
Alex god of drums Bent. Amazing man. Can' t wait to see u play live again
This guy is a GENIUS!! And behold the technique, the fluidity, the precision... How the hell can he remember all of those filled drumlines (and those from other songs) is beyond my comprehension
