@@Shadow0fd3ath24 well it's death metal. If you like death metal, his vocals are actually really cool and unique. If you don't like extreme metal vocalists, then I'm sure his voice sounds terrible because it's growling and snarling, not singing
@@sargerobo5792 meh, dude's vocal lines are rhythmically uninspired imo. I just don't like the choices he makes. Also they just don't feel powerful to me. Not all extreme metal fans love all extreme metal vocalists. You talk all condescending as if you are explaining some objective truth. Seems silly. I think a better frontman could help get a little more light on the band, but of course it would be upsetting for the many current diehard fans, so, tough tradeoff in this genre, really.
Although I am not a fan of this particular style of music, this drummer is nothing short of Phenomenal. Anyone whom is dissing him, should take a closer look at themselves. It may look like he's just tapping the bass drums, but he's kickin' it for sure, they are not just taps, and if they are just taps, they are working just fine and so I ain't going to criticize his technique. It's whatever works best for whomever is doing the deed. God Bless, and my hat's off to your drumming Spencer, and I have been drumming for over 40 yrs now, 20 semi-pro and professionally, so I think I just 'might' know a good drummer when I hear and see one. A # 1, stay loose and happy drumming.
For all the people criticizing that he is using triggers and is just tapping, it really wouldn't make any difference if he really pounded the bass drums as the output will be the same as it is triggered. And it is triggered because at that speed, a mic cannot capture all the hits and would ruin the whole thing. He's also tapping IMO to conserve energy which he can use for his hand works. It's pretty clear that he has put in a lot of effort to play the way he does.. So, all the keyboard warriors, either appreciate it or stfu...
Santhosh Srinivasan I agree. It's the same concept as electric guitars. Try playing any kind of metal on an acoustic guitar; it'll sound like shit. Triggers are just like pick-ups on a guitar, no difference. If anything, sloppy technique is more audible through triggers.
+Santhosh Srinivasan You're wasting your breath. They can't really grasp the concept because they read it some where else and really have no clue. Just repeating what someone else said like it actually has merit.
+Santhosh Srinivasan I know your post was super old, but I must respond. Triggers can be set so that every time they go off, they are at the same volume. If this drummer has done that, then he does not have to worry at all about his strokes having dynamic consistency. This gives him a huge advantage over drummers who try to play this fast without triggers. Non-trigger using drummers would have to spend a lot of time not only getting quick, but making it so that every stroke has the right volume. Trigger using drummers can bypass that dynamic difficulty. If this drummer is using uni dynamic triggers, then I doubt he has trained to play with consistent stroke volumes. Thus, if you removed his triggers, his bass drum playing would sound bad (though it may be quick and on time). Thus, some people consider triggers cheating. I don't. If the drummer doesn't mind only being able to have one volume coming from the kick, then they might as well use triggers to improve the sound quality. But a drummer who needs adjustable dynamics can't use uni dynamic triggers. Thus if they want to play fast double bass, they must train to have consistent dynamics, thus being at a disadvantage to trigger users. And I'm pretty sure a mic can pic up all the hits. If you were to mic your speakers with this song playing, the mic would pick up all of the bass drum hits. A mic is thus capable of picking up fast bass drum playing. Mics don't fail to pick up fast bass drum playing... it's just that many drummers play fast double bass so quietly that you (and the mic) can't hear the bass drum. You were relying on the idea that "if he really pounded the bass drums," he would sound similar. But the problem is, he probably can't really pound the bass drum. Not quickly anyway. Dudes still a good drummer.
amidst a sea of nearly identical sounding death metal bands, one band continues to be unmistakable... Archspire. How they achieve their astonishing speed and technical abilities, modern science may never know.
Creative. Precise. Technical. Mind shattering speed. And it's in perfect time. So glad I got to see this band live. Blew my mind. To this day, I haven't found it.
Little did we know, but that periodic smile is when Spencer learns from the force that someone attempted and failed to learn his drum parts lol. Such technical stuff!
I've been a DM drummer for many years, and I have to say, this dude is very impressive. Especially love the alternating hand blast beats. Sick shit, bro.
I've seen Archspire live twice, and Spencer Prewett is no fucking joke. He does this for 45-60 minutes per set. Yes, Archspire play at comical speeds, but they are all consummate musicians.
I disliked it because it keeps coming up on my TH-cam music station. Kinda don't want drum videos on my recommended. I took the dislike off but it keeps coming back.
Coming back years later and watching this again, still showing it to people, being fucking amazed every time. Incredible. One thing that also does not change is how much I hate how long Spencer's shoelaces are. Still gets me every time. Incredible.
Saw this band last night with The Zenith Passage and Fallujah. The instant they started playing...holy shit. Spencer blew my fucking mind. Instant fan!
truly astonishing. flo mournier-esque in that mastery of a range of skill with speed, and well placed combinations which work very well with the music. Very musical and sensitive playing.
Spencer is an Automaton sent here from another reality to disclose the universe's most brutal tech drumming, I'm convinced. I don't think anyone has kick control like he does. There are some incredible drummers right now in 2023 like Chris Turner, and Haake is of course still killing it and pushing the limits of technicality. But I don't think anyone is touching Spencer Prewett in terms of sheer speed, brutality, and unrelenting power, all with incredible control.
As a drummer I thoroughly enjoyed all of the camera angles and the sound quality so I can see the techniques in action ... and I can't forget to mention the brutal and relentless playing was pretty awesome as well. I'm hoping Archspire plays a show in my neck of the woods soon so I can check this madness out live. \m/
This dude is pretty awe inspiring. As I have progressed in my musical taste I am really appreciating all this great technical death metal that is out these days. Keep up the outstanding work!! I need to learn that snare trick he does off the rim.
50 dislikes??!?!! You are totally ignorant people. The truth is that this is only envy. He is one of the best death metal drummer actually. He has a spectacular technique and a surgical precision.
tbh this is more interesting than most speed demon drummers. All the stuff he's doing with the bells is actually interesting so there's at least some creativity involved.
Apparently it's something called triggers that makes you play like a ninja that lives in a different time zone than the rest of earth . Lol im kidding 😅
I just knew him, and was so flabbergasted. I previously know Austin Archey from Lorna Shore and was really amazed by his playing. But when I see this mans', I was like bro, there's so much underrated beast drummers. Austin has a great fast-stable tip n' toe technique, meanwhile Spencer has that inhuman snare triplet technique. Both has pulled the bar to the max 🔥 I noticed at 00:44, he changed the beat so fast that it seems there is a frame skipped from the video.
so yea, ppl are crying about the footwork. the tiny beater angles/tight head are what allows for speed and endurance like this. you can't whale away full strokes on a floppy head and keep up these speeds. these guys take years perfecting not only techniques but tuning their gear to suit them as the techniques progress. I'd always be afraid to make the slightest adjustment to my pedals for fear of it throwing something off...imagine this guy. even worse is playing someone else's :D I couldn't play on his pedals and he damn sure can't do this on mine
I like Metallica.. But im not 13 anymore easily amused. Im 40. Ill stick to my old school death metal. Plus some of the newer good death metal. Hard to find....
I legit thought Archspire used a drum machine when I first listened to them holy shit this guy is a legend.
took me a while to realize this is not sped up like some other vids.
They do use a drum machine. His name is Spencer.
I’m a drummer and I thought that about this band and rings of Saturn when I first heard them
Same here hahaha
2:00 That gravity blast! That cymbal work. This dude is a drumming cyborg sent back from the future to destroy all lazy drummers.
That part blew my fucking mind!
Happen to see that quick ass cymbal catch? 2:03
Ginger Snap I did now, good eye!
It looks humanly impossible even after I saw him do it.
Too much focus of fast blast beats for my liking.
This guy is freaking amazing. All the guys in Archspire are. It's really astonishing that one band could have so much talent yet go largely unnoticed.
For Katy Perry fans this music gives them PTSD
the vocalist is a large part of that, hes unlistenable for most metalheads even
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 Definitely. His technique makes him an acquired taste but also unique in the scene. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Fucking a man
this is really good
They really went off on this first album, super flowing and creative and hard as fuck
The best drummers and guitarists in the world are in death metal bands. Spencer is currently holding the title of best drummer in the world.

Might be slipknot fans cuz they think they have the best drummer in the world

How do the drums not catch fire let alone explode? This dude is so beastly I love it
They coat it with a thin layer of industrial grade fire retardant before every song.

It's called a dirk blast. It's indeed bad ass and he's one of the technical DM greats.
So fast that it's revolutionary the way he plays. Rewriting the manual on how to play death/grind drumming.
Spencer accuracy is mind blowing. He writes some really exciting and creative drum parts too
Those crossover blasts are the coolest thing ever
Oh my god, absolutely incredible talent. The gravity blast and cymbal work at 2:05 blew my mind.

That bell at the end does it for me...
What? What did I just watch? This is simply amazing playing.
What a MONSTER!!!! Damn..........
awesome stufff. technique, stamina and precision... great... AMAZING GUY !!!
