I think Alex has potential to be in the top ten best drummers; he could already be there. I think he can only get even better at this point and this is his only record with trivium so far, so I bet the next one will really begin to set him up and get his name out there.
Realistically tho (as a drummer myself), it’s very possible to show off a drummer of your band, especially one with as many talents as Alex, in the span of five minutes max. During shows, so much of the drumming is equal parts great timing and skill, and showmanship. Alex could knock that down in three minutes easy.
Granted more complex doesn’t mean better necessarily, but for the direction trivium went with their writing he fits like a finely tailored glove. He’s perfect for what trivium does now and he even improves on what drummers prior did on the songs too
I love how Alex has his own flavor and style! Yet he throws in little hints of past Trivium drummers with his fills here and there. I noticed at 3:46 that tom fill is like the fill in Throes Of Perdition! He still makes Trivium sound like Trivium but adds in his own style! So glad he's a part of this band! Such an incredible player!
So awesome :):) ... this gets better every time I watch it!!! Thank you for uploading these vids Alex... Im sure they're helping many aspiring musicians ....
Funniest thing about this video is those aren't the original beats of the song, he revamped it for this show, but sounds better this way. His rolls were much longer and all across, adding in the 4th tom to the song
What a killer drummer and he’s still so young. I can only see him getting even better. You can tell he not only has speed and power but also has tonnes of groove. He knows when to hold back and when to go for it. Too many metal drummers these days are too mechanical and sterile with their technicality where they lack feel and groove. Alex seems he’s got worse he best of all worlds.
Respect to the drumtech. These Toms sound amazing.
Shoutout to Mr. Pedda !
even with bad tuning - tama bubinga sets sound amazing :)
@@Cal.lm96 not bad, just tuned so high
@@larsulrich26ulrich42 I mean, bubinga sets sound really good even if they are not tuned well
@@Cal.lm96 I agree, definitely one of my favorite kit
The most enjoyable aspect of this video is the way he plays the drums with so much ease.
Alex Bent spelled the end for the 'bring back Travis' comments
thank god. ive seen trivium with every drummer theyve ever had. travis was OG. but not great.
Nick Stalker travis was good, he can't even play KG or Pull Harder properly
or Rain
Agreed.
Diva Iswara must there really be an insult? Can we not just leave it at “Alex is better”
One of my favorite songs from the new album! Hope you guys play near me soon!
Chainsaw Reacts please make a reaction of "alex bent drum playthrough"
Chainsaw Reacts I just saw your reaction to the music video. Top notch stuff, man! And Alex has pretty much cemented himself as their best drummer.
oh yea mine as well i love his work in this song on of the best out right now talent wise.
tight drumming alex, best trivium drummer to date. cant wait to see you play in aus
Precision and just the right amount of power for maximum endurance, this guy is the best thing I've seen in drumming for a while
I hit like before I even watched the video.
That blast beat break down part in the middle hands down one of the best drum parts...ever
The double ride work 3:15 is just brilliant. Such a entertaining song man, you wrote the best and most musical drums for this record. Many thanks \m/
Matt Watson the ride work in the sin and the sentence in the very beginning is insane.
@早川祐介 He coined "double octopus", I REALLY doubt he did it first.
@早川祐介 I've heard he called it the "crazy fucking octopus thing" or something like that 😂
Alex bent is amazing. Favorite drummer ever. I just can't believe how fundamentally sound he is. I can't even describe it. Flawless
Drummers always amaze me
I think Alex has potential to be in the top ten best drummers; he could already be there. I think he can only get even better at this point and this is his only record with trivium so far, so I bet the next one will really begin to set him up and get his name out there.
I completely agree
You were right.
2nd under Mario Gojira right now and yeah you are right :D
Hey,can you tell me my future,too?
Cuz you were pretty much bang on with Alex here.
My top 4 are alex rudinger, mario duplantier, alex bent, and eloy casagrande. Theyre all disgusting behind the kit
With the fans responding so well to you, I they might as well give you a drum solo or two in these shows.
Réno Greeff def deserves at least one
Trivium don't play very long sets (like an hour and 15), a drum set would seem like a waste of time.
Realistically tho (as a drummer myself), it’s very possible to show off a drummer of your band, especially one with as many talents as Alex, in the span of five minutes max. During shows, so much of the drumming is equal parts great timing and skill, and showmanship. Alex could knock that down in three minutes easy.
You can cearly see the difference between the drumming style from old and new songs. New one's are 10 times more complex
Granted more complex doesn’t mean better necessarily, but for the direction trivium went with their writing he fits like a finely tailored glove. He’s perfect for what trivium does now and he even improves on what drummers prior did on the songs too
I think Travis drum parts are absolutely perfect for the songs. Especially crusade and shogun
I love how Alex has his own flavor and style! Yet he throws in little hints of past Trivium drummers with his fills here and there. I noticed at 3:46 that tom fill is like the fill in Throes Of Perdition! He still makes Trivium sound like Trivium but adds in his own style! So glad he's a part of this band!

Love this snare :)

Funniest thing about this video is those aren't the original beats of the song, he revamped it for this show, but sounds better this way. His rolls were much longer and all across, adding in the 4th tom to the song

What a killer drummer and he’s still so young. I can only see him getting even better. You can tell he not only has speed and power but also has tonnes of groove.

What he does in supernatural, but his face looks like he is trying to say: Oh, what a nice Sunday afternoon walk in the park. So easy.
You’re such a fucking beast
Are those his skins or his toms that sound tribal like that?
