Can we all agree that a playthrough of the whole album is a must and would be extremely welcome? This one as another comment here states...shows that the drums are way busier than I thought, it would be so great to hear the likes of Damocles, Abbatoir and court of the dragon
When WTDMS came out Alex was filming some playthrough videos, like he did with TSATS, he streamed the "making of" but in the end don't really know what happened, those videos were never uploaded
Alex is an absolute beast of a drummer, and he makes it look effortless. Even as a guitarist I find some of the best parts of the newest 3 albums being the drumming. Tl;dr, yes, more drum cam please! Seconded 😂
Agreed, Alex is a very musical drummer and he comes up with lots of interesting patterns. Alex joining the band was the best decision Trivium has made in years!
@@Feercholain the guy's got a pentagram tattoo so he's a cool guy. Probably knows all the best drummers too. It's obvious he just wanted a little attention.
As good as Travis was for Trivium, it's not even close. Alex is just light years beyond him and has revitalised Trivium at a time when it's incredibly hard to bring new creativity into an old band. The early stuff of any band is always likely to be the best, since it's when they were at their best creatively. Can you even imagine the stuff Alex could have brought to Trivium if he were their original drummer? I know Travis has some iconic parts in their best albums, but when you listen closely to a lot of the tracks his playing is sloppy and generic for the majority. Someone as creative and technically proficient as Alex could have elevated their early material to another level.
Mr. Alex Bent almost makes this seem too simple..... Masterclass getting to see all of what goes on in the song, yet makes it look so effortless. Thankyou Trivium and Alex for such amazing musicianship
Hot dang, not gonna lie though, did not expect there to be so much happening in this. Like yeah knew it was technical but damn, whole new perspective. Love your work Alex, you absolute beast.
I remember when this album first came out, I recognized this song as being Alex's best work on the whole album. I'd love to see a drum playthrough for "Shadow Of The Abattior", it's my favorite song on the album and this song is my 2nd favorite.
Whether Alex is your favorite drummer or not, no-one can deny hs talent and professionalism! I've always said that you can always tell a good drummer not just in what they play but how they play. Their posture, relaxed jaw (which truly plays a part in your playing) and fluidity around their kit. There's many clues to a great drummer/percussionist by just watching THEM as they play.... and Alex is definitely everything a drummer should be! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Absolute beast drumming... I love how direct yet complex the composition is in the main chorus beat. It sounds like 'just' sixteenth notes, but those sixteenth notes are EVERYWHERE and the sound is 10x more full and dynamic than if it were just tom rolls and simple fills.
Alex looks so relaxed while playing the drums, he feels like an early SFM animation back when people didn't yet make the torso move alongside the limbs.
Are you kidding me 😂 look at iggor cavelra, Mike Smith, nils fjelstrom Pete sandoval, those guys helped shape aggressive styles of drumming and the techniques they utilise paved the way for guys like this so to say he's the best in this generation your way off 😂😂
It's 7.40am in Malaysia.. I'm having nasi lemak as breakfast while watching latest video from Alex, drumming. What a great day to start 💪🏼🤘🏼 **I always love that 6x hit on the bell
This song always drove me crazy as I could never fully visualize how that drum opening was humanly possible and now that I have finally seen it I am in awe
OH shit yes from the day the album launched i was waiting for this video, one of my favourites on the album and couldn't wait to see that mind melting intro/chorus you created. Absolute machine/
Same here, I loved all of his drum playthroughs on The Sin And The Sentence and was really hoping to get some drum playthroughs for this album. This song is even more intricate than I could tell from the studio version, Alex is a magician on the drums!
Alex is a very musical drummer and he comes up with lots of interesting patterns. Alex joining the band was the best decision Trivium has made in years!
This is a really underappreciated song.. the breakdown at 2:55 is my favorite Trivium breakdown of all time.. such a great riff, impossible not to stank face when it hits!
For a band not afraid to adopt new aged modern ideas and techniques in all aspects of the band, it’s so refreshing to see that you guys have kept an emphasis on having an actual drummer play actual drum parts on actual drums with a focus on performance and recording quality.
I remember when this album first came out, I recognized this song as being Alex's best work on the whole album. I'd love to see a drum playthrough for "Shadow Of The Abattior", it's my favorite song on the album and this song is my 2nd favorite.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! My favourite drum track by far from the album; the intro is so beautifully complex with the combination of those two simultaneous melodies with the toms and the cymbals… This is pure ART. Thanks for your music!
from the first listen on release day, the drums in this song stood out amongst the rest. always a pleasure to see an Alex Bent drum playthrough! cant wait to see what the future brings us.
One of my favourite Trivium songs because of the awesome drums. I am so excited that this video exists now, I have been wishing for it for ages :') what a legend
There are a lot of great drummers in the world, but few these days match the artistry demonstrated by Alex Bent. This man has found the perfect balance of technical ability, rhythm, and creativity.
This has given me a whole new appreciation for the song. I don't know why but having the drums amplified and in my face just opens the whole thing up for me.
Man, such a busy drum track, really pulls together the flow of this song though, awesome seeing it with the solo performance. Excellent job at orchestration!
Hell yes, finally! I've been waiting for a Drum Playthrough of this song since I've heard it on the album for the first time. I love the intro part and creativity throughout the song. As usual Alex makes it look wayyy easier than it is xD
Alex going full on beast mode! Easily on my list of top drummers ever since I first heard him! Thanks a bunch, Alex, for letting us see your insane skill set on this monster song!
Simply amazing. I would love to see some more playthrough videos from you. Especially some songs of The Sin and the Sentence, and on the older songs, to see how you play them. Keep up the amazing work.
This is straight up some Neil Peart level playing, and I don't think most even realize it. I've seen Trivium many times, always knew Alex gave the most solid performances, but never ever comprehended it at this level. Thanks for putting this on display, I'll be listening to Trivium again for a month straight now lol. \m/
God the way his hands FLOAT around the set so effortlessly. Honestly one of the most impressive things to me is during the verses, those 3 splash hits he does, while maintaining a blast beat (? i don't actually know what that is lol) with the kick and snare. Seamlessly transitioning his right hand from fast eighths to a slow tresillo, so good

Tl;dr, yes, more drum cam please! Seconded 😂
Ay, I support this petition
One of the best drummers in metal, not even an argument. Not just blast beats but utilizing the whole drum kit as always. Very tasteful.
Agreed, Alex is a very musical drummer and he comes up with lots of interesting patterns. Alex joining the band was the best decision Trivium has made in years!
One of the best drummers in metal 😂😂😂😂
@@joshstorie246what's so funny?
@@Feercholain the guy's got a pentagram tattoo so he's a cool guy. Probably knows all the best drummers too. It's obvious he just wanted a little attention.
@@jordank2028 Dude's a Travis Smith fanboy, can't expect much 😂
Love how he plays such badass riffs and grooves and still looks like he's waiting at the bus stop lol
This is definitely the best part about him lol what a beast
Meh he's no Travis smith but gets the job done I guess
No kidding, he's leagues better.
@@joshstorie246 First laughing and then this. Typical Travis fanboy... Alex runs circles around him, nostalgia is blinding your judgement...
One of the best drummers right now period. Thank you for being part of Trivium
you close your eyes and listen to endless chops. Then you open your eyes and see how effortless he makes it look. The man is a genius.
This is why I've always loved the drums and decided to be a drummer myself 🥁.
Never clicked so fast
Alex has gotta be the best drummer in the history of Trivium
most technical and versatile DEFINITELY
They have all been amazing drummers. I thinkneach one brought a uniqueness to each album. If I had to chose though.... coin flip on Travis or Alex.
As good as Travis was for Trivium, it's not even close. Alex is just light years beyond him and has revitalised Trivium at a time when it's incredibly hard to bring new creativity into an old band.

@@dysfunctionaldave right. but a lot of that greatness comes from the subjectiveness. A lot of people don't like Neil Pert and he is arguably the GOAT
Mr. Alex Bent almost makes this seem too simple..... Masterclass getting to see all of what goes on in the song, yet makes it look so effortless. Thankyou Trivium and Alex for such amazing musicianship
That whole section starting at 2:15 was EPICCC. That bell accent, with the splash patterns following was awesome!!
Hot dang, not gonna lie though, did not expect there to be so much happening in this. Like yeah knew it was technical but damn, whole new perspective. Love your work Alex, you absolute beast.

The man is a genius! Not because he can play that part, but because he wrote it.
That's what I always say. To me he is 3rd behind Danny Carey and Chris adler in terms of writing
@@ant24197 no Neil Peart is crazy
@puredistilledwater very true. Can't forget about him at all

Whoah, I’m when I’m playing my best my jaw is always slacked out. When I’m tight and feeling slow my jaw is so tight.
He needs to be talked about more. Top metal drummer. Hail Trivium.
Master at his craft playing a masterpiece of a song. Thank y’all for sharing this👏🏻🔥👏🏻🔥👏🏻
Absolute beast drumming... I love how direct yet complex the composition is in the main chorus beat. It sounds like 'just' sixteenth notes, but those sixteenth notes are EVERYWHERE and the sound is 10x more full and dynamic than if it were just tom rolls and simple fills.
He is too good. Not enough adjectives to describe him. Simply badass
I can't tell you how happy I am that there's a new Alex drumming video
One of my favorite songs on the new album. Alex is a damn mad man on the drums and has taken Trivium to a whole new level. RESPECT Mr. Bent!
Admirado también en España maestro de maestros.
Alex bent ON fire🔥🔥🔥 Go TRIVIUM thanks to keep this man in the band he is the best!
Never has there been or ever will be a better Trivium drummer. Hope he stays with them for the rest of their career.
Alex is A BEAST. The absolute best. So much talent in this little piggie!!!! 🐷
TING TING TING TING TING TING
the best drummer at work 🫶🏿
Alex looks so relaxed while playing the drums, he feels like an early SFM animation back when people didn't yet make the torso move alongside the limbs.
it seems Alex just continues to raise the bar🤯 fantastic job, bravo!
We need more of these drum playthrough videos... Alex always blows my mind watching him play
He's got his own YT channel with a lot of videos
What a beast 🤘🏻
I’m convinced this is the best metal drummer of our generation! Trivium has never sounded more complete as a band!
Do you think trivium brought out his genius? I wonder why he didn’t get scooped up earlier
@@yellowdog2181 I definitely think the genius was always there, but being around Trivium fully manifested it.
Are you kidding me 😂 look at iggor cavelra, Mike Smith, nils fjelstrom Pete sandoval, those guys helped shape aggressive styles of drumming and the techniques they utilise paved the way for guys like this so to say he's the best in this generation your way off 😂😂
@@niledunn4641 it’s an opinion, it’s suggestive. Arguing with my personal opinion is redundant, I’m not stating facts dude, it’s opinion.
@@niledunn4641 also… I don’t know any of those guys. How am I to compare him to people I had no previous knowledge of?
It's 7.40am in Malaysia.. I'm having nasi lemak as breakfast while watching latest video from Alex, drumming. What a great day to start 💪🏼🤘🏼
**I always love that 6x hit on the bell
Awal.. Haha

Unbelievable. Alex is such an inspiration on the kit. He can make these drumthroughs forever as far as I'm concerned
Alex is a very musical drummer and he comes up with lots of interesting patterns. Alex joining the band was the best decision Trivium has made in years!
I said in a comment of my own in here, this really is Neil Peart level playing. He deserves way more recognition.
He’s so relaxed and makes it look so easy… killer playthrough!
The hand/eye/mental coordination in this seems to be insane in some of these sections. Especially between the 3 to 320 mark.
As a drummer all I can do is cry. Cry with amazement, cry with jealousy, cry with elation, and most of all cry with love. 😭😭😭🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jesus! Alex you clearly put the work in lad! Creative grooves as well as crazy speed. Fuck yeah dude!
Always loved Alex’s form. Really good posture. Power house on the drums 🤘
Alex🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great job💪🏼💪🏼
This is a really underappreciated song.. the breakdown at 2:55 is my favorite Trivium breakdown of all time.. such a great riff, impossible not to stank face when it hits!

I've been waiting so long for this wideo...and it's absolutely great
missed these videos a ton and im super happy for this one
Awesome as always ❤
I just love these kind of drum playthroughs!

Let's Go ALEX was hoping for more videos like this keep them coming!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Dude is such a fuckin monster. Well done, Alex. I applaud you, sir.
Absolute weapon of a drummer. I was waiting for some play through videos and these do not disappoint.
Amazing drumparts that fit the music perfectly. Love it 🤘
Simply unreal. Excellent song, drumming, album, band. Love you ❤
One of the best of the album for sure, always loved this drum arrangement.
fucking love Alex, not enough drummers use splashes the way this man does
One of the best of his and my generation… and he’s barely over 30!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
My favourite drum track by far from the album; the intro is so beautifully complex with the combination of those two simultaneous melodies with the toms and the cymbals…
This is pure ART.

😮This is why you are my favourite drummer,so glad I've seen you play live🤘🔥

There are a lot of great drummers in the world, but few these days match the artistry demonstrated by Alex Bent. This man has found the perfect balance of technical ability, rhythm, and creativity.
Alex, you're an absolute beast, man. I love that you're in this band! Keep it like that!
Bro, your definitely putting in the work. Keep killing it!
I can't wait for more drum play throughs. You did amazing, I need to get a drum kit so I can learn to play like this
This has given me a whole new appreciation for the song. I don't know why but having the drums amplified and in my face just opens the whole thing up for me.
One of the best drummers ever! Amazing and technical and makes it look so effortless all at the same time!
LET´S GOOOOOOOOOOOO I waited so long for this
Been waiting like years after the last drum playthrough then now its here again and play my top tracks right off 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man, such a busy drum track, really pulls together the flow of this song though, awesome seeing it with the solo performance. Excellent job at orchestration!
perfection and a great flow
This dude FLIES. Seeing him live was my first concert as a kid and it literally changed my life
Hell yes, finally! I've been waiting for a Drum Playthrough of this song since I've heard it on the album for the first time. I love the intro part and creativity throughout the song.
As usual Alex makes it look wayyy easier than it is xD
One of the best drummer on the planet.
Amazing.. I can feel the energy
Incredible performance! Memory intensive stuff for sure. 🤘
this drummer is amazing man im so glad it landed in trivium they deserved it
Hands down one my favorite drummers!
Really love this dude's playing! I think he helped a great deal to bring variety to the rhythmic section of the band.
Alex going full on beast mode! Easily on my list of top drummers ever since I first heard him! Thanks a bunch, Alex, for letting us see your insane skill set on this monster song!
Masterpiece, there's no other word to describe this.

Thanks for putting this on display, I'll be listening to Trivium again for a month straight now lol. \m/
Alex is a machine. My favorite song from the album after Damocles. One of the best Trivium albums overall
I love your playthroughs
Master at its craft. Flow state. Inspiring
Finally! More drum covers
Another Alex playthrough, excellent :)
Details, creativity... Alex is incredible...
This video was dope asf crisp fills dope asf feet work well done brother
I don't think this band gets enough credit. One of the most technically sound bands ever! Keep kicking a$$!
Wdym, trivium is one of the most popular bands in all of metal
you sir are PHENOMENAL!!!
