From what I can tell he's actually a better drummer when it comes to technique (especially the hands). On another note: If you watch live videos of Alex you can see how he hasn't been able to get back to the speeds he used to play at before they disbanded. Still a great drummer though.
That was the most amazing drumming sequence I have witnessed in my entire life. What a marvelous achievement. This is living. Putting your entire existence into something and producing something on the other side of effort that transcends anything else in existence. There is still life on Earth.
I remember back in High school I was able to play every Despised Icon song. Its been over 10 years since then and grew up and over playing blast beats till my arms felt like jello. It brought back one of the most amazing times of my life so thank you
Aleks Ulmer i’m not dumbing this play through down at all, but that is seriously one of the easiest parts in this entire song. gravity blasts are definitely easier to pick up than a blast beat that is 270+ bpm, still pretty awesome tho.
Dude, I've seen drum covers for all my life, being a drummer for 13 years, I can happily say this is the best drum cover i've seen so far ! I've been following your channel for a long time men, since your ABR cover ! Keep it up man, you're fucking awesome !
I very rarely fangirl about drum covers, but dude you fucking NAILED this one. And whoever your videographer was kicks ass as well!! Kudos to you both!
What the fuck did I just watch!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a new level of drummers emerging that continue to take the craft to a whole new level unattainable to most. And this kid is certainly one of them. You sir, are a fucking machine...
Who else has seen it in 2023 including me??? I saw this video 6 years ago and i still can't believe it! This is so fucking insane!!! Sound, technique, gear, drummer... PERFECTION!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Phenomenonal beyond words you can see the hrs of practice being demonstrated to muscle memory and he don't hold back Man to Man hand shake on achieving the heights of this level on drums you can only go higher .
Dude! That was incredible! Spot on gravity rolls and foot work! Camera was like a Bourne Identity film, only complaint. Also I loved your cover of Hollow Planet This is fucking incredible
Damn Dude that was spot on! i hope to meet you some day, I really need help with my drumming! next time you come through Denver we need to chill and play some DRUMS! Your one of my biggest inspirations!
Every time I watch this I get exhausted.
i like starcraft too... but i main terran
Facts😩
Im exhausted too. What the fuck anthony
The last blast beats are insane. Looks like he is holding the sticks with his nails hhahahahaha
5 years later this still holds as one of the best covers of despised ever. So fire.
Finally someone pulls this off just as good as the creator Alex Grind himself.
Like Jamie Saint Merat, he's on a whole other level
John Wick yeah but to be fair, Alex uses the heaviest sticks vic firth makes and hits so fucking hard while maintaining this speed
He did quite a fix there.
From what I can tell he's actually a better drummer when it comes to technique (especially the hands). On another note: If you watch live videos of Alex you can see how he hasn't been able to get back to the speeds he used to play at before they disbanded. Still a great drummer though.
@@GRisaWasteofTime It's like 2 am and I'm on the floor after reading this
how to feel like shit at drums in 4 minutes and 2 seconds
fuck, that was insane
bahahaha
That was the most amazing drumming sequence I have witnessed in my entire life. What a marvelous achievement. This is living. Putting your entire existence into something and producing something on the other side of effort that transcends anything else in existence. There is still life on Earth.
Fucking right.
how fucking high were you
DUDE. You're killing it. This cover is sooo clean. Dem gravities are untouchable!
...Holy shit that was intense. One of the most difficult songs I've heard from Despised Icon, never expected it to be covered.
Hey, Mazegeek should Chart this ehh?
My head just exploded... Holy fuck...
+Christian Johansen
LOL.. right
why do you all like this so much??? it has no power .... its only speed. there is literally 0,0% power in this video
Did you type this before it exploded 🤯
What did just happen???
This is so fuc*ing perfect *-*
Sound and video editing is on top!
Oh my fucking god!
Nice sound yes
This is sick!!
That's why we are all here! ;)
I remember watching this 5 years ago. Never would’ve thought that he’d be one of my favorite drummers in one of my favorite bands, Shadow of Intent.
One of the only drummers who I seen holding the sticks properly while playing this style blast drumming
I will literally never get tired of this cover man. I remember watching it the day it dropped and it’s still just as mind blowing.
I remember back in High school I was able to play every Despised Icon song. Its been over 10 years since then and grew up and over playing blast beats till my arms felt like jello. It brought back one of the most amazing times of my life so thank you
It's calling beat them skins again
Your grav blasts are fucking insane
Pretty rad to see Texas In July's singer showing love for fellow musicians!
***** Wow. I talk to the drummer here on facebook from a time to time. And you commented on this...a vocalist for one of my favorite bands. :P)
3:43 - 3:53 The most intense 10 seconds of blasting I've heard in a long time. Dude is a MACHINE!!!
gravity blast, abusing the rim as a tool not your typical blast beat.
Aleks Ulmer i’m not dumbing this play through down at all, but that is seriously one of the easiest parts in this entire song. gravity blasts are definitely easier to pick up than a blast beat that is 270+ bpm, still pretty awesome tho.
Fuckin incredible, man!
Speed of light: Exists
Anthony: Im about to end this man's whole career
Alex grind is one of the best drummers out there . And this guy pulled it off mad respect 💯
For the love of god, PLEASE DO A RINGS OF SATURN COVER! You will fuckin slay that shit.
no
Something off of the newest album would be pretty sick. The drums are crazy fast at certain points.
What he should drum to is Absu, Ulcerate and Archspire. Better than that garbage. Or try to cover Gigantic Brain
FutileExistence nice meme :^)
That Djent
Thank you i suppose
Brilliant! I always thought of that as the hardest drums on the album, on an album of insane drumming! Well done.
stilll epic just showed my co worker you need a trophy bro where ever you are.... GOD BLESS
Your work with Shadow of Intent, Beneath the Massacre, A Night in Texas and now BABYMETAL is incredible!
Alex Grind will be proud
Dude, Alex Grind is one of my faves. You nailed that shit.
So rad man, one of my favorite choruses to play. Alex would be very proud
I had to check the settings to make sure my playback speed was still at normal!!! Sick cover and great camera and camera work and editing!!!
Dude, I've seen drum covers for all my life, being a drummer for 13 years, I can happily say this is the best drum cover i've seen so far ! I've been following your channel for a long time men, since your ABR cover ! Keep it up man, you're fucking awesome !
Good choice bro! One of my favorite songs by them. Great cover also!!
Absolutely flawless
I have watched this video no less than 50 times. Incredible stuff over and over.
This is just insane
that blast beat at the end fucking gets me every time
I very rarely fangirl about drum covers, but dude you fucking NAILED this one. And whoever your videographer was kicks ass as well!! Kudos to you both!
Your double strokes on the bass drums are flawless!
Damn, it must be really windy in there.
Juan Deag 😁
in where? O.o he barely moves dude. there is no wind. thats for sure. lmao.
he said that because the jacket (my english sucks I know)
Don't feel bad. I was looking for a fucking fan.
He isn't wearing sweat pants either. Clearly he doesn't know what clothes he should be wearing.
absolutely fucking awesome
Great job! It's always awesome to see people who can play this style so smoothly. Love that at 1:03 he has time to push his hair back!
An amazing amazing phenomenal cover. You are one of the best drummers out there and I've been listening to metal for 15 years++
What the fuck did I just watch!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a new level of drummers emerging that continue to take the craft to a whole new level unattainable to most. And this kid is certainly one of them. You sir, are a fucking machine...
The best rendition ever for this song. Awesome talent.
I need to smoke a cigarette after watching that...
Ha
Hahahhah
Bravo ! I'm waiting Despised Icon - Quarantine drum cover for you ! :)
I am happy that RUclips recommended this video! \m/ Keep it up! :)
Peace from Sweden
You sir, are a winner.
So sick man
I knew I recognized you! Saw you once live with Aegeaon in Brussels, was epic
love how you just explode at the end.
I'm back and still enjoying this cover. Wow! Still amazing after all this time. I miss 2005-2009 style deathcore.
loving the snare head choice! amazing playing...
That was perfect bro!!! The playing The sound, The video editing/recording everything!!! 10/10!!
Your best video yet! This is so good and honestly got me into Despised Icon!
Brought some tears to my eyes, holy crap
DUDE, why did you delete your cover of A Fractured Hand? That video single handedly got me into Despised Icon and deathcore in general.
Probably the best example of Despised Icon tbh. It has a little bit of everything going on. Definitely one of my faves.
Incredible man...just incredible.
Who else has seen it in 2023 including me???
I saw this video 6 years ago and i still can't believe it! This is so fucking insane!!! Sound, technique, gear, drummer... PERFECTION!!!
😍😍😍😍😍
Phenomenonal beyond words you can see the hrs of practice being demonstrated to muscle memory and he don't hold back Man to Man hand shake on achieving the heights of this level on drums you can only go higher .
TAAAAAABBBBARNAKKKKK! C'EST MONSTRUEUX MAN!
older Anthony Baron videos get much less attention than they deserve
amazing stuff
Man this is so heavy and brutal so awesome dude great job
Definitely your best cover so far, all the other songs pale in comparison really.
Last minute is pure chaos 🔥

Anthony is nothing short of a fucking legend.

Great cover and speed rampings!
still watching to this day since this got uploaded 😤
More drum covers!!!! Great job dude!!!
Welp. I've never felt so inadequate in my life.
Seriously though, bloody amazing stuff.
Digging the two Real Friends posters too!
That gravity blast at the end was just fucking nuts!!!
I need a legit live take no cuts, but I can’t even play the damn drums so I’m basically just being jealous , fuxking nuts, Alex would be proud
I watch this video all the time. This and his signal the firing squad triple cover haha. You're the shit man. Makes me want to get better
excelent arrangements and rhythms combinations
Outstanding 🤘
Anthony Barone? More like Anthony Grind👀💪💪
Oh, man! It`s super cool!
I’m kinda disappointed that I have just now seen your videos. I wish I had seen them before. Your a beast of a drummer! 🤘🏻
Dude! That was incredible! Spot on gravity rolls and foot work! Camera was like a Bourne Identity film, only complaint.
Also I loved your cover of Hollow Planet
This is fucking incredible
This is some fucking sick shit. Holy fuck my hats off to you man. You straight up murdered this song
You are one sick individual. Keep it up my friend!
Damn Dude that was spot on! i hope to meet you some day, I really need help with my drumming! next time you come through Denver we need to chill and play some DRUMS! Your one of my biggest inspirations!

Fucking hell.. Amazing sound coming from that kit. You're fucking amazing man! Love it
flawless
you´ve got my deepest Respect bro !
Flawless victory!
Truly great!
how many takes? I'm guessing a few unless the cameraman teleports
Qukrapok I think three, though two would work also
Dudes OBVIOUSLY holding a camera in each hand ....
I'd rather see one continueous shot over the shoulder in one take than this pieced together "watch me move my hair* stuff.
Wow your an amazing drummer! you killed it man but i gotta show some love to the camera guy that was a beautiful video great job!!!!
Fav song fav band. Fav cover
Really fuckin good. ended some of the blasts a note early, but its hard to get a flawless run of Pelletiers drumming. Solid job my dude
fantastic!!!
Tabarnak!
You are Bloody extreme dude ! Keep it up
Killer as always my dude!
