Despite being someone who was completely jaded by Trivium's revolving door of drummers, Alex Bent has rapidly become not only my favourite Trivium drummer ever, but possibly my favourite drummer ever full stop. I feel like with chops like his, Alex is perfectly safe in the band but if the worst ever were to happen, I don't know if I could ever forgive Trivium for it. Alex Bent is an absolute fucking legend.
Am I the only one that hears some songs with Alex and thinks for a split second that it sounds slow? Then it hits me that every song is the exact album speed, and nicks timing was all over the place. Alex is like the new atomic clock. You can't speed him up or slow him down, his timing just is.
@@andreimatheus9306 But that requires tons of study and a steady technique to be effective (I mean with the right hits and the right groove). I mean, he always hit with the same energy and power, and that's absolutely not easy to do. He's beasty machine. Only Madiro was technically as good as Alex (but in a very different way and style). Alex is the best fit for Trivium's drums rn. Travis was good in songwriting but in time, I think he didn't practice as much as someone who wants to be in a band of pros. Regarding Nick, I just think he didn't have the right personality to stay in/with the group. It happens.
@@danieljordison0793 Worst thing about Nick was his goddamn overplaying.. Fast fills in places where they don't belong. The best example would be the live Version of Throes of Perdition live at Download 2012, Sounds like he is playing a different Song at times.
@@jameslove90 there was a time when Travis used to be really solid and that was during the pre-Ascendancy days. With the way he threw a fit during the Shogun DVD, it seems that he just got lazy/lost the passion in practicing.
Ya to think all those years he skipped school, getting g baked with his friends playing drums in the garage and constantly wasting his life away, to one day get a signing on his first album and from their everyone seeing his talent. But first u need the rich mommy and daddy to buy you the amazing drum set, then the rich mommy and daddy to either have the garage or the bug sounded off room for u to play In everyday and NOT GET MAD AT U FOR PLAYING, becUze they are musically declined. Thats what got him here. 😡
Honestly couldn't stop starring at that Farris wheel in the background, was hypnotizing at all the color patters it changes to and to know that their is people in those buckets while its doing it.
I think the first few albums have the most interesting drumsound, until sin and the sentence arrived and blew them away! Thanks for making Trivium metal again
Amazing show, thank you all so much for coming to Austria/Nova Rock!!! I was in the circle pit, great crowd as well. Hope to see you again soon, much love from Austria

Travis Smith was a beast, tons of good work with Trivium, but man...Alex's ceiling is much higher, this dude can drum. Scary stuff
Alex is such a fucking beast and loves he’s craft.
Yeah but have you seen Alex Rudinger or Pete Webber?
Agreed. Not favorite drummer ever, John boecklin and krimh kerim are that, but definially tricks best
Trivium's beat*
Most facial expressions I’ve ever seen him make
Watch his stuff prior to Trivium. You'll see a far more wild Alex with a Fro.
The last song Chester Bennington did Alex drummed it and there's a video he shows lots of expressions
I don’t think they got your sarcasm... 🤦🏻♂️
Sick drumming!!!!! BOAT RUDDER STRANGE MOUNTAIN!!!!!
All I Wanted to See...No More Comments Needed
All I Was Looking For
IT'S MIILLES WITH THE TYRES! IT'S JUST THE WAY WE PISS!
STOMP, UKRAINE.. THIS... LIIIIMMEE!!
Making wands out of opeth!

That's simple... It's because he uses click track for the songs. Super effective and the right thing to do!

Best Trivium drummer ever!!!!! OMG nailed every hit.
I misread "best trivium cover" somehow. I thought it was funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:12 that snare hit
Don't you meant toms?
@@metalfan2346 nah he meant the snare hit at the very end of that fill
I heard more than one snare hit
@@richerlecool right
4 hits to be exact played really fast
His cymbal fills are insane!!
3:36 I love his little play with the ride adds so much and sounds amazing
My exact thoughts too 👌🏼🤘🏼🇬🇧
What lots and lots of practice and dedication looks like.. flawless.. \m/
Considering he's been a tech death drummer his whole career, Trivium is low key drumming to him.lol

@@careyblake4522 did your mommy and daddy not provide what they could for you?
@@careyblake4522 LMAO someones projecting hard.
@@careyblake4522
Seems like you're just bitter that you didn't put in the work.
Dude, you are a monster. I hope you will stay in Trivium for ever.
Thanks for uploading this, really cool to see!
everywere i go you there ! Awesome channel you have !
I didnt realise I could love this song more! Alex you are beast bro! Double ride ftw!
Adam Rooke As a fan of The Rev, I did not see that coming!
@@M4RCM0NT31R0 I know Rev was a genius behind the kit, but, before him was there Aquiles Priester.
you gave new life to an old song, and made it exciting again. so awesome
Seeing them today at download, hopefully they do this!
I forgot who said Trivium should remaster/rerecord all of their old albums with you. Definitely agree they should consider it
A rerecording of Ascendancy would be incredible
Wally idk Ascendancy is such an asskicker of an album I don't think it "needs" a rerecord but Ember to inferno oh fuck Yes!!
Keep the original screams though, they are irreplicable
@@BKF0 he literally can't do them physically anymore, so kinda impossible
@@Easelgames I meant like use the ones that are already recorded on Ascendancy
This is the first time I've ever bookmarked a song. Wow man....... just wow!!!
the opening sound like the opening of sepultura's territory
Atir Singer I literally just said the same thing then saw your comment! 🤘
Same toughts
Wow...honestly, I didn't know they have such a cool drummer...respect
This guy was born in another dimension, he's not human at all. What a great drummer.
Absolutely effortless! What a machine.
The isolation on this video is perfect! It took me a minute to realize this was live and not just rehearsals!
i saw you on Rock am Ring
Honestly couldn't stop starring at that Farris wheel in the background, was hypnotizing at all the color patters it changes to and to know that their is people in those buckets while its doing it.
So natural and effortless！
This guy it's extremely accurate.. Holy fuck.. He went beyond learning the song.... He just mastered his craft.
Man that looks fun. Seems like just the right time of day to be enjoying that position too.
My gosh alex...what a beast
Awesome, makes me encouraged to keep practicing and get to this point
Perfection! You have exceeded my expectation! This is fire!!!!
INCREDIBLE
A dream came true💪 sick drumming alex💪
Sick drummer, love the old trivium!
This is a beautiful thing! Damn Alex! You light the flame for Trivium !
I think the first few albums have the most interesting drumsound, until sin and the sentence arrived and blew them away! Thanks for making Trivium metal again
Amazing show, thank you all so much for coming to Austria/Nova Rock!!!

Only one album with alex and I'm in love
Such an amazing drummer.
So solid! And proper enjoying it!
Man Travis Smith is an amazing drummer.

@@timmyboy9140 Yes?
@@whoshotya117 I agree Travis is, but this Alex
@@timmyboy9140 Yes, but this is Travis' work, that was my point.
Deffo my new favourite drummer 🤘🏼🇬🇧
Makes it look so easy and flawless accuracy - ace
Man ur so fucking awesome hope see u next year @ novarock
you play like a PURE KING.
Great sense of melodic drumming! Awesome timing!
I have been waiting for your play through of this since you started uploading trivium videos, certainly did not disappoint
Imagine what it would feel like being Alex on his little balcony there watching the circle pits.
4:09 why he gotta do Travis like that man 🔥
I was there, was an amazing concert
Best I’ve heard that song performed on drums since Travis. The double bass parts on the pre-chorus breakdowns are spot-on.
I better not see one damn dislike for this!
One from travis
Exelente una máquina en la batería grande 💪😈🤘🇨🇱
That snare sound. Hnnnnnng
Alex Bent eres mi inspiracion de Baterista
2:19 His shoulders did the Tom and Jerry thing bahahha, they said "groovy baby"
Artist at work \m/.
Pull harder really showcases the different drum styles holy shit love this perspective 🤟🏿
Nice cover dude
My man. Crushing it
Damn, that Ride sounds sick... Brutal drumming! :)
Really love this song - frikkin awesomely done
you are great drummer, Alex!!))
Great stuff. Love to hear drum sound like drums.
This is so gorgeously tight and good! I love your drumming so much :)
i was there! you can see me right there in the crowd
Travis Smith will crying when he look this video 😅😅
Alex is a Demi god or part cyborg. Unreal dude
Great dude. Please come to Singapore!
I like how you improve the original drum plays at 1:39 , keep your spirit man dan never bored to play all trivium set list
Amazing
Master of master 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Jesus Christ Alex, you’re a f*cking MONSTER! This gave me chills dude, so awesome!!! 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
I never noticed it before.....but the beat you go into at 0:08 sounds like "Chaos A.D." \m/
Territory
This is freaking masterclass🔥🔥
I can hear some a7x drumming in here and there badass!
Clean and beastly!!!
I. Was. There carajo! For the 1st time
You're f*cking monster from another planet ! 🤘❤️
all of the cymbals sound so good
Zildjian baby hahahahaha
Amazing job as always!🤘🏻
Beast
You're the only drummer I've heard play this intro and it sounds right. Even with Travis it was all over the place
Alex is the new double pedal king
He reminds me alot of the Rev....
He is so astonishingly good at what he does
@@0yCrazyb yess
The Rev was good, but Alex is better and I mean that in the most respectful way possible.
So Precise mah dude! killin it!
He doesn’t even look like he’s concentrating he’s that good
THAT SNARE DRUM......... DAYM
Greatest
This is fucking awesome 🥁 Alex is a beast everyone knows this!!! 💯
sick drummer
Perrote!!!
