Zack Bland I used to really dislike Alex’s drumming for awhile. Never sure why honestly. After watching the last couple videos of him here, he kills it!
@@AllanJ...Batmo365 Yeah that's a good mixing FOR METAL, as a producer I can say... that tipe of mixing its really hard to do specially when you don't use any samples
Alex is playing deep in the pocket here, amazing. Always a real treat seeing him play, nothing is out of place. This guy is the best in the game hands-down. The beat daddy.
Love how he makes most of this seem so easy.. like it’s the easiest most laid back track ever... try playing this!! It’s no cake walk😓 Alex has become my source of inspiration when I play. Keep the pocket and get creative without killing the double bass.. no need!! Such a beast!!
Really neat how it starts in 7 with the synths then when everyone comes in it’s two 7s plus a 2 to turn it around (16) and make it fit into 4/4. Camarena really highlights the feel well while being complex yet accessible 🤘🏽
This is coming from a symphonic deathcore/metal/worship drummer of twenty plus years the sheer amount of precision and fluidity that Alex show cases is absolutely immeasurable this takes years of dedication blood sweat and tears of confidence patience and drive when I left metal I had blood stains on my kit this guy is the real deal so underrated gospel chops in a musical metal prospective.
When Howard benson was recording Saosins self titled record. He talked about Their drummer Alex Lopez being “appropriately busy” meaning so exciting to watch but not taking away from the song with excessive parts. This guy is the epitome of that. Writes totally creative parts that add so much to the music.
He goes hard during the last part of the interlude! Saw them live here in LA but couldn't really get a chance to see him drum since he was too far back but man he's just too good!
At a complete loss for words. The time signature change at the end?!?!???? NOT A WORD OF A LIE - I played drums at a gig this morning & accidentally started the song in the wrong time signature & couldn’t recover… THIS DUDE JUST INTENTIONALLY CHANGED THE TIME SIGNATURE, THEN SWITCHED BACK LIKE 4 SECONDS LATER🤯
WillBurhans it’s very uncommon in this genre too. Usually the drummers just hit insanely hard all the way through. It’s refreshing to see this style in metal.
NathanDrums exactly dude. there’s literally no other drummers who play like this in the metal genre. a freaking gospel drummer in a metal band. like this guys musicality just completely destroys every single other drummer in the metal scene.
godDAMN this is so good. I watch this on repeat. I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched it now, like hundreds. This mix is so good I literally blast it in my speakers in my truck while driving and it doesn’t even sound “live”.

One of the most satisfying drummers to watch, his chops are so tight.
way to predictable to me.

Absolutely ! Its a pleasure to watch !
@@colins1358 :D :D I'd hate to hear your drum track writing... Drum track writing is about enhancing the song, not yourself. This guy NAILED that.
I'm a big fan of some flashier guys. (halpern, gartska) but something about his restraint really does it for me.
Alex: starts going hard
Snareweight: aight imma head out
He totally merked it at the end of the Trilogy video 🤣
The drummer, This kit, And whoever mixed this did an amazing job.
Mixed by Chris Ghazel
indeed! 👍
I agree mix is sick
Kidding? The Kit sounds dead... Muted, mixed to complete clicks and thuds....
@@AllanJ...Batmo365 Yeah that's a good mixing FOR METAL, as a producer I can say... that tipe of mixing its really hard to do specially when you don't use any samples
one of THE most underrated drummers out there. Epitome of pocket, intensity, groove, emotion, and precision.
For sure! He’s one of my favorite drummers to watch.
Holy balls. That was amazing. He’s not even playing, he’s like breathing life into the sticks. EPIC!
At least once a week I go back to watch this video.
@@Breno746 Thank you for your service. 🙏
cleanest ghost notes on the scene!
Agree ...
Camarena is one of the cleanest drummers in the scene.
*Josh Manuel has entered the chat*
Luke Holland enters chat
CHRIS TURNER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
That snare pop is cake
Just delicious sound off that snare mmmm
if it sounds like popcorn your doin somethin right
This dude keeps a tight groove and solid pocket. Not overplayed and his dynamics make sense for the song. Dude is a beast.
This dude has some of the most beautiful ghost notes👌
I agree. 👌🏼
That added ending they did on this tour is something else, Especially in person.
Alex is playing deep in the pocket here, amazing. Always a real treat seeing him play, nothing is out of place. This guy is the best in the game hands-down. The beat daddy.
Beat daddy. That KILLED ME
5:07 This is my FAVORITE part of music.. This escape right here as a musician.. Love it
Love how he makes most of this seem so easy.. like it’s the easiest most laid back track ever... try playing this!! It’s no cake walk😓 Alex has become my source of inspiration when I play. Keep the pocket and get creative without killing the double bass.. no need!! Such a beast!!
I come back to this video so often. It's so good!
Thanks for watching!
Him and nic petter from Northlane have so much feel and groove. Hands down best drummer in metalcore.
I'd throw Dan Searle and Dan Furnari in there too
Liam Hawkes eh, neither of them really compare to Alex pocket wise.
Liam Hawkes tbh they don’t rly have that groove and feel that Alex and nic have.
I fully agree man! They're my two fave drummers!
LOL what about Chris Turner from Oceans Ate Alaska and Matt Greiner from August Burns Red?
The greatest snare sound ever
Legit Stunning. Appreciate you, everyone here, and those yet to discover this.
0:58 everything about that ride is amazing. I love how it opens up when you wash it.
Really neat how it starts in 7 with the synths then when everyone comes in it’s two 7s plus a 2 to turn it around (16) and make it fit into 4/4. Camarena really highlights the feel well while being complex yet accessible 🤘🏽

Benson is a beast. Saw him stage side years back. I didnt take my eyes off him
Nate Staggs the guy has produced some amazing sounding records for sure.
5:15 to 5:20 the joy is evident
It's nice to see a drummer actually feel the music he's playing. Dude rips.
I could watch/listen to this man all freaking day.
The snare off section is so smooth and melodic. Loved it front to back!
Thanks for watching!
This dude rips. Such a great style.
That metric modulation after that triplet fill at 5:47 is to DIE FOR
Alex is very good at throwing in prog stuff here and there, without losing groove. So sick.
Absolutely out of this world 🤯
From 3:53 to the end was just such a journey there. I could just feel the energy building. Excellent playing!
Underrated song as well. I wish this one got the credit it deserves
That extra dry crash almost whispers!
I like this drummer a lot
I like too, he is awesome in the 🥁🔥
That part when he turn the snare wire off is just breathtaking, it’s so goodddd
Fuck this guy is amazingly tasteful. To even get to a fraction of that feel for the music...
That interlude is something special. I’ve always wanted to hear Flam Daddy go off on a song. 💆🏾♂️
Silent Planet is awesome. Seen them 3 times in Atlanta through the years
Isildur You’ve probably been at some of the SP shows we’ve filmed then. 🤘🏼
@@drummersanonymous same! any chance you guys will post or share more of this set? last concert before quarantine... it was amazing
Eric Maybe one more song.
He goes hard during the last part of the interlude! Saw them live here in LA but couldn't really get a chance to see him drum since he was too far back but man he's just too good!
He is such a great drummer and this whole band really knocks it out of the park on every track ❤️
I don’t listen to Silent Planet but I watch every video you guys put out on this drummer cause he’s fucking amazing. Love watching him play!
A freaking beast of a player! So solid in the pocket and such emotion when he plays
G.O.A.T That interlude needs to be recorded!! Unreal.
My dude is so smooth on the kit. Love this band!
Feel...play...experience... the world of drumming.
I just keep coming back to this. Can’t get enough.
Back again. Still can’t get enough.
And again.
And again
And again
And again!
I want this live show as a track on spotify asap, it never gets old
Frick yes. This is it boys.
0:57 onwards makes me so happy every time I listen. This man and this band deserve more.
Man this guy is so fluid and crisp!! Throws them timbers like chopsticks kinda reminds me of Morgan Rose love it.
Yea, I love his playing style.
His floor toms are straight beef! Chris did an incredible job with the audio!
I can't stop watching this. Hope I get to see this man play live someday. Incredible
He is so nice. cruel, sharp, wise, tender, beautiful, THE PERFECT DRUMMER. Respect
Officially my fav drummer
Absolutely love everything SP does, and Alex is no exception. The fills are just so sweet and tight
This man is an incredible drummer.
Love the drumming. You can feel the kick in your chest.
That snare is to die for
The Alex feeling on the drums is unreal, awesome like always!
This man's groove is the epitome of being "in the zone"! LOVE watching this man play!
🤘😎🤘
This guy is so solid wow.
Wow. Just... wow.
That drum with the snares off....WOW. Thank you for capturing this!
Goosebumps...
Really killed it there at the end. Bravo!
His videos are probably some of my favorite! His style and chops are probably my biggest inspiration right now
That snare is so satisfying
At a complete loss for words. The time signature change at the end?!?!????
NOT A WORD OF A LIE - I played drums at a gig this morning & accidentally started the song in the wrong time signature & couldn’t recover… THIS DUDE JUST INTENTIONALLY CHANGED THE TIME SIGNATURE, THEN SWITCHED BACK LIKE 4 SECONDS LATER🤯
My favorite drummer! The skills, the energy...Damn!! 💪👍
This is now one of my fav drummers. Damn dude
Best meinl advertisement ever!
Nathan Chase-Meadows literally. Alex has the best musicality when it comes to his cymbal play. such an amazing drummer.
WillBurhans it’s very uncommon in this genre too. Usually the drummers just hit insanely hard all the way through. It’s refreshing to see this style in metal.
NathanDrums exactly dude. there’s literally no other drummers who play like this in the metal genre. a freaking gospel drummer in a metal band. like this guys musicality just completely destroys every single other drummer in the metal scene.
@@user-id2dx4qd6j If you like Alex's plaiyng style, you'll probably also like that of the drummer of Sleep Token. Listen to The Offering as an example
@@NathanChaseMeadows subtle self promo
I am so damn thankful I was in person to experience this. Holy shit what a great instrumental at the end of one of their best songs.
i wish all live drum mixes sounded this well :)
This is soooo pleasing to watch.. god..
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@drummersanonymous is that you on drums! It’s just amazing! This passion. Haven’t seen this from any other drummer for a while!!!
@@stanleypomogiti8633 No, I just film all the drummers on the channel. He’s one of my favorites to watch play though.
Good god, that drumming paired with that mixing!
Amazing. What a subtle incorporation of that interlude into the song.
🤯🤯🤯🤯 this guy is just to much!!
Amazing timing , crisp fills, amazing transitions. One of the best in the game right now
My man‘s lost some weight!! Lookin so fresh!
Was about to make a comment about this too! Alex is an inspiration to me being in a bigger guy too! So happy to see him shred some weight!
MDH hahaha don’t worry man, I thought he was related to them as well haha
Soooo freakin sick!
GOAT
godDAMN this is so good. I watch this on repeat. I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched it now, like hundreds. This mix is so good I literally blast it in my speakers in my truck while driving and it doesn’t even sound “live”.
I have been waiting my whole life to hear and see this.
Great band with a great drummer !!
I hope this bother gets more recognition. Absolutely passion and skill. Incredible work man.
i could watch this on repeat all day
Це дуже потужно ...вау! Давно слідкую за цим хлопцем, мені подобається його стиль гри. Дякую за відео! Thanks!)
Alex, the amazing drummer, your groove, fills, and your sound are incredible. Greetings from Colombia
Dude the chops and feel on 0:57 are unreal
Idk why the hell im here at 2am but I’m glad I am
Love his snare sound!

Unreal playing.
One of my favorite drummers currently...
Such a pocket
Hats off!
Drum daddy is smooth. Like butter.

Incredibly solid drummer. Every fill is perfectly placed!
The last minute or so is phenomenal. Incredible band & have had the pleasure of seeing them live!
❤🔥
