What I love about Alex is he’s insanely talented and puts together super high quality stuff but he comes across as just a nice approachable dude. Kinda guy you’d wanna just be buds with.
I met him in Phoenixville, PA for his show there with thecolorfred. He is an amazing, kind, easy-going dude. He’s incredibly humble too. I mentioned how seeing him perform was a bucket list thing for me like seeing DragonForce was and he said something along the lines of “I’m honored to be in the same sentence as them oh my gosh.” Great person 10/10
As a pop punk drummer I can assure you every one of us have that phase where we need to play unintuitive beats from time to time just to feel alive... But in the end we're just holding ourselves not to play the straight on-beat 4/4 that the song asks for 😂
This drum impersonation cover of FOB is even more metal than the Fireflies cover of other famous drummers. Nothing like Alex and Meltons taking a long hiatus and coming back more metal than ever! 😮😂
The guitars during the metal section were unreal. The drumming was great too obviously but wow the riff changes on the guitars were a very welcome surprise!! great work as always!
This was a hilarious skit and a great take on one of my favorite FOB Songs! I gotta admit, Ableton guy was kind of a vibe. Metal guy too. Wouldn't mind seeing them back sometime.
@@nojustno3331 Thriller was the intro song on Infinity on High, their third album, and they had three singles off of that album that charted and had constant radio play. I'm not sure which song you're thinking of, but Thriller never had that level of success.
Every time I hear the “worship guy drums” I think it sounds just like the Third Eye Blind untitled album 😂 But got damn it slaps. So airy and uplifting
What the! My guy! The editing and production of THE STORY/VIDEO is S tier (not to mention the music which is always phenomenal)! How did you develop character so well in a few minutes?? National treasure, you are.
The Party Guy😂 Many years ago we were trying out drummers & setup in this one dude's basement. Had a nice kit & seemed promising. He constantly wasn't ready to begin & leaving the room. Eventually we were like come on man, we haven't got all day. We could already tell he was a little fucked up & smell the alcohol on him. He was like ok, sits down, sets up a HUGE coke line on his hi hat & took it straight to the dome. We played for maybe 20 mins & called it. He couldn't keep time & kept speeding up. I partied but that was for after playing. And besides, he didn't even offer us some lol
I would love to hear a whole series of videos/music like this. Also another set of videos with the metal drummer playing the songs. Love your videos Alex! Thank you for the content. Hope to see you in concert someday! Please make this available on youtube music. I have listen to this for hours. But I'm hating the manual clicking back to the start of the song.
A couple things. First off this is an AWESOME cover of this song. Absolutely love it. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and I’m sincerely impressed. Second I’m a worship drummer for my church so the tom build was unexpected and got a genuine laugh out of me so thank you for that 😂 Great video man!

I can only wish Alex was my buddy ❤
He’s a better drummer with one hand than I am with two haha!
The kinda guy I wanna be when i grow up.
oh man i'd love a full song with the metal guy drumming
1:45 double bass complex, cock it and pull it
His name is Alex Metalton.
@@DaveKratter Bring on Alex and the Metaltons! 🤟🏻🤘🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻
Definitely! I'd listen to a whole album of "pop punk with metal double pedals"
++++
That double bass metal guy during the chorus actually works really well. The overplaying during the buildup would be sick live.
"Nobody can match the chemistry we have, it's almost like we're the same person!"
That was good.
Indie drummers crushing it as usual
I dunno. I'm kind of over being over things. Well into muh 30's and back to pop punk, lol.
That drumming was a chef's kiss
The Metal Guy is basically also the Easycore guy. Interchangeable when you apply it to this sound.
The indie guy being over pop punk but growing up listening to Travis is too accurate lmao
As a pop punk drummer I can assure you every one of us have that phase where we need to play unintuitive beats from time to time just to feel alive... But in the end we're just holding ourselves not to play the straight on-beat 4/4 that the song asks for 😂
lmao, I feel attacked
... best comment 😂😂😂
POP PUNK GUY only knows one beat but what a beat it is! ... instantly put a smile in my heart
Dang! Ableton guy almost had it. Hope we see him again.
I wanted him to hit the drop
The Worship Guy had me rolling. So accurate (face and all) 😂
I came here to say the same thing. That took me out!
One of the most talented dudes on RUclips.
Hands down the best!!
can't disagree with that!🔥
He's definitely one of the dudes on RUclips.
This drum impersonation cover of FOB is even more metal than the Fireflies cover of other famous drummers. Nothing like Alex and Meltons taking a long hiatus and coming back more metal than ever! 😮😂
The creativity is off the charts with this one. Awesome video, Alex!
Just discovered you. This is the most well produced/executed video I've seen doing the "10 types of" format.
He only knows one beat, but it's killer.
Yeah honestly the punk one was great
Punk one slapped
I pretty much died when I saw that... And as I scrolled through my Spotify Playlist with "new bands"... They all pretty much had the same drum line.
I love the slow worldbuilding of the Alex Cinematic Universe, a place where everyone looks like Alex, and everyone is as insanely talented as Alex.
The double kick is so gnarly on this song I need it NOW
The guitars during the metal section were unreal. The drumming was great too obviously but wow the riff changes on the guitars were a very welcome surprise!! great work as always!

That thriller intro is sick! One of FOB’s most underrated songs. I love the little Easter eggs you throw into covers.
underrated? Isn't it their biggest hit?
@@nojustno3331Thriller? No way, SWGD is by far, or Dance Dance
@@hudsonja then it was their first hit. either way, not underrated. It got nonstop radio play for years.
@@nojustno3331 I don't think it was ever officially released as a single, but maybe your local stations played it anyway. If so, lucky you.
@@nojustno3331 Thriller was the intro song on Infinity on High, their third album, and they had three singles off of that album that charted and had constant radio play. I'm not sure which song you're thinking of, but Thriller never had that level of success.
He looked the happiest doing metal drums. Now we know that the world needs an easycore cover of Sugar we're going down
Indie guy has that math rock vibe 🤘
can't beat the offset backbeat...
Awesome jacket! I love The Starting Line!
Can you please find a bunch of Lookalikes that play well and go on tour. It would be the ultimate meme.
Absolutely killed it on this one. Really loved the metal guy style. Really got into those double kicks hardcore lol.
Every time I hear the “worship guy drums” I think it sounds just like the Third Eye Blind untitled album 😂 But got damn it slaps. So airy and uplifting
Punk drummers are my favorite. They're so fun and energetic
What the! My guy! The editing and production of THE STORY/VIDEO is S tier (not to mention the music which is always phenomenal)! How did you develop character so well in a few minutes?? National treasure, you are.
Liking for the The Starting Line hoodie
That was so great! Kinda felt like I was picking my class for an epic band RPG!
wow somehow they all work really good in the arrangement!
Super fun production. Thanks for this vid bro. Brings me right back to highschool vibes. Good stuff 🎉
Same!
Well this song is going to be stuck in my head again like it's 2005 again. Thanks a lot!
The editing is nuts in this video!
Camera work took this vid over the top for me! Amazing video 10/10
Damn! One of my all-time favorite songs from that era! Love this, as always!
I haven’t recommended a single RUclips channel more than Alex. Hyped for this vid as a drummer!
Man I felt that “Worship Guy” transition coming up seconds before! So spot on!
As a worship leader, the tom drum build got me so good lol
The Party Guy😂

would love to see a band to actually incorporate all these different styles in their songs
The camera freaking out on the overplaying one had me cracking up! too good
Amazing drumming and killer vocals! You never cease to amaze me with your covers, Alex.
Need another power hour! Haven't heard from Jeremy in a while!
THIS!
What a fun twist to your 10 styles videos! Love it.
This was so much fun to watch, Alex you just make the world a brighter place and thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us ❤❤❤
Hey man, the editing on this is nutso good. Stellar effort here that paid off huge. Bravo Alex.
This cover is awesome ❤🎉
The talent! THE SHEER TALENT!! HOW DOES HE HAVE THAT MUCH TALENT?!!!
Ugh, The Starting Line hoodie hits.HARD. Love it!
1. I'd listen to a full Ableton cut for sure.
2. Your voice totally rules for this song.
3. The editing here is just next level.
these are my favorite types of videos he does!!! Please more of these!!!!
The Worship Guy: Not to be Confused with the Ableton Guy
Mixing metal into punk sounds amazing
True talent in every way!
These never disappoint!! 🔥🔥 as always!!
Need a full length metal version!
I enjoyed this whole video. Every style of drumming. I’d listen to this song the way you did it.
I really connect with the high guy vibes 😂This was such a dope creative vid bro! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The storytelling and how ya shot this one! All kneel at the mountain of Melton.
I love this guy...much ❤ from Golddorf.
Alex - You are so talented! ❤
Creative as always! One of the best musicians ever!
This was a great one. So fun. Well done!
This is ten different callout posts in one and I love that energy
The BEST youtube channel around. Keep killing it my friend!
The Worship Guy got me 😂 they love those floor toms
Such a fun video! Great work and musicality as always!
The cymbal work on the indie guy was so on point lmao
Love that Starting Line hoodie!
Dude I loved this so much! So much fun. My band has covered this song and I want to do it again and incorporate some of these ideas.
Love how the party guy loses his stick at the end there :). Love these vids! All the best to you!
These videos became AMAZING! I'm loving see and hearing from the guy a lot more. He is hilarious and seems super cool.
Endless entertainment! Thank you Alex
I LOVE these funny skits you do while casually delivering sick beats.
Super creative. I loved this!
Seriously amazing
Yaaaaay The Starting Line hoodie!!!
I need more of these
You're face on the High Guy. Lol! Dude, NAILED IT! All of it actually. Very well done! 🎉
Each one of these needs to be an entire cover in its own right!
Thriller in the intro!
Dudes was so talented why is he not blowing up!
Oh no, I'm the dreaded combo of: Party Guy, Metal Guy & Overplaying Guy, haha!
I'm insufferable.
I love your creativity. Another wonderful video.
This is so well made on every level
This is next level. LOVE your creativity and am always excited to see a new video of yours pop up.

Grinning all the way through. Amazing work as always
