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
Yo you just keep getting better! Should hit up some Moffett cymbal setups now. Haven't seen anyone hitting cymbals behind the head recently. Keep it up bro!!!!
