Alright everyone, we all know this guy isn't the best drummer in the world. But actually, he joined the band at around 17 and started recording the album Homesick at 18. So, this guy right here is really successful and badass!
@@combatwombatt I hope 4 years of aging has brought you to the realisation that over playing and not playing for the song is trash and you should never do it anywhere but your basement.
this is possibly my favorite video on youtube [: i just started drumming a couple weeks ago and i've been a huge fan of adtr for a while. alex shelnutt is my hero! :D
I love Shenut. Not only is he a really solid drummer but he improvises live really well. I also like how they played this song faster. He's just an all around great drummer.
he looks like a robot drumming machine! all his moves are so clean, i mean he doesnt put alot of headbanging and craziness into his drumming like alot of others, but everything he does and every time he hits something on his drum kit you can hear it distinctly!
Lol, I didn't know the exact amount of time and I thought I saw an interview somewhere where he said "around ten years," but you are right, after looking it up it's definitely only been 7-8 years (depending on when in 2002 he started).
drumd00d Except, Alex doesn't use Meinl anymore, hahaha, he uses Zildjian. Meinl still has great cymbals. He also switched from Truth Custom Drums to SJC Custom Drums.
@haight thanks man but one more thing do you know of a drum brain that has the 808 sample or one that you can import the sample into thats semi-lowish price lol. i dont think the rolands im looking at have them... like the td-4?
i would click on "like" again to this video if i could...DAMN! the fills in downfall...just got damn awesome! and like all u ppl already said, he is playing waay faster than in the studio...BUT F-ING BETTER! a million-time-likes video =)
@haight so if i buy for example a roland electric pad made for one of their electric drum sets and use it by it self, hooked up to one of their drum modules i can achieve this? or do i need some thing else too... =/
