Trivium's breakdowns so Dream Theater... and I love it. They aren't afraid to make a 10 minute song with multiple transitions. The Alexes are my favorite drummers-- Bent and Rudinger.
LOVE Alex's tom and cymbal work. Guy really plays the WHOLE kit. Love that technicality he brings and sometimes he throws a bit of Latin/Caribbean touch to it. Not enough to sound out of place, but sprinkled in in a way that raises your eyebrows and makes you think, "oh wow, what was that?" They're definitely a different band with him and for the better in my opinion
Nice reaction video good sir. Alex did another play through for the song Like a Sword of Damocles this week. Might be one of the best songs off their new album.
Lamb of God and Trivium and two of some of my favorite metal bands, and Chris Adler and Alex Bent are two of my favorite drummers of all time. Awesome reaction, brother.
Alex is very expressive with his playing, it’s not just his technical ability and speed- he colors the songs very nicely- you can tell he’s bored easy with the cliche metal stuff
