my favourite thing about mr bent is that he does everything while looking like he just learnt a family member died

Drumming for Trivium has got to be one of the best gigs in metal. The riffs and songs those guys write are incredible and there's so much juicy stuff to play with.

You got to get Alex on the podcast. He’d be a great interview

None of their previous drummers have been great live. Alex has finally taken them to where they've always needed to be, live show wise. I absolutely adore the studio stuff, but have always struggled to get into it live. NO MORE!

Travis Smith was pretty damn good live imo, but they just played way too fast back then. Their next few drummers struggled when the rest of the band decided to actually take tempos seriously. Alex is definitely the best player of all of them though, thats for sure

Alex Bent...the BEST drummer for both Trivium and in modern metal IMO, super original and a beast with those limbs of his.

Alex is my favorite metal drummer of today, and damn near my old school favorites Pete Sandoval and Dave Lombardo. This guy uses drums so tastefully, and he's an absolute speed-demon when the song calls for it. His work on their latest album is RIDICULOUS!

THANK YOU FOR THIS! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE I DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL.

You got to do his playthrough of sever the hand aswell, some nasty fills on that one

every upload of yours makes my week easier 💗💗

'That high hat looks like it was set up for someone else' 🤣

Saw them live a few months back in Rogers AR. Didnt disappoint. They were on the megadeth tour. Great concert

The Sin and The Sentence was one of the first vinyl albums I bought since it is such a great album all the way through. Beyond Oblivion is my favorite of the playthroughs.

My man’s hi hat is so far away he has to play with his arms folded.

Need to listen to the drums in Crisis of Revelation. Unreal drum track

Love Trivium, and love the vid, Craig. I've been listening to SFTP for a couple years and somehow never realized you were in that band lol

Seen them live over 10 times and 3 times with Alex. He really does add something and totally brings it to the table live. Solid ass band!

I'm stopping by to have my face melted by talent. *Success*

Watch his shit with arkaik. These drums are like the sweater song from Weezer compared to arkaik

There is a something about Alex that reminds me of Gene Hoglan! That ambidextrous touch - so damn nice to see!

The best part of this video was the drums and Craig reacting to the drums.

Weird of you to talk about burying your beaters and your stanky foot; was listening to your pod with Mr Searle while driving earlier. This dude slays for days. Love them splashies.

Interesting that no one is mentioning where Alex originally came from. He used to play in a technical death metal band calles "Arkaik" if you are interested in his earlier work.

"I'm probably drunk" It's 3 pm.

“His hihat looks like it’s set up for someone else” LOL!!! Thought it was wild how far over to the left it is😂

Love the "Live laugh subscribe" Just need a few butterflies in the opposite corner for extra pazazz!

His parts on the new album sound super hard.

The bell sounds insane!!

Ya know I wanna was the way you got me a lot and you were just gonna was a great man!🔥

Craig! Yes!

His work with arkaik was epic.

Bent is such a talent!

Was just wondering if there's going to be a george kollias video someday?!

Funny puff reviews metal drums Good bant I subbed

I didn't even realize you were playing with Spiritbox and Uderoath next week here in North Carolina..I don't have the money till next week so I was going to have a friend front me and then went we went to buy them they were sold out less than 12 hours later after seeing the gen admissions. I am super sad. I was hoping to meet you and finally get to see Stray play. OH well maybe next time.

He litereally looks like he is just driving along the highway, just like, WHATEVER.

Bent is a monster. Love me some Trivium.

Alex Bent is phenomenal

his stuff in arkaik was good too

oh man, you haven't checked out beyond oblivion and the sin and the sentence. Alex Bent is have fkin monster

Well no, None of Trivium's ex-drummers are now dead. They've had 5 drums: (Backwards*) Alex Bent, Paul Wadke, Mat Madiro, Nick Augusto and Travis. Alex and Nick are 100% Trivium's best drummers. Nick saved the band with 'In Waves' after Travis situation happened, And Alex has now helped massively to elevate the band to a bigger/better/more technical level. Alex is fantastic for Trivium.
