It must be such an empowering feeling to be able to play drums like this

I went to high school with Alex, had an art class with him, and wrote a school article on him my sophomore year. His hair was down to his ass back then. He's one of the kindest people. His talent always far surpassed everyone else in my town.I'm really happy he's so successful, it is well deserved.

Watching this since 2014 .. still doesnt get old .. probably one of the best drum videos in youtube

Even after 10 years, this is top notch. Musicality, Dexterity, Chops, Microtiming, Dynamics, Feeling. Everything on 11.

[alexfrith]

what impresses me the most is the fact his drum kit is almost symmetrical and he can lead with both left and right handed. This guy MUST be ambidextrous, this is incredible.

This might be one of the most iconic performances in the whole history of drums and drumming.

God I love the jazz influence the faceless uses in their music it adds such a nice touch.

It's nice to see that Jesse got away from the meth and became a drummer.

He’s better with his left hand than I am at life

[jestifermangora]

When I started watching this I was eating bread. When it was finished, I was eating toast!

[Ryguypie]

I just realized that he was only 21 in this video. That's absolutely insane

[tiz._.]

I play drums. He plays drums.

But when i look at this video its like we are playing a different instrument.
Crazy how damn good he plays

[megyalilaballad]

Hah! That soulful lean in on the cymbal at 2:13. Love it!

[riley]

These drums are seriously the most "polished" tech death drums I've heard. Maybe not the most insanely technical ones(but still insanely technical), but everything about this song is just well-used and classy. It definitely was the stand out song off of this album for me.

[RaxR]

How could anybody downvote this video? The playthrough is absolutely perfect. No way a sincere person with musical knwoledge would think this was bad.

[TheCzar]

2:10-2:35 gets me every time.Lyle did an amazing job coming up with those parts.

[xenomorph]

0:36 is why I love this song so fucking much! Black metal elements in a technical death metal song! Overall a masterpiece from an equally masterful album

[ElAntroDeDager]

I love how this song is so interestingly written that you can listen to the instrumental without feeling there's a voice missing.

[Killdozer]

This video I show my friends when we talk about perfect presision drumming. Pure excellence.

2021 and this is still a parable in the holy tome of godly drumming!!!
