10 Different Drummers Play "Sugar We're Going Down"

This week, you're joining Alex to help audition some new drummers. The old drummer, Alex, got picked up by a TikTok tour and won't be back for a while, so you and Alex attempt to pick up the pieces of the band.

What I love about Alex is he’s insanely talented and puts together super high quality stuff but he comes across as just a nice approachable dude. Kinda guy you’d wanna just be buds with.

[@sumguy12345etc]

I met him in Phoenixville, PA for his show there with thecolorfred. He is an amazing, kind, easy-going dude. He’s incredibly humble too. I mentioned how seeing him perform was a bucket list thing for me like seeing DragonForce was and he said something along the lines of “I’m honored to be in the same sentence as them oh my gosh.” Great person 10/10

[@MolliOlli182]

I can only wish Alex was my buddy ❤

[@dbuyer]

He’s a better drummer with one hand than I am with two haha!

[@CigLivery]

The kinda guy I wanna be when i grow up.

[@apfundhe13]

oh man i'd love a full song with the metal guy drumming

[@DrSpitalfieldgood]

1:45 double bass complex, cock it and pull it

[@DaveKratter]

His name is Alex Metalton.

[@threeme2189]

@@DaveKratter Bring on Alex and the Metaltons! 🤟🏻🤘🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻

[@suakeli]

Definitely! I'd listen to a whole album of "pop punk with metal double pedals"

[@JD2jr.]

++++

[@TargetHHH101]

That double bass metal guy during the chorus actually works really well. The overplaying during the buildup would be sick live.

[@bballmaster1209]

The indie guy being over pop punk but growing up listening to Travis is too accurate lmao

[@javihernandez2755]

As a pop punk drummer I can assure you every one of us have that phase where we need to play unintuitive beats from time to time just to feel alive... But in the end we're just holding ourselves not to play the straight on-beat 4/4 that the song asks for 😂

[@gals.182]

lmao, I feel attacked

[@chris-hunger]

... best comment 😂😂😂

[@OverTheTop85]

"Nobody can match the chemistry we have, it's almost like we're the same person!" That was good.

[@joshuas9187]

Indie drummers crushing it as usual

[@NathanPhelpsMcPhelpsius]

I dunno. I'm kind of over being over things. Well into muh 30's and back to pop punk, lol.

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

That drumming was a chef's kiss

[@JordanTomb]

Dang! Ableton guy almost had it. Hope we see him again.

[@musicmade6993]

I wanted him to hit the drop

[@TheDistur]

He only knows one beat, but it's killer.

[@CurtisKlope]

Yeah honestly the punk one was great

[@dimitarfroze8046]

Punk one slapped

[@patricklarocca1674]

I pretty much died when I saw that... And as I scrolled through my Spotify Playlist with "new bands"... They all pretty much had the same drum line.

[@RedrumVideoProductns]

The Metal Guy is basically also the Easycore guy. Interchangeable when you apply it to this sound.

[@dontgojohnson]

The Worship Guy had me rolling. So accurate (face and all) 😂

[@christopherwilson5617]

I came here to say the same thing. That took me out!

[@bobbyomari5500]

Indie guy has that math rock vibe 🤘

[@DonQuiKong]

can't beat the offset backbeat...

[@dovahkindragonborn9827]

POP PUNK GUY only knows one beat but what a beat it is! ... instantly put a smile in my heart

[@JoshIdstein]

I love the slow worldbuilding of the Alex Cinematic Universe, a place where everyone looks like Alex, and everyone is as insanely talented as Alex.

[@jpjoshua19]

Can you please find a bunch of Lookalikes that play well and go on tour. It would be the ultimate meme.

[@hangloosetjt]

Every time I hear the “worship guy drums” I think it sounds just like the Third Eye Blind untitled album 😂 But got damn it slaps. So airy and uplifting

[@mrgotitfordalow]

One of the most talented dudes on KZbin.

[@eliezerschmulowitz3632]

Hands down the best!!

[@freaksmeout]

can't disagree with that!🔥

[@artursiciliano2504]

He's definitely one of the dudes on KZbin.

[@jarquitt21]

He looked the happiest doing metal drums. Now we know that the world needs an easycore cover of Sugar we're going down

[@DavidTWGoliath]

That thriller intro is sick! One of FOB’s most underrated songs. I love the little Easter eggs you throw into covers.

[@nojustno3331]

underrated? Isn't it their biggest hit?

[@hudsonja]

​@@nojustno3331Thriller? No way, SWGD is by far, or Dance Dance

[@nojustno3331]

@@hudsonja then it was their first hit. either way, not underrated. It got nonstop radio play for years.

[@hudsonja]

@@nojustno3331 I don't think it was ever officially released as a single, but maybe your local stations played it anyway. If so, lucky you.

[@DavidTWGoliath]

@@nojustno3331 Thriller was the intro song on Infinity on High, their third album, and they had three singles off of that album that charted and had constant radio play. I'm not sure which song you're thinking of, but Thriller never had that level of success.

[@konnormusic17]

This drum impersonation cover of FOB is even more metal than the Fireflies cover of other famous drummers. Nothing like Alex and Meltons taking a long hiatus and coming back more metal than ever! 😮😂

[@snapjackal]

Just discovered you. This is the most well produced/executed video I've seen doing the "10 types of" format.

[@jacobjdog]

The creativity is off the charts with this one. Awesome video, Alex!

[@_TG]

The double kick is so gnarly on this song I need it NOW

[@Jobrill]

This was a hilarious skit and a great take on one of my favorite FOB Songs! I gotta admit, Ableton guy was kind of a vibe. Metal guy too. Wouldn't mind seeing them back sometime.

[@StartofBroadcastDay]

As a worship leader, the tom drum build got me so good lol

[@tycimaglio9222]

The guitars during the metal section were unreal. The drumming was great too obviously but wow the riff changes on the guitars were a very welcome surprise!! great work as always!

[@Fogoat]

Absolutely killed it on this one. Really loved the metal guy style. Really got into those double kicks hardcore lol.

[@nuketurnal2]

would love to see a band to actually incorporate all these different styles in their songs

[@kickinwing131]

Need another power hour! Haven't heard from Jeremy in a while!

[@earlm]

THIS!

[@wolfegaming36]

I love that we are the bassist. That look down, pluck pluck, as a bassist irl just feels *right* ya know?

[@durona]

That was so great! Kinda felt like I was picking my class for an epic band RPG!

[@Dang3rMouSe]

The Party Guy😂 Many years ago we were trying out drummers & setup in this one dude's basement. Had a nice kit & seemed promising. He constantly wasn't ready to begin & leaving the room. Eventually we were like come on man, we haven't got all day. We could already tell he was a little fucked up & smell the alcohol on him. He was like ok, sits down, sets up a HUGE coke line on his hi hat & took it straight to the dome. We played for maybe 20 mins & called it. He couldn't keep time & kept speeding up. I partied but that was for after playing. And besides, he didn't even offer us some lol

[@neilsacay7548]

Awesome jacket! I love The Starting Line!

[@Not_Harvard]

The cymbal work on the indie guy was so on point lmao

[@newtpv]

Super fun production. Thanks for this vid bro. Brings me right back to highschool vibes. Good stuff 🎉

[@communismisgarbage]

Same!

[@onewhoNEVERwins]

What the! My guy! The editing and production of THE STORY/VIDEO is S tier (not to mention the music which is always phenomenal)! How did you develop character so well in a few minutes?? National treasure, you are.

[@slotholopolis2314]

Well this song is going to be stuck in my head again like it's 2005 again. Thanks a lot!

[@wesleydick7727]

The camera freaking out on the overplaying one had me cracking up! too good

[@88guernica]

Camera work took this vid over the top for me! Amazing video 10/10

[@kevinetheridge6153]

This was a great one. So fun. Well done!

[@jvever4904]

What a fun twist to your 10 styles videos! Love it.

[@dukeadams]

Hey man, the editing on this is nutso good. Stellar effort here that paid off huge. Bravo Alex.

[@Androssity]

Man I felt that “Worship Guy” transition coming up seconds before! So spot on!

[@MrRVA2]

These never disappoint!! 🔥🔥 as always!!

[@cassperegrine]

This is next level. LOVE your creativity and am always excited to see a new video of yours pop up.

I LOVE these funny skits you do while casually delivering sick beats.

ahh loved thisssss the sketches add so much

[@TriangleSmooth]

The worship guy had me rolling. My brother plays that character exactly like that.

[@McLovin201]

I need more of these

these are my favorite types of videos he does!!! Please more of these!!!!

[@aPAC689]

A couple things. First off this is an AWESOME cover of this song. Absolutely love it. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and I’m sincerely impressed. Second I’m a worship drummer for my church so the tom build was unexpected and got a genuine laugh out of me so thank you for that 😂 Great video man!

[@JakeLanevideo]

Been waiting for this one for a while! 🎉

[@mg1110]

This was incredible!

[@r.de.andrade]

High quality stuff as usual.
