Alex Lopez with Suicide Silence at Vans Warped Tour 2010 - part 1

drummer alex lopez with suicide silence at vans warped tour 2010 in atlanta - part 1

[@Ajthejuggalo1]

He can indeed blast with both hands. And i love how he crashes the ride lol

[@ryder7341]

I have alot more respect for this dude now, he's goin IN on those drums

[@intracosm]

If he can roll then he can blast with both hands.

[@Corekidbeenybunny]

His drumming is so simple.

[@jipjipjip2]

+Ben Severance but so heavy

[@AFacemarkedbyFea]

and so not tight

[@gorgardmw222]

Ben Severance ikr this guy is fucking overrated

[@IAmWhoTheGodsDetest]

Simple, but effective. Everyone is so caught up in technicalities that they forget you're aloud to enjoy the simple things. As for the "not so tight" performance, I don't know what you're talking about but his performance here is damn near spot on, aside from the little ride hit instead of china hit at 2:32, but even then it's not even a big mistake.

[@avp927]

Ben Severance I'm sorry, but play like that yourself and then come back and say it's easy. His playing is tight af

[@rammstein8010]

Alez Lopez is the lost twin brother of Robert Trujillo but on the drums LOOL

[@ThatDudeEv]

alex is the reason i love doing blast beats. they're fun :D

[@DavidFletcher49]

the man can't blast with his left yesssss i'm not the only one :)

[@BFMV1000800040]

Werevertumorro eres tu?

[@rockerchik8318]

Alex & Art Cruz are one in the same. Was watching Art in Winds of Plague video on Warped Tour

[@90s267]

It's odd to me how this dude got like partial recognition. Think he'd have more views.

[@crazydrummer452]

dude they were nuts at warped! his drum kit looked pretty intimidating

[@thegreatestmaneverrr]

the face he makes when he blasts = awesome

[@jezzsounds4111]

amazing , very agressive, perfect!

[@YeahIWrestledaBear]

the fuck up at 2:32 makes me feel a lot better about myself. lol

[@oliviaandbands7714]

alex has improved so much over the break.

[@anthonplake]

Someone please tell me what meinl cymbal that is with the gigantic bell...

[@HonkeyKongLive]

@SUICIDESILENCEMNSTER You can blast on either side. When he does those "straight" blasts, he uses his right on the snare. When it's an alternating blast, it's left on the snare. Basically, your right hand goes wherever it needs to so it lines up with the kick drum.

[@smurfhunterguy]

@datommaster Two things, companies don't endorse drummers, drummers endorse companies. And his endorsement only covers drums. He can uses whatever hardware/pedals he likes. But like most drummers, he uses what he has. He has a DW stand, so he uses it.

[@henriqueoliveira2127]

Nice Nice very special moment suiced silence! Alex Lopez ❤ amazening

[@danieljordison0793]

@mosh404 i know one is a MB20 rock china, but not really sure what size, for the one on his left side im not really sure ive seen him use different chinas since endorsed by meinl

[@bass6352]

does any one know what tom heads Alex uses i would really love to know thanks

[@orangerox7507]

the china on the right side is this a mb 20 or an classics china ?

[@pharcydebug]

what a beast

[@99KFAM99]

whats with warped tour bands and the lakers jerseys????

[@deformitygurubashi]

Yet, there he is, and here you are.

[@mynameisirresistable]

he does left too. jesus christ is this the only video youve watched of suicide silence?? watch disengage or no time to bleed

[@dark___passenger7446]

what song is this

[@DDarkwoker]

His facial expressions are just hilarious xD

[@Assimilator702]

@AjaxpuffNstuff Camera mics aren't high quality. Especially on an outdoor stage.

[@MapexRG]

is that a beta 52 micing the floor tom? damn lol. sweet drumming

[@alexanderaultman]

Honestly, does it matter how someone plays the drums? When most people listen to music, they don't care about which hand hits the snare drum. I mean, isn't that what music was made for, to listen to?

[@dj0ntis]

unanswered..

[@safteytorch]

calm calm snare hit GO HAM lol

[@TokezBongz]

0:17 evil stare at camera

[@JUANito993]

you guys should film navene koperweis next

[@BeyondtheEndMetal]

I'm actually kind of with you on this... I think he's a decent drummer.. but I taught myself to use either or, but predominantly, my left hand (I'm right handed). It opens up the whole kit. I'm actually faster now with my left hand because its my blast hand lol.

[@rio_mn]

@SUICIDESILENCEMNSTER That's one way to blast beat. Alex just loves his blast beats.

[@PlanBsk8er999]

@bass6352 im pretty sure theyre clear remo pinstripes

[@xXNiTeBriGAdEXx]

@danieljordison0793 on the meinl website they're both 18" mb20's

[@ethanheath6358]

Lakers jersey, Danny Carey wears one when he drums too

[@rockdahaus]

Danny Carey wears Kansas Jayhawks, Washington Huskies, Toronto Raptors and a few more as well... ;)

[@mosh404]

Does anyone know what china he uses?

[@JakeTheDrummer18]

i dont get why people complain about him using his right hand to blast. the only person i see who blasts with their left hand on the snare is Matt Greiner...thats it! everybody else blasts with their right hand on the snare!!

[@aslandscollapse]

If you watch part 2, he uses his left lots

[@voxdrummer825]

I met Suicide Silence they're chill as fuck!

[@dumadave10]

Monster bellllll!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!

[@Diggeluck]

Mr. Fuzzz182, this song is that because it was originally only an intro. They made into a song and it's supposed to be straight and to the point. >.> their music is more than just that open your fucking ears. :]

[@MrRollerskatingduc]

i was heree

[@tigrisnakkana]

@lambofgodsc Actually think that "fail" gave it an awesome effect :D

[@proto35]

fucking looovvvee suicide silence!!

[@ImmortalSpammer]

this is totally playable.

[@Zunzohz]

2 DW stands and if he's on tour he can't always get stands as quickly if he breaks one.

[@gmurphh1]

I would use a DW stand for my Byzance 22" Medium Crash too. Thing's too big and heavy to be flopping around on Tama hardware. Plus, as someone else said before, maybe he broke a stand and couldn't get another because he's on tour. The DW could just be a replacement.

[@sohaib785]

pretty cool drummer!!

[@DavidFletcher49]

@imdarrellkthx i'm actually not a fan of blasting to be honest. i've just never liked the sound. but i just have like the hardest time to get a continuous bounce out of it unless i'm doing a drum roll.

[@dudewuttheheck]

@chikidrummer his Tamas probably broke (mine have) and lets be honest, EVERY drummer on the warped tour scene uses dw hardware so he probably borrowed them from someone else haha. I love my Tama drums, but the stands are meh at best.

[@AlecFoster103]

2:32 slight mess up

[@satch1237]

how so?????

[@voxdrummer825]

I use Meinl cymbals too! They're fucking amazing!!!

[@AndreHorizon]

@LOLE1991KOVIN How so?

[@DubstepHero1]

woahhh

[@mickeyteagarden6460]

ok, now im fully convinced hes trying to break his kit.

[@JeserNoob]

no ending ;(

[@LukeTomzak]

but sound was different and very good :)

[@epicfails8285]

He reminds How to basic

[@crismaz2010]

👏👏👏

[@intracosm]

lol, yes.

[@ForgettingLastFall]

why cant my drums sound like that

[@pitineo]

lol true it's so unpleasant !

[@ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@agolunda Um no there isn't, both of those things are opinions.

[@CompulsiveDesigns]

Not a slipknot fan whatsoever but from watching this, Joey Jordison.

[@thrasherdrummer8857]

I agree with the guy who said the left hand comment, learn to blast with both hands, it'll make you better player. Also do a skank beat right

[@SuicideSilenceUS]

You obviously havent heard all of Suicide Silences songs ;)

[@allmetaliswelcome]

what's that right china? a mb20?

[@911bambam1]

damn that ride looks fucking massive. good drumming style haha beat the outta them mother fuckers. "noo really reatibilty tho..."

[@xRockDrummah96]

lol yeah, i enjoy the band but ive noticed this too. some of their breakdowns are like.. 52 BPM, so id think theyd get bored with that as well

[@rigorhead01]

@datommaster Cause DW makes the best stands. When his Tama stand failed, he had to break out the ol' trusty DW

[@asterixmelson6605]

mantap main drumnya !

[@SpermyWormy2]

No because we don't listen to Suicide because they have rhythm. We listen to them because they blast the fuck out of everything they have with skill. And when I want to listen to crazy not stop blasts, I listen to Suicide. When I want to hear exceptional rhythm, I listen to Born of Osiris. Bitch.

[@kolemyers21]

i saw 3

[@MrScotty1011]

I wounder who's better Joey Jordison, or Alex Lopez.....

[@Mooning2314]

@randomvideoman87 omg i know!!!!!!

[@BorregaardStudios]

Also called deathcore.

[@JakeTheDrummer18]

@Jleedrummermetal dude ikr! its sssoooo true!!!! Merry Christmas fellow suicidal silencer fan!!!!!!!!(killer of emos)

[@Itsjustc]

look at part 2 of this. at 20 seconds. your arguement is invalid, apparently just like your username.

[@lorenzcinema]

2:32 i think he wanted to hit the china insted of the ride xD

[@justcallmeFREDok]

@xXQcAresiusQcXx I see! Cheers :]

@randomvideoman87 why are YOU glad? lol

[@Petegrin1]

@Entresolsticios you forgive..? wtf

[@itsDarrell]

@chickenbeforeegg and that was an accident, lol..

[@joesamples4127]

shouldn't always do blast beats. What if he's in the middle of his song and he's during a blast beat then one of his sticks brakes. Yeah he can't pull one out that fast to continue the blast beats.

[@myleninromance]

hahaha 2:33 hahah the china cymbal

[@SynesterCblack]

i feel bad for his cymbals..

[@AjaxpuffNstuff]

@jackassNJ2 word, his drums have no tone to them at all it just sounds like hes using 1 tom the whole time haha

[@2014andon]

3:20 Look at his face! Wow, fucking evil!

[@DrewFarmie2]

@adamrasta Unanswered

[@MTJRugby]

i Hate this band but the drummer is pretty insane :D

[@danieljordison0793]

naah he wanted to hit the ride, look at his hand and where he is looking at

[@Abrahamhamham]

The majority of the song is composed of "breakdowns" with short parts of slow blast beats in between (if we could call it like that). I mean...really...what the fuck...

[@ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@improfessoradam Hey whoa there man, that's prejudice.
