What about Kyle christman from gorgasm

[@adnanrawashdeh3965]

Alex is an absolute tank It cracks me up that he uses that hand technique which is like a stiff hand technique but still he can destroy his drums at tempos such as 280 dude is like a bull playing the drums what a great performer And for you Marthyn today's recommendation is David the brutal billia Definitely you should check this guy is insane

[@TomWolfDrum]

Awesome video! I love Alex and Despised Icon. I find his drum parts to be very musical and catchy.

[@trippybruh1592]

I don't even play drums but I really respect the talent of Despised Icon. They are the top 5 best shows I've been too when they were touring with Winds of Plague.

I met Alex at a show around the same time MVP was a current release. He was super tight the whole time, a fantastic performance. Also Alex was cool as fuck. He looked in amazing shape, was totally ripped, so I asked him if he was working out or whatever and he said no, that he only plays drums. An odd collection of weirdness in his style. Super awesome drummer and seemed to be a really nice person, especially to fellow drummers.

Congratulations on your videos Martyn. I'm not a drummer and don't understand much of drumming but have learnt a lot lately thanks to you.
