@@DavidGeelan2029 Yeah its pretty hard to replace anyone in a band like that where all their best material has been released by essentially the same 4 people. Only the bassist has really been changed and clearly hes been a good fit. Im not in any band but I can imagine that a personality match is almost as important as skill match when you go touring and writing as much as they do.

Not to mention, I don’t think anyone else with an audition up has nearly as much touring experience. Like, dude has toured with Ne Obliviscaris and Benighted. As good as some of the auditions are, having real world experience playing long sets of intense drum parts night after night probably goes a long way, and Archspire tour quite a bit

The fact that Kevin has the confidence to also put some of his own stamp and style on the material, not just try for the most perfect possible aping of Spencer, is an attractive quality. I'd think Archspire would be looking for someone to write with in future, and bringing something original of yourself to the material is important for that.

Yet again ONE TAKE, COMPLETE PLAYTHROUGH with no jump cuts. 1:05 is MADNESS!! I think what it is about Kevin guys is that is not even just the speed! It is the precision/timing as well as power too. He hits hard enough to still articulate every hit while simultaneously not lagging and being right on time. He provides a human element to Archspire but in a proper way. It is not an accurate machine, but one of the most accurate human beings possible! Archspire need to hire this man now, plus we already know he can handle the endurance to play full live shows live this just by looking at his Benighted touring cams.
