Damn....its gonna be INSANELY hard to replace Spencer...hes such a ridiculous machine for the entire song while doing switches, gravity, fills, softer sections, accents with the blasts, and more. To do it live, four up to an hour, and touring is gonna narrow it to just a few dudes. That guy doing 360bpm is nuts and should get it imo
