The next video I watched was his most recent cover, The Ills of Modern Man by Despised Icon.  I really loved the video work done in this cover; the multiple angles, crisp image, and slow motion effects, added with his performance makes this a very enjoyable video to watch.  Again, you’ll see his insane speed on his kick and snare, but you’ll also be able to see his technique a little better (especially when it comes to his feet).  I noticed that he does a lot with his feet; standard hits, the use of the heel-toe technique, and the swivel technique.  With a lot of speed and a lot of technique, you can see that Barone has great control and accuracy with his kick.  I’ve seen a lot of drummers who can play fast, not quite as fast as Barone, but they don’t show the control and accuracy as much as he does.  

I also noticed that Barone does use triggers.  Some people say it’s a way to “cheat” when playing the drums, but I don’t believe Barone really relies on them too heavily.  Just watching any of his videos, you can see the speed and hits are more his than the help of the triggers.  I think his use of triggers are just to enhance the audio quality, and they’re not used to really make up for anything because he’s definitely a very solid drummer and looks to be a heavy hitter.  I’ve seen a couple of his videos where he is playing without triggers, and he is just as fast, and just as impressive.  Even so in his first video upload where he plays As Blood Runs Black by Hester Prynne.  I believe he is 15 years old in the video, and surprisingly he was incredibly fast then.  After watching a majority of his videos, I could tell he’s put a lot of work into his playing and he’s gotten better and better over the years.  All in all though, he seems to have been a tremendously good drummer since he picked up his first pair of sticks.
