}}'''Alex Carapetis''' (born September 1983May 1982) is an Australian-born studio and touring drummer who toured with [[Nine Inch Nails]] for the 2005 Fall Arena Tour leg of the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour.
Carapetis grew up in Adelaide, Australia. It was there that he began playing the drums at age 11, becoming trained in jazz drumming. He has played for several pop artists and has done some touring, though most of his work is in the studio.
Carapetis was offered the drummer position for the remainder of the entire North American tour, which would have included the Winter 2006 Arena Tour and the Summer Amphitheatre Tour. Although he was flattered, he graciously declined the offer. He had no interest in going on an extensive US tour, and also knew that Freese wanted the drummer position in NIN much more than he himself did. Once NIN returned to California after the South American leg of the tour, Carapetis stepped down and Freese stepped in, becoming NIN's official drummer at the 2005 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas concert in Los Angeles. Carapetis has stated that he was not fired from the band and that he and Reznor are still on good terms.
Currently, Carapetis resides in Los Angeles, where he works as a studio drummerand plays in his own band, Crash Hot.
