"Almost definitely".... Sorry friend, but you're pretty off here. The only thing triggered in this video is the kick drum, and the trigger is mixed substantially lower than the natural kick mic. So even that is almost very natural. Triggering everything whack.
Really liked this song from the album, glad you chose to play it! Didn't get to see it live last time you guys rolled through, maybe another set another time!
0:51 is just the most ridiculous display of technique, a right-handed one-footed blast with the left foot, hitting accents with the right hand and opening the hats with the right foot to match. Those kind of dynamics are hard enough with your dominant limbs, FFS Alex
Yeah. That was sick. You got it right. I tried that 0:51 in a very and slowest motion I could but I found it very hard to do. It was like playing with an endless twist..
I've seen the both versions: Lyle's and his. I love both. Lyle has some custom parts, seems, since the videos I've seen were before they released the album. Lovely song.
I think his approach has much to do with endurance for blasting. By having it ambidextrously, he can switch up and spread out the load, so to speak. I also really like how it spreads the sound from the left to right in the mix.
Who needs drugs when u got alex on drums! Very precise and deliberate playing! I dont think ive seen a drummer at this caliber in a very long time. And open handed playing in this generation of musicians. Fucking awsome!
My band played with them/him a couple months ago, completely humbled in their presence! It's my goal to be a Meinl artist one day, all my favorite drummers are!
Mike Post just checked it out after reading your comment... I think it actually looks more badass at 25 fps, but at 50 it’s less intimidating for me as a fellow drummer... his movement actually looks human then haha :D
I love watching your videos because by the end of every one, you are completely covered in sweat. Shows you are working your ass off in the name of metal!
I've been trying to learn your technique for almost a month or so now and I can honestly say that it makes all the difference... I never thought I'd be able to lead with my left hand, and now I (kind of) can ! Thanks for being such an inspiration and kicking that much ass! " David fucking Grohl !!!"
I know you're asking Alex but I have the Pearl Demon drives and I've played the Axis, the pearls have a lot more power and are a lot more customize-able to get the settings you want.
Not quite: there are lots of different blast beat variations. The traditional blast is a single stroke roll with the hands and your bass drum plays at the same time as whatever cymbal you're hitting. Playing the kick, snare and cymbal in unison is a hammer blast.
dude your such a gnarly drummer!! its awesome to see the perfection. your technique is really amazing.... you should do the song "secrets of august" from AMBERKNOX!!!! they kick ass!!
Alex, i have no words to say the great drummer you are... i just want to ask something... play and up load the song Pestilence of the Akeldama cd...!!! thanks for your great inspiration and passion for the musik..! cheers from México City.
hmm, my entire life I always stood behind evans but I tell you what, alex and gavin Harrison make me want to switch to remo just because their toms are so sweet sounding. perfect tones. bombass video, thanks for no vocals as well
It'll be pretty cool to see what he does on the newest Faceless album. I thought it was going to be really hard to find a good replacement for Lyle Cooper, but they found one.
I could never in my life do that even if I practiced the rest of my life - impressive. Don't forget to thank God for your talents - you are blessed and it is a gift.
Alex, the next time you change your skins, could you please do a video on how you tune your drums? Your drum sound is amazing, and I would love to know your technique ;)
I'm pretty sure he plays thomas Haake signature sticks right now which is kind of surprising as those are very light compared to monsters he used before - corpsmaster MS 4 and such.
This is incredible. Also, since I'm sure no one ever requests songs for you to cover...you should give Old Days Born Anew by a listen. That, or To Erase a Lifetime.
perfect bro, serious props here, your one of the most precise metal drummers out there bro, Honor to see you play in NOLA with dillinger...check out dazeinband on youtube for some kool grooves..
I never listen to this genre but watch his video's endlessly. Love it.
Everyone falls into love with Heavy metal drumming :)
yeah lol this genre really truly sucks but alex rudinger and lyle are unbelievable to watch
your channel is like a metal binge watch mate...
your double pedal playing is so precise, the metronome is gazing in awe!
I always have to come back to Rudi's Faceless covers for the ultimate eargasm. Bro, you are THE best! Hands down....
I've been drumming since 1992. You're hands down one of the best drummers I've seen. Keep it up! I'm impressed!
I know who's a great drummer when I see one. Congratulations, buddy. That was SICK!
Incredible! You've been my favourite drummer for quite a while now! Don't stop putting videos up dude, you're friggin insane!
Can't wait to see the rest of the faceless's work here!
11 years later Alex is still the GOAT. Also, this album is perfection.
This dude isnt even really an 'internet artist' yet EVERYTHING he uploads is madness. Ratings!
very excited about your the collaboration with merrow and loomis, looking forward to it!
"Almost definitely".... Sorry friend, but you're pretty off here. The only thing triggered in this video is the kick drum, and the trigger is mixed substantially lower than the natural kick mic. So even that is almost very natural.
Triggering everything whack.
Alex, please give us your rendition of Planetary Duality! happy 2014!!!
Wicked, that is a super efficient set up too.
I love how he plays with his kit set up symmetrically, his right foot high hat stuff always blows my mind,
I love the audio mix in this video!, the drums sounds very natural and articulate!. I wish the new videos sound like this
so sick.. please upload a play through of the first three Autotheistic Movements! Please! hahaha
Really liked this song from the album, glad you chose to play it! Didn't get to see it live last time you guys rolled through, maybe another set another time!
you are enjoying playing drums while being tight as a machine, great to watch!
hope to see you next time in europe!!!
More Autotheism drum videos. Soooooooo good!
So glad I was able to see this live, great performance
0:51 is just the most ridiculous display of technique, a right-handed one-footed blast with the left foot, hitting accents with the right hand and opening the hats with the right foot to match. Those kind of dynamics are hard enough with your dominant limbs, FFS Alex
Yeah. That was sick. You got it right. I tried that 0:51 in a very and slowest motion I could but I found it very hard to do. It was like playing with an endless twist..
Conor Burridge I don't understand how a simple human can do that. This guy is gifted.
I was wondering if this part is an interpretation or in the original too. That part is just surreal..
You my friend, are awesome.
3:10
Happiest drummer ever.
That is the meaning of music right there. Lovin what you do.
Good for him!
I've seen the both versions: Lyle's and his. I love both. Lyle has some custom parts, seems, since the videos I've seen were before they released the album. Lovely song.
I'd love to see a cover for Accelerated Evolution!
I think his approach has much to do with endurance for blasting. By having it ambidextrously, he can switch up and spread out the load, so to speak. I also really like how it spreads the sound from the left to right in the mix.
i am so in love with the album and this is one of the best songs :D
Who needs drugs when u got alex on drums! Very precise and deliberate playing! I dont think ive seen a drummer at this caliber in a very long time. And open handed playing in this generation of musicians. Fucking awsome!
Great job Jesse, from Breaking Bad! Hahaha you're great Alex
you mean will wheaton ?
I mean Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad, he looks like Alex hahaha!
haha i know man i was jokin xD he looks like will wheaton off big bang theory and table top
Compliments on impeccable drumming technique, Alex.
My band played with them/him a couple months ago, completely humbled in their presence! It's my goal to be a Meinl artist one day, all my favorite drummers are!
Broke into a sweat watching this. Calves hurt too... Awesome job Alex!!!
Great song, even greater drums. Love it!
COULD there be a better vehicle for this mans amazing talent!? Truly Alex is in his element, WOW!
Excellent as always.
Do a full play-through of the whole album! :)
Only thing more epic than your facial expressions while you play drums, is your amazing control of your limbs. Sick job man!
Beautiful, Just beautiful.
This is so freaking impressive, as always!
I've never heard so much groove in hard core.
Just watched this in 1080p @ 50fps.
My god, what a weird experience after seeing this video @ 25 fps for almost 2 years.
Mike Post just checked it out after reading your comment... I think it actually looks more badass at 25 fps, but at 50 it’s less intimidating for me as a fellow drummer... his movement actually looks human then haha :D
I love watching your videos because by the end of every one, you are completely covered in sweat. Shows you are working your ass off in the name of metal!
It's beautiful to watch!
Really like your drumming Alex
Just bought the cd
You are very skilled
I've been trying to learn your technique for almost a month or so now and I can honestly say that it makes all the difference... I never thought I'd be able to lead with my left hand, and now I (kind of) can ! Thanks for being such an inspiration and kicking that much ass! " David fucking Grohl !!!"
We're not worthy. We're not worthy. We suck. We suck.
Love the left kick pedal's place-holder!
someday ill see you up on stage, a famous rock star and say, I subscribed to that guy when he had like 100 subscribers. Keep it up man.
"Fuck, that sucked!" - Said NO ONE EVER in the entire history of mankind.
Another great video man!
Great Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice. hands down one of the best drummers in the biz. :)
amazing drums in this song and you aced it nice man!
never cease to amaze me dude, damn!!
I did not know you could get this good my mind will forever be destroyed
yeah true that!! im buying their album that just came out recently :)
Best drummer around. Amazing covers
Thinking of getting a pearl 4 sidedbeater like the one he uses. Adds a nice punch to the kick drum
my favorite song with my favorite drummer, AWESOME RUDY \m/
11 people had a slow computer
11 people died to this video
This is insane beyond words.
Insane technique, this guy is my new hero
I miss the faceless.
Think this is the first time I've ever seen Alex sweat. Great job man.
So awesome!
I know you're asking Alex but I have the Pearl Demon drives and I've played the Axis, the pearls have a lot more power and are a lot more customize-able to get the settings you want.
See what starting early and having godlike dedication is like? Fuckin crazy.
OMG, I've been waiting for another vid! Yay! And, of course a fucking sick one!
Not quite: there are lots of different blast beat variations. The traditional blast is a single stroke roll with the hands and your bass drum plays at the same time as whatever cymbal you're hitting. Playing the kick, snare and cymbal in unison is a hammer blast.
That snare o.o awesome man!!!
dude your such a gnarly drummer!! its awesome to see the perfection. your technique is really amazing.... you should do the song "secrets of august" from AMBERKNOX!!!! they kick ass!!
Alex, i have no words to say the great drummer you are... i just want to ask something... play and up load the song Pestilence of the Akeldama cd...!!! thanks for your great inspiration and passion for the musik..! cheers from México City.

Speechless.

Perfect ! You should do Planetary Duality ...
welcome to the world of remo heads rudy
hmm, my entire life I always stood behind evans but I tell you what, alex and gavin Harrison make me want to switch to remo just because their toms are so sweet sounding. perfect tones. bombass video, thanks for no vocals as well
This guy is a fucking machine..
Unbelieveable... that speed..
Fucking awesome!!!!
It'll be pretty cool to see what he does on the newest Faceless album. I thought it was going to be really hard to find a good replacement for Lyle Cooper, but they found one.
Guys, what are some exercises that I could improve in building my chops and drum rolls around the kit?
Dude, you are a BEAST.
Genioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! otra cosa no te puedo decirrr....
i dont think ive ever seen a happier metal drummer hes just smilin away lol
Damn! he needed his right foot to close the hi hats...brilliant!
He's such a happy drummer
I could never in my life do that even if I practiced the rest of my life - impressive.
Don't forget to thank God for your talents - you are blessed and it is a gift.
Alex, the next time you change your skins, could you please do a video on how you tune your drums? Your drum sound is amazing, and I would love to know your technique ;)
Amazing.
so clean.
damn near perfect! awesome job man,
Favorite song. Thank you! Thumbs up if you sang along too. lol
I'm pretty sure he plays thomas Haake signature sticks right now which is kind of surprising as those are very light compared to monsters he used before - corpsmaster MS 4 and such.
flawless
probably my farvorate song!!
This is incredible. Also, since I'm sure no one ever requests songs for you to cover...you should give Old Days Born Anew by a listen. That, or To Erase a Lifetime.
perfect bro, serious props here, your one of the most precise metal drummers out there bro, Honor to see you play in NOLA with dillinger...check out dazeinband on youtube for some kool grooves..
Still my favorite song on the album
Your drum recordings sound fantastic.. do you happen to have a list of mics used? There are a couple I'm unsure of by looking
2018 anyone?
1:41 the timing and rythm of this part fucks up my mind.
