I can never get down with 20 inch rides. They are just too light and I don’t like screwing the nut super tight on my ride cymbal, and the stick definition isn’t great compared to 22 inch rides. 20 inch rides just look awkward to me personally having your ride cymbal same size as my china and main crash. Whatever works for you but that’s just me personally, 22s are the perfect ride size. The smallest I have is a 21 inch transition ride only cause that’s the only size that ride comes in and that feels small to me. It’s crazy how 1-2 inches makes a huge difference in feel and looks and sound. My 22 inch extra dry medium ride, 22 inch traditional medium ride, 22 inch sand ride, and 22 inch dark ride are all amazing. TAMA AND MEINL ALL DAYYYY.
I noticed that the drums are panned from the perspective of a drummer, but since this is a performance that we are watching I think it would make more sense to flip to fit the perspective of the audience. Although, if it was on an album then I think this mix makes sense. Sounds incredible either way.
Think he played a triplet on the Tom instead of a quadruplet, barely a mistake but could’ve been one. It’s Alex rudinger so the standard of excellence is already above and beyond us mere mortals haha
Don’t get me wrong this is definitely amazing drumming but in my opinion i just think the drums are too overwhelming for the song. That’s just my opinion tho.
Everyone praises Nolly's drum mix sounds but I've never understood the hype. If you want drums that sound over processed and midi-like, then sure Nolly is great, probably the best. But who are people going to these days for natural sounding drum mixes?
Thinking he is some kind of expert and can tell us something about Nollys mixing but is using the term "over processed". That is not an actual word in audio enginering and your usage of it allready qualifies your comment as one of a non professional, who is not to listen to.
Lol. I think your drum set got crappy mics, mic replacement, drum heads & tuning that you didn't realize that those are the almost natural drum sounds. Nolly did told that he doesn't like a over-processed drum as this would eliminate the tone of the drums. A good sound engineer is a person that always learn & find many techniques for better music producing. Not a "keyboard-warrior/jealousy engineer" like you dude, that searching for people's weakness.
Check out kurt ballou from converge! I think he has the perfect way of making drums sound 100% natural, yet utterly devastating, he's probably my favourite producer, you should check him out if you don't know him yet!
Alex deixou um pouco a desejar honestamente... podendo tocar umas musicas do Conquering Dystopia, The Faceless , Ordinance... Senti falta do metal que ele sempre costumava tocar!!!
Hitting cymbals with different intensity produces different sounds. Soft: Pschssssssssssssssssss... Hard: *PSCHS* Sssssss... Ok, why hitting cymbals hard produces shorter sustain? It doesn't really but the sound engneer will have to bring the gain down to a lower level compared to someone who hits them softly, so the dynamic range will actually decrease. Alex is my favorite drummer but I still think he could put a bit more dynamics into his playing, especially when there is no heavy metal involved, like here.
Actually, he really only goes through a few a year, and that's probably much more from them wearing down because he plays a ton. Thinner cymbals help a ton. The sound here is what's most important!
This video certainly shows your versatility Alex. Well played!
Nice to see him play some fusion stuff. Used to see him play metal all the time! BEAST of a drummer!!!
Alex Rudinger's songs have an addictive sound quality and mix
the nolly
It's from Evan Brewer, actually.
João Ferreira he was talking about the mix.
Hélder Tiago Fair enough :)
Nolly all day. Best in the business.
DAMN.. Never get tired of watching Alex! Killer feel and hard hitter!
Sick song from Evan Brewer
Wow. From the 3 minute mark to the end...I just can't stop watching it!!!
I would love to play that video game.
What a beast of a drummer! A really hard hitting powerhouse. RESPECT!!!
oh yes im so stoked you played some evan brewer this rules
Amazing player, amazing song 👌👌👌
I gotta go back and listen to this album again 😌
One word: Nolly
It's from Evan Brewer's second solo album, actually (don't know if Nolly produced it or something, though).
Moly
What a beast goddamn Alex!
Great drum part 🎉
2:00 holy fucking hell, I need to learn this
Absolute genius
Third. Alex is th shiznitt. As always super talented stuff herr
Agreed william. Excellent player!
👌🏾☺️ at 50sec mark when that bass comes in
Sir, you're in top 5 drummers of the actuality, in opinion, of course.
I showed this to my landlord and he accepted it as rent for the month.
Beast!!!!!
That right hand main china incredible
What snare is he smashing is the more important question?
Best drummer don't @ me
HIHisLife I agree
Anyone know offhand who’s playing the *KILLER* Fretless Bassline on the backing tracks?
That shit got me at 2:02
Damn I was hoping for him to go off after that tempo build up at the end.

The only reason I have a 20 inch is because I didn’t have enough money for the 22 inch
^^
that reads so weirdly yet so true
nice one
Alex has the ultimate drum sound. Except his stacks though.
The last cymbal on the right of him, which one is that? I like the sound and wanna get one for myself
Luke Holland Meinl Bullet Stack
LukeBogart thank you! :)
Rudinger As Leader
Jessie Pinkman got really good after the crystals

kalos
I think you can see his bullet stack bent because of the hard hits lol. Compare this to the other vid
Kevin Nguyen Drums he’s also using a classics custom crash on left in this one, must have been a hard-hitting set...
Nah, he just turned the bottom cymbal around. Guess he wanted a less cutting sound for this one. Such a versatile stack!
Jan Flöer nah , its bent. Look at the other videos from this performance
Kevin Nguyen Drums I have and trust me, he turned it around between songs. Hence the completely different sound.
Jan Flöer look at 1.54 , he is surprised about the fact it bent.
There's Alex and Virgil, and then everyone else...
Ummmm... yeah.. I really can't say anything.. mind=blown
Did you write the original drums to this song?
Alex, Did you mess up at 0:50? Other post noticed something-I can not tell, maybe you missed a tom or something? or not? Peace Man.
0:50 Proof that hes a human lmfao
I only just noticed that after watching this so many times ahaha

Don’t get me wrong this is definitely amazing drumming but in my opinion i just think the drums are too overwhelming for the song. That’s just my opinion tho.
I know it's an old comment, but he didn't write the drums, Evan Brewer programmed it and Alex is playing it exactly the way Evan wrote.

Noone, because everyone can get a "natural" sounding drum mix by themselves.

It’s a real shame when someone states a valid opinion and proceeds to get slammed by 3 consecutive people.
What The Fukc did I just see •_•
cash money
First
Alex deixou um pouco a desejar honestamente... podendo tocar umas musicas do Conquering Dystopia, The Faceless , Ordinance... Senti falta do metal que ele sempre costumava tocar!!!
I think, he is playing too hard for this track.
sehr schön! mehr Fusion von Alex und weniger metal bitte !
Dude must go through a set of cymbals on a weekly basis. It's completely unnecessary to hit that hard.
Johnbobon What hahahahaha. I see nothing unusual about how hard he hits. And hes the kinda guy who can go through that many since he is sponsored.
Hitting cymbals with different intensity produces different sounds.
Soft: Pschssssssssssssssssss...
Hard: *PSCHS* Sssssss...
