@alexbeast14 Hey man, thanks very much for the kind words. It really does mean a lot to me when people legitimately appreciate and enjoy my drumming and videos. I will continue to upload and continue working, so thanks for the support! Oh and, sweet name! ;)
He's 19???Younger than me...i didn't know that...he's absolutely amazing,maybe who is not a drummer can't realize how much this guy is skilled.I will never tired to watch his videos and support him,he deserves it
Damn I remember when I got this album back in '06 when I was 7th or 8th grade. Would love to see more songs from this album but doubt it lol. Alex you've come a very long way and keep up the good work
Great cover!!! The mix of the drums on this album is among the best ones i've ever heard and Dirk Verbeuren is an incredible and a sooo smooth metal drummer. Bravo!
@mdterps1042 Ok for the record...Dirk is a beast and his drum parts are always not only technical, but fit the music perfectly. But all Dirk's aside. You hit it hard and nailed it with your own flavor. Guys like you are why i support the youtube scene so much. For making art so available to the people. Without youtube, we'd be missing out on a lot of great inspiration. Thanks so much for posting these vids. Keep it up!
i honestly, no homo.. am addicted to your videos, i listen to your music every single day. i have like 30 songs on my ipod. your my idol, i aspire to be a drummer, your absolutely amazing, i appreciate your work beyond words, i pray you never stop drumming, talent like this is once in a lifetime, your my favorite subscription. and i have 1.6k subscriptions.. i fucking love your work man, keep it up! please!
perfect drumming and the word perfect is defined by you ... definitely :) btw the new threat signal cd is mind-blowing, I listen to the album nearly 24/7! love your work!
Craziest thing, Alex should be the new drummer for these (soilwork)guys. Don’t get me wrong, Bastian is really good, however everything I’ve ever heard this guy (Alex) play is spot on. Killing it as they say.
Flawless. But I love it when Ordinance plays Ordinance. Anyway, can anyone tell me the type of nut/screw Alex uses to secure his cymbals? I'd really appreciate it.
Im sure Hernan Hermida of All Shall Perish would take that as a compliment. Bjorn Strid is a legend and has been around a long time. I quite enjoy both vocalists.
Damn bro. That's tight. Love your work on the TS-album, and this just reinforces how good a drummer you are. I wouldn't call you a straight up "prodigy", but you are still very good. :)
@BurnThePope0514 Best to keep the idea of using a marching stick on a kit to yourself. People love to lecture about that. They're not for everyone. They're the heaviest marching stick and it takes a lot training/hand strength to use them. It seems like some people are buying them because it's sort of 'trendy' in the drum community. Just be careful and don't hurt yourself! I'm thinking about switching to a lighter stick again, but I'm a little torn. We'll see how these other pairs record!
@mdterps1042 I've been using the Magnums for about 4 or 5 months now, simply for want of a heavier stick. Sometimes I also consider going back to lighter sticks, both for price and for the sake of my heads and cymbals, but honestly don't like the feel. Did you just go buy a few pairs of good 'ol Mangini Sigs (great, but extremely inconsistent), or did you try even lighter pairs?
You used to have a drum vid of you doing a track featuring bjorn speed, but it wasn't soilwork. Its been a number of years ago, and I can't remember the track.
yo alex, try using Evans EC2 Clears for your floor toms and keep the G2 clears on the tom tom's. I'm rocking that config right now and fucking love it. Much better than G2's on the floor toms. also try out the evans Onyx for the snare. Once you go black, you'll never go back.
Can someone help me keep track of all the bands Alex has played with? Holy shit there are so many: Threat Signal Ordinance Good Tiger The HAARP Machine The Faceless Revocation Obscura Monuments Did I get them all?
@LeadersasAnimals dude right about what.? My first comment was a question about a cover or not a Soilwork cover, at that time i haven´t read the description, but still i could hear that it wasn´t the original, and so i said that i was right about that nothing else=) ANd the you said Description like read the d. and so far that´s the only thing you are right about;) so there you go=) but fuck it! we are alll rightttttt!
@mdterps1042 Makes since, I recently got these, and the guys at guitar center felt like lecturing me on how they wear through heads faster lol, and after getting them I think they should worn people about the muscle cramps, and blisters they will get. I don't know about you, but these bastards really laid into my index fingers.
Amazing work from all of you (Alex, Greg and Mike)!!!
Cheers,
Peter Wildoer
Rewatching the oldies
I am too!

greetings from sweden!
It doesn't even make sense how good you are. Phenomenal drumming, man. Goddamn.
perfect choice ! amazing cover
Great work! As usual.
this is sick man, you and the other guys that contributed to this are incredibly talented
Simply Sensational!!
His videos are very well filmed, and you perform very accurate!!
Congratulations from Brazil!!
amazing as always Alex :D
The Master plays....The Master!
A true perfectionist.
Bloody well done sir
perfect drumming and the word perfect is defined by you ... definitely :)
btw the new threat signal cd is mind-blowing, I listen to the album nearly 24/7!
love your work!
Craziest thing, Alex should be the new drummer for these (soilwork)guys. Don’t get me wrong, Bastian is really good, however everything I’ve ever heard this guy (Alex) play is spot on. Killing it as they say.
love your fills dude!
flawless cover man
Great playing as usual, man. Thanks for coming to Canada too! We like visitors :D
Sounds awesome man. This is my favorite soilwork song.
Flawless. But I love it when Ordinance plays Ordinance. Anyway, can anyone tell me the type of nut/screw Alex uses to secure his cymbals? I'd really appreciate it.
Awesome cover !
Your accuracy and control are incredible ! You can do anything you want :)
Omg it's been years since I've head this song 2018
YYYYESSSSS I LOVE SOILWORK
I wish I could play like this 10 years ago
i'm 19, and ive been playing drums for 5 years and i'm nowhere near your level. keep it up man.
sick bro.... just sick!
i played with you guys at Tequila Rocks in W.V. three or four years ago.
pretty much the funnest song i can play on drums
Hoooly shit! That was intense!!
Amazed, awesome cover! Digg your setup btw :D
excellent
Nice bro!!
Im sure Hernan Hermida of All Shall Perish would take that as a compliment. Bjorn Strid is a legend and has been around a long time. I quite enjoy both vocalists.
I would love to hear this in HQ... Mike is incredible :D
Damn bro. That's tight.
Love your work on the TS-album, and this just reinforces how good a drummer you are. I wouldn't call you a straight up "prodigy", but you are still very good. :)
@BurnThePope0514
Haha, yeah to some extent. It's worse live - more adrenaline causes heavier hitting I guess.
yeaaah soilwork !!
I love the symmetry of your kit. very much like Mangini's kit or Orbin's kit.
You rule man
YEEEEEEEES SOILWORK!!!!!!! probably not the hardest song you've played but dammit i love me some soilwork
absolutely amazing. Is there any way to get just a drum recording of you on this, I want to play along with my guitar :)
@Eleutherarch for reaaaaaallll!
like a robot, spot on, nice!
Might I request Late for the Kill, Early for the Slaughter?
Awesome! Do one of there faster songs too! Like pittsburg syndrome!! Cheers!
why get ready for class when I could watch Alex?
the fills between 3:38 - 3:47 are amazing

You should play Spectrum of Eternity!!! And who is doing the vocals???
+AgentJonathan Is that Semesky?
NO WAY. Awesome cover choice, my friend. Kill it.
You used to have a drum vid of you doing a track featuring bjorn speed, but it wasn't soilwork. Its been a number of years ago, and I can't remember the track.
somehow at 0.47, when you catch the cymbal, its so smooth its impressive on its own
Great job man! Your covers are really appreciated. Do you take requests? -What about a SYL cover? -Or I'd love to see a Sikth cover :)
SOILWORK!!!!
I came. Also, this guys voice sounds a bit better for this song that Bjorn's does...is that wrong?
could you do a Sybreed cover of the track ----I am ultra violence?
@Alex Rüdinger are you a Mike Mangini fan by any chance? :P
@shockwavenl1 Heck yes.
@blrsycth
Yep, he's super talented man!
hmmmm is this the original soilwork song you are playing to??? it sounds alittle different! very much alike though:) or is it just me?
yo alex, try using Evans EC2 Clears for your floor toms and keep the G2 clears on the tom tom's. I'm rocking that config right now and fucking love it. Much better than G2's on the floor toms.
also try out the evans Onyx for the snare. Once you go black, you'll never go back.
Wow man. You're a fucking monster! Congratulations man!
TH-cam should start listing account names of people who "like" and "dislike" vids.
Not to be the annoying person that asks about gear, but what sticks are you using? They like like VF MS4 . . .
tell me which one you prefer, Evans or Remo?
Can someone help me keep track of all the bands Alex has played with? Holy shit there are so many:
Threat Signal
Ordinance
Good Tiger
The HAARP Machine
The Faceless
Revocation
Obscura
Monuments
Did I get them all?
Conquering Dystopia
Cognizance
Born of Osiris
Carnifex
Lamb of God
@LeadersasAnimals It sounds like he is playing to a cover of Soilwork,not the original song from soilwork;) and im right about that=)
So do the MS4's massacre heads?
oh and i fucking love threat signals new album haha
wow i just realized your 19, what a prodigy
how did the vocalist record his vocals? It sounds unreal!
He's fuckin my age and playing my ALL-TIME favourite song... I need to start practicing more... XD
That... was Fuckin Bad Ass.
Where can I download the MP3?
Alex was well on his way on becoming a monster
@LeadersasAnimals dude right about what.? My first comment was a question about a cover or not a Soilwork cover, at that time i haven´t read the description, but still i could hear that it wasn´t the original, and so i said that i was right about that nothing else=)
ANd the you said Description like read the d. and so far that´s the only thing you are right about;) so there you go=) but fuck it! we are alll rightttttt!
Hey Alex, next time you do covers, consider Deconstruction by Devin Townsend Project. I'd like to see if you could do it.
@ThexteraDrummer Dont forget Alex Grind Pelletier, ex-drummer of Despised Icon :D
Dudes the same age as I am, and holy fuck is he a helluva a drummer. \m/
I would love to see "late for the kill, Early for the slaughter"
I'm sure Mr Verbeuren would be proud.
OK 🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤤
Oh totally, Travis made Mangini's two books almost like his drumming bibles. They are fantastic resources.
@mdterps1042 Makes since, I recently got these, and the guys at guitar center felt like lecturing me on how they wear through heads faster lol, and after getting them I think they should worn people about the muscle cramps, and blisters they will get. I don't know about you, but these bastards really laid into my index fingers.
wow, old song, lol
never played like that tho...
sick sick
soilwork is fucking beast. been my favourite band since i started listening to them back in 04
that was quite a cool comment, if I may say so myself.
Open handed,cool!
