Do you really think so? I mean I think what you're trying to say is that he is in your opinion a really great drummer, and I would agree! However my impression is that Haken is one of the bigger names currently in prog and that they are well known for their musicianship. So unless there is some kind of wide spread obliviousness towards the bands drummer specifically, I would say your statement is categorically false. Anyway, my comment here is definitely nit-picky and quite irrelevant but i see this comment made about a bunch of musicians and would like to know how your internal rating system functions. Oh and in this case you even specified "in prog", while others I think often mean to say something like: "this musician should be famous instead of [ insert famous pop-artist(s) ]". Aaaanyway
@@Hamring Ray is like one of my favorite drummers! Haken is my in my top three favorite bands! It’s insane what they’re able to do. Of course the other two favorites are rush and dream theater!😁
@@the_vinson you're absolutely right. It's not the same as playing a Whitechapel song, for example. The challenge here is like playing a "tongue twister" at an nightmare level, as if DT's "The Dance of Eternity" was just a standard warm-up!
I really can't believe how much Ray's drumming improved on this album (and into Virus as well). I can handle most of the stuff on drums before Vector, but this? Naw.
One of my favorite things about Haken has been seeing Raymond get better and better on every album. Aquarius is like beginner prog rock, and now we have stuff like this from him. It’s been incredible following him on the journey (minus the fact that every new album is harder than the last to follow on drums...)
Yeah his progression (pun intended) is phenomenal. The leap between The Mountain and Affinity is insane. If ya didn't know of him, you'd probably think they had two different drummers over their career.
@@AaronCohn84 i know right. It’s... I’m just lost for words. I almost can’t believe it - I watched it several times to be sure it wasn’t overdubbed. It’s hard to believe this is within anyone’s range of possibilities.
The last 2 minutes of this song gave me chills. I can't believe I had never heard of this band before. You're such a beast man. Thanks for introducing me to this band as well. 😆
Just discovered them from this video too. So far I've listened to The Mountain and Vector and I just checked out some tracks from Virus tonight before coming back to watch Rudi slay this song 🤘 but yeah I'm now a Haken fan for sure.
@@1987lildrummer I'm still listening to Aquarius. I probably listened to it 30 times by now. 😆 When it comes to bands like this, I like to listen to one album for a week or so before I check their newer stuff, otherwise I don't really digest the album and only remember a few tracks. I'll listen to Visions next.
@@michaelberresford4291 Yeah, the main vocals reminded me a bit of Native Construct, but not as theatrical, which I liked. I wish there were more harsh vocals though, like the way Between the Buried and Me does. I'm still listening to Aquarius though, so I can only speak for that album.
@@BoogieWoogieCat There are only a couple songs in their catalogue that have harsh vocals, Streams I'm guessing you've heard thinking there might be more, and Architect from a later album which features the vocalist from Leprous for the harsh section. 99% of it is clean vocals though. I believe Ross is part of another band that does more growls, I'm just not into that vocal style.
Don’t know what to say 🤯 I always knew that rays Drumparts are off the roof and sick, but it gets an entirely different spotlight SEEING it played! Great work, Alex! Loved it as always!
I fucking know right, like listening to the song and you hear a sweet fill and you like "jesus Ray wtf was that?" then you watch and its like, "🤯 oh that's wtf that was, you, are, insane!" Favourite drummer at the moment he just keeps blowing me away, he's not super extreme like tech death (doesn't mean he don't do nuclear blast though ffs I'm so shit) but the complexity is getting close to Portnoy/Manguini levels of bullshitery, as is prog😁. But for me personally, I really like the groove in a lot of his parts, I just really like his style.
My god.. That look of accomplishment at 5:41. Goosebumps during that wide fill section. That must feel so rewarding to play that bit towards the end. It's massive!
It is a great band, I have been fortunate enough to see them a couple of times. Ray Hearne went godly on the drums from The Mountain and forwards. Their newest, Virus, is absolutely insane.
Discovered Threat Signal, and decided to go digging around and found that you JUST covered a legendary song by one of my favorite groups... GOOD SHIT DUDE!!!!
As a big fan of both Rudi and Haken, this makes me incredibly happy! As soon as the song came out, I started wishfully hoping that Rudi would cover it. I never expected it to happen though. Then one day, I saw one of his Instagram stories, and it had Nil By Mouth playing in the background. Fast forward a year or so and here we are - This is gonna be my new go-to drum video for awhile!
Man that drum and cymbal mix is beautiful. Great cover. Also love all the little stories with a breakdown of your gear. I'm a bit of a gear nerd myself.
I am so obssessed with this song, the whole end section has got to be the hardest bunch of licks I've ever had the pleasure to hear, you also inspire too much in me Alex, I wish I'd never fallen out of drumming everyday
I've watched this video like 10 or 12 times already and I get mind-fucking-blown everytime. Can't go wrong with Haken! :D Alex, you made and absolute kill of a cover!! lml 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent! Amazing one hand double and triple surface coordinated patterns. Outstanding and inspiring to say the least. Now let me get back to my RLRR LRLL.
As always phenomenal drumming. The best production. And man....the absolute cleanest drum kit finish on this one! That burnt orange and black hardware is..whooo!
HOLY “CRAP” mate!! This is insane!! Killer playing, sounds awesome! I’m sure that I’m a shity drumma..but this? I quit haha lol ... great vid! (Btw, I’m a long term Haken fan)
Mad respect when Alex Rudinger says your parts are awesome. Ray doesn't seem like as big a name as some others in the drummer world, but i think i have as hard a time trying to follow his stuff as anyone

Ray hearne is one of the most underrated drummers in prog
I agree 100% I agree
Maybe just in general

@@Hamring You do have a good point

Rudy drumming to a Haken track - two of my favorite things have collided!
Lol
Does Rudy make you Randy
Jesus, the last two minutes of this track are incredible
Been pretty good so far; looking forward to those two minutes.
5:10 - 5:41
One of the best drum part of music history. FREAKING AWESOME!!
Totally agree
He looks like an octopus. Alex is an incredible drummer.
Absolutelly amazing .drum part from hell this is... both drummers deserve to be kings of world
My mind is blown. I first saw Alex play-through of Dismantle the Dictator and my mind was blown then, too. Both Alex and Ray are highly underrated! 🤯
This makes me want to practice and at the same time stop playing drums forever
Ditto! :D
Agree mate :)
Legit 🤘🏼😭
I don't think I've ever seen Alex struggle this much. Flawless performance notheless! It tells you how great of a drummer Ray is!
what are you talking about
@@spieglass3211 struggle meaning it's a really challenging song. He killed it. I might not have been clear. English is not my first language.
@@the_vinson You've gotta check out his cover of Intronaut's "The Cull", he'll really blow your mind there
@@the_vinson you're absolutely right. It's not the same as playing a Whitechapel song, for example. The challenge here is like playing a "tongue twister" at an nightmare level, as if DT's "The Dance of Eternity" was just a standard warm-up!
That part at 5:28 was amazing, love how you could tell how happy he was after he got it perfect, wonder how many takes this one took
Finally some Haken love!
Watching Haken playing this song live was craaaazy, one of my best memories
Great cover! Raymond Hearne is criminally underrated.
I really can't believe how much Ray's drumming improved on this album (and into Virus as well). I can handle most of the stuff on drums before Vector, but this? Naw.

Ooooo please do more Haken! I'd love to see you play "Prosthetic", "Carousel" and/or "1985".
Yesss need to see him play Carousel!
When great bands & great drummers collide...
Gotta give it up for Ray Hearne too. Incredible composition.
one of the best drumkit compositions, ever, period
at 1:29 Rudi keeps opening his mouth in an O shape everytime he hits the snare lel. Very cool and funny hahaha. Love this tune and video
My jaw just totally fell off.
And that's still an understatement of how ridiculous this performance is.
@@AaronCohn84 i know right. It’s... I’m just lost for words. I almost can’t believe it - I watched it several times to be sure it wasn’t overdubbed. It’s hard to believe this is within anyone’s range of possibilities.
Same, but just with seeing that Rüdinger is covering some Haken:P
It's always really cool to see ACD pedals, Dennis makes such incredible stuff.
Did anyone check on him recently to make sure he's not still stuck in that fading breakdown beat?
One of my favorite drummers playing one of my favorite Haken songs? Fucking yes please!
The last 2 minutes of this song gave me chills. I can't believe I had never heard of this band before.
You're such a beast man. Thanks for introducing me to this band as well. 😆
I'm sure you already are, but do yourself a favour and go listen. Vocalists soft vocals may put you off, but it just works for me.

Somehow, i have been waiting for this my whole life
th-cam.com/video/ivnkFuIb5wU/w-d-xo.html this have been shared on official Haken Facebook page.
My god.. That look of accomplishment at 5:41. Goosebumps during that wide fill section. That must feel so rewarding to play that bit towards the end. It's massive!
It looks like a little more than accompishment to me😏😂
Probs my new fav vid of yours. DAMN. :O
Just found Haken recently and they're freakin awesome. Amazing playing as always dude.

Woooooow okay the toms are tuned exactly like in the recording. I'm amazed.
Epic. Amazing how Ray came up with all those tracks.
Damn it bro. Extreme composition. Sweet And calculated. Reminded. me to blotted science instantly.
This mans calves are strong as shit
Haken became my new favorite band the same month Rüdi became my new favorite drummer. This is blowing my mind! What a crazy full circle happening!
Man that drum and cymbal mix is beautiful. Great cover. Also love all the little stories with a breakdown of your gear. I'm a bit of a gear nerd myself.
I am so obssessed with this song, the whole end section has got to be the hardest bunch of licks I've ever had the pleasure to hear, you also inspire too much in me Alex, I wish I'd never fallen out of drumming everyday
Oh my fucking god i’ve been waiting so long for this cover!!! This is so good!!! Nil by mouth is one of my favorite Haken songs
this is unreal, you’ve got it down to every exact cymbal and every drum hit, you did amazing on this
Damn.......what the heck was that?😲😁👌👍 Rudi, you're the best!🤘👌👍
the drumming faces throughout this are justified but also priceless
I still can't get this.soung out of my brains. The pauses at the end are so damn sweet. Addictive
Whaaaat theee frick is gooooing ooooon!
Rüdi you are sick, as always.
What a lovely colour/hardware combination this kit has.
Those toms have so much BITE! Love it!
HOW COULD I NOT WANT TO HIT THE DRUMS NOW?????
I've watched this video like 10 or 12 times already and I get mind-fucking-blown everytime.
Can't go wrong with Haken! :D
Alex, you made and absolute kill of a cover!! lml 🔥🔥🔥
This still gives me chill when I watch this
If a drum kit ever had civil rights, this one just had every single one violated.
Crazy track. Middle section is nuts. Great playing.
Different styles, but watching you and watching Danny Carey play from Tool... I am in awe every time! Great job, as always!
Rudy, you friggin nailed it! Obviously the open handed drumming makes it even more visually appealing 🤘
Loving the podcast btw!
that snare brakes my brain so good!
Finally!!! Been waiting since both Ray and yours Instastory.😍😍😍
Having you playing my favorite song...i just couldnt have asked for more...
That was amazing. Never get tired of listening to your playing.
FKING INCREDIBLE TRACK AND PLAYING!!! I’m in loveeeeee 😍😍😍😍😍
Bombastic, complicated & technical superskills 🤘😁 What’s not to love here. Keep up the great stuff Alex! I am huge fan of your work 👏
bro you are a friggin beast times 100. love all your covers
Fantastic. Tama drums, Meinl cymbals, Remo drumheads, ALEX RUDINGER. The best combination. Great video as always.
Thx doode. They are Evans*** Drumheads, tho (just for the record!).
@@mdterps1042 i'm sorry. EVANS off course.
Them ACD pedals though...
Amazing playing Rudi!

I'm fucking
you are one of the best! as always, a great pleasure to listen and watch! best regards
WOW dude!!! And you got the praise from Ray!!!! AMAZING JOB
5:42 that face, thats a drumgasm for sure!
Does nobody notice his new set. Its crazy. Ur tuning is incredible btw. Maybe you can teach us how in a vid?
We don’t notice because it’s not a new set lol
@@drummermikerocks1 huh, when did he got this set? In previous videos he uses another kit
@@danielblomhert5536 he has multiple kits haha. First vid I saw with this kit was like end of 2018 I think.
@@drummermikerocks1 ooooohhhhhhhhhhh
WOW! Super impressive job covering one of the more impressive drum parts I can think of! Well done, sir! :-)
Thanks Alex!!!
I've never heard Haken before, NEW FAN!
I love that your playing necrophagist 🤘great job bro

Brutal! Incredible! MORE!
Nailed it to the floor. Your best performance yet! Keep up the hard work.

Amazing. He just keeps getting better and better. That looks so damn fun to play
Stank-face-0-meter through the roof. God daym! This made my day. Actually thought it was over at the 4.18 mark. Jeeeez.. :D
This is fucking incredible. You somehow manage to keep pushing the boundaries and keep inspiring me.
Please don't stop doing these.
That was great !! Ray would be proud ! 🙌
Holy fuck! That's some killer precision right there.... damn.
Saw them play this live twice in 2019, absolutely flawlessly. U gotta love it.
Mindblowing! Complexity godmode.
I cant believe that you became my dream true; you just playing Haken. Just love and lot of hype I feel right now.
Cheers Alex, keep cool.
Such a banger. The track as well, of course!
You have done ALOT of amazing stuff. But this knock`s it out of the park. Simply amazing🙏
Love Haken, and love this song. This cover made me smile. Terrific job; not an easy song. Awesome - super clean as always, Alex 🤙
Dripping sweat right when the video starts.
This man puts in WORK
This got me SO pumped! One of the best out there❤️
I love this song so much. glad you covered it. can't wait to eventually learn this
Absolutely superb sir! Ray would be proud. The dedication it takes to get that track down, amazing. Subscribed.
Thank ya kindly, brotha!!! Ray's parts rule --- was a fun (& challenging!) song to do!
This is a solid run through of this song man well played once again..🤟👌
