You can hear at 2:47 based on the power of the strokes this is definitely not the fastest he can play this, and there’s something incredibly rad about 100% in 4th gear rather than 100% in 6th. Aggressive and powerful sound, but still remains musical and stable.
The way his backbeats hover around their apex don't sound random in the least. That sort of thing is a showcase of control I think, and it elevates feel over displaying the fringes of one's control. A polished comfort zone is classy.
LOL, I would actually hella do that if I could get a drum-less stem. Follow The Reaper was my JAM. Also (fun side note) - the first U.S. tour I did (back in 2011) was supporting C.O.B. I watched em' almost every night. Shit ruled. LOL! & thx for the kind words!
Yes! Don't know what's going to happen. But it's Rudy...so in advance: DUDE! THAT SOUND THAT TECHNIQUE SICK MAN. I will be proven correct in 5 Minutes. EDIT: DUDE!
10 people dislike... Clearly not drummers. This is friken awesome! Those ghost notes and kick placement... and how that stack sounds in the mix. So guuuuuuuuud!
Alex every time I open up a new video of yours whether be it original material or covers or anything in between I know it is going to be extraordinary.
Maybe now mega drive will do live shows with this gentleman? I’ve seen dance with the dead, magic sword and gunship but would love to see Mega Drive and Perturbator together. God that would be a killer show!!!
Wow, thank you Alex! This is truly beautiful. And I very like your toms cutting through...so nice man. ..have to watch it again witch headphones on, now! Greetings from Germany.
Much respect! Good for you for staying safe and protecting others in the process! Also really appreciate hearing some electronic music. Would love to hear you do some Venetian Snares (e.g., "Dear Poet")!
I've noticed a drop in views on your 2 latest videos and i ll just say dont be discouraged by that.. i would say its due to the fact most of us are waiting on the next playthrough of intronaut lol, BUT that being said, you know youre a beast, we know youre a beast, keep going brother. These are strange times we are in but the massive energy from these videos is just another positive reinforcement needed at this time.. keep being your best you and much love from the east coast
@@jcborges96 You want a top drummer to play simplistic repetitive video game music? Why? Any basic drummer can cover that crap. Rudi can't make trash smell good. He isn't a deity.
Mega drive has been among my favorite artists for years and seeing a cover this intricate and well done takes the song to a whole other level. Imagine if you guys had a collab ep or something. Insanity. Incredible job.
This is why we learn our doubles, para diddles, and para diddle diddles folks.

Ok thanks for the tip
Thanks for this comment! Hero
Absolutely

After each time I tune my sound system I always turn to this video. It hits so freaking hard!!! I love it!

it seems your drum machine has grown a body.
Whenever I watch Alex... it makes me realise how much more I need to practice
I'm more like yikes. I should just quit lol. And I think I'm generally okay at drum
I wanna see this man cover anything from Children of Bodom. just to hear the pure crispness of his skills

THIS MAN CAN COVER ANYthing C.O.B. OR B.A.M.
listen to saw is the law drum playthrough... you cheating you're initial opinion entirely by basing the skill he shows so consistently..
3:57 that freaking fill ! Damn !
I rewound it to see what the fuck was going on.

One of the most iconic ive ever seen. ADORABLE
I honestly didn't expect a drummer I enjoy watching more than Alex Brent
Rudy doing Megadrive, this is too much awesomeness in one!! 💜💜🤘🤘
These aren’t normally the type of videos I watch online to get turned on, but damnnnn. 😍
the more i watch this alex.... you might be a contender as my favorite drummer you and erlandson.. DRIVE ME INSANE!
Always said drumming is like dancing. Best example of this point.
Awesome.
AMAZING! Megadrive is one of my favorite electronic/synth producers, and Alex Rudinger once again hits it out of the park jamming along ... good stuff
Me too, i listen to Megadrive daily, i cant get enough!
Daily megadrive guy here as well. So happy one of my favorite drummers listens to this music
That beat with the fast hats is so fkn tasty
Can't stop coming back to this one. It's just too damn catchy Rüdi!

He is truly amazing what techniques he uses he is a master of time keeping... killer work man keep it coming
I would pay to mega drive for a mastered version with this drums.
Best yet!
Yes! Don't know what's going to happen. But it's Rudy...so in advance:
DUDE!
THAT SOUND

SICK MAN.
I will be proven correct in 5 Minutes.
EDIT: DUDE!
Hahahahaha, ayyyyye - thx D00DE!
Nolly’s drum mixes are so distinct. What a king

One of my favorites. Please continue to put out more of this content!!
My Jesus Christ... breath taking
oh fucking YA??? This has some nasty bass synth grooves, love the hi hat work as well. Great as usual
Now that's where the guy at music store on Wayne's World should pop and say "Wow. You're amazing dude."
Alex: "Thanks.... I like to play." 🤓
Still some of your best work. I go back to this track often.
Still watching in total amazement. This is incredible, dynamics and technique through the ROOF! 🤘
This was fantastic. I would love to see you do a song from The Algorithm.
Thank you my good sir for providing me with yet another "ear chub" 👍😂
Your videos made me switch over to Evans. Your such a great drummer my guy!!
So cool to see this band acknowledged!
I was beginning to feel like the only one that knew them!
That ending fill from 4:35 onward was insane! Your videos are straight up drum lessons for me!
Holy crap dude. That was wild
Alex every time I open up a new video of yours whether be it original material or covers or anything in between I know it is going to be extraordinary.
I really needed this. Good shit as always my dude
Back again, man this sounds sooooo good!
That Snare sound is KILLER!
I love mega drive. Never thought I'd hear you play their songs lol
Something about this made me think of Animals as Leaders gone electronic. Some of the parts felt so Garstka - like. Loved it man!
Love mega drive. such a dope play through.
Love how he makes this kit sound.
That's Nolly for ya haha
great kit.amazin sound and color

Hahaha, thx homie!!!
Damn!! So fucking amazing!! I love it! Cheers from México!!!
Maybe now mega drive will do live shows with this gentleman? I’ve seen dance with the dead, magic sword and gunship but would love to see Mega Drive and Perturbator together. God that would be a killer show!!!
Excellent,like always, my friend
Dude you are freaking JACKED these days. Anywho, fantastic playing as always. You're an inspiration to always keep pushing
Each track with Alex on drums is a pure moment of ecstasy !!!

Outstandingly clean stickings!
I’d friggen love another mega drive cover man 😃
Holy shit bro! I thought your last video was your best! Nice!
Well executed, very satisfying to watch
Just found out that this exists. Lit a fire under my ass to cover this on bass.
Your stick control is amazing 🤩🤩
This performance is fucking amazing, and the mixing is on another level. Love the dynamics in this.

Greetings from Germany.
Another impressive piece of work, man. That snare is just perfection.
Your fills are like hurricanes! You rule, Rudi! 👊
So damn good. 3 words.
Excellent, atrocious and overwhelming.
Yeah that dynamic bronze snare!
That was incredible. Maybe your best!
That looked fun. Nice work!
That was proper good 😮
Mega Drive is probably one of the last artists I would've expected you to cover! Awesome!
Epic performance bro!! You have so much technical skill!! I can't get this beat out of my head now! Love those ghost notes!
He did more in the first 30 seconds of this video than some of us will be able to do in our entire lives
that meinl -pure alloy sounds great.maybe the best cymbals in the world
Man those fills could feed a crew of lumberjacks
Just amazing
Much respect! Good for you for staying safe and protecting others in the process!
Also really appreciate hearing some electronic music. Would love to hear you do some Venetian Snares (e.g., "Dear Poet")!
WOW!! This was awesome!!
This is so great. Put it in my playlist and watched it several times!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome...
Dude no way one of my favorite drummers does a cover of one of my favorite synthwave songs. Big ups man you crushed that shit.
So much energy and passion...really cool to watch man...much love
Wish I could give this a thumbs up for every ghost note played
Very well done! Player 1 level up 👍
This dude is unbelievable.
Alex!!! Maaaan, that kit and mix sound SIIIIIIICK!!! \m/ Awesome playing my dude!

Bro I love this song!!!
Killing it!
It's just outstanding. I think you are now the number one drummer on youtube.
Have you ever thought of covering any tracks from Doom OST?
I was thinking of this the other day. Giving them the Rüdi treatment would be killer
@@jcborges96 You want a top drummer to play simplistic repetitive video game music? Why? Any basic drummer can cover that crap. Rudi can't make trash smell good. He isn't a deity.
@@doublecrossedswine112 I suppose they mean OST by Mick Gordon, and Matt Halpern played those tracks live with Mick, and Matt is top drummer :)
Anup Sastry covered a song from the Doom OST together with his wife. Maybe you want to check that out
@@doublecrossedswine112 Jesus christ the ignorant edge lord has descended.
Delicious to watch 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Those toms sound so nice
