Hi! If you liked this video and would like to suggest another artist for future videos ⬇ & subscribe.
Alex is one of my top favorite drummers. I don't think he gets enough love and credit!
I totally agree with you Zack. Reality of being great at your craft, doesn't always translate well in recognition
Yes, my brother! Kudos to you for bringing the talent of Alex Rudinger to a new audience! Love your appreciation!
Thank you for kind words! Alex Rudinger is so underrated I feel, he definitely deserves more views... Such a great and talented drummer 💯
Its kinda really not a cover considering Alex Rudinger played for and recorded with Whitechapel.
This song isn't that hard to play, especially in comparison to other Whitechapel songs that require a few more difficult elements.
Just practice bro. You keep saying you can't do it, but you can if you spend the time learning and practicing the song. Some people learn it in minutes, some hours, some weeks, some months, but perseverance and practice is the key.
I think you can do it.
Oh wow! I didn't know he played and recorded for Whitechapel, that's awesome and this is why I love getting comments... You'll be surprised by the amount of knowledge out there.
Looks hard to me but you're right about the song, Alex did an amazing job here which is coming from someone that's not too exposed to metal. Ironically, I have my double bass pedel set up at the moment too.
Also, I think with practice you can learn and play almost anything nowadays, the problem I have is finding the time, especially with other things going on that's why I haven't been pushing out my own covers as much, but yeah you're right. Do you play?
@@dionsheds yes I play, and have been playing extreme metal since the 80s. I started off covering Iron Maiden songs, then gradually worked my way through to bands like Slayer, Sepultura, Death, Cannibal Corpse, and others. As the music got more extreme, so did my drumming.
As for catching the time...even with everything going on, the music for most bands can still be counted in 4/4, though it may not seem that way with many songs. Take Meshuggah for instance. It sounds like odd time signatures, but if you just tap your foot along, you'll find it's still pretty much 4/4. It's all the ghost notes and/or syncopated bass drum kicks with the disjointed guitars, creating a polyrhythm that gives the illusion of the time being different than 4/4.
Pedals also make a difference. I personally use Axis direct drive long boards because I have big feet, and short boards like Tama Iron Cobras don't allow for me to get double strokes using heel-toe technique because my heel is completely off the foot board, which forces me to use a swivel foot technique that isn't as comfortable for me as heel-toe. Some people hit road blocks. Some of it is gear, some of it is lack of practice, but most road blocks can be identified and corrected for.
Alex has a list of drumming experiences with several bands. He played for the Faceless for awhile, and played with Conquering Dystopia, a band that was side project of bassist Alex Webster of Cannibal Corpse. He also played with Intronaut as well as Whitechapel. He's quite accomplished.
Keep drumming my friend. The world needs more music and harmony.
A drummer you may want to check is Evgeny Novikov of Slaughter To Prevail/Katalepsy.
That man is a machine!!!
@@laurenfazenbaker9777 Oh nice! I'll admit my biggest obstacle with playing metal, is not with learning it but playing consistent and rapid double bass singles. I don't know if it's my old (11+) Yamaha pedels or just my lack of double bass skills but I'm not good nor consistent enough in that department.
Thanks for the advice and suggestion, I'll look the artist/band up. Hope you don't mind gaining a sub, would like to see some of your drumming someday +1
@@dionsheds there are a couple videos on RUclips that can teach you double bass drumming techniques....they give you the fundamentals and exercises you can practice on your own with a metronome. Single strokes will cut it on a lot of metal music, but for the more extreme metal with the ridiculous drumming, you're going to have to learn double strokes. There are 2 really good techniques for that...swivel foot and heel-toe.
Look these techniques up, there are countless tutorials for these techniques, it's just a matter of finding the one you are most comfortable with. You might want to upgrade your pedals. The techniques are great for double strokes, though some pedals are not as responsive and up to the task. That's not to say basic pedals can't work, Derek Roddy and Gene Hoglan don't use double stroke techniques, they use single strokes with any pedals and get ridiculous speeds, but that's not something everyone can do
@@dionsheds my channel has no uploads. I did have 2 videos up, one covering the song Nomad by Sepultura, and another covering Evisceration Plague by Cannibal Corpse. Both of them got pulled because RUclips gave me copyright strikes for the uploads, so I set my channel to private and use it for simply watching drumming videos. The uploads showed everything, and everything was played spot on, but the sound quality wasn't the greatest because I wasn't running through a sound board ( my kit wasn't 🎤 up), and the videos were literally filmed by my gf using her cell phone 😂
