Alex Rudinger - Light The Torch - "More Than Dreaming"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- This is another one of my favorite #LightTheTorch songs to play live! We were actually opening with it on the KSE/ABR tour, too. I like it as an opener - relative to some of the rest of the LTT material, it's actually got a few tricky parts in it. & because of the tempo, it's a good warm-up for my right foot as well. So as an opening song live, it's kinda nice - not TOO hard, but not the easiest... just kinda gets me primed up for the rest of the set! I mean, I always warm-up on pads first too (Lol), & that surely get me loose. But it's always a tad bit different when you start playing on actual drums (as opposed to pads) - you sorta have to warm up a bit MORE to get into that 'comfortable live performance' level, & that's only possible on real drums (it's kinda hard to explain 😂😂. But if you're a drummer, you might have some idea of what I'm talkin' about!). My POINT is: As the opening song in a live performance, this track is a ton of fun. It also happens to be a killer song overall, too! (Howard sure knows how to write a catchy chorus. AMIRITE ya'll ?!)
BIG LOVE to Declan White for the SICK mix! I was actually super pumped with how this one turned out (!) - Declan's been mixing stuff for me for awhile now, but he never fails to impress. I especially like how the snare turned out --- 14x6.5 #Tama SLP Sonic Stainless Steel. I've had this snare for awhile, but haven't used it all too much. Hearing it in this mix... I think I'm gonna have to pull it out more often! 😂👌🏼

Who would’ve thought, my favorite drummer would be making music with my favorite vocalist Howard Jones. So proud of you man! Keep the content coming!
I feel the same way! Lol
That snare is perfection
Truth
First thing I said on that first hit
I was about to comment the exact same thing, but then saw I wasn't the only one. 👊🏻
Never heard this band but immediately knew it was Howard Jones vocals... Well now I'm stoked to check them out.
Alex is an absolute BEAST on the drum kit! I don't even play drums, but I love watching Alex play. He inspires me to want to write and record my own original music. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Always love that cute smile at the end 🤙🏾
Top tier drummer, top tier mixing, keeps me coming back. Pretty much an eargasm every single time
Congrats on 100k subs man, here's to the next 100k 🍻
Killing it man!
That snare sound indeed is sick!
I was shocked when I saw Alex suddenly playing with Light the Torch. Immediate improvement for that band. Pushed them right to the top. Not to mention the quality of the song writing for that band greatly elevated at the same time. Congrats to LTT for bringing in an absolute monster on the kit.
This Tama/meinl setup deserve a GGD tone library.
I LOVE that you still play the downbeat on the leading hand when doing the "and-of-4" crashes. Such a tasty, subtle addition. And it's a testament to the mixing that they don't blur together!
Your the man Alex! Keep them coming. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Just seen LTT in Fargo last Friday, awesome Show BTW,didn't know who the drummer was,but kept watching him thinking this dude's good!
Another great one brother!!!
At 2:48 the drop and then “NO ONE CAN BE INVINCIBLE” hit so fucking hard 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That China sounds great. Nice tasty drumming.
What a great performance and sound!!! cheers!!!!!!
Im just lacking words.. you are amazing and this vid instantly got bookmarked!
You are truly magnificent!
Howard’s vocals are what got me into metal... and then there’s you on the drums?! This is like a dream come true 🤣, you fucking smashed it btw Alex your drumming is flawless, every video I watch of yours I try to find errors you make and there’s NEVER any, your a talented individual my friend.👌🤟
so clear, very good performance
Idk if he's Light the Torches drummer but he needs to be. Dude is a beast. Big inspiration for my play style and kit setup haha
He is their drummer.
He was the studio drummer for their recent record and also their current touring drummer but he is not full-time as of now. Thanks to John Sankey and the mess behind the Devil You Know split, their label now has to approve new drummer (per Howard's interview a couple of years ago). Hence the name change as well.
I like every Rudi video before the song even starts! LEGENDARY SIR!
Love this tune, and this album for that matter. Amazing work dude!
As always: A pleasure to see you drumming! Love it! Rock on
Every hit just accents so gloriously 🤘🤘
Flawless, as always. Great drumsound. Keep up the good work.
So sick
Woah ❤️🔥
Loved the drumming and sound 🔥
Yessir!!
The sound is so much like it 🥰
Good video sounds drummer
That guy playing with the lights did a good job! 👍 And BTW, Rudinger is the best!
One underrated drummer! You’re FREAKING amazing! Love your music
Underrated??
YESSSSS THANKS MATE
Ohh yes, new video!! ;-D
one of my favourite bands man i fucking LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yes 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
The toms sound is sicker than heck
It was awesome live!!!!!
Animal demais!!! 🤘🤘
Sounds killer as usual.. I see the b/b smokey indigo back theres.. im still trying to find a 8 incher fir my baby lol
Fire ass shit dawg
How about Conquering Dystopia one time for the boys?
please do a video on how you mix and master your drums!
OH SHIT YEAH BRUV
I hope in twenty years people remember Alex the way they do John Bonham and other legends.
Pull your Bold Spotted Gum out more often, I ended up buying it because of your comparison vid, and it rocks!
Holy ducking jezus
Jones
I wish I could get my drums to sound like this in my mixes. Especially the toms.
Some of "Despised Icon" pls!
Hey, Dude. Killing it as usual. What in ear monitors are you using in this vid?
Was this done with the stitches?
To celebrate the real, non-April Fool's release of Meshuggah's new studio album, do you mind doing a playthrough of the song "Past Tense"?
Please cover Clip the Apex.. Accept Instruction by Dillinger
Alex, was that floor tom hit at :20 your drums or drums and a trigger of a drop? Haven’t heard your drums sound that heavy before🤘🏼🥁
Hoping no trigger and just more mixing that lets those drums sing 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@alexrudinger, would you ever cover 43% burnt??
Loved this!
What about playing some Dillinger Escape Plan from their earlier days?
That would be interesting! I know he has toured with them in the past playing with the faceless
How much do you love those Darwin pedals?
Play something from Krisium!!
I wonder what of all these covers you've done has been the most challenging. I remember finding your channel watching you cover xenochrist and wonder if you're played anything that's been a legitimate challenge
Yo great cover! We need to do a drum battle! I do my own recording!
Is "Light the Torch" A soilwork reference? the music/vocals sure sounds inspired by soilwork
Does the undisputed king of drumming pronounce his name with a hard or soft G?
Whatever. Can you upload a shitty video once in a while for us who suck at drums? LOL good stuff brother!
Es bueno el cuernos de chivo
Who's here from the xenochrist video
Vocals are painful (for me) but the drums are almighty!
