Alex Rudinger - NONVECTOR - "Frayed Vessels" (Session Work)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2024
- I'll be uploading quite a bit throughout the next several weeks - I've got a handful of videos on deck, including some fairly different content than what I normally post (building a stave snare!), as well as a bunch of play-throughs.
To start things off I'm posting a couple play-throughs for session material! Last year I did quite a lot of session work, & some of those albums are finally coming out soon. This first play-through is "Frayed Vessels" by NONVECTOR, off their upcoming album 'Ashen Time'.
Nonvector is a prog band; when I first heard the material it gave me some big Intronaut-vibes (in fact, I think that's one of the reasons they reached out / hired me. Lol!). I had a blast doing the drums for this album - make sure to follow Nonvector below for all updates on the release date, & the band in general (!):

Video mix was handled by Declan White (who also mixed & mastered the entire album!)
On to KIT SPECS! Pulled out the SC Maple for a few videos recently!
#TAMA Drums - Starclassic Maple (in Satin Aztec Gold)
10x6.5
12x7
14x12
16x14
22x16
14x7 Cusworth Cast Bronze Snare (w/ matching Cast Bronze hoops)
#MEINL Cymbals (from left to right, if sitting behind the kit)
18" Classics Custom Dual Crash
15" Byzance Traditional Medium Hi-Hats
12" Classics Custom Dual Trash Splash
10" Classics Custom Dual Splash
14"/12" Stack ***
19" Classics Custom Dual Crash
18" Classics Dark Heavy China
21" Byzance Traditional Heavy Ride
*** (The Stack is comprised of a 14" Byzance Traditional China on bottom, & a 12" HCS Trash China on top. I think this mini HCS trash china is only available as part of the "HCS Trash Stack"... which, I believe I had one of, & the other cymbal in it cracked. So this lil' mini china part of it sat around for ages, & then eventually I tried it out with this 14" Byzance china, & it was pretty sick. That's the whole story. Lol).
#EVANS Drumheads
Toms - Clear G2s (batter), Clear G1s (reso)
Snare - Coated Heavyweight Dry (batter), Snare Side 300 (reso)
Kick - Clear EQ4s (batter), Onyx w/ Port (reso)
You may also notice the Pro Mark sticks! I've used Pro Mark before... for awhile, actually - when I left Vic Firth, but before my Tama Signature Stick was in full production. At any rate - sadly, Tama has decided to discontinue ALL artist signature sticks in North America (I believe they are maintaining a few in Japan), & as such, I am in the market for new sticks. I've actually been using a lot of different stuff recently, & am taking my time, trying different stuff out, before I make a decision on where to permanently move to. In this video I used the Pro Mark Forward 2B's (wood tip)!
I also just want to say thanks to Tama for ever giving me a Signature Stick to begin with. I'm sad that they've decided to discontinue all of them, but I also understand. The stick market isn't an easy one. Absolutely nothing else about my relationship with Tama changes - I still endorse their drums & hardware, & am glad to be part of the family! On the plus side, being a free agent for sticks has been kinda fun... I'm in no rush to figure it out, so you'll see me trying out a handful of things in the videos to come!

This guy is not only an amazing musician, he's a highly intelligent man. This isn't stuff for ordinary human beings. Much respect to you, Alex!
Word!
El estepario
Абсолютно верно
That is some funky timing! Great drumming as always!
Great performance!
And still the best Starclassic color!
What gets me is that Alex has so much FN talent, with some insane limb independence and only 112k subscribers. RUclips you gotta do better with the algorithm thing, less bullshit and more Alex play throughs!
Cloudkicker vibes
I was groovin' to the 11/4 outro!
THAT SNARE!!! WOW!
Jesus Rudy, do you ever mess up? Every hit is on point, every ghost note, the execution is crazy to watch.... nice job man
Perfect Song for learning linear algebra
New play through day is always a good day
All of Alex's work is not only inspiring but, can see that he's able to adapt to all kit combos to perform that song almost. Like the perfect paper for the perfect typewriter. Mad props. 🥁🖤🥁🖤👊🤘👊🤘
Very Meshuggah meets Rush vibe, I like it! Excellent work as always Alex!
Textures vibes! Diggin it ❤
Very tight
what the hell this is sick thanks Alex.
Amazing👊🏻 as always👊🏻
For real, that grooved hard
Alex kicks ass, but I, personally, had a hard time finding a groove to groove to. Absolutely no offense to any of the musicians on it. I do commend the ability to play the stuff.
@@RickBondjr Really, you didn't notice the 11/4 groove at the end? The groove is there, seems like you just don't have the ear to identify anything other than 4/4.
@@Lu-ql no oh mighty one ... I'm stuck at 3/4 and 4/4. Nor did I make it to the end ...
I'm always stoked to see a new video from you, man. Your playing speaks for itself, but I love getting to see what gear you are using and the occasional notes on them.
THE best. glad u back
Leave it to Alex to ruin my neck on a Friday night (Pause) cause damn this is some sick djenty proggy stuff. But great work as always Alex! Cant wait for more 🔥🔥
no diddy
This is mot my favorite style of music what so ever, but I watched the whole thing because it’s Rüdi, and he’s inhuman lol
Displaced as fuck and inducing that Parkinsonian tempo that has me headbanging like a baby elephant born 5 minutes ago trying to master the art of walking.
Ngl my brain needed a while to figure that one out.
I have no idea what is hapening timing wise here haha!
Hey Alex, massive fan of yours since forever. Any way you could make a quick video demonstrating how and what your Tom’s are tuned to?
To me, Alex was Estepario before Estepario... I remember the old black kit and Tama Speedcobra days... I could be wrong about the pedals but I'm pretty sure they were sc's...
Isso ficou mt bom!
what in the time signature is going one here! i am confused 😵💫
I was hoping you were going to join The Zenith Passage tour after their drummer had the accident. Didn't get to see you with Whitechaple.
big Nothing vibes
Please cover Make a Move by peeling flesh….bc it groooves lol
Try Vater sticks. I love them to death and they have so many models to choose from!
Alex "atomic clock" Rüdinger, amazing guy, amazing drummer 🔥
There is only one Atomic Clock and that's Gene Hoglan.
Ya, nothing against Alex, but Gene is the atomic clock.
What they said.
Of course Gene Hoglan, but to be fair, Alex is by far the only drummer I would consider playing Gene's parts. (and obviously Dirk Verbeuren) He has that same unique mechanical playing style when it comes to metal, but ALSO the groove and feel!
😄👍
Alex can you share your thoughts on the Starclassic Maple drums versus the Star Maple kit you have?
I’ve read several forums with players preferring the Starclassic Maple over the Star Maple. Siting that the bearing edges are the variable making the Starclassic shells attack and “sound better”.
When trying to decide which route I’d like to go, I’m leaning towards Starclassic Maple, but truly love the finishes in the Star line too.
Thanks dude 🤘🏼🥁
What are those quick release cymbal toppers you’re using here? I’ve seen those around recently. I currently use a few of the Vater ones, I like that these are slightly lower profile though
If I'm remembering right he mentioned finding them on Amazon a while back
Edit: just looked and found one under the brand 'CashBeat' that look identical for $8/e.
I ordered one of those Amazon ones only to find out, after 35+ years of playing ... There are different sized cymbal stand post diameters. Lol
Alex is now using Promark sticks???
0.0
Are those Oriollo hoops on that snare?
🫡 🐐
It sucks that you lost your signature sticks.. Would you ever consider going back to Vic Firth?
How does one reach Alex to ask about session work? I know he stays busy.
He made an instagram post a little bit ago
How do you follow this riff? Lol
sounds like that side project jay postones had
Елки! Алекс, тебе монитор пора сверху вешать! Сам играю на ударных, но вот так с листа читать не умею.
Tell your guitarist to stop rushing. Sounds great Alex ❤
Hi! I played the guitars....if you slow this down to like quarter speed (which I did after tracking to ensure everything was tight), you can hear the guitars are right where they're meant to be. There's a bit of tension between the drums and guitars too, by design (compare the meter, time signature, and then the kicks / guitars)...enjoy!
@@jamesjackson8610 No need to defend yourself against internet-people that won't get it and probably won't take the time and effort to get it. Spend more time creating, it's way more useful! Love this stuff!
@_-TC thanks for the encouragement! Figured I'd post a polite and simple perspective and then ignore any possible future trolling haha. Glad you enjoy the music - we'll put the whole album out within a few weeks. Rudi gets even more over the top on some other songs!
I swear I thought this was Eloy 😂
All I can say is I don't think any White Chapel album can compare to Kin, and I'm a top WC fan but he just did something special
Nice drum part, awesome Alex as always, pretty boring song in general
without the creative drumming, this music would have absolutely no interest at all. Sounds like a backing track that was created for drummers to have fun with.
I find this drumming as impressive as the music boring
