Alex Rudinger - Whitechapel - "I Will Find You"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Despite the fact that I'm no longer with Whitechapel, I'm still immensely proud of 'KIN'. So awhile back I recorded a few more play-throughs for some of my favorite tunes from the album - while the material was still relatively 'fresh' for me. Here's the second (of 4) - "I Will Find You".
If memory serves me correctly, this is the second song I wrote drums for during the writing process of the album (the first being "Lost Boy", I think). With this one though, Zach sent me a guitar file only - no drums whatsoever - to see what I'd come up with. After sending ideas back & forth for awhile, we definitely ended up changing some of the initial parts that I wrote (to match more of what they initially had in mind on their end), but some of my O.G. parts surely remained. Ex. - the drums in the 'chorus': The kick pattern doesn't really follow any specific guitar, bass, or vocal part. I sorta just felt like the drums needed something there, & for whatever reason, that rhythm / kick part just came naturally & made sense to me for that part (& luckily, they all liked it too!).
That's one thing I really liked about writing with the 'Chapel boyz - how collaborative it was. At the end of the day, the only goal was to write the best songs possible. I'll surely miss that. But as I said in my last W.C. play-through video description: Given the circumstances, I know that moving on was the right thing for me to do. But honestly - it'll still always break my heart a bit. I was a fan of the band before playing with them, & it meant a lot to me to represent & write with them. But regardless of all that, I'll always be immensely proud of this album, so I hope you enjoy this play-through (& the other two that I've yet to post, too!).

I didn't realise how much we need an instrumental version of the album. What amazing song writing.
right??? this song in particular sounds so meticulously crafted. every time i listen i hear something new
I feel like rudi is the best that ever happened to whitechapel
I wish he was a permanent member of the band. :/ was bummed to see he wasn’t on the tour, though the guy they got did a decent job with his parts. Alex’s playing on Kin was great.
Fact lol
Kevin
Lane was best.
Such a bummer they didn't treat him right :/
Watching and listening to you play is like therapy for my mental health, absolute legend.. Thank You
Indeed a legend
I feel the same way. I mean this in a very admiring way, but I often lay down to sleep listening to Rudi and other drums alike and get the best sleep. The madness in this kind of drumming relaxes me.
The will of a beast is nothing compared to the will of a GOOOODDDDD
Why the hell can't WC keep a drummer, let alone Alex? It's mind-boggling and close to unacceptable...
I've been following your work for at least a decade and this is probably the best their drumming has sounded. Looking forward to your next project because it's guaranteed to be a masterpiece.
One of their best songs yet. Much thanks to you... =}
bro that guitar solo in the latter portion of the song blew my mind. this song is BEAUTIFUL
All of these years a lot of new badass drummers but Alex is still my favourite. Fooking 🥁 machine
Can’t really say anything to explain how much I love this.. I will be rewatching countless times into the future.. this is the pinnacle of metal drumming and drumming in general IMO
My favourite track on the album!
Bro, this is just beyond incredible!
We are currently living through the "Rudy Era" of metal and I love it. I do not think that there has ever been such a prolific artist in the music industry, ever. I've been following you since before Ordinance got signed and you only had a handful of videos on your channel. I was actively touring/playing at the time and saw this 16/17 year old kid tearing it up...... and here you are, a decade later playing with/recording with damn near every single major metal band in existence.
Fucking congratulations man. I am happy for you, your drive, and your success ❤️💪
This album. This song. It almost feels like you guys are showing off at this point.
Never seen anything played so powerfully, yet with such crisp precision. Beautifully written parts as well, the whole ebb and flow of the song.
That snare sounds incredible!
One of my favorites off of the album
Oups!.wow! Excellent! High skills! Great sound! Very nice kit! What else?👏👏👏👏👏
I'm beyond inspired as a drummer. I only dream dream DREAM to play like this. I've loved whitechapel since 2007 and I love the new sound still and Alex's amazing drumming
Awesome...God-tier drumming with that sick snare sound...Thank you sir. 🤘🔥
My man you are a machine just heard of you and now your in my top 3 drummers of all time keep it up
Best song on the album for me.
I freaking love this album!!!!
Always a pleasure to see you play. Great. cheers from switzerland.
best album opener of the decade
The dynamics, the precision... After all these years I'm still amazed by how much work you put on playing drums.
What makes you so good is your timing and precise fills that you hit flawlessly, ‘power is nothing without control’
We've found THE perfect snare tone.
Righteous, I dig the dynamics in this heavy to chill back to heavy, and that Bass tone is brutal.
To reach this level of mastery behind the kit. The freedom. Awesome.... well hello there, merch store.
Yeeeeesir, one of my Favourite tracks of the album and you my good sir did not dissapoint. Well done on making some great music on this album Alex 🔥🔥
The precision and the accuracy of every drum note! Truly amazing!
This MUST BE YOUR Song.
You played it so tight you MUST HAVE wrote it.
Amazing. Incredible. WOW!!!
Yes, Hes a studio drummer, Hes done shit for The faceless, white chapel atm and a few others
Thanks, Rudi! Phenomenal performance! I just can't get tired of watching you get tired, lol...
Sick tune, great sounds!
Fantastic drumming as always!

AMAZING 💥🤟
Damn, this must be a fun song to play!
YES!
O cara é brabo.
It's no secret that Alex is a top tier player. An absolute virtuoso of his craft, no doubt. But I'm curious what he does physically to upkeep being able to play this kind of music. I'm asking because, I see him leaning so far forward during certain points, and I'd concern after doing that for years what that would do to his spine. Obviously he plays so many different genres, so maybe the "poor" posture isn't a long term issue for him? His playing is among the greatest we've had, but I'd hate to hear that in 10, 15 years, his spine develops a curve and prevents proper usage of his limbs.
So I was in my head yesterday trying to figure out who the drummer for Sleep Token is. I thought it could be the Rude. Now, here's a new vid up ... Coincidence probably
Killing it like always👊👊
Legendary 🤘🏻🔥❤️
Shame you’re not with Whitechapel anymore but nice to see you with Howard Jones in Light the Torch
beaut beaut
