This guy is one of those drummers that totally fucks up the game. He's doing shit that I've really never see anyone else pull off consistantly and with such ease. Well. Fucking. Done. Sir.
I can't even begin to fathom the amount of effort it took on your part to master all the details, structures and technical challenges that make up this track and all the others of the album. Being a reasonable experienced guitarist, I know how much can go into practicing complex music, but drummers of your caliber; man, do I have great respect for you!
I usually try to enjoy your videos, not spend the whole time trying to understand wtf is going on that was by far your best video you just left everyone in the ashes of lesser men. Great technicality, on your way to being one of the greatest.
Damn man. You're an inspiration to not just take the easy route when writing drum parts. Even if the guitars are just ringing out, you always come up with some cool drum fill/groove. Keep up the good work and creativity!
Mr. Rudinger, you are ruining it for the rest of us. You and other drummers in your league have raised the bar too high (Yes I am joking, this is a good thing). Honestly, it is hard working people like you that push music forward and the world is a better place because of it. Thank you on behalf of the metal community.
You should do a Nile cover. I'm sure it'd be a Damn walk in the park for you . Btw your work in conquering dystopia is some of the best drumming I've heard from anyone ever
Your skills are amazing. Conquering Dystopia is a huge metal album! Keep it up with the videos. I'll be watching and I can't wait for your next project.
i feel the pain in your arms dude (you must have a awesome technic for blasting with booth hands)........ heavy *.* best drummer i´ve ever seen....and i´m startet to search 8-9 years ago.
You always nail your play-throughs but I personally enjoyed this a bit more than normal. Sounds really well balanced, groovy at times and you are having fun playing it. Great job.
I didn't think there could be a better demonstration of amazing progressive metal drumming than your Xenochrist video. Simply the best at what you do. Absolutely. Incredible. Go Alex!
+Death Metal (Dismember) Their only album was originally a project between the two guitarists Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow and was financed through Kickstarter ;D I was one of the backers and the result turned out to be extraordinary!
The drumwork is flawless as always. For this track alone Alex wrote more and more interesting fills and arrangements than you'd find on whole albums of some contemporary metal bands :P
This is pretty killer. First time hearing this band. I'm kinda glad it's instrumental. The drumming is unique with it's seemingly random fills. Good job, this is a tough one to cover.
Great Drumming Alex... This is my Fave too in your band conquering dystopia. actually I'm learning Jeff's part right now. Hehehe... your triplets are incredible footwork awesome. I'm a guitar player but I admire this kind of drumming. \m/ I hope I can nail this song of yours. Jeff's part is hard.... Hahahaha but I'm enjoying it.
The mix actually sounds a lot better than the over-saturated one on the album. It's the main reason why I don't really listen to it : it's compressed to shit, and hurts my ears. Great job Alex, you never dissapoint.
I love how you record some of these videos as if we’re supposed to retain ANY if the quick camera shifts or fast movements in between some of the parts. It honestly makes it hard to learn some of the songs you post.
His double-bass / kicks are so clean. He does not need to swivel (maybe just a TINY bit), which I find pretty impressive and he can keep the balance on/@ his calves alone without rotating or shuffling. I rarely find metal drummers who can keep the balance using just their calves staying that perpendicular to the floor, kicking at that speed. That's learned technique, and again I don't know too many drummers who can do this without depending on their entire leg (swivel) to generate kicks @ over 240 bpm. Good on you Alex, it IS possible!
If you look at his kit, he has two sets of high hats so he doesn't have to cross sticks and he alternates with left and right hand. It's a great fill indeed.
Wow! that's so greatly done. Do you have a solo drum track for this song? I'm planning to do a guitar cover but i'm having a hard time in finding the drum tracks.
Quick question, in terms of your double bass chops, how long did it take you to get your head around using the floating foot technique? And also is applying snare drum studies (eg - accent studies, rudimentary solos etc) useful for developing proficiency with the pedals? Very nice work, and inspirational as always!

This guy spreads pure badassery on his toast in the mornings.
@everyone Thank you all for the kind words!!! Really appreciate it'; glad you're diggin' the vid!
If you guys tour again, I really hope you hit Minnesota. Appreciate the vids too man.
i guess hes left the faceless.. cant wait to hear new ordinance or something soon!! :)
I think this guy can do everything on drums technically
iking311 the pearls sounded better.
Dude your snare sounds so Fucking good this video.
This guy is one of those drummers that totally fucks up the game. He's doing shit that I've really never see anyone else pull off consistantly and with such ease. Well. Fucking. Done. Sir.
Mannn how is this 5 years ago? Gotta love it still
I've watched this at least ten times already! Awesome!
I started learning drums in 1987. Alex is 1 of the most talented drummers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to! Keep rising Alex!! Thanks!
Hes so good
The way you stay busy by playing fills that compliment the song perfectly, all while being a human robot is mind blowing.
I can't even begin to fathom the amount of effort it took on your part to master all the details, structures and technical challenges that make up this track and all the others of the album. Being a reasonable experienced guitarist, I know how much can go into practicing complex music, but drummers of your caliber; man, do I have great respect for you!
Conquering Dystopia is the sickest band playing this style of music, right now, as far as I'm concerned. Great work!
I usually try to enjoy your videos, not spend the whole time trying to understand wtf is going on that was by far your best video you just left everyone in the ashes of lesser men. Great technicality, on your way to being one of the greatest.

I second that!
other drummers in his league? who are you talking about? because i honestly can't think of anyone!
@@diphje I know it's 1 year ago but Matt Garstka is also in the same league. Different play styles but they both are topping the world rn imo
Hell ya man! Great stuff as always
Never ceases to amaze me how amazing you are Sir!
I cried both in amazement and in hopelessness while watching this. This is so incredibly good in every way!
I don't even drum and this dude's my hero.
I love how clean sounding his style this and the fills he throws throughout every single damn second of the song.
You should do a Nile cover. I'm sure it'd be a Damn walk in the park for you .
Btw your work in conquering dystopia is some of the best drumming I've heard from anyone ever
Your skills are amazing. Conquering Dystopia is a huge metal album! Keep it up with the videos. I'll be watching and I can't wait for your next project.
Yes! more Conquering Dystopia vids!! :D :D freaking awesome
thank you sir. looking forward to whatever projects you have upcoming
And the stalls are next level!!!
Dude, you are such a fucking beast of a drummer!! Every video is just so good!
One of the best modern drummers period!!
i feel the pain in your arms dude (you must have a awesome technic for blasting with booth hands)........ heavy *.*
best drummer i´ve ever seen....and i´m startet to search 8-9 years ago.
Amazing playing!
The way your kit sounds in this setup is probably one of the best of all your videos imo, and that’s not an easy assessment to make
I still feel this way, all the videos with this kit
You always nail your play-throughs but I personally enjoyed this a bit more than normal. Sounds really well balanced, groovy at times and you are having fun playing it. Great job.
He has inspired me to really get serious with these here skins. Thank you for the Mojo
Amazing! The Greatest!
That is a tremendous amount of focus, damn!
The kick is just savage!!!
i can't say enough good things about how sick you are at drums Alex. It's nuts.
Brutal! very awesome.. \m/
Kit and cymbals sounding extra tasty, dude! I think this is my favorite play-through of yours to date...4.45 onwards blew me away, Killer work man!
so amazing. you can feel the intensity on the album but watching you play it is something else. time for me to practise haha.
Beautiful drum work!
I personally dig the sound of your old kit's mix more, but amazing playing as usual
I agree.
The tone is amazing. Just amazing skill bro.
Amazing player... The best drummer ive seen so far.. For my taste.
This guy is... AMAZING!!! \m/
I didn't think there could be a better demonstration of amazing progressive metal drumming than your Xenochrist video. Simply the best at what you do. Absolutely. Incredible. Go Alex!
Your drumming style is how I want to play drums, but then 10 times more sophisticated. \m/
You really are one of the sickest drummers dude! hope to see you in Pittsburgh again!
YES!!! MAN!!! AWESOMENESS!!!!
never heard of conquering distopia...
...but dude this is perfection!
+Death Metal (Dismember) Their only album was originally a project between the two guitarists Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow and was financed through Kickstarter ;D I was one of the backers and the result turned out to be extraordinary!
SanctumZero haha :D
yeah Jeff loomis and Keith Morrow are a perfectly combination!! :D
Death Metal let's not forget who played the bass, another legend.
@@michaelhill668 SO true.
The drumwork is flawless as always. For this track alone Alex wrote more and more interesting fills and arrangements than you'd find on whole albums of some contemporary metal bands :P
@2:38...sick, mean, brutal \m/
Drummers could learn a thing or two from this mix. The snare sounds godly.
I am a drummer but no where near what you do... but you are truly inspiring!! thank you man!!!
nice TAMA, that is one beautiful drum set.
How do you even come up with these extremely advanced drum patterns!? Alex you are a god!!!
Wow what a banger play-through! I like the snare sound and playing better here than on the record. Again, sick playing dude you fucking rock!
Amazing drumming !!!
Awesome video. Love the audio mix. 😎
SMOKIN' SICK STYLE!!!!
Alex, you are the best!
If I watch this at the gym, my bench press increases by 50 lbs through the power of metal. EPIC!
hey, can you up a individual video regarding your foot- techniques? that would be really helpful
This is pretty killer. First time hearing this band. I'm kinda glad it's instrumental.
The drumming is unique with it's seemingly random fills. Good job, this is a tough one to cover.
WOW.............AMAZING
Everytime I watch it, it ends. Why does it do that? WHY DOES IT DO THAT, ALEX?
I DEMAND AN INFINITE SONG!!!
hilarious :)
So sick!
Amazing Alex greetings from chile!
this must be kept for next generations as UNESCO culture heritage of humanity
Dude your one atomic drummer. Holy caskets that was bad ace
Great Drumming Alex... This is my Fave too in your band conquering dystopia. actually I'm learning Jeff's part right now. Hehehe... your triplets are incredible footwork awesome. I'm a guitar player but I admire this kind of drumming. \m/ I hope I can nail this song of yours. Jeff's part is hard.... Hahahaha but I'm enjoying it.
My unborn child is weeping
Facial expressions are priceless XD
Daaaaaaaaaaaaang!
Awesome!
Bigger rack toms might be worth thinking about Alex. Congratulations on your drumming. Extremely impressive.
Amazing.
It's easier to hear what the guitars are doing in this video than on the album lol
This video is sick!
The mix actually sounds a lot better than the over-saturated one on the album. It's the main reason why I don't really listen to it : it's compressed to shit, and hurts my ears.
Great job Alex, you never dissapoint.

Simplesmente incrível! Fantástico!
HOLY MOLY !
GENIO LA TENES MAS CLARA QUE CUALQUIERA.. SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA UN ADMIRADOR!! YOU ARE THE BEST!
You guys need another album/tour. First one was fuckin amazing.
5:17 that fucking cymbal catch!
1:11 and these two as well!
Fucking amazing man, you (and all Conquering Dystopia member) rule
my fav drummer
Awesome.
Bro, you're him...🔥🔥🔥

Legend.
It's kind of annoying to watch his videos as they are simply so good from playing to sound that I get extremely jealous.
Can someone tell me the sticking for the blast at 4:15.
Amazing video man! I love this album, start to finish
If you look at his kit, he has two sets of high hats so he doesn't have to cross sticks and he alternates with left and right hand. It's a great fill indeed.
Sick cover man!
He's in Conquering Dystopia and wrote these parts himself.
Holy Fck!!! Mind Blown !!!!
Amazing !!! ;-)
Wow! that's so greatly done. Do you have a solo drum track for this song? I'm planning to do a guitar cover but i'm having a hard time in finding the drum tracks.

Sick!
OMG, multiple ear gasms. No homo🔥
Alex!! For you I want to be a drummer now!!!!
Your workrate seems like you are just showing off at this point, yes its an old video but jeez Alex you killed it haha!
Is this a different version of the song in the background?
One of the solos seems altered from the album version
