Alex Rudinger - Whitechapel - "Father Of Lies"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2019
- Haven't had a chance to record any new drum videos since returning home from tour, but thankfully I have a handful finished from awhile ago! Here's "Father Of Lies" from one of Whitechapel's earlier albums, 'This Is Exile'.
You may notice that the tempo is a bit different from the album version. 'This Is Exile' actually wasn't recorded to a click track, so Zach made a custom tempo mapping to match it for playing live. In the process, he changed a few tempos (mainly slowing some parts down a bit) in ways that he / the band thought would help them translate better in the live environment (& I very much agree!). I then took the album guitar stem he'd sent me & used Elastic-Audio to stretch it down to the new tempo. I personally prefer the song at this tempo from a listeners-perspective, & am also very glad I don't have to play it any FASTER than this live (LOL).
Mixing was done by Anup Sastry. As per usual, he did a REAL SICK job! If you're in need of any mixing/mastering/general audio engineering work, please contact Anup using the address below!

As always, thanks for watching & stay tuned for more!
I remember when Rudi helped me pass my senior project by emailing me a transcript of “Do Not Go Gently” by animals as leaders. Super cool dude and one hell of a drummer. 🔥
Even though I've heard this song many times, it just occurred to me on just how heavy this song is without vocals.
3:16 slapped me across the face
Never get tired of how clean Alex's playing is...
This is my favorite Whitechapel song, thanks for the cover. So sick!
Me too
same, 2nd cover in youtube for this song. 1st one was from ben, but had really bad quality video lol
@@ianmarkabellana5832 I know, I remember it's from before he was even in Whitechapel, I remember seeing it like 8 years ago or something like that.
Bro, same
THAT SNAAAAREE SOUND!!!!! And of course your playing - Stunning and perfect as always!
Holy shit yes.
Almost Gavin Harrison´s snare
I was completely amazed by it too until I saw the trigger lol
Still a crazy performance, this guy is gifted
Everything makes sense now. This Is Exile wasn’t recorded to a click track. What a great, raw album
Yup.
That snare is as snappy as a vilasic pickle
I don’t even feel worthy enough to watch this masterpiece again.
YES! This is straight up everything🔥
The cleanliness of your technique and strokes is exemplary.
That face you make when you even amaze yourself.
I remember finding your Section 8 cover years ago. The fact that you're playing with them now is so rad. Congrats and keep being awesome
Dude your double bass is so insanely clean, everything about your playing is clean as fuck, i definitely aspire to reach your level someday 🤘🤘
That's arguably one of the best songs Whitechapel ever did, and one of my favorites too!
And now i need to re-spin This Is Exile front to back! Love your covers Alex!
I've been following your work since 2009 dude, I even talked to you once on Facebook, to say this exact same words. Is impeccable, spot on and extremely well played every drum fill you do. Big inspiration and influence bro, keep killing it as always.
I LOVE the sound of that bell on your ride. LOVE IT!!!
When the drumming and mixing is so good that every song he covers sounds better than the originals, you know you're a cloud 9 musician
VICIOUS DISPLAY OF POWER!
God the rewatch value is so good. Not just on this video but so many more. You are such an awesome musician to watch. Hope to meet you one day, and steal some of your knowledge on the kit. Have a good one Alex, hope this finds you well. Keep doing your thing 👌 💯
Such clarity and power
I absolutely love this - one of the legends!
Sick playing, as usual. And great song choice. Would kill to see a cover of anything from Archspire
Oh my God I've been waiting for you to cover this for SO long. Yesss

And this is why you got to tour with them. Cant wait for more vids from you alex.
That snare tone man.... wow. Just beautiful. The all around mix is perfect as well man!
Been following your channel since the old Fleshwrought days and I just wanted to say how great it is that you're still jamming along to heavy ass metal songs nearly 10 years later. Back then those videos were a huge inspiration for me and watching you grow as a player and an artist has been amazing so I just wanted to thank you for all the great content you've made over the years, peace :D
I’ve been waiting so long for someone to do this cover. Could not have asked for better
This was one of the first metal albums I ever bought for myself and haven't heard in forever, awesome job. Now back to my Whitechapel CDs
