Alex Rudinger - Mega Drive - "CONVERTER"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 тра 2020
- I've wanted to compose parts & make a play-through to this song for AGES! First had the idea a few years back, just wasn't able to find the time. Lately though, I've been keeping pretty isolated, adhering to the Social Distancing thing, so finally got it done! Lol, I don't know why but, electronic music always inspires me to write over-the-top drum parts 😂.
"Converter" is by #MegaDrive - an electronic artist I've become quite fond of. This song's from an older album, but he has quite an extensive discography - I'll put a link below in case any of you want to peep it! At any rate, I actually reached out to him a couple years back to ask if he could provide me with a drum-less stem to make the video. We've ended up talking quite a lot since then, so I've made a rad friend outta the whole thing too! It always makes me stoked when someone that makes SICK music is also a SICK guy. So shoutout to him - if you like what you hear, definitely check out & support his work!

Mix was done by Adam "Nolly" Getgood. Turned out great (as always!), & I was suuuuuper stoked to have Nolly mix this track specifically. He definitely brought it to life in exactly the way I had imagined it. If you're interested in hiring Nolly for mixing / mastering, please contact him using the address below -

As always, thanks for watching & stay tuned for more!
This is why we learn our doubles, para diddles, and para diddle diddles folks.

Ok thanks for the tip
Thanks for this comment! Hero
Absolutely
hell yes
You can hear at 2:47 based on the power of the strokes this is definitely not the fastest he can play this, and there’s something incredibly rad about 100% in 4th gear rather than 100% in 6th.
Aggressive and powerful sound, but still remains musical and stable.
The way his backbeats hover around their apex don't sound random in the least. That sort of thing is a showcase of control I think, and it elevates feel over displaying the fringes of one's control. A polished comfort zone is classy.
Whenever I watch Alex... it makes me realise how much more I need to practice
I'm more like yikes. I should just quit lol. And I think I'm generally okay at drum
After each time I tune my sound system I always turn to this video. It hits so freaking hard!!! I love it!
I've never seen the "released 10 seconds ago" before xD
😂😂👌🏼👌🏼
I wanna see this man cover anything from Children of Bodom. just to hear the pure crispness of his skills
LOL, I would actually hella do that if I could get a drum-less stem. Follow The Reaper was my JAM. Also (fun side note) - the first U.S. tour I did (back in 2011) was supporting C.O.B. I watched em' almost every night. Shit ruled. LOL!
& thx for the kind words!
THIS MAN CAN COVER ANYthing C.O.B. OR B.A.M.
listen to saw is the law drum playthrough... you cheating you're initial opinion entirely by basing the skill he shows so consistently..
I like that part that's like diga diga doom doom diga diga 🤘😄🤘
Man, we need this track on Spotify!!!
3:57 that freaking fill ! Damn !
I rewound it to see what the fuck was going on.
His arms went Like ➡️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️⬆️↗️↖️↗️⤵️↕️⤴️↩️➡️⬅️
i call that "the around the world" fill
AMAZING! Megadrive is one of my favorite electronic/synth producers, and Alex Rudinger once again hits it out of the park jamming along ... good stuff
Me too, i listen to Megadrive daily, i cant get enough!
Daily megadrive guy here as well. So happy one of my favorite drummers listens to this music
That beat with the fast hats is so fkn tasty
I would pay to mega drive for a mastered version with this drums.
One of the most iconic ive ever seen. ADORABLE
I honestly didn't expect a drummer I enjoy watching more than Alex Brent
it seems your drum machine has grown a body.
Always said drumming is like dancing. Best example of this point.
Best yet!
Rudy doing Megadrive, this is too much awesomeness in one!! 💜💜🤘🤘
My Jesus Christ... breath taking
the more i watch this alex.... you might be a contender as my favorite drummer you and erlandson.. DRIVE ME INSANE!
Awesome.
Now that's where the guy at music store on Wayne's World should pop and say "Wow. You're amazing dude."
Alex: "Thanks.... I like to play." 🤓
Nolly’s drum mixes are so distinct. What a king
Love how he makes this kit sound.
That's Nolly for ya haha
great kit.amazin sound and color
He did more in the first 30 seconds of this video than some of us will be able to do in our entire lives
Speechless......WOW!!! Blew my mother F@#KING mind!!!
Holy crap dude. That was wild
some of these fills.......GADDDDDDAAAAAMMMMM
That ending fill from 4:35 onward was insane! Your videos are straight up drum lessons for me!
the bell brass is back
Each track with Alex on drums is a pure moment of ecstasy !!!
Back again, man this sounds sooooo good!
Man those fills could feed a crew of lumberjacks
I’d friggen love another mega drive cover man 😃
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome...
Can't stop coming back to this one. It's just too damn catchy Rüdi!
This makes my drive go hard
Good job!
Your stick control is amazing 🤩🤩
Just amazing
Your videos made me switch over to Evans. Your such a great drummer my guy!!
oh fucking YA??? This has some nasty bass synth grooves, love the hi hat work as well. Great as usual
OMG DUUUUUDE. I can't believe you just covered one of my favourite darksynth tunes ever. Out of the freaking blue... I love you even more now.
Hahaha, thx homie!!!
Killing it!
Woooooooooow!!!! Destroyer minds
Excellent,like always, my friend
Outstandingly clean stickings!
Just found out that this exists. Lit a fire under my ass to cover this on bass.
We need a whole album
So cool to see this band acknowledged!
I was beginning to feel like the only one that knew them!
That was proper good 😮
One of my favorites. Please continue to put out more of this content!!
Love mega drive. such a dope play through.
Maybe now mega drive will do live shows with this gentleman? I’ve seen dance with the dead, magic sword and gunship but would love to see Mega Drive and Perturbator together. God that would be a killer show!!!
This dude is unbelievable.
amazing my guy, wow
I love mega drive. Never thought I'd hear you play their songs lol
Insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

(& thank you!!!)
Yes! Don't know what's going to happen. But it's Rudy...so in advance:
DUDE!
THAT SOUND
THAT TECHNIQUE
SICK MAN.
I will be proven correct in 5 Minutes.
EDIT: DUDE!
Hahahahaha, ayyyyye - thx D00DE!
That was excellent.
I cannot get over how good that snare sounds.
Imagine Alex covering "I am the program" by Mega Drive
Still some of your best work. I go back to this track often.
Very well done! Player 1 level up 👍
This was fantastic. I would love to see you do a song from The Algorithm.
That was incredible. Maybe your best!
That looked fun. Nice work!
Bro I love this song!!!
those toms are perfectly tuned
F*************cking GREAT!!! 👌 🤘🤘🤘
Alien.
Love the song!
Holy shit man! That was awesome and on fucking point!
Mega Drive is probably one of the last artists I would've expected you to cover! Awesome!
Alex every time I open up a new video of yours whether be it original material or covers or anything in between I know it is going to be extraordinary.
man outgrooves machine
Damn!
Beast!!
Another impressive piece of work, man. That snare is just perfection.
As always, your drumming is a pleasure to listen to.
That Snare sound is KILLER!
Absolutely love it! Electronic music is so much fun to overplay and you do it in the greatest way possible! Cheers!
I really needed this. Good shit as always my dude
Much respect! Good for you for staying safe and protecting others in the process!
Also really appreciate hearing some electronic music. Would love to hear you do some Venetian Snares (e.g., "Dear Poet")!
Hell yes! This is brilliant to watch 👌
So much energy and passion...really cool to watch man...much love
10 people dislike... Clearly not drummers.
This is friken awesome! Those ghost notes and kick placement... and how that stack sounds in the mix. So guuuuuuuuud!
Amazing
Those toms sound so nice
