People can complain about how simple their three guitar "attack" is (I agree) but this is why drums are so important and Rudi always brings the heat. Very excited for the record!
"God, why would they have 3 guitars" said the guy who later said "Hey man, did you queue up the backing track with the guitar intro and leads on the laptop?"
I never understood that sort of elitism, for lack of better word. It’s not about how complex or simple it is; it’s not whether you have 1 guitarist or 3 (or whether your drummer is using a 3-piece kit or a Neil Peart style monster kit)…it’s about how you use those elements to create a composition, and the quality of the composition. That’s why one of my favorite guitarists is Adam Jones from TOOL. In no way is he a flashy guitarist (though undoubtedly he writes/plays very complex guitar tracks), but dammit that guy kills it in TOOL.
Find myself gravitating back to this a lot lately... it’s addictive watching you play that breakdown the cymbal work is so deep and dark gives me goosebumps man
Never disappointed when this beast sits behind the drumkit. The sound is sick and only superseded by the incredible playing. Really happy for him being a permanent Whitechapel member now ❤️
The first time I heard Rudy's playing was for the Conquering Dystopia album. I thought it was a drum machine. Then I saw him play Prelude To Obliteration. It blew my mind! He is one of the best drummers alive today. Cheers from France! 🍻
I like Whitechapel, but I’ve been a huge loyal fan of Alex Rüdinger since he was a middle school kid with long hair. With that being said (not hating on Whitechapel’s music) this play through doesn’t scratch what this guy can do. Go to his channel and you’ll be amazed of how profesional, precise and good he is. I consider him top 3 metal drummers out there. Underrated for his talent.
Yeah the album he made with Intronaut was honestly way better than his Whitechapel stuff. And the whitechapel stuff isnt bad either so thats saying something
Any Whitechapel fan who plays or merely appreciates drumming is already subscribed to Alex’s channel. Whilst this track isn’t as technical as some of his playthroughs (especially the works he wrote personally) it still showcases his otherworldly ability. Definitely one of the best but “top 3” is a huge call.
Gotta always love music and the people who make it I swear that's one of the biggest reasons why I started to play it and just being able to make something on your own and call it yours just is the best feeling ever especially if it gives people the chills 😊
Alex is seriously one of my favorite metal drummers. He is so clean with everything he does 🖤🤘So stoked he's part of Whitechapel now and I'm ready to hear the rest of the new album 🤘🤘
It’s the breakdown it keeps gravitating me back to this video at least 2 or 3 times every week, your addictive to watch your style is mesmerising to watch bro, fucking epic.👌🤟
Years ago (I believe Kevin Lane was drumming when I read this) someone said "Whitechapel has never had a bad drummer. The quote still rings true today.
Imagine these guys going back in time? Like the 1960s. They go on after The Rolling Stones. “Please welcome, White Chapel!” 😆 BYW, Why would anyone thumbs down this? Oh right, jealousy is a powerful human emotion.
These grooves are ferocious and amazing. I love it all but the symbol work really stands out. Bravo, brother. To me the sounds like a metal drumming masterpiece
I've honestly never heard this song before, but I am a drummer and this guy is KILLING IT !!!!! the things he's doing are pretty damn difficult to do. The cymble work is fantastic, the fills, the tom work.... All is great. Nice job Brother, nice job 🤘🤘
Alex is a god! Man, what is it about the name it just makes you a drum god? You got Rüdi, Alex Bent from Trivium, Alex Lopez from Suicide Silence, etc.
I'll never forget seeing Whitechapel in a a festival and not knowing Alex was their drummer at the time. I was just sitting there like.. " Who is this guy? This is the best drummer at this whole damn festival. " I believe it was Carolina Rebellion, which was a massive hard rock and metal festival. As I watched and listened more I figured out it was him just by his playing, because I couldn't see more than a silhouette of him. When people can hear you and know it is you just from your style and sound.. that's an amazing thing. Especially for a drummer.
I know this gets thrown around a lot, but Alex Rudinger is the best drummer in the scene currently, just go watch all his covers and compositions. He can create, read music, compose, cover. His time in Good Tiger and session work is just amazing.
There is no "best" in drumming. It's not a competition, nobody wins or loses and the only people that judge or rank drummers probably don't know any better.
@@the6ig6adwolf Buddy, this band was #10 on the Billboard music charts. They're one of the biggest bands in the genre. For me to say he's the best drummer in this genre and hired drummer scene I think is fair? Unsure where your issue comes from.
First time seeing Alex running a bell brass. Wish it wasn't so choked out like it is. It's an absolutely beautiful snare in its natural state. I remember when they first came out with a price tag of around $3,500 but has come down a lot since then.

Love the orange cymbal felts.
YES! Get that man over 100k subs! he's so damn close
Legit one of the best metal drummers around 🤘
Just check Oki fadlan(jasad band. Song : siliwangi) drumming performance.. 👍
Lmao ! I thought this was Alex's channel . I am old what can I say =)
That cymbal work was nuts!!! Rudi is the man!
People can complain about how simple their three guitar "attack" is (I agree) but this is why drums are so important and Rudi always brings the heat. Very excited for the record!
Those who are complaining can't even play guitar lol
Man I think they played well together like a 3 headed dog named Cerberus

Now this is how to crush a metal song and not overplay. Very well composed, powerful parts. So good.
Dude I feel like I've watched Whitechapel go through four or five drummers now, you guys never cease to impress very good playthrough.
Never disappointed when this beast sits behind the drumkit. The sound is sick and only superseded by the incredible playing. Really happy for him being a permanent Whitechapel member now ❤️
Agreed

@@DarthWinterMadness oh man I agree that song is so badass... I hope he continues to do side projects like that... I'm sure he will
Kit sounds amazing, some really well written parts too that perfectly compliment the piece
The kicks have that perfect thud and attack. Cuts through steel
I'm digging these playthrough of the new album
ME TOO!!!!!

They are just paying the bills
We already know him. And I think this is good work too..
agreed, he's truly one of the very best

It blows my kind some times, how a group of dudes create these amazing arrangements of sound for people to take in.
After so many years following Rudinger, happy to see him with Whitechapel. 👍👍👍👍
I’m dying to hear the rest of this album!!!!!!!
This drum audio is incredible, and the cymbal work is pure genius
Could watch him all day,strangely relaxing aswell probably cos he just makes it look so easy !
As amazing as his playing is, i cant get over how fucking awesome the orange details on the kit looks. Am i the only one?
Yeah I think you are the only one.
Nah you’re definitely not the only one, I think it looks pretty rad.
Granted it’s a cool idea but those “details” are just felts dude.
I've done the same on mine, at least on the cymbals. Attention to detail fits Rudi to a T
Literally didn't notice until I read this, and this is my 3rd time basking
Been Whitechapel fan since day one and will continue to be
Uff. So chunky, this just feels good in the bones. I love heavy handed drummers, great job man. Well done.
Gotta always love music and the people who make it I swear that's one of the biggest reasons why I started to play it and just being able to make something on your own and call it yours just is the best feeling ever especially if it gives people the chills 😊
At first I didn’t realize how intricate the cymbal work was in the chorus. Dope ass playthrough great drummer
Been waiting for this! The drums on this track, is so amazing!
i honestly dont understand how anyone could dislike this, this is mastery at work
That’s one mighty fine looking arrangement there! 👀
U r
I'm really excited for the Bass Plathrough! \m/
How the hell does someone remember all those changes? Fricken amazing!! 🤘🤘
Always appreciated the prominence and complexity of the cymbal work Whitechapel does on the drums
Alex is seriously one of my favorite metal drummers. He is so clean with everything he does 🖤🤘So stoked he's part of Whitechapel now and I'm ready to hear the rest of the new album 🤘🤘
It's unbelievable how good that snare sounds
I fucking love everything about this setup
This is just such an awesome performance! So precise, heavy and overall flawless. He is the GOAT
This made me learn about Whitechappel and buy their album
Greetings from the Dutchlands
It’s the breakdown it keeps gravitating me back to this video at least 2 or 3 times every week, your addictive to watch your style is mesmerising to watch bro, fucking epic.👌🤟
Actually the best metal drummer in the game right now.
Oceans ate alaska... then come back to this comment
It is so boring who is the "best"... It's all a matter of preference. Some like this, some like that.
Music isn't a contest.
@@sinastar5932 Chris Turner is phenomenal, he just does not have the pedigree Rudinger does yet.
I love to see his focus and precision! He's very intentional.
God damn that kit mixed and tuned is amazing sounding. Well done.
Beautiful
Years ago (I believe Kevin Lane was drumming when I read this) someone said "Whitechapel has never had a bad drummer. The quote still rings true today.
Love the energy
So heavy, the power thrown into that ride cymbal throughout the song is so tasty
I don't know where this dude lives but there must be something in the tapwater there, beyond human performance
you should check out his YT, unreal drummer
Unbelievable... Power play. Those cymbals took heart away...🤘🤘🔥
Congrats Rudi 🤟 this album was epic
Groovy fisted drumpart. On of the most epic song of this band and a brilliant playthrought. Such an inspiration !
Sooo freaking good! Top quality soundwise as well. Checking out the other videos right now.
I love the fact you see him scream out "I bring the gift of resurrection" lmfao I do it everytime myself glad to see I'm not the only one lmfao
Oh my fuck..talk about using the entire kit. That was epic mate 🤘🤘
Wait--what?! YES! Rudi is the perfect fit for this band. So excited for their future with him!
Such a great song.
Watching this you have a new appreciation for his sound. Great fit .
That right there, is so much heavier than constant blasting all the goddamn time. Thank you
I’m gonna see these guys in Knoxville very soon. Can’t fucking wait!🤘🏻♠️🤘🏻
Imagine these guys going back in time? Like the 1960s. They go on after The Rolling Stones. “Please welcome, White Chapel!” 😆
BYW, Why would anyone thumbs down this? Oh right, jealousy is a powerful human emotion.
Where would they play? Bloodstock 69?
These grooves are ferocious and amazing. I love it all but the symbol work really stands out. Bravo, brother. To me the sounds like a metal drumming masterpiece
Every note compliments that song. Absolute animal.
100% my favorite drummer right now
So glad to see Alex getting in shape again, you can see how he does enjoy a lot more the playthrough :D
Never listened to any Whitechapel before but after watching this insanity I intend to listen to lots.
man that kit sounds glorious.
AMAZING MIRACLE
Amazing talent.
Love Drum play though and ordered the New cd Kin and wait to hear the rest of it and see you guys on tour here in Detroit Michigan soon
Maryland represented! Right on, Alex!
Holy moly. That was something!
Outstanding!
You are the king !!!
2:33 Alex is singing along!
"I GIVE THE GIFT OF RESURRECTION!"
Great drumming brother! Drum kit sounds great!
Wow, well done, great style, amazing technique and astonishing drums
god I love this drum set ❤
I've honestly never heard this song before, but I am a drummer and this guy is KILLING IT !!!!!
the things he's doing are pretty damn difficult to do.
The cymble work is fantastic, the fills, the tom work.... All is great.
Nice job Brother, nice job 🤘🤘
phenomenal
That was incredible! Very dark and heavy.
Amazing!
Incredible, loved everything about it, esp the cymbal work lol.
This album is going to be amazing.!
Audio engineer appreciation comment :)
Fucking hell that was satisfying to watch, your technical skill and placement is incredible🔥🙏🔥
Awesome drumming!
GREAT SONG!!!! PERFECT DRUMS!!!!
Alex is a god! Man, what is it about the name it just makes you a drum god? You got Rüdi, Alex Bent from Trivium, Alex Lopez from Suicide Silence, etc.
YOU'RE RIGHT!!! My brother's name is Alex and he loves to drum.
Matts are pretty insane too, you got Halpern (Periphery), Garstka (Animals as Leaders), Grenier (August Burns Red)
Alex Pelletier from Despised Icon
@@TheTito995 true
@@EvilSpeculator Alex’s are great drummers and Phil’s are great singers/screamers. Bozeman, Anselmo from Pantera, and Labonte from All That Remains.
F-en Fantastic!!!!
Amazing kit, amazing playthrough!
So fucking amazing I mean honestly love that song and whole album amazing
Been following u for a long time,u r machine,love what u do
Brutal. I love it. 🤘🏻
That was dope go whitechapel
AWESOME!!!

There is no "best" in drumming. It's not a competition, nobody wins or loses and the only people that judge or rank drummers probably don't know any better.
@@the6ig6adwolfIt definitely is a competition, you win gigs and session work by being the best. If you want to make money it's a competition.
@@zerofender so because the dude got a job with a band 99% of people have never heard of then he must the best. Yeah makes alot of sense👍
@@the6ig6adwolf Buddy, this band was #10 on the Billboard music charts. They're one of the biggest bands in the genre. For me to say he's the best drummer in this genre and hired drummer scene I think is fair? Unsure where your issue comes from.
@@zerofender he's the best drummer in Whitechapel I'll give him that.
Holy snare drum. Props to the sound dude.
Absolutely sick!
Congratulations on becoming the official drummer Alex!....lml
Wow! Incredibly good
What a snare sound!!!!🤘😍
Crushing it
Perfect!
GD that kit sounds phenomenal 🤘🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
He is a fantastic drummer

I'm amazed, good job man, the composition is just - this album i will buy for once in 10 years! And I will drown in it :)
