Severin Lutz it’s awesome! Alex is a killer drummer. I hope he becomes a permanent member of Whitechapel. They don’t have a drummer besides him right now
@@mrzink9180 it's like Harclerode spend his time more with travelling and hiking with his wife.Now i never saw any kind of music-related posts on his instagram
The entire drum sound (toms especially) is kinda similar to that of "Anomalies" by Cephalic Carnage. I'm not too much into the snare sound here but have to appreciate the quality.
Titouan Pierce that’s not the actual raw sound of the snare, it’s mastered audio, meaning after recording this, the audio was mixed and mastered to sound cleaner. If you were to listen to the raw takes, it’d sound nothing like this.
nothing more flattering than watching somebody as good as alex take interest in learning my parts, and then nailing that shit completely. ALEX!!!!! No surprises here man. Killin it a usual. Hope to see ya in the near future brother!!
I remember watching this video 8 years ago and realizing that I just found my favorite drummer. NOW you're in Whitechapel. This made me so damn happy. Good for you Rudy, you deserve it.
It was said of Tony Williams, that he had million dollar legs. Alex has trillion dollar legs. Alex, that is incredible. I am in awe of what you do with skins and sticks.
The longer you play an instrument the more attuned you become to what's being played, so you can follow even fast or musically esoteric instrumentation. Sometimes you have to know that something could be there (such as ghost notes or polyrhythms) to realise when it is. Furthermore, Alex transcribes the parts to the songs he plays, giving him plenty of time to make sure what he's got is right and also to practice it bit by bit as he goes.
I was already going to subscribe after seeing just this video, but the "YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS!" at 3:52 sealed the deal. I do that same thing when I play this song.
Stellar performance as always. Your feet are so quick, and they never seem to miss hit either, truly an inspiration to all drummers out there regardless of their music tastes and playing style.
I watch this video so much. Probably the best drum cover on the internet, easily my favourite. Note perfect, would even say this drumming and the sound is better than the original
I'm a guitarist but drums are my favourite instrument, glad to hear someone play them this well. Some of your drums look like they've taken a royal pounding over the years haha
You'll get more girls with the guitar. If you love pussy, stay with the guitar. Even though i love pussy, i'm a drummer. I have found a drum easier to start with. Even though i would love to learn to play the guitar. It's just, let's just say a bit more pain in the ass. But any instrument is hard to master.
Ilias Joels For me it's the other way round, I love playing air drums and understand how to use double kick pedals, but if you stuck a kit in front of me it would sound catastrophic :p guitar comes naturally to me, whereas the beauty in metal for me is that the drum changes the way every part is percieved, just be changing time signatures and altering the aggresion with which you hit the drum. And I do love pussy, but my girlfriend'll chop my nads off if I jump-fuck everyone in the audiance lol :D
shaunpaulcroft For me it's the other way around. I find it hard to focus while trying to practice on the guitar. You'll always sound shit in the beginning but with drumming, you can make a beat while practicing.
This is the best sounding mix of all of your drum playthrough videos or covers. Very natural which I dig. And everything as always is fucking sweet. Although the angle of the footcam could reveal a little bit more. Keep it up Alex, your videos are so great motivation for my drumming.
Your drumming is flawless dude. And I'm not so sure to many people also take into account that miking is also what could make a difference in sound. Good job in that too.
So wholesome that this video is 6 years old and now he's actually on tour with whitechapel
Severin Lutz it’s awesome! Alex is a killer drummer. I hope he becomes a permanent member of Whitechapel. They don’t have a drummer besides him right now
@@ChinchillaDeTucson He left, his passion for the music disappeared so he left
@@mrzink9180 it's like Harclerode spend his time more with travelling and hiking with his wife.Now i never saw any kind of music-related posts on his instagram
What's even more wholesome is that now he is a full member of the band.
@@zozo11221 is he really? I haven't been keeping up with the news
a metal drummers worst nightmare is Alex Rüdinger covering one of their songs.... you sir are a living legend and one of my biggest inspirations.
Best sounding drumkit I've ever heard! Hands down!
Possibly the greatest snare sound ever recorded.
+Titouan Pierce agreed. first thing i thought.
take a look at some videos from Anup Sastry, they sound even better
Listen to his newer snare sounds with the Tama Bell-Brass Reissue, it sounds fucking godly!

I can't tell you how many times I've watch this video.
I could never get this tight...
This is one of my favorite drum parts ever written, I'd like it twice if I could
Shit!!! 5 likes if possible
nothing more flattering than watching somebody as good as alex take interest in learning my parts, and then nailing that shit completely. ALEX!!!!! No surprises here man. Killin it a usual. Hope to see ya in the near future brother!!
These are some of the best sounding drums I've ever heard
1:36 : "I think i dropped my keys"
I remember watching this video 8 years ago and realizing that I just found my favorite drummer. NOW you're in Whitechapel. This made me so damn happy. Good for you Rudy, you deserve it.
This is the most ambidextrous drum kit/drummer I've ever seen.
So efficient.... not a scrap of energy is wasted.... I have learned a ton watching this video.
I love it when people don't read the video descriptions and ask stupid questions which are answered there.
Still don't understand why people would dislike ANY of Alex's videos.. haters gonna hate i guess?
I love seeing awesome musicians cover each others' work. That kind of dedication to music for music's sake is the reason I listen to music at all.
I don't think even Ben Harclerode himself can play this so well :D! Absolutely spot-on!
I could listen to this dude play all day
This dude is one of the most technical, persistant drummers I've seen on UA-cam. WOW.
It was said of Tony Williams, that he had million dollar legs. Alex has trillion dollar legs. Alex, that is incredible. I am in awe of what you do with skins and sticks.

This guy kills it on every video.
One of the best.
Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest , most flawlessly executed drum covers on UA-cam .
It doesn't even make sense how on point/amazing this is. Makes me want to practice for hours/days/months/years
The one with most dry sound on the snare wins :) Awsome playing. He´s at a level I will be in about 500 years...
Saw this years ago and am just now commenting . You are epic bud . Fuckin love you
probably the most astounding drummer, the most fun to watch drummer inaction
id actually pay to see a concert of alex drumming
Great to hear some Whitechapel they are an incredible band hope to see more from you
I was already going to subscribe after seeing just this video, but the "YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS!" at 3:52 sealed the deal. I do that same thing when I play this song.
Can't say this is my most favorite genre, but this guy can play some drums. Possibly the best I have ever heard.
This guy is the definition of a perfectionnist.
..what a machine you are :-) really never listened to a drummer that tight and fast like you..amazing!!!
Qualidade de som, de execução! Precisão total!
i cant even decide whats most impressive about this. this is ridiculous, amazing job man.
Out of everything about this cover that is amazing, the sound of each drum on your kit is my favorite
I have to say, being a drummer of almost 14 years, the technique and timing are insane.
Nada menos do que eu esperava ... melhor batera do gênero da atualidade!
Absolutely sick cover and props to Ben for writing such sick parts.
Duuuude, thanks a ton homie. Glad ya dig! You write some cool jamz. Hopefully we'll get a tour together at some point soon!
Man its just amazing to watch you play. Every time you post a video is just pure happiness for someone like me!
i just can't get over how unbelievebly good this is. watching this the 10th time or more
Gotta give you props for writing that bit from 3:00 - 3:15. Absolutely perfect drum part.
Absolutely dude! That was perfect!
Stellar performance as always. Your feet are so quick, and they never seem to miss hit either, truly an inspiration to all drummers out there regardless of their music tastes and playing style.
everytime I watch any of his videos he leaves me speechless ! Alex really kicks ass !!!
One of the best drummers on youtube, maybe in all of metal, period!
🤘Glad to have seen this in my feed! Absolutely flawless performance!
All your playthroughs crack me up, SO tight! Love the later WC stuff too. Props!
There are sooo many great drummers out there,... but for what I play and what I listen to, ill stay with this guy. Monster Alex
I watch this video so much. Probably the best drum cover on the internet, easily my favourite. Note perfect, would even say this drumming and the sound is better than the original
Absolutely superb as always Alex! Keep the vids coming, the more the better - they really inspire me to get better on the drums myself!
unbelievably good technique, super smooth, and amazing sound. you are one awesome drummer sir!
this is the best sounding drum kit and mix I heard so far
Wow Alex. That was amazing. Your control is simply superb. You really put some power into that track, I don't think I've ever seen you hit so hard.
Holy Batman, that was brilliant! Such a flawless performance.
The drum tones are really good! Sound really tight.
congrats on playing for the faceless man you fit perfect! cant wait to see you guys play
You have some of the best quality covers on youtube! Between the playing and the audio idk what to say, your awesome!
Dude, you're just a joy to watch when you play drums. Awesome!!
you honestly have to be among the top 100 best drummers out there today in the world.
That kit sounds amazing 😭😭
Not to mention you are an absolute BEAST at drumming. You are my new idol
+Adam Rose Good choice. This man is a beast.
Really glad to see this...your other Whitechapel cover actually got me into the band!
god your drums and cymbals sound incredible. just an awesome recording man, i am blown away at how well you play this song…
2:27 He realizes how godly his footwork is
😂😂😂
As always, super clean and sound is getting better and better quality
And now look who you're drumming for. SO sick Rudi!!!
Seriously the best blast beat technique I've ever seen.
Possibly the most awesome drum cover on UA-cam.
everything is so calculated and precise! amazing work!
Holy shit, those blast beats... Immaculate. Some of the most accurate feet I've heard as well.
11 years later and This kit still needs a preset pack for SD3 or EZD3. Best sounding kit you'll hear.
Congrats on becoming the permanent drummer for Whitechapel, Alex! P
Awesome work! The drumming on WC's self titled is killer. Can't wait for the Faceless songs!
you are possibly the tightest playing metal drummer i ever heard - and i am into metal from 1989 ....
Absolute perfectionist. Thank you for being so good!
That breakdown at the end is the sickest thing I have ever heard
Dude! This was incredible. Great work as always. Great sound. Enjoy the tour! 👊🏼🤘🏻
This is soooo good
My god, those snare ghost notes give me goose bumps.
Damn, that snare sounds like an angel singing! And also, you ALWAYS never fail to impress us with your awesome drumming
Jesus dude. You're such a phenomenal drummer. Wow!
holy shit, that's how drums have to sound!! especially the toms are massive!!
drums sound incredible! that snare is amazing
That should be a really good one, the drummers are interested on it for sure!
Dude i love the double kick at the end of this song its amazing
I'm a guitarist but drums are my favourite instrument, glad to hear someone play them this well. Some of your drums look like they've taken a royal pounding over the years haha
You'll get more girls with the guitar. If you love pussy, stay with the guitar. Even though i love pussy, i'm a drummer. I have found a drum easier to start with.

Jamie Gardner Let me put it this way, if you are a vocalist, you'll get all the fame.
shaunpaulcroft For me it's the other way around. I find it hard to focus while trying to practice on the guitar. You'll always sound shit in the beginning but with drumming, you can make a beat while practicing.
Damn. That kit sounded freaking awesome, and obviously he plays them well too.

Insanely awesome job, as always!
1:29 the concentration freaking great cover!! Best i've seen yet!
Damn bro... your timing (especially @ those speeds) is truly amazing! CHEERS!
Love the Shirt ! And once again Bad Ass ! Damn bro speechless atm
Your drumming is flawless dude. And I'm not so sure to many people also take into account that miking is also what could make a difference in sound. Good job in that too.
Greatest tuned/mic'd kit on UA-cam.
best dbl kick drummer alive, and i think he was still 21 @ the time of this vid.
alex and ben harclerode…… my two favorites.
that statement is just not true. plain and simple. Very good drummer though, no doubt.
yeah, to each his own.
be well my friend.
you should check out Aaron Kitcher from Infant Annihilator.
Damon Williams Dude, Aron is the king of triggers, he literally have no punch at all
Lol
Listening to this all day long...
Your drumming makes we want to do two things: 1.) Hang it up; or 2.) Keep practicing. Best drummer I've ever seen!! Keep em coming
That was absolutely perfect. I couldn't find any errors.
SICK. can't WAIT for more faceless playthrus!
What a metronome drummer!Great Kicks and timing!
Great sound, snare, bassdrum, etc
INSANE as always Alex!
