This video also features one of my new snare drums. Tama 13"x7" G-Maple. Sounds dapper!

As always, thanks for watching!
Haha, cool!! Well done. And extremely accurate as well. It must have been a lot of work to map out and memorize all the stuff that I actually had improvised (besides the quintuplet intro fill - that's the only part I wrote out). If you wanna be super-German, keep playing the straight 16ths on the hihat while you do 16th triplets with your feet during the skank beat ;-) But definitely not a must.
@JohannesGroßmann Johannes I absolutely love your work, just wanted to say I really look up to you and your playing! Also very well done Alex, wish I could make the tours it sounds amazing!!
Johannes Großmann Dude, thank you!!! Seriously means a lot to me that you even checked it out & that you dig it.
You've been a big inspiration to me for the extreme metal stuff over the years man, it's a privilege filling in for you (well, your ex-band) & learning your parts. It's also immensely challenging. Hahaha. Some of the newer songs are TOUGH!
But yeah, when I'm doing session work I tryyyyy to do a very "note-for-note" approach, at least until I get more comfortable with the songs & jam with the band. I want to do the songs justice first before I add my own things to it (if that makes any sense). There will be a few things that I change up live of course.
Tried doing the 16ths over the triplet during the skank beat but felt like it was very difficult to lock in the triplets that way. So I opted to break it up a bit. I suppose I'm just not German enough ;) Haha. Anyway, thanks for checkin' it out!
Alex Rüdinger Super shitty our fucked up Customs wouldn't let the rest of the band come tour. I was really looking forward to watching you play this stuff live! I lost my shit when I saw you were covering this song.
Johannes Großmann About that last part, Was it a reference to Jurgen Reil Ventor from kreator who's german and mostly only plays his 200/240 bpm triplets this way cranking up the 16th note on the ride/hi hat ?
It is very nicely done, however...(and no offense to Alex Rudinger)...it seems so much more fluid and elegant when you played it.
Nolly just chillin in the background
That Nolly in the background :D
Fuck. I come to post the same, just 3 years late
6 years here 😂
We'd recognize that head anywhere
Is there anything this guy can't play? Wow every video I've seen today rocks.
So spoiled to have Rudi’s, Sebastian’s and David’s versions of this killer drum track (thanks Hannes!). I dig how they each add their own flavour to it.
This man just has a spare Nolly, just lyin around in his practice dungeon. WHAT A PIECE OF GEAR
Hands down my favorite video you have posted, ever! Please, please cover a Beyond Creation song. Anything off of Aura!
Yeah that would be great, like Omnipresent Perception
LazareFilms YES YES YES
BurnThePope0514 That would be amazing but he's filling in for Obscura on the SS tour. Don't think he'll have time cuz learning songs this complex probably takes a lot time, especially for him to nail verbatim like he did in this video.
Justyn Fogarty Alex is doing 30 minute sets with Obscura, so he still has enough time at this point to nail the songs for the Summer Slaughter tour. He reminds me of Charlie Zeleny in terms of picking music up very quickly. Z nailed the songs for the first Blotted Science album in barely a week before recording!
BurnThePope0514 The song earthborn evolution would be sick!! Cool, fast, and complicated parts accompanied by some stellar groove and fat fills.
Unreal. How are you not hospitalized after every show??
Amazing song, great job recreating all those changes in tempo and mood!
Let the Hannes flow through you.
Sounds like some sort of drug now haha
I picked that snare up about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it. Now I really feel like I made the right choice lol
Always loved this song! Your playing is as always, perfect.
It's 2019 and i still can't get over how perfect this is. I hope you're up to great things, man.
I wild Nolly appears.
Stellar performance! That was undoubtedly badass!
I've never seen anyone hit so hard, yet effortless. And your blast beats are so unbelievable!
just..fucking amazing. been drumming for 30 years and its always good to find new inspiration. smiling throughout/mesmerised. nice one.
YES! It'll be an honor to share the stage with you in NJ brotha!
That's excellent drumming! I'm always amazed at how guys can play like this. Just great stuff! :)
since the day this song came out I always thought that the drummer in this band gave 100 percent to this song and I’ve never seen a single reaction video to that
unfortunately I only saw this video today,
and it almost demonstrates what the Obscura drummer himself must make sense of playing this song! congratz dude even late xD
um I would say this is dead balls perfect. Fantastic!
Hannes Grossmann must be very proud! Or really pissed off by seeing someone else be able to play his parts!
MikeVonDoom I am with that second assertion :D
He commented on this video some days ago ;)
Probably one of my favorite if not my favorite snare/kit sounds you've achieved in your videos. That maple snare really cracks doesn't it!? And coated heads sounds hella nice on that kit. Overall fantastic playing, tuning, and engineering on this video. One of my favorites that you've released thus far. Im always looking forward to new videos of you playing. I also cant wait to see and hear some new Ordinance!!!! Whenever that might be. Cheers!!!
Its ridiculous seeing you fill in/play for all these bands, especially ones that you sort of grew up listening to. That freaking blows my mind. You're living the life man, must be a dream come true. I remember watching ordinance play-through videos when you still had long hair and now you're literally playing in and touring with all of my favorite bands. I envy your bad-assery. I hope to one day be on that level and reach the inner circle (;
Kick ass video!
No words...Amazing.
Flawless as always
Saw you play live this weekend with Light the Torch. You’re a true pro. Love your playing and was thankful to see you kill it live.
The intro is very well done, excellent. Obscura needs you!
Very commendable work. You are one sharp & crafty drummer Count Alex!
Cool! I might be able to catch this @ Webster Hall in NYC!
Awesome performance, that looks intense… Obscura rules!!!🤘😆
Oh, man. I'm loving that there are some 60 fps rates being incorporated in these videos. It makes everything so much smoother and clearer!
U are very gifted mate, if only I had the equivalent of a finger nail clipping of your talent. Love your work, thankyou
Dudes an animal, love listening/watching him play
BEST.COVER.EVER... Keep up the fucking good work man...
Awesome video as always! And Nolly just chilling in the back haha
Pretty excited to see you in both Anaheim and Los Angeles!
Holy shit!!!not too many people could fill this shoes...you just killed it...god damn..you have and amazing gift for this instrument.
The first camera angle its killer!!
And foot camera too!!
Nice job R
Rudimger touring with Obscura, that's great news and great for alliance for both of you. Congratulations Alex.

I got really sad when I heard Hannes Grossmann left Obscura but now that I know you are filling in, makes everything even better!
Love how smooth the 60 fps looks, although it seems only a couple of your cameras are recording at 60. Great as always.

This is too dope! I was depressed Hannes wasn't playing, then this video came up!!! haha.

Look forward to seeing you on tour with Obscura Alex! I haven't had the privilege of seeing you play live since you left Threat Signal and it just so happens Hamilton, ON is one of those Summer Slaughter stops! Congrats bud!
Man, hannes do a súper good Job recording this drum lines, and, of course, grossman is one of my favorite drummers, with blotted science, obscura and necrophagist his style fits perfectly.... Awesome Job and the best wishes for you in the summer slaughter!!
Dude that's awesome! Hope to see you at Heavy Mtl, great cover too!
Good luck in the tour!
This is awesome. I have followed you for some years and you never fail to amaze me and everyone else.
Have you thought about doing some The Algorythm stuff? I´d love to see that.
Gotta start practicing blasting with your left hand but PINKY ONLY! Nah I'm kidding bro, tight as ever. Keep killing it

Now that that's done lol, awesome playing as always, and the drums sound killer. Love the new snare!
Awesome work man, subscribed!

Nolly just chillin in the background LOL!
Should seriously consider making drum lesson videos, that would be fucking amazing dude. Such a huge fan, you've always been a major inspiration to me.
Great job as usual! Would be nice to see some drum lessons.
Awesome :D
Great!
Would be really glad if you gave lessons on metal drumming :|
You're the best out there at the moment. Can't even change tabs on my browser while watching this. Amazing
Aqib Ahsan Lessons would be incredible.
He does Skype lessons! :)
Aqib Ahsan Look up Travis Orbin, he tutored Alex for a short period as far as I recall, he's got a very good way of looking at how to approach drumming in an effective and efficient manner.
Thanks a lot dude. Will look him up. No end to practice :)
So cool, Obscura rulz!!
Also, I would happily buy a transcription of this if you ever made one available.
Concentration face looks so happy!
ALWAYS CRISPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice taps bro..
Crazy man!
Really nice Hannes Grossman cover! Sick !
Finest Elite German Player, Sehr gut.

Never realized you were from Frederick - 20 minutes down the road from ya in Hagerstown. Nice to see a Marylander destroying. \m/
Thank you for 60fps :D
Very good work alex😉
