Haha awesome, really appreciate the reply, I have been at the hospital for two days straight because my sister just had back surgery, and that definately just cheered me up a ton man thank you.
If you think about it. part of what makes this song so great is the role the drums play too. It completely dictates the pace, build-up and excitement at the key points, ESPECIALLY towards the end. Meshed so well with the whole composition of the song. Watching Alex was like watching a magician at work.
I'm no drummer, but I love watching all your drum covers. When I found out you were actually in The Faceless and this superband, I was all "?!" Keep up that amazing drumwork, man.
Conquering Dystopia is such an amazing project. I hope to hear more from these guys soon. I don't know if it will ever happen. I was blown away when I heard blotted science, then I just recently discovered all these guys did a instrumental collab. This album is truly just a beautiful work of art. Am I greedy for wanting more and more and more?
Well, I've been following you for quite a while. Bought this CD a couple months back. Had no idea you were responsible for the drumming... What a pleasant surprise... Muahaha
Alex During the recording process: "Hey guys..i think ill just put this blast beat right here, you know its only half a bar and theyre 32nd notes but no biggie."
Did i notice a tiny mistake between 4:28-4:29 with an extra or mistimed floor tom? not slating the performance atall, you're one of my favourite drummers. pointed it out because seeing you make a mistake is like seeing a calculator mess up maths hahaha.
I really love your work Alex, and I love the technique side of Conquering Dystopia, but some songs (especially this one) are not that good musically, somehow. But other than that, good job! You are the kind of drummer that makes me want to pursue this wonderful instrument.
That's because I'm not sight reading. Most of the time, when I'm trying, I've already learned the song - or at least the majority of it. I put my sheet music up if there're a few parts that I still need to read to play correctly. So in the case of this song, I only look up at it when I need to.
Alex Rüdinger How do you even read sheet music for a song like this, anyways?? Lol.. It seems way too complicated and quick to even keep up with on paper.
Sheesh man that sheet music must look insane, thanks for actually commenting back that was really cool of you dude! I don't know how your brain can keep up with all of that information 😝
Please man, next time mix the drum set higher the music is too loud for the sound of the drums, i love to listen to your awsome beats i just need it to be more clear
I love the new tunes you are posting, but I really hate this camera angle. Anyway you can go back to what you had before? The overhead, however, is nice.
When I ordered merch from Alex, he sent me the stuff in a demon drives box flipped inside out, hahaha I thought that was pretty awesome.
Hahahaha, I was going to throw it away otherwise! Those things are expensive, figured I might as well put every bit of them to use. Box included ;)
Haha awesome, really appreciate the reply, I have been at the hospital for two days straight because my sister just had back surgery, and that definately just cheered me up a ton man thank you.
Good way to start your day off, a fresh vid of Alex !
Thumbs up if you want Planet Duality! Alex, do it for the fans!
Yes. I totally agree with you there!
Sure, but i want all three Autotheist Movements first :P
so much yes.
Ive been really wanting him to do this!!! Hell yes. Id watch that shit every day
Forget Autotheism.. planetary duality 1 and 2 all the wayy!!!
If you think about it. part of what makes this song so great is the role the drums play too. It completely dictates the pace, build-up and excitement at the key points, ESPECIALLY towards the end. Meshed so well with the whole composition of the song. Watching Alex was like watching a magician at work.
I love that double ride, sounds sick!
Awesome song. Fantastic album. Excellent musicians!
One of my favorite songs on the album
Arguably the best metal drummer out there, really looking forward to the project with Feener!
This whole song, album and group just NEVER get old!
More, need more please.
Metal induced hard on is killing me!
One of the most well played & well filmed videos ever!!
I'm no drummer, but I love watching all your drum covers. When I found out you were actually in The Faceless and this superband, I was all "?!" Keep up that amazing drumwork, man.
Haha and he is also really the drummer for this band! I am buying this album!
Saw him playing at the 9:30 Club with AAL and Chon... stellar show.
Man this song is a lot more technical than it sounded at first.
I gotta go back to the beginning every time again when i click on this Video, Cuz that intro Riff is so friggin awesome.. Holy moly!
Superior, once again Mr Rudinger. This song is so insanely tough. Amazing you wrote such busy orchestrations, mind blown
Best thing to post at 3:30am. Thanks.
Awesome Video! Please more from Conquering Dystopia !
Absolutely amazing as usual. Please come to Canada!!!!!
Conquering Dystopia is such an amazing project. I hope to hear more from these guys soon. I don't know if it will ever happen. I was blown away when I heard blotted science, then I just recently discovered all these guys did a instrumental collab. This album is truly just a beautiful work of art.

I thought that the production value of your videos was pretty high before, but this one blew them away.
Dude is from a different planet
If this album is out. Which I presume it is I'm getting it
One of the gnarliest things I've ever witnessed
Very tight and precise 👊
Saw you guys in DC and I swear your a machine,unreal drumming!!
Sick!! Flawless as usually
This song comes very near to complete musical perfection.
Well, I've been following you for quite a while. Bought this CD a couple months back. Had no idea you were responsible for the drumming... What a pleasant surprise... Muahaha
Haha, thank you!
love your work man. amazing technique
Good job Alex very impressive killer job all your double bass format is on time good job my man
Best video so far mang!
The beast is back.

Unstoppable unmersiful drumming
Killer drums and killer faces!
Really loved the drumming at 1:25 , that part just stuck for some reason
So god damn precise, man! Just saw you guys on tour with AAL and was very impressed, great drumming :)
GREAT SONG! GREAT DRUMMING!!
I love this song!!!
What size of the Vicfirth in this video?
uncommon ambidextrous, epic as usual Alex \m/
Alex During the recording process: "Hey guys..i think ill just put this blast beat right here, you know its only half a bar and theyre 32nd notes but no biggie."
I see this video everyday!!!
MINDBLOWING.
Best song on the album!
Pure bad-assery at it's finest!
your sound
Wtf did I just watch.. Awesome as always.
The best drummer ever
im drummer I used to but sense I watched u I got better keep putting in the work
holy balls this song is amazing
Love the perspectives and color correction! But do the same correction on all parts please :D
Alex i´m your fan!!! do you have a video technics Blasts Beats?! Thanks the best drummer!
It says you endorse Tama drums in your description but that looks like a 100% pearl kit? Was that just for use in this particular video?
This cover was released in May, Alex just signed on with Tama just very recently so he was still endorsed by Pearl in this video.
How I wish I had the feet technique you have hehehe, Nice Video.
Might need to change my shorts after that one..
You should do some origin alex, im sure youll nail it
quiero clases de batería con Alex haha
WHY isn't there a live version of this?!?!?
Did i notice a tiny mistake between 4:28-4:29 with an extra or mistimed floor tom? not slating the performance atall, you're one of my favourite drummers. pointed it out because seeing you make a mistake is like seeing a calculator mess up maths hahaha.
Fking Awesome Brotha !! as always =)
The riff that starts at 0:24 seriously sounds like Blut Aus Nord.
Love those Maryland shorts. lol
Which drum kit did you use for the recording of the Conquering Dystopia record? just curious.
im in love...
I really love your work Alex, and I love the technique side of Conquering Dystopia, but some songs (especially this one) are not that good musically, somehow.
But other than that, good job! You are the kind of drummer that makes me want to pursue this wonderful instrument.
Is it a Tama Starphonic snare ?
I see those MD flag shorts. Represent!
What is Alex looking at to his left? Is it note sheets?
I think it is. Not sure though
It is.
i think he mentioned in one of his videos that it's just basic notation to follow song structure, fills, etc.
Jack Davis agreed
too good
hopefully this isnt a douchey or rude question, but who are your favorite drummers out there right now alex?
i bought the album its fucking amazing
crazy
Dood killer cover but question how come sometimes you look up and read the sheet music and other times your just goin ham and doin it with no sheet?
That's because I'm not sight reading. Most of the time, when I'm trying, I've already learned the song - or at least the majority of it. I put my sheet music up if there're a few parts that I still need to read to play correctly. So in the case of this song, I only look up at it when I need to.

Dudeeeeeeeee
Autotheistic Movement I, II, & III! let's go (:

Please man, next time mix the drum set higher the music is too loud for the sound of the drums, i love to listen to your awsome beats i just need it to be more clear

One word proactiv!
Shit I'd rather be covered in head to toe acne if I could even come close to playing like this man
졸라멋있내...
