Alex Rudinger - Cognizance - "The Succession Of Flesh"

- Please note that this video was recorded almost a full year before my switch to TAMA Drums & Hardware.
Last year, I headed down to Audiohammer to track a few songs for the British Tech-Death band, Cognizance. This video is of me tracking drums for "The Succession Of Flesh".
This is actually the second session job I've done for Cognizance. The first one I did at home for their EP 'Inquisition'. So when they hit me up about doing another EP down at Audiohammer with Eyal Levi, I was thrilled. Audiohammer is my favorite place to track drums - great big room, amazing equipment, cool dudes... it's an all around good time. Especially for big nerds like me.
To purchase the new Cognizance EP '_Inceptum', or any of their other merch, please head over to...

This video was not done all in one take; this is the actual footage of me tracking the live drums, so I did do a few punch-in's. Afterward, I edited the video together to make the play-through seamless. Additional filming by Tommy Jones.
Inceptum was Engineered & Mixed by Eyal Levi, and Mastered by Alan Douches

As always, thanks for watching!
@everyone Thank you all for the kind words. Glad you dig it!
You coming to New York anytime? Would dig to meet you sometime I always miss the shows you play here, and did you join Monuments? I just saw a video of you on stage with them.
Is that china on your left an mb8?
Are you using doubles or singles on the kick drum? As always, awesome job!
Jeppe Yo its all singles ;)
+Alex Rüdinger Hey bro. I'm a huge fan. I'm always watching and sharing your stuff.
What is the best advice you can? give for an intermediate drummer for furthering their capabilities behind the kit?
This video should be taught in schools.
Your drumming is always so busy, yet meaningful, everything you play meshes and syncopates with the guitars so well, its really like a puzzle breaking each part down, fun to listen to, and fun to disect
This is amazing
you sir are a damn machine , everytime I check on your videos i'm wordless. The timing is so perfect, bravo
I got turned on to Threat Signal a few years ago and first thing i thought was "Damn that drummer is sick" I've always had favorite drummers growing up and you Sir are at the top of that list.Thank you for the Amazing videos,I hope to see plenty more in the future.
how did i miss this one holy shit. perfection
Such a powerful drummer.. God, I really wish I had this power in these legs
I love your content and you have helped me grow as a drummer, my speed and definition has greatly improved. Thank you!! Keep recording and distributing!!!
Thanks so much, Alex, for inspiring me & a lot of other drummers to practice harder!
He does it again. Blowing my mind every time I go on your channel. Well done!
Alex makes me buy lots of albums playing those covers.
Amazing... Simply amazing!!
Absolute monster! Gotta be one of the top drummers in modern metal.
Amazing licks, what can you not do, seems like a true master of his talents. Keep on rocking them skins and thanks for sharing!
Soo clean man, well played and I love the sounds you can get out of your drums in all of your videos
HOLY SHIT! This is probably my new favourite video from you! Awesome chops dude!
amazing cymbal sound in this one
Fucking amazing Alex. I will now proceed to buy all the Cognizance stuff that iTunes has.
dude you are without a doubt the best drummer right now I do believe
Nothing short of amazing................again.........!!
That be the shit Im talkin' bout Alex. So much more inventiveness present. Fantastic video, I can say mate, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Those off beat alternating blasts between your ride and snare, were just flawless. Cognizance really turn into the ultimate in Technical Death metal with you tracking the drums. Big fan of Cognizance epic EP.
Your mixing makes this type of music listenable to me. :)
Awesome forever Alex!!
Best sounding kit I've ever heard
Dang man, you are probably one of the most cleanest technical drummers out there today. Love your set up too.
I would argue with confidence that the sweatiest thing in the world is Alex's drum throne.
This drumming is phenomenal.
Just watched for the first time and felt like wtf why did I miss this. And I just also know an amazing band by this video too
Outstanding brilliant
Killin it!!!
Amazing !
alex!!! you are my idol!!!
Such a beast!
I was doing okay this week until I saw this. This made me feel so bad about my drumming skills. Phenomenal drumming. Undoubtedly one of the best. Cheers
Nailed it!
LOVE the Exist shirt, Alex! Great, great band. Glad you like em too.
Geez, man. Watching you play is exhausting!
I'm tripping looking at the old Exist logo hahaha. I think I'm gonna wear my own Exist shirt today.
Dude your drumming is so good! I really wanna see cognizance play live. I,ll open that pit up.
Unfortunately, it's meant to be a studio only band :(
Natt Ravn never say never friend. The world is open to possibilities you have yet to dream of.
I don't find "never" in my reply ;) ... add an imaginary "currently"!
Sensacional ✌
Ótimo controle nos pedais.
Audix D6 in all tons! hahaha! NICE!
That's the first thing I noticed haha
I always wondered how would that sound... It makes those smaller toms sound huge!
a lot of guys use them for toms because they have great eq curve for that, but they can get bleedy
After seeing Alex play I really have to relearn blasts!
Same! XD
This sounds fucking awesome!!!
The consistency is fucking insane throughout the whole song! :DD
🖤
this is ridiculously good
Мостр!!!
This guy is awesome!
Holy shit that rocked
The future of drumming is here - and his name is Alex!
one of the best in the trade
wow your just so incredibly clean man..its honestly amazing. and are those the pearl demonators with the spring tension maxed out?
not a single f*ck was given...great one as always!
🔥👏🏾🔥👏🏾
so nice
sin palabras!!!!!!!!
Pero que Rifado....!!!! sin duda unos de mis bateristas favoritos
Dude, unreal
Epic! I wish there was a more static camera with the foot cam though.
All Audix d-6's on the drums! That sounds so killer you might be on to something!!
You are a great drummer bro. Alexander the Great.
Holy Shit!!!
tight !
Come on in they said.....we'll have a WHALE of a good time! 🐳
Regards from Indonesia Mr. Alex!
You' re fucking unbelievable man...you're drumming in a level 98% of players out there can only dream of...
Just got the bands crewneck shirt in mail, although I ended up paying over 50 dollars with shipping and taxes. I regret nothing, it is a spectacular piece of gentlemen's clothing.
Killer chops man. That kit sounds absolutely gorgeous, did the snare and toms belong to the studio?
Awesome work, as usual. I'd love to see some 60 fps stuff now that UA-cam supports it.
A+
Dude, the fact that on most of your videos you try to give constructive feedback and just say thank you in the comments, is freaking epic! I just recently started getting into the blasting fast beats of more brutal metal, and i saw on instagram you were hanging with matt garstka. So, i figured id check you out and im truly amazed!!! Ive never been so inspired musically and as a person. I saw a comment about the band The faceless on your newest Monuments cover, and the fact that you left the band because of unhealthy risks tells me you've got integrity. Which makes you even more of an inspiring person!
I also have a question. I'm a drummer myself and i'm looking for some tips on getting better chops while keeping things clean. Does that make since? Like how do you play so fast but play in time? Are there any exercises you would recommend?
Btw, the bun is bad ass dude. haha keep up the good work!
Please make a video how to practise Double Bass and why you are so an amazing drummer :)
Chris Turner vs Alex Rudinger- reaaddyyy and..go!
Alex is the answer. Alex is love. Alex is life †
That was rad as fuck, well done man!
Amazing...
And the drums sounds as f*ck :D
Awesome
Awesome as always, Alex! :D Just wondering, why do you sometimes wait a long time to upload certain videos, like this one?
nice one! Sounds a bit like the faceless to me, which is a thing that I like :)
Dude, you are my fuckin idol!! for u i continue working with no rest!!
Greetings!!
grande Alex ! EJEMPLO SOS para la nueva generación ! Laaarga viuda a la musica y al METAL !
larga viida
Wooooo. Come on in they said.....we'll have a WHALE of a good time! 🐳
I had to play this hit twice.
The mix is garbley! Why Alex :( I've loved all your recent mixes!
Awesome playing, as always! Alex, would you be so kind and tell us your mic specs from this session, or at least what you use to record drums in your home studio? Thank you! \m/
Sick dude. Would've liked to see some of that GoPro footage too
The GoPro footage turned out ok, but the quality was so drastically different than the rest I decided not to use it. At some point I'd like to invest in some of the newer GoPro's and incorporate them into the filming process.
I feel ya dude. The new Hero 4's are insane. Would love to get some as well
Great Vid! Audix D6s on the toms? If so.. Nice.. never tried mine on a tom before.
Both his legs have lives of thier own!
Aleeeeeex \m/
The best
So you basically walked in, played the song once, and they were like "great we got it. That was perfect."
Not at all, I did 4 total takes all the way through the song. We decided which we liked best, and punched a few things after. I filmed it all and edited it to be a seamless play-through (which I stated in the video description).
Alex Rüdinger Haha, I hope you know I was kidding and it was a compliment to your consistent, phenomenal playing.
Great video and flawless drumming as always but I'm gonna be that guy that points out you misspelled Cognizance.
Hahahaha, that ruled. And thank you for pointing it out! Overlooked it somehow. It's been changed!
The endurance though.
Dude you look like John Longstrength with that hair, beard and drumming, that's great !
Holy fucking shit.
I really think the guitars sound way better in this video than they do in the actual mixed song... Idk.. Anyways great drum work as always!
Hey Alex, it'd be awesome if you'd do a tutorial on how you tune your drums. I'd love to know how you tune your snare, I have the same head but can't get that sound.
So fucking great!
I want you as my teacher! :D
sick cover, also why is there so many moon gels on the snare?
I fucking love cognizance and didn't know bout this xD
MASTER lml
I thought for a sec Tama came out with a direct drive pedal... Then I read the description.
Comeon, Tama... there's a market...
theres a company out that makes universal direct drive for pretty much all pedals. i'll get back to you when i find it again. btd13
KodRaiN
The company mentioned above is called "StompDrive". They manufacture and sell kits to convert many non-direct drive pedals into direct drive pedals. Check them out! The kits are a bit expensive for my taste but I am sure that 100 bucks (for a double-pedal convertions kit) is a lot more affordable than a 600$ direct pedal
magamegabamba thanks for some reason i couldn't remember the name of it but thats exactly what i was talking about
