I've never seen this guy play before today. I'm impressed all the way around, creativity, power, precision, flawless technique, awesome posture. You sir, kick ass.
Alex IS drumming to me. It's that simple. Fast, consistent, creative, blisteringly heavy while still having a solid groove. Wow, man. Just wow. I dream to attain to A TENTH of your greatness.
:51 - :57 I have finally realized why I love it so much. He's playing the left hand 8th notes all on the up beat, 16ths on the bass, and 3 note (last note accented) groupings on his cymbal. OMG that shit was so clean though.
Alex reminds me a lot of a guy I jammed with in high school. My friend wasn't as good, but whenever he got behind his kit he started having the time of his life, like Alex. Easily the most fun drummer I've ever jammed with.
The HAARP Machine's first album's drums were written and recorded by Craig Reynolds. Just so there's no confusion...this is a cover, put some respek on Craig.
that little smile he does at 2:20 is PRICELESS. he knows hes about to go into that bomb ass groove. when he does the china crash hits hes like "that's the reason i play drums"
Watching this after watching your faceless cover reveals it all. You look pissed off in this video, like your hearts not in it. It seems like your completing a chore. The Faceless cover is where you're having a blast. It's great fun to watch.
alex is a beast. saw him play with the faceless while ago. now i don't know what he had taken but fucker had this smile on his face the whole time of gig.
Don't think I've seen you have as much fun in a play through before... Congrats on the gig bro, suits your style of playing to a tee. Killer as always!!
I've seen almost all this guys videos, and I've never seen him play like this. He so into it! He could probably play it backwards! No detail is looked over and I think hes found his home. Congrats on yet another endorsement bro, you deserve it.
True, a lot of artists come and go in metal nowadays. Alex and I are pretty good friends. He has known the guys in the HAARP Machine for a while now. They get along well and the sound of this band has been something he has been looking to be a part of for a decent amount of time. I don't think he'll be going anywhere anytime soon.
I like to imagine al mummin is behind the camera with his arms crossed ready to tell him to do it again and again till it’s perfect that he hears mistakes
Everyone is talking about stick trick at 1:15 but no one notice the slickest,sickest,most amazing fill of all time that he plays in that moment on bass drumms. I am a drummer and that is,in my opinion,one of the best fills/licks of all time,and this monster did it with his fucking feet. Thats why i come back every now and then. For great drumming sure,but that fill gives me goosebumps every time... 🤘
I mean, it's just a linear fill between the bass drum and the toms. It's very clean, but nothing special in metal. Same thing with the sextuplets. Alex has done a lot of stuff way more impressive than that tbh.
Oh, i've watched a ton of Alex's videos, and i had no idea he was the drummer for The HAARP Machine, pleasant suprise! I'll see you in Copenhagen in March
If I have to show people only one video of Alex´s awsome skills, I show people this video. Damn, I´ve been watching this video from time to time a couple of years now, and it´s still blows my mind. 1:09 > still gives me the gooses.
He always looks soooooo frickin happy and it makes me smile a lot. Haha
Alex Rüdinger is the manic yet perfect drum sound of Sumerian. He could be in any Sumerian band and just kick ass.
I could seriously watch this 24/7 for days without blinking.
Crazy time signature lmao
Ten years later I remember how great this session was. Cheers mate
According to some famous musicians, Alex Rudinger is not human anymore.
I come back every once on a while and listen to this masterpiece. It's always fun to watch Alex enjoying drums. :)
Please everybody. Get up and clap your hands. This guy deserve it at least.
yeaaah
I've never seen this guy play before today. I'm impressed all the way around, creativity, power, precision, flawless technique, awesome posture. You sir, kick ass.
All time favorite drummer.
So sick,I've watched this countless times. As well shout out to the man who actually composed it. Craig Reynolds.
He's holding back a smile while he plays and he's getting into it. That's what I like to see. And he's killing it.
Man, I forgot how SICK Craig's drum parts were on this record
i've been playin for 20 years watchin him blast feel like a rookie
One of the cleanest drummer i've ever seen. You're a huge inspiration, Alex!
i can't stop listening to this song!
man, he's so happy when he's playing! I can't help but smile too.
genius drummer. skill unlike any other. you can tell he enjoys it to the fullest but has a mindset to be unparalleled.
Look at the various grins he's giving whilst playing. He's loving it!
Alex IS drumming to me. It's that simple. Fast, consistent, creative, blisteringly heavy while still having a solid groove. Wow, man. Just wow. I dream to attain to A TENTH of your greatness.
He is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VVVVVVVVVVVVVERRRRRY.....solid drummer. :D
definitely
One of the BEST drummers i`ve ever seen!!!
:51 - :57 I have finally realized why I love it so much. He's playing the left hand 8th notes all on the up beat, 16ths on the bass, and 3 note (last note accented) groupings on his cymbal. OMG that shit was so clean though.
Blast beats man lol

Outstanding drummer, I love his style and he looks like he truly enjoys what he's doing!
Hearing those epic vocals in my head. OPEN YOUR EYES
I just wish i could wake up every day, come to your channel and find a new video of you playing a new song! I watch these video's over and over O_O
The HAARP Machine's first album's drums were written and recorded by Craig Reynolds. Just so there's no confusion...this is a cover, put some respek on Craig.
The part @1:11 when he really starts smiling is one of the most fun things to play on drums, it's easy but it always sounds great.
Dude not only is this sick, but it looks like he is having so much fun playing it! absolutely sick man!
that little smile he does at 2:20 is PRICELESS. he knows hes about to go into that bomb ass groove. when he does the china crash hits hes like "that's the reason i play drums"
is not fair... they have left me hungry for more albums this is no fair.
I loved their first drummer, but this guy just seems way more happier and still so good.
i love the singing , especially on pleiadian keys and disclosure. thanks.
alex i simply love your drum in this song, making it even more amazing!
It sounds so nice because they mixed and EQ'd it to perfection in post production.
I just realized that I've been watching this guy for like an hour and I'm yet to hear his time falter even a little
i am more than impressed
Free of influence
Free of control Disclosure
Bad ass drums & vocals
so tight, its unreal. what a machine alex rudinger is
OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY OMG ALEX YOU BEAST
That metric modulation at 1:10.. these guys are on a whole different level.
Best metal drumming I've seen in ages.
so stoked i get to open for these guys and the facless in london dec.5th cant wait too watch this dude live finally
Flawless victory!!! Amazing drumming Alex!
Watching this after watching your faceless cover reveals it all. You look pissed off in this video, like your hearts not in it. It seems like your completing a chore.
The Faceless cover is where you're having a blast. It's great fun to watch.
Lars stop disliking
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
I almost cried laughing 😂 😭 🤣
Some of it was from Al Mu'min
The rest of the dislikes are Dave Mustaine’s concert hired gun rejects
@@dyingfetus2483 wassup? :-) Man, I wish my fetus died
alex is a beast. saw him play with the faceless while ago. now i don't know what he had taken but fucker had this smile on his face the whole time of gig.
It was awesome live. Highly recommend checking them out next tour.
Mother of drummers! epic!
Couple weeks ago. Touring gig. Can't wait to see them in December.
I sold my drum kit after seeing this video. Alex is a beast!!
Extremely talented 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Don't think I've seen you have as much fun in a play through before... Congrats on the gig bro, suits your style of playing to a tee. Killer as always!!
Awesome Drumming! Those Pearl Masters sound phenomenal!
I've seen almost all this guys videos, and I've never seen him play like this. He so into it! He could probably play it backwards! No detail is looked over and I think hes found his home. Congrats on yet another endorsement bro, you deserve it.
I agree, I've seen dozens of his videos for years but can say because of this video I'm now on board.
As a fellow drummer, I can imagine the satisfaction that was going through his mind at 1:15
The stick trick at 1:17! So slick!
True, a lot of artists come and go in metal nowadays. Alex and I are pretty good friends. He has known the guys in the HAARP Machine for a while now. They get along well and the sound of this band has been something he has been looking to be a part of for a decent amount of time. I don't think he'll be going anywhere anytime soon.
That was some of the best drumming ice ever seen great jobb
I like to imagine al mummin is behind the camera with his arms crossed ready to tell him to do it again and again till it’s perfect that he hears mistakes
Im so glad you're their drummer now dude, you have no idea. I cant wait for the day you guys come to dallas tx so i can meet all of you
2020 and this is still one of the greatest eps ever
Play this on a quality amp/stereo. WOW!
He's credited in te CD man, if you don't buy it, well you can't complain.
Yessssssss!!!!!! And, btw, I LOVE instrumentals!!!! Especially this one!
Gonna miss this band
I swear that I could listen to Mike's voice at 1:48.
you can see at 1:00 he knows he nailed and he starts smiling. awesome!
This is the first time I've ever seen him do a stick trick. At 1:16 in the video.
You make it look so damn effortless.
I'm honestly not sure how many times I've mashed the like button yet. Glad that he's playing for The Faceless, but I'm still sad that

I mean, it's just a linear fill between the bass drum and the toms. It's very clean, but nothing special in metal. Same thing with the sextuplets. Alex has done a lot of stuff way more impressive than that tbh.
Amazing always enjoy watching him play :)
Never seen Alex so happy! Good for you Rudy! :)
dat kick tone............. so good
Oh, i've watched a ton of Alex's videos, and i had no idea he was the drummer for The HAARP Machine, pleasant suprise! I'll see you in Copenhagen in March
Awesome reverse stick flip is awesome
Beastly as ever, Alex.
Saw this guy with the faceless last week in México, he is awesome!
you just did that man,, amazing,,
Thanks - I am definitely checking him out!
Don't rush into speed. Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. Learn it right the first time and build from there.
Great job Alex, great job Haarp Machine
the man is a beast... hands down
the stick flip gets me every time so nasty
He nail it with a sweet smile.
One take? Are you serious? He did this in ONE take...
Not surprised. Dude's a straight-up machine on the kit.
Bryant McNamara he did right the song you know... lol
***** Yeah, I could write 1,000 songs, but to perform one without making a single mistake is something else. Especially at this caliber.
Bryant McNamara he wrote it, recorded and played it hundreds of times. he should have perfected it now.
***** He didn't write it actually. He joined after it was recorded I believe.
0:50 oh man, that finger work!!
Alex is so clean powerful and precise I love this guy he's amazing put many a drummer who drum in this style to shame..
This is just plain cool!
It took me so long to notice that they have the double bass in the top right corner... mind blown
SO CLEAN!
INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!
Because you mentioned Alex Grind, I definitely agree.
Yeah. There are videos of The Faceless performing in Mexico with Alex on the drums, he plays the parts flawlessly.
I liked and added this to my favorites before this even started playing.
This is AWESOME!!
just incredible
Freaking amazing. Release the instrumental version of the album please!
If I have to show people only one video of Alex´s awsome skills, I show people this video.
Damn, I´ve been watching this video from time to time a couple of years now, and it´s still blows my mind.
1:09 > still gives me the gooses.
It´s like.. he´s divided in to four pieces. fucking amazing.
