Alex Rudinger - Ordinance - "Repress"

[L3W15888]

What sample module are you using for you kick?

[DrumEagle]

at 4:52

is this a reference to "Bleed" from Meshuggah?

[DrumEagle]

floortoms of doom

[Vorryngr]

Very cool stuff! Loved the Meshuggah referenve during the end of the song ;)

Can you please let me know your drum set up?

[Adamski986]

listening to this with earphones in, your toms sound great. oozing with resonance *drool*

[GreveBrorDuktig]

4:50 - 4:59 isnt that a sample from a Gojirasong?

[GreveBrorDuktig]

@GreveBrorDuktig or bleed by meshuggah?

[xXObscureNightmareXx]

Directions:

1) Click 1080p on video quality

2) Have a coffe while waiting the load

3) Have a cigarette and watch it with fullscreen.

[CamerOneiric]

The intro is strikingly similar to The Fury by Decapitated

[TVDeathWish]

I want your kit!

[plugza]

awesome drumming with poop-in-the-pant face make me feels awkward :D

[necrophagist00]

The chorus of this song is RETARDED good!! I had to make it my ringtone on my phone. I especially love the clean guitar part which is actually easier to hear on this video then the CD version.

[W11BO1]

I fucking love that little Meshuggah bit you do at the end..

I've always loved references like that

[jakubrox19]

This guy is sick and NO disrespect, but he looks like a skinny Private Pile from Full Metal Jacket when he plays. Great job though!

[MikeJunior94]

4:51 BLEEEEEEEED

[PBALLERAZ]

What kind of pedals are those

[IWCSofficial]

No more Meinl?:c

[MattieBDrums]

@IWCSofficial this was before he signed with meinl

[mdterps1042]

@IWCSofficial

This was recorded long before I was playing Meinl Cymbals actually

[Sam10830]

And man, your just amazing! just watching you play just pumped me up! i wish the greatest for you and your band! keep it up!

[musikteer]

Do you use triggers man?

[Skeluz]

I love blasts using wrists. Nice job, as always.

[mrbubs]

the drumming on this is muy bueno.

[mrbubs]

the drumming on this is muy bueno.

[sweetfly66]

phenomonal , and i`m not even a fan or familiar with this kind of music

[Tuskanozak]

How loose are your pedals? Either extremely loose, and expensive, or you have top-notch leg power.

[JonathanGravesDrums]

@Tuskanozak I think he actually has them tightened all the way.

[MikePostDrums]

@mdterps1042 What did you do to achieve the tom sounds? The tone is so long, it's ridiculous. I assume you're not using any effects.

@musikteer Yeah, he does.

@Tuskanozak Maximum spring tension.

[Sam10830]

@Tuskanozak theyre tightened to the max because the style of the song.

[MrCMURRAY]

hahaha man! are u even tired after that???? its amazing how much u dont look like ur putting effort into it!! lol well done man!!

[Scatology900]

This song is amazing man! Wow! And your drumming... 0_0! I'm curious to see you doing Behold Judas of Hate Eternal. :P

[TruthTheSpeaker]

sick ending!

[necrophagist00]

They keyboard part at 4:10 kills me every time. Hail Ordinance!

[tyleronthemountain]

who's the dunce who disliked this?

[nick122122123]

The Meshuggah part at the end FUCKING RULES!!!!

[deathscout8]

1:10 .... holy, some of your most original shit right there dude

[TheDrummerKick2]

Your vocalist is sick

[DevilKingGR]

u dont mind if i "steal" some of ur drumming do u???? although i cant do much of ur drumming!!!!

[DevilKingGR]

dude why???? ....why so awesome????

[rollinfever15]

Any tips on developing speed and control on hand and feet?

[IAMEmmettKerr]

Why is there a Cueterebra Boy Fly removal video related to this?

[Motazaliad]

Man i TOTALLY need this album!!!

[TheSik66]

Holy Shit! 0:00 - 5:33 sounds exactly like Repress by Ordinance!! no fuckin way!!!!

[666VitalRemains666]

0:05 = Decapitated - The Fury first riff

[MrRyanSams]

basically, whoever disliked this is just unhappy that this guy has just shat all over them.

[Riiivinn]

love that part at 1:19

[dragonduf21]

nice shirt bro!

[WitnessTheForgotten]

0:56 changed lead? I prefer it!

[Alboskiem]

I love the sound of those floor toms.

[DissYraiN]

Dude, Album of the fucking year. I just got mine in the mail today. Popped it on my Klipsch speakers, smoked a bowl, and was mind blown for 35 minutes.

[FAh1en]

Thats some amazing drumming! :D

[TexdoIIy]

Hey Alex! Big fan of your drumming man! I'm just wondering what's happening with Ordinance? Is there coming more? Been a long time since i've heard this awesome kickdrum work! ;)

[asdasdasd240]

are you related to travis orbin?

[mdterps1042]

@asdasdasd240

Hahaha, no I'm not. We are 'bros' in the figurative sense, but not literally brothers. He's a big inspiration to me though!

[The678strings]

Please do a cover of bleed by meshugaah

[Spacecowboyy]

i have a question about your sticking technique. do you use all-wrist or finger control as well for those blasts?

[Spacecowboyy]

@Spacecowboyy nvm i saw you using both in the video.

[Ckasady91]

fuck you alex rudinger. No really, you are awesome. but fuck you ;)

[Drumtome]

FUCK YES! V FOR VENDETTA! I love that movie haha.

[brosseadent]

omg at 1:20 that amwsome !! the ride riff

[skatingbassistdan]

ssooo ggooooodd !!!

[SpiritualComatose]

4:50 Meshuggah FTW!

[zakkah93]

Wow dude, this is crazy, how much do you practice and how old are you?

[BTeeper]

into sounds a lot like "the Fury" by decapitated and incredible job

[DGenius505]

I'm not fun of deathcore, but i like THAT song!!! Besides drumming on A with a huge + !!!!

[TruthTheSpeaker]

FUCK that little hi-hat fill at 1:20 blows my mind!

[Mrcastleskeep]

I love the Bleed riff in there. Great drumming! I aspire to attain the mastery over my kit the way you have.

I just figured out that Bleed riff tonight kinda by accident. I did something that reminded me of it and after that it wasn't too hard. I think I was inpired by your vid cuz I watched this earlier today already.

[Taylorlit]

4:51 Beams of fire sweep through my head! Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged !

[Sevenstringmachine]

outfuckingstanding, I will pick up your cd for sure, Im a huge threat signal fan too, i cant wait to hear your contribution to my favorite band.

[mdterps1042]

@Sevenstringmachine

Thanks man! I appreciate the support!

[armagedonman1065]

4:51 sounds exactly like Bleed by Meshuggah

[mdterps1042]

@armagedonman1065

It is. We did it on purpose.

[armagedonman1065]

@mdterps1042 oho, its a great song dude, you're fucking amazing at drums.

[dyculus]

@mdterps1042 and then a big smile appeared on my face :) nice tribute

[cscrignaro]

@mdterps1042 lol why though?

[mdterps1042]

@cscrignaro

Why what?

[cscrignaro]

@mdterps1042 why did you guys put in an exact part from another band into your song? were you trying to mock them or pay tribute? i am just curious why a band would do that.

[mdterps1042]

@cscrignaro

It's actually not 'in the song'. If you listen to the album version, it's not there. The song fades out long before then. I just played that rhythm in the outro of this song for the video (I figured Greg would have faded it out by then anyway, ending the song/video) but when he sent me the first mix, the bleed guitar part was added as a joke. I thought it was funny and pretty cool so we decided to keep it. Just a shout out to a band we like, no mocking or negative gesture.

[DruBlast]

@armagedonman1065 just for this bro. thats not on the record :)

[DeathDrumGod]

@armagedonman1065 Thats exactly what I was thinking. Not that that is a bad thing entirely. I would be stoked if someone said I sounded like Meshuggah.

[NovembersDooom]

@armagedonman1065 Who cares?

[Tetramor4]

@armagedonman1065 sounds exactly like Illwill-Whether With or Without

[Bgrif2020]

@armagedonman1065 yeah it is...... wtf? hahaha

[XDariXx]

i love how youre chainging your leading arm couple of times

[bonfu1]

i nedd to get this music. where is it?

[HydraSperati]

Like the meshuggah mix in the end, totally unnoticeable, but I bought the album because of this nonetheless :)

[FilthyLunatic]

subbed after the 1st stroke. are those demon drives?

[jhonyeryc]

thanks for answering brother.

this week I'll buy the shirt and cd ordinance

I was happy to send it to Brazil \ o /

[jhonyeryc]

I'm a fan of your videos, watch all at home ^ ^

the stick you use is 5b?

please to tell me of?

[mdterps1042]

@jhonyeryc

In this video I was using the Zildjian Mike Mangini Signature sticks.

[JWG1994]

The Meshuggah part was so badass, and cleverly done as well

[drumnerd75]

Dude he doesn't have downs

[azterion]

love the reference to meshuggah's bleed at 4:52 . BTW this video its a perfect performance, I don't know how you achieved that kind of precision. Love all your stuff. Respect and greetz from Costa Rica.

[baalbelphegor]

Hey I'm curious as to how you tune your drums, they sound so sexy. Looks kinda tight on top, maybe loose to medium on bottom? Mostly curious about the snare sound but the snare sounds awesome as well.  Incredibly diverse playing btw, sick to see you got signed with Meinl!

[howycwap]

@baalbelphegor he probobly uses the bob gatzen way. watch his videos, theyre really good and they make your toms sound beautiful

[Kevinkoch2443]

So solid man! Very bombastic!

[Thorbrandt]

When you learn to control your face as good as your drumsticks you rise from awesome to godlike, man ;-)

really nice drumming!

[betterthandirt]

Am I only the one who prefers the snare sound on this video to the official version on MySpace?

[gseeber1]

The stops at 4:34 are awesome. Very clean. But why the meshuggah part? haha

[guitardrummer08]

Dude, your drumming is really friggin good. you have accuracy, lots of stamina, and plenty of creativity. I've watched your videos before and you've got what it takes to be one of the b est drummers in the world...

Akrios1337.......I outta kill you for disrespecting Alex Rudinger. he's skilled. who cares if he looks like he has downs syndrome. you probably have gonnaherpesyphilaids or somethin, but I'm not calling you out on it, now am I?

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Bleed - meshuggah at the end? lol

[IamAbsolved89]

You're one of the most precise drummers I've ever heard. Absolute flawless playing.

I can't wait to blast this album. 7/26 can't come fast enough

[Akrios1337]

dude i dont know what it is but you look like you have downs lol, just sayin great drumming by the way.

[mdterps1042]

@Akrios1337

Uhhh......????

Thanks I think

[Maitzeth]

@Akrios1337 hahaha xD

[xarper90]

@Akrios1337 by "downs" are you referring to down's syndrome?

[Akrios1337]

@xarper90 yea lol look what hes doing with his mouth i just thought it was funny

[drumnerd75]

@Akrios1337

What are u talking about hey doesn't have downs...amazing drumming my friend.

[MyShadowLegacy]

Man, i just can't stop watching your videos...

you are one of the best drummers i've ever seen!

[mdterps1042]

@MyShadowLegacy

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate the kind words!

[MyShadowLegacy]

@mdterps1042

:) it's just the truth, you play drum just perfectly, all your fills & double bass stuff are absolutely clean!!!

it's unbelieveble... Keep drummin' man, you're amazing!

cheer's from italy :D

[pitcrewsk8er2189]

1:10 was the nastiest thing i've witnessed \,,/,

[brutalbob1234]

you still live in MD? ..... Im friends with Matt and some other folks you know... I drum and* I would* def be curious what your practice regimen is like! Killer drumming for sure man! ... correction of the previous, doh.....

[brutalbob1234]

you still live in MD? ..... Im friends with Matt and some other folks you know... I drum and you def be curious what your practice regimen is like! Killer drumming for sure man!

[psychostew911]

You should definitely make some instructional videos dude, you slay!

[rezOnanceUK]

When you do those fills at 5:05, those just single strokes yeh?

[mdterps1042]

@rezOnanceUK

Yep!

[ReeceRAWR]

please actually cover Bleed :D

[H0022]

does anyone know what his splash and small china are?

[MrCeebez]

I just watched this 15 times in a row... seriously. Release the cd already...

[raiotinfamigold]

best drummer on youtube! that's all!

[simonpvo2]

@raiotinfamigold Best drummer on earth...

[NocturnalDrum]

The "Bleed" cameo was a welcome surprise! Solid as usual Alex, you inspire us drummers to refine our talents.

[ChrisFeener]

Dood there's no way you're this good in IRL.

[Drewb18c1]

Do you have any albums? I need to buy this

[Drewb18c1]

Sick stuff...its a great track and its fun to see the drumming behind it

[btownshreds1]

Amazing dude. hit a litttle harder tho

[Budjha]

Why is there a small part of Bleed in it? Is it like serious or a joke? :|

[mdterps1042]

@Budjha

It's a joke.

[Budjha]

@mdterps1042 Ok cool stuff. :) Nice drumming btw, forgot to comment that.

[blushda1223]

Gotta love a lil' Bleed at 4:50

[Roopepe]

Your fucking good drummer!! What pedals you use?

[sohaib785]

4:51 Meshuggah Bleed!!!

[supersayainf5adam23]

You guys honestly need to get that record out! Hahahahaha

[Stjimmy1120]

The chokes at 4:35, fucking godly

[666aznpride666]

wow, awesome song, cant wait to here more

[lucci97]

anything you'd recommend i work on to get my bass so...i don't hit the drum at the same time? like when i get to faster speeds i start hitting the bass at the same time with both feet haha

[TheBigAP13]

@lucci97 I found working on rudiments at a comfortable speed improves your precision on the kick when you start going faster

[lucci97]

@TheBigAP13 alright thanks i'll give it a shot haha

[ALLHOPEISTRUE]

Not only great ,but also beautiful!!

[F990]

Hey man, great vid! This is a silly question, but what kind of shoes are you wearing? I've been thinking about using smaller shoes for drumming. Thanks!

[mdterps1042]

@F990

It's not a silly question, good shoes are definitely important for drumming! They're Puma Speed Cats. They're small, flat, and have a lot of grip. I definitely recommend them

@ALLHOPEISTRUE

Thanks a lot man!

[F990]

@mdterps1042 heh thanks you sir! I also meant to ask, what kind of triggers / trigger module are you using?

[BeeAreWhyAyeEn]

@mdterps1042 I have been looking for a pair of those for the longest time! nowhere near me has them, seeing you play in them inspired me to look for them, puma should sponsor you xD

[luisluvsblastbeats54]

at 4:50 you can hear it sounds like bleed.

[NiM00re]

how the fuck do you manage to keep the entire performance in a single take so clean?! not a SINGLE mistake, nothing even slitely off time. nowhere.

[NiM00re]

ok i have watched all of your videos now. now i'll go and smack my sticks against my head.

[maggotgreece]

wtf? bleed? why?

[mdterps1042]

@evdinga

Thanks a lot man!

@maggotgreece

I don't know, why not?

[maggotgreece]

@mdterps1042 :DDDDDD you're AWSOME man!!!!

[iExisttt]

@maggotgreece why not? fits perfectly as well

[0235681956]

good job, but why you use trigger?

[TaCoMaN300]

2:52 alex's facial expression: BORING!

[evdinga]

Jeeez so many highlights for one song

Hi-hat double strokes @ 1:19-1:21

I'm not even sure whats going on here. Alternating open hi hat and ghost note double strokes? So subtle but sooooo sick @ 3:13-3:16

The cymbal chokes while keeping the same foot pattern @ 4:24-4:30

It's a beautiful thing when creativity and technical ability meet in metal. Keep it up man

[TheEHSDrumline]

may i ask???? what do you use for Resonant heads on your toms and snare?

[mdterps1042]

@TheEHSDrumline

Bottom of the toms are Clear Ambassadors and on the bottom of the snare is a Hazy Ambassador. Hope this helps!

[labigithastaetmeadam]

i was just thinking this guy must be sickest drummer after Travis Orbin, being ambidexterous and his foot work reminds of him. later somebody said that Travis is his drum teacher :) you guys are great

[taterboy311]

this video help's me start my day! ALEX "THE RUDIMENT" RUDINGER!!!! what kind of shoes are those? speed cats?

[mdterps1042]

@taterboy311

Hahaha, thanks man! They are in fact Speed Cats!

[BurnThePope0514]

God damn 2 grand for a snare? That's nuts

[mdterps1042]

@BurnThePope0514

Huh? My snare drum definitely didn't cost two grand. I'm not totally sure what you mean by this

[250bpmshaun]

@mdterps1042 he means he thinks your snare, cost either $2,000, £2,000 or 2,000 euros.

[BurnThePope0514]

@mdterps1042 I was commenting on something another user said. Something about in Norway the snare you use would be around 2,000. I should have made it a little more clear on who I was posting that in response too.

[iplayjacksonguitars]

4:34 amazing sybol stops or whatever you wanna call it. im a guitar player so idk what the drummers call it. but it sounds bad! XD

[MikePostDrums]

@iplayjacksonguitars It's 'cymbal'. Doesn't sound bad to me!

[iplayjacksonguitars]

@MikePostDrums im mean bad as in badass lol but this band needs to be more known cuz this is something i could really get into. especialy live!
