Alex Rudinger - Threat Signal - "Rational Eyes"

[Hillextreme]

Is there a reason for using a 20" bassdrum instead of a 22"??

[Mack101Avery]

ambidextrous yea most drummers are ;)

and hey wicked drumming man... i like your ride fills :)

[MarcAntoineVezina]

are you ambidex or however you spell it

[upwiththewolves]

lush snare man it has a fat yet sharp attack 

[intestinomedicino]

Dude you should really get a better camera for your foot work...a stroboscopic one can maybe capture that speed properly :D

[shamallama424]

that is hands down the cleanest snare i have EVER heard. badass video

[wildanS]

Can you tell us how much time you spend on avarage practicing with power wrist builders?

[laxplayer72]

This is fucking sick, DO SOME DEAD AND DIVINE COVERS!!!!!!

[TheJazzLicks]

im a jazz musician, but man i love watching you play, can you do some more AAL covers!

[zilpearl86]

Inspiration du dernier fear factory ?

[mammallica]

Raunchy... Aren't they from Denmark??:D Denmark FTW

[kylejackson54]

What mics are you using, if you could do a run through of all of them? Thanks

[mdterps1042]

@kylejackson54

Please see the gear tab on my website.

Remove the 'dot' and replace it with a period. Youtube doesn't let you post hyper-links in comments.

[information94]

I like the kick on here more then the newer video

[joer51]

Do you use the standard Demon Drive beaters?

[MrBlue707]

Rational Gaze???

[MusicislifeBR]

Hey, once u posted a link for a transcription in a music sheet in one of your videos, but i'm not finding it anymore. Do you still have it or u really deleted the link? Thank you, rock on.

[mdterps1042]

@MusicislifeBR

Hey man,

I took it down temporarily while I go back through all my videos and upload PDF's for each song. If there's something in particular you want in the meantime though I'd be happy to send it to you.

[MusicislifeBR]

@mdterps1042 Oh, thanks a lot. I'll be looking forward to the PDF's, that would be really nice. Anyway, if you have the transcription of "Face the day" song to send me it would be really nice! If you have it, and if u can send me, my e-mail is ulisses.piassa@gmail.com. Thx a lot, and congratulations for the new TS album.

[MrHellding]

Do a Lamb of god cover

[ChordxClient]

How tall are you?



[mdterps1042]

@ChordxClient

I believe I'm about 5' 10".

[XDariXx]

i love the part after 2:51

sounds amazing...looks amazing :o

[dominiccss]

you have great foot technique

[Omertahun]

This is kinda fairy tale compared to what you do in Ordinance

[jpcavalhieri]

the bass drum sound like a gun shoting xD

[jbnaruto93]

why did you cut your hair?

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

I bet you've never broken a single pair of MS4's hahaha.

[mdterps1042]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls

Actually, I have a bucket a few feet tall and a foot or so wide that I throw my broken sticks into. It's currently overflowing, haha.

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@mdterps1042 Wow, that was from a while ago. I know I ask you a lot of questions but, on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your Carvin d42's in a recording setting?

[mdterps1042]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls

The Carvin's are surprisingly great. I'm not the best at rating recording gear, but Greg has come to prefer them over almost any mid-range tom microphone. Considering the price they can't be beat!

[JayPark240]

Are you just ambidextrous? if not what handedness are you and what side did you start playing on first?

[Elliott626Drummer]

@4Bold i wanna get some after hearing how your stuff sounds like :(!!!! aha

[Elliott626Drummer]

i was against triggers for the longest time but i got explained a while ago that they arent used by lazy drummers who just dont care how their bass drum sounds like through a mic but the soul purpose for triggers is to enable accuracy within music just so its easier to edit and stuff and it provides consistancy

[stump713]

Is that a Dunnett snare? Sounds great!

[mdterps1042]

@stump713

Thanks man! It's actually a Pearl Reference Brass

[skateslave360]

@mdterps1042 14 x 5 or 14 x 6.5??

[mdterps1042]

@skateslave360

14x6.5

[MALSIV]

Hey, I'm just wondering what pedals you use and if you have them loose or tight? Amazing drumming :)

[howycwap]

thank you for being ambidextrous. I can finally watch another drum with the same style/setup as me

[mrBelfegorr]

THIS IS WHAT |\/|ONSTER ENERGY DRINK CAN DO ! :-]

[surrfacing]

u are a fucking champion

[BChiarcos]

Dont know if anyone knows but that debut album was done with a drum program, no acoustic drums recorded! listen carefully.....

[LePelch23]

anyone know why his kicks sound so good?

[JonTheSpeedDemon]

@LePelch23 It's triggered

[bcoklay]

have you ever tried experimenting with a brighter, crisper snare drum tone? It seems like it would cut through the music more. This one still sounds great though

[crunchyjoel]

woo! great drumming. Maryland ftw

[ABRforever]

Alex Rudinger is an amazing drummer !!!

[KnoffMan]

u <3 symmetry

[bradnc1988]

Tops anything Cobus ever did. Keep it up.

[bcoklay]

what size sticks are you using? Because I use 5Bs in church (african-american gospel) and I went through a brand new pair in one service.

[inimicalODDITY]

@bcoklay These are Vic Firth Magnum marching sticks. Much heavier and larger in diameter than 5b's.

[bcoklay]

@inimicalODDITY =O how can you manage not to destroy your heads with those?

[inimicalODDITY]

@bcoklay I own them and use them occasionally when waiting for my preferred stick ( Zildjian Mike Mangini Signature) to arrive in the mail; they haven't really damaged my heads at all and I would say that I am a fairly 'hard hitter.'

[littledevil3964]

@inimicalODDITY he uses the Zildjian Mike Mangini sticks. well thats what he said in a different video anyway.

[inimicalODDITY]

@littledevil3964 Not anymorezzzz.

[MasonBangsDrums]

your drum tone has improved so much from when you first started. Great job man. And having short hair kicks ass eh?

[MusicislifeBR]

Hey man, really great job. I wonder what double bass pedal u're using. Seems a Pearl demon drive because of the direct drive.

[jbguitarking]

hey, does anyone know the tempo of this song? wouldnt mind recording my own guitar over the top of this.

[halfwaythere333]

@jbguitarking there are a ton of tap tempo apps you can get for your computer or smart phone, i tapped out 170 roughly

[jbguitarking]

hey, does anyone know the tempo of this song? wouldnt mind recording my own guitar over the top of this.

[alexaxxem]

god pearl demon drive pedals are so stupid heavy, maybe they were just set up bad when i played them, eh still love my axis.

[Meatlooaf]

I hate you for covering this song this, you don't even give me a fair chance to match this ;( subbed anyway!

[taterboy311]

Hey Alex! saw you got some new recording gear on fb. was this recorded with the new set up?

[hammthepigful]

whose the jack fuck that disliked this?and question whats your spring tension man?

[inimicalODDITY]

@hammthepigful He has mentioned that is maxed out on a previous comment.

[factorcross]

the new drums dream theater !!!! lets go man!

[cardsfanatic]

awesome!

[OTATre]

hey alex. i know nothing about open stance...

does it make anyting easier, or is it just a preference thing?

[ColllldSteeeel]

Absolutely love the floor tom <3

[thechosenoneband]

crazyyyyyy hahahhaha \m/

[MattPlaysDrums187]

YESSSSS!

[CorvetteAustin24]

Awesome stuff man! Love your band, keep up the awesome work.

[mdickey86]

[inimicalODDITY]

Fill at the end was WOW....

[kidR0BOT]

@inimicalODDITY its just 4/2 lol. but clean i give you that.

[inimicalODDITY]

@kidR0BOT All rimshots, brobot; deceptively difficult.

[kidR0BOT]

@inimicalODDITY mmm if your just starting i guess. not hating on him so dont come at me like i am.

[inimicalODDITY]

@kidR0BOT nah, say what you want, man. I know what is and what isn't.

[PayneKrunk]

THE BEEEEEAAAAAARRDDDD

:D

[FaithIsAccidental]

Would love to see you do a metal improv/solo.

[Nissan1973]

Calf muscles of solid GOLD!

[yourdone900]

haha you must love travis orbin. pumas and left sided set up. WOOT

[IAMTHEDUMPTRUCK]

@yourdone900 he took lessons from him

[Cainoish]

The power of the beard!

[BitterSweetFeast]

@Cainoish

this is spartaaa

[MadLikeMercury]

@Cainoish Works for Matt Greiner.

[ProjetoToxico]

Hi Alex , Very Good !

[Kantich]

hey awesome drumming!! i have one question: do you trigger just as an addon for a better cut and click in the mix or do you just tap the skin so that otherwise one could not hear the bassdrum like some black metal drummer :D :D just curious

[Meshuggahnize]

great job alex! are you a mangini's student

[itsmynamedrew]

that is a huge snare haha

[zamnato]

once again your footwork is spot on

When you gonna start doing some of the second albums tracks? :P

[ChrisFeener]

@zamnato Search Alex Rudinger - Beyond Recognition

[jahkoz]

This man is a beast, flawless technique...

[lewisniven]

that bass drum sounds savage.

[GladFyr41]

Awesome T-shirt! Raunchy rules, Danish metal ftw!

And fucking sick drumming as well!

[BloodyHawk39]

This guy could definitely play songs from Animals as Leaders and Periphery. He's got his timing locked down to a millisecond!

[EatSleepGrow]

@BloodyHawk39 No shit?

[stolmasa]

@BloodyHawk39 He kinda does, check his other videos, they are totally mad. He's got some Animals as Leaders songs covered if i'm not mistaken and also some from Haunted Shores, which I find out about through his channel btw :)

[shootsbraw]

you are almost better than a drum machine :P

[mutinypunisher666]

Wish my left foot was as strong as yours! Great job.

[ApplySomePressure54]

Hot damn that is one nice sounding snare.

What kind is it? It sounds wicked boss.

[stolmasa]

I love the sound of that bass drum. I'm guessing you have it rigged to a trigger, but if it's the sound recorded through a microphone, then that's one hell of a mic.

[dildokopf666]

@stolmasa Look into the footcam window. Can you also see such a little red thing on the BD? ^^

[stolmasa]

@dildokopf666 Oh yeah! Didn't notice that :D

[IAMTHEDUMPTRUCK]

@stolmasa id say the trigger on his bass drum gives it away. Oh yeah and the module right next to him

[RoiKaleya]

@stolmasa triggered with Ddrum 4

[TheLastJrummer]

@stolmasa I believe he's said before that it's triggered and run through a Ddrum4SE drum module... Unless it's changed since then. I'm pretty sure you can see the trigger on the top left of the kick, though.

[AROBcyprus]

@stolmasa its def triggered just cuz I can see the ddrum acoustic pro trigger in the foot cam

[jsusfreak13]

@AROBcyprus sounds like a combination of an actual mic and the trigger for more definition.

[Truewarriorsofmetal]

Amazing foot work. The song is just not mine.

[JooshyJoosh93]

how do u like the demon drives?

[aduyon]

awesome

[Maitzeth]

First! haha

>,< fucking sick dude, keep it brutal \m/
