I mean kinda? If you talk to Alex he says he had a few lessons from him and that he has no clue why that rumor is so far spread. He has posted multiple comments in response to that over the years. He himself does not consider himself a "student" of Travis's. Technically yeah, because he did have a handful of lessons by Travis, but if ole' Rudi himself doesn't consider himself a "student" of Travis not sure I would either. Cheers!

You do know the whole drum part was composed by Faceless original drummer Lyle Cooper, right? Lyle is the genius behind that drumming, not Alex.

Lyle is a very sublime drummer between his talent and his effort. He seems so relaxed comparatively, but Alex's playing is so damn clean and even between strokes. Part of that is his attention to his production. Love them both.

Yes we are not f*cking stupid... we know that another person may have arranged the drums for this song... and yes I very much appreciate Kyle as a drummer too.. You also know right that Alex played live with this band?? And played all these songs in a live environment? Basically yes,,,, we know

That guy Alex Rudinger is not only very technically skilled, but also very musical. Even in weird time signatures he manages to keep a nice groove and overall feel to a song.

you should react to Hannes Grossmann playing a Blotted Science song.

@@acidrain812 Yeah, he's an amazing drummer, but he's not an extreme metal drummer. He can play the gig, but not like Hannes for instance and he adapted and changed a lot of parts that were great in the album. He is friends with Muhammed, so I guess that's why he got the temporary gig. The Aristocrats showcase his skill and musicality a lot more, since he writes songs as well. To me that's where Marco is right at home.

Love watching you jam out to some of my favorite metal bands!

Woohoo Bobby made the list!! No one else like him 👌

You should try to interview or talk to some of these guys.

Glad you discovered Alex. He's a great drummer and very kind guy. Thanks for showing him off to the world.

Fast becoming one of my favourite channels. Keep 'em coming boss.

He is so clean and precise. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Yes! Dominator is a beast live, thanks for letting us know about upcoming vids Keep doing what you do...cheers from Canada!

Thank you so much for giving a reaction to Alex Rudinger. I discovered him for myself a few years ago on KZread performing a few covers of some Sikth songs, and he absolutely nailed them. Anything he does is incredible and so well-played. Anyway, keep up the good work; I enjoy your videos and commentary. Alex

Finally! Ive been waiting for this!

Definitely one of my favorite drummers these days. He can play such massive variety of stuff.

@@jonathanhenderson9422 I actually think the material post Everything Is Fire is drum wise when Jamie really found his own. Destroyers being his more atmosoheric heavy work. Not that EIF isnt amazing. He just began to really trascend from then on! Relapse records have a pretty great live clip of him doing Dead Oceans from 2017 I think? Otherwise there are the studio montage clips? My fave song is cold becoming but I know Garret seems to want to watch videos with clearer audio vs raw camera. Agree on all of what you've said though.

@@TheTrveMothlord I think a big part of why I love EIF is simply that that was the first Ulcerate I heard that blew my mind. I do agree Jamie has gotten even better since then, but picking a single song to recommend is tough! I'm trying to find one that has a good mix of his insane technique/speed, but also a good amount of his slower, jazzier/fusion-esque playing where he does a lot of creative cymbal work. I'll go give Dead Oceans another listen. I don't want to do the studio montage clips because I think Garrett appreciates hearing live performances, and the studio stuff being montages of different songs is even more discombobulating than hearing a single song!

probably watched this video at least 20 times myself, machine of a man

Back to watch again one year later. Happy Thanksgiving 2020!

alex is prob one of my top 3 favorite drummers. so clean. amazing skill

Excited to see the Bobby reaction. That guy is on another level of musicianship.

On point selection as always

Hes becoming a metal head, we've gotta get this guy to check out Death

Alex Rudinger and Hannes Grossmann are two of my favorites. Alex plays with sheet music up in front of him. Straight sight reads while drumming!

Yess! One of my favourite playthroughs ever!

Thank you for the vid...

ive been a huge faceless fan since i found them. to see your face when he does the cymbal mutes just like i did....priceless. lol

Your reactions are awesome haha

"this is like fusion" welcome to the world of tech death :D

Wow, thank you for introducing me to this song.

Anything Alex did with conquering dystopia is awesome! Also love his new stuff with whitechapel now that he's touring with them. And the playthrough of 22 faces by periphery he did. All solid tracks 💪

This band is so good. Saw them live and flawless. They did a few songs with a jazz saxophonist, that was amazing.

Hey man I love watching these! Especially when things are just so crazy you start to feel broken cause I feel the same way a lot of the time hahaha sometimes these videos are humbling. Cheers! Would love to see some older Dillinger Escape Plan or even a quick converge drum cam video!

Chris Turner I'm stoked for that one!!! Keep this up man super entertaining!

Good to hear that Alex will be back! You definitely should watch more of his stuff. Maybe try "Cause For Concern" or "Gravity And Friction" next. They really showcase more of his groove abilities and not only his amazing blast beats.

WOW this guys amazing!!!! 🤗 Im totally going to go sub to his channel right now! Thank you for introducing me to such a killer player 😁

I’ve watched 3 of this today and you’ve referenced Letterkenny and OSW review. Fantastic. Subbed

Thanks for reacting to Alex, I’d love to see you react some stuff he wrote. This is basically a cover he did when he toured with the Faceless

You're the dogman!! I KNEW I recognized that distinctive voice from somewhere,, but when you said "Shall we?", that was it!

This is pretty dope, gonna look up this band in a bit

Chason Westmoreland! Chason was the touring drummer for The Faceless when I saw them and he blew me away.

Alex is One of the best modern drummers. Super tight, in most other bands were he wrote the drum parts his accents and hit placements are on point.

Happy Thanksgiving! Glad to finally see Alex make an appearance. And it’s impressive he can play these covers, but his real genius shows in his originals with Good Tiger - I think you’d find that more impressive as a fellow drummer. The video for 67’ Pontiac Firebird would really do it for you!
