Alex Rudinger of The Faceless playing Xenochrist REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!! 

Funny Fact: This Video is 7 Years old and he only gotten better and thats even crazy. One of the nicest Guys you will ever meet! Alex Rüdinger is a beast!

For me Rudinger is one of the best metal drummers out there. He's got unreal technique and time and always spot on clean.

WHEN A DRUMMER GETS THAT "STINKFACE" YOU KNOW THEY'RE FEELING IT..AND YES IM A DRUMMER..PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST...

This man is unbelievable the first time I had seen this I was blown away. He is doing multiple things at the same time. Definitely watch it more than 1 time and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Rudinger is an absolute beast and highly sought after in tech death circles. I saw him live with the HAARP machine (UK) and The Faceless. The Faceless is one of my favorite death metal bands. Their first two albums (Akeldama and Planetary Duality) are among the best metal albums of their era. Highly recommend.

*Holy crap!!!* I have never seen such clean playing at that speed. Look at his technique! What a machine, this is insane, reminds me of Derrick Roddy 🤘

Hannes Grossmann - Alter Magnitudes. Speed and precision.

"Slaughter to prevail - DEMOLISHER drum playthrough" is a top notch, high quality playthrough. Great stuff that one.

This is a classic video, glad you boys got around to it. If you fancy another drum playthrough video I gotta reccomend Anthony Barone - Underneath A Sullen Moon OR Rise Of The Fearmonger, both good videos. Ps, this Xenochrist playthrough IS much more technically impressive from a drummers standpoint, but CCrusher is much more of a physical feat if that makes sense. (Regardless of triggers)

this is a cover, the best drum cover ever

dude.. you guys are the best man..... So open minded to everything and so chill.. edit: Alex rudinger is my favorite drummer. check out ' the haarp machine ' if you get a chance. Its the same drummer.

Thanks for noticing the sick guitars. You guys are the best. The original drummer was Lyle Cooper. A legend,; more like underrated legend.

The problem with that Aaron kitcher video is that it was faked. Some parts were speed up and some parts were overdubbed mainly because Aaron programmes the drums for his albums. Triggers are not the problem; in fact , Alex's drums are triggered. Check out Spencer prewett's insane drum play through for something like C*ntcrusher but more real

Look how young he is.! Capturing the fucking moment! Thank you for this.

One of my favourite drummers! So happy you've reacted to one of his videos! He's done work with Whitechapel too, toured with them in the recent past before Covid happened. Matt Greiner and Matt Halpern are ones you should check out too!

To this day, this remains one of the best drum covers if not the best I've seen

I’m so happy you guys did this gem! The faceless is one of my favorite bands, they do such a great job incorporating medlody while at the same time having a grueling death metal sound. I’d recommend hearing the song All Dark Graves by them

This man is a drumming Cyborg… wow!

Im a drummer ....get yourselves a kit each it's the best therapy ever! 🤘🤘🤘 I'm also an infant annihilator fan because of Aaron's technical abilities. This guy is great, his jazzy beats and cymbal work are brilliant no doubt, his bouble bass is fast and impressive, however, Aaron's speed, precision, off beats and timing are truelly magnificent especially in the breakdowns, truelly nasty stuff and for me the best drummer around by far. Love your videos guys keep them going! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😡

It is common in metal that the kick drum is triggered. It’s important for that to be heard and in a live setting, the sound would be consistent. Triggering the toms or snare is debatable. Playing fast, intense, intricate drums over bombastic guitars and bass is challenging for the drummer to be audible. Even if you barely hit the drum depending on the sensitivity setting, the trigger will activate giving a full sound. I can see why that could be argued as cheating.

I can play this song on guitar and it's stuck in my head all the time. Love playing the solo.

Alex Rudinger is a beast and the bands he has played for proves it. You should react to some of his other bands Conquering Dystopia - Autarch or Destroyer of Dreams (with Jeff Loomis on guitar) The HAARP Machine - Esoteric Agenda Threat Signal - Through My Eyes

You guys should check out one of Matt Halpern's (The drummer for Periphery) drum videos, he's pretty damn talented too and very impressive to watch

I was watching the whole time thinking dude looked just like Aaron Paul, then you went and said it 😋

I love it LOL it don't matter you can't do it that was awesome

In the vein of The Faceless and extreme metal drumming, might I suggest checking out Lord Marco's yt channel. Any of the Hunhau Mitnal stuff will melt your face clean off. Like, if you think Aaron's gravity blasts are impressive... Marco must be a literal cyborg or something

I beg of you guys to do anything from allegaeon! They're a absoloute powerhouse with amazing musicians

My fav thing with the original video is that he had to clarify that he wasn’t wearing a shirt with Hitler on

This is way more impressive. Alex is an absolute monster. Alex Rudinger, Matt Gartska (Animals As Leaders), Baard Kolstad (Leprous), Danny Carey (Tool), and Matt Halpern (Periphery) are probably the best Progressive Metal drummers out there. There are lots of great drummer in the genre, but the work that these 5 guys do are just magic to me.

"You couldn't do it". Neither can Aaron which is why everyone slags him off.

This timing is crazy

The Faceless - Digging the Grave would definitely be an interesting one

Trust me when I say this drumming is in the top 1% of the greatest ever performances ever! ps. I am a drummer.

Michael Keane is a great guitarist. Drummer is pretty good. Check out Mark Arrington from Jeff Loomis. Tragedy and Harmony. Killer drum riffs.

Do yourselves a favour, next drum playthrough has to be Matt 'The Living Rudiment' Garstka playing 'Arithmophobia'. Notice the patterns and time signatures...if you can... Matt is the greatest drummer imo.

Ok, time to unleash "Bleed" by Meshuggah.. Live drum cam. Enjoy.

Allegaeon - Proponent for Sentience III-The Extermination

Más rápidos, más precisos, más técnicos, pero nunca habrá como el original. Lyle Cooper fue quien le dio vida a los mejores temas de The Faceless y eso lo deja un lugar más privilegiado. Buen cover de batería.

next archspire's spencer prewett drum playthrough,please.

I would say they're both equally impressive, just in different ways. Aaron is just INSANE when it comes to speed and precision but Alex got those FAT grooves along with technicality and major influence from different genres.

There is a really awesome drum playthrough for Devin Townsend - Hear Me if you want to check it out :)

Hey guys.. a recommendation for ya . David Diepold .. Cattle decapitation or Cryptopsy ( draft dodgers) covers.

Now you gotta do Alex Rudinger - Where are the Birds drum playthrough

Saw him live last year with Whitechapel one of the last live concerts I seen great live player

Hate how Lyle Cooper, the original drummer who actually wrote this piece of music is never acknowledged for it. Rudinger gets all the praise and all he's doing is covering Cooper.

Hell yeah I just found this drum play through not that long ago so it’s great you guys are checking it out. But now that we’re in this area you HAVE to check out 2 different Meshuggah drum play throughs...Bleed and Clockworks! Bleed - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bAJ1WTGNISk.html Clockworks - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axGn6qeJHcM.html

My favorit Alex rudinger 😍

100% more impressive, Rudi is a god on the drums! Best on the planet end of.

John......Longstreth.....

Nice one! Next do Mgła-Exercises in Futility V Drum cam!!

Nils Dominator from Dark Funeral is fast as fuck. Check out his live show footagw

Please check out Spite - Kill or be killed or Morning Sting.

Would love to see your reaction to Tool Pneuma. Danny Carey's live drum cam. It's insane.

Alex Rudinger is 10 times the drummer than cuntcrushers performance. Alex is the most dedicated and tasteful drummer Ive ever heard. He is evolution at its best. Another you should check out is Sebastian Lancer, he is an extreme metal drummer that has the know how to play jass, rock, metal you name it n those two practice more than 10 hr days, so check both drummers out n you can thank me later. There are soooo many awesome drummers out there you just have to look around for them. "EL ESTEPARIO IS another.

This is definitely way more impressive

Nice

Darkside Mgla cymbol master

Please react to ELOY CASAGRANDE - “People=Shit” (Slipknot cover)

React to *Locust Star* by *Neurosis.* Such an atmospheric, dark and brutally heavy song.

More bbox pls thats so sick

Triggering isn't necessarily the problem with Aaron. The problem is that some of it is faked but for most to SEE it would be hard, mainly due to some of the speed of it. But there's one video in particular, if you slow it down just a bit, you can see that he doesn't have any consistency. A drummer reacted to a particular video from Aaron and quickly noticed that in some of the insane speedy double kicks that his feet actually began to hit at the same time instead of alternating, the beaters on the drum showed this too. But in the audio, it was still playing consistent single strokes. So in other words, it was... Basically faked. As far as his drums being triggered. What could be called for as cheating, is that more than likely at those ridiculous speeds, he probably doesn't have much power behind each hit. So, in theory, if he didn't have those triggers, those blasts on the kick drum would sound more like fingers tapping on a table. Triggers bring uniform volume through a speaker, which most drummers in a live setting need or even in a recording. They aren't cheating, but they CAN make a less than drummer sound better than they are.

Please react to Normani - Best Dancing Moments (UPDATED) by yuhmani.

Danny Carey Tool pnuema drum cam

Definitely more impressive than IA

Alex is elite. Aaron has nothing on his playing. Travis Orbin taught Alex Rudinger if you're interested in someone even more crazy haha.

Danny Carey drum to Pneuma.

React to Short Fused by Traitors!!!

Easy Peasy.

You talked about triggers not sounding organic... use a trigger to open a gate for a mic!

Aaron is good, but he didn’t do it in one take like Alex.

If you know anything about drumming, you realize you just watched a non human playing.
