[@66Samus]

Crushed it!! 22/10 🙌

[@Syphon_Drummer]

Ohhh yuuurrrr

[@tsbdgaming69s96]

Oh yurrrrr we love specific numbers m’kay

[@saiyansatan]

Ohh yurr! Alex always delivers!

[@eLiAs-ij1je]

Yuuuuuuur

[@joepanama9733]

So sick, makes you appreciate what a monster Mario Duplantier is too.

[@lolrofllmaomaster]

Mario Duplantier I think is more so a beast if not a monster.

[@cosmokramer1213]

There should be no doubt at this point in time of Mario's capability lol. Don't think I've heard him mess up even once either. Absolute monster. Alex is great too

[@TheAlex4019]

I saw him live 3 times and once he broke his cymbal. To this day, I wonder how his wood sticks won against steal 😂

[@olliemedsy]

​@@TheAlex4019breaking cymbals is a thing

[@HansSchickelgruber]

@@TheAlex4019 Cymbals are not made from steel but from bronze, and they break quite frequently if you play live a lot.

[@aaronhunter837]

I see Alex Rudinger and Gojira... I click and like.

[@Big_Yum]

man that double bass kit fucks

[@tanosdrums]

Need more Gojira covers after this!!

[@mpzi]

Heaviest matter of the universe please

[@Jason.odrums]

Now lets see Esoteric Surgery 😈

[@Shane-zo4mg]

How is it humanly possible to be THIS locked in? You're the definition of a powerhouse.

[@Toxoplasmosis679]

Chaosphere pfp? Hell yeah

[@joshforeman1648]

Please cover Esoteric Surgery. It’s their most underrated track in my opinion and the drumming is absolutely insane.

[@Dreathy]

The ultimate drumming Chad.

[@DreadfulDrummer]

2:40 • I like how the camera auto-focuses on the bell when it gets hit. Thanks for using that shot, it's great

[@christianmengel9407]

Kevin is a genius guitar player and did an awesome job, even if this was probably super easy for him!

[@-xHALx-]

Brass snare looks and sounds insane! Great song, perfect execution, awesome as always!

[@vermilionpill6916]

He should have gotten a Savage Custom cast bronze instead. Then he would have had the option of an internal tone control knob so he would never have to use moon gels.

[@JD-sc7bd]

​@@vermilionpill6916😂 he could make a garbge can sound good bruh

[@vermilionpill6916]

omfg!!!!

[@TM-fr7gh]

Beautiful set up

[@Mth482]

Por mais que o tempo passe você ainda continua quebrando tudo! Se você fosse o novo baterista do Slipknot, o legado do Joey Jordison estaria sendo muito bem representado! (lute para traduzir gringo

[@josebuzani2066]

What the hell did I just watched??? So clean!

[@PrimoSchnevi]

nice job also by Kevin

[@smeemusic]

Yes sir!!!!!!!

[@VentoRdrummeR]

Your upper body posture in the fast double bass parts shows how refined a drummer you are.

[@shane_058]

Man Alex just as usual, popping up randomly and dropping some of the hardest drumming in the business 🔥🔥

[@guitearist]

Monster cover of a monster song. Power and precision for days. Fkn love Alex and Mario.

[@cecildungaroogoldenapple4741]

You’re a huge inspiration to all of us metal drummers Rudy!!!!

[@Lazaran]

Insane. This is what I am practising towards, hoping to be able to play this one day. Definitely in my top 3 gojira songs. Saw them play this live last summer and man it was a blast.

[@Coastfog]

Keep at it, you *can* get there, and even if you don't, you'll pick up incredible stuff along the way. Alex is one of my major inspirations to get *good* good, and while I'm still magnitudes away from his level, I couldn't be happier with how my playing has developed. One day, I wanna play The Cull, and I know I'll get there, I dgaf how long it takes.

[@into_the_void]

This and where dragons dwell are my favourite

[@motopolak]

@@Coastfog Covering any Intronaut song is a bucket list item for me lol. I'd probably pick something from The Direction of Last Things. I'm pretty good with polyrhythms and odd meters but some of Danny Walker's drum parts are nuts. Also a long way away from being consistent! Like you said, we will get there one day.

[@oierbas1293]

Pls Alex dont stop makeing content. You do so great work mate!!

[@SillyBoydo]

2:30 I felt that

[@oleknowakmusic]

This is such a great song, one of my favorite from Gojira's older albums.

[@Ollie_King]

Wow, flawless! 🤟

[@Victorbatera15]

That snare is sounding amazing bro, nice video 🤘

[@mpzi]

angelic

[@asidfishy]

Ive been watching your stuff for over ten years now man you're all ways a source of inspiration! Great video mang!

[@Catch3318]

Dude! It would be amazing to see you play To Sirius. Underrated track and drum composition.

[@Lenny-Mozes]

I really wanna see you leading a kick ass metal band one day Alex, love you!

[@richarddantz4256]

Every one of his hits are so deliberate its almost mechanical!

[@rebelduck9077]

My gawd, the insane intensity of the double pedals in this track. 😅😅😅 nicely done

[@LordAlwyn]

Not only a sick cover but bravo on the production all around. Tons of work and hours go behind creating this video. To learning the song, creating the tempo map, getting super talented friends to learn/record the guitars and bass. To then, record the video and audio. Have the audio mixed and edit said video. Great work!

[@Laaaaaaaaaaaaaarsouille]

You nailed it, amazing job !

[@saiyansatan]

This was probably album of the year for me

[@GODElRigna]

Tight, Concise, Feel, Power, Tone. Yes. Its all there. Well done.

[@givemeajackson]

kevin's right hand is INSANE!!! could not be tighter

[@zach_mizzi]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick 🤘🤘🤘

[@ALLforROME]

Right on dude

[@embracehorizons]

That bell bronze is fuckin beautiful. Masterful cover.

[@FLOURISHFAMILYENT]

My favorite gojira song of all time 😄

[@Big_Yum]

all brass snare 🤤

[@warrenoids]

It's bronze actually (yes 🤓 moment i know)

[@internex4139]

​@@warrenoidsit's actually dirt

[@mike0near]

This man is so tight. I always watch when a new video is up. Such a beast of a cover.

[@jason1888]

AWWSOME!!! Alex is amazing!

[@tank5183]

Perfect fix for today as i was just listening to Art of Dying then this popped up solid Alex smashed it

[@scottyhorey9128]

Great performance, and great production, Rudi! Cheers from Delaware.

[@brandonfarrerabuenrostro7380]

It is always a pleasure to see and hear covers like this one Something of Terra Incognita could be insane with RUDY style!!! 🤟

[@boringuserhandle]

Snare sounds absolutely amazing

[@mattsweeney9273]

Seen them recently with mastodon in Syracuse. So loud but sounded perfect. This brings back the memories. You're a killer

[@darkoneronn]

So sick man ! Very great sound !! You can't be closer to the album version. Keep up the good work

[@mikelpradet6670]

Amazing cover !!!! love it so much ! thank you Alex :)

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

That was sick, man. Nice job! @2:20 💪💪

[@baalgrath7933]

One thing I love about your covers is there is no bullshit: you play it as is and even add affectation where needed. I don't remember those snare rolls during the blast part for instance, that's gotta be your own twist and I love that. Keep doing you man. Awesome job

[@steve_matin]

Nah they're there all right

[@michaelscoggin8835]

Thank you for doing this!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@diemcarl5546]

I never enjoyed Gojira except one song, but despite of that I always knew their drummer (and the rest of the band) is nuts!! Highly skilled I mean. And always a massive respect and love to Rüdi 🤘🤘 love what u do, man

[@motopolak]

I know people who are kinda in the same boat, but they enjoy "Magma" a lot. Fairly mellow album with a lot of clean vocals compared to the rest of their heavier discography (while still maintaining excellent groove feeling).

[@rabbitz7740]

The kit matches Mario's setup... Nice. Great job dude!

[@AntiBuzz]

Nice work ! First time seeing someone play the blast beat correctly, even Mario simplify this part.

[@orelaroki]

So sick dude, would like to see the art of dying next, also we need you hopping with keith for another conquering dystopia album!

[@mygamesrock]

Simply insane

[@techtiel]

My God.. Thats insane! And what an amazing snare 🤘🏽

Dude that snare sound is LIFE

[@DarthWinterMadness]

That song is such a banger, thanks as usual you performed it like a boss. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@markytear]

Absolutely amazing man!!!!

[@lastditch727]

This is an immense effort to cover this song dude. Much respect!

[@sf1tzp]

BANGER

[@Alexb53.]

thank you alex! this made me want to hop on my kit and play.

[@caladan_brewed]

This is sick. I know fuckall about playing drums but I feel like you hit harder than average, even for a metal drummer, and I feel like that's why I dig this so much. 🤘

[@cellcerocreates]

Good stuff! Much love man!

[@Derrick3150]

Amazing as always 👍🏿

[@quadblaster69420]

This song is so much fun to play. Mario writes great parts. Yama's Messengers is another fun one to play. Great job bro!
