Alex Rudinger - KATATONIA - "CONSTERNATION" (ft. Kevin Heiderich & Declan White)

[@LotusEater14]

Glad to see Katatonia getting some love

[@SrG1K-UA]

OMG!!! KATATONIA!!!

[@patrikkarlsson9463]

Very cool to see Katatonia get covered, the drumming on the modern era records (I personally count this as the first of the modern era) is insanely solid

[@bertrandmichotte1501]

Such a well-written drum part. Thanks for bringing this song back.

[@headknocker2020]

Would love to see some newer Katatonia covers, Fall of Hearts has some of my favorite drum parts like Night Subscriber and Serac.

[@vinniecharity]

Passer would be a perfect cover for Rudinger too, the best double kicks of any Katatonia song…

[@SGIABC]

This was one of the bands on my list that I thought I'd never see Alex cover. Katatonia is so underrated! Love the atmosphere their music brings.

[@Stefanoski88]

Watching him play makes me feel the same way when I clean my room, i feel very special and nice. So clean Alex!

[@WarunkiMedia]

Did you guys add that bridge?? Nice work!!! Daniel was always an underrated drummer. Looooooove Katatonia 🖤

[@PurpleDreki]

One of the best drummers on the planet! Always top-notch work! Nice accents with the ghost notes.

[@revedepapillon5010]

Beautiful!!! I've been waiting for a Katatonia cover from you for so long ! I knew your energy, power, precision and groove would match perfectly with their drumming style! Thank you Alex:)

[@lupuslogos2018]

Loved this. Katatonia's percussive composition is always so interesting and engaging to me. The writing is so dynamic and built around the music; it's so brilliantly accomplished that everything feels effectively accented. Every ghost note on the snare, even the SILENCE in between things feels like a part of the music, and that's something that few can accomplish on any instrument. And particularly the drums. Hrvrd's drummer wrote that way. They're a rare breed. Anyway, you absolutely killed this and it looked like you had a blast doing it. Thanks for the content!

[@MusaTariq25]

YOO this is one of my favorite Katatonia songs, what an unexpected cover! This song is so damn heavy and Daniel Liljekvist’s drumming is really cool. Thanks for this 🔥

[@megarustog]

The first katatonia track that comes to mind for me for drumming is "The Longest Year" off of Night is the New Day. There's this cymbal crash in the chorus that elevates the whole thing for me. Love me some Katatonia! This track has a lot of energy though and is probably a lot more interesting to watch.

[@revedepapillon5010]

true ! i do agree! beautiful song;)

[@wildstyle3743]

Daniel Liljekvist criminally underrated, such cool patterns over the years

[@AyushBahuguna]

one of the few drummers i describe as 'musical', his parts may not be the most flashy but they are always the perfect backbone for their songs

[@whatcanibreakdrums]

My man Alex doesn't get enough credit for how hard he hits 💪

[@Erix77]

Goddamnit, that is some seriously tight and precise drumming😳

[@kellybanks804]

Love you for giving Katatonia some love! Sick cover dude!

[@countskippy]

Man, I don't know how I missed this cover for a couple months, but this was awesome. This album was, and still is, a consistent listen for me. I spent a lot of time cutting chops to these songs.

[@K707OR30]

Thanks for giving some love to Katatonia. Probably my favorite band ever!

[@Rus_Di]

Autolike for Katatonia, good performance, sound is good 👍

[@BeatsAndMeats]

Props to Declan for making the best bell bronze snares around.

[@TeaParty4Thugs]

That was absolutely sick! It warms my heart to see the love for Katatonia in the comments, they've been one of my favorites for a while. Thanks for leaving the vocals in too.

[@domantasl]

Oh man, I remember listening to The Great Cold Distance and Night Is The New Day and being blown away by the drumming. So understated a lot of the time, seemingly simple... and then out comes some fill that is just so original. Honestly, some of the most musical drum fills I've EVER heard. Cool seeing you cover it

[@tjsmith7799]

This whole album is a masterpiece The great cold distance

[@danielliljekvist3847]

Dude! 👌

[@francispradet987]

Hey Alex!! I think THE Daniel is propping up your Katatonia's cover:) Nice !! PS: Dear Daniel the 1st, you are a phenomenal drummer, thank you for your contribution to the world of metal and music in general!!

[@MWR3]

Fire!!! Long time my favorite katatonia album.. love that you covered this :) perfectly executed as always 🔥

[@GhostOvPerdition]

This was an absolutely incredible cover from the greatest bands walking this earth. The Great Cold Distance is an absolute classic and masterpiece in every sense of the word. I would love to see you cover more Katatonia songs and I think Forsaker would be the perfect next in line 🤘

[@baedrummer]

Siiiiiiiccckk!

[@JayKayProductions]

WOW - Great choice for a song cover! July next???? :D :D :D

[@gSWG3R]

Its so funny seeing how many of us discovered Katatonia through this album 😂. It's an absolute progressive/goth/doom metal masterpiece. This album is the embodiment of what it means to 'age like a fine wine,' it gets better and better with each listen, and you slowly begin to realise how well composed each song is. They're restrained when they need to be, they show their technical prowess when appropriate, and their songs are just so musical.. a hard skill to master. Musicality requires maturity and extensive experience with your instrument, as well as being cognisant of the contributions of everyone else in the band to 'play to the song,' instead of trying to show off... something Katatonia do SO well. As a drummer, myself, I love to listen to Katatonia's drum parts. Leaders, In The White, Increase, and The Itch are massive favourites of mine. Their newer stuff still has that edge, also. Fuck yeah dude, more Katatonia covers please 😁. Love

[@charlesblerzbo1616]

Totally agree

[@AmrddH]

YES!!!! I love this band, I love this album, I love this song, and I love your playing. Everything about this is great

[@DahakaCL]

KZbin link to Kevin's channel is broken, 404 error Alex!. Great Cover, always on point, every fucking song you cover is perfection. Katatonia and Consternation was the intro for me to many other good bands like Riverside, Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation and Indukti!. Regards from Chile buddy!.

[@Okjustwhy]

Dude is just consistent

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Kewl song, never saw you play a small kit like this

[@AdamSoucyDrums]

Dude I didn’t know you were into Katatonia!! This is SICK

[@erikl6988]

Great choice! Love Katatonia. Great Cold Distance is a classic

[@TheAffeMaria]

Godly performance as always ;)

[@foodforthegods]

Dare say I like this mix more than the original, that bass is crispy! Very nice playing, can tell you love the song! A little beacon of light in a murky sea of Tool covers 😬

[@DruNature]

Alex you're amazing, Katatonia is amazing! It's wonderful to hear how such a tasteful drum composition accentuates a well written song with virtually no frills or showing off, conveying such power and focus!! Truly a song to be inspired by, love it!

[@MarStacey]

Aw what a great throwback! Such an incredible band. Well done

[@ALLforROME]

I NEED THAT SNARE IN MY LIFE!!

[@Okjustwhy]

I’m guessing they run around $2,000 each

[@blaizecollard]

Couldn’t have said it better myself 😂 perfect outro. Love Katatonia so much. Killer 🤘🏼

[@colevincent8563]

I love how Alex pretends to almost fall over with that last cymbal catch. It actually goes hand in hand with the song content. Will we be seeing you in movies Alex?

[@ArronLukeMusic]

such a banging song and such a clean cover! love it

[@ryanstarck7697]

Dude!!! Nobody covers Katatonia!! One of my favorite all time bands and songs as well. Thank you for doing this one!!!

[@vagner_tenzen]

KRL!!! minha música preferida deles!!! foda demais!!!

[@Michael_Michaels]

Man! This was the song that introduced Katatonia to me! This magnificent band!! And to watch you do a drum cover is just so surprising to me!! Excellent!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@RickHardcore]

Amazing drums alex!!

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Awesome and damn! I never actually listened to Katatonia even though I'd heard of them. Great song, might have to check out more.

[@soderlind81]

Great sound! Flawless work! "The Great Cold Distance" is a epic album.

[@hailstonedrums]

So sick man!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@lastditch727]

Wow, awesome grooves, I gotta check these guy out.

[@MrPortnoy247]

Damn I love that album and this song. Great cover. Such an underappreciated band. Probably my favorite album by these guys too. Maybe it's partly because it was the first one I bought.

[@Cicada4WD]

Wow that's cool as. Creative overload 😮

[@MatthewStout]

Heck yeah man, my steering wheel and desk from 2007 took a beating from this album. The way you separate some things is wild.

[@emergentform1188]

Legend has it that Alex moonlights as a dragon slayer. I believe it.

[@GreenCthulhu]

Love that kit and sound! keep going!

[@revb14n]

Beautiful

[@deanturner7630]

Best album they ever released. Hell YES

[@kissaguitar]

Perfection

[@tobiaswinter1358]

Great song, beautiful kit!

[@TheJoshuaborden]

Absolutely amazing album!!!

[@Chimaira555]

Amazing, Katatonia rip, since you are looking for new sticks to play have you tried any of the Wincent stuff? i've been on the pro-mark train but have been really impressed with WIncent lately, Tomas Haake sig is tasty!

[@mathausnascimento4750]

set lindo!

[@johnsilver4990]

GOATed album

[@titanmoruma5834]

Awesome! I love The Great Cold Distance album soo much! i Still watch your Threat Signal videos \m/ Would love to see some Type O Negative songs \m/

[@Commissar]

YES!

[@markmullen1852]

For YEARS I've been saying that the best things out of Maryand are crabcakes and Clutch. I was wrong. It's crabcakes, Clutch and Alex.

[@WehlerDealer]

Katatonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bork750]

I fucking love KATATONIA. Fantastic cover

[@SuidAkrA1]

Yaaay

[@Nefville]

I didn't see "cover" in the title and so I thought it was a playthrough and I was thinking _man this really sounds familiar..._ PS hey you know if we're doing this era, how about Fear Factory? Crazy kick patterns with FF. Always a challenge.

[@bjartursmundsson737]

Fucking badass cover! And thank you for reminding how good The great cold distance is!

[@Chillidog650]

🤘😎🤘

[@Michael_Michaels]

May I suggest Soil's Song? Some pretty amazing tempos the song has!

[@beetlejews]

Hey why do you sometimes play open then sometimes cross handed? It’s amazing but just curious

[@josemoyan5792]

🥁🔥♥️💯🌟✨

[@MarcusAssarsjö]

Would love to see something progressive with a big Mike Portnoy kit and alex behind it! That would be really cool! Go for it!!!! :-)

[@junyorff12]

PLEASE!!!!! PLAY DARK TRANQUILY - UNFORGIVABLE 🙌🙌🙌

[@OlmezDrums]

I think he is going to renovate his studio soon. Over the years many things changed, now the room is next I sense.

[@MisaUlises87]

BRO YOU ARE AWSM. WE NEED YOU TO PLAY ANY BLOTTED SCIENCE COVER. Please please. It would be amazing

[@zel_csx]

Dissolving Bonds is next?

[@Newschoolcovers]

How do you manage to make your snare sound so punchy on top (lots of 8khz boosted) without the hihat bleed becoming too strong? Do you use a clipper on the snare to get the snap that way?

[@scourproductions5309]

FUCK YEAH

[@FKJBSDK]

That Chinese sounds so delicious.

[@AyushBahuguna]

even his sticks lazily bouncing on the snare at the end have more rhythm than my drumming

[@orie1981]

Done it Justice.

[@Arcturus24]

pls do Ghost of the Sun one day

[@oasisfuture2045]

Analog 100000%

[@xenryn]

Austerity would be a good song to cover.

[@RedToxy-rc7ev]

If meinl force you to play on classix custom instead byzance - blink twice lul

[@emergentform1188]

If I had a daughter I would encourage her to join Alex's harem, to help propagate his genes.
