Alex Rudinger - Whitechapel - "Without Us"

[@sambonnett5721]

Considering leaving my family and quitting my job so I can watch videos of you playing all day.

[@midian879]

My favorite song off the album. The swings from melodic to hard. The singing on the track. Masterful album

[@probablynotian]

Your play-throughs before the album came out is what brought the album to my attention.

[@dylanpipkins]

It's simple; I listened to most of the newest album just to hear your magnificent work as a percussionist.

[@patmullen7597]

This is my favorite track of the album. Everything about it is a damn work of art. The cymbal work is Stewart Copeland level drumming. Amazing job Alex, and everyone in the band on this entire album, and THANK YOU!

[@NoxiousLyom]

Yesss, you've made me a huge Whitechapel fan

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

Arguably some of your best work, my friend. Great song and the fills are fresh. That snare is killer too!

[@hugemetalfan6664]

Thank you for your time you being the drummer for whitechapel. I had the biggest shock face when I heard you left the band.😮

[@graveyarddrums]

He's just so CLEAN

[@SepiRankaisija]

This is the best album i've ever heard. Thank you Alex!

[@TylerHNothing]

so much better than Dark Side of the Moon or Moving Pictures

[@cygnus540]

@@TylerHNothing He must be like 14, give him a break lmfao. Although 2112 was my top when I was a kid.

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

@@TylerHNothing Specific musical appreciation is subjective. Your preferences are moot in regards to the best album he has ever heard. I could name a minimum of 30 albums which are, unequivocally, instrumentally superior to the 2 you mentioned, but more importantly, they’re much heavier/faster because that’s what I’m into. Neither of us can claim that our respective tastes are more musically significant than the other. I do like PINK FLOYD though.

[@Chillidog650]

Well now i gotta go play some drums lol epic playing as always man

[@user-bl3si3kq6x]

Been watching you for what seems like 10 years. So glad I saw the beginning

[@shane_058]

Alex brought such a heavy agressive, yet emotional feel to the album with his playing man, its so awesome to see/hear. Great work bud!

[@MrAlbertDrummer]

Wow theese 15th sound like f""ng WOW!!!🤘🔥

[@LiquidAudio]

Man, every video you make is just amazing. Can't say enough how much I love the sound, the symmetry, the power and the precision 🤘🤘

[@joshkuhnmusic]

You and Anup have the best drum videos out there. Ear candy

[@booger19888]

Bro, alex..... you never disappoint man! Much love Rudi

[@zero28ism]

This album is so fucking good it's become one of my favourites from the last few years. You posting these playthroughs is amazing

[@N8Nefarious]

I have not given this album enough listens yet. I forgot how amazing this song is.

[@lostintheblur4380]

I love this because i can here what all the instruments are doing without phil's voice and also this is by far the best song on the album

[@c3N3q]

Man, that's a beautiful 🔊🎵🎶 heavy clean sound, you can hear every note from everyone.

[@DeathMachineJoe]

Loved that you did a playthrough of this track! One of my favorites from Kin. A bit disappointed that we won't see you do playthroughs of the rest of the album, but I understand. Stoked to see you perform the older Whitechapel songs though!

[@AfifShahSadipSeven]

I teared up a bit while watching Whitechapel last week in Melbourne, not because it's my favourite deathcore band cause my favourite Drummer wasn't there to play with them. Waited so long to see you live but yet failed . 😔

[@GrooveJuggernaut]

That final CH tho!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Rycorpse]

Whole album is a masterpiece ❤

[@dethbrand6]

Thanks for this man !!! Love You

[@johnathonklinedinst5889]

I wish you were still in the band but thank you for recording the drums for the album.

[@HmetalG]

Favorite song off the album and I am so happy you uploaded this!!! Thank you 🤘🏽

[@TheBadThad]

Alex killing it, I enjoyed see WC last year!

[@MattJFilms]

3:26 your accent and fill work is so damn tasty!

[@RichardCole1002]

Excellent drumming brother! You played that flawlessly! 🤘🤘🤘

[@1siriuswolf]

Probably my favorite track on the album.. one of the best drummer's out there 🧞

[@intotheemptinessband]

Love me some white chapel! Thanks for the inspiration to start my own album. Took me long enough haha.

[@rhysgiles3345]

Incredible!! Such an asset to Whitechapel. I’d love to know why you left the band

[@Lozenger91]

I'm not sure why, as these drum parts and tones are some of the best I've heard in modern metal. However, I'm just still gutted that things couldn't work out. I was really hoping you had found your spot in a good band. It's a shame you never seemed to get the recognition you deserved there!

[@QuincyKane]

You did such a fantastic job on this album!

[@sergsavin6486]

hi Alex, could you pls provide notes (or tabs) for an old Threat Signal - Trust in None? P.S. you are awesome!

[@maartenvalentin4162]

[@evelyneverlasting9038]

@alexrudinger can you please upload the old ordinance and threat signal videos please. I know they took them down for one reason or another but it would be cool if you could upload them elsewhere or even just the audio. Let me know

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Loving that bass tone....

[@gSWG3R]

Man that opening riff and groove just STOMPS so fucking hard.

[@JeffNixonComedy]

So damn good

[@bagusdimas6897]

The first part like a Meshuggah song “Break Those Bones Who Sinews Gave It Motion” 😂, but i like it!

[@AmateurSuperFan]

I knew i should have gone to see chapel with rudi

[@jitomorales]

Overview Lyrics Come to the surface, my son You're not breathing so well I couldn't stand to lose you another time But this is not real, we're not here Don't you understand that we've already lost one another? Please accept reality So I can finally be free Where will we be in the years to come? I know somewhere inside you is me Crying out for help, but I'm right here with you Begging you to see the hell we've created I know it's hard to accept the truth But it's time to let this all go Let this all go Let this all go I'm holding onto your neck It's taking everything for me to not watch you Fade out into the sound of nothing But this is not real, we're not here Don't you understand that we both have to move on together? Without you, there's no me There's no us, there's no family It's so dark, it's so quiet now Is there anyone out there? Anyone? I'm alone again, just what I'm used to I'm here, bow to the ancient God The portal is shut, locked, no way out This is home This isn't home, it's hell with a lovely face The mask just hides the truth that controls our fate Take a look around, my friend That part of our life is dead So tell me where will we be in the years to come? I know somewhere inside you is me Crying out for help, but I'm right here with you Begging you to see the hell we've created I know it's hard to accept the truth But it's time to let this all go Let this all go

[@jeremybonneau6892]

Love the video.

[@MauricioMagaldi]

Sick playthrough as always! As for the snare, if you have the serial number Tama could be able to pull up the specs. Would love to see it!

[@heybrah84]

Crazy seeing you play like a mortal 🤣🤘

[@schulbullglc1494]

I would love you make a cover a krosis, the first album is the best and very musical

[@nahuelandrini5526]

La influencia de Casagrande es indiscutible... Me encataaaaaaaaaaa 🔥☠️🥁🥁🥁🎵🎶

[@andrewhart9310]

I always thought Alex's intricacies and fills were in a way too "fancy" for Whitechapel - like, listening to the music as a whole, I'd never notice the subtleties and nuances he brings to the kit, but watching him is another story. I'll miss him in the band, but I'm excited to see what's next. I'd be shocked if he doesn't end up in a big name band very soon.

[@TheSteviebobevie]

Man Navene Koperweis did the same for them on The Valley, and the guy before was a beast too. Ben something I think. Whitechapel cannot seem to keep a drummer which is ironic bc their albums over time have had outstanding mf drumming on MANY tracks. It just keeps coming nonetheless!

[@maidenless_tarnished]

0:48 this sequence really had me messed up for second cause the movement made it looked like you played a one-handed flam with your left hand between the china and snare. I was like "I know he's good, but come on there's no way!"😅

[@Thenewbronzeagecollapse]

Dude you need to report the spam account that's responding to everyone of the comments on here. Btw, amazing playthrough.

[@dudeimtellingthetruth]

Please join them again

[@johnluevanojr.6026]

Oh Ya that's bad ass, I love drums, but could never play. I also love white chapel

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ayye, Tama bottles water now? 🤣

[@ExecutionSommaire]

Would be awesome to have a "drum battle" with a gospel chops guy, your playing is super clean and groovy

[@wilfriedlukrawka6540]

Drinking while working is vorbidden. I like setting the gost notes. Greetz

[@MrZip420]

the finesse.

[@cd_core]

so goddamn solid

[@KrillSmith]

So fucking good. Your fill composition is just next level. Snare sounds insane too (whole kit does tbf).

[@JuveriSetila]

EARLY PATREON BOIS SQUAD!

[@JuveriSetila]

O hey, how did I do that?

[@TallMatt]

@@JuveriSetila oh shit, thank you for reminding me to do that lmao

[@BluntForceErre]

Nice 🤘😎

[@shrity93]

God those Tom fills are the best

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

You really bury those rim-shots Alex.

[@graverick666]

are you able to make a quick video on your pedal settings please?...thanks advance :)

[@S0RR0WSPELL]

Wish you were still with the band.

[@swindlehappy9309]

Thought this was a The Acacia Strain track at first lmao

[@JasonLuther1]

heck yeah Rudi!

[@cbsaulren]

Rudi is a drum legend

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

Dude! That sounded tight?

[@saidsnipersouls6876]

greeting from Morocco

[@MrAlbertDrummer]

So Alex, just wondering if that give-away is the real thing, or just spammers?oO

[@juliantristanburkert2984]

hmm... is it posible to cell you my soul to get your drum sound :D ?

[@Gurangaa]

Shadow of Intent cover plzzz!

[@jackdixon8444]

The dots above U in Rudinger resemble double kick

[@StopPanakinAnakin]

The drums riff more than the guitars, I like it

[@parisite99]

While I’ll always love Rudi’s work, man WC fell off hard. How do you go from the kings of Deathcore to putting people to sleep?

[@0_darko]

It’s time to let this all go

[@kyleboggs1966]

What kick pedals are you using?

[@nathandrums0]

That snare is straight up illegal

[@DeathMetalRob]

3:07 🤣

[@romaonetto]

\m/

[@dawihard6897]

I DONT SEE "THE SAW IS THE LAW" HERE

[@michaelmoody7649]

It’s just not fair to the rest of us

[@CFChristian]

I'll never understand having a 30lb, $3000 snare... Only to make it sound like the default EZ Drummer snare.

[@BFelix1776]

Whitechapel was better with you in the band.

[@Harry1s]

I looked and sounded incredibly difficult to play. Your details and accents separate you from most drummers imo.

[@mostlypeacefuljc4687]

Great drummer, not a fan of the song
