Alex Rudinger - Whitechapel - 'Lost Boy'

Whitechapel's upcoming album 'KIN' is now available for Pre-Order (link below!) -

"Lost Boy" is the first single from KIN, & also happens to be one of the first tunes I wrote drums for on the new album. Certainly more on the 'tech' side drum-wise ;) ! This album will mark my recorded debut with #Whitechapel - I'm very proud of it, & can't wait for you all to hear the rest! 

Check out the official music video for "Lost Boy", too - 

Huge shoutout to Declan White for the slammin' mix here! Declan's been doing a whole lot of mixing for me as of late (as I'm sure you've all noticed!). He does phenomenal work & is an exceptionally rad guy. If you're in the market for a quality Audio Engineer, you can contact Declan using the information below - 

Additional thanks to GOOD BUDDY Sean Curry for making these lovely Whitechapel / KIN themed intro & outro clips. If any of you have ever noticed that my intro's match whatever color kit I'm using, that's all Sean's handywork! This video deviates from that a bit - the coloring obviously doesn't match the kit like usual (Haha), but I thought a nice KIN-related intro would be perfect for these Playthroughs. So big love to Sean... all I did was send him the artwork - he came up with the rest!

[KRIMHDrummer]

I am getting a Decapitated vibe here which I don't mind at all!

[iwasinthechessclub]

Congrats Alex, The BAND is really lucky to have you on the record.

[mattdangerg]

Whitechapel returns to where they started, tech death metal

[clairazil]

Sophisticated, balanced, yet skilful and ferocious. Some of the best, most mature and powerful stuff I've heard you do so far.

[melomandrumspassion]

Rudinger is truely one of the very best out there. He has everything, strenght, endurance, speed, intelligence and the capacity to always improve.

[jordanschoepke]

Woah he plays this song perfectly, I wonder who played this part in the recording...

In all seriousness I'm so happy they picked you Rudi! You're a great fit for the band and I can't wait to here the full record.

[Altroburst]

that snare sound is so satisfying since The Valley and hopefully in the future

[alexandredesmonts]

these parts well so well written ....these triplets on hit hat during bridge are

[guie]

Nothing short of being the favorite drummer ... come on, .. this is not good, not great, this is Rudinger... thats the class above great

[michaelb.]

I never liked this brand of metal, but when Alex plays it, it sounds fantastic. He has the best drum tone, too !!

[miketheq]

Loved the nodding at the end like "yep, bar's here now, deal with it"

[PhillipDrumz]

Those new pedals ACD UNlimited looking like butter! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[paulcarr]

Your left hand snare on blasts is so much finger tips that it trips me out!

[vinic]

NO one will ever be able to play this album like this drummer. In terms of sounding, Alex is the drummer born for whitechapell

[anupvasudev]

This is inhuman, ferocious, and perfect. Alex, you’re an absolute beast

[justinrunkel]

I'm a drummer, but cannot comprehend how his blast beats are so awesome and perfect.

[pedrolitoooo]

I can never get enough of your tom fills

[stabzatvisionz]

A play through of “ I will find you”, would be sick! That’s my favorite track from the record.. :)

[DeathMachineJoe]

So glad you've joined WC full-time now! Your work on this track is killer!

[dylanhonaker]

This man is a partial key to "Whitechapel" and "Light The Torch" success. His playing amplifies everything about any track he plays on. 🤘
