Alex Rudinger - Conquering Dystopia - "Ashes Of Lesser Men" video free download

I've gotten a lot of requests to do more Conquering Dystopia play-through's. So here's 'Ashes Of Lesser Men', one of my personal faves!

The drum kit that I'm using here belongs to my good friend Alex Markidies. My new Tama kit is still being built so he was kind enough to let me borrow his to record a few videos. Sounds and looks beautiful - it's an early model B/B. Sizes 8", 10", 12", 14", 22". The snare is one of mine, 14" by 6" Starphonic Brass. Might be my favorite snare I've recorded with!

Big thanks also goes to Adam 'Nolly' Getgood who did the mixing for this video. He was able to bring out some characteristics that I'm not used to hearing from recording in my basement. Couldn't be happier, sounds great! Alex & Nolly: Two incredibly sick guys!

For anyone that is hearing Conquering Dystopia for the first time, please check out our debut Self-titled album. The project features Keith Merrow, Jeff Loomis & Alex Webster.

This video was all done in one take. I used 4 different HD Camera's. I've gotten a lot of questions about what kind of Cameras I use, so for anyone who is interested here you go -

Canon HF11 - front left angle

Canon T3i - front right angle, camera belongs to good buddy Anup

Canon HV30 - back right angle

Sony HDR XR500V - back left angle

I proudly endorse Tama Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, Vic Firth Drumsticks, 2Box Electronics, Gator Cases, & 1964 In-Ears.

For this video I used an array of - mostly - Byzance & MB20 cymbals, Clear Emperors on toms, Coated Controlled Sound on snare, and Clear PS3 on Kick.
