He has performed extensively throughout North & South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia and released over 60 recordings as a leader and co-leader, featuring his compositions and percussion work.

Rudolph has performed with Don Cherry, Andre 3000, Jon Hassel, Pharaoh Sanders, Sam Rivers, Tyshawn Sorey, Muhal Richard Abrams, L. Shankar, Dave Liebman, Wadada Leo Smith, Philip Glass, Omar Sosa and Fred Anderson, among others.

He toured extensively and recorded 15 albums with Yusef Lateef, including duets and their large ensemble compositional collaborations. His compositions have been performed by Momenta String Quartet, Oberlin Percussion Group, Figura Chamber Orchestra, and Odense Percussion Ensemble, among others.
