It’s made from a chunk of the planet Neptune that fell to Earth over 20,000 years ago and was fashioned into a cymbal by the Atlanteans. It’s the heaviest know object in the universe, and It was passed along from generation to generation until it was recently used by Tomas Haake on the latest Meshuggah album.”

      @chillinlikeaphilin 7 років тому +87

      That's because they learn it from the technical side of English. Pretty much any native speaker you'll meet will have learned English from the casual side of the language, so they're bound to use colloquial words and patterns that are technically incorrect but are understood perfectly. You can be fluent in a language and be unable to carry a conversation with a native speaker.

    Nice on wincett sticks..I'm a Tommy Aldridge signature stick guy..17" and oak for consistency..I also use a drywall saw to rough up the sticks for loosening of grip..

    i have seen so many videos about this unique man for quite some time now, i ve bought my first meshuggah cd at 95 so naturally my first hearing was future breed machine lol, i think i will never forget my reaction anyway thats beside the point, what i wanted to share is that this man could easily be the original terminator whose ai just simply adapted to working around humans and learned/figured out a few basic human emotions and like around late 80s he joined this band and he has become what he is today...when i heard him say he gets nervous if he has different crushes , i laughed so hard ...this man is the epitomy of cool and technique in such an extraordinary way that it feels more logical to consider him a robot passing for a human being...

    I'm sure Tomas has been speaking English for several decades at this point, but his English is so crisp and authentic sounding. Swedes seem to speak English as a 2nd language so much better than most other Europeans, Asians, Africans, etc. Their accents just sound like a mix of northern European + the midwest so they're not difficult to understand.
