"This is Rick Harrison and this is his pawn shop. He works here with old man, and his son, big hoss. Everything in here has a story, and a price. One thing he's learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door, but I'll use it as a crash."
Gunnar Streuli Customer - “Today I have a really special item; a crash cymbal. 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.” Rick - “Best I can do is 10 bucks.”
The image of a big gong where one of his crash cymbals should be is funny. Imagining him playing Bleed with an occasional high pitched, short lived crash being switched to a deep, multiple measure GOOONNNGGGGG has me laughing so hard I’m crying and I can’t breathe.
It was really neat to see each of individual pieces of the kit that one of my biggest drumming inspirations uses. I do one day hope to be on the same level as Tomas. Also that clip of him forgetting to switch back to his American accent at 6:17 has me dying.
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.
I've been a Meshuggah fan since 1995.....this video has to be the most informative, insightful video I've seen in a long time. Super Cool!! Very interesting to get in Tomas brain about this stuff!
I keep hearing about drummers who are supposed to be "the shit" and when I check them out I am often underwhelmed. I'm rarely impressed and hardly ever excited. It got to the point where I started thinking I might be overly critical. That I might even have unrealistic expectations of what a HUMAN drummer can actually deliver. Then I hear Tomas Haake again...
Finding a comment that isn't about "I use it as a crash" here is harder than finding one that isn't about "Ninooo" in all Gordon Ramsay related content.
Every time i watch tomas, i’m taken aback by his command of the american accent. It’s almost perfect. Maybe one of two words per sentence give him away. Other than that, he basically sounds like some dude who grew up in the midwest
What a great interview! The questions were so precise and thought provoking and warranted equally as interesting responses. You can always tell when someone is passionate about what they're interviewing about and that when asked the right question a normally stoic guy will really give you some golden responses! Wow.
June 8th 793, ancestor of Tomas Haake : "Left to right, this is my axe, very usefull, but I prefer my sword. And here my shield, very good wood, I made some adjustements to it. Well balanced. Ok then... let's raid."
I’ve seen other rig rundowns and they never hit the different parts to hear them. I hope they start getting these guys to play them so you can hear it and then have then describe the sound.
NO FUCKING WAY!! HIS SNARE IS A CUSTOM JAPANESE ORDER FROM DAVE ETLICH !?!? my dreams of acquiring this snare die today... but I Just got the aax 19 china and I cannot wait til it arrives in the mail! Also im revamping my whole cymbal setup and i currently have this 22 inch vintage zildjian ride that Im gonna try as my main crash after seeing this cause holy fuck!!
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 met Thomas and his brother(who btw,makes effects for Frederick & Marten),and they are both down to earth cool guys. Circa-PHILADELPHIA 2011...i think

Thomas Haake (apollo 33.3 expedition)
Trick pedal user here. I'm blown away he went back to that old, crappy spring Tama pedal. Not knocking Tama, I was brought up on Iron Cobras.

Yeah, I crashed it, so now I use It as a crash
2:25 And here is a vibrating Tomas Haake.
"This is your mom, the heaviest matter in the universe, nothing outweighs this object. But I use it as a crash."
- there's your name on the stick! - yeah, yeah, i guess... :D :D
Fuck they sound good live... Haake looks like a super chill guy, love his interviews :D
Thomas is one of the coolest and humble, master drummers out there. He's just so chill in every interview I've seen him in.
"I recently dredged up the entire lost city of Atlantis. I use it as a crash."
By far my favourite drummer, he´s a monster when playing.
6:17 Tomas went full Viking for a split second.
he _is_ full viking.
Not really, vikings have been extinct for a thousand years.
BeardedDanishViking tell that to his beard.😂
If a beard is all one needs to be identified as a viking in your world, you need to read a fecking book.

A little known fact is that Tomas was actually the Hindenburg pilot. People wanted to use it as a zeppelin but Tomas thought differently I guess.
underrated comment
Excellent delivery…so good I’ll use it as a crash.

Copy cat clones.
Follow the leader mentality.
Does he use them as a crash too?
Haake is incredible man! I can listen to him to play all day
Every time i watch tomas, i’m taken aback by his command of the american accent. It’s almost perfect. Maybe one of two words per sentence give him away. Other than that, he basically sounds like some dude who grew up in the midwest
Many people in the midwest are Scandinavian in origin so maybe that explains the accent.
If you told me this dude was from St. Paul, Minnesota I'd fully believe you. Guy just masters the technical aspects of everything I guess.
I don't like the music but I absolutely LOVE his drumming!!
"This is the Sun, but I use it as a crash."
That was awesome!
wish they would put out the full footage of the live playing. the sound is fantastic!
that 21'' china is massive. he has such a great kit.
Every cymbal right before any gig: *Brace yourselves brothers and sisters, here it goes again.*
Sit down kids and listen to this master of metal !
I come back once a year to use this video as a crash.
10:47 -- it's a Tegera 9105 work glove!
Dude sounds just like Louis CK
Wow, he does!
Badministrator with an accent though
Badministrator i wonder if he says vaginer😂😂😂
Kalin Puls he says "main China" instead 1:26
Badministrator HOLY FUCK!!!!!!
‚These are two 16“ Crashes. I use them as contact lenses.‘
I love how precise he is in his choices. He has super specific reasons for choosing his sounds, his gloves, etc. Impressive.
That's awesome he uses Tama Speed Cobras. I just got a Speed Cobra double pedal and absolutely love it. Really fast and smooth but with lots of power.
I believe Terry Bozzio also uses the compression hats.
What a great interview! The questions were so precise and thought provoking and warranted equally as interesting responses. You can always tell when someone is passionate about what they're interviewing about and that when asked the right question a normally stoic guy will really give you some golden responses! Wow.

This is a 8mm bell brass snare.
I like a darker sound, so i use it as a crash.

that audio from the gig at the beginning is BRUTAL
Hell yeah. Awesome to see Tomas uses tama speed cobras. IMO, the new updated iron cobras and speed cobras are the best pedals ever to my feet.
This is the helmet of a Viking king slain by one of my ancestors. See, the guy’s head is still in it. I use it as a crash.
Every now and then I come back to this video just because the comments are so damn good😂😂😂
Jens from 7:34 sounds on point for this song can tell his voice was just right at this section of the tour.
Jeez, those sticks are like logs.
Awesome guy, seems super nice.
Glad Oisín is doing well. He used to play for one of my favorite groups, which is Enemies.
His speech is really flowing like a human. Robots these days are really well programmed.
Loved the vid but it would be even better with at least a hit per drum/cymbal.
A stero pair should do the trick.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I’ve seen other rig rundowns and they never hit the different parts to hear them. I hope they start getting these guys to play them so you can hear it and then have then describe the sound.

I'll bet he uses it as a crash
