Official drum playthrough for "Clockworks" from MESHUGGAH's eighth album, The Violent Sleep of Reason, out worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records. - Розваги
"what time signature is that" Should be the name of their next album.
😂 😂 😂 😂 Could say the same about animals as leaders too tbh
4 lol
It's almost all polymetric patterns over 4/4
It's all 4/4 .
@@ronz303 well... yes and no. The underlying structure is all in 4/4, yes, but all the other patterns are in different and mostly multiple meters that shift relative to that 4/4 structure
Time signature 4/4 believe it or not. These guys are polymeter masters.
"Masters" is an understatement. They're polyrhythm gods.
Dang. I mustve been counting wrong. At first i thought it was 5/4. after seeing this and listening again, i can hear it
Its more like a lot of time signatures over 4/4 you can think it in a lot of ways, its not always 4/4 but you can count it like this
@@kampen9868 This is true. This is where we get into the realm of polymeter. Think of "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin, but on many steroids lol.
@@kampen9868 "time signatures over 4/4" That's called a polymeter. Yes something other than 4/4 is being played but the music is in 4/4. That's why the "odd time" parts go over the bar. The band members themselves have explained that it's in 4/4. The cool thing about it is when you finally train your ear to hear the song in 4/4, the groove feels like 1K tons.
The most humble reaction ever.... HIGHLY enjoyed your response man🤘
I appreciate that
11:08
I love that you chose "Clockwork" to react to. Tomas's work in this song is unparalleled.
Hehe....speaking of pedals, you should look at their drumcam of "Meshuggah - Bleed - Tomas Haake - Wincent Drumsticks"....and you might wanna sit down when you watch that one ;)
Second that. Bleed is usually the first video and for a great reason.
Absolutely!
Yeah if u have't reviewed Bleed it's not a real reaction chanel for drummers ;-)
@@jasonsansburn Actually for an overrated reason. Yes - the drum cam is entirely on the drummer, but thats partially the problem - the song should have featured More of his leg work, because it is That which is the most mindblowing part about the drum parts of that song, and Not what he does with his hands by keeping time, _most of the time_ ...
@@19RaxR91 Considering that the drumcam video for "Bleed" was made and paid for by Wincent Drumsticks, I'd hazard a guess that they wanted eyes on their product. 😉
Out of 70 or so songs, Clockworks is definitely one of their top 5 most challenging...even though they play challenging, polymetric music.
Mouth Licking What You've Bled is up there too.
Can't believe I've been listening to Meshuggah for about 16 years and this is the first time I noticed Tomas Haake has two hi-hats.
Three, he has a closed one on his far right in his live setup as well :)
You must be a gitarist
Most drummers use two hi hats: top one and bottom one, that's how they work innit
Man seeing them live was one of the best experiences I have ever had.
Like they said below, it's 4/4. All the polyrythmics are patterns on top. For really crazy double bass work, check out the drumcam version of their song Bleed!
7:38 The heaviest shit on the planet is about to start...
Goosebumps everytime
there's a doc of Meshuggah recording an album and the guitarist is making coffee and says "I always lose the count when making coffee". the fucking irony
Another great Swedish drummer and friend of Haake is Morgan Ågren. He was invited by Frank Zappa. That says it all 😀
Not to mention the membership in the "Devin Townsend's Drummers" support group :)
Morgan Ågren jamming with Thordendal (Meshuggah guitarist) on his song Sol Niger Within on that learning channel (UR, Utbildningsradion) program about learning to play drums is insane. Not just is it technically complex but it also grooooves
Chris Turner - 40 Roll. Insane drumming.
Yes, or any of his oceans ate Alaska drum playthrough
Spencer Prewett
@@Juliusonthego meh
nah, that song was basic for his level. He needs to react to High Horse instead. Chris went nuts on that one.
@@brotato654 Nope. Benzaiten is one of his most complex songs that he's been recorded playing. If you're a drummer you would know that.
Thanks for the reactions. I love seeing how musicians from different styles and genres check out styles of music they are not used to. Nice one dude. We are all friends across the world in music.
Thomas Haake is one of the best drummers in the world. His polyrhythms are seconds to none. I've played double double bass for near 40 years, and I'm still not close to the technical proficiency of this master of the kit. Listen to Bleed by these guys. It took Thomas 6 months to learn it. That's dedication.
Tomas Haake - absolute beast!
Meshuggah, with all of their endless complexity, is this simple to comprehend: 5 Swedish boys "braangs" the funk.
Good stuff man. Love the authenticity. Keep it up
Love this! Glad I found your channel!! I’m a double kick player. But I’ll be honest, I definitely did not master the single first. I kind of just always wanted to use my left foot as well on the kick drum. I ended up just starting from there and developing with it always there. Now I sit on a single kick set and I suddenly have to throw out all these fast doubles and triples just to mimic my normal style. Lol!
Have a great holiday! I’m gonna go ahead and binge your channel.
Superb reaction Kenneth! Time is all F..... Up with these guys 😆
Awesome reaction! loved watching with this with you in 2023
Best band ever
Brother, great reaction. From an Australian drummer. 🥁🎼
Subbed and liked from this reaction video.
Thanks
your camera, lighting, and framing is super good. just wanted to mention what i noticed right away
I have seen them live more than a few times and it is even more mindblowing watching a bunch of 50plus dudes kill it. That whole band is on another level. They helped create a whole different sound of metal. The singer used to play guitar and sing these crazy time signatures at the same time. These guys deserve so much more kudos than they get. Great video man. Have you seen Infant Annihilator Cuntcrusher play through? Disgusting sounding, yes. But keep an open mind. That young dudes drum skills are another completely different beast. Check it out. Much respect to you man. 👍👍
haha "i like the meshuggahs" love that
I gotta say, to see a gospel drummer react to this is epic. Gospel drummers are absolute beast technicians when it comes to musical approach. I hope you apply some of this to your playing and melt faces. Love your perspective btw. I'm sure someone already said this, but if you get the chance, catch them live, it will change your life more than it has now just reacting to it.
Tomas practiced the song "Bleed" for an entire year just to learn this new way of drumming and get the song into muscle memory. That's dedication right there.
6 months*
"What time signature is that?"
Every Meshuggah fan: Yes
Every Meshuggah Fan : Its 4/4
Yup and then when the cymbal breaks up follow the snare. It'll either be on beat three or beats 2 and 4.
"What time signature is that?"
Tomas: "Yes"
"What time signature is that?" ... ALL OF THEM! ;-)
actually its all 4/4 lol
Actually you're both right. They use polymeters almost everywhere, so most sections are both in 4/4 and also in some odd meter (usually multiple odd meters, since there are some shorter bars to sync back up with the 4/4 pulse).
If you liked Tomas you'd most likely dig Mario Duplantier. Plays in a band called Gojira, maybe check out his drum cam for the song Toxic Garbage Island
Literally every reaction I've seen to Meshuggah's music has the reactor describing the music as "crazy". People who know any Yiddish and are familiar with this band get a chuckle every time it happens.
Check out elliot hoffman of carbomb!!
I would like to say thank you for liking and understanding the whole sound of the song instead of just focusing the drums and discounting the strings or vocals. Metal and especially extreme metal get passed by a lot of people cause they can't understand the lyrics or the guitars sound like a typewriter but you took into account all the elements and the wall of sound and came out a fan.
Huh, an american nailing how you say Tomas in swedish. Nice video too dude
FINALLY SOMEONE DID THIS SONG!!! IT'S MY FAVORITE MESHUGGAH SONG!!!!
He had a serious hand accident and he had problems after that holding the stick so uses a glove on that hand
Okay, That makes a ton sense now
@@KennethKBBenson and does not wear it on the left because it's too much grip and he hits very hard. he explains it in some interview
He uses Vic Firth Tomas Haake Signature. Please react to "Bleed" for crazy double pedal action, "Electric Red" for heaviness. If you wanna see ton of technique and taste check out "Stengah" Live.
Tomas used to play Vic Firth and had his own signature stick through them. In 2013 he made a change, and is a Wincent Drumstick endorser, and uses the Wincent THS (Tomas Haake Signature) stick.
Great video man. You may enjoy dan preslands drum videos and plague flowers the kaleidoscope is a great one to watch.
Bruhhh. Wanna see some more insanity? Chris Turner - 40 Roll.
Tomas is a beast. Not just his chops but the way he uses double bass in a technical way, not just straight 16th notes. He plays distinct and complimentary rhythms with his feet. Another drummer to check out is Tim Alexander of Primus. Jerry was a race car driver, DMV, Tommy the Cat, Wynona's big brown beaver have really good double bass work.
He uses a legacy 22” ride as a crash lol
You know it’s hard when other drummers ask what the time signature is lmao
Using double pedal is indeed really hard at first, it took me like a year and a half to get past the first speed barrier (which was around 135 bpm for me) now I can consistently do anything around 160-170? But it's still really hard to get past that, despite my 4 years of playing with doubles
Hey dude that was great. I am a drummer and huge Messhugah fan.
Mgła- Excercises in Futility V next?
The glove on one hand is because he messed up that hand with a router. Dude's an absolute beast!
Glad you liked them and the drum playthrough, man! :D If you want to see some more unbelievable drumming, check out Archspire - Lucid Collective Somnambulation (drummer: Spencer Prewett)
Thomas Haake is monster on drums
Im definitely a double bass player, just picked up that china cymbal he uses the Sabian AAX xtreme 19 china. This is definitely one of my favorite bands, that bell Brass Snare is absolutely the best sounding thing I've ever heard. A thick brass snare is high on my list!
keep on rocking man, I really appreciate you commenting on the singer, cause yeah hes a beast, and yeah the mix is sweet!
FYI this band is so legendary they have an entire subgenre of metal that has formed in their wake called Djent which is an onomatopoeia for the sound the guitar and bass band a "djent". Other notable bands include Animals as Leaders and Periphery.
But you definitely know Animals as Leaders drummer Matt Garstka cause he is hottest drummer in modern metal by far!
Wittner actually calibrate their metronomes with Tomas Haake as a reference.
Check some out Meshuggahs live from Tokyo performance of the song Pravus. It is the best live performance I have ever seen and the energy that they bring forth is on a different level.
recommendation for another reaction video: anthoy barone - rise of the fearmonger - drum playthrough.
that dude delivers a combination of speed and brute force unmatched by anything i‘ve ever seen before.
You should also do nostrum. People might tell you to do bleed cuz it’s more popular but nostrum is superior imo
Its the most appropriately named Meshuggah song: no strum, only chug :)
I know someone else commented this already, but '40 Roll' by Chris Turner is a must watch!
Coming soon 😉
He looks strangely calm playing this, such focus!
Like all the masters....stay Focus!!!...try Jamie st merat.....
from what ive seen in many videos he has 3 hi-hats, one open and one closed and one he can open and close with his foot as usual. now i cant remeber every song of the top of my head but i belive that they are all made in a 4/4 but they poly the hell out of them with ghost notes and one over and under and sick fills etc. and what their music is depends on who´s listening, for a "metalhead" its just kickass music and for a musician their songs are basiclly masterclasses. (drummers and guitarr players i know have said to me atleast)
the singer is a beast and he writes some of their music too
That video is them all recording the song for the album all playing together in separate rooms while being recorded all at once.
He an Awesome Drummer.
Seen him do promos for Wincent drumsticks, not a drummer but being a fan if meshuggah I am certain that is the brand he uses.
"I like the Meshuggahs"
you and me both pal, you and me both
You should check out the wincent drum cam of bleed by meshuggah its insane! Loved the vido!
1987 til today that is a long amount of drum exp, probably best drummer alive today, guitars are 8 strings as well, use base strings on the top strings, to get that deeper tones.
Tomas uses Wincent drum sticks made in Sweden,excellent for hard hitters
Guitar bass and drums sure gotta memorize some crazy complex patterns. They must practice like crazy in order to play this stuff live without missing a beat. Even when it’s staying in the same poly meter for a while, they’re still changing up the pattern constantly. Crazy
Look his drumstel bro 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 crazy 😝
He's not only using a double bass pedal - he has two pedals for his left foot, the other one for the high hat. Most of the song is expressed through a single bass pedal.
Also - Thomas is sponsored by Vic Firth ;)
I think you would really like Blake Richardson's Voice of Trespass drum cam!
It's like they invented a whole new tonal vocabulary, there are no blues roots in this stuff that I can hear. Refreshing. And I like blues.
Wincent sticks, Tomas Haake signature.
Hi Kenneth. Tomas uses a signature stick made by Wincent.
when 3 people are headbanging in the back to different beats.................ITS MESHUGGAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out copper wasp by night verses
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want you for my fucking church!!! thank god for people like you!!
My man you need to react to
Chris Turner - High Horse from his Vic Firth performance. I wanna see your perspective. It's easily his best drum video out there.
Haake is a machine
Meshuggah fan here for the upvote.
I believe he uses his own signature stick through a company called Wincent
Switzerland created the atomic clock and Sweden responded by giving the world Thomas Haake
-What time signature is that?
-Yes
Brann Dailor, Vitek R.I.P, Pete Sandoval, Gene Hoglan, Vinnie Paul R.I.P, Anthony Barone, etc all are AMAZING .Glad to see open minded ppl
You should check out matt garstka from animals as leaders. Another immense drummer on the djent metal scene and he's technically really advanced
"What time signature is that??" ANSWER: Yes!
He plays his Wincent sticks signature.
Those are all ride cymbals. He crashes on all of them lol. He's amazing
Well not all rides. But he does use a 22” as the main crash.
@@FanaticDrummer 22" heavy crash is best crash.
For when you absolutely need to break your fellow musicians hearing...
If you like this Meshuggah drum cam, look for "Bleed." There's a drum cam video of that song, too.
Also, yes you did pronounce "Meshuggah" correctly lol.
Check out John Longstreth, he is absolutely inhuman
He uses his signature series from Wincent drumsticks: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WTHS--wincent-hickory-artist-drumsticks-tomas-haake
Subbing for the Meshuggah-Bleed react
Very fine touch not playing through youtube 👍🏻
Love the double bro..neighbours not so much
Great song the next song on the album is my favourite check out born of dissonance such a beast of a song
Meshuggah is the GOAT man, I'd recommend Stengah, Dancers to a Discordant System, and The Demons Name is Surveillance. TBF any of their stuff is God Tier lol
Here's Dancers to a Discordant System on xylophone ua-cam.com/video/MyckFsxeylE/v-deo.html
And Electric Red covered by a marching band ua-cam.com/video/yUhd8PjTk6s/v-deo.html
I recommend 40 Roll by Chris Turner
I agree with the bleed drum cam video. You want insane. That song drumming wise is a different beast.
He is not playing but transmitting what we hear.
FYI, I believe Tomas uses Wincent drumsticks.
awesome! and i believe he just needs the single glove because its his lead hand. probably needs more grip. he had an injury.
