I was like "its either Straws, or The Last Vigil, and I see drums so it's gotta be Straws"... but now I am actually disappointed it's not him just chopping out over Vigil XD
One of my BIGGEST complaints about Haake's drumming is that 99% of his ghost notes on his snare are completely and totally lost in the mix. you can SENSE them in many places, but you can only ACTUALLY hear them clearly in a few spots here and there in the average song. Ghost notes came around long before distorted guitars did, so ghost strokes in a METAL BAND need just a touch more volume in my humble opinion to cut through enough to still register as "strokes". I could actually HEAR yours. Good job. Also, play "spasm" if you could.
Yep, I completely agree, I honestly think I can't make any ghost notes on the remastered Nothing album, which sucks because I like the overall sound much better on the remaster. I can play most of Spasm, I just havent gotten around to figure out the second half of the snare drum solo yet (when the cymbal hits come in), and also don't know the snare patterns of the section that comes directly after the snare solo. I will most likely try and get the entire song down because I really wanna post a cover of it 😄 Thanks for commenting bro, and thank you! 😄
Yea I mean it makes sense, not all ghost notes are created equal. there are definitely times where I use ghost notes for keeping time, and then other times where I use them to enhance the actual song.@@neonblack211
Someone once said this is the only song where Meshuggah ride off into the sunset..😂 That bend at the end of the solo always gets me...such a masterpiece.
Somehow I knew immediately it was this outro after reading that caption. It has been my favorite song from them for years and I always played it whenever I sat down on the kit.
@@H22prelude32Thank you! That's just something I added myself, i listen mostly to the blue version of the album which doesn't have alot of ghost notes in it. The yellow version might have some, although probably not like this :)
@@bl00ber99 nice. I'm trying to learn this song as well. Me not having double bass is going to be a issue though. Keep up the awesome covers. If I can make a request can you do humilative, it's one of my favorites from them
@@H22prelude32 I think you can get around not having double bass for quite alot of the song actually, and then just add your personal embelishments when you can't play along to the double bass :p I ofcourse have listened to Humilative a few times, although I haven't tried to play it yet, might test it out then :)

Thanks alot man! It's drummers like Tomas Haake, Jay Postones, and Matt Halpern that have really inspired me over the years to try and groove more, especially when it comes to metal. It just makes the whole experience of playing drums more enjoyable not only for the listener, but for myself aswell 😄
I love the fact, that you nailed the ghostnotes....most drummers can´t do em, or even care about them....but imo the ghostnotes in Meshuggah songs are important
In Death/Is Death The Hurt That Finds You First (live) Sublevels Future Breed Machine Ligature Marks All so beautiful. I suppose this does take the cake though.
Yea, before I got this I had mainly heard good sounding e-kits that used a plugin, but not too many good sounding e-kits that only used the module. However, I was pleasantly supprised when i recorded for the first time how well it sounded, so it's definitively possible to make the recordings sound nice if you just take some time to create a custom kit within the module :) I would also recommend that you try out the recording feature which some modules have (including this one, the TD-17), that's an awesome way to not only record but also keep the quality high.
For the past 1 or 1,5 years I've been thinking about maybe buying a kit and start playing. This might very well be the video that gives that final push! Beautiful!
My wife bought met one of those digital drum kits like what you have. I've never played drums in my life but I had been tossing around the idea for awhile. Meshuggah is my favorite band and you've inspired me. I know their stuff is going to be really hard to learn but I'm looking forward to trying
Luckily Meshuggah has a quite large discography so I'm sure you'll find atleast some songs that you can start off on! Personally I'd suggest 'Do Not Look Down', sure certain bassdrum patterns in that song might feel difficult in the beginning, but once you get the main hihat/snare groove I'd say you'll be able to play it :) Don't worry about ghost notes on the snare or keeping time on the hi-hat with your left foot to begin with, that stuff comes later, and most importantly: Just have fun with it! :D Good luck bro!
@@bl00ber99 thanks man. That's good advice, I was thinking Rational Gaze or Demiurge, but maybe I'll try DNLD to start. My favorite song is Clockworks... so.... yeah 🤣
while that's commendable, it's probably only gonna lead to frustration after some time because it's too high of a level for a beginner. just put some ac/dc on and play to that for a while to at least get some basic groove and coordination fundamentals down and throw in some fills. it's kinda like a rep in the gym - if it's not properly done, it doesn't count and even if you can play this groove don't forget that on top of playing it, you also need to make it groove, keep it tight and get the dynamics right f.ex. the ghost notes. without that, it doesn't "count" as it will sound like crap. it's also better if you get the techniques down first and don't have to learn them while simultaneously learning a very yhard piece of music on top of it
@@bl00ber99 It's like a tornado hauntingly beautiful. Rhythm that sounds like chaos to people who are not musically inclined but harmonizes well in true music theory.

You need to call an exorcist for that snare my dude.
Tends to become haunted when Meshuggah comes on 😉
Quite possibly my fave 2 minutes by Meshuggah
This was the first song in my messhugah experience, I've been a fan since a kid
Must've been a cool experience, I'm pretty sure mine was Bleed like many others :p
not only clean af but you got a real good feel man. grooves hard. well done

YES!! This is one of the most emotional parts of any song I know and that's difficult to convay to anyone who doesn't _get_ it.
It somehow perfectly distills that feeling of realizing your own mortality which is what the song is about.
Straws Pulled At Random is my favourite Meshuggah song.
I love the fact, that you nailed the ghostnotes....most drummers can´t do em, or even care about them....but imo the ghostnotes in Meshuggah songs are important
Thank you my man! Yea, I've always loved ghost notes within drumming, really brings the groove and feel out for sure.
straws pulled at random's solo makes me fucking weep
Oh man couldn't agree more, this outro section lives in my head rent free
True 😄
Dude. You nail the groove so well, I can feel it in my soul!
Awesome! Thank you so much, man :D
The reason why I love the album Via by volumes is they basically take this beauty and Make it a whole album haha

My favorite guitar solo ever.
Simple perfect 10/10
I'm single handedly gonna give this video around a 1000 views. Just watch.
awesome drumming, and what an awesome part. Never knew meshuggah made stuff flike this.
Thank you very much! Yea, it's kind of a rare thing for Meshuggah to write something like this, but when they do it's usually pretty darn sick 🤘
I'm happy this song gets its appreciation
damn those ghost notes on the snare
I'd also say that the entire build up to the break down in future breed machine is really pretty
True! I got to witness that when Meshuggah played in Partille here in Sweden just a month back. Really great stuff!
this was the correct choice
My fav groove of all
