Do Not Look Down is my favourite song from Meshuggah's new album Koloss. It's a very groovy, heavy piece and really enjoyable to play. With this cover I really wanted to play Tomas's performance note for note. There are so many well placed accents and crashes throughout the entire song and I did my best not to miss any of them. It was very easy to play my own fills and add my own crashes but again I wanted to play exactly what I heard. I set up another set of hats under the ride to solely play open in the various sections so I could bounce around on the main hats with my foot to really sit in the groove. This made the kick pattern slightly harder as it was then to be played all on the right foot.
Hope you all enjoy as much as I have! Feel free to contact me on facebook with any questions.
Cheers Troy Wright

the very prospect of stomping the quarter notes while playing meshuggah terrifies me. great job
why? theres ALWAYS a pulse in every meshuggah song, that's kind of what they're all about...
Yep. Always groovy, even with blastbeats. I dont listen that kind of music, but Meshuggah stand out for me. They always swing you no matter what.
Just start doing it, it's the best way to keep in time and count where you actually are in a track. It's a constant natural click and should be something you work towards with most music you play.
Not everyone nails the feel and groove...
you did.
fucking brilliant!
Don't let the 'metal' tag confuse you, the genius of Meshuggah can be heard from 3:08 to 3:55. Killer groove, killer riff and nothing fancy from Fredrik, just the perfect notes (guitar solo, sort of) complimenting the entire thing.
One of my favorite M tunes.
***** I agree, I love this part, it is so epic. Goose bumps!
***** Yeah, it's Groove Metal.
***** man i love that part, fucking amazing. i love these chilled out, atmospheric parts with chilled solo guitar. reminds me of catch 33 a lot. :)
+Yo BroMan I prefer the 3:56 groove tho!
4/4 backbeat over a 13/16 rhythm for 19 repetitions with a 9 16th note tail to bring it full circle at 16 bars
It's a pleasure and a joy to watch you play man! You groove to these complex rythms with such ease. I'm a guitar player, and your videos have helped me alot to grasp the rythmic concepts of many Meshuggah songs. "Do Not Look Down", is hands down the grooviest song of the past decade, and one of my favourite 'shuggah tracks in a long time even though I do rate the vast majority of their stuff highly.
I would love to see you play something from Catch 33. Maybe "In Death is Death" and "In Death is Life" as one track?
No Matter wich song he's covering, his snare always sounds exactly like the original one ... or even better :D
that groove...
the intro to this song always gives my chills, when the drums lock in. ugh
The fact that you keep doing 8th notes with your left foot through the whole song is quite amazing. I don't know why I pointed that out, but it's just a sign that you have an amazing control over your body while playing the drums.
Superb playing, watched this for the thousandth time & still amazes me.
The opening riff/rhythm gets me every time... i love the lyrics too
I watch you for like 3 years now and man I'm still amazed for your work you've done into your drumming.
You're one of those drummers who does have the sound in the hands-groove-drums.. I should call it "You are the drums" :D
I've always enjoyed the fact that you're keeping the groove with the hi hat.... that's like... Holy cow it's just amazing.
Great job as always!
Greetings from Poland :)
Effin impressive dude. Time signature nearly impossible to follow. Incredible
The time is straight 4/4. You can Bob your head through it like a hip hop track
@@GingerDrums no it’s not straight 4/4
@@GingerDrums 17/16 over 4/4
This is good! one of meshuggah's simpler ones, but has the essence of the band coming through in it vividly. First time I've heard this song but this guy plays it well! I love those cymbals man, great combo.
Dan, those Legacy's... so good. Always a pleasure watching you crush these tracks.
I can;t get over how much i love the sound of those drums and cymbals. Pearl and Sabian for life
This is so well done man! Such a groove this song has, and yet that kick pattern just twists my brain up. Glad I found this cover, now to watch all your others!
Thanks a lot mate. Glad you're enjoying my vids!
Another fantastic cover from Mr. Wright. Keep em comin.
i think i get more excited when i see excellent covers by good musicians such as yourself than i do from listening to the original recording.
Top stuff Troy
Incredible! Can't stop watching this!
Probably one of your best covers!
This song is 100% groove, I love it. Excellent cover.
Damn dude, so sick. What I love most about your videos is you can tell how much fun you're having playing the songs. And by "playing the songs" I mean "absolutely destroying the songs".
Cheers from TX, USA!
whenever I'm feeling down or need motivation with drumming i watch your videos and get really happy

i want to thank you on behalf of drummers everywhere for these lessons
Great drumcover. Congrats from Portugal...
knocking out my favourites first!
The only other drummer out there who can capture the Meshuggah groove!!
serious? i hope you've seen all his videos and teachings. He is a great drummer for his age, and he's making quite the name for himself in the drum world honestly. Very precise and creative drummer, and he knows his shit well.
Keep up the good work Troy, I love seeing your video's and teachings and enjoy your enthusiasm in teaching people, and I LOVE how you show something that can help us less accomplished drummers achieve the beat you are teaching (i.e. your bleed-meshuggah vid).
Tricky song and awesome cover!
superb work.
Dude, that's insanely epic. All bow before Troy Haake Wright !
Like all your covers, this is not only quite badass but also extremely helpful (especially seeing your playing from multiple angles). Great cover, great song. Do "Swarm" next, would love to see it!
Love your Work!
Amazing playing as usual!
My god this is was beautiful man.. Your drums sound so nice!
So I had two tabs open, and even though I was paying attention to the music, I totally forgot that it was a drum cover! Well done, Troy!
They probably thought that groove is amazing!! :D So well done!
Love your playing man, groovy as fudge!
that ride sounds sick when it's crashed. solid cover as always man!
0:30 -I love this intro opening fill !
This is a badass band. You play this perfectly
amazing! love those cymbals so much :)
awesome groove man, you're an inspiration!
Holy shit! Fantastic work!
MOTHER OF DRUMS.

3:08 all the song waiting for that moment, so epic!
Brutal and perfect. My favourite from the album is "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion".
Bruh, you're skills on the drums are mad. 🤙
Damn. Certainly a very groovy song, and it looks like you enjoyed playing it. Keep up the covers, man. :D
