As a diehard Meshuggah fan, I would like to make a statement. Troy was created a new alternate ending for 'Stengah.. With a little 'Electric Red' twist. The result of drinking coffee with a lot of 'Shuggah.
And I should add, that that cue bar prior to the main loose section at 0:43 was just what the song needed in my opinion, much better than the original one with constant rhythm.
Troy, why did you decid at 0:50-1:04 to hit the cymbals after the actual guitar note? It's then being hit on the quarter note, but that doesn't sound right. I'm curious.
I heard someone say that when a metronome wants to keep time it listens to Thomas Haake. It shows with this song. For a song that's not relatively as fast as like future breed machine or the demon's name is surveillance or even bleed, it sure is complex.
While I really enjoyed your other covers like Happy and such, it's really nice to see you keep on going with Metal and more importantly Meshuggah :] Great cover as always
Same here. First Meshuggah song I ever heard about 7 years ago now. I was learning guitar and was looking for bands that used extended range guitars. May the Swedes live long and make us all grateful for having ears.
As a diehard meshuggah fan (as written below), i just want to say this is a veeery fucking brilliant cover. You nailed the song, you nailed the ghost notes, the cymbals, and its good to hear your own ideas in this song. Now i have to watch it ten times more.
Awww The ending beat on the toms is one on my favorite Meshuggah parts for limb separation.. I like what ya did in lieu but man.. I love the last tom beat.
Troy, I'm a huge fan of your drumming - you obviously really take your time learning all the nooks and crannies of the grooves and patterns and it's really refreshing to see that you're willing to share all this with us fellow musicians! Meshuggah are one of my favourite bands and you really do their songs justice! Much love from the UK! P.S. Would love to see you cover some Chimp Spanner songs, particularly The Mirror from At The Dream's Edge!
Troy, I've always had trouble with the fill at 3:30, I am educated in reading music and I was wondering if you could message me the general pattern of that fill. It's the only part I can't get right! Thank you, you are a huge inspiration.
didnt think this song was so tricky until i watched this vid. i mean i can get the non pedal grooves fine, on the hat and snare but when youre doing 8ths on hat and having to remember the weird kick shit that gets tricky. but i love it.
It's easy if you remember that there are repeating patterns within the phrase that don't always stick to 2 and 4. In fact with Meshuggah songs they almost never do
So sick. Would love to see you attack the snare just a touch more, that's one of the things that makes Steve Judd so rad, he puts every ounce of intention into every single snare hit to push things forward and extract every bit of aggression from a groove and it definitely translates. Great work mate.
Awesome cover. I really like the liberties you took, sounded really good. My favorite part was probably the guitar solo background, so full of trickery :D
This is the result of jamming to a certain song for many years I guess. I notice that the way Troy plays feels quite different from Tomas, it's nice to hear.
Nice job. A pleasure to watch as always. I did feel you added a couple things that isnt in the studio release of that track but who can blame you... i bet that is a blast to play :-)
Man! I have always wanted to play this song. Now I have great example:) You are awesome. Is there any paper (pdf) version of this beats? One of the hardest meshuggah songs to play for me. Even the beginning is rediculous. What polyrythm is on hi-hat against china there? And what about these ghost notes on snare? Man! Just fantastic!
Excelent as always! I'm a guitarist and electronic music producer, but your covers makes me wanna buy a kit and get good at the drums. My suggestion for next video: Marrow or Swarm from Koloss , AAL's The Woven Web or maybe a medley from Sol Niger Within.

Damn! This was 3 years ago!
Shiiiiit.
Damn! This was 2 years ago!
5
damn, you commented this 3 years ago!
Damn this was 3 years ago!
The ghost notes always gets me...
2:30-2:40 that is one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard
What is that, quintuplets on the china?
Attention to detail is insanely good. There are so many clever nuances. I really enjoyed this! No such thing as too many Chinas haha
The drum transcript is free you just have to sign up to my site! Cheers

amjan It's just the slide in of the guitar that you are actually hearing. All fine! ;-)
Yes, you can always, pour some 'shuggah on me.
Tyler Cox Goteem!
One of the most technical songs to ever be released for drummers, mad respect for this.
You are literally the only TH-cam drum cover-er I like.
Drums only version: Meshuggah - Stengah (Drums Only Version) by Troy Wright
Every time I see his video I get a felling I should really hit the gym... then the video ends and I am back to old me xD
These are the moments when i get truly relaxed, listening to Meshuggah :)
Facts
Like I'm super relax in the song straws pulled at random
I heard someone say that when a metronome wants to keep time it listens to Thomas Haake. It shows with this song. For a song that's not relatively as fast as like future breed machine or the demon's name is surveillance or even bleed, it sure is complex.
the new album slays fucking amazing "clockworks" is unbeliveable
That was the most fucking intense drum cover I've seen in my entire life.
So far, 22 non-drummers have watched this video. This guy shows an unreal level of talent and dedication.
While I really enjoyed your other covers like Happy and such, it's really nice to see you keep on going with Metal and more importantly Meshuggah :]
Great cover as always
You're the man Troy.
Same here. First Meshuggah song I ever heard about 7 years ago now. I was learning guitar and was looking for bands that used extended range guitars. May the Swedes live long and make us all grateful for having ears.
There's no telling how many times I've seen this video. I love your spin on this song, it's really awesome. Great cover.
Spectacular!!
1:44 is one of my favorite Meshuggah drum riffs of all time!
My last words are:
"FUCKING AWESOME COVER AND THE PLAYABILITY IN THE DRUMS IS INCREDIBLE"
This song looks so tricky. Not fast, just tricky.
Good job!
Great and sounds great too. Glad you're making videos again.

Youre so accurate! Simply astonishing!
Awww
The ending beat on the toms is one on my favorite Meshuggah parts for limb separation.. I like what ya did in lieu but man.. I love the last tom beat.
If I'm counting it correctly, I'm pretty sure it's an 11 over 4 polyrhythm.
That was a sick fill at 3:30
Absolutely beautiful performance !
That was so sick! definitely the best cover of Stengah, the embellishments were well done!
best cover ever...original, dynamic, love it!
This is a whole 'nother level of mastery. Kudos, man.
Yes finally back to metal! This one was fucking great. Your technique is just inspiring
I like how Troy keeps his hi-hats going when he's not playing it in every song...something I can't do even if I tried!! Keep on drummin bro!!🤘🏾👍🏻
I love Meshuggah and you always fuckin kill it! Awesome job and great tones as always. Well done!
great job. i am learning this song now and the transcription has made it a lot easier!
Love your ghost notes.

Troy, I've always had trouble with the fill at 3:30, I am educated in reading music and I was wondering if you could message me the general pattern of that fill. It's the only part I can't get right! Thank you, you are a huge inspiration.
This is the best cover I've seen. Amazing!

When Thomas Haake is ill, they can call you for the drumming part.
You're amazing man. Just amazing.

How can someone dislike this?

you're jiving so hard!!! Well done sir!
Great drumming
Hey Troy, if you can, could you please do a full cover of Spasm? Loving the videos, you're a phenomenal drummer man!
Oh damn, I just read your comment below saying your cover of Spasm was blocked. That's a shame :(
SICK COVER-AMAZING-I wish the sm57 Snare mic would pic up the ghost notes a TAd more.....
Tasty drum rolls I don't remember from the album!
Awesome cover
Awesome cover. I really like the liberties you took, sounded really good. My favorite part was probably the guitar solo background, so full of trickery :D
Great cover. Glad to see your Pridgen Sticks as well :)

Soo mmuch awesome! Great improve

I mean, honestly, even if it's not note-for-note, it's still pretty freakin' great.
Excelent as always!
I'm a guitarist and electronic music producer, but your covers makes me wanna buy a kit and get good at the drums.
My suggestion for next video: Marrow or Swarm from Koloss , AAL's The Woven Web or maybe a medley from Sol Niger Within.
