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.
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

It’s amazing how someone can have a drum “style”. I don’t know time meshugga song but still I recognise it as meshugga. That’s the sign of seriously good musicians! Great cover dude. Lots of love xx
I've never really sat down and focused on what the symbols are doing in this section. Changing symbols every 8 bars on that quarter note makes this 2 minutes of music so refreshing. So pleasing to listen to

I remember everything about the day I bought this when it came out. The emotion, the smell of the air. This song is a masterpiece. Meshuggah is a very special band made up of some very unique and straight up outside the box musicians
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 gotta agree I still cant wrap my head around the groove but i feel it. Listening to this on repeat just to try to figure out how to play the guitar part without tabs
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
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!
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.
Homer: (Wearing glasses) The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side! Man: (From inside a bathroom stall.) That's a right triangle, you idiot! Homer: D'oh! but in music form
That is one beautiful sounding electronic kit and your playing is flawless . Love those ghost notes ….and all the other fancy shit goin on haha I’m a guitarist that knows a tiny bit of drum talk . More of what I just saw please
That's really nice of ya, dude! It's always fun when non-drummers also appreciate what you're creating :D Imma keep uploading, and thank you for commenting!
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

They're called ghost notes for a reason
im pretty sure they completely remove a lot them from the mix actually, I think haake uses them as a time keeping device more than anything
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
@@bl00ber99 exactly, it probably just muddies the mix if they were to keep all his ghost notes, especially in songs like bleed
when I clicked this video, i knew exactly what song you're talking about

Probably one of the best outro they've done so far, with ligature marks
True! I also really liked the end of Abysmal Eye, that shit hits hard
End of stifled is up there too imo

Seemed very repetitive other than the drums. I've heard better. Hyperbole everywhere these days.
@@Dime_time333 incorrect opinion
@@Dime_time333fathomably correct opinion, Meshugga is plain repetitive pseudo-technical wankery only saved by the drumming here and there

ghost notes, dynamics, the hats going to it, groove and pocket. complete win my dude. damn, i need to learn this as well now lol
Thank you very much! You should learn it, its really fun to play once you know it i promise you :)
Good god the groove 😫😫💜💜
Beautiful playing, my drum aficionado itch has been scratched for the day. Thank you
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.
Oh man, that was great. Your ghost notes are incredible, and the 32 notes, wow!
Really nice of ya, John! Appreciate it :)
Dude you nailed this, definately one of my favorite "breakdowns-ish" by them, love straws dude!
