Ex-Drummer LOSES HIS SH*T Reacting to MESHUGGAH - "Bleed"
drop some comments of songs that are a MUST for Austin and I to react to! :) Love you guys!!
Jenny by Nothing More. This is must for two of you. And check the lyrics and information about this song. Ps. Theres a lot of likes under Jenny comment in your previous reaction

Tomas had this to say about Bleed, "There’s underlying patterns that go very long. The challenge of learning that song would be equal to learning all the rest of the songs on the album combined, pretty much. I started rehearsing that in November [of 2006], recorded it in May, and still didn’t really have it down. Even in the recording phase, I could only do it part by part: I didn’t record the whole song through over and over, but instead recorded the first part ten times, the second part ten times, etcetera, so I had a lot of good takes for each part. It’s not until now that I can play the whole song through."
It is truly utterly ridiculous that he can play that at all. Much respect to Tomas
@Branko Gajić Not tendons, nerves. He had a herniated disk, that severely affected the way his right leg functions from a drummers standpoint. And, funfact, this concert, the one in the video, was when he was still under the worst symptoms of it! ANOTHER FUNFACT, this song had always been played towards the end of every Meshuggah live concert ever since it came out! Fuckin perspective, that is!
Playing it is one thing, but creating this beast that pushed him beyond most drummers, is beyond this world! HUGE props to this man.
It’s so insane how he mastered it to the point that he can not only play it live, but to absolutely perfection. Not a single mistake, drop in tempo, nothing. Just perfection, and that includes the rest of Meshuggah. One tiny mistake and the whole songs turns to mush, and yet they play it like soulful machines. They are unbelievable.
Ex drummer
Fun fact: he quit drumming after hearing this song
Hahah. I would also! Damn.

Did you guys realize you were bobbing your heads to different subdivisions?
Polyrythym
Someone once said "Meshuggah-- where 3 guys are headbanging at 3 different speeds...and none of them are out of rhythm."
This/\
They just prove that saying true 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Some people feel it different. Like drugs!
I've listened to Meshuggah so many times, and every time I hear Bleed, I am still like... what the f*&^. It's a technical masterpiece.
hes just nuts in a good way
He had to actually RE learn drums just to play that pattern.
He started with the foot pattern then added the other polyrhythms
He’s nuts
"Used to be a drummer"
Music doesnt let you quit mang.
No it doesn’t. But a wife and kid do 💀

@Lucifer Morningstar amen. I've had ex's who tried to make me quit and "grow up". I quit them.
"CONTROLLED CHAOS"
That's exactly how you describe the monster that is Meshuggah.
it’s how you describe meshuggah and tallah.
"Im a metronome and I play the drums"
Yeah, thats Thomas Haake summed up.
Not even close
Metronomes use Thomas to keep time.
Yes. He always plays it the same. Exactly as it is on the album. Every performance with the same quality, timing and ferocity. That's what makes it so incredible.

I'm a drummer and love playing to rock and metal. Been in bands ect but God damn this guy's footwork is insane, tight and consistent. I nearly put my head through the desk moshing. Awesome double kick work !!!
“It’s like he has 4 different brains for each limb.” Lol awesome description
"...how talented do you have to be to do that?"
Wrong question, my friend. It's conceivable that some long time drummers with the full repertoire of skills could practice this long enough to get it down - the REAL question is "how talented do you have to be to WRITE that?"
It seems like most people get caught up in the performances and miss the REAL talent - that WRITING, son! That's what really pays the bills, that's what really gets the attention; being able to perform some shit like this live is just ICING baby!
[that said, I gotta get back on stage with SOMETHING - I miss it...]
Thomas haake said that he practised so much and even change his drumming technique for this specific song
Agreed 100%.. PS; I find "bleed" to be actually easier to write and play than "clockworks".. IMO, bleed is hard bc of pedals.. Any drummer who played death/black long enough will have pedal control and strong enough left leg to manage this song; its not THAT hard (relatively speaking, of course).. Clockworks has much harder polyrhythm and groove than bleed I find it impossible to play it without a mistake...
Humans would literally not pay or not paying was a choice.
The polyrhythms and changes on most parts of bleed are simpler than a lot of their other songs, but the execution is brutal. The grinding of the kick and the guitars in the intro, along with the steady 4/4 of the snare and hi hat is absolutely destructive and heavy.
Old comment but I read he actually created it with a drum machine, then learned it, and it even took him a long time to master. Lol
Blows my mind even after the zillionth time watching it. It has to be one of the greatest singular drum performances of all time.
both of you need to react to Reptile - Periphery
it'll blow your minds, one of the best songs of this year!
Love ur vids
We need some Waifu Metal man
fancy seeing you here

All That Remains - Six
The solo on that song is TASTY
Pretty much anything with Shannon Lucas is a drummers wet dream. That dude is so talented. Killed it with ATR and killed it harder with The Black Dahlia Murder
Yes please
Chris R Dude Shannon Lucas with TBDM was unreal lmao
@@chairmanofthebored6860 Dude I was going to say the same thing. Shannon is a fucking god.
He is playing polyrythmic in this song, Apperantly took him about 6 months to learn this song since he had to relearn hi entire way of drumming according to himself. Awsome song!
You are correct, he wrote the entire album this song is on in MIDI first and then went back and learnt the entire album!
It took him the same amount of time to learn this song by itself as it did for the other 8 songs off ‘obZen’ combined. 😂
It's actually a polymeter. The bass drum section is 3/4, and the hands play 4/4.
This drummer friend of yours is not really the right kind of drummer you wanna have reacting to this song. I don't think he notices and appreciate the complex patterns and footwork in this song enough. But that's just my opinion.
Black Skeleton most drummers who notice and appreciate those complex patterns and footwork have probably already seen or heard this song 😂
Black Skeleton fucking agreed man
Agree. Ghost notes are like the least noticeable thing about Bleed.
Didn’t even notice he put socks on at the break
Black Skeleton EXACTLY!! Triplets?? Double bass hits? So many time signature changes and Hakke dropping back pockets on the time. Anyone can but a kit, but doesn’t mean you’re a drummer.
did you notice that besides his limbs, he's making different rhythms with his HEAD??? nuts
This song nearly didn't make it because Tomas wasn't sure he could play it. It just speaks to his genius that he nails it live so flawlessly.
Props for the Critical Role Cap :D
Came here to say this! Bidet fellow Critter!
Ditto, good to see more Critters :-)
Bidet indeed
Bidet fellow critters
I was hoping to find a Crit Role shout-out in here somewhere, after seeing the hat.
He's a Critter! We are everywhere... we are Legion
VaenaVanadis I noticed that too! Looked at the logo and said “is that a CR hat?”
LOSES HIS SHIT
"..yea that was pretty cool man"
Horse Radish A bit clickbait-y, right?
@@jen.g. Just a little
If you think that was crazy, you definitely need to react to their song Clockworks. That song makes you question how many brains does he have, and if he's even human
just gonna say, that Critical Role hat he's rocking it is LIT 🔥🔥🔥
Didn't think I'd see CR here. I wouldn't have even noticed the hat if not for your comment. Anyway, much love Crit fam!
React to critical roles new intro and D&D beyound
Pleeeease do the drum cam for Angel Of Death with Dave Lombardo, love to see what Austin thinks :)
Especially the double bass solo!!!
And let's not forget the random "ting" !! 😂😂 awesome solo nonetheless!!
He cant beat The dominator :)
@@isbjornen2306 nor Proscriptor.
The dude was labeled "too heavy and technical for Slayer" by Kerry King lol
You should dive into some more Lamb Of God, Chris Adler is pretty good at that ol' drum set!
chris adler is amazing
Yeah dude, "pretty good" is an understatement.
I second this! It’s too bad he is no longer in the band.
@@camdenhochgesang6554 really? I thought he was just injured or something.
Bill Munny He was. But the band had been performing with a new guy. And about a month ago they tweeted that the new guy(idk his name) was the new Lamb of God drummer. It was very nonchalant and seemed weird that they would casually announce a new drummer like that. Especially since his brother is still in the band. I’ll try to find the tweet.
"I am metronome and i play drums" lol
I saw that part as I read this comment lol
The pattern he's playing with his feet is a "herta" pattern. It's basically a hybrid pattern of a fast pattern followed a slower pattern or vice versa. It took Tomas as much time to play Bleed smoothly as it did to write and play all the other songs on Obzen. He literally had to change the way he played his kick drums. Instead of just hammering the kick drums he had to figure out how to lean back and lightly hit the pedals to get that "roll" pattern in the herta. It took him months of practice before the band was convinced the song could go on the album and be played live...BTW, look up the band "Tallah" and check out the song "We the sad" and / or "Placenta". If you don't listen to both (and every other song they do really), your'e doing yourself a disservice. Also, make sure you read the lyrics, Justin Bonitz is a lyrical genius and possibly a serial killer possessed by some kind of alien demon witch psycho cannibal. I don't fucking know but...yea...just check it out.
First of all: THANK YOU ALEX FOR FINALLY DOING THIS FOR THE HEFNERDS!
Second: Tomas Haake (HOCK-uh) is playing a polyrhythm. The reason is kind of self-explanatory: he plays rolling _32nd_ notes with his feet while his hands play the 4/4 cadence with the snare beat on 3. (You probably knew this.) Tomas is the centerpiece of the band for sure, and it's what makes Meshuggah f%$&ing legendary because the lower guitars play in time with the double bass pedals while Frederick Thordendal (lead guitarist) plays with the cadence. Meshuggah is like a heavy metal symphony, if you will. Better yet, here's a link to the "Bleed" bongo cover so you can see exactly how the double bass parses out: th-cam.com/video/bhPaY1HEjEc/w-d-xo.html
Caleb Flood Actually it’s Horckeh
Mike Manghini is the one who used to play this easy before this song was even written. He used to play this in a more complex level.
@@thatsmeinthepicIt's ackshewally Horton.
Is that man wearing a Critical Role hat!? Respect.
Dj Martin I think it’s a CTR hat.
Yes, Critical Role hat!
He sure is, my friend. CR is top notch DnD.
go for: The Faceless - Planetary Duality - Drum Cam
no-one does Faceless reactions, it's such bullshit, one of the most interesting bands in metal.
@@KHETTIUS Well I only listened their Autotheist Movement 1 & 2 & 3 and it was fucking great. You reminded me that I should check their others songs and albums. Any suggestions?
@@mortred4144 Planetary Duality is the best album they've ever done. Facts.
Bumped in to the band regularly when I worked as bartender in Sundbyberg, Sweden. They are "regulars" and so nice to everyone. Very down to earth and always up for a laugh.
"The whole show I never saw their faces...just strobe lights. The crowd was banging their heads to what he was doing with his hands and the band was doing what his legs were doing"

Clockworks by Meshuggah, and make sure to watch the drum play through video ^^

Yeaaah
Agreed!!!!!!
NdrsOrs great idea!
@@AlexHefner :))
9:49
The moment where Alex's brain shorts out from the sheer awesomeness of the drumming.
"Clockworks" has such better drumming. "Bleed" is awesome and the stamina needed to play that song is crazy
React to Clockworks please! Haake have a video playing that song in the studio. Is insane!
Good choice
He is a freaking beast!
Hell yeah
His right hand on this one!! Casually playing fours while rest of his body is going insane! Man is a machine.
Some of those rhythms from around 3.45 are insane.
A lot of people will judge drumming competency on speed, but that's only a small part of the equation.
What this dude is doing is insane. He has something like 64/64 timing going on, working within that timeframe, but skipping notes/beats at times, and also some stuff that's offbeat within that 64/64, but always metronome type precision *while* also playing something more akin to standard 8/8 timing.
Probably only musicians can truly appreciate the insanity of some of this stuff. It's kinda freakish.
Poly-rhythms are just sick xD
Actually, most of their songs (according to Haake himself) are often times in a standard 4/4, but they just like to fuck with the rhythm within such a simple structure. During the verse parts and the solo, you can hear him pounding out a 4/4 beat with the snare landing on '3'.
@@BBEDrummerAK 64/64 is still sort of 4/4 though, just with more "room" for movement. The "3" in case of 64/64 is just the 48. The "fucking" with the rhythms is just utilizing the extra beats within the timeframe... what might seem like halfway between 1 and 2 in 4/4 is 12 in 64/64 for example.
The hell is 64/64?
@@onis for lack of a more articulate way to put it, same as 4/4, 8/8, etc. but each "beat" is split into 16 or 8 "sub" beats (for 4/4 and 8/8 respectively).
Dude, you are the Johnny Carson of reaction videos. What a great gig you have made for yourself. Love the personality, the feelings you display while listening, and mot of all the jaw drop of incredulity at what you are watching. Such a great program you have created. I am a huge fan. (in case that is not clear by now).
I realise this might be late but, if u really wanna see great drumcam, copy and paste this: Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas (Drumcam) u won't hear much of the music though, this video pumps me up every time I watch it!
I've suggested that video of Nils the day I've watched this reaction.Too bad we will never see his reaction to one of the best extreme drummers in our time and his extremely light speed drumming❤
I see Austin is a critter(Critical Role, d&d show on Twitch and TH-cam) by the hat hes wearing, that's awesome.
Haake pronunciation is “hawk-uh”.
Hey dude if you want to react to more meshuggah they have a drum play through of clockworks as well that would be great for a drummer to react to
Good god that song...
Nostrumwas also great
@@virnalinebrida-sunga7748 exactly what I was gonna say, everyone is requesting clockwork but nostrum is lit
I love how halfway through the song, Alex is like, "WTF am i watching? Is this for real?" and Austin looks exhausted at the end just from WATCHING! LOL Great job, guys! \m/
"lose his shit" most calm react to bleed ever
MESHUGGAH - Clockworks (DRUM PLAYTHROUGH w/ TOMAS HAAKE)

The fact that this man keeps it all in his and doesn't write anything down is mind blowing.

That’s a cool song name , but would be an even better name for a Day Care center!
Ruben Wallace Frying Fishtus - From Pond to Paste
Since he's a drummer have him react to a band called Nile's drummer, dude is insane.
This drummer boy missed all the important stuff, actually.
Noticing ghost notes and prrrta prrrta (Bill Burr) like 3 minutes in but shaking his head during the cooldown?
Ignoring polyrhythms but getting impressed by a cymbal choke?
"You have to be really talented to do that".
No shit. What a conclusion.
Yup ”professional drummer” my ass.
My favorite part was when he was like "he was playing the snares on the and"...... nope, that's a 5 over 4 polyrhythm my boy!
CorndogCrusader yeah but at the end of the day, why the fuck should I care about this guys opinion? Because he sat around and recorded a reaction video with another illiterate douchebag in a kitchen? No. If you’re going to analyze Tomas Haake, come correct or delete your raw bullshit.
If you like drumming so much, please try any of oceans ate alaska! You’ll love it promise! The drummer of OAA is beast!
I agree
Checking them out right now. Listening to hansha.
From First To Last and Enter Shikari inspired...?
Also reminds me of Tracey Ate A Bug

Show him Gene Hoglan playing Skeksis by Strapping Young Lad.
The good ol Atomic Clock.
Almost again has some leg melting drums aswell
The material of the symbols is hella durable, he must need a new set every show.

That drummer is sick.
@@mrkrinkle699 I think you mean (sic) oh fuck wrong band
Alex Bent? He is fucking awesome, he was in Brain Drill and Monumental Torment (Technical Brutal Death Metal bands that play fast as fuck).
Mad respect to the lighting engineer(s) here, those strobes are all in time to his playing. Insane to set that up.
Please react to BTBAM, their song Selkies: the endless obsession is a good start. Their live performance of Extremophile Elite is great too.
You should definitely react to Meshuggah - Clockworks Drumcam after this one, it's insane what Haake can do.
You should totally react to Fleshgod Apocalypse if you want some more insane drumming haha
Makes it crazier when you realize how not very long Paoli was playing for.
Or Archspire.
Haake is a monster, no doubt. I've been playing drums for 50 years, and he still startles me on each new recording.
A classic in the “Drummer doesn’t react” genre
He must see Shadow Of Intent - Malediction
Oldy but a goody. Sultans of swing by Dire straits alchemy live version, Terry williams on the drums is insane and you will love the song too😁

I've been commenting BTBAM songs for months, hopefully we'll get a reaction to them this time
Nice profile picture. Absolutely phenomenal band
@@GarettChamberlin thanks man. I'd like him to react to Periphery once again but I don't think it's gon' happen. Same with Mastodon, BMTH, and some more bands
Maybe some Wintersun, and Master Kai Hahto drumming for him? Wintersun - Time (live@sonic pump studios) Remastered version 🤘
what’s ironic is that bleed isn’t even the most complex song they’ve written
Then what is
It's been my personal experience, that every one of the greatest drummers I've ever seen play live look like they're not even trying. Like, they're just sitting there doing their thing, making it look easy as hell, without a care in the world. Saw Gene Hoglan with Strapping Young Lad back in the day... saw Tim Alexander with Primus on Ozzfest '99... and they were both the same way... like it was nothing special. But it was fuckin' amazing. All great drummers pull it off like this. Like, "Eh, I'm just fuckin' around, having fun. Hope ya like it." :D
But you could see that his concentration was 300% throughout the performance...
Didn't it take Thomas 11 months to learn this song himself after they even wrote it? Its wild to have it so down that he can groove with ghost notes the entire time.
The ghost notes might actually help him stay in the groove. Not necessarily audible to audience, but makes the patterns match in his head.
@@JariJuslin Yeah Thomas confirmed this in an interview it's to help him keep time :)
He’s doing “Herdas” on the bass drum
aka Ferdas.
Is that portageez?
Meshuggah is a rhythmic dream, every instrument including the vocals are used in a rhythmic way. A better song to react to would be "Do Not Look Down" it's more spacious therefore easier to digest.
He’s hitting on the 3. And his body is practically playing 2 different songs. Lolol.
It took Thomas Haake (the drummer) 3 months of only playing this song to be able to track it in the studio! He said this himself in an interview.
10:28 the disbelief on y'all face is priceless
Another good one to do with him is Eloy Casagrande - The Manipulation of Tragedy (Sepultura).
He needs to hear ticks and leaches by tool it was rated the number 1 drum performance ever
What up Austin!! Welcome back!
damn! the speed and precision of those kicks.
I think i read somewhere he was getting over a foot injury when they filmed this....no joke
And a hernia in his back which paralysed his sciatic nerve and forced him to entirely re-learn his foot technique because his right foot was no longer dominant.
@@richardharrold9736 holy...?! What a desaster! This must be so damn frustrating!
@@shad1990 yeah, but Haake overcame it because the dude is a badass.

I saw 'em life yesteday at Alcatraz metal fest in Belgium ;)
I love that the band is so complex and technical that you can barely comprehend it but the riffing and drumming are so groovy and catchy.
3:53 *Alex hears a voice in his head saying: yooo*
His kick was in a “Herta” pattern. Basically ... . ... . ... . ... . Obviously the exact pattern changes throughout the song.
