One of my favorite rhythmic tricks I've taken from Meshuggah is to a use a section with 2 bars of 7/4 followed by one of 2/4, which equals 16 beats. You then superimpose a 4/4 groove with the snare on 3 on top of that and the whole thing resolves every 4 bars, so you can headbang the entire time. \m/

I'm not a drummer nor do I have any music theory knowledge but I have immense appreciation for drumming. When I was a kid/teenager I noticed how drums could change the feel of a song and effectively fuck it up. Lars Ulrich, as most "metal" or "hard rock" persons could probably attest to, was the first person I noticed doing, albeit perhaps not so great. But the take-away being I could identify with bringing the feel down to a rhythmic level and putting stronger emphasis on certain parts and letting others breathe more to change the feel. I don't know what I'm saying anymore, but I think you probably get it?haha

I find adding millions of ghosts notes into an already complicated pattern fairly hard, then Haake keeps the 8th note hi hat pulse going whenever he doesn't have to use double bass pedals so it's not easy stuff to play and the latest stuff like Bleed and so on gets even harder.

In my experience, jazz drummers make THE BEST death metal drummers. I was in a lot of lack-luster metal bands that didn't go anywhere until in one of them, we got a jazz drummer who pushed our music to the next level. A good jazz drummer will force the guitarists to grow in their rhythmic abilities. Working with jazz drummers improved my abilities on rhythm guitar and bass guitar dramatically.

I've been a musician and a metalhead my whole life and first heard Meshuggah about 16-17 years ago. I recognize that they are amazing musicians, especially Tomas, but I've never been able to get into them. I've tried so many times, but their music is just terribly boring and repetitive. They suffer from the same thing that Tool's new album does: very few hooks/catchy riffs, and no vocal lines that stand out. I'm always asking myself, "ok, when is something different going to happen?" Just 'cause a song is difficult to play doesn't mean it sounds good. If i'm looking for something with this sort of really heavy and mechanized sound, I'll take SYL or Gojira any day.

And after we were like all in shock. None of us could really say we liked it. One thing we all said and agreed on was how intensely, insanely difficult their music really was. We all eventually grew to like their music over time, just out of the pure respect of how they do what they do. My exact words back then were, "I don't know if I like it, but they are the best at it!"

Which Grooves is about the best way to describe their music, grooves that move around a 4/4 back beat 🤘

4:34 is the most badass intense breakdown I've ever heard in my life. BRUTAL!!!!!

Your appreciation for music is very refreshing as is your knowledge. Subbed.

You have to go see them live. It’s an amazing experience.

Best light show i've ever seen too! Saw them with Animals in Cinci a few years back. Polyrhythm heaven.

The light show is cool, but I'm glad I got to see them before they got old and lost their energy.

If you just discovered Meshuggah - then you missed a lot! They have been doing it since 1993, and every album is a new masterpiece. Every time they are pushing the limits of what can be played. My favorite would be Catch 33, and if you ever get to it the best songs would be "In death is life/in death is death" and "sum". I heard them live couple of years ago and they are live even better than on a recording. Just perfect. Everything played to a click.

This is the best reaction on YT sir. From a retired metal drummer and old meshuggah fan. First time hearing this song as well. 👍🏻👍🏻

I finally got to see them live this year. Crazy lit!!!

I think you would appreciate the drumming from a band called Opeth "Eternal Rains Will Come" and "Deliverance" are great!

So I watched the Bleed reaction before this. And the difference in the reaction is pretty vivid. For some reason these reaction videos make people appreciate metal. :D

"This guy is a fucking machine" exactly what I say every time I hear him play.

The drummer had an educational show on state owned television in Sweden. I'm not even a drummer, but damn that show was fucking amazing.

No, that's Morgan Ågren.

YESS Meshuggah ! You should do Fleshgod Apocalypse - Francesco Paoli - The Violation - Filmed at DNA Lounge Francesco is an absolute machine.

Thomas (at least used to) teach poly rythmics at university in Stockholm

So cool to see you enjoying this band so much! :D

Tomas Hakee is not human his timing is like a machine.

Please react to Meshuggah - Dancers To A Discordant System

I’d like to hear your thoughts on Animals as Leaders

I second this

Jazz drummer for the win. Beginning of the rabbit hole here. I enjoyed finding their earlier thrashy stuff first and evolving into this. Beautiful journey.

I get goosebumps at least 8 times whenever I listen to this song

I dare you to tell Thomas he "botched" the flam to his face :P
