[@thrasher2809]

Those rolls you sneak in at 2:32 and 2:47 are ridiculously wonderful

[@MDXDMusic]

[@Dylandamonte]

Ridiculously great cover. Love the fade out too. Makes me believe you have been killin that main grove for a year and a half straight, no breaks

[@timmmmkay]

Sounds simple but extremely complex

[@joshuasalgado4694]

The beauty of Meshuggah.

[@taffbrigade6429]

Somehow Tomas managed to train his left hand to constantly play offbeat ghost notes when it's not doing anything.

[@hhansen599]

Beautiful kit. Great cover

[@nausicaaseinen188]

Such an amazing drummer...killer mix, every part of the kit is heard easily. This is so smooth.

[@samganci6305]

Excellent job man. Liked the subtle little extras as well. Keep bossin' it.

[@vietnow4611]

I love his improvised fills, they sound really cool

[@SmackemYackem]

Dude this is so sick. Your drum mix is so tight and just satisfying sounding hahaha. Really digging the 60fps camera too! keep the covers comin man!

[@LydianMK13]

That was killer!! Awesome job, my dude 🤘🏻

[@damienshred5966]

Man, that snare... SICK!

[@mtxrules]

Awesome! That snare sounds great, hell the whole kit sounds amazing. Great work!

[@mkflores1]

Solid work

[@kalmiur]

flawless victory!

[@SS-us8zs]

excellent, love how you are far more prominent in the video mix than the og track too.

[@izreor]

such a good mix on the kit, real heavy sound, i love that your drumming has your own personal nuances in the cover, really good shit imo

[@alexhek]

Awesome job man! Your drums + cymbals sound perfect

[@oscarnovoa7445]

[@RobertBernalDrums]

WOW!!! GREAT Job man! Very clear and solid!

[@matthewcliffe3309]

Must have watched this about 10 times, awesome work bro.

[@iQuincyboy]

[@joeldrummerjeschke]

Killing it as always!

[@spiralout7110]

well done!!

[@oick69]

You killed it man, Awesome job!

[@WhirlwindDrums]

The mix is really REALLY GOOD!! That snare is perfect

[@tayl0424]

You remind me of Halpern. Minus the deep V neck... Awesome drumming. Very impressive.

[@GoldsCovers]

Phew. That was refreshingly tight

[@kerripace]

Nice Job Brent! I'm trying to learn this now. Wish me luck. Maybe I'll get a video up one of these days.

[@Zhaggysfaction]

Meshuggah is so fun to listen to especially the drums because Haake is a beast. And those who cover it, it's sort of a test to see how tight pocket the drummer has. You got it pretty good. If I can make a request that you'd cover Soul Burn and/or "I", I'd be so happy. I know "I" isn't the most appealing song to cover and it's would take alot of work to do it. But I like it cause it's the odd ball song in their catalogue and it has some huge riffs/parts in it.

[@Zhaggysfaction]

***** Yeah that is actually true. Haake never even played it in the studio as a drum machine was used. And indeed they've never played it live. I heard a long time ago in an interview when asked about "I" they did say "Never say never" but that it's very very unlikely that they'll ever play it live. They sort of didn't really care about that song for some reason and it would be so huge undertaking that they just won't do it at least now. But they said you never know but it would need something special to happen that they would consider it. That's also one that thing that intrigues me. It's so huge that they won't do it so it would be extra special if someone else would. Definitely one of my favourites from them.

[@Zhaggysfaction]

***** Oh awesome! I definitely wanna see it :) I would guess that this is sort of similar to Bleed as it has same kind of repetitive drum patterns etc. Although "I" is definitely on the next level of difficult. All I can say is good luck :)

[@BetoPerretta]

Check out my take on Soul Burn, the audio is not the best though but you get an idea.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baC7nZ9-nZynl7c

[@egkeagle8520]

2:37. That is the hardest part of the song for me lmao.

[@WinstonFowlerDrums]

This is sickkkk. awesome sound and playing man

[@FrumpyPumpkin]

Love the intensity man.

[@michaelvick3765]

Amazing job, dude. Great setup, too.

[@HenriNiemi]

Great job! I liked how you incorporated your on fills in to the song :)

[@Anton_Drummer]

Dude, this cover is awesome! :) Working on this song at the moment, the solo section is nasty haha! But you nailed it, and I love that you added some personal flavor with the fills etc. Great job!

[@Adamski986]

Great drumming, you look surprised!

[@dannycomellas]

Phenomenal

[@wussly813]

Great job man. That kit sounds huge!

[@AmadoJGarcia]

I KZbin searched this simply from watching the Wolf of Wall Street goes metal video. Lmao, but dude. This is sooo good!! Super nice foot control. Great cover!!

[@danielaspillagaborquez4883]

love it !

[@tempometal]

Wow mis respetos! Fabulous...

[@skzybuddahhm]

it was done well. thumbs up dude.

[@soderlind81]

ahh morning coffie and this. Good start on this day! :)

[@Uaarkson]

What I love about this video is your ghost notes. Most drummers play those way too loud and it takes away from the heavy syncopation with the guitars. You’re one of the few I’ve seen that actually play the ghost notes at the right volume.

[@drewbocop]

excellent

[@SuperPebkac]

1:42 Mike Portnoy is it you?

[@x0scimy0x]

You are incredibly talented bro! Keep up the good work.

[@dylanr4718]

Best one on KZbin

[@SOAD498]

Fantastic job bro! I like how on some of the double bass parts you alternate R L L R, I thought that was really interesting 🤘

[@familianiepechi]

Awesome man!

[@dougkindt7104]

God I love this guy

[@simplebob100]

Sick skills dude! Very impressive

[@_marlon]

You killed it bro!

[@ThatKiDwiththeDrums]

Killed it, mix sounds great dude!

[@diegocarrasco6417]

nice cover!

[@morpheusdokis175]

perfection

[@Gasb92]

Killer. And gorgeous setup too.

[@my_name_ryan]

So sick

[@vccowboy8969]

The golden snare is sick

[@sinborn41214]

I'm scared to play my O-zone too much, it's so thin! Very nice.

[@danilo_os]

Amazing ! record more songs :D

[@AslanW]

That fill at 0:58 made me replay that part over and over. That was a fucking sweet fill my dude holy shit

[@holyday888]

Too many people do Meshuggah drum covers with weak sounding mixes and kits that aren't tuned like Thomas'...you are not one of those people, awesome job!

[@Tres-0-]

nailed it dude

[@tonyhbt9072]

Nice cover

[@southofheaven4321]

man that kit is beautiful,, do more metal covers,, \m/

[@shizzlepecks]

This is dope

[@shizzlepecks]

the head bang is real in this grove

[@KryptonLantern97]

love this cover!! o.o

[@macdrummer4984]

awesome man !!!

[@olelorenzen9063]

That snare!!!!! Fucking Christ on a jetplane!!!

[@twitchrareswedishki11errabbit]

JESUS dude, cleeean!

[@IzhakIb]

so sick dude

[@WeWantYouToStay]

2:26 my left hand can never follow this pattern

[@PeX218]

It’s not too complicated, just a little. Try to read the snare drum pattern separately from the other pieces of the drum kit. You will see how easy can be.

[@kenricdurst6264]

Try covering the band Car Bomb's stuff. It's insane! Bet you could pull it off tho! Great work!

[@SandraupaChannelIDN]

bro what type of your puma shoes ?? im really really like it

[@misanthropy6690]

Dude that fucking minifill at 1:42 was just beyond sick. Did you improvise that or what?

[@deedawg71]

This makes me feel the feel only drummers feel.

[@5ta51C]

respect

[@AllenAndersonTaylor]

great job man!!!! looks fucking tough.

[@ethtt]

Transcriptions??? Can you post them please?? :) :)

[@2Chaoslord]

You're insane dude

[@DeLL116]

....got the Halpern head nod goin on, eh?

[@Fezzent]

You're a beast

[@HeyNoah]

Fuckin flawless!! Love this dude!

[@BlackenedDrummer]

[@grantoehmler1538]

Nathan Magnuson Missin the mystical V

[@Moozart]
