[@BimTalch]

Tomas is somehow able to play these amazing drum parts all while looking like he's in a long line at the bank

[@Milinthrak]

+Tim Balch I laughed so hard.

[@doughboi007]

+Tim Balch and as though he has to use the bathroom. He keeps squinting...

[@fuzzfire]

+Tim Balch I think he has to do it to focus on all the offbeats with his feet, but none the less I laughed really hard at this.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

lol

[@MrGelzo81]

Gene Hoglan? :D

[@Slabsticktwitch]

This guy puts the shuggah into Meshuggah

[@Mipac13]

The song is called "Marrow" for those of you wondering

[@i_want_my_shuggah]

Underrated as hell if you ask me. Both "Swarm" and "Marrow" happen to be the best songs in *Koloss* yet get to be the most underappreciated of all.

[@DrummerKenz]

@@i_want_my_shuggah100% Swarm and Marrow are my favourite songs too

[@jackhlms3116]

Where the hell's the rest of it

[@DioGhark]

0:53 here we can see Tomas as he reverses reality, humans can't realize his technique, but Tomas has ascended to a divine entity making him able to play 1 billion notes per frame

[@bparisi]

That's what you called a sneaky ghost note.

[@behindthen0thing]

I noticed it first

[@brendanwilliams1875]

Such a tricky set of ghost notes there. Very creative!

[@marcoantonioromeropadilla180]

00:34 There it is again... or before?

[@BLKBRDD]

he hit it so fast it sounded like a computer generated breakcore snare

[@DrPekulier]

His groove is so sick

[@jamesshaffer9501]

the most impressive part of this video is his left foot nailing the quarters and he's fucking all over the place with the rest of this limbs. Love this guy!!

[@NoSubjection1]

amazing how he's able to keep the tempo with his left foot no matter how complex the song is

[@Tomidlo1971]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4nSaqV8ZtiWpLs

[@TheDave000]

I would love to know what goes through his head as he plays this stuff. There is no way you can "remember" parts this complex, I think he just sees patterns in the universe and his muscle memory is so advanced he just turns these patterns into music subconsciously. Whilst playing what is to my ears some of the most aggressive music man has ever created, I would wager he is actually in a mediative state, full of serenity on a higher plane of existence. He is without question on the greatest drummers who ever lived.

[@gabecomstock7251]

He seems like he's in flow state every time he plays. He's so in the zone he doesn't need to think hard about what he's doing, he just does it. Absolutele legend.

[@Alostwanderer88]

I think it's because he's just a really good drummer......it's really cringe how far you're reaching with what you put. 'Patterns in the universe' jesus christ.

[@dlightningz6775]

​@Whyamihere88 just because you don't see them doesn't mean you have to get your panties all crusty.

[@realsirpurr]

In interview he says he zones out completely and thinks about fishing

[@holygroove2]

He looks so relaxed and channels the 4/4 so effortlessly, that it's easy to think this music isn't as complicated as it is. Super heavy, gritty, funky, metal.

[@sufddd]

Damn ... appreciate the skill needed to make your left foot go in a totally different pattern than your right one. While playing ghost notes on such an off-beat riff. While making it look so effortless. Wow This guys is a damn beast

[@xSijnx]

I like the part when he played the drums

[@TheMeatballMen]

My all-time favorite drummer

[@ATOlVlZ]

He's so calm and peaceful, while i go bat-shit crazy practicing the song.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Don't you have to relax to play it in front of anyone else? otherwise it'll come out dead...I was told by Bernard Purdie (Steely Dan) practice slow and relaxed. :)

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

***** how long have you been playing drums?

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

***** you're still not old, though :)

[@pokopiko1942]

can someone make a 205 hours long version?!

[@johannrajan6357]

It's called a loop button.

[@growlandroll]

I don't know why, but as soon as the song starts at 00:03 and the description of the kit appears, it looked that it was describing some kind of cyborg. Which I think Tomas is. I laughed. Then I cried. Now I'm scratching my balls and joining the groove at 01:09 with my head to the left and right.

[@baseball1441]

literally just shit my pants laughing

This is best comment

[@MrRainOfHits]

i can totally understand this feelings, bro! :D

[@EricJh21690]

Haha it's like each one of his limbs has a mind of its own lol he's crazy

[@gospelplayer2]

DemiUrge _ lol is that not normal

[@sethkukel229]

+DemiUrge Is it just me or do a lot of bad drummers like this guy. What you said a lot of people can do, even my year 10 students. He isn't playing a poly-rhythm like Mike mangini or danny carey. It's just doubles or triples. This guy probaly cant even count to four.

[@sethkukel229]

+DemiUrge A real metal drummer that is way better then him is probaly best pick Chris adler. Now he can do the real stuff.

[@ToolManDan82]

He is a sick man. Sick left foot!

[@pizzaanybody]

Song name: Marrow (from the album Koloss). I too have been looking for the name of this song for a long time.

[@marcovortexbohler]

Thank you man I was searching for the title.

[@pastalavista5754]

A proper drummer, using Hi hat foot and ghost strokes - real 4 way co-ordination. I teach so many Metal guys who just don't bother learning how to play the Hi Hat with the left foot. Tomas, you are the real deal! In the main theme he's playing in 7/8 but his Hi Hat foot is playing quarters straight through, sort of like what Vinnie Colaiuta does with Sting.

[@behindthen0thing]

Yeah hes great

[@t3hgir]

left foot hihat work is like the foundation of your timekeeping, atleast that's what I'm becoming aware of

[@genocidalManiac92]

Tomas Haake and Chris Adler are the two best drummers in the world to me, one originated Djent and the other brought metal back so we can enjoy eargasms..

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

I agree, Mario in Gojira is really damn good too.

[@elissonespinal3754]

And Matt Gartska from Animals As Leaders. I love his playing style and his fills are so ... so good!

[@behindthen0thing]

Metal never left

Marrow! Probably my favourite song in the album, it blew me away instantly...

[@stefanofesta6024]

i think tomas is the real game changer in metal drumming in the last 25 years...he's the groovest and most personal metal drummer, a great musician

Best comment I've ever seen in my life

[@TheParkingLotPhilosopher]

This man is in such a daze. His soul just knows what to do. You are the man, Tomas!!

[@iemon7722]

I learned maths from Haake. I work at NASA now.

[@DimoshaTwitch]

XDDD

[@DJBisGOD]

I never get bored watching Tomas play, his technique is amazing. He is up there with the all-time greats of drumming (Buddy Rich, Neal Peart) and has definitely continued the perfection for drums like what the previous drummers done for their era.

[@Desco9111]

This video needs totally non-sequitur thought bubbles appearing over his head. "Huh, I'm hungry." "I wonder what's for dinner..." "Shit that reminds me, I need to stop at the store." "What did I need again?" "Eggs..." "Milk..." "Zucchini..." "Did I leave the stove on?" "...nope" "Zucchini. That's a funny word."

[@bruth6138]

You see the midi port on Tomas's skull? Wicked.

[@gustavlundin1920]

i watch this atleast 20 times a day, no doubt

[@zioziozie]

The World Clock is based on his time

[@davegacke2002]

I've been listening to this band for 20 years and Tomas still laying it down-you don't need to be 300bpm and triggered to be heavy

[@TunnelJumper]

The kicks are triggered. From what I remember, the sample is the attack of a 20" kick and release of a 26".

[@XxAFIRINSDExX]

I still cant believe that Tomas lost to Joey Jordison on Loudwire's best metal drummer poll...

[@SafffOneee]

jj would pretty much automatically win such contests just cos sk has so many more fans

[@Lord_Dranek]

Yeah that was more of a popularity contest rather than one based on skill.

[@davetorres3906]

He make it look so easy, damn, this is some of my favorites drum grooves from them.

[@chal5957]

Tomas Haake would make trash can lids sound good tbh

[@Pan_Handled]

Just a magical experience to watch him play. 25 years in and I’m still in awe. 🙌🙏❤️

only tomas can get away with having only 2 toms and 147 cybals

honestly there's no one outside of danny from tool and portnoy in the metal genre who can create such amazing and mind boggling fills like mr.haake

+ThaTruth223 Carey is a god but Portnoy is overrated. Mangini, Jarzombek, Lang can do those kind of things as well.

[@ThaTruth223]

idk bout portnoy being overrated,and mangini could play portnoy a stuff fill for fill but can't write anything better than portnoy. Lang is easily one of my favorites,dude is super powerful

[@robertoricci3393]

+ThaTruth223 I never understood what Portnoy did so important as a composer like many of his fans say. He has always been a co-writer, so I don't know if he can write a good song by himself. If you're talking about the drum parts, well, i never liked them so much. His solos lack of groove and phrasing, only random strokes at random speed all over the kit. I mean Portnoy is a good drummer and I like DT but he never was a favourite of mine.

[@rastabg23]

Carey isn't entirely human when he is performing, he has secrets that he doesn't tell anybody. I can assure you he isn't alone on those drums.

[@ThaTruth223]

well the last DT album is an exact example on how important portnoy was in the writing process. his play is legendary and he was with out a doubt half if not 60% of the brain in DT.hes technically efficient,his improvition is incredible,he much like hakke/carey are surgeons behind the kit

[@exoticfailure4617]

Do you know why they don't? Is it like the guitar tuning?

[@holygroove2]

@@exoticfailure4617 I believe they have a few things that they consider when they choose what to play live. They pay attention to what the fans respond to, and they also probably consider what's playable live. "I" is not playable live. The Demon's Name is Surveillance is probably not playable live... They also may feel like the recorded song won't sound good live.

The thing I think is so great about Haake is most great metal drummers are so locked in, ahead of the beat, pushing, precise to a fault. And that’s amazing. But he swings and grooves even when playing in 23/16 with his right foot, 12/16 with his left, and 4/4 with his hands. How can a human do that!?
