Meshuggah - Bleed - Tomas Haake - Wincent Drumsticks

Tomas Haake is showing off his incredible skills in this Drumorientated video. Wincent Drumsticks are proud to have him as an endorsee!

[@ownageyeahful]

every metal drummers dream is to make it even one minute into this song and not be dead

[@Kelsterperson1]

+ Ownageyeahful Yeah, that's pretty accurate haha I seriously can't even get a few seconds in without fucking up the rhythm. A true masterpiece of a beat, for sure.

manuel luz I understand the feeling, I remember when Korn was a new thing and I had been heavy into the bass at the time. I remember thinking if ever met Fieldey there would be no circumstance under which I would tell him that I played bass! 🤦

[@skullkrusher4418]

I feel like a lot of people don't appreciate just how tight the whole band (and not just Thomas) has to be to pull off this song live. Any miniscule deviation from the correct rhythm would be instantly noticeable and make the whole song/riff sound like mud. The fact that that NEVER happens in their performances is mind blowing. Absolutely incredible musicians.

Gating helps with that. They probably have the click in their ears as well.

[@drinfernodds]

One of my favorite things Haake's performance has done is get veteran drummers from all types of drummers in awe at what he's pulled off in this song. It's Haake's magnum opus as a drummer.

[@andrewdotcom6770]

imagine how good it must feel to be able to play this flawlessly

[@WillJM81280]

Imagining is all the rest of us can do

[@davidlean1060]

According to Tomas, the song was so difficult to get right, it almost didn't make the record. It took him as long to get this song right as it the the rest of the record combined! So don't fret, Tomas doesn't hide the fact he worked his butt off to make the song as flawless as it sounds.

[@andreasvandieaarde]

I doubt he thinks he plays it perfectly, someone at that level of play is sure to have some perfectionism mentality in there despite being truly amazing

[@jamesrara]

Ankle pain.

[@adambartlett1458]

they spent 6 months mastering the technique on this song for obZen. It took them that long to master all the other songs combined. That's how they do this. They gave up six months of their life for one song. That's how. That's pure fucking dedication.

[@WalyB01]

Google Prokofiev sonata no 6. To play something like that takes quite a while and as you are posting at Meshuggah, it is kinda metalish, especially the last part vivace. But agreed bleed is definitely a technically difficult song.

[@overwhelmed1908]

Adam Bartlett And for that dedication Bleed is their most known song.

[@Daniel.Miranda]

[@kd-hl6qz]

The entire song, besides the solos and tonal changes, is thomas's deed

[@jrahhk8223]

This tune has rightfully become legendary for that main drum pattern but don't sleep on the solo section. There's 60 seconds of tightly cyclical rhythm guitar that doesn't *quite* repeat itself and Haake nonetheless kicks out every minuscule variation of the riffage. Just an unreal band.

The worst part of the whole thing is how calm, cool and collected he looks throughout the entire song "Its no big deal, just playing bleed, just like any random Sunday afternoon"

[@shredd5705]

To play it this accurately, you can't be struggling anyway. You have to own it, and be actually able to play faster too. Then you just dial it back, to a comfortable level. Only way to play as cleanly as this, with no mistakes. If he was on his actual limit of speed, there would be mistakes

[@justind4096]

He has written the lyrics to many of their songs, and if you take a read while you listen (or while you aren't listening, it is engaging either way), you will see his phenomenal eloquence come to life.

I used to date a girl who would constantly fall asleep anytime I would put metal on. About the heaviest band she'd listen to and stay awake for is A7X, but she legit was a Stan for them. They aren't heavy, I know, but they have some groovey melodies and thrashy riffs that tend to nod her out otherwise. Even at live concerts at metal venues, metal music for her is the equivalent of counting sheep. I honestly wish I had something that made my brain relax... I'm pretty jelly right now.

I generally listen to Meshuggah almost...recreationally... When Im actually pissed or sad Id rather go for more chaotic and wild stuff like Converge f.e.; but for working; focusing; and getting into a trancelike state of efficiency; f.e. when drawing with high precision for long amounts of time; Meshuggah is perfect.

Being a drummer of 36 years, I've heard of Meshuggah but I've never actually listened to their music until now. This blew my mind how tight Tomas and the guitar players are. Their music and singer remind me somewhat of my favorite metal band Pantera. Meshuggah has a new fan today! Well done.

[@Krimson5pride]

Demiurge reminds me of walk. I think meshuggah did start as thrash but later pantera influenced the scene, they started focussing on groove

[@1dudecrush]

My favorite Meshuggah joke goes something like this: The Swiss were proud to be at the cutting edge of science when they made the Large Hadron Collider, a machine capable of smashing particles together at nearly the speed of light. Such a feat of precision and downright space-time altering technology was heretofore unheard of, truly a modern marvel. We had begun to glimpse cosmic forces come within humanity's grasp.

[@BillBraskyy]

Every time I hear Meshuggah it takes me back to my time in Iraq. My tank commander had a playlist that had like well over 1000 songs on it that was ALL metal and Meshuggah was one of the bands that we'd listen to frequently. It was really cool too how the music played through our headsets because the way it is done, the crew can hear the music clearly but if someone else hit us up on the radio, they wouldn't be able to hear the music, which is what you want because technically there's not supposed to be shit like music playing on a military vehicle, especially when you're down range (in country) because it's seen as a distraction, but it always kept us pumped and alert, but you also have other TC's and higher ranking soldiers at the TOC (headquarters) who didn't like that shit at all.

I think it's the real percussive sound of the guitar that sir that just makes it sound like hes drumming so much faster than he actually is it altogether creates the superfast rhythm that's even faster than what they're actually playing and that's what's really trippy about this song in particular They're just excellent at being in sync

[@adamnilsson566]

@@JesterWDEIt hasn’t been done live since around 2012. Their old light show was impressive as fuck and yes, it was done live, but once they started using in ear monitors and playing to a click track (notice how there’s no count in at the start of the song, they all just start playing in perfect timing) they could have an even more intricate light show that has much more going on that I think would be impossible to do manually for one person, or at least difficult enough that mistakes would happen frequently.

[@Remykapel]

@@adamnilsson566 sometimes mistakes is what makes it rad..

[@adamnilsson566]

@@Remykapel for sure! I just think Meshuggah are such perfectionists and they wanted to push it further without pushing their light guy too hard. The mistakes I’ve seen Meshuggah do are few and far between, but it’s always hilarious when it happens. Last I saw was when the band started playing Born in Dissonance, but Tomas started playing Ligature Marks (or if it was the other way around) and it took like… quite a while before they stopped playing and Jens was like ”fuck, we just played two different songs.” Setlist mixup I guess, but it was pretty hilarious.

​@@paradigmshiftz7that bend in the riff when you're keeping the rhythm going is tricky sounds class to. It's an 8 string so not having one I haven't played it tho. You could down tune a six strong wouldn't sound good enough tho I'll just listen to them 😊

Im a Drummer and i understand why hes so calm its normal people to say so yes. the thing is he practiced it ALOT and by alot i mean like everyday just that song its fucked up with the legs. They werent even sure is it gonna be on the album bcs its as i said fucked up with legs. In this song he plays softer bcs its harder and on other he plays harder.

[@deamon506]

The only reason he can play this is because he’s calm. He’s focusing on breathing and staying relaxed.

[@Jtdubbzz]

Awesome. A lot of counting lol. Staying calm, saving stamina for the rest of the show. I used to be really into this style of drumming years ago. Seen them with Fear Factory and Slayer. But yeah, it’s definitely a different approach. I’m more of a moody drummer I guess, my style is a lot different. It would take a lot of practice and conditioning to play like this, if that’s your thing. He’s been writing drums this way for 20 years so it’s probably second nature
