The Vortex (Beneath)

[@BrandonZackey]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

[@Blake-x1d]

I wanna learn this so effing bad lol. I play by ear and I know Im off at a few points. Meshuggah drumline lol. Such a sick idea man.

[@tommymcmeans]

They should play this track instead of a metronome in the lot!

[@lopezmotorsports]

TOTALLY AGREED!

[@AWAfromSnareScience]

***** Actually, Roger said that Meshuggah slowed down. They didn't record the song with a click track, so there were slight variances in the tempo that would have thrown off the battery when they played with a met.

[@Supernova325]

I had to do over 80 cut-and-blends to get the two tracks in sync. every single cut was on the meshuggah track, because the bluecoats track had to match the video. but the bluecoats play to a metronome, so obviously they're right. at about 1:50, you can hear an example of the way Meshuggah's recording obviously doesn't match with the tempo and I have to stretch the audio to make it fit together after the drumset fill because it's "wrong" tempo wise. it was recorded that way, and I just did what i could.

[@guss2149]

Supernova325 I have to say that you did a really good job with the editing. I wouldn't have guessed that it took that much cut'n blending to get them to line up and it sounds great.

[@sinborn41214]

guss2149 Old Meshuggah doesn't line up to a click, I tried syncing a metronome to New Millenium Cynanide Christ and yeah, tempo doesn't just fall into place like a Volumes song.

[@mattrice4213]

Holy shit. This whole thing suddenly makes so much more sense - thanks for posting this!

[@haydenconley]

And THIS is why The Bluecoats are my favorite. BLOOOOOO

[@ryansparrelldrums]

This is sick! Meshugga rythms fit drumline so well

[@Deech72]

Wow!! They wrote the song around a drumlin groove???

[@johnnichols5133]

other way around i think

[@gunsnrosesrthebest]

***** its a joke

[@roquemusic]

Other way around!

[@DieNaSty4me]

Roque Castaneda In 1995?

[@DieNaSty4me]

Roque Castaneda OMG! BLUECOATS ARE TIME TRAVELERS!!!!!!!

[@patrickh6323]

Duuuuuude! Single stroke roll!!!

[@rotarychainsaw]

I always thought meshuggah and maybe dillinger escape plan could make for a good field show.

[@ryansparrelldrums]

I always thought that about between the buried and me too haha.

[@reverberate10]

Ryan Sparrell a BtBaM might get a bit hairy. I feel like if you maybe added a bit of Periphery in there it could work but it'd be something

[@stevefromouterspace]

Thanks for posting this. What an excellent arrangement!

[@joshuapedersen2011]

Thems some djentle beats.

[@Payvandsalari]

Someone please show this to Tomas Haake

[@jadenmccallum17]

Is it bad that this is what I would expect from Roger Carter?

[@Shevaron]

WOW I new there was a reason I LOVED the Bluecoats drum line.

[@hiraethia8419]

knew

[@Shevaron]

+that guy you know Do I no you?

[@hiraethia8419]

+Shevaron know* and probably not

[@TheArchanoz]

FUCK YEAH

[@Rikodesinko]

2:13 Rockin out!!!!

[@petarpwnsuall]

i love you for this

[@pokopiko1942]

5 people hate Meshuggah

[@KonradKavallieratos]

FUCK YES!

[@Parma_jawn]

THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND LOL

[@MoustacheCloud]

so sick

[@TheRyry97]

This is fucking great.

[@Jimmy2e_]

I think it's a little more than "evidently arranged" :D

[@Supernova325]

"obviously arranged" may have been better, but at the time I was in a hurry to get it online before anybody else did.

[@Jimmy2e_]

It's still an amazing video, though! Thanks!

[@sigityudanto6727]

this is too bad-ass

[@TheTomslife]

Was this exercise wrote to fit with this song?

[@DMDad37]

Yes because this was arranged based off the song.

[@Rikodesinko]

Now do Born In Dissonance by Meshuggah!!!!

[@danielharrison3462]

Is that just a coincidence?!? It has to be! Wtf?

[@briantan3357]

Daniel Harrison roger carter wrote the warm-up based off of beneath by meshuggah, so not a coincidence

[@danielharrison3462]

Brian Tan are you serious?

[@briantan3357]

Daniel Harrison deadass

[@JobForAMaxboy]

@@danielharrison3462 how would it be coincidence? Every single note of every bar matches perfectly. Plus meshuggah is any drummers dream and nightmare, they’re a case study in memory

[@nafeesk412]

Thats how its done folks!

[@huffprodutions]

I hate heavy metal, but I love me some Bluecoats.

[@XxT0asty0atsxX]

This is awesome.

[@Lenix217]

ahh number 11

[@rickgorman2058]

if it wasnt metal you re mind wouldnt be blown lol

[@Victrlrrlrll]

Hahahaha yes dude!

[@Psyphonyx_Life]

EPIC!!!

[@mcfathom]

yo wtf 😂😂😂

[@opperjosco]

l o l

[@guss2149]

Damnit cameraman, there are more than 3.5 bass drums! Cool beats, and they are tight! Too bad it was wasted on heavy metal.

[@Supernova325]

I'll amend your statement to make it truthful. "too bad I don't appreciate heavy metal and so this very meticulous arrangement of music frustrates me because I like everything except the source material" you're welcome :)

[@Supernova325]

you're still welcome :)

[@agee23]

Why would you say that it was wasted on heavy metal?

[@guss2149]

Jacob Agee I'm glad you asked :) I have two reasons: First, I think that both (drumline beats and Heavy metal) are very technical and busy. To me they drown each other out. It's like painting modern art on a Metzinger. There would be too much there. Maybe it was the recording or the mix but I had a hard time hearing the beats over top the heavy metal most of the time. The other reason is that I tend to gravitate towards simpler things. Putting a heavy metal track on a drumline groove (or visa versa) is by no means simple. Also, screaming invokes anger in me and I don't like to be angry.

[@HansonProductions112]

guss2149 You do realize this song is what "Vortex" is based off of right? I'm assuming the intent of Supernova was to show how the exercise and the song relate, not to just throw some heavy metal track on top of a warm up with a similar tempo and feel for shits and giggles.
