Tomas Haake [Meshuggah] DRUMCAM LIVE!

Video by Anthony Dubois

[@sinndustrial]

SWEET DRUMCAM LIVE!!! Oh wait, they dubbed the studio version of the song over top of it.

[@Convisis]

This dude's memory is a fucking iron vault, all these parts over all these years, what a king.

[@Bi_10_denci]

Thomas Haak is god on the drums. Truly amazing.

[@joromark]

and now we know what the studio version looks like... still such a pleasure, always the best

[@RogerBiwandu]

Saw them/him yesterday night in my hometown of Bordeaux/France, oh dear God... What a show !!! No words....

[@sackboy1055]

Why is he never on Sickdrummer's video? I would love to an hour special of Mario Duplantier, Chris Adler and of Tomas Haake. Then a special guest appearance of Viniie Paul. Many FAST drummers out there in the metal world but I prefer the aforementioned. Vinnie's simply a monster and has this thick, fat sound to his playing. Chris has those double-bass licks that are iconic. Mario has this flow and very atmospheric style. And, finally, Tomas is a math machine. :) ^^

[@SirXander]

I love his I-am-a-very-rhythmically-aware-viking look.

[@FrankP1969]

at least give us the live sound! you guys just used the tune from the album and thats it!

[@BradyThomas]

they're basically the same with meshuggah lol

[@BradyThomas]

they're basically the same with meshuggah lol

[@ddrumdude]

Was about to comment the same thing!

[@macrillzenith1399]

Right, lol was about to say that, the cymbal hits dont line up

[@-cfh-architector7963]

Legendary playing and sound!

[@joshsherlock2372]

The snare sound on the Koloss record is godlike.

[@17Crashband]

never stops cymbals...so damn good !

[@zodiacmanan]

His Highness, The Meshuggahianic Percussive Overlord of the Metal World, Tomas Haake.... Hail!

[@thesdizl]

I love how the studio track pretty much perfectly syncs with live video. Awesome. Also, it does say 'drumcam live', not that the song is live :P

[@alexty7]

That's a drumcam. Not a live version of the song, but it's a drum cam 'cause drums were filmed with a camera in live. But i know it's hard to see the difference :)

[@AquaAnim]

Wrong, we get to look over at everyone and see everyone move. Absolutely love it!

[@dimmuslip]

0:44 WOW BEAUTIFUL GHOST CYMBALS real audio please

[@blakeunderhill2345]

Obeat Friedrich They are using the album audio :P

[@dimmuslip]

i know, that's the point

[@yourrealdad9442]

+Macarony Lust just look up their performance at the Ophidian Trek, I'm pretty sure that's what concert this is from (not the drumcam, I'm pretty sure they had drumcams set up during that concert they just didn't use them as often in the official footage)

[@dimmuslip]

+Pikaboss I looked up their performance at the ophidian but if you look closely in this video, you can see that this venue is in some sort of theatre. The song Do Not Look Down was performed at a festival in the ophidian DVD. Still it gives a live sound version! This anthony dubois is lucky thx for the link

[@yourrealdad9442]

Macarony Lust Oh, I thought this looked a bit like the Ophidian Trek but nvm

[@bryancreely1350]

They really don't want you to look down.

[@jazzfusionsoul]

Thank you for the awesome quality video.

[@patriciociampi1100]

Welcome to the endless hi-hat pedal world, tomas will be your instructor!

[@moonchildtheking5008]

greatest metal drummer ever

[@JSquaredDesigns]

This is fucking awesome - FUCKING AWESOME

[@semosen1016]

So much training and precision best drummer ever

[@supersierra70]

nice how they synced up a live version with the studio version being the one you're actually hearing...

[@DamnDstryr]

Tomas Haake is such an inspiration.

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

Yup those thing work great!! We used em for all our pre production.

[@IndigoRoses7]

Haake is such a beast

[@peterhenningsen3141]

Do Not Look Down, album's name is Koloss :)

[@metaldrummer47]

Nah it's the original recording over it. He hits cymbals that dont register like they would if they were mic'd. He's not playing it verbatim so they put this over it

[@stephenvaldez8097]

+SabianVault we all want the real drumming not just the meshugah music of the drumming. we all want to hear the beautiful sabian cymbals and the amazing sonor drums.

[@RattleSnakeHead]

Kudos to the camera guy for that autocontrol and not headbanging the whole song.

[@11Rastafari11]

meshuggah knew more than we back in 2013...no we have the lockdown!

[@Hanky.SSCorp]

I'm pretty sure its just the studio recording over the top of the live video, so thats why the cymbals are not syncronised with the audio at some points

[@joepeffer5115]

Haake makes this band. Hes playing the hardest parts and fills everything in. Guitarists will tell you what the others play is elementary and not hard/ technical at all, its all timing. But Haake saves this band with his grooves and fills.

[@southernohiotrailcamvideos8749]

the guitar is not "hard" in a physically challenging way as I think you mean from your statement but to say it isn't technical is not true.meshuggah uses a lot of 3-3 timing,which is odd in itself.Their riff patterns are very hard to decipher,especialy at first.There comes a point when meshuggah doesn't sound so odd from a structural point of view after hearing it for awhile.but it takes a long time.atleast for me.(American)so very different from traditional american metal.i love the band though and I have to give them props for some of the single best breakdowns/slower heavy riffs of given songs I have ever heard imo.....

[@kabisikletamba142]

best comment so far! 🤗

[@behindthen0thing]

bro 3/3 timing doesn't exist. 3/4 does however, exist. Additionally most of meshuggah material is in 4/4

[@southernohiotrailcamvideos8749]

You are correct sir !

[@mischacarlberg6631]

John Arnold, 3/3 timing does exist, it's just an underdeveloped concept.

[@MichaelGedies]

Dude's freakin spot on with those wacky time signatures. Love it!

[@dankstadan2126]

Best seat in the house!!!!

[@giovannilamboglia4348]

so much groove. incredible

[@SergioDuFont]

Intro alternates between 9/8 and 8/8, then a 2/8 upbeat before the verse in 8/8. Took a while to work that out...

[@rhorschack]

Intelligent drumming incarnate.

[@CommanderKody75]

I wish I had half as many pairs of hats as Haake does, lol. Shit's sweet.

[@floopsfooglie213]

THE BEGINNING SAYS "SHOOTED AND DIRECTED" PLS

[@mhstaun]

He has been playing with this setup appr since touring Obzen I think. I noticed in the Koloss konstruktion video that he mentioned he's stripped off tom after tom over the years, mainly for ergonomic reasons to get his right hi-hat in closer. I believe he also said that he's been "cutting down" cymbal wise as well... Oh well, still enough I reckon ;)

[@theonapoloni]

DAMN ..finally a drumcam view of Koloss himself

[@optimus]

beginning of the video says SHOOTED by, is that correct? or did Meshuggahs off-time get to the editor too? lol

[@benficaclubedemerda]

this is fucking epic Portugal salutes you for fucking mainstream 21 sentury music in the ass

[@inimicalODDITY]

Wow, I wonder if he drilled those holes in his hats himself or if Sabian made a prototype for him. I would definitely buy those.

[@metaldrummer47]

Jesus is he a fucking beast or what?!

[@tholmesy26]

no its not record it direct from the soundboard. thats how you hear it at the concert, the amps are microphoned, mixed then played over the main speakers... simple

[@MrXionarc]

Haake's wearing the Great Indian Rock festival t-shirt!! \m/

[@eamonjosephus]

I wish I was on this concert.

[@handidrummed]

I swear Thomas has an entire brain just for the left AND right side of his body.

[@AnthonyDuboisPix]

You mean the one not fixed ? Nikon D7000

[@CamiloMoyaBaterista]

I want hear at tomas doing blast beats

[@fresno00]

Because this is their music video ^^

[@DaFuckinSchwartz]

What hats is he using to the right of the rack Tom?

[@DubCitySpitnNolige]

What kind of camera are you using from the floor tom angle????

[@GhANeC]

I know. But you know what. It would be the same. Because as you said it, Tomas is perfect. :D

[@Skoshtwo]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@AquaAnim]

He has actually, I do the same sometimes, live with sweat when using your right hand to crash ride a lot, it gets really easy for the stick to slip out.,

[@GoinpakOficial]

Meshuggah F*cking Rules!

[@theraxis]

If someone has access to a drum cam, they have access to the board used at the venue. Record from the board, sync with the video, voila. Using the album recording is just a bizarre decision.

[@somedrummer94]

Fucking fantastic drummer

[@Doughblade]

"Shooted" lol

[@itsnotbutter13]

Yeah, probably because he wants more abrasive sounds from his cymbals in grooves. Thus, he has 3 hi-hats and a stack set in place of the standard hi-hat and ride set up.

[@Sotamurzu]

would like to hear Mr. Haake explain why he uses a glove in his right hand :)

[@diegopelozo2679]

donde puedo conceguir este dvd???

[@GhANeC]

Seen him play with 3 or 4 hanging toms and just 4 or 5 cymbals. Interesting to see him progress to the opposite. Or maybe this specific setup was just for this shoot.

[@sanjinator17]

yo what show is this from

[@michaellapointe2703]

Do these guys ever play straight 4-4? Sick!!

[@MariusG94]

most of the time actually, at least if you listen to the hi hat and snare

[@IOutDoSyndicate]

The main riff is 4/4

[@minimartin4o]

Actually they play 4/4 most of the time. The thing about this distinctive sound is that the beat is mainly a so called Polyrhythm.

[@gaunten]

IOutDoSyndicate The main riff? the whole damn song is in 4/4, it's awesome.

[@onkel44lekno]

Martin Kirilov it's not really polyrythms but polymeters.

[@VinyLegends]

Can anyone tell which attachment he uses for the stacked cymbals? Looks like some sort of hi hat stand but I could be wrong...

[@calizonian1775]

The bottom cymbal is likely a China. The top could be a small crash or a big splash of some sort. Putting them together makes a trashy accent cymbal.

[@bigrickstar]

This dude goes hard! What's the name of this song? And does anyone know the time signature he's playing in???

[@otobustutkusu303]

4/4

[@ChemicallAli]

audio was from the show? or just from the actual track?

[@twentyeighthunnid]

Do Not Look Down from their most recent: Koloss

[@danthemanmillan]

Awesome video! You should get more artist with this camera set up and quality!

[@BW_Drums]

"Shooted & Directed by..." Really?... Shooted? :')

[@Slipstream0001]

who cares :)

[@r4xteh167]

anyway, good job :)

[@etrain8885]

They're Swedish, right?

[@Aliencomrad]

Well hey, they're Canadian. English isn't their first language. Oh, wait..

[@redim777]

No Meshuggah song has rhythm, they just produce music.

[@andymeyer8326]

he is so relaxed XD

[@BrainLure49]

I wish they had the actual audio for the gig. I'm disappointed :(

[@fmbighair]

Does anyone know what kind of snare/tuning he uses? Love that attack.

[@joelrodrigues4354]

I believe he used a Sonor signature bronze 14x8 with Tama hoops and an Evans power head; on the Koloss album. Not sure what he uses now, but to my knowledge - that is what he once used.

[@Ninololcss]

whats the name of the song?

[@eddief60]

Which show was this?

[@Ninololcss]

THANKS =D

[@ziojack2233]

Thomas 🤟🏻💪🏻

[@Hiergibtesnixzusehen]

*Tomas

[@frostymug1684]

fkn BADASS!!!

[@tedlyngmo9180]

Anthony Dubois: Niiiiice! Excellent footage!

[@TimElfring]

Where has this been filmed?

[@daveotx]

What song is this?

[@sinborn41214]

no ride cymbal?

[@h276wah7]

Why is it dubbed with studio?

[@paucceri]

you don't need to hear the difference as such, you just need to barely, even subconciously, notice it. and even then it's enough if only tomas notices it.

[@xevastra]

VIENEN A MEXICO EN NOVIEMBRE , ME CAGO !!!!!!

[@KongoUwe]

can anyone tell me the name of this song??

[@MQuantasm]

demiurge

"Don´t look down" from the album Koloss.

[@KongoUwe]

I LOVE YOU!!! ;)

[@talpajam]

Do Not Look Down

[@DaFuckinSchwartz]

Omg what's that china on the top left? O_o

[@laland21185]

Аудио дорожка не с концерта, это студийная запись. Но всё же

[@vikitheviki]

bla bla?

[@laland21185]

+kaxitaksi саунд идентичный альбомному и соло воспроизведённое на 100%... что какбы намекает

[@Milinthrak]

This song is so fucking easy to groove to.

[@CH-rs7cm]

How the heck do they remember that timing?

[@OculusOfficial]

+I Like Juice Very, very, very hard guitar. Maybe not for do not look down, but for their other songs the guitar can be wayyyy more complex than drums

[@OculusOfficial]

Dancers to a discordant system, rational gaze, I, Autonomy lost.

[@IslamFalmi]

+I Like Juice There're little to no Meshuggah songs that are 'simple' on guitars. The band was never about fast and technical fretwork. They're all about the patterns. Sure, tons of guitarists have the technical capability of playing a Meshuggah riff, but to memorise any of their songs is tough work.

[@ilikejuice5384]

+Oculus_Official Yeah okay you're right

[@IslamFalmi]

I Like Juice Right. Sorry about that. I agree.

[@gabrieh7049]

SHIMMMERRRINNNGGG SURRRRFAAAACCEEEEE (Thats Thomas'Drums)

[@11Rastafari11]

why do some cymbal hits make no sound?

[@Hiergibtesnixzusehen]

Because this audio is the studio version, mixed with the video of a life concert, where he played a bit different ;)

[@facedspaced]

Why take live video and then use the album recording?

[@stottification]

Incidental audio please!

Sound from the album, but yes, drumcam live ... too bad but still awesome !

[@Ble3eding]

FUKING MADD !!!!!
