He’s mentioned that he never took drum lessons, which is absolutely incredible to me as he seems well disciplined and has great ergonomics to his playing ….that is.. if he wasn’t fucking with the interviewer but didn’t seem like it
Tomas' touch on the kit is exquisite. If you didn't know anything about him, you wouldn't say he's a metal drummer. One of the most original, refreshing and innovative drummers for sure. Been a pleasure listening to him play all these years.
It’s so satisfying to hear Thomas dig into that ride bell at the beginning of the bass section. That grooved HARD. Not really much ride bell sections like that if any at all in meshuggahs discography from what I’ve heard.
The work of Lovgren to build the band sound is great, two 8th strings guitars could erase all other instruments but the bass has his unique line! What a touch!
Really cool to hear Tomas play with some swing. That’s not something you get too often in Meshuggah and if you do, it’s accompanied by a guitar riff in 17
rhythm & bass has always been my favorite part of music, it speaks to the core of my spirit being! my heart beats to the rhythm of tomas haake's drumming. thank you for the upload<3
