It’s easy to stick with what you know.
You can go weeks, months, even years playing the same songs every time you sit down to practice. But in drumming - as in life - getting outside your comfort zone is the key to progress…
So when Brandon Toews was challenged to play a complicated prog metal tune by the pioneers of djent, Meshuggah, he did just that...
Got out of his comfort zone.
And because Brandon is the consummate drum teacher, he took it as an opportunity to show you the learning process - start to finish.
You’ll see everything from Brandon’s first listen to this complicated drum track to his final performance (heavy-double kick to boot). Hopefully, it inspires you to dive into a brand new genre and expand your drumming horizons.

@@MaleficMist ehhh descending is truthfully a lot of linear stuff. It goes hard but isnt that hard to pick up. I got it after a few listens. Bleed however even plagued Haake for months and almost delayed their tour and album cause he was trying to get it down. The herta pattern in the first part of bleed is more of workout than most of descending and that pattern evolves into an inverted and 77535 variation later in the song. Been working for months and just can barely get it at low bpm. Haake is on a different plane. Check his clockworks drum cam footage too

I imagine it’s like learning to play it on the guitar: hours of head scratching and frustration feeling like it’s a memory puzzle and potentially impossible. Then as you slowly start to internalize, it becomes a little easier. Finally, you can just play it and you wonder why it ever seemed hard to you in the first place. You figure, “I’ve got this!” So you check out another song thinking it will be easier. But it’s not, and the process start again. Fml.

Wow wow wow!!!! What an amazing job you did! As a young drummer who grew up admiring Tomas Haake, I could barely play the intro and verse to this! Not only did you nail it, but you also opened up my eyes to new methods of practice and I thank you for that 🙏🏽 Excellent work!!! 👏🏽

Only 14 days to learn a full Meshuggah song is seriously impressive, especially when you’re not used to playing double bass or metal of this caliber. Insanely well done! Do “Nostrum” next hehe ;)

Tomas style is so unique, and his placement of basically almost off beat crash and snare while using his kick so precisely on its just so crazy how different people come up with things so differently than most people would even consider going about it. It's why music so rad. It's what each musician and drummer envisions is what makes each band so unique. I obsess over drum and bass parts in songs. Always have.

Some of the most skilled and dedicated musicians alive are in metal bands. I TOTALLY get why many people don't like it, but I'm overjoyed at the increased respect being payed to these incredible artists.

This was great to watch. As a talented drum-player yourself... it shows the practice and precision needed no matter what level you are at, and I am glad you showed that and didn't try to make yourself to be something you are not. Seeing you play that song at the end just spoke to your commitment, talent and the practice you put in. I'm glad your friend made this bet with you... sometimes it takes a seed to be planted before you push yourself into things outside your comfort-zone. Keep on pushing... you can play anything and everything you want with the the commitment.
