Jens Kidman is one of the best Heavy Metal "singers" ever in my opinion. Absolutely no compromises, no dynamics, no clean parts, no loud/quiet parts, no low or high parts, just "in your face" all the time, but with an impressive and matchless rhythmical precision, like said before, like an instrument or like a part of the drumset. He has so much unhuman energy and a very individual kind of heavy metal "singing" in comparison to other metal vocalists. Absolut outstanding, and beside that, a very funny and sympathic person.

@rigorhead01 4 года назад

@Silrian777 4 года назад

Loved the calm insightful reaction. Respect for someone not used to this music. As a long time Meshuggah fan, while MANY will recommend you the infamous ‘stamina miracle’ Bleed, I’d personally say check out Dancers to a Discordant System. It highlights one of Thomas’ absolute strengths: slower cyclical grooves that are downright danceable. I’ve met them and ‘groove metal’ is a description they gave their blessing, rather than ‘math metal’ which they dislike, meshuggah’s all about feel, not calculating. iconic ‘old’ gems that highlights the same groovey quality of Thomas are New Millenium Cynanide Christ and Rational Gaze. They started out as more thrashy and every album explores their trendsetting 8string guitar sound in a new way. On a sidenote: thomas also writes the lyrics and they have fantastic ones. Meshuggah’s worth delving into, have fun!

Meshuggah is a hard listen, not because they're bad, they are definitely not.

Their music is so sharp, brutal and in your face that it takes time for their compositional patterns to appear in your head as you listen.

You're so right. I was overwhelmed when I heard Meshuggah in the early 2000s. I was intrigued at first and thought wow, this is Metal on a whole other level. Took me a little bit but after a few listens, I was hooked. 20 years later I'm still in awe of their awesomeness.

Wow, thats a really open minded response re the vocals in extreme metal. Most people are like "Uggh, metal is shit because you can't understand what they're singing" But like you rightly pointed out, the vocals go with the music, and yes you're right, the more you listen to the bands, the more you don't really notice it and it becomes the norm. The vocals are an instrument in extreme metal. They're not used in the same way as 'normal' music vocalists. In metal, the instruments are the key focus, the vocals are kind of secondary. Where as in popular music it's all about the vocalist.

I like some metal, I love early slipknot, I don't know how Corey Taylor even has a voice left. But bands with these style of 'vocals' just sound horrible. It's boring, rote, no tone, no rhythm, illegible. As intricate as this drumming is, I can't even get through half a song. It sounds like they lazily spent about 6 seconds coming up with something for the vocalist to repetitively croak out. Some vocals DO add to the intensity even if you can't understand them - but this does not.

I highly recommend checking out the drummer for Car Bomb. He does essentially the exact opposite thing from Tomas. Tomas plays over the bar line phrases while maintaining 4/4. Elliot Hoffman and Car Bomb actually practice extensively by watching each other because they use extremely odd phrases and time signatures without a steady tempo throughout the song. The band has said they have to watch each other and learn how to feel the quick note rate changes and time signature changes. Definitely check it out

Samus - awesome drummer with the most bloody awful sounding sampled triggered kit...

@annihilatedcanadian6506 4 года назад

@@richardharrold9736 You'll have to excuse my ignorance on this topic but are you referring to the "real world" drum sounding worse from the sampled recorded version? Like the sonic separation of kick and snare? If so doesn't this have alot to do with actual "room" you are playing in such as a hall or venue of some type? I'm very uneducated on the pros and cons of sampling kits, as this video in particular sounded extremely full and well rounded.

@richardharrold9736 4 года назад

@@annihilatedcanadian6506 basically, every single drum on that kit is triggered, and he mostly uses stock heavily gated trigger sounds with no dynamics or anything, which is why it always sounds so bloody flat... whereas, among RU-vid drummers, Meytal Cohen has an amazing natural-sounding kit that's properly miced to sound as good as possible.

@annihilatedcanadian6506 4 года назад

@@richardharrold9736 So on the album "Empath" Devin hired a couple drummers, one being 66Samus and the other being Anup Sastry. I just watched the "Hear Me" playthrough, then went and watched the Anup Sastry playthrough of "Singularity" on the same album and Sastry's kit does indeed sound snappier and crisper. After you pointed out the sampling, I did noticed the drums having a sort of flatter, (for lack of a better term) even sound. As a casual observer I didn't pick up on that at all. I just presumed that "Hear Me' was in fact recorded in a more muted tone to set them into the background a little more as to not over power the music. I hope I made a little sense there.

@NuclearHeadshot 3 года назад

@@richardharrold9736 agreed. However, he's addressed the use of samples as a necessity - he simply doesn't have the time to edit his drums every time, and he does online lessons on another kit which uses most of the mics he has. It's one thing to make time for editing if the mics are placed well from the beginning, but having to move them between kits that much is just too much time.

The coolest thing about their music is, if you follow his right, most of it can be counted in 4/4.

@TheWainaJarvela 4 года назад

Sure, the basic line is mostly 4/4. But on top of that there is different patterns like 13. Plus the bass drum can be in it's own something like 21 or 25 counts. So different brain for every limb is close to the truth!

@TheWainaJarvela Год назад

@@daviddevilliers2828 Yes, been following Yogev for a while. Also did some 8 years of private lessons from a drummer who has different brains for every limb. And that's an understatement. He can change the paired limbs during the play and still have two time signatures at the same time. Like 5/4 and 13/12 and then change what limbs do them. Feet to hand and left to right. I don't know if anyone else in the world can do that?

Super cool channel you are running here Andrew. A big thumbs up from Denmark. If you are interested in other "above the average" drummers, here is a little list that you might like: Morgan Aagren (Swedish "fusion-prog-jazz-rock drummer" - extremely skilled. The obvious one would probably be "Sol Niger Within" where he is playing metal. That one is crazy.) Bobby Jarzombek ("Peppered Cancer" would be a good choice) Gavin Harrison ("Threatening War" an easy listening little melodi) Marco Minnemann (tons of good videos with him out there) Gene Hoglan ("Skeksis" from his time in Strapping Young Lad) Matt Halpern and Matt Garska (Super and technically prolificient groovy metal drummers)
