MESHUGGAH - Clockworks (DRUM PLAYTHROUGH w/TOMAS HAAKE) Reaction  

Bill Burr recounted a story of watching meshuggah live .he was standing next to Danny Carey(drummer from Tool) and he saw Danny's mouth being wide open and was completely blown away from the drum patterns..thats the magnificence of Meshuggah.

Tomas Haake is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.

Tomas Haake is just a terminator that was sent though time and took up drums instead of killing John Connor.

I have always felt bad for people that just hear noise when they hear this band. They have no idea what they are missing.

Tomas Haake is a beast. One of the greatest drummers ever.

Look…. Bleed was the shit. Clockworks…..that shit is on another level. Haake is a drum GOD. Been waiting for this one.

Heard him say in a video once that drumming is like meditation to him. The idea that some of the most insane drumming is done by a dude who is just totally zen is just baffling. 🤘

This is my favorite song from these Swedish madmen. When I played this at work, it scared the sh!+ out of everyone. Especially the customers. 😲😂😂😂

This is one of the greatest drum performances in history.

I am not into reaction videos... but man, thats the most REAL reaction video i have seen. Every emotion is real... and it mimics the way i felt when i listned to this song.. but it didnt hit my as bad as when i saw them live for the 6th time playing in LA when they opened up with his. my buddy and i got high, then they played an IDOSE track that was so LOUD it made your ears ring and right after that, they opened up with clockworks.... I wasnt the same person again. Holy shit that was incredible. The entire venue became a living thing... A hive, a cell.. and meshuggah was the life giving sonic Nucleolus and everyone else was in tune with this rhythmic phenomena... you can feel different parts of the ground shaking in different tempos... because there would be people fixated on the guitars, others on the drums, others on his snare, other on his pass pedal, others with Jens... its was fucking amazing. and every now and then line the red clips on a cassette tape, we all came in unison and matched our rhythm because its only a matter of time for us to sync up and its was fucking glorious. It changed my life that night. If you dont know the comparison with the red markers on a cassette tape.. .grab one, play it and watch the wheels turn... they will all turns our of sync.. but every other 10-20 they would sync up for a few seconds and its amazing to see before one speeds up ahead of the other... in a nutshell.. THAT is Meshuggah and i am glad to be alive at a time where this band fucking exists! cheers sorry for the shitty spelling, i really dont care right now, i was just stoked to see someone get the same emotions i do when i listen to these guys..

MESHUGGAH - Dancers To A Discordant System / The Ophidian Trek (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO), one of their best songs and sounds better than the album version IMO.

"Catch thirtythree" is 47 minutes of Meshuggah greatness... or go old school, something off "destroy, erase, improve". Love your guys reactions by the way

Meshuggah "I" absolutely... If you have been blown away so far by Meshuggah you will literially blow up listening to this 21 minute masterpiece...

Dude you gotta see them live. You enter another realm. It's mind blowing. See if they're coming near you on their 2022 tour with converge. You should do older meshuggah next. Straws pulled at random live

The drum playthrough is breathtaking.....but yeah, the guitar riffs and "feel" of this song are just unbelievable.

Insanity dude. The precision here is mind blowing. It's not just the drums but the whole band playing this together perfectly is impossible to imagine.

This band plays not only different time signatures but they play on a different realm in music. Meshuggah is life. 🤘🤘🤘

Dancers to a discordant system is in my opinion their magnum opus. That track is unique in so many ways.

The best drummers in the world, literally, go to Meshuggah concerts and stare in disbelief at what Tomas Haake does. Kind of like the joke, “Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.” Danny Carey wears Tomas Haake pajamas. Danny would agree. So damn much going on in Clockworks, it would take hours to break it down and a lifetime to learn.

BLEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!! Tomas cam!!!!!!!!!! LOL....

Yeeeeeaah 🤘this is 🔥 Next Born in Dissonance,Rational Gaze,Bleed,Break those bones whose sinews gave it motion,Our Rage won't die

"This is a fucking annihilation" Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

I'll never tire of watching tomas haake reactions

Know how to tell if someone is a drummer or actually metal fan. They aren't amazed by the fast bits, they are amazed by the crazy time signatures in between.

It's crazy to think that Tomas Haake is 51 years old and still performs these songs lives. Absolutely Incredible!!!

I love Tomas cuz his almost-robotic precise rhythmic drumming fits so well w the rest of the instruments in the band… Meshug is def one of my top metal bands…

There is Heavy and then there is MESHUGGAH!!!!!

My guy is an inspiration to Danny and Danny is top 10 all time, so there’s that.. my all time favorite!!

this goes to show you don't need many drums to play like a beast

Please do "dancers to a discordant system" live by meshuggah. Soooooo gooooood!!!

Of the gods. Nothing more to say. Spiritual.

This guy is some kind of genius! And my brother has a pair of his drum sticks!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'd like to see your reaction to "Rational Gaze" next.

Dancers to a discordant system. Do the live ophidian trek since you enjoy live performances so much but personally I prefer the studio version 🤘🏻

This is insane.... I think Tomas Haake is a cyborg

As always, brain-melting

Ufffs Meshuggah unique!! From Chile 🇨🇱

You guys should bounce around some. Try Corridor of Chameleons or Neurotica from the album Chaosphere.

Awesome! Chicago Love 🤘😜🤘

You guys rock!!! Welcome to most Meshuggah machine!!!! Please check our Revocations Arbiters of the apocalypse or a Debt owed to the grave.

4:55 that part of the song made me a fan. Had an eargasm too ;).

He really is one of the greatest of all time

Straws pulled at random is their best song IMO. Definitely check that one at some point.

Remember finding out about these guys in -95 (Destroy, Erase, Improve album). I was blown away, and been a huge fan ever since. Proud to be a Swede!! 🤘🏻

Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion, I Am Colossus or New Millennium Cyanide Christ.

meshuggah - gods of rapture, rational gaze, war ,and future breed machine

My favourite music ever !!!!

Meshugga like owns its sound and style for real, they will change music in history books forever..

"And imma do this now, ok. Yeah." This video, Thomas probably.

This song is an organised chaos.

Haake is an amazing drummer. The whole band are amazing. Soon talented

"Do Not Look Down" and "Marrow" are two that don't get mentioned much, but are phenomenal. Also, if you want some of their old groove, try "Concatenation (Remix)" off of their Rare Trax album. There are absolutely no reactions to this song and I think only Meshuggah fiends are in the know of that album.

Combustion - Meshuggah

I recently heard Thomas say he was a fan of Primus drummer Tim Alexander....that's a trip!!

Tool is amazing when the bass, guitar and drums go out of sync with each other and then lock back in - different patterns of different lengths and everything. With Meshuggah, Thomas Haake plays all those rhythms together by himself. (Full credit to Carey, he's my favourite drummer, I'm glad to know Haake blows him away too!)

Just when you think you've heard the heaviest thing that could possibly be played Meshuggah says, "Hold my Närke Kaggen Stormaktsporter!" ;-)

Top 10 albums 2021 1: Vildhjarta - måsstaden under vatten 2: Humanitys Last Breath - Välde 3: Rivers Of Nihil - Works 4: Violet Cold - Empire Of Love 5: Brand Of Sacrifice - Lifeblood 6: The Browning - End Of Existence 7: To The Grave - Epilogue 8: ten56 - Donner part1 9: Aborted - ManiaCult 10: Night Crowned - Hädanfärd

Fucking sublime, isn't it?...meshuggah gets the blood flowing...

That double bass drum pedals brrrrt machine gun sound

This was a video of the actual take for the song. If u look Fredrick is across the room in the other booth.

Meshuggah - Our Rage Won't Die

Hehehe. Minute 10 in and my man on there staring at the video like it was an eye chart trying to read that bottom line. Same thoughts, too. But instead of, "I know those are letters, but what?" it's "I know how a human body supposed to work, but what?" when it comes to the living multiple-metronome that is Thomas. That man is made of clockwork and even a biomedical scan couldn't convince me otherwise.

So I completely understand the emotions they're feeling when they listen to this. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry when I hear this piece of art. My mind is completely occupied and busy the entire time.

That drumming is so technical it's basically clinical.

I so appreciate the polyrhythmic head bobs

Hell yeah guys! You guys have me listening to this now. Thank you!!!

There will never be another band so dynamic. Pure perfection..... 💯🤘🔥

i would recommend to start with the "easy" messhuggah songs first. This one is hard to wrap your head around if you are not very used to their style because they go completely nuts here. React to Straws Pulled at Random, hopefully live which is an absolute banger, or New Millenium Cyanide Christ

This is in my opinion one of the best songs they ever made.

Tomas Haake doesn't need a metronome. The metronome needs Tomas Haake

Perfection is the word…Great reaction!

Well, the only logical song choice after witnessing this would have to be the live drum cam version of Bleed. There's certainly more Meshuggah tracks worthy of mentioning, but as a drummer myself, Bleed will just make your jaw fall straight to the ground. There's also more than just one camera angle on it, so you can see a bit more of what's happening during that song. Thomas Haake is an absolute beast on the drums and is easily one of my favorite drummers with his unique style and complex polyrhythms. He also has a heavy hand in constructing their songs since they are so rhythmically incorporated, and he's even been known to do a few songs with vocals while drumming! I will also give a couple more song recommendations for them - Corridor of Chameleons and Future Breed Machine are some of their earlier songs that will absolutely destroy your ears.

I'd say that was the perfect reaction to the brilliance of Meshuggah.

Love youre reaction/ Regards from Sweden

Haake is a poly-rhythmic God. And yet he makes it look effortless.

Pure genius

meshuggah is always going to kick your ass when you listen to them, it’s what they were out here to do

I felt exactly like you seeing this vid for the first time. Haake is a god among men. Keep up the superfun reaction vids, guys!

It speaks volumes when the drummers legs are blurrier than his hands in the video, but his hands are already in super saiyan

hey man glad to see you still uploading. if you have the time please react to pudding time and spaghetti western by primus

This guy is literally a machine, indeed, you can see the wire just behind

What's up guys! everyone struggles with the pronunciation of Tomas' last name lol. it pronounced Hock - Ah. Haake. the only way I know this is i have met him and that was one of the questions I asked lol. Keep making the killer reaction videos!!!

This was so much fun watching! I love your reactions, and I have mentioned you should watch Meshuggah in some of your other reaction videos. I've been following this band since 1994 with their release of the album "None". You have a great back catalogue to react to... sadly most of their earlier stuff are not recorded on video, but all of their albums are quite damn good and unique. :) Looking forward to more of your reactions to Meshuggah!

Pure jewel

Easily one of my favorite more recent Meshuggah songs. Jesus I love watching this drum playthrough.

Meshuggah - Swarm (Live from the other Live DVD)

Without fail, every reaction video I see for Tomas' drumming uses the word "crazy". Meshuggah is the Yiddish word for... crazy. 😎 It never gets old.

This is a GREAT reaction guys, appreciate it to live sgain that first feeling, this song is a blast and watch Tomas do his "clockwork" is nuts. Cheers Btw, you should react to a similar drumcam video like this of the same album. The song is called Nostrum and again, Tomas kills it

I'm telling you. Future Breed Machine. Don't ask questions, just listen.....

Yet another Swedish band 🤘🇸🇪🤘🇸🇪🤘 MESHUGGAH

i am completely addicted to them now and what you should listen is an extract from the live @ Summer Breeze in Germany. They have a sound live even better than in studio IMO. Try Rational gaze in this live. The whole thing is off the charts anyway.

Everytime Tomas Haake plays drums, the universe get a reset, a new configuration.

I am currently trying to learn this album, just for fun, cause that’s what drum nerds do. 😁😁🤷🏻 When listening to Haake, it’s not the complexity that is most impressive. It’s the nuanced way in which he will drop in tricky little time signature changes, in the middle of a verse or chorus, just because he can! Just insane!!🥹🥹😙😙

This used to be my driving home from work song :D It gets better and better with repeat listens

U 2 R AWESOME Lol. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Fantastic song!!!

Mr Bungle - Sudden death. Will blow you away death/thrash/prog style With mike Patton, Scott ian, and Dave Lombardo!

It's like a train loaded with iron ore. It just goes and stops for nothing.

I've been a Mesh-head since '01 and I think y'all will like/love _any_ song from their discography...from thrash-jazz to baby-djent to experimental groove-djent to avant-garde groove-djazz. Lol!

В этом видео прекрасно всё, пересматривал раз 100 и всем показывал"человека-калькулятора". Томас-машина😮❤❤❤
