{{Mark Bishop}} Meshuggah - Stengah

[k0litsas]

i need it to see that.. i'll start emediatly thnk u

[WozniakAttack21]

Loosen your China!!!):

[BenjaminProd]

Another comment is that the 3:00 part when playing on the hi-hat is 8/8s as well. :]

[ElementalMark]

@BenjaminProd I am playing 8ths, every other 4th is ghost noted.

[BenjaminProd]

@ElementalMark ah yes, I see that now. My bad.

[BenjaminProd]

Those cymbals are actually quite excellent. The sound quality on your cam however is not excellent. Well played as well. Btw, I see you do 4/4's on your hi-hat in the beginning, I am fully aware that this is a cover, but Tomas actually taps 8/8's while on the other cymbals for the most part. :)

[MikeTheFunkyDrummer]

Good job man. Tomas is not easy to replicate.

[Hellraiserzzz]

great video, you could have used a filter on those highs, i think i might have lost an ear drum there.

[Fangelus]

Regarding your description... - apart from the fact I really enjoyed this cover... - Swedish Drummers sure, but let's see this Australian drummer (from Synthetich Breed): Daniel Luttick. (can't copy the link, but try him on the world drummer festival 08)

[ShreddyMacFunTits]

Any critics naysaying can suck your flaps. I would love to see their attempt. Good job. :)

[trippyfish]

I find they sound pretty poor for the purpose of playing the shug. But no amount of cymbals or enormous kit can compensate for rushing.

[trippyfish]

B minus. Put all cymbals under 16" in the trash. Thank you.

[ElementalMark]

@trippyfish Nope. As a drummer of many genres, I need to be able to compensate.

[MortenBoHansen]

when its not Tomas....you know...... ....you catch my drift!

[DUB212]

Lossen your crashes :), other than that, amazing cover !!! Loved it :)

[Fergusforslipknot]

you had to do about twice the number of hi hat pedal hits than you did and you missed the ghost snare notes but oh well

[bcavotto]

i'm sad that you added sub drops cause i thought your 16(?) inch floor tom was just that brutal. i was gonna say teach me your tuning technique but for that i say OH NOW SUCK IT! how many cymbals do you crack a year? you got them shits like rock solid tight man. all joking aside, this was very well done dude, very well done. sexy cymbal set up too. but i agree with some of these comments on needing some bigger, bad ass monstrous crashes. \m/

[travuzz1]

a no mames!! la verdad si la tocas muy chingon, ssss....

y ese haake, todo un maestro!!!

[AlMachineKTC]

aaaah treble!!!!!

[Polaf3456]

You pulled off the rolls exquisitely. This is honestly enough the best drum cover ive seen.

[Laotze89]

Very impressive indeed.

[sotizz]

Real drummers drink Jagermeister!

[rwmerlot777]

id totally cover this song

but my camera has the worst sound in the world, but good video.

[i am 14 btw :)]

[TZOD45]

he does accented eighth notes at the beginning not quarter notes on the china

[DJHorseOfficial]

What's your china?

[ElementalMark]

@DJHorseOfficial The big one on the right is an 18" Sabian AA, the 2 smaller ones are 12" Sabian AAX mini chinas: the left having a brilliant finish.

[TheNuncFluens]

nobody gets the break at 3:30 right

[alextwdrums]

im impressed with this man! i like your setup as well

[wowrazzor]

Great drumming and setup. Really good.

[sebbimon]

Dude, you need some more 17/18 inch crashes! sounds boring as hell with just those 14/15 crashes to your left side.. Otherwise sick cover.

[ElementalMark]

@sebbimon The sizes from left to right are 15, 16, 17 and 18. lol

[allmetaliswelcome]

dude, how come your 12" china's sound like 16"?

[timteam2]

i think you have to loose a little your cymbals

[ahernan35471]

dude. look up joeyjunior15 he did this same cover but his is like way way WAY better. i mean your is fucking awesome but his kit is mic'ed up and his quality is better.

[ElementalMark]

@ahernan35471 Seen him before, hes not bad. Unfortunately, this is the best sound I'm going to get out of a Sony digital 8 camcorder.

[ahernan35471]

@ElementalMark Just curious whats the last video u have seen that he made. and im sure your kit sounds much better in person (not on camera i mean) and its a really nice kit.

[ExotathXVIII]

@ahernan35471 This cover is more accurate. The sound quality just isn't as good.

[ivanNZL]

you have more cymbals than haake himself -_-

[underpaiddrummer]

dude, loosen how tight you have those cymbals on there.

[Mrdrumer0000]

@underpaiddrummer Yea i know! Hes a great drummer but he's not letting his cymbals "breath". But the china is oklike that.

[EatSleepGrow]

Very nicely done. O_O

[ElementalMark]

@siglap1933 Nah, the audio level of the drum track on this video is only 50%, I could always just boost it to 65%

[ibanezmetalman]

@ElementalMark he means for the qualty of the sound

[dima666]

you have serious skills! big respect! keep up!

[flippytheleper]

Great cover, but you might want to loosen your cymbals, especially those chinas, or you're going to break something

[allmetaliswelcome]

I WANT THAT KIT

[allmetaliswelcome]

wow! thats a big kit!

[jeffdrummer]

good job drummer , meshuggah rules !!!!!!

[RonnieBlack444]

Nailed it, but you hold your sticks funny. And I didn't feel the power. Needed more power. And more Meshuggah faces. Sort of like the face you make when you take a shit that doesn't quite fit through your asshole. You know?

But apart from that it was awesome.

[ElementalMark]

@RonnieBlack444 No matter how hard you hit, the drums can only get so loud... then you hit the threshold where you're damaging equipment.

[Fattydrums910]

@ElementalMark you probably wouldn't have to worry about breaking your cymbals, if they were screwed on tighter then a five year olds pussy, let them breath man.

[ElementalMark]

@Fattydrums910 I don't have a problem with breaking cymbals, not since I switched to Sabian. My Zildjians used to shatter like glass.

[TomWolfDrum]

great playing!

[SYL1899]

very nice cover! learning it by now, it's horrible... ;-)

[sk8bd15]

What was the pattern on the hands for the riff at 1:45? i would appreciate it. Well done btw

[linguaphile1]

Well done, sir.

[osiva757]

I would love to see that man!

[korny3354]

no emotions, thats meshuggah for you :D

[dujl]

@korny3354 I wouldn't say no emotion, not just emotion in the common sense that you will see in music.

[dujl]

I'm a little unsure about the tom groove at the end, but other than that, very good job.

[osiva757]

tight bro

[ElementalMark]

@osiva757 Thanks dude. I'm thinking about doing a 'Division Complex" cover soon, keep on the lookout :)
