Meshuggah - Pineal Gland Optics

[AFfloodOfAdrenaline]

And Haake would never use B8 or wuhan in his set !

[babayaga77]

nice displacement of toms.

[korny1992]

hey dude!!!!!!!!!!! answer please! which is that china on the right of your kit??

[D3maine]

I'm gonna rip out and chew on my own pineal right now.

[infamousforareason]

@D3maine Good luck. The pineal gland is located in the epithalamus near the center of the brain. That'll be one hell of a dig.

[TheEvbu]

very nice groove ! 

[HailThyDrumKit]

you look exactly like thomas haake

[xoninmuoshda]

Hey Thomas.

[MrXionarc]

I too keep a broken cymbal in my kit!!!!! Great minds think alike :P

[TheCorpse1978]

dude you could be tomas haake.Nice playing

[dolphin2ex]

tight drums broseph

[nocotufahead]

i just fell in love with your china, what china is that?

[tjmore09]

@nocotufahead Its a Wuhan.

[Montosify]

the AAX is a dark crash of 18 ??

[fromtheforestband]

This song is totally about either an ayahuasca or Dimethyltryptamine trip

[holykimi]

oh my! its one of those new hakke "look-alikes" robots from japan...COOL!

[Moossyb]

@holykimi Haake** (:

[DarkRezo]

omg is that a broken cymbal on top of another cymbal to make unique sound ?

godlike O.o

[forthesounds]

@DarkRezo it's a china crash/splash. it's supposed to look like that to give that unique sound.

[Lastshadow94]

@forthesounds The one with the piece knocked out of it?

[forthesounds]

@Lastshadow94 yes, it's a china splash. you can tell by the shape of it. But i think that this one is custom made for Thomas. Haven't seen one like this, do you see the top cymbal with bumps in it, that's a china splash to, but it's upside down.

[kekkomaggot94]

First time I see B8 and AAX Sabian Crash together...strange but beautiful combination

(sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)

[zachf914]

@kekkomaggot94 i use b8s with my aa's and they quite flow together

[xXbrick84Xx]

Love the wuhan!!

[Luke50001]

@xXbrick84Xx Yeah its great!

[blacklotus808]

I want that right arm.

[AFfloodOfAdrenaline]

And Haake would never have B8 and wuhan on his set !

[tokarev445]

Jeez what time sig is this? lol

[EbiNoUmmei]

@tokarev445 Almost every Meshuggah song is in 4/4 but it's so oddly patterned that it sounds different.

[otherside65]

@tokarev445 if youd actually listen to the snare its pretty easy to tell its in 4/4 DURRRRRR

[oaklandgroove77]

Dude, Mini-Tomas!

[MetallicOpeth]

fucking amazing, really well done bro!

[moeforever7]

That snare...wtf?

[MetallicOpeth]

@moeforever7 yea man! in this song instead of a cymbal carrying the song its the snare, so whack, haake is the man

[Tool78Maynard]

the ending of this song gets me everytime..Awesome cover man!!

[developmnp]

amazing and broken song!

[dietschbrian]

you should scrap that B8, makes a good drummer such as yourself sounds like garbage.

[TheRadrussian1]

@dietschbrian b8 crashes are the shit. they are by far the best bottom line crash out there.

[OnTheBlocksMedia]

I friggin love Wuhan cymbals.

[TimAndEricAreTheBest]

Fuck ya! Normally these covers of Tomas Haake are a joke but holy shit you killed it. That Wuhan china was sick too.

[Whettel]

haha looks like you're modeling your kit after tomas's?

[mattehFLCL]

does that snare really sound like that or is it the room/mic?

[crazyashell14]

YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME BRO!

[nistelkvist]

shit happens.. ;-)

[ZeTaEXiSTeNZ]

Amazing cover, looked like your china was gonna snap at some points haha :P

What pedals do you use? I notice you have the hit hat going for a lot of it where I thought you'd need both pedals. I've got a Speed Cobra, but taking a while to get used to it.

[lifeseclipsemusic]

Thumbs up if you think that floor tom is gonna shit the bed soon! Awesome cover bro. Make moar.

[toxendon]

WHAAT+ is that Haake??

[Darrylizer1]

Nicely done! I saw you look at the camera when you made one mistake, but what a complex song. Better than I can do for sure.

[plantera07]

wish i could do that

[alextwdrums]

great cover, so tight!

[xxsoltysxx]

From this view, you look like young Haake :D

[Premoguys]

Of course he is not Tomas Haake, he misses the God-injection tattoo on his right arm.

[dcboy98]

your snare sounds really.... lame? you're an accurate drummer though.

[paperpro3223]

Looks just like Thomas..Haha Awsome

[LunarLionheart]

I thought this WAS Haake. Solid cover man.

[Mugenloo]

Those Rugs are hardcore

[BenjaminProd]

Awesome man! Also, I thought you were Haake hehe.

[PINQINQ]

amazing!

[Superblackbelly]

Amazing version!!!



[drummer7635]

For a cover of one of the most off beat and unique drummers I have to say just one thing ( VERY NICE )!!!!!!

[Meshuggaaaahhhhh]

The only difference is Tomas does not blink, react, breathe or glance while playing

[barneycockburn]

@Meshuggaaaahhhhh He just stared the drum down and they play themselves...

[allmetaliswelcome]

kick miced? sounds good

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

Whoever is holding the camera is one tall bastard.

[allmetaliswelcome]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls yea, the ceiling

[holboxsvai]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls its only me

[rwmerlot777]

penal glands :3

[ursolame666]

.....nice work! hard song!

[toeseds33fool]

lol, yah wuhans are cheaaap as fuk, break so fast, but they sound amazingly awesome!

[psychotickurt]

One word pops to mind whilst trying to count the timing of this song...."WHAT???!!??"

[t3hdanman]

@psychotickurt And then take into account that the whole thing is 4/4 o.o Patterns overlapping like NOBODY's business.

[rutherk1g]

very nice. You even have his demeanor when you play. I am convinced that Tomas has no desire to play the drums but he has to or else the planets will collide.

[MaYbYl8eR]

I was about to post "WTF is haake doing with a B8", but then i read the comments.

[Fangelus]

Nice one at 1:40... ;) - and if someone would have shown me this video and said I was looking at Tomas Haake, I would have surely believed that... amazing cover!

[KillTheEmo]

One person doesnt know what a pineal gland is.

[xlr8r9999]

i have this 20" k ride from zildjan its a beast you can crash it or use it like a ride

[Visurit]

Probably one of the only drum covers on YouTube i have watched all the way through, I don't even really like meshuggah but this was fucking cool.

[CafeDkP13]

haha i thought he was tomas util he mistaken lol great drumer man!

[kaakatin]

Holy shit batman. I couldn't even hear all that cymbal wankery on the album.

[arsehole420]

ouch that hurts my brain working that out.

[shavoserjical]

i envy you cause you look exactly like tomas haake and you play like him! you fucking ROCK! im gonna subscribe to your channel! just cause of the simple fact of your resemblence.

[ichibanhahn]

i listen to this more than the original song man, i just love being able to feel surounded by the drums in this one

[macadoolahicky]

you look like haake, and do serious justice this song. love it

[5diddo]

my best to cover is Stengah. :D But strangely, I have my hi-hat on the right, rather than the left like most, and I use my right foot, rather than the left.

[Rullknufs]

You're fucking aswesome!

[Psycrologist]

What a nice china cymbal

[nistelkvist]

@Psycrologist Yeah its good. Its a 18" Wuhan China, cheap, but fucking awesome. Sadly it is broken now :(

[howycwap]

@nistelkvist

oh no! 60$, i expect youve got another by now amirite?

[xlr8r9999]

@nistelkvist i should buy you a new one cause i approve of your drumming

[xlr8r9999]

@nistelkvist i have a 16 inch one now and i love that thing to death

[FORTY848]

@nistelkvist get a btb20 18 inch, it's awesome

[j0intvEnture]

@nistelkvist wuhan FTW!!! i had one back in the day! also loving the left stand tom. we have alot in common :)

[xlr8r9999]

@Psycrologist dude the china is only 50 dollars at guitar center im getting one today



[MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn]

If someone told me this was Tomas Haake I wouldn't know the difference

[nistelkvist]

@MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn hehe! Nice!

[nekku19]

@MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn Yeah, he even looks like him :D

[t3hdanman]

@MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn The only way I knew it wasn't him was the drumset. Tomas's kit is so big Q_Q I want! xD Excellent cover, man

[CafeDkP13]

@MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn yah fuking cloned guy xD but so much unperfections gave him away haha. any way still a great cover and a great drummer

[Royal761115]

Johnny Bokn...it`s awsame :)

[negatia78180]

bravo !

[rololoo]

The fuck? You must be Tomas' brother lol

Anyway rather nice cover

[HeavyMetals666]

også åssen du takta med hi-haten støtt i den introdelen. awsome:)

[HeavyMetals666]

Det var sykt!!

Det først bare å skjønne den takta er jeg imprnert over!

Digger dead trooper btw. så dere i oslo i vår/sommer

[dujl]

Also I hadn't seen this song covered yet, so props to you for that!

[nistelkvist]

@dujl hehe! thats why I did it... some mistakes here and there, but shit happens... tricky song..

[MitchReitmanOnDrums]

@nistelkvist Haha, you said "'but shit"

[dujl]

Haha nice job dude! You kinda got the Haake look down too! :D
