Tomas Haake playing

[neeminaatan]

Tomas does some things that no other metal drummers sadly ever apply in their playing. They're called dynamics, ghost-notes, rudimental filling and grooving. It's a shame that no one else in the field really follows him because everybody are way more interested in getting the bass drum patterns trough and finding out the gear he's using. After all those are the basis of modern drumming technique. Metal generally sounds like whacking singles as loud one can whack. For some that's all there is.

[WillHerndon]

sooo.. can anyone shed some light on how to play the groove in the beginning? lol i guess its just some super-syncopated swing stuff, but it sounds awesome. and at the moment i dont even wanna think about tackling the rest of what he plays in this video for fear that my brain will explode

[snigelsnor]

Fläskigt är ett fint ord att beskriva Haakes trumspel med. :)

[groovingsoul]

It's a SWING but in a METAL version.

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

fucking shit..i blacked out can someone please explain to me what this video is?

[raiburn1]

its called bad assery. btw, good call, munns muff is quite nice.

[TheDave000]

As always, the man is incredible. When comparing great drummers ( or any musicians or any artist) there can never be a best, just people you enjoy listening to. I love listening to this man, and thats all that matters.

May he make music for years to come.

[Bassbait]

This guy and george kollias are my two favorites.

[jonas227]

Thank you man! I've been waiting to see this comment on youtube for years!

[MapexRG]

fuck off illiterate shmuck. "anyone who doesn't recognize this asshole as a genius is stupid"? when did he say that, oh ya he didn't. when did i say i want your dick? oh ya i didn't. Idc what you have to say so go ahead and respond and see if i read it.

[MapexRG]

[poopinonsomeshit]

do your youtube politics elsewhere stupid bitch.

IF YOU DONT LIKE MESHUGGAH YOURE STUPID AS FUCK.

twat.

[Bassbait]

Not true. Trolls feed on acknowledgment. If you just ignore them, they will try and make you seem like a baby for doing so but if they continue to go after you when you choose to ignore them, they lose. They have no life. There are always better things to do.

[poopinonsomeshit]

yeah tomas haake is the shit fuck all you twat waffles.

listen to metal.

[raiburn1]

just what i was thinking, twat waffles

[meshuggahfan8191]

noooo just stop dude

u have the complete wrong impression of me and theres no point in me trying to explain what i am about so honestly... fuck off. ur obnoxious and u have started shit on youtube with i've counted at least 5 other ppl! hahaha ur outnumbered u fucker

[meshuggahfan8191]

god can u get a fucking life dude?! and honestly, tomas haake is a genius at playing the drums and anyone who does not recognize that is not stupid but just is not as aware of every single amazing thing he does. shut the fuck up. if u do not like him, fine my me but voice ur opinions elsewhere

[Darkman2023]

What about mike Portnoy?

[TysEnz]

what about him.

[vegita1998]

what about him indeed.

[trickmast]

What about him indeed. Indeed.

[dbo0]

what about him indeed. indeed. indeed.

[meshuggahfan8191]

what about him indeed. indeed. indeed. indeed?

[grathoff]

tomas haake is a machine....danny carey is creative as it gets...but chris adler is god...

[TysEnz]

LMFAO!!!!

[ZeppelinRules]

So much fail in this. The only true statement is the bit about Haake.

[Odin87th]

Don't overestimate Dave Lombardo... he was a (co)founder of fast thrash metal drumming, but he is a rookie compared to Tomas Haake.

[poopinonsomeshit]

lombardo might be a lil quicker, but haake is damn drum machine. It's not about who's the better drummer bc theres no answer, it's about whos better in their particular field. Lombardo would own haake in some thrash, but tom would make his brain bleed with technicalities

[nocampin]

damn what a beast

[petersinol]

Lombardo is very good but Hakke is a robot! Walking computer!

[poopinonsomeshit]

ima go ahead and agree with both of those statements. rock on

[plopenstien]

i bet he's what happens when thor fucks a super computer

[meshuggahfan8191]

HAHAHAHA. that completely sums him up!!!!

[Stickalas]

Haha that is fucking genius XD

[yamamato44]

Yes... Lombardo...

[Hipporangerz]

Dont forget Dave Lombardo!

[ThinkmanSAm]

Hmmm.... top two drummers : Danny Carrey and Tomas Haake, most original, no question about it

[stargazera]

A-fucking-men.

[evanowens84]

@ThinkmanSAm  both rad.... you gotta throw chris pennie in there too

[Nubnut]

@ThinkmanSAm Gavin Harrison? Check out his stuff like Anesthetize or anything from the Pasic festival, he's easily as original as Carrey and Haake. And in some ways even better technically (he's a jazz drummer who became an extreme metal drummer. So you can imagine what he brings to the table).

[shadowfoam]

@ThinkmanSAm I'd have to suggest Morgen Agren as contender for a three-way-tie.

[Sindoko12]

@shadowfoam if we ever need the universe to not exist anymore we can have all three play at the same time :)

[progtrauma]

my top 5 metal drummers (without any specific order): tomas haake, peter wildoer, virgil donnati, mike portnoy, bobby jarzombek.

[Gatekeepah]

Don't forget Charlie Zeleny! That guy's fuckin' talent, too.

[Ingabilder]

Danny Carey? He is better then Mike I find.

[CyrusGuitar]

get rid of portnoy and you have a great list. Maybe put Sean Reinert in his place.

[russelsparadox]

yeah, that thing he's playing with his left foot is a couple of remo roto-tom frames stacked on a hi-hat stand, which was sort of invented by Terry Bozzio, I think...

[marshalfaulkner]

wow wow wow!! I want more haake jazz solos. Thanks for the upload

[Trymson666]

Thx for info it was very helpful ;]

[flungbungdung]

trymson, its a remo roto-tom frame "hi-hat" stand

[Trymson666]

What is that thing in 0.28?? it's some kind of hit hat or somthin'?

[GarytheIrishDrummer]

its a roto tom hi-hat,2 small roto tom rims on a hi-hat stand..Terry Bozzio uses them

[Trymson666]

Thx for info, now i understand ;]

[notransitory3]

foolishly awesome

[flungbungdung]

awesome, cool to see haake play like this...
