VIDEO:
This is a Drum Cover of a Medley I made from Meshuggah's 2008 album release ObZen and is the copyrighted property of its owner(s).

From this album I choose my favourite parts from each song, cut them up and made the medley in Protools. I didn't alter the pitch or speed of any song. I wanted the transitions between each song to be as smooth and unnoticeable as i could whilst still keeping similar energy between songs. For the song 'Bleed' I really love the simplistic vocal phrasing over the opening riff so i played it on the snare to complement the part. All the other songs i played as close to the recording as i could.

Thanks for watching and enjoying Meshuggah and Tomas Haake as much as I do!

Cheers,
Troy Wright

That 20" HHX Ride is the best ride to crash-ride ever.

[wrightdrums]

@drummakid101 Yeah its a 21 groove ride. I just got a 22 heavy ride, which i played in my latest video, which i think is an even better ride to crash!

[breakinknucklesruler]

liked it all except what you did to bleed with the snare that was pretty bad

[wrightdrums]

@breakinknucklesruler thanks mate, i changed the part in bleed a bit because i already covered the entire song earlier. check it out and let me know what you think

[Turco949]

Brilliant, really impressive performance that deserves a ton more view than 61K+. Well done mate!

[wrightdrums]

@Turco949 Thanks man, I had a lot of fun working on this video!

[Era9Official]
