Meshuggah Medley Drum Cover - Tomas Haake by STAN BICKNELL

*Here is my Mars Volta Medley - Jon Theodore

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMXRc1UDR3w

This was filmed and recorded as one continuous, single take with no editing to the videos or drums in post production

I put this medley together to show my interpretation of some of my favorite Tomas Haake/Meshuggah moments. I did this solely to challenge myself.

Once I had chosen the grooves I wanted I arranged them using Ableton Live with no edits or tempo changes. I was aiming for flow, groove and climax with the arrangement.
I committed the whole medley to memory and learnt it all by ear. I do not transcribe.

I played along to the medley in my in ears with no click track except at 1:54 and 8:26 where the drums stop momentarily.

The details of the tracks are:
0:00 'Stengah' - Nothing (0:00-0:48, 1:43-2:06, 4:20-4:44, 5:16-5:53)
1:54 'Glints Collide' - Nothing (1:11-1:24 x2)
2:21 'Rational Gaze' - Nothing (0:00-0:28, 2:24-3:00)
3:25 'Perpetual Black Second' - Nothing (2:47-3:13) +1 bar freestyle
3:52 'Spasm' - Nothing (2:32-2:46)
4:06 'This Spiteful Snake' - obZen (3:16-3:30)
4:20 'In Death In Life - Catch 33 (0:00-0:15)
4:36 'Dancers to a Discordant System' - obZen (0:48-1:03, 4:09-4:25, 5:57-6:11)
5:20 'Pineal Gland Optics' - obZen (0:00-0:30, 0:59-1:21)
6:12 'Electric Red' - obZen (1:01-1:45, 4:39-5:05)
7:23 'Lethargica' - obZen (3:03-3:30)
7:50 'obZen' - obZen (3:02-3:36)
8:24 'I' - I (16:01-16:18, 16:58-17:16, 19:59- 21:00)
