The image of a big gong where one of his crash cymbals should be is funny. Imagining him playing Bleed with an occasional high pitched, short lived crash being switched to a deep, multiple measure GOOONNNGGGGG has me laughing so hard I’m crying and I can’t breathe.

It was really neat to see each of individual pieces of the kit that one of my biggest drumming inspirations uses. I do one day hope to be on the same level as Tomas. Also that clip of him forgetting to switch back to his American accent at 6:17 has me dying.
I keep hearing about drummers who are supposed to be "the shit" and when I check them out I am often underwhelmed. I'm rarely impressed and hardly ever excited. It got to the point where I started thinking I might be overly critical. That I might even have unrealistic expectations of what a HUMAN drummer can actually deliver. Then I hear Tomas Haake again...
I've been a Meshuggah fan since 1995.....this video has to be the most informative, insightful video I've seen in a long time. Super Cool!! Very interesting to get in Tomas brain about this stuff!
Finding a comment that isn't about "I use it as a crash" here is harder than finding one that isn't about "Ninooo" in all Gordon Ramsay related content.
Every time i watch tomas, i’m taken aback by his command of the american accent. It’s almost perfect. Maybe one of two words per sentence give him away. Other than that, he basically sounds like some dude who grew up in the midwest
I’ve seen other rig rundowns and they never hit the different parts to hear them. I hope they start getting these guys to play them so you can hear it and then have then describe the sound.
I'm sure Tomas has been speaking English for several decades at this point, but his English is so crisp and authentic sounding. Swedes seem to speak English as a 2nd language so much better than most other Europeans, Asians, Africans, etc. Their accents just sound like a mix of northern European + the midwest so they're not difficult to understand.
What a great interview! The questions were so precise and thought provoking and warranted equally as interesting responses. You can always tell when someone is passionate about what they're interviewing about and that when asked the right question a normally stoic guy will really give you some golden responses! Wow.

Nice on wincett sticks..I'm a Tommy Aldridge signature stick guy..17" and oak for consistency..I also use a drywall saw to rough up the sticks for loosening of grip..
When I need something because I broke it I go to the music store and ask for a thingy, then the music store man asks me what kind of thingy ? and so I point out the thingy

Tomas is an unreal talent. But more importantly, seems like such a good dude with literally zero ego. A gem.
They be on that 🍄
thats where the most yoda masters behave. ❤
Tomas could be talking about the science of making a perfect ice cream sundae and I'd be utterly enthralled.

Fuck they sound good live... Haake looks like a super chill guy, love his interviews :D
Mario Duplantier next please
Trick pedal user here. I'm blown away he went back to that old, crappy spring Tama pedal. Not knocking Tama, I was brought up on Iron Cobras.
And why do you have a bundle of major league baseball bats on stage? Tomas: Those are my sticks!

Thomas is one of the coolest and humble, master drummers out there. He's just so chill in every interview I've seen him in.
“This is the observable universe. I use it as a crash”
2:25 And here is a vibrating Tomas Haake.
6:17 Tomas went full Viking for a split second.
he _is_ full viking.
Not really, vikings have been extinct for a thousand years.
BeardedDanishViking tell that to his beard.😂
If a beard is all one needs to be identified as a viking in your world, you need to read a fecking book.
@@Khazandar wooooooooooosh
"This is your mom, the heaviest matter in the universe, nothing outweighs this object. But I use it as a crash."
By far my favourite drummer, he´s a monster when playing.
A little known fact is that Tomas was actually the Hindenburg pilot. People wanted to use it as a zeppelin but Tomas thought differently I guess.
underrated comment
Excellent delivery…so good I’ll use it as a crash.
- there's your name on the stick! - yeah, yeah, i guess... :D :D
This dude can count to 100 as good as no one else
One day hes just going to rip of his human mask to reveal a super computer powered cyborg in a human suit
True!
And he'll use his human suit as a crash!

Does he use them as a crash too?
"The other day I ran into Chuck Norris and I now use him as a crash..." Thomas Haake
That was a fucking awsome comment :D
that 21'' china is massive. he has such a great kit.
Every time i watch tomas, i’m taken aback by his command of the american accent. It’s almost perfect. Maybe one of two words per sentence give him away. Other than that, he basically sounds like some dude who grew up in the midwest
Many people in the midwest are Scandinavian in origin so maybe that explains the accent.
I come back once a year to use this video as a crash.
If you told me this dude was from St. Paul, Minnesota I'd fully believe you. Guy just masters the technical aspects of everything I guess.
Haake is incredible man! I can listen to him to play all day
wish they would put out the full footage of the live playing. the sound is fantastic!
"This is a pack of skittles and Hershey bar taped together, but I use it mostly as a crash"
Every cymbal right before any gig: *Brace yourselves brothers and sisters, here it goes again.*
Sit down kids and listen to this master of metal !
10:47 -- it's a Tegera 9105 work glove!
That was awesome!
Loved the vid but it would be even better with at least a hit per drum/cymbal.
A stero pair should do the trick.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I’ve seen other rig rundowns and they never hit the different parts to hear them. I hope they start getting these guys to play them so you can hear it and then have then describe the sound.
“These are what my drums sound like by themselves. I use them as a crash.”
I'm sure Tomas has been speaking English for several decades at this point, but his English is so crisp and authentic sounding. Swedes seem to speak English as a 2nd language so much better than most other Europeans, Asians, Africans, etc. Their accents just sound like a mix of northern European + the midwest so they're not difficult to understand.

I believe Terry Bozzio also uses the compression hats.
I love how precise he is in his choices. He has super specific reasons for choosing his sounds, his gloves, etc. Impressive.
I know fuck-all about drumming, but I could listen Tomas talk about it for hours❤️
That's awesome he uses Tama Speed Cobras. I just got a Speed Cobra double pedal and absolutely love it. Really fast and smooth but with lots of power.
Jeez, those sticks are like logs.
Awesome guy, seems super nice.
Every now and then I come back to this video just because the comments are so damn good😂😂😂

Great interview with the best drummer of all time!
This is a 8mm bell brass snare.
I like a darker sound, so i use it as a crash.
fav drummer grandpa
"These are the spaceships I snagged from Area 51, they are used as my secondary main open hi-hat"
I wonder if Tomas Haake has any idea how savage a drummer he is talking with
who is he???
MMTV
thx for the anwer but i meant the interviewer
Evan Prendergast not as good as the robot himself
Jens from 7:34 sounds on point for this song can tell his voice was just right at this section of the tour.
Hell yeah. Awesome to see Tomas uses tama speed cobras. IMO, the new updated iron cobras and speed cobras are the best pedals ever to my feet.
Glad Oisín is doing well. He used to play for one of my favorite groups, which is Enemies.
I'm of that opinion too. If it's not a hi-hat, it should always be like with girls. Make sure they're over 18.
His speech is really flowing like a human. Robots these days are really well programmed.

I dont even know anything about percussion gear, but its very interesting to hear how tomas describes how he uses it
Sublime percussionist
We want the whole concert video.
To use it as a crash?
This is the tire to an 18 wheeler, it’s not what most metal drummers go for ...but I use it as a crash
none of this makes any sense to me but I love hearing about it all.
