Plz drop a comment for the algorithm! It helps so much! What are you top 5 metal drummers! I'd be interested to know! Also what do u guys think maybe I'll react to Thomas Haake for the next 5 videos lol. As I learn Bleed and hear more of his stuff all I want to do is listen to him lol. BUT I could definitly see reacting to Matt garska too. METAL!!
Top 5 for me are: Dave Lombardo Tomas Haake Elliott Hoffman Nicko Mcbrain (his single kick game is insane, caught somewhere in time is basically single kick bleed) Three way tie between Matt Garstka, Mario Duplantier, and Neil Peart Also we will never ever complain about more Tomas reactions
Dude that list rocks, I love Nicko my buddy played bass back in the day and he was obsessed with there bass player so we listen to iron maiden a lot. Such a great and original band. I love rock in rio 🤘🤘🤘
A top 5 is really hard to choose, because we're blessed to be living in a time with so many absolutely incredible drummers around. So I'm just gonna choose a top 5 based entirely on whose bands I have listened to the most: Tomas Haake, Bryce Butler, Austin Archey, Matt Garstka, Mario Duplantier. If you haven't heard their work, I strongly recommend checking out Larnell Lewis, Clay Aeschliman and Forrest Rice. All from very different genres but absolutely incredible drummers.
@@yarpyarp85There are some other drummers you should check out. Senri in the band The Jazz Avengers / Just pick a song. Haruna in the band LOVEBITES and the song When Destinies Align or any of the songs, her cymbal playing is awesome. and Fumiya in the band Unlucky Morpheus / Just pick a song.... He has some just drumvideo as well.
Dude yes this list is so good, I haven’t heard of Bryce but everyone else in phenomenal. Also I went to the same music school as Lernell Lewis and he was an instructor there when I studied. Unfortunately I never got the chance to study with him 😢😢. Thanks for watching eh!
Wow I'm happy to see Reinert get some love in the comments!!! I have to mention Kai Hahto, he really is a great drummer and no one mentioned him yet. Another vote for Hannes Grossmann too!
@@yarpyarp85 Awesome 👏 Just remember the track literally blasts off 1 second after you start the video after a very fast 1-2-3-4 so be ready when you hit that start button ☝️🤘😂
In no particular order my top 5 would be: Tomas Haake, Mario Duplantier, Vladislav Ulasevich (Jinjer), Alex Bent (Trivium), and Brann Dailor (Mastodon)
@@yarpyarp85 Alex Bent is self taught from watching RUclips videos (he's like 30 y/o) 🤯 Vlad is a classically trained pianist who is also self taught and plays an open-handed jazz style setup.
For a first reaction to Vlad i request the live drum playthrough of mediator and/or the song vortex, but i am not sure if there is a playthrough available.
@@yarpyarp85 Vlad is a top notch drummer. I'm not even going to say he's a metal drummer because I'm sure the guy can play any style. He plays piano, guitar, drums, and I've seen him play an upright bass. He has written the vast majority of Jinjer's music since he joined. The dude is a musical genius in my opinion.
It's hard to pick a top 5, I'm sure to leave someone out, but if I had to choose off the top of my head: 5. Navene Kopperweis 4. Sebastian Lanser 3. Matt Garstka 2. Spencer Prewett 1. Marco Minnemann Honorable mentions go to: Flo Mournier, Hannes Grossman, Darkside, Gene Hoglan, Trym, Nick "Le Fou" Welles, Sean Reinhart, John Longstreth, Lyle Cooper and David Diepold. I can't include Alex Rudinger in my personal list, but he also deserves a mention; his absence is only because the times he's in projects I enjoy he tends to only be doing live work and hasn't contributed writing drum parts to any albums I personally love, but there's no denying his ability is equal to any of the above mentioned. Love the new setup and the Clockworks reaction! Hope all is well and you had a good Canada day!
we need an origin video now. they're the kings of the fastest technical death metal you'll hear. drummers name is john longstreth. i recommend the saligia playthrough on the menil channel
In no order Jamie St Merat, Eric Moore (Favorite for Metal and of course MOORE!), John Longstreth, Flo Mounier, and Sean Reinert.... And Animal from The Muppets!!!!!!!!!! ANIMAL!!!!
bahahah yessss dude I'm so glade you give Eric his due, the guy is quite possibly one of the best drummers ever IMO. Animal is so sick also!!! F ing AAAANNNIMMMALAALLLLL
My top 5 without thinking too hard are probably Jamie St. Merat, Eloy Casagrande, Billy Rymer, Thomas Haake, and Matt Garstka Fun reaction as always dude, and sounds like you're killin' it on Bleed!
Bro Thanks so much! Don't think I've heard of Billy Rymer but I'm gonna check him out. The rest of the list is f ing solid, definitely similar to mine, I'd only add Chris Turner guys a freak of freaks!
@yarpyarp85 yeah dude, Chris is a monster, he's been a huge inspiration for my footwork more recently! Billy was the Dillinger Escape Plan's last drummer, basically plays jazz but amps the intensity and speed up to 11 haha
@@yarpyarp85 He was The Dillinger Escape Plan`s drummer, and he is currently the drummer of END My top 5 are 1.Thomas Haake(Meshuggah) 2.Kenny Grohowski(Imperial Triumphant) 3.Jamie St Merat(Ulcerate) 4.Spencer Prewett(Archspire) 5.Billy Rymer(END, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan) and my honerable mentions are George Kollias(Nile), Hannes Grossman(Alkaloid), and some other of my favorite drummers are Abe Cunningham(Deftones) and Morgan Rose(Sevendust)
@@thetruth4654 Ah a lot of people are saying Billy Rymer... I didn't realize he was from Dillinger. I was a fan during the John Theadore and Chris pennie days, I gotta check him out I guess. He's on there new stuff I assume? Dude ABE is a legend and he has some of the best recorded snare sounds I've ever heard. Sevendust is sick too!
My top 5 drummers are: Kai Hahto Tomas Haake Vladislav Ulasevish Eugeni Novikov (slaughter to prevail) Nao Kawakita (maximum the hormone) not only a very good drummer but also a very good singer.
Glad you got to this one! I'll never be able to fathom how some drummers can have extreme limb independence. It's like having 4 brains, one per arm and leg.
I think you should check out Vlad Ulasevich from Jinjer. He is classically trained pianist that learned to play drums to be with the band. He has a few drum play throughs from their catalog. Each song is so unique for a metal band. I also think you would find his kit arrangement quite unique also.
Nick Yacyshyn (specifically his work in SUMAC and Genghis Tron) is an incredibly underrated drummer, super creative and dynamic. Tyler Coburn of Thou and Yautja is in a similar vein. Both are definitely up there in my favorites alongside Haake and Jamie St. Merat.
Dude thank u for these recommendations I’ve been checking out almost everything people recommend and it’s been great. Especially ulcerate and juniper. 🤘🤘
@@yarpyarp85 No problem! Always happy to recommend good music. I'd really recommend checking out some of Nick's SUMAC drum cams, just really wildly creative stuff.
Blown away by your dedication in learning Bleed. Keeping this focus for so long and persevering and noticing your progress after the efforts you've put into it, I am admirative. This is the best mindset! I have re-started bass, after a long time not really playing and I don't manage to keep this focus, if I struggle more than 10 minutes on a riff, I move on. Needless to say this is not the right mindset to progress :D "Tomas Haake's feet, rated X" - hahaha so silly, but funny
My friend what a nice message and I really appreciate the complements. It’s all about where u r in your journey on the instrument. If u stay focused through those tough long sessions of learning something that u think is simple, u WILL get better. Consistency is the absolute key. Do some sort of practice everyday (every single day.) it will blow your mind how much better you are in a year, in 5 years (things will reall pick up) and somewhere around 10 it will all be worth it. One day at a time my friend. Seriously thanks for the kind words. Hope to see u I’m the comments again scosstard. 🤘🤘🤘
If you feel like it maybe check out the drummer Kenny Grohowski from the band Imperial Triumphant. Haake said in an interview that he thought Kenny was the most interesting drummer in metal at the moment. There are a few drum cams of Kenny on RUclips, but if you ever get around to one, I’d suggest the song Atomic Age. His playing has a more obvious jazz influence, so you’d probably dig it. Hope you have a nice day!
That song is so great. If you ever want to see some great breakdowns of Meshuggah's song structures and their repeating patterns, check out Yogev Gabay's channel here. He does great visual representations of their repeating patterns.
You should dive in to Kai Hahto of nightwish and previous Wintersun (amazing drumming) and rotten sounds. And darkwood my betrothed latest album. He has won prices as finlands best jazzdrummer at the same time he played in rotten sound. He is a funking machin and an amazing drummer
Yeah this would be my favorite Meshuggah track by some way and I mean no slight to the rest of an amazing catalog...this track just CRUSHES man. Got the time and interest maybe check out another bad fella, Vlad Ulasevich of Jinjer. Think you'd dig him for sure 🤟. Cheers, love the channel!
Dear Matt, you are funny and Canadian. My favorite metal drummers are: Jamie St. Merat Mike Smith Lille Gruber Matt Kilner (highly recommend his The Bone Sculpture video) Chris Adler I wanted to be pick more esoteric ones but fuck it. Hope you're enjoying your metal journey!
Michael thanks so much for writing this. Seems like Jamie is on everyone’s list. I feel like he is very underrated. Also I love Chris Adler, I covered a couple of lamb of god songs. The newer one is better. 🤘🤘🤘 thanks for watching!
Brandon Morgan of Misery Signals Craig Reynolds of stray from the path Matt Garstka of animals of leader Kyle Brownlee of counterparts Jay Postones of tesseract
Really like your jazzy look on things Meshuggah does, I urge you to look into Spasm, Stengah and other slower Meshuggah-tunes, his playing in slow tempos are just as delicious. As for top five fav drummers I think Haake is on top for me, not only the drumming, but his demeanor (such a nice dude), writing and just over all composure; and in no particular order after that is J.P. Gaster (Clutch, so frigging good), Ben Koller (Converge, Mutoid Man, I think he's kinda unique and funny as F, check out his channels), Michel "Away" Langevin (Voïvod), Dave Lombardo (do I really have to write bands? But it is just his way of delivering thunderous stuff, I mean, check out Grip Inc's "Hostage to Heaven") and the perhaps best drummer of all, Morgan Ågren (just google him). There is *nothing* he can't do and his collab with Fredrik Thordendahl (of Meshuggah) is of the highest level.
Dude love this list, I have never heard of clutch but if u say they are great I gotta check em out. Also u do not have to write slayer. Legit one of the best heavy metal bands of all time. F ing SLLLAYYYERRRR🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey matt thanks for another real cool reaction. MIkrofone sounds much better and louder than befor. And I hope that you can react once to Dave Lombardo former drummer of Slayer. Because he is a real legend. Maybe you find a drumcam from the song Angel of Death or Raining Blood. That would be awesome. And then of xourse there are John Bonham the drummer of Led Zeppelin wich I tink is also cool to see your reaction to it. Because he is one of the best rockdrummer of all time. Greetings from switzerland Patrick
Pat! Hey man, thanks so much for watching and for the suggestions! Yes I think I have to react to Lombardo, he's the god father of thrash right and Led zepplin was one of my favourite bands when I was a kid, so I gotta bust some out for sure. Love from Canada my friend!
I believe it's a focus blur which is around the whole edge probably they thought it looked cooler for effect lol. Congrats on the new equipment. The awesome thing about Thomas is how tight his timing is that right hand is always on time. My top 5 favorite metal drummers: Joey Jordison Derek Roddy Nicholas Barker Francesco Paoli Dirk Meyer-Berhorn Great video to react to, oddly wasn't Neo Obliviscaris hmmmmm lol. Looking good on the bleed front tho congrats. Learning that one song is going to immensely help any drummer instantly elevate so its only good coming out of it. That left leg will get stronger too 🤘🏽
Bro thanks eh! Ya that’s how I feel too, I’m up for the challenge cuz I know it’s gonna make me a way better player overall. It’s hard to hyper focus on just one thing making it like 70 + % of my practice but I’m stoked to get to the other side. Sick list, I’ve actually only heard of two of this guys Derek and Joey. Joey is like one of the best of all time though, everything on Iowa was so ground breaking.
@yarpyarp85 I'm glad you've only heard of 2 gives you things to explore and hell yeah I can't wait to see the final product. And yes Joey is my#1 fav. I have both of his shares too
@FearTheDarkWolf exactly right. I’ve been checking so much of Jamie saint merat, the guy is so freaking good! And u mean snares right? Are they pearls or tama
I always love seeing a drummer's take on Haake. Love that you're into it, man. I'll drop a suggestion or two: Straight Groove- Do Not Look Down Chunk- I am Colossus Confusing- Phantoms Shifting pattern- God He Sees in Mirrors Trademark Meshuggah raw groove- Stengah Good stuff, man! 👍
Thanks so much brother, and thanks for all of the recommendations I check almost everything out that I see in the comments and it’s been amazing. I’ll check this out for sure🤘🤘👍👍
Another great vid! New gear looks real nice too! Another recommendation: Matt Kilner. He plays all the instruments in his band Nithing and he freaking hauls ass the whole time. Check out "Nithing - of those immortal, longing for decease playthrough".
By the authority invested in me from being from the same country as him, I can tell you that the "e" in "Haake" is not silent. "Tomas Haak-eh". I don't really care but you English speaking people seem to be very self conscious about saying names right.
If and when you end up checking sometihng for Kai Hahto, I wopuld recommend either Wintersun or Rotten Sound. Nightwish drum cams aren't really showing his full skill. Unfortunately there is not a lot out there from the time he was in Rotten Sound, but Obey is a good one, if not really the best sound quality. Pretty much all the Wintersun stuff is good quality. The comments have most of the big names, but I would add Baard Kolstad from Leprous in case you're not familiar with him already. The Sky is Red or Nighttime Disguise would be some of the good picks.
Thomas is quoted as saying it took him 6 months to learn to play the drums for "bleed" after he wrote them. If you have it figured out by then, it will be a stamina exercise. He also says all of their songs are in 4/4, so the entire group is just math nerds, I'm convinced 😆
The two things I like about your cover progress are the two things absent from most other covers. You're doing the ghost notes, and you're aware the foot pattern changes. It makes me lose interest when I see a bleed cover and it's a single pattern. You're already winning. Reaction was awesome. I love those switch ups on the snare, that part you like. Top 5 drummers... My list isn't in any order. Virgil Donati. Senri Kawaguchi. Frost (Satyricon). Jayson Sherlock (Mortification among others), Ted Kirkpatrick (the late, great drummer of Tourniquet). And I dunno... Thomas Lang, Zyean (Jiluka), Yuki (Versailles) More than 5... F. Edit: Ah, it's ok, only 5 were strictly metal. Only saw the question after the reaction. So, Dave Lombardo, Igor Cavalera, Lars (yes Lars. Not even going to respond to any comment on him. It's more than just the drums there.) and the drummer from a band called Believer (Dimensions album in particular, lots of wild ideas and playing time and subdivision) I'm probably missing plenty... I hate lists.
Did thanks so much and ya I agree, I’m thinking if I’m gonna do it might as well do it right… right? And that’s one hell of a list, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. 😉🤘
I don't know if you would, but how do you compose and 'feel' parts like this? Any insight from a player would be cool if you have it. Especially as you are beginning to learn some of his stuff.
I think I know what u r saying. A lot of what he “Thomas” does sounds so good because he has a really strong internalized quarter note pulse. So when he plays complicated things they always feel accurate. I assume he practice religiously or at least at one time did and when he did he did a lot of work lining things up agents his hi hat foot. Also he has done a substantial amount of ghost note work within that same context. I have a whole system I take my student through to help develop this and I will for sure be doing some lesson videos on it in the future. Stay tuned 🤘🤘🤘🤘☺️
Check out Mario Duplantier from Gojira. There are just drum tracks for him also for The Art of Dying. He's amazing in live videos of Gift of Guilt live at the Brixton Academy. Pray live at Red Rocks, He is truly one of the best you'll ever see. They don't call him Super Mario for nothing.
Just found your channel - if you haven't already, please check out Paul Seidel's official playthrough of Jurassic | Cretaceous by The Ocean. Top 5 drummers - Thomas Haake Paul Seidel Baard Kolstad Sean Reinert Matt Garstka Brann Dailor as a bonus, because 5 is not enough.
Hihats on the & is the fucking wave tho. I had no pocket until I started riding the left foot with the hi-hats. If you can play meshuggah clean you can probably learn almost anything
Pleeeeease try and pause when you're talking. You seem to get so caught up in what you're saying and looking away from the video you're meant to be watching
@@yarpyarp85 you listen, then react, then listen, then react. Not just talk over it constantly while it’s playing missing out on key moments. You spoke over 70% of the song a lot of times with irrelevant nonsense. The space bar is your friend . Just felt disrespectful to the performance dude
Ok I get what you’re saying and I was in a talkative mood this day and having a really good time, but I have only one question and it might be an obvious one….. you know you don’t have to watch right?? Why would u waste your time watching something u don’t like and then waste your time commenting on it annnnnd then waste your time coming back to comment again. Also I assume you’ll come back and comment again, just move on…. RUclips’s a big platform with lots of content. Buuut still thanks for the constructive criticism, I’ll take it to heart but with a gain of salt because I want to remain true to myself. 😉😉♥️
Plz drop a comment for the algorithm!
It helps so much!

Matt Kilner (highly recommend his The Bone Sculpture video)
Chris Adler
I wanted to be pick more esoteric ones but fuck it. Hope you're enjoying your metal journey!
Michael thanks so much for writing this. Seems like Jamie is on everyone’s list. I feel like he is very underrated. Also I love Chris Adler, I covered a couple of lamb of god songs. The newer one is better. 🤘🤘🤘 thanks for watching!
Bill Burr said it best. Tomas is your favorite bands drummers favorite drummer
Ah ya I love bill so cool he’s a drummer and a helicopter pilot ☝️💪💪
new equipment looks great
Thanks mom!!! Thanks you for helping me too, love you!
new camera looks so good
I know right and I love the 360 one too!!!!!!! Who bought me that again!?!?!?!?
Pretty sure you'll be done before christmas at the rate you're going! Keep kicking ass
Aaahh my man, thanks for the vote of confidence. I think I can too, 5 months is a long ass time. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Brandon Morgan of Misery Signals
Craig Reynolds of stray from the path
Matt Garstka of animals of leader
Kyle Brownlee of counterparts

Yoooo Craig Reynolds getting some love. I love that guy, love his commentary and so happy he’s been getting more and more successful. 🤘🤘
The new equipment looks fantastic Matthew
Dad!!! Thanks so much and thank u for everything. Love u
Really like your jazzy look on things Meshuggah does, I urge you to look into Spasm, Stengah and other slower Meshuggah-tunes, his playing in slow tempos are just as delicious.
As for top five fav drummers I think Haake is on top for me, not only the drumming, but his demeanor (such a nice dude), writing and just over all composure; and in no particular order after that is J.P. Gaster (Clutch, so frigging good), Ben Koller (Converge, Mutoid Man, I think he's kinda unique and funny as F, check out his channels), Michel "Away" Langevin (Voïvod), Dave Lombardo (do I really have to write bands? But it is just his way of delivering thunderous stuff, I mean, check out Grip Inc's "Hostage to Heaven") and the perhaps best drummer of all, Morgan Ågren (just google him). There is *nothing* he can't do and his collab with Fredrik Thordendahl (of Meshuggah) is of the highest level.
Dude love this list, I have never heard of clutch but if u say they are great I gotta check em out. Also u do not have to write slayer. Legit one of the best heavy metal bands of all time. F ing SLLLAYYYERRRR🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey matt thanks for another real cool reaction. MIkrofone sounds much better and louder than befor. And I hope that you can react once to Dave Lombardo former drummer of Slayer. Because he is a real legend. Maybe you find a drumcam from the song Angel of Death or Raining Blood. That would be awesome. And then of xourse there are John Bonham the drummer of Led Zeppelin wich I tink is also cool to see your reaction to it. Because he is one of the best rockdrummer of all time. Greetings from switzerland Patrick
Pat! Hey man, thanks so much for watching and for the suggestions! Yes I think I have to react to Lombardo, he's the god father of thrash right and Led zepplin was one of my favourite bands when I was a kid, so I gotta bust some out for sure. Love from Canada my friend!
Vinnie Paul, Neal Peart, Eloy Casagrande, Mario Duplanter, Thomas Hakke
No one is above another.
I have not yet seen any RUclipsr pronounce Haake the right way. It´s not Hawk, it´s two syllables Ha-keh
Ok I’ll be the first then! ☝️
I believe it's a focus blur which is around the whole edge probably they thought it looked cooler for effect lol. Congrats on the new equipment.
The awesome thing about Thomas is how tight his timing is that right hand is always on time.
My top 5 favorite metal drummers:
Joey Jordison
Derek Roddy
Nicholas Barker
Francesco Paoli
Dirk Meyer-Berhorn
Great video to react to, oddly wasn't Neo Obliviscaris hmmmmm lol.
Looking good on the bleed front tho congrats. Learning that one song is going to immensely help any drummer instantly elevate so its only good coming out of it. That left leg will get stronger too 🤘🏽
Bro thanks eh!
Ya that’s how I feel too, I’m up for the challenge cuz I know it’s gonna make me a way better player overall. It’s hard to hyper focus on just one thing making it like 70 + % of my practice but I’m stoked to get to the other side.
Sick list, I’ve actually only heard of two of this guys Derek and Joey. Joey is like one of the best of all time though, everything on Iowa was so ground breaking.
@yarpyarp85 I'm glad you've only heard of 2 gives you things to explore and hell yeah I can't wait to see the final product. And yes Joey is my#1 fav. I have both of his shares too
@FearTheDarkWolf exactly right. I’ve been checking so much of Jamie saint merat, the guy is so freaking good! And u mean snares right? Are they pearls or tama
@yarpyarp85 yeah snares lol 😆 both Pearl, the black one with the Slipknot S symbol and the Red with with #1
I always love seeing a drummer's take on Haake.
Love that you're into it, man.
I'll drop a suggestion or two:
Straight Groove- Do Not Look Down
Chunk- I am Colossus
Confusing- Phantoms
Shifting pattern- God He Sees in Mirrors
Trademark Meshuggah raw groove- Stengah
Good stuff, man! 👍
Thanks so much brother, and thanks for all of the recommendations I check almost everything out that I see in the comments and it’s been amazing. I’ll check this out for sure🤘🤘👍👍
Another great vid! New gear looks real nice too! Another recommendation: Matt Kilner. He plays all the instruments in his band Nithing and he freaking hauls ass the whole time. Check out "Nithing - of those immortal, longing for decease playthrough".
Thanks so much my friend, great to see h again! I’ll totally check him out thanks! 🤘🤘
great! ❤
what about Fear Factory - Replica and Tool - Pneuma ? ;-)
Thanks my friend! Definitely gonna do tool soon! 🤘♥️☺️
Awesome
Thank u dude! Every comment helps!!
Have you seen Caleb H's cover of bleed. He's 9. 😅
Yup 🤦♂️ it’s killing me to learn this tune. Like when did he have time even… when I was nine I was like eating boogers and reading hardy boys. 🙃
you should check out Sleep token, the drummer does some realllly nice stuff
I will for sure lots of people have suggested them! Thanks!
Do abysmal eye LIVE Bloodstock next, trust me. I was also there btw
Oh shit that’s awesome, I’ll check it out for sure! Thanks!
@@yarpyarp85 appreciate it
By the authority invested in me from being from the same country as him, I can tell you that the "e" in "Haake" is not silent. "Tomas Haak-eh". I don't really care but you English speaking people seem to be very self conscious about saying names right.
Yo dude good to see you again. Ok I'm gonna start saying it right and I'm gonna quote u Lord! Thanks I had no clue. 🙃🙃
Danny Carey's Pneuma by Tool you will enjoy greatly
Sick ya I’ve seen it so good!
If and when you end up checking sometihng for Kai Hahto, I wopuld recommend either Wintersun or Rotten Sound. Nightwish drum cams aren't really showing his full skill. Unfortunately there is not a lot out there from the time he was in Rotten Sound, but Obey is a good one, if not really the best sound quality. Pretty much all the Wintersun stuff is good quality.
The comments have most of the big names, but I would add Baard Kolstad from Leprous in case you're not familiar with him already. The Sky is Red or Nighttime Disguise would be some of the good picks.
Oh Jesus dude winter sun is amazing I only check out one song so far but it’s frigging intense. I’m gonna check out some more soon! Thanks eh!
Thomas is quoted as saying it took him 6 months to learn to play the drums for "bleed" after he wrote them. If you have it figured out by then, it will be a stamina exercise.
He also says all of their songs are in 4/4, so the entire group is just math nerds, I'm convinced 😆
Ok great so I don’t feel so bad that it’s taking me a while. 😉😉😉
cooolllll❤❤❤❤
You are the coolest 😍😍😍😍😍
The two things I like about your cover progress are the two things absent from most other covers. You're doing the ghost notes, and you're aware the foot pattern changes. It makes me lose interest when I see a bleed cover and it's a single pattern.
You're already winning.
Reaction was awesome.
I love those switch ups on the snare, that part you like.
Top 5 drummers... My list isn't in any order.
Virgil Donati. Senri Kawaguchi. Frost (Satyricon). Jayson Sherlock (Mortification among others), Ted Kirkpatrick (the late, great drummer of Tourniquet).
And I dunno... Thomas Lang, Zyean (Jiluka), Yuki (Versailles)
More than 5... F. Edit: Ah, it's ok, only 5 were strictly metal. Only saw the question after the reaction.
So, Dave Lombardo, Igor Cavalera, Lars (yes Lars. Not even going to respond to any comment on him. It's more than just the drums there.) and the drummer from a band called Believer (Dimensions album in particular, lots of wild ideas and playing time and subdivision)
I'm probably missing plenty... I hate lists.
Did thanks so much and ya I agree, I’m thinking if I’m gonna do it might as well do it right… right? And that’s one hell of a list, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. 😉🤘
I don't know if you would, but how do you compose and 'feel' parts like this? Any insight from a player would be cool if you have it. Especially as you are beginning to learn some of his stuff.
I think I know what u r saying. A lot of what he “Thomas” does sounds so good because he has a really strong internalized quarter note pulse. So when he plays complicated things they always feel accurate. I assume he practice religiously or at least at one time did and when he did he did a lot of work lining things up agents his hi hat foot. Also he has done a substantial amount of ghost note work within that same context. I have a whole system I take my student through to help develop this and I will for sure be doing some lesson videos on it in the future. Stay tuned 🤘🤘🤘🤘☺️
Talked right through the beginning of the breakdown. I’m am upsetten. 😤
Sorry lol, I was chatty that day. 😖
check out nils dominator fjällström - dark funeral awsome drummer lefthanded
Yo just added them to my playlist for commuting. I’ll check him out soon, thanks so much for the recommendation.
Algorithm participation
Thank u!!!!!!
Heyyyy
yoooooooooo brotha!
What's the intro song? I love it, even this tiny bit...
Ah yes dude one of my favourites. Joshua Redman “stream of consciousness” that whole album is absolutely incredible.
@@yarpyarp85 Thx very much, indeed... 😃
@22fret no problem at all!
I'd like to see you react to Bobby Jarzombek....Spastik Ink playthroughs from his instructional DVD. Pretty old now but is still memorizing.
I’ll check him out and add him to the list! Thanks for watch man!!
FOR THE ALGORITHM!!
You’re the man!!!
You should check out some of his old stuff like soul burn from the Destry Erase Improve album. Lots of jazz influences
Oh hell ya will do! Thanks so much for the suggestion. I’ve been listen more lately while I try to finish learning bleed. 🤘🤘
He is my fav drummer , just a notch above me air drumming
Check the last Sepultura albums with the former drummer Eloy Casagrande, and his other solos and workshops!
Oh hell ya that’s on the list! He’s such a beast!
Elliott Hoffman, from the band Car Bomb, would be a player I’d check out, since you enjoy Thomas’ groove.. 👍🏼
Also check out Nostrum playthrough
By origin?
I would suggest checking out Car Bomb. They're a math metal bad known for complex meter and tempo changes.
Check out Mario Duplantier from Gojira. There are just drum tracks for him also for The Art of Dying. He's amazing in live videos of Gift of Guilt live at the Brixton Academy. Pray live at Red Rocks, He is truly one of the best you'll ever see. They don't call him Super Mario for nothing.
The blurrieness looks like some weird fisheye lens distortion.
On my camera right?
Bleed is just Hertas on the feet. This is much more insane.
I agree, bleeds still hard though trust me. It’s kick my ass lol. 🤘🤘
@@yarpyarp85 oh me too bud.
relax about the feet mate theye got nothing to prove to anyone
🤘
Just found your channel - if you haven't already, please check out Paul Seidel's official playthrough of Jurassic | Cretaceous by The Ocean.
Top 5 drummers - Thomas Haake
Paul Seidel
Baard Kolstad
Sean Reinert
Matt Garstka
Brann Dailor as a bonus, because 5 is not enough.
Hihats on the & is the fucking wave tho. I had no pocket until I started riding the left foot with the hi-hats. If you can play meshuggah clean you can probably learn almost anything
Ya that left foot hi hat is a big key I agree!
Haake is a gd demon
Hell ya man. 1 in a billion.
Amazing
Now!!
VIRGIL DONATI
Oh ya definitely will eventually 🤘🤘 he’s a beast
Pleeeeease try and pause when you're talking. You seem to get so caught up in what you're saying and looking away from the video you're meant to be watching
Haha sorry man I legit have like some crazy add, this is just who I am. Trying to be authentic but I’ll do better. Thanks for watching 🥁🥁🤘🤘

What’s the point of watchin the video if you’re gonna just talk over the whole thing
What’s the point of watching someone react to a video if u don’t want them to talk??
@@yarpyarp85 you listen, then react, then listen, then react. Not just talk over it constantly while it’s playing missing out on key moments. You spoke over 70% of the song a lot of times with irrelevant nonsense. The space bar is your friend . Just felt disrespectful to the performance dude
Ok I get what you’re saying and I was in a talkative mood this day and having a really good time, but I have only one question and it might be an obvious one….. you know you don’t have to watch right?? Why would u waste your time watching something u don’t like and then waste your time commenting on it annnnnd then waste your time coming back to comment again. Also I assume you’ll come back and comment again, just move on…. RUclips’s a big platform with lots of content.
Buuut still thanks for the constructive criticism, I’ll take it to heart but with a gain of salt because I want to remain true to myself. 😉😉♥️
the flip?! So much talking about other things while haake is doing magic instead of focusing on it :S
🤷♂️🤷♂️🍆🍆
I said the same, so many little transitions were missed
