- Phantoms is my favorite track from Meshuggah´s new record "Immutable".
The Polyrhythms are crazy in this - actually the code I wrote down for the first part of the song (until 2:20) reads like this:
434, 333, 433, 443, 433, 343, 344, 343, 334, 334, 434, 333, 333, 433, 343, 344, 343, 334, 334
-- The numbers are groups of 16th notes that are played against a 4/4 Half Time Groove --
Still this track has a very nice flow! And the instrumental ending always gives me the chills - it's perfect.
Cheers and ask questions if you have some!
I want to thank Martin Schnella for doing such a great job with the mix again.

In this recording I use:
Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch
Tama Starphonic Copper Snare
Meinl Byzance and Classics Custom Cymbals
Meinl Standard 5B Sticks
Aquarian Resonator Heads on Toms and a Hi-Energy Head on the Snare

This is a Drum Cover of the song "Phantoms"' from the Album "Immutable" (released 2022) by Meshuggah and is the copyrighted property of its owner(s).
Literally their hardest and most unpredictable, random drum line I’ve heard out of their discography and you nailed it. What an incredible performance, man.
Thanks man! Yeah, I decided to learn this track before I even had an idea of how hard this actually is.. it took me quiet some time to get down all the parts. But it’s a blast to play this stuff 🤟🏻
yogev gabay explains the pattern. it's very long but there is one
@@boarderking133 yeah, every song by Meshuggah has a pattern of course. Here it’s really the length that makes it so hard to get down.. one repeat takes around 30 seconds
Tomas Haake has said in an interview that this one will almost definitely never be played live
@Bittersweet Duality I genuinely didn't realise there were songs they weren't able to absolutely nail live. This one doesn't sound particularly more difficult than usual to me, but I'm definitely not a drummer
Drum wise, this is the Clockworks of Immutable. Great job.
Thanks a lot!! 🤟🏻
Nah, clockworks is next level, can't compare
@AppallingScholar ruclips.net/video/tLfIL05BWrc/видео.htmlsi=A86id88js8Lia7B2
I would argue that The Abysmal Eye is the "Clockworks" of Immutable... I've listened to many live recordings from their performance of that particular track and Haake struggles a lot with the basedrum pattern on that one.
@TemalCageman yeah, I found it difficult seeing him struggle with that live, but he is still a GD beast in everything I've seen him do.
2:56 the sickest breakdown ever!
Indeed! 🤟🏻
From the snare flam fills to every limb of your body doing something different, this is a masterpiece cover
Thanks Noah, I´m glad that you like the cover!!
Every time I get used to headbanging to Meshuggah, they come up with a new way to fuck with me. That breakdown at 2:55 is absolutely ridiculous, and you still nailed it! Major respect.
Yes! That breakdown is serious stuff :)
Thanks a lot!!
How supercool this is. The ghostnotes, hh tapping, sound, relaxed precise performance. You totally nailed it and I love it. Fantastic. Sound awesome too. And that's a fingerlicking set of cymbals.
Hope to see more!
Hey there, thanks a lot! I'm glad that you like the video - more coming soon! :)
I´m also a big fan of the Meinl Cymbals - especially the Byzance Dual Series is just beautiful.
Cheers!
Holy fuck, the fact that you can play this song damn well is one thing, then switching dominant hands took it to another level. Absolutely stunning performance 🤘😤🤘
Thanks a lot man! And cool, that you recognized the open playing! Cheers!!
This was so smooth, my mind slipped off this plane of existence.
Thanks a lot!! 🤟🏻
way gone
That is some high-end looking kit! Those drum heads alone look more expensive than the average drumkit.
Thanks! This kit still absolutely impresses me with it's sound and look - A Tama Starclassic Birch/Walnut. The heads in this video are Aquarian Reflector heads - nice sounding heads with a lot durability! Cheers!
If Tomas Haake saw this video he would tell you that he is proud of you.
Excellent interpretation and I believe and in my personal opinion that this is the most technically difficult song that the band Meshuggah has done in their entire musical career and you were able to interpret it, congratulations.
I hope later to go to a show where you are, greetings from Portugal.
Hey there, thanks for your kind words!! I'm glad that you like my cover so much :)
Greetings from Germany!!
What a performance! Simon, I love how you're able to stay so calm while playing something so technical! 🙌
Thanks a lot!! Yeah, I really had to concentrate hard to get this track down :)
the good thing about it is that it doesn't *sound* like you had to concentrate really hard.. all those ghost notes, they're so fluent and flowing, the whole thing just unfurls beautifully
@icespittingfire that’s nice to hear! Thanks 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This groove is hypnotic and elusive... killer job on it.
Thanks a lot!! 🤟🏻
Insane!! it is just insane!! and you've nailed it all, good job my friend!
What kills me is how to come up with something this mad, Haake is really nuts!
Holy Smokes someone covered this
🤟🏻🤟🏻
You absolutely murdered this dude. This is one of those songs I always thought was unlearnable considering Tomas refuses to play it live but thank god I underestimate our fanbase.
Thanks a lot!! Yeah.. this definitely was a tough challenge.. technically "Clockworks" was harder to play, but "phantoms" was harder to learn in my opinion. Cheers!
What the hell, this is so clean it almost feels sequenced, terrific job !
Thanks a lot!! 🤘🏻
very brave just to try this, but you did it perfect, my applause. and i have to say - beautiful set of meinl beauties)
Thanks a lot! Didn't know if I could do this - but I definitely wanted to try since it's my favorite track of the album. I'm glad that you like it!
And yeah, I love those cymbals :)
Dude you are one of the best drummers I’ve ever witnessed and I’ve watched two of your videos. Wow, incredible. You have a gift
Wow, that's nice to hear! Thanks a lot :)
Simon - the timing, ghost notes and off beats on this track are straight jacket material. Magnificent, remarkable, precision work around what is a glorious looking and sounding kit. The camera set-ups are superb; giving us a fantastic overview of your footwork and left/right hand combos. Your Meinl cymbals are glorious. Don't stop. Don't feel bad, but thanks to you I am giving up drums and taking up the recorder.
Hey Peter, Thanks a lot! I‘m glad that you like my videos so much! But please don’t stop playing the drums because of my videos - sometimes I also want to quit when I see some other drummers 😅 but in the end I take it as a challenge and try to grow and get better. That‘s the whole cycle of motivation really :)
Cheers and thanks for watching!!
i see a meshuggah cover with ghost notes, i thumbs up
Thanks a lot!!
Super clean, love your style
Thanks a lot! I'm glad that you like it :)
This is catastrophically impressive. You have genuine skill, this is so good. It is really one of Tomas' hardest songs ever
Amazing job!!!
Thanks a lot man!! This is one of the hardest covers I ever did for sure!
Cheers!
Great job dude, is not easy flow with that tempo all The polyrythms.
Respect💥
Thanks! Yeah, that one was pretty hard!
Appreciating the side-to-side sonic effect when you do fills down the toms. In fact, excellent sound in general. And you're a killer player.
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a lot! I‘m glad that you like the video and the sound so much! 🤟🏻
My dude even it being just covers of amazing songs ive been nonstop watching and rewinding again ypu play, just made you my favorite modern drummer. the tone is perfection, the playing is hypnotizing. wish you the best
Thanks man! I´m glad that you like my playing so much. I will record more videos in September/October. Cheers!! 🤟🏻
Also my favorite song from album. Great job man!
Thanks man! Glad you like it!
Dude amazing, awesome job. Way to go with the left hand lead parts!!
Thanks a lot!!
Damn son! Thomas said it's to chalanging to play live, and now i see that. What a hell to play
Haha yeah, it was very challenging indeed - I can understand why they don't want to play it live. The first part until 2:30 is just crazy - but it was a blast to play to this awesome track. Cheers!
Thank you for not making the artificial camera sways too aggressive. Your The Abysmal Eye cover was so severe in the sway I can't watch without throwing up. I do still hope the sways would reduce much more.
That aside, absolute fukim phenomenal cover. You somehow managed to count the song correctly and you even did the ghost notes! That's just next level. I hope to see more Meshuggah covers in the future.
Hey there, thanks for the nice feedback! I‘m glad that you like the cover - for sure it was a challenge to count out this song. Especially the first 3 minutes are crazy.
I‘m pretty sure there will be more Meshuggah covers in the future. It’s always a fun challenge and very inspiring to learn Tomas’ parts.
Cheers!
I agree about the camera swaying amazing cover but the swaying is not needed at all really it actually sort of takes away watching the performance for me which is a shame because it's great.
The ending sounds so cool especially with the pedal hi hat and the cymbal work
Yeah, the whole Outro is pretty epic :) Very inspiring track for shure!
Not only did you nail it, you put your own spin on it and made it even tastier
Thanks a lot! I´m glad that you like my version so much 🤘🏻
Holy fucking shit this is insane. Good fucking job man. This is some seriously insane talent
Thanks a lot man!! 🤟🏻
This song has the most satisfying fills ever. You killed it here man!
Thanks a lot man!
Very fine job sir. Such a fucking hard song to play. I wouldn't even come close.
Thanks a lot! This one was hard for sure!
You did amazing man. The only cover out there for this song. Nailed it
Thanks man!! 🤟🏻
Awesome work. So much of this song genuinely feels like the left and right side of your body are doing totally different things.
I know what you mean.. but it felt suprisingly natural to play. Remembering all the polyrhythms was extremely hard for sure.
Great cover, super difficult and you nailed it!
Thanks a lot!!
Incredible playing my man!!
Thanks a lot!!
So happy to see someone keeping time with the hi hat! Love this song. Great job
Thanks man!! Yeah, it‘s still my favorite Song from Immutable. Cheers!
FATALITY!🩸Goddamned Gorgeous Kit you got there.🤘🏽
Thanks a lot!! Yeah, that Starclassic is beautiful - just had it on tour the last month.. very easy to handle, great sound and just gorgeous looking :)
Fantastisch!
Danke dir!!
incredible work. those fills are so emotional.
Thanks a lot! 🤟🏻
Smashed it mate, so clean!
Thanks a lot man!!
This was a remarkable performance, almost lost for words. Probably their most difficult song, one of them at least. And that floor tom is amazing. Keep the the no less than fantastic work!
Hey, thanks a lot! I‘m glad that you like it! 🤟🏻
Holy hell your drum kit is gorgeous!
Yeah! It's a lovely Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch - Great sound and look :)
Cheers!!
@@SimonSchroederDrums cheers homie
Oh my god. I m so happy to see you play this killer song. Love you. 🤘🤘🤘 Meshuggah always. 👌
Hey there, thank you! Yes man, Meshuggah forever :D
Cant stop watching you... 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
@@eerie08ify Wow! Thanks a lot!! 🤟🏻
tight, tight, tight, yeah!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I mean, my word. Simon, this is outstanding work. A helluva track to cover and I've enjoyed the lot of these. #banger
Thanks a lot man! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
You sir, are amazing
Thanks a lot!! Cheers :)
I have played drums for years and seen Meshuggah live. I would love to just grasp the concept of this song. I hear it but it hurts my brain
The 3:00 minute mark is where I want to... Take a baby and.. explain to that baby, Meshuggah
That was amazing man and your drums sounds so good!
Thanks a lot!!
That's not an easy track! Well done! Nice chops, nice kit good sound.
Thanks a lot man!!
Absolut höchster Respekt bro, super clean und flawless und der Track is echt nich so easy going wie man denkt 🤌🏼🙌 mit eins von den besten Meshuggah Covers die im Internet kursieren.. mega underrated… hätte viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient 🫶🏻 Bin absolut begeistert… Instant sub 💙
Hey Nicolas, freut mich, dass es dir gefällt!! Liebe Grüße und danke fürs abonnieren 🖤🤟🏻
@@SimonSchroederDrums Ebenfalls Danke und Liebe Grüße 🤟🏻🫶🏻😇
Mad props, dude! Absolutely incredible performance.
I searched for drum covers after watching Yogev's breakdown to see the insanity at play.
Truly, truly commendable cover.
Hey there, thanks a lot!! Yeah, Yogev‘s video is great. I realized how hard this Song actually is when I started analyzing it and really didn’t have a clue what was going on for hours. Even after listening to Meshuggah since 2007, the difficulty of Phantoms was something else. But the Track still just kicks ass in such a straight forward way 🤟🏻
@@SimonSchroederDrums For the first half, even though the back beat is there, it still feels absolutely foreign in the context of the song and riff. Each time I try to wrap my head around it and count, Tomas adds some tricky accent, fill or ghost note here and there, which immediately throws me off guard.
I'm not a drummer myself, but I can definitely appreciate and acknowledge the immense amount of work you've put in your drumming. The limb change in the second half is something to behold. Absolutely impressive.
Cheers!
You can stop playing drums, you have literally ascended in the skillset of Haake. Very precise and accurate, kit sounds amazing and all the small sounds Haake plays, you play with 100% accuracy. The randomness of rhythm in this song is unpredictable and you foresaw all the minute details like you were staring down on a Palantir!
Hey there, thanks man!! I´m glad that you like it so much!
Cheers :)
This is something else. You are insane on the stool, dude.
Thanks! I‘m glad you like it 🤟🏻
Thanks! I‘m glad you like it 🤟🏻
The codes you wrote down insanely helped me realise a way into figuring out their songs. Imma guitar cover this song and sure will mention you if ya don't mind!
Great work, pal!
Hey, that’s very cool! I‘m glad that I could help you with the code. Of course you can mention me in your cover! Looking forward to your cover dude :)
How's my man gonna have 1.5k subscribers putting out stuff like this?? Subscribed. Let's go fucking exponential brother you deserve it
Haha that's very cool! Thanks man - and yeah, I will keep on working on this channel. Actually the numbers just got up from 500 subscribers in December to 1.5k - so that's a big improvement which I'm very happy for :)
Cheers!
Damn, why does this sound so good with drums turned up louder
That was Excellent! Effing killed it brother!
Thanks a lot man!!
I love the way you use your fulcrum point to such a sticking advantage, plus your independent limb control is awesome! Awesome skill. I say skill, because this is beyond talent; this is honed and developed, clearly. And gear nerding here... I love your kit! Keep up the awesome work. Love your vids 🤘
Hey there, thanks for all your nice comments!! 🤟🏻 I developed my independence with "The New Breed 1 and 2" by Gary Chester - this really helped a lot.
For my technique I practiced a lot of stuff from Jim Chapin and Claus Hessler - a lot of Moeller actually :)
Cheers! :)
this is crazyyy
🤟🏻
Top shelf playing man…
Thanks a lot!
Wow! That was great, so clean.
Thanks man!!
That was incredible dude.
Thanks!!
what the fuCK MAN WHAT IS THAT PRECISION ON THE SNARES THIS IS GODLIKE
Thanks a lot! Glad that you like it!!
perfect man, instant sub
Thanks a lot man! You’re welcome 🤟🏻
Man, those toms sound nice
Thanks! I also love the Starclassic walnut birch set. The whole kit is so easy to handle and very versatile :)
Absolutely killer
Thanks!! 🤟🏻
The most impressive part is thinking about how Tomas Haake plays all of this, making it look easy while looking just really cool doing it.
Just the attempt takes nuts. Nice job guy
Thanks man! 🤟🏻
Badass. I think I get the gist of how to play this now: Match the riff with the ghost notes while maintaining accents for the 4/4 halftime. Easier said than done, but awesome cover.
Yeah, that’s basically how it works. Thanks a lot man!! 🤟🏻
Killerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Thanks! 🤟🏻
Incredible.
Thanks a lot!!
Dude what can I say, this is fucking crazy, wtf man you're amazing! Great performance, crazy how you just changed to playing left handed for the beginning of the last riff, you're a madman😂
Thanks man! I´m glad that you like it! 🤟🏻
You smashed the shit out of this bro! And your kit sounds incredible ❤❤❤
bravo man. i'm not brave enough to even try counting it
Thanks! This took a lot of time.. I guess counting it right was the part that took most of the time for this cover :)
Damn bro 🔥🤘🏼!!
🤟🏻🤟🏻🔥
Gorgeous!!!
Thanks!! 🤟🏻
It took me several hours of practice and repetition just to be able to play the main riff pattern, on the bass with a pick. Due to how seemingly random it feels. Can’t imagine how difficult this is on drums. Respect
Thanks man! It was pretty hard to learn for sure.. This might be the hardest song I ever covered on this channel. Cheers 🤟🏻
Absolutely epic work Simon, well done mate!
Thanks a lot man
Very nice🎉
Thank you very much!!
du schon wieder.
super ding junge. grüße ausm osten
Besten Dank!! Liebe Grüße aus Hannover!
Brilliant performance!
Thanks a lot!!
Holy f'n groove
Thanks man! It’s all about the groove when it comes to Meshuggah 🤟🏻🤟🏻
unreal
Very impressive, great job!
Thanks a lot! 🤟🏻
Dude this is insane! Nailed it!
Thanks man!! 🤟🏻
I Like Support Drum Covers !
This is a Nice Job ! 🥢🎵
Thanks!!
Incredible!!
Thanks!!
Daaaaamn bro this is so clean!! Great job
Thanks a lot man :)
Dude, you’re playing on a master level and yet you look so young. Keep at this and in 15 years you’ll be a god, as if you’re not already there. You nailed the time signature. The only other person I know that could do this is Thomas haake himself, and Travis orbin maybe. Lol
Haha thanks - I‘m just a bit older than I look though :D Glad you like the video - I always try to push myself!! 💪🏻
Holy shit you are an incredible drummer
Thanks a lot man 🖤
Nice kit bro ❤
Thanks! Yeah, that kit is stunning!
Even once you figure out the pattern for this song it's still super difficult to play properly on a kit - very good cover.
Thanks a lot!! 🤟🏻
Amazing! 🤘
Thanks Cameron! This song is just killer :D
Impresive. Nice job.
Thanks!
sickkk
Thanks!! 🤟🏻
this is crazy good
Thanks!! 🤟🏻
Geil! Meshuggah sind so heavy
Definitiv! Danke dir 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Amazing performance
Thanks a lot!!
