I really love this band so I just had to cover this song. I have also included a drum lesson at the end of this video at about 7:00 minutes that features a beat breakdown of the two main double kick patterns along with exercises that helped me play this song. I wanted to keep the sound of my drums as raw and ‘true’ as i could. I didn’t want to trigger anything or sound replace the parts. Thanks for watching and enjoying Meshuggah and Tomas Haake as much as I do!

@wrightdrums i noticed that in a drumcam vid of tomas, its very neat how the left foot keeps straight singles. tomas makes it very obvious in his footwork, well done to you!

@wrightdrums – By the way, I just looked at what equipment you’re using, and strongly recommend you check out Charles Fisher’s ‘Off-Set’ double bass pedal. (found here: 1) [web.mac][.com]/kleidy1/Off-Set/Double_Bass_Drum_Pedal.html
2) [theparadiddler][.com]/2010/09/01/interview-with-charles-fisher-off-set-bass-drum-pedal-company/
3) /watch?v=rFs510cQ_3Y
4) /watch?v=PU_U2PQhoMs

(If you like it ask about the “rigid (direct) drive” mod he just made. Maybe tell him Ben W. sent you?)

@wrightdrums – I understand what the feet are doing; I’ve worked out a physics-like formula for a more exact approach to relative stick/beater heights, and have been hypothesizing about a drum set application to ‘finger sequencing’ (a concept used on piano for playing scales), which tells me pretty much exactly what each finger/hand/foot should be doing. My percussion instructor (a band director and active musician) verified the equation, but I have yet to show him sequencing.

@ChronoGXay The left foot is playing an entirely different pattern to the right foot. Let me explain. The right foot is playing a shuffle phrase or a repeated group of 2 (reason for all the movement). The left foot on its own is playing almost straight singles to make up the 4 note opening phrase in the song (reason for less movement or “rigid” in your words)

Maybe it’s just me or the camera angle on your feet (or both), but it seems to me like your left foot/leg is a little bit rigid…

You should do a Pendulum medley as joke (because so many of the beats are basically the same). I’m not dissing Pendulum (I think a lot of their music is fucking great).
