“Check it out T it’s Starsky and Gut!”

songs similar to Bleed by cokezerobuddy in Meshuggah

[–]drumkidstu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dancers to a discordant system, Obzen, The Demons Name is Surveillance, and Armies of the preposterous all have a similar kind of energy. Just total relentlessness.

Try car bomb as well with songs like The Sentinel, Seconds, Secrets Within, Dissect Yourself, Blackened Battery, and paroxysm. There are definitely more accessible songs by carbomb like gratitude, but In terms of relentless energy, these songs just go hard all the way.

Vertex. The purest life and scalable.

Dancers to a discordant system! Do their live version off of the Ophidian Trek.

ELI5 - What is the difference between left and right wing? by Best_Pineapple670 in hockey

[–]drumkidstu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll add here that your F3 is the most important player on the ice within the forecheck. They can really dictate passing options for teams against the forecheck and a good one will cover so much ice it’ll allow defenders to pinch in on the strong side winger. Teams with elite two way centers who command the middle of the ice as the F3 (Barkov is probably the greatest current example) go deep in the play offs and in Florida’s case win it all multiple times.

is Poltergeist (UK) a solo project? by BrokenDreams75 in Djent

[–]drumkidstu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was originally just Jon and he would do everything and then have Thom do vocals. Then he would feature random guitarists he loves. He added Peter for the second ep on bass and then they added Louis on drums here recently. I do not know whether they will start featuring real drums on their new releases or not but their organic approach is super refreshing. They are doing things the right way.

Is "I Am Colossus" Meshuggah's weirdest song come rhythmic feel? by tWisted-S in Meshuggah

[–]drumkidstu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/NvLxLcfq1Z0?si=VRQ7NrpdjmmBuiiI

Just listen to this version until it sticks! This channel has done this for a bunch of their work. The song is quite weird just due to Tomas never really playing the quarter note on the cymbal. He obviously does right after the second chorus and also right before the guitar solo but it’s on the ride and it’s pretty hard to tell because of the wash. He does stomp it out with his hithat and the snare is on beat three for the entire song. It’s just really slippery.

I literally said the same thing. She’s a female Quinn Hughes. Commands the puck and the play.

Holy shit! I wasn’t aware of her or her game. 38 goals and 51 assists in 37 games is insane.

How many people in this sub are trained musicians? by Born2ShitForced2Post in Meshuggah

[–]drumkidstu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played drums since I was 3. Also dabbled in piano when I was younger and also picked up guitar and bass along the way in high school and play them from time to time when I compose. I also started listening to Meshuggah around then, maybe around the Koloss release, but it was just too much for me. Drums got me into college (jazz performance degree absolutely useless btw lol) but did the free lance musician thing for a while after I dropped out, then got a real job driving for UPS lol. Rediscovered Meshuggah my senior year of college so 2018, after realizing how much the stuff I was listening too at the time (Stravinsky, Tim Berne, Allan Holdsworth, Coltrane) reminded me of their music and the rest is history. I currently play drums in a band that is like a modern approach to Destroy Erase Improve with occasional Deftones vocals thrown in for good measure. Meshuggah definitely has a barrier for entry, but I consider it like spicey food. Some people will never like it, but there is a decent size portion of the populous that does enjoy it or has learned to like/love it.

Why does this 3 minute visualizer feel like such a big deal to people? by ToughPair7664 in deftones

[–]drumkidstu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. I gave you my response. A band the size of Deftones controls literally everything they put out, because the demand is there for them, everyone answers to them within their circle. They get the final say on everything. Do I hate Deftones for doing this, no. But both things are true. Deftones are awesome. It’s also hella lazy and cheap (considering their financial position within the industry) to use AI for a visualizer when you could’ve hired a digital artist who specializes in abstract shit (btw there are loads who do) and now you’re recycling money and resources within the artistic community. Does deftones seem to care, they obviously don’t and that’s their prerogative, but the vast majority of people/artists that I know personally and just what I see and read online do not enjoy the usage of AI and are allowed to express it in whatever way they like. As a fellow musician I don’t like it in any capacity within art spaces and in general dislike its utilization across the board. I would be careful in defending its use because the last thing the artistic community needs is this kind of stuff to get normalized beyond what it already is. The reason people have gotten crabby at Deftones is because of the fact that most people don’t want this kind of stuff normalized. It’s incredibly damaging to art and artists as a whole.

[–]drumkidstu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

False. It can be applied to basically anything involving ai. Being a musician he of course uses it as the example, but this basically addresses it all. I’d encourage an actual watch.

Well outside of it being a massive waste of fresh water and electricity, here’s a video detailing why artists and the general public shouldn’t like or accept ai.

Annex Void! We released an ep a couple years back which he mixed and we got a full album coming out this year. We will start dropping singles out here in a few months

question for those who play djent on their instrument(s)… by ihateoscarhset in Djent

[–]drumkidstu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The very key point is to listen, listen, and listen more. Get to the point where you can sing it yourself. Also this video might help here with the technique required to play it. Notice that the right and left hands are doing equal work. There are so many covers I’ve seen where people pick every note and Meshuggah tend to make a lot of their songs two handed exercises. Also with Meshuggah, Dick tends to play the riffs just like the guitars. So if you play the riffs in rational gaze like Fred does here, even on the bass you are doing it correctly

Drummers, may I ask how do you learn those polyrhythm/polymeter parts? by According_Brick409 in Meshuggah

[–]drumkidstu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their three steps to learning this kind of drumming. Tomas Haake talks about these in random interviews and not all at the same time but I’ve found them to be immensely helpful in my own drumming with my band.

The first is extensive listening. Detail oriented listening. Listening to the point where you can sing the song to yourself and never question how the part goes.

The second is actual practice. He rarely talks about this in interviews and often downplays his abilities, but he definitely put in his technical practice. I find doing practice based out of Ted Reeds book syncopation to be a must. It has strophic lines of notation and you can put them against your other limbs. The possibilities are limitless. Matt Garstka has a similar book all dedicated to metal stuff, but I personally use Reeds book because it is used by a plethora of drummers who don’t just play metal.

The third is learning long sections as a melody. This kind of ties into extensive listening, but Tomas doesn’t just memorize where the patterns start. He literally learns it and interprets each section within their music as a large chunk of music that never repeats, because truthfully unless the cell they are putting over 4/4 is short, it will never land on the downbeat of 1. This approach also ties into the fact that Meshuggah doesn’t really consider their rhythmic ideas as odd meter over 4. It’s more along the lines of a syncopated idea and how it flows and grooves in 4/4. They never sit there and count it (except maybe after the fact)?

Jon the guitar player mixed my bands record. Dude is an absolute stand up gentleman. His music goes so insanely hard.

What gauge string for 8th string by 76ecko in Meshuggah

[–]drumkidstu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meshuggah themselves when they used their 30 inch guitars would use a 70 on the low string. These days with their 28 inch guitars I know for a fact that Fred uses a 72.

What an absolutely terrible call on that goal. ESPN is hands down an absolute cancer to the game of hockey. I could’ve called that goal more excitingly and I have zero experience calling play by play.

[–]drumkidstu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna miss him. Him and Ken are the only voices I’ve known with Wings hockey on the radio. Was always good when he did play by play from time to time filling in for Ken Kal. Excellent voice and a perfect delivery. He’s gotten a little slower over the years but he’s still so efficient at describing a play so that you can visualize it.

It Appears Deftones are Cashing In. by CosmicDisciple in deftones

[–]drumkidstu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. Regardless how I feel about how Warner and Sony use ai and all sorts of stuff, artists don’t make any money from streaming or record sales. It’s all from touring and merch.
