One of my favorite rhythmic tricks I've taken from Meshuggah is to a use a section with 2 bars of 7/4 followed by one of 2/4, which equals 16 beats. You then superimpose a 4/4 groove with the snare on 3 on top of that and the whole thing resolves every 4 bars, so you can headbang the entire time. \m/

My fave Meshuggah song wrt the drums is Spasm, never found a video of Haake playing it live unfortunately but Troy Wright's cover is handy, plus he did a transcription so I can try and (slowly) learn it. I find adding millions of ghosts notes into an already complicated pattern fairly hard, then Haake keeps the 8th note hi hat pulse going whenever he doesn't have to use double bass pedals so it's not easy stuff to play and the latest stuff like Bleed and so on gets even harder.

I'm not a drummer nor do I have any music theory knowledge but I have immense appreciation for drumming. When I was a kid/teenager I noticed how drums could change the feel of a song and effectively fuck it up. Lars Ulrich, as most "metal" or "hard rock" persons could probably attest to, was the first person I noticed doing, albeit perhaps not so great. But the take-away being I could identify with bringing the feel down to a rhythmic level and putting stronger emphasis on certain parts and letting others breathe more to change the feel. I don't know what I'm saying anymore, but I think you probably get it?haha

In my experience, jazz drummers make THE BEST death metal drummers. I was in a lot of lack-luster metal bands that didn't go anywhere until in one of them, we got a jazz drummer who pushed our music to the next level. A good jazz drummer will force the guitarists to grow in their rhythmic abilities. Working with jazz drummers improved my abilities on rhythm guitar and bass guitar dramatically.

I started listening to Meshuggah back in 1999 and I never really understood how it all really worked until after the Nothing album. When I learned that yes it's 4/4 but it's a revolving door that comes back around and resolves itself to make that 4/4. That's what blew my mind. Stengah is a perfect example. You can hear when it resolves itself and starts over. I fucking love Meshuggah. The only band I feel smarter after listening to.

I've been a musician and a metalhead my whole life and first heard Meshuggah about 16-17 years ago. I recognize that they are amazing musicians, especially Tomas, but I've never been able to get into them. I've tried so many times, but their music is just terribly boring and repetitive. They suffer from the same thing that Tool's new album does: very few hooks/catchy riffs, and no vocal lines that stand out. I'm always asking myself, "ok, when is something different going to happen?" Just 'cause a song is difficult to play doesn't mean it sounds good. If i'm looking for something with this sort of really heavy and mechanized sound, I'll take SYL or Gojira any day.

The first time I heard an album, my friends an i bought it together. We heard about them and wanted to try them out. I remember we sat through all of a cassette of Destroy Erase Improve. And after we were like all in shock. None of us could really say we liked it. One thing we all said and agreed on was how intensely, insanely difficult their music really was. We all eventually grew to like their music over time, just out of the pure respect of how they do what they do. My exact words back then were, "I don't know if I like it, but they are the best at it!"

Having watched a bunch of interviews with Thomas and Mårten from meshuggah, they don’t even think about time signatures at all when they write songs, they come up with “Grooves” and mess around with the feel of them. Which Grooves is about the best way to describe their music, grooves that move around a 4/4 back beat 🤘

It's awesome to hear your praise to these musicians, as a metalhead who is getting really turned into jazz, it's awesome to see these guys recognised across genres and other musicians. You should check out something with Matt Garstka behind the drums, mainly Animals as Leaders. He is ridiculous in the best possible way, he is incredible. You'll enjoy watching him play.

If you just discovered Meshuggah - then you missed a lot! They have been doing it since 1993, and every album is a new masterpiece. Every time they are pushing the limits of what can be played. My favorite would be Catch 33, and if you ever get to it the best songs would be "In death is life/in death is death" and "sum". I heard them live couple of years ago and they are live even better than on a recording. Just perfect. Everything played to a click.

Fun story: I saw them about 2005 or 2006 in Switzerland. Between each song, the musicians took break as usual a few seconds but not Thomas. For 1 hour, he played none stop changing the rhythms and beats to the coming song while the others were waiting for him to be there. We all had our brains freezed! Incredible! On another level, check drummers like Dereck Roddy or Hannes Grossmann ;)
