The Drumeo YouTube channel has shared a new showcase video, this time focusing on Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake. They discuss his unconventional drum grooves, polymetric madness, shifting backbeat, and more.

Drumeo: "Meshuggah’s drummer was only 19 when he joined the award-winning band. Tomas Haake is now known as one of the most influential drummers in heavy music and for good reason. His drumming incorporates syncopated rhythms and ghost notes, adding complexity and flavor to Meshuggah's music. Tomas often creates unusual drum grooves that don't follow typical conventions, and he experiments with programming drums in the computer world.

From his double-kick skills and technical prowess to originating one of the most iconic metal drum parts of all time, let’s talk about why Tomas Haake has become such a legend in the drumming world."

Back in March, Meshuggah released one of the most anticipated tracks off their remastered 15th anniversary album, ObZen, and kick off their Nordics tour in Lund, Sweden.
