you never know what that phone call could entail to. Tomas might talk to that person about other opportunities involving music and what not. Why else would he want to take the time out of his schedule to call that person if there wasn't something else involved?

never know until you try......and win for that matter

No doubt...if any of us can do this song, we deserve to be endorsed by Sabian too. Sounds like some entertainment for the band.

The contest better last until 2010. That is how long it will take people to play triplets that fast.

Just learn a constant triplet with your feet and don't get out of order, guys!

Come on, if a Swedish robot-god can do it, anyone can.

Really though, if anyone can replicate this to a key, I will give them a dollar. Kudos!

The kick on this track is ridiculous. . . i'll give it a shot, but won't promise anything. Tomas is practically untouchable.

what they didn't tell you is that the drums used on Bleed are actually the digital "Drumset From Hell", the same thing they used for their track War.

Actually, though they replaced his recorded drum sounds with DFH, it's actually him playing it, not programmed drums as someone before insinuated.

Stop acting like you know your shit. Don't believe me? The interview is here:

it's funny that there are so many drumming geeks out there that this song has already been attempted and perfected by people all over the world, a lot of which happened before the album even came out. i can play a few meshuggah songs, but my ankles would probably break trying to play this song. I'd rather just listen, and enjoy it for what it is. good luck

that offer is verrrry tempting, but replicating sumone as talented in mathematic metal as Thomas Haake.....just forget it.lol.
It's a done deal already.
I could probably do it if I practiced it for MONTHS, but not in that time frame.lol.

Godspeed to all of those who do try though!

ha,ha. in the Latest MODERN DRUMMER (tomas is on the cover), he says it took HIM 6 months to learn. he explains that the verse repeats until the chorus then mutates throughout the rest of the song. 32nd notes with 16th notes in between.
maybe the JOB FOR A COWBOY drummer can do it.
