Meshuggah - "Bleed" Drum Cover

This is my drum cover of "Bleed" from Meshuggah&2008 album, obZen, released in early March of that year. Like most people, after hearing this track for the first time, my head was spinning and my jaw was on the floor. I was truly impressed with the unorthodox nature of the song (not to mention Tomas Haake&endurance as a drummer). Bleed is an excellent representation of what Meshuggah does incredibly well; expanding and developing simple ideas/concepts in a creative manner. When I first decided to get serious about covering this song, I initially thought that the learning and practicing processes would be similar to what I went through when preparing for my cover of "The Demon&Name is Surveillance." Sure enough, I was wrong to assume this. Bleed requires a completely different mental approach. It&far more rhythmically challenging than Demon&Name, but significantly less mind-numbing to execute once all of its patterns are mastered. I do realize that I&a little late to the "Bleed drum cover" party, but I have a lot of respect for this song and wanted to share my effort in attempting to play it. I did not use any triggers or sample-replacement. Also, my Meinl 14" &X&Thomas Lang Filter China cracked about halfway through recording this, hence its shorter sustain towards the end of the song. At any rate, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy! Of course, I extend well-deserved thank you&to my brother and cousin, Paul McKinley and Mike Pappas. Also, thank you to my good friend...
