Meshuggah - Bleed (Drums only with scrolling transcription)

You hear 4/4? I see hertas. Created with MuseScore, OBS, GarageBand, Audacity and iMovie.
This was a BEAST! :O

After months of practice finally can play the entire I got to buy the bass drum for my kit, playing it on snare and cymbals has become a little boring...

[mattdubya]

the kick drum sounds just like popcorn when i microwave it for 7 minutes 26 seconds 💥

If every Meshuggah song was transcribed like this they would be way easier to learn. Thank you for your service for mankind.

4:14 At least I can play 1 bar from it

I accidentally started this video at 2X speed.
The entire piece sounded awesome and I thought, "no human could play this."
So I set the video to its original speed, and still, I thought, "no human could play this."

The only thing crazier than this is their live performance 💪

To those saying, 'but Meshuggah plays in 4/4!', you are technically correct, but come off as smug and disrespectful of the time and effort which was put into this arrangement. Music theory is about perspective--the magic of "groove" (jazz/blues/funk/metal), "swing" (jazz), "flow" (rap/spoken word)--or otherwise "feel" of the music, makes the music feel like a breathing organism rather than a painting on a wall. Haze Anderson has created an 'interpretation' of Thomas Haake's playing in 4/4 timing. This is why the time signatures continue to change throughout the arrangement.

EDIT: Just like computer programming, there are many ways to code the same end result. There is not a singular solution, but many.

I play drums, I learned music theory, I listen to meahuggah. I comprehend what I'm hearing, yet my brain still hurts. I love it

[mybiggrin]

So much easier for me to understand it this way.

[Covesthur]

I prefer seeing it like this compared to the normal 4/4 notation. Gives me actually better overview. I can more easily understand this for some reason. The 4/4 notated versions just make me see a relentless wall of hertas, uniform and confusing.

[jimpennington]

WTF did I just see? Absolutely amazing. I didn't think some of those time signature were mathematically or physically possible to play. One of the most mind blowing things I have ever seen.

[celticcon]

These time signatures are of another dimension

[topheat]

2:34-3:24 the way that bass pattern lines up over the 4/4 is insane. i still cant figure it out

[alexpaddock]

Man thank you SO MUCH for this. It would be next to impossible to figure this song out without it. Following along with the transcription makes it so much easier to play (that being still hard as fuck, but slightly less hard as fuck)

[jasper]

Heh, thanks for this! My most popular video is a playthrough of a section of Bleed on a practice pad, reading along with your transcription. I think I gave ya credit in the description ✌️🥁

Just 1 minute of this and I'm subscribed

[ursbasteck]

Watched the whole thing, I'm now better than before.

[JoeyBullet]

This is awesome practice for 4 finger bass, i can only do certain parts though cuz them triplets lock up the forearm. Thanks for this upload dude.

[mrbtapir]

Thanks for this mate, i am just starting to learn the tune drums-wise and this has helped me work it out in my head.

[PrimitiveAK]

I don’t even play drums yet here I am.
