That's it. Start out really slow, and soon you'll be able to play it in your sleep.
Honestly ?? the fourth note is an upstroke? that messes with my thrash diseased brain lol

I suggest that you listen to the riff slowed down, even 20% helps, its a lot easier to hear it out how it is rhythmed (its in patterns of four hits something like xxx-x--xxx-x--xxx-x--xxx-x-- etc), the way you play it is more up to you. Play it like you find it easiest to do. In the video Fredrik plays it D U D D

Shit, if you think that feels weird on your right hand, try playing the kick pattern.

I play it on guitar like I play it on drums.
Right foot = down stroke
Left foot = up stroke
RLR L RLR L
DUD U DUD U
DUDE!

Thats just how it is...
I have my doubts about that shit. I worked a Meshuggah show and sat and talked some shit with Haake and watched this DVD he had filmed, also... there aint too many fuckers out there nailing that if they catch all the intricacies shot for shot.... guitar included. Good ol Marten speaks volumes on that vid.. its far more intense than people generally notice... there's shit going on that fails through the cracks a lot. As a general word: Meshuggah > you.

Yep, there's a reason why even they only play 3 minutes of it live instead of the full song. It's a fucking handbreaker on guitar, and probably even worse on drums.

It's definitely played DUD U DUD U etc.... Tricky to get it to sound as tight and aggressive that way as DUD D DUD D is which is how I initially practiced it until realizing it was fucking inhumanly fast...
I've always wondered why Haake didn't play the kick part like RRL R LLR L RRL R LLR L etc... Heel toe for the double strokes with each foot so basically you are just playing a steady 8th note double bass roll with little double stroke accents... It's WAY more comfortable that way

I play it to what ever the drummer is playing. If the drummer chooses to play; RLR R RLRL then I'm DUD D DUD. It should sound even nicer when you have a hard kicking drummer with a nicely micked up kick drum.

I can play that pattern, but I haven't given the song a shot... yet. I'm quite sure I can't play that song, let alone play drums at all. I never have time to practise, I suck ass balls (?)!
But yeah, I can play that pattern and it's extremely easy for me for some reason. I started practising that pattern before I heard Bleed actually, and when I heard Bleed, it triggered something in me that just kept practising that pattern a little now and then. Today, I can play that pattern at a fucking fast speed if I may say so myself, quite a bit faster than Bleed's tempo, and I can also hold it out for a decent amount of time.
About the "I've always wondered why Haake didn't play the kick part like RRL R LLR L RRL R LLR L etc...

However, on patterns like RLR RLR RLR RLR (typical metal breakdown beat), I tend to like playing alternating like RLR LRL RLR LRL instead so yeah... I guess I'm for both ways
If it works, it works, it's all individual.Similar threads
