Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
The long-standing percussionist in Swedish “extreme” metal group, Tomas Haake made his name known for playing 4/4 grooves with his off-hand and playing poly-rhythms with his dominant hand. Tomas is fast and powerful, tonally similar to a lot of the nu-metal and deathcore bands coming up around the time Meshuggah showed up. Tomas is a remarkable drummer who manages to weave complex rhythms into otherwise "simple" songs in basic time signatures.
