The July 2013 issue of MODERN DRUMMER magazine (Carter Beauford cover, available at newsstands now) includes a “Gearing Up” feature with drummer Tomas Haake of Sweden’s extreme, technical metal band MESHUGGAH. Drum kit details such as Haake’s stacked cymbals, hardware, drum heads, pedals, electronics, sticks, drum throne, why he’s downsized his kit, and even the 2013 MODERN DRUMMER Readers Poll results… it’s all there for you to analyze & talk shop over.
