[@jmlopez5260]

This drummer is out of this world… with all due respect, I don’t give a fuck the ultra fast or flashy style, his sense is of music, rythm and space is way better and beyond that!

It's how effortless II makes this look for me. I know a lot of how effortless this looks has to do with not being able to see his face, but his movements are so fluid and fast. drummers are always so impressive to me, but II is just in another league

He kills it actually better live its insane, i have not heard someone this good in modern music i wish you could have hear the singing . this was a instrumental, the singer is a virtuoso he writes all of it

[@robdaniel3211]

This is one of my favorite snare tones of all time. And yes, I realize part of it is how he plays it too. Perfect technique for that pop.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup slammin'!

[@zilla82]

Hitting that snare like it has an unpaid debt. The best dude

[@UnXplainable1]

He’s so sick. Hypnosis stays more in one lane genre-wise compared to others in their catalog, but “next-level” is such a great way to describe the approach here. He probably could have easily gotten away with a more straightforward groove, but the hat work and fills in the verses elevate the song to much higher levels. You definitely should check it out with vocals, too. Vessel’s voice and lyricism are unmatched in my book. Worship.

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

Oh man you gotta dive deep into their discography. The Offering is absolutely a great place to start.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you!

What a drummer. First time I've seen this guy play. There discography is so out there

[@jleffel6969]

He reminds me of Abe Cunningham from the Deftones between the pocket, the crisp fills, the accents and dynamic work.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great call!

[@moser7536]

Also reminds me of Dan Searle from Architects with his play style and similar fill structures.

I thought the same thing upon hearing them the first time. Abe is my all time favorite drummer. This dude rips for sure.

He's an absolute unit. Worship.

[@Dream25_]

I grew up listening to Rush and Dream Theater with my Dad, later on to Tool, and in my younger years a lot of deathcore and the like, and seriously II is the only drummer I had to see to make sense of, if you just listen to some of their songs you'd be convinced he had 3 arms. He's on a level I didn't even know existed.

[@merpinallday]

Same here! Prior to II, my favorite was Portnoy.

[@soulfate2]

This band is great! Love this mystery and the musicianship .. brilliant

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes this is class!

The drummer is also a drum teacher. Creative guy, stunning skill. Thanks for reviewing this, love seeing people smile and experience Sleep Token for the first time. This is a particular treat for you to see the drummer first, too.

[@trevor112211]

Thank you so much for covering this! Sleep Token is so underrated.

[@notdynomonkey]

I'm soooo glad you did this song. This drummer kicks ass in this song.

[@donsingh327]

I am new to sleep token..... but I am not new to music... this drummer stands out..... his fills ...his sense of music is insane..... what he brings to music is at a different level......he doesn't have a talent. ..he has a gift....

[@lachlanrusin987]

I was waiting for this I knew you would react to this! I saw this guy live last month, he is an actual alien. His fills are of the charts

[@bdssoaz]

Beast of a drummer! And what a great band! 👌🤘🤘

[@theopinson3851]

The original has vocals and they’re amazing, but I think he wanted to use an instrumental version to focus on the drumming. The vocalist is incredible…probably the most noteworthy member of the band.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Sounds good. But these play throughs are awesome for focusing on the drums

[@TyConquers]

I knew it would only be a matter of time before you discovered my favorite band Andrew, you got quite the rabbit hole to jump into!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So good Tyler

[@MirandaW006]

seeing them live is so good. one of the fewer acts i've seen that sound just as good, or even better in person vs recording!

[@KJiinX]

I play the guitar, but I've ALWAYS wanted to learn drums, but the first time I tried I couldn't for the life of me manage to hold one beat with the bass drum, and another with the sticks. So much respect to drummers, because I cannot wrap my mind around how the brain is able to do that.

[@SABRE2099]

Sleep token is other worldly in their talent. I was hooked the moment I first heard them, absolutely incredible band. My wife and I have our suspicions that Gail Ann Dorsey (David Bowie's bass player) is Sleep Tokens bass player, they move exactly the same on stage and are of similar height and build.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh nice. We will see...

This open guitar part in the verse lends so much room for fills. And i love how he places them at different points in the sequence. Theyre not all at the same time in the riff

[@ericdravenX00X]

Yeah, i have known of Sleep Token for probably about a year now... Vessel 2 has a interesting style, in how upright he sits on the kit.. Personally i think it highlights his drumming style, getting to see his overall playing style and technique.. Sleep Token is an amazing band also everything thing have ever released has been Very captivating....

Awesome!!!! I did not even knew they released an official drum play through until I saw on your channel and Craig Reynold's.

Sleep Token is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. The sheer raw talent both Vessel has on vocals, keyboards and piano and II has on drums just wow, I cannot wait for them to get bigger and more recognition. I could listen to II jam all day.

the thing I think I love the most about his playing is how he uses the cymbals. The timbre and texture choices are just so enjoyable. He delays a lot of the punchy elements too which is also satisfying. Snare tuning is noice!

Crisp CRISP “Pock-ett” lol. Man I love this channel. I wish I didn’t live pay check to pay check. Cause over the years watching you - I’ve had like a massive list accumulates of things I wish I could see you react to. But I understand why Patreon exists and why patrons obviously get to pick the songs. But either way. I’m a fan. Not sure if you ever do streams. But that would be an awesome way to make a lot of videos and take requests to react to on streams - so non patreons get a chance to request stuff. And it rhay aerrinr or would be cool to request seminal bands that don’t have the massive followings or even the flashiest players. But drummers that are great Song writers - bands like Slint - where the drummer doesn’t write drum “beats” as much as composing the songs from the drums up. slint - Washer is a great song by slint. And they recorded it in the late 80s when they were all super Young and the drummer Britt writes amazing compositions on the drums. Saw a comment on that song thay describes his drumming as “sounding like waves crashing , swelling and rolling with the tides” and it’s a perfect description.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Love all this. Yup have looked at streams although 66Samus got a strike doing that!

[@danielc3321]

Definitely listen to the music with vocals. Their singer is really good, and so is the songwriting. I think their melodies combined with the heaviness make Sleep Token a good bridge into heavier music for those who don't usually listen to that kind of thing.

[@danrmetal]

Do more sleep token!!! Wait to you hear the vocals as well.

[@OnEst_Opinion]

How II makes it look like he isn’t even trying blows my mind. WITH A MASK ON lol I don’t think many drummers could possibly hit 100% of one of their own songs blindfolded, some but rare, and I believe II could do it blindfolded with objects throw at him. He’s unreal. Best part is, that’s the idea 😈 craziest thing about him and the band is the ONE OTHER MEMBER, Vessel, has the vocals of a god. So a non-human drummer with a goddess of a voice singing. Welcome to Sleep Token.

I discovered them late, with their new album Take Me Back To Eden but they have been out since 2019 and their debut album Sundowning and their second This Place Will Become Your Tomb is equally as epic.
