DRUMEO (Sleep Token's II) "The Iconic Drumming Behind “The Summoning” // Audio Eng & Drummer React

[@Thee1terrorist]

that man gets his money's worth out of those cymbals

[@mattthompson5908]

Part of the long video he talks about altering songs when playing live. Coming up with more interesting parts as he has more time to sit with a finished song

[@AayJayEmm]

I love that he does this. And it isn't just 1 studio version and then 1 live version he worked on before the tour. He is constantly evolving pretty much every single song. A good example of this is Higher, since it is an older track. Check a few playthroughs and live performances from over the years. You can see/hear it gradually changing.

Really enjoyed watching this specially with the perspective of a drummer!! Thank you so much for making this video, always loving the sleep token videos from you 🤍

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for watching and the comment. So glad you enjoyed it !!

[@robertpetre9378]

Genres are for movies Sleep Token play good music

[@danandersson7768]

Drummer is called II like the roman numerals for 2

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks, Dan!! Yeah, I mistakenly thought it was "ILL", lol!! Since learned of the mistake but still call him "ILL" on occasion to laugh at myself 🙃.

[@TheAquaponic1]

Shout out to Arizona boys. If you look at it, most of his cymbals are Effects cymbals. So expressive. Ziljian started in 1623, oldest continuous running musical instrument company. Neat stuff guys. The full interview is a must, not a lot of talking.... most of the time is playing.

[@musikbyjh]

Yoooooo - thank you very much!!! Appreciate you watching and dropping this comment!!

[@NyckulasLowe]

Ghostnote Killah, baby!

[@cynthiamiller483]

I knew I had missed something! When it got to his solo, I found that my head was rolling with the Toms. Also, did I hear rim shots and closed High Hat hits? Just trying to figure out if I’m learning anything. This was really great to listen to. You guys are full of knowledge! 🎶 Cyd

[@DreadDrum]

Yes there are rim shots and hi hat hits in that section. Good ear!

[@PaulArnold-z1o]

Awesome drummer & great reaction - on the Sleep Token vibe .... have yiu guys done any of "Delta Empire" - another masked drummer with some serious chops ( his cover of "Perfect Drug" is amazing & would love to hear what u's think)

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for the nice comment and suggestion. Don't think we've heard 'em, but happy to add to the list. Appreciate you!

[@mattthompson5908]

That hour long version is great. The talking sections aren't that long

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks, Matt! We'll check out privately. But out of curiosity, would you watch an hour-long reaction? We've done a full concert and an album review which were an hour, but would appreciate your sanity check. Thank you!!

[@AayJayEmm]

@@musikbyjh​​⁠​⁠ I’m not who you were asking, but I 100% would. Especially if Matt is with you! He helps take it to the next level

[@musikbyjh]

@@AayJayEmm We love hearing from you, so thanks for sharing your thoughts!!! This is SO good to know...and you are right, Matt definitely makes any video better, he's awesome!!!

[@AayJayEmm]

@@musikbyjh I'll keep my fingers crossed!! I'd say my knowledge/understanding of drumming is roughly similar to yours (Jeremy). So whenever you ask Matt to explain something in more detail, it is usually exactly what I'm thinking! Perfect haha.

[@musikbyjh]

@@AayJayEmm I love to hear that, my friend! I love the drums...just never been a drummer. I've learned a lot!

[@meganxeileen]

ii makes it look so easy but I 100% wouldnt be able to do it

[@NijFix]

'Higher' is ii at his most optimal.

[@ursuladawnvermeulen893]

Sleep Token is a collective not a band. Only two permanent members. Vessel i and Vessel ii. Singer and drummer. They do all the writing for the songs and everything in studio. The backyp singers are only in for live performances because the boys like to covet lyrics over each other. They are the Espera (not sure of the spelling) and are their own band. The basist iii and the guitarist iv are only with them for live shows.

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks again for the second comment!

[@ursuladawnvermeulen893]

Please don't call him ill. It's weird. You need to check out the drumeo vid for Dark Signs. It is beautiful.

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for the feedback! And we’ve covered “Dark Signs” a while back.

[@chrisskarsbo]

Adam Pedder everyone... the best

[@musikbyjh]

Catch us up Joe, is everyone now up-to-speed with the real identities?

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodba6677]

​@@musikbyjhi was skeptic for a sec. But in the record credit there are actually the Vessel(Singer) and II names on it cus it's only them writing the stuff

[@robertandre778]

oh they don't need robotic voice anymore , since erverbody knows who they are now ;p

[@musikbyjh]

Such a shame.

[@KartalaBreed]

@@musikbyjh ​ Vessel still uses a robotic voice, and II just uses a voice filter in the drumeo interview. There are no video interviews of III or IV speaking. Plenty of people still don't know who they are because they don't look them up and it's discouraged by the fan base, though it is relatively easy to find out.

Ah, hm, and Vader doesn't need a helmet anymore when you know the actor, right?
