Thank you for watching! We had a great time at NAMM, putting drummers up for a challenge. All of these songs are featured on Drumeo, where you can learn from them through song transcriptions and drumless tracks. Click the link to get started with your 7-Day Free Trial! 👉🏼 www.Drumeo.com/trial

I love Drumeo; they always hit us with fun, quality content. Do you guys have ii's performance without the interview? I'd gladly pay for that because the mix is amazing, and unfortunately, YT compresses audio. It should be Sleep Token's default mix because his playing adds so much to the songs which doesn't always come through on the album. Also, his live performance has much more variation, making it that much better.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

@@chris-C8 That performance is part of II’s #DrumeoLIVE lesson. Check it out here 👉🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIC0e4efftyqe6Mfeature=shared

[@thomasreis414]

Unrelated question to the video, will the drum kit make a comeback? Lost my opportunity to buy it when it was available and would really like to have another chance to get my hands on one :)

[@DrumeoOfficial]

@@thomasreis414Yes! We are working on it. 🙌🏼 SOLD OUT so fast! 😱

[@lutesjay]

$20 is a lot for a drummer!

[@themobiustripper]

What music store are you going to? That's stick money.

[@Weiers7466]

Well, you could buy other drum accessories like a kick/click pad for bass drum for example

[@sawyersaucetm]

Thats what im talking about

[@leayhgbbrvxzwaxhyunrxeaXgy]

Nic Collins don't think so.

[@Iceman259]

$20 buys a lot of lasagna… no wait that’s Garfield

[@bench2346]

what brandon and drumeo have done on this channel over the last 1-2 years in terms of creative direction and content is something that all directors from media organizations should study in my opinion. i'm not a drummer, and was never even particularly interested in it, and yet i find myself not just watching every new video drumeo puts out -- but then recommending them to other friends and family who ALSO know nothing about drums. it truly is an art form to be able to take something that is so highly technical and deliver it to viewers in a digestible way that makes it interesting, entertaining, and inspiring to EVERYONE.

[@hoks9973]

So true!!!

[@360.Tapestry]

yes! couldn't have said it better - but i also benefit as a weekend wannabe

[@silentgnome]

You're totally right.

[@WoockerSocket2]

You do realize a lot of people do this right 😅

[@bench2346]

@@WoockerSocket2 yes? thats the pt of my comment - how accessible this content is to drummers and non drummers alike. dont be that guy going around trying to ruin nice things.

Plot Twist: Eloy is actually II from Sleep Token

[@jmkqfnvyl87]

Double plot twist: he is also Nyango Star. . .

[@DeadeyeDaily]

Pin this comment! 😄

[@RichBTV]

Given the recent new the last couple of days this comment didn't age well lol Now everything is pointing to Slipknot

[@colinryan4737]

​@@RichBTVlol it was a joke. Eloy was with Sepultura anyways, so he couldn't be with Sleep Token. We all know this 😂

[@RichBTV]

@@colinryan4737 🤣🤣 Yeah i was making a joke as well. lol Eloy is a badass though! I loved Jay but Eloy would be good as well i think.

[@johnlopez4089]

Collins is on it. What a student of drumming 👍👍

[@mk.5706]

That young man impresses me a lot. I don´t know how many children of mega world stars turn out to be so humble, knowledgable and most of all likeable.

[@MrShoryuken1]

Golden ears

[@sabbathjackal]

He looks like will wheaton

[@parapapapa69]

You know the dude is competitive af hehe

PTSD, man. PTSD.

[@50ULL355_music_gaming]

I was about to write the same thing lmao

[@anthonypayne2526]

This was so badass! Next time, don't reveal the drummer for us either, until after we've seen the pros guess. That way, we get to take our shot, too

[@allarounddowntown4336]

Agreed! This video would have been 10x more fun and engaging if it was edited so that we the viewers had a chance to guess before the artist was revealed. Still very enjoyable though!

[@vladislavspiho9108]

I totally agree. Still a fun video.

[@maniacguitar]

Agreed

[@stoatystoat174]

Agreed. Or a "Look away now" warning

[@carbonc6065]

YES, thank you!

[@blakebutcher3699]

greyson recognising II, was totally expected

[@andrewhughes102385]

Real recognize real 💯

[@vendettasnares]

Greyson even covered Sleep Token's Alkaline on Drumeo - the same track that they played him for guessing game 😅

[@user-fo6ve2kp6w]

i think he covered Hypnosis, not Alkaline @@vendettasnares

[@soulessshadow5356]

Ha! This was entertaining to watch! Love the concept, Brandon!

[@teamconspiracy]

So cool for these drummers to hear Metallica for the first time too

[@Celari]

Love the edit of Eloy when people guessed him as if he was laughing at them! Hahaha

[@IftkharAhmed]

Nic Collins is an OG at music trivia. Unreal that he knows so much about so many different genres. Well done.

[@IAmSaveRio]

True student of drumming. Man's taking what his father built and building upon it. Seems like a real one

[@silentgnome]

His father is one of the greatest drummers of all time so he should have learned a lot hahaha.

[@danieljay8009]

I just wanna hang out with him, he seems so wholesome

[@timfennis91]

And from the video it seems he knew all of them in like 2 seconds as well

[@beastmry]

The recognition on Chad Smith shows that being iconic is almost always better than being more proficient

[@jesselucero4581]

Drumeo has always been great but over the last 2 years or so its really been on fire and found its stride, well done as usual.

[@reshpeck]

Nic Collins reminds me of Dave Mustaine on Celebrity Jeopardy. Not just getting every answer correct but 100% confident each time

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

Or CC DeVille

[@antoniokofoed7139]

I have to watch that

[@julioluiz]

thanks for showing me this

[@mariocastillo8334]

II as the final boss? You guys are evil and I'm here for it.

[@captainkater6776]

I was hoping for exactly that when he mentioned the bonus round 😂

[@44ham]

What is this line, holy sht

[@DimitriFantini]

That was really fun! Thanks for having me guys!

[@giullianomartini]

Nic did an amazing job, but Tosh did the same thing and people didn't discuss it. Tosh's energy is unmatched, and he seems like a really cool person. Nic is always really cool, but he's the opposite of Tosh, super calm and focused. hahaha Both of them are really impressive and OGs on drums.

[@janocronismo]

How can you not get Chad Smith? Love this one. Drumeo is by far one of my go-to channels. Cheers!

[@chadcarrdrums]

no kidding and yet they knew II of Sleep Token. wth?

[@clarenceoveur9497]

@@chadcarrdrums Mate, I thought it was the Masked Magician, and it was a meme from Drumeo lol Seriously, who th is "II", never heard of Sleep Token before

Impaled by my own drumming sword - I should have known! Love these Drumeo dudes.

[@stickerey]

dude, imagine being so unique and pristine quality for decades that literally everyone in your profession identifies your work. insane

[@BrandonToews]

This was a blast 😂

[@chiefluke210]

Music is so wonderful in that musicians on any instrument can have their own recognizable sound. People can recognize EVH on guitar in an instant, and now even II from Sleep Token on drums.

[@HenritheHorse]

I knew everyone else except 2 sounded like every Superior Drummer used under a guitar demo for the last 10 years.

The only decent Video from Namm 2024 so far, all the other channels videos have been trash.

[@WakarimasenKa]

Now I dont know any of them... But has anyone ever seen Eloy and II in the same place at the same time?

[@ProBBWorld]

Nic Collins is a cool dude 😎 Too bad Mr. Nekrutman hadn't recognized 'em all 😅

[@MS-dz1di]

But he guessed II. He had played another song from him last year.

Drumeo has the best videos...makes me want to switch from guitars to drums every time I see one of their videos...drummers are just plain cool

[@Wholelottalugs]

Seriously loving the fact I joined Drumeo and picked up sticks 17 months ago. I am so much happier and always want to practice and learn more because of the amazing drumming community I have on-line and now in person…all from taking that one step. 🤘🏻

That was a lot of fun to watch. Kudos to your network and all the folks who keep it rockin!

[@SirSurarn]

Loved this content and would love it if you made more like this one!

[@Datababble]

Yo! Brandon and crew - this video is dope. I hope the metrics are consistent - this is a great formula. I know this was NAMM etc., but this is the first video I've seen from you that speaks to the "legacy" of all these great Drumeo videos. I say this a lowly bass player, but...this was fun trip!

[@CharlesIanChun]

I love watching you spread the love of drums!

[@reactionviewer]

The editing on this is top notch. Love the clips of the drummers laughing or smiling.

Heartwarming to see the young drummers getting the names right, a sign of a serious drummer. That was so cool to watch

[@mriforgiate]

Collins!! Damn bro, that dude is a student of the art, across all genres! Super impressive

[@Icemankg]

So cool to see Cobus in the video. He is no question my number one inspiration from the era or KZbin drummers and covers.

[@memonomoto7419]

Every drummer should aspire to be like Chad Smith. Imagine having such an iconic playing style that people almost automatically know it's him playing. Severely underrated drummer imo

[@maxgolubnichiy]

Thanks for the great content. Brings a lot of joy and a strong sense of collectiveness in the drummer world. Keep it up, Drumeo!

[@HailToTheKidA]

This was so fun. Next time I'd love to see for a bit of delay between when the drummer is revealed and they hear the part so we at home have the ability to make some guesses. Consistently amazing content y'all!

Chad Smith but I would have also accepted Will Ferrell Seems like everybody guessed sleep token but that's the one I would not have guessed, I did love the isolated drum track though!
