yo is L’Via L’Viaquez a video you have from him? that's a wild song.

[@pearlrival3124]

alls im sayin: blew the awesome drum solo in the live outro.

[@ereimul1444]

Chad smith should listen and play Sleep Token

[@raizoki7487]

I think being put in front of a drum kit and being asked "learn this Sleep Token song the fastest as possible" is probably one of the things that would terrify me the most ! Good Job Chris !

[@xDreaMxPyr0x]

RIGHT?! I feel the exact same

[@domithedrumster]

it's like AI wrote a strange drum part that you have to learn

Whaaaaaat? Hitting that bell icon so fast!

O M G. Gonna be something awesome. Will you make II play something new or learn something fast? Or maybe both for two videos? :D

[@portal432]

I caught them this fall in a venue that was WAYYYYY too small. I grabbed tickets the day the went on sale, the resellers were selling them for 400-600 day of. It was a crazy show, all the girls would scream like they were watching the beatles. It was crazy, i had never seen anything like that. He would dance all goofy, it was like a boy band but metal. @@dalj4362

[@heidevolk_le_gueux]

12/19/23 they will have II on drumeo :)

[@forrestjames9691]

Chris is a totally AWESOME, let me say it again, AWESOME drummer. He utterly smashed that in under 60mins. He seemed so unhappy with the outcome (because of his incredible humility), but I challenge anyone to do better in that time. Damn you DRUMEO guys, giving him something so complicated and NOT giving him better feedback for how well he did with it!

[@aaronfisher7159]

II is such an incredible drummer. Every single part he plays is intentional and just the right amount of everything. Super hard to replicate

[@Vicaralus]

Have watched Plini live about a year ago and thought the drumming was incredible. Wasn't familiar with Chris's work then... now I know why I loved the drums so much. He's an absolute beast!

[@aaronsandberg21]

dude 2 is easily solidifying himself as one of the greats and its no easy task to try and play his style. You did well but can we all take a second to realize how well respected 2 is for being so new to the scene

[@ericramirez2433]

its almost comforting seeing a drumming machine like Chris, to look lost in something he is so amazing at.. makes me feel a tad better lol.. love you Chris

[@potatocaesar1434]

I really liked the use of the ghost notes. It seems that he was able to use them to 'reset' if the time signature abruptly changed, and it worked! Really good run!

[@pezcore350]

I was very distracted by them actually. It made me wonder if drummers that use them often are incapable of “turning that off” when playing music that doesn’t use them

[@potatocaesar1434]

​@@pezcore350ooh, really interesting take. From experience I'd say no, it's okay to turn it off if the song calls for a straight 2 and 4. But here, I guess a lil subjective since he didn't know the vibe of the song with the odd time changes.

[@assaultines2335]

bro he absolutely locked in at the end of it, he KILLED it

[@danielrichardhorvath3813]

The craftmanship shown here is incredible.

[@jofugitt]

YOU DIDN'T - YOU DID I am so excited to see II on here! Chris did such a good job!

[@prblackhawk]

Saw Plini live in Anaheim recently. Hes an amazing drummer live. Im glad they keep it real and show professionals struggling to learn new songs

[@niagutierrez17]

that was so incredibly impressive, kudos to Chris and to II for playing such a complex piece and making it sound so good!!

[@jasonsell8523]

Somehow this is the most impressive one yet. It just feels the most realistic.

[@Chree80]

Nice work! Enjoyed that little promo at the end as well. ii is coming to Drumeo! Looking forward to it!

[@jcborges96]

THE ENDING THOUGH

[@jcborges96]

Chris, you absolute monster

[@JeffBangsTV]

This was fun to watch! I love seeing how differently people can interpret the time for this song.

[@JS0620_]

Can’t believe I guessed this coming!! II you are being very honored, congrats on the roses coming to you.

[@mitchellkirkpatrick5714]

this is such a hard song. And this guy did all of this in under an hour. that's truly awesome.

[@PaulosMetalMusic]

Dude, its difficult to play when you know the song, imagine hearing it once before... As a ST fan and musician, this is nightmare coming true😵‍💫 but damn, Chris rly nailed it. Give him a day and hes II the Second😁🩹

[@GCF-Media]

I love what he did with the end section.

[@Axel-tb7ci]

Let's go Chris! Absolutely love his playing and style, the guy is a BEAST!

[@ricardobode14]

I would Love to see Chris play Post Malones Rockstar. Chris is one of my favorite drummer, thanks for having him

[@FLmetalhead]

Saw Plini live like a month ago. They were epic. Sounded better than the album. Perfect sound.

[@TheRottenDoll_]

OHHHH I’m so ready for December 19 BRING IT ON Also: damn impressive, II is an actual monster, learning this can’t be easy and yet he slayed, musicians amaze me every damn time

[@micahbottoms]

His feel on the last section was sooo good

[@WineOnTheDime]

Chris is awesome! This was like pushing a rope up-hill both ways and he accomplished it. VERY WELL DONE!

[@CMFoodFun]

The tuning on the snare was so different from IIs set i feel like it made the sound a bit akward. I think he plays with Gels on. But his playtrough and the way he managed to learn this song within an hour is crazy. very well done.

[@descantinginsalubrious]

We need to talk about Chris's snare....I LOVE that thonk!

[@keast18]

This inspires me to drum again

Chris is a master drummer. He did a fantastic job with this ridiculous challenge!

[@Diddle1414]

His cymbal combination is awesome.

[@KingRammy]

What an incredible skill. Dude starts playing a new song on the fly in a few takes, and still puts together a super high quality playthrough. Absolutely epic props. Also love how raw this is. Super cool to not just see "here's another drumming god, yes they're all perfect, git guud newb". haha

[@stevepadla4591]

[@tallnotdeaf]

I actually like that he really wanted to know the parts, I’ve watched a couple of these first listen videos (I’m not a fan) and they pretty much always just do their thing but you can see here that he really tried to play the right thing. Shows his professionalism as a musician.

[@mikedawesofficial]

Yes Chris

[@DanPow3004]

We bloody love Chris

[@justalostneko]

Amazing video!!! But also I lowkey was hoping that you'd let him hear a live version so he also gets to attempt the drum solo before the funk part that II usually plays in live performances as well!

[@JacobSotiris]

Amazing effort. I can't help but feel trying to add so many ghost notes on every part is distracting him from just vibing with the song itself and learning the nuances in the melody. Not a critique, as its better than I would have done, but I found the constant ghost notes distracting, so can only imagine they were making it distracting as a playing as well.

[@ivandelvalle2784]

[@jonathonshaw6688]

Impressive! I also kinda like the idea that Chris actually is II, and people were getting too close to figuring it out, so he deliberately pretended to struggle with a Sleep Token song, so as to deepen his cover. 🤣

II is a master of filling up literally every single empty space with something, without making it crowded at all... something I think a lot of musicians struggle to do. It's actually quite freaky watching him play live. Fair play to Chris, this is a superb take.

[@frostfang1]

Yea my favorite ballet reels are when the dancer is talking about how hard it was and you can actually see them struggling to do something that they've done and practiced for days and months and years. It's beautiful to watch them at the best, but I respect the effort so much more when I see them struggle. Because I really can't know how hard it is for them.

That's why I want to see Matt Halpern do this. I've never seen that guy miss a beat or play anything that isn't insanely tasteful. He says he struggles but I have doubts lol He's also been touring 10 years and literally never plays without a click track so that's probably why he has the best timing of any drummer I've ever seen

Starting a Sleep Token song and saying “we’re removing the drums so let’s see you play it” is possibly the most difficult thing a drummer could do. I’m not even a drummer, let alone musician (just a serious music listener of all genres for over three decades now), and some of ST’s songs seem like an absolute NIGHTMARE to even attempt. This dude got a listen prior to, knows the band so is aware of their ways, and STILL had a difficult time. Shows how incredible they are as a band.
