SLEEP TOKEN II: ''Alkaline'' - Sleep Token (Live From Melbourne 2024)

[@10ekrom]

So quick with the chokes, the snare sounds amazing as always, and the way he changes up fills slightly each time he plays. So amazing!

[@Lilyyyisqueen]

I’ve noticed that also,each performance is slightly different, it’s like oh how am I feeling today, but each performance is amazing in its own way.

[@SantoRedentor]

He's got the cymbals on a chokehold

[@nexdrums]

That's meaning that the chops are not structured and copied by someone. He just applies paradiddles, double paradiddles, reverse doubles etc... Improvising basically all the fills. Skilled AF 🤟🏻

[@StefBelgium]

This happens when you play using sticking patterns. Then, from here, it is just Orchestration around the kick. There is no need to learn by heart or having a music sheet.

[@soul_less_23]

This mf smooth af. freaking love it.

[@chadhanalei5783]

He applies every technique beautifully

[@Loubeelou]

He makes it’s just look so effortless, he’s a phenomenal drummer!

[@vexxus3425]

Bro II has to be my favorite drummer ever I love him so much 💙

[@RealTroyE23]

❤

[@brezengirl]

The hardest working man in this band. God bless him, he is great!

[@rafaelyser7935]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD this souuuuund. the bass feels like my heart racing when he's crashing into the chorus.

[@krypttt]

sleep token would be light years worse without this guy, i hope they never have to change drummers because this dude is a beast

[@nexdrums]

Adam Pedder, impressive

[@alejandrocolon-iz7se]

They will never have too since the drummer is the founder of the band😒

[@randyjnocharles]

Believe me this is years of practice! Still the best drummer out there 🥵

[@troublednamed8054]

Best Is subjective 🤷 II is great no doubt ❤

[@lvsselle]

He’s good but you’ll find most of what he’s doing is common in gospel drumming for example. There’s quite a few drummers outside heavy music like Eric Moore or Tony Royster Jr where you will see a lot of the same stuff

[@Onew1ng3dZ]

@@lvsselleEric Moore is a legend. ii mentions he has had a lot of influence on his playing style and its just amazing specially being from the bay area seeing Eric Moore who lives a town a way make it big like this

[@weebsarecringe2102]

"Believe me this is years of practice! " - ye no shit sherlock.

[@Hoffmayne]

II is REALLY good and in my top 10 of all time but Danny Carey and Tomas Haake blow him out of the water

[@s.stinnett3972]

Those drum skills are EPIC! DAYUM!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Jimbo386000]

Those cymbals sound amazing

[@brenominas5819]

Clear... perfect... this sound is amazing...

[@YoteNick]

Double bass is clean and the snare sound is top tier

[@Deathvalley1980]

Masterful. Sadly most casual non metalhead listeners won't realize how much effort he puts in his work

[@JauntyWhale]

At least try hide your elitism.

[@Deathvalley1980]

@@JauntyWhale XD Since when being a metalhead is considered elitism? It's a fact across all varieties of art. Who appreciates a painting more? Someone who is a professional painter or someone who just casually strolls by a painting in the museum? At no point I said being a metalhead is better than not being one but when you are a metalhead and have listened to hours upon hours of rock and metal music, you notice the details II puts in his works more.

[@darcylayh9663]

I was there and his drumming made me fall in love with the band

[@winkzmusic1]

Take me to church damn. He’s absolutely amazing and the drums sound impeccable😮

[@DesignRhythm]

Damn. Sounded great.

[@sherimoi]

this one cymbal choked his way into my heart. immediately filed under Favorites.

[@lordPix3lUK]

What a lovely drummer you are watch, as a guitarist. Lovely

[@Marco67MI]

II is so incredibly fluid when playing... ❤

[@mobilesolutions1075]

He is the best. ❤ his style

[@stephendavis75]

Mask and drum flow is so cool

[@kevincaesarperdhana]

beautiful 1/16 🔥🔥🔥

[@diogorodrigues8265]

The most interesting about his playing is how he put the notes respecting the vocal and melody. I know who he is but I will respect his privacy. He always a prodigy kid(no more a kid) Play amazing since his first band

[@casualduck7398]

I think that's why I like the instruments especially the drums in their song. Everything that was done is to complement and elevate the song as a whole

[@diogorodrigues8265]

@@casualduck7398perfect !

[@rhysevans7903]

I like how his new mask pulls the same face as me when I watch this..

[@kr0nekxg347]

PEAK right here

[@smasha]

omg.........

[@tituspossenriede865]

Did he switch his china for an aux hihat??

[@tearfulplace5015]

It does seem like it, ive noticed a lot recently on his instagram he has been changing his cymbals up at lot different rides and crashes maybe he is experimenting with different sounds right now

[@drummer_max_7623]

15 dry dark hi-hat??????

[@james9269-8n]

I was beginning to doubt my tuning

[@Adhit-zi7nt]

Adam Pedder

[@gabeyman9587]

I thought the chair was his dumpy

[@rousse387142]

Is that a chic

[@stinkfloyd1]

That mask is symbolic of everyone's reaction to a fart in the room.

[@s.stinnett3972]

I believe the term is “stank face”….usually displayed when the music is banging. 😂

[@SGTsniperkill71638]

An exceptional drummer yes, beautifully played, but Adam isn’t the greatest out there

[@dylanb1179]

The stick flip around 1:29 blew my mind

[@Xch4r3nd4X]

yeah that was pretty sick

[@domenicdevries]

What stick flip? Are you sure it isn’t the lights?

[@dylanb1179]

@@domenicdevriesright after the cymbal bell strike around 1:29. It’s hard to see with the light but I think there was just enough time to do it. Looks like he bounced it off the bell and caught it.

[@Legnica148]

it is the lights effect but it looked pretty cool
