SLEEP TOKEN II: ''Chokehold'' - Sleep Token (Live From Budapest)

[@xacttone]

That snare isn't getting paid enough.

[@lucasfeitosa7868]

he is using rimshot... this technique makes the sound more beautiful...

[@lopezmotorsports]

I think those ghost notes need a full time job offer with healthcare benefits and profit sharing. 😄

[@youropionmattersnot]

Kick drum begging for recognition....

[@robaay6881]

Looks triggered but the mix sounds like a bit of live drum is in there.

[@ThomasMangold-il9sh]

@@robaay6881There‘s a mic on there as well, maybe the trigger controls a gate.

[@joshplaysbass5135]

everyone talking about II (who is amazing) but III's bass in the verse is incredible as well

[@pulyabacsi]

also the synths and the melody on the guitar in the background, you bearly hear these on the studio recording. these in.ear mixed are awesome to discover more details

[@Beton4iks]

Indeed.

I love the sound of the snare drum.

I know we are supposed to be admiring II for his drumming, but damn the bass levels in this are amazing. Way more clear than the recordings.

[@KingJerbear]

@@jamesdavies6342 this seems like a pretty natural sound. I'm guessing the triggers are to change the tone for some of their more electronic sounding songs

Can't go wrong with Istanbul Agop. I just got a 24" 30th Anniversary Ride - so many sounds coming out of 1 cymbal. Amazing.

[@Jimbo386000]

@PatrickWitherow damn I bet that's beautiful! I can't afford that, but I have been looking heavily into the xist series and I think the brilliant 20" ride is gonna be my first Istanbul agop purchase. Hopefully soon because I'll have the money soon.

[@PatrickWitherow]

@@Jimbo386000Those are great and at great pricing too. I’m looking at an Xist 22” Dry Dark Brilliant for an accent cymbal.

[@resetone7490]

Helmet had that snare Years back

[@mannybravo237]

That's a percussive piece he uses at the start I haven't seen before. And, I thought his name was iL, capital 'i', lower case 'l'. He's '2', roman numeral II, oh, now we know. Moody marching number, mr. II

[@chriscarrillo967]

haha I thought so too - each member is known as a Vessel of the band, due to their lore - simple answer is they are all called Vessel (Vessel 1, 2, 3, 4) , but singer is just Vessel and the others go by roman numerals, II on Drums, III on Bass and IV on guitar. Solid band and amazing drumming for sure. Check out his Drumeo feature if you are interested in more of his playing technique
