I think your all caught up now to watch his hour long drumeo interview playthru video. Great video

[@ashlenamusic]

Can’t wait!

[@lolpalolo]

youre right the drumming in sleep token songs is amazing, as a drummer I enjoy it soo much

[@Captain_Kirk116]

This performance is insane and it always blows my mind how coordinated drummers are cuz it's the only instrument I can think of where you have to use all of your limbs. That ambient part before the funky outro was a lot more intricate than I thought hearing the drums isolated but it might have just been lower in the mix on the studio version.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

there are no drums on the ambient part in studio

[@loganheightchew1790]

no drums in the studio version, that’s his solo he plays during live shows, but like everything else ST and II related, it blew up so people wanted a good recorded version it.

[@davidriddick82]

Now you have to watch the 1 hour full interview with II and then the play through of many songs from Sleep Token, ITS BEYOND AMAZING II has become my favorite drummer, he’s so eloquent and flawless and he just does not miss with his incredible talents

[@ashlenamusic]

Will do!

[@jaredhochstetler9749]

As a drummer, watching ii break this down is like watching god play. Incredible!🔥🔥

[@jeffwilson3205]

Great drummers are straight up warlocks. I’m a trained bass player and I know what they’re doing, but it still blows my mind.

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha agreed! Drummers are just insane

[@HorseAholic73]

Haha “are we seeing this?” exactly! Insane.

[@srgsparky4764]

Love the embellishment and improvised version!!

[@kimp1221]

I would love to see a studio version of the summoning with IIs drum solo! Also ❤I’m with ya on the Travis thing. Like I’ve always appreciated other bands and the drumming parts but i haven’t really taken notice of a drummer since Travis until now and IIs drumming is just so amazing and so impressive!

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed! Crazy huh

[@TheAquaponic1]

Watch the full Drumeo INterview. I am old school multi-instrument musician and II crushes me. The interview is the fukn shit.... Love seeing you feel the way we all do.

[@ashlenamusic]

Will do!

[@beelzbop]

yesss I can say as a drummer he's not overly complicated but he's so damn tasty and clean. I love that he treats the drums as another instrument within the song and not just a time keeping part of the music. After years and years not having a 'favorite' drummer I can say he's quickly become mine just for mixing so many different styles that I like together. He makes me want to ~play~ and not just keep the beat.

[@itscarlos5754]

Can’t wait to see you react to This Place will be your Tomb🙏🏼

[@ashlenamusic]

Tomorrow xx

[@evaj2556]

Great reaction Ashlena! Watching ii play those drum patterns during the solo is fascinating! He looks so calm behind that kit..and yet, there he is..popping off like a machine gun!! Insane!!

[@ashlenamusic]

He’s so chill I love that about him

[@calmingchannelbillbistak]

II has the same effect on me as any footage of Neil Peart of RUSH which means they are NOT to be missed. Both are definitively different drummers, but both can compose brilliantly. As a drummer myself I had an earlier hunger for this style of drumming and was partially fed with Katatonia's Dead End Kings album, which featured Daniel Liljekvist on drums. Daniel, like II, has very similar drumming tastefulness, ghost note mastery, and a magical breathing quality with his finessed sticking. It is as if II imagined Daniels's style and gave it a fuller presence. This is why II captivates me. And of course, Vessel's voice is what keeps me listening millions of times.

[@ashlenamusic]

Totally agree

[@drumm1374]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@janishoshi]

I feel so dumb when II talks drum math 😂 my brain cannot understand haha 100% agree with you. Drummers are just different! I love that II decided to do these sessions to allow us enjoy and admire his art. Also, love Lana's Vinyl!

[@ashlenamusic]

I know I’m so glad he did as well!

[@TaraRyze]

so glad he won drummer of the year! He’s a beast..I’m convinced he has robot arms! 🦾🥁🤣

[@ashlenamusic]

lol definitely!

[@bhishekthakur1331]

14:31 The Summoning 😂 Actually it is "The Drummoning" lol

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahahahaha

[@masonherriott1684]

Love the reactions as always

[@ashlenamusic]

I appreciate that

[@jaysummer848]

🔥

[@NastyNate18B]

As a drummer, this both inspires me and defeats my motivation 😂 i can play linear fills, but they dont sound like that. Dude is incredible

[@ashlenamusic]

You can do it!

[@llSplice]

Best drummer.

[@TWMonty]

Hopefully Drumeo also recorded a “II hears X song for the first time” will be fascinating to see him put things together in real time.

[@drumm1374]

That would make my year!

[@Caldyman]

II is in his own league.

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed

[@oviate1]

If there was ever a man who truly deserves to have Bad Motherfucker on his wallet, it’s II.

[@ashlenamusic]

Truth

[@jessicaturner2890]

There is only one other drummer that I think will change your mind on drumming and this is none other than Danny Carey. Pneuma drum cam live just might change your mind permanently. They call him the human octopus. But II is right behind him.

[@dalj4362]

Bet you're really gagging to see them live now 😅😅

[@ashlenamusic]

I’m gonna lose my mind

[@Kira-qc4qi]

Noooooo. I should have warned you. This spoils the surprise for what he does live! I said dont watch any live vids but i didn't expect them to drop this! Shit!

[@Kira-qc4qi]

And you should do a song by song of Tomb. It's worth it

[@ashlenamusic]

That’s ok!

[@jamesschultz8260]

So does that mean we’re not getting album reactions for the rest of the albums?

[@ashlenamusic]

Nooooo. Just in 3 parts. This place will become your tomb comes out tomorrow

[@jamesschultz8260]

Awesome!!

[@II_SleepToken]

You haven’t been impressed by a drummer since blink182. Out there, there are thousands of people who haven’t been impressed by a drummer before at all like me. Ofc there are plenty of drummers that you may say he is the goat. But there is only one drummer who makes people to get the chops working even though you already passed your 20s.

[@ashlenamusic]

I’ve been impressed by other drummers but Travis was always my favorite

[@daniel_millican]

Totally agree, I have never really paid attention to drummers before, but with them, it was one of the first things I noticed🔥

[@ChadTheGirlDad]

You might be able to get away with chopping up your sundowning reaction into individual songs to get the views back

[@ashlenamusic]

True!
