- Greyson Nekrutman embraced the challenge by immersing himself in the enigmatic rhythm of the anonymous band Sleep Token. Struggling through initial confusion, Greyson embarked on a musical quest to craft his own part after listening to a drumless track.
This wasn't a simple task; "Hypnosis" by Sleep Token is a demanding song. However, in the end, it truly highlighted Greyson's determination and creativity as he navigated this uncharted territory.

plot-twist Greyson is the drummer for Sleep Token but he tries to hide it
😂😂😂😂
This is probably more true than we know
Hahahaha this might be so true, 😊😅
He could be but he isn’t
😂😂😂
Dude was beating those drums like they owed him money, god damn.
Hit the skins hard (with dynamics) and the cymbals soft makes for a good mix.
Snare drums sound better when you whack em
And the cymbals too
I suppose it is subjective but for me but for a lot of players drums don't sound good when players really wack them. They sound better with control, it can be loud but must be controlled.. The player makes a big difference, often the groove breaks up and sounds bad when really hit hard. A great player can make a drums sound fantastic from quiet to loud but not go outside their ability to keep it sounding good.
@@micb3rd
I agree, It's all in context. Sometimes it propels the song by beating the piss outta everything for a bit, But dynamics and note placement IMO are what really makes a drummer a fellow "songwriter" (Whether they get credited is a different story) and an essential element of the whole.
"If I wasn't so hard on myself, I would have had more fun." Words to live by.
yep, i felt that like an arrow to the heart cause i'm like that...
Yes, he was focusing too much on doing it 'right', instead of focusing on how he would interpret the song play it.
@@TobyIKanobyYeah, but I'd say he was pretty close
@@reshpeck yes, didn't mean to say he didn't do well, on the contrary, it was great. I just feel like if he followed his feeling more instead of trying to be correct it might have been even better.
@@TobyIKanoby I was making a bit of a joke there
That double bass is hypnotizing
Yea its a neat speed increase through it. I really like how he did it.
you could say it puts you in a Hyphosis :D
Greyson “Pretty Close” Nekrutman absolutely killed it.
😭😭😭
pretty close!
he needed a pretty close counter
Ahhh naaah
Thats because he is II
These “blind” play throughs are some of the best videos on UA-cam. Greyson did an awesome job!
Kinda can't tell if I like II's verse parts or Greysons more
I agree, found these videos today and I am currently binge watching lol
@@samlissemore167 Oh for sure II for me. I thought Greyson killed the verse with the high-hats at first listen but now that I have discovered the original song, II makes Greyson's drumming almost as if it's off-beat
this is the best idea so far!! really like watching these videos!!
I don't even really like music that much and I've binge watched all of these.
The amount of passion in that drumming was insane. For someone who had no clue going into the song, then absolutely crushing it. That's raw talent right there in the purest form.
I don't know if it's the purest form, but it's pretty close
That he can make a pretty standard jazz kit sound this heavy is a feat in itself.
Not only a pretty standard kit, but it was also pretty close
Coz he a jazzmasta Kid)
Whoever mixes the drums for these types of videos needs to get a raise. The kit sounds insane.
I mean, it's a channel exclusively focusing on drums, but true, this kit sounds thick and juicy as hell!
Especially in a set of headphones. I keep listening to all these videos just for the sound.
You should hear it on my monitors
The verb on the snare is chefs kiss
Thought it sounded pretty boxy, small and crap really.
Whoever came up with this concept for videos is brilliant. Enjoy seeing pros play music genres they are not familiar with.
Greyson crushed it.
Let me get a Danny Carey video doing this please! Would be epic
@@veRGe02 would be fantastic. love watching Danny play Live. Human Octopus.
Big assumptions.
Who knows what he listens to? We know what he likes to play.. for us, but most drummers practice all styles.
Yep this is the best thing they’ve done in years
I'm not a drummer (bassist), but this series is incredible. I love watching what these guys do to songs they are not familiar with.
That video made me discover Sleep Token. Never heard of them and now i am hooked. That guy fucking delivered, this was really amazing.
Oh, I'd love to relive those first time listens! My first time was when Will Ramos from Lorna Shore covered this very song. 😅
Welcome aboard the Sleep Token train! Brace yourself, it's a hell of a ride!!
About to do a dive into them now due to this vid as well.
@@haloedge2829Same!
Same for me now I’m a big fan of them
Please… please… please… more Greyson Nekrutman on these. I honestly loved his take of that sleep token song. That was so bad ass, kid is so crisp he’s like fresh fucking laundry out of the dryer
Could watch endless videos of this guy
You can tell he was uncomfortable with this one but he crushed it. Only way we get better is by challenging ourselves.
nah not the case at all
@@jasonviolante1113tf you mean not the case he basically said it himself the entire time? 🤣🤣💀
@@judgepage6605 he was showing respect to a boring terrible band
@@jasonviolante1113band is great, get over yourself. Hypnosis is a fantastic track
@@jasonviolante1113 lmao what??
The way Greyson's face lights up every time he says "Thats pretty close!". You can tell he cares a lot about getting things right
His groove during the verses is so good. SO GOOD. It’s groovy af. You can really hear and see the Jazz shine.
I know naught about drumming, but the more I listen to drumming, those with jazz backgrounds appears to be more adaptable to any genre and sounds more groovy.
He added kind of a punkish metal nervousness to the song which is more on the goth dark side. It gives a whole other vibe to the song. I am no drummer but a big sleep token fan and this was really impressive. They should show it to II.
I agree with you 100%! Greyson gave it a totally different undercut and it feels more urgent, but it most certainly wasn't out of place. This was a fantastic offering. I think II would be proud.
Indeed, basically made it a HIM song and I'm not mad about it 😅
Dude, if this guy is ever tired of playing jazz he is ALWAYS welcome to join the metal community 😂 he's got the chops, the sense of groove, and the showmanship. Unbelievable talent
Holy shit, I did not know that
He plays in a metal band😀 (Suicide Tendencies)
Edit: More punk rock than metal but... yeah
@austintate7142 yeah I remember someone saying he plays jazz in videos because it gets more attention
his jazz style is insane. it's refreshing to see a professional like him get stumped when playing a completely different style.
I heard once that the people who can't make it to jazz joins the metal bands. Isit anywhere at all accurate When they accused metal to be easier than jazz?
Man, Greyson, too good. Wish he had more fun tho, man is hard on himself.
True
It's sort of encouraging to see one of the best modern drummers have zero confidence lol
Cause he's young enough to know how unnecessarily cruel people in comment sections are
And that's why I enjoy, despite some uptight shift leads at the moment, I love being a pizza delivery driver for rent money.
That’s partly why he is so good.
That kit just got absolutely sacrificed to Sleep. Grayson gave it 100. Such a weapon. Full noise and full respect.
They don’t call him Greyson “Pretty Close” Nekrutman for nothing… Great drummer!
Dude, his double bass patterns were absolutely bonkers... I could easily listen to this version of the song in the gym
They were crazy. I dare say even more complex kick sequences than the original (not degrading the original by any means).
@MDamage2098 speaking as an extremely average (below so really haha) amateur drummer, I feel he was doing the same thing I do and trying to almost be more complex cause you think "surely it can't be that simple." But so many songs are way 'simpler' (comparatively of course) than what it seems like even an amazing drummer such as him might think.
I actually liked his version better. This and Will Ramos vocal covers make Sleep Token better for me.
He was playing “double bass” with one foot, n’est-ce pas?
@@ElasticTurtleIt's true. As someone who's drummed basically all genres for the better part of 8 years now, I can confidently say that most songs are actually more interesting than difficult.
Of course there are difficult songs in every main genre. However, there are also some subtly difficult parts to songs that are not tough drumming songs but it's those little parts that make you go "Oh that was interesting" or "huh that's kinda tough actually." And more often than not that's in the metal genres that I've had to stop and do those parts my own way.
Hearing it without the drums really shows you how important ii is to the bands sound and groove
Yeah like vessel does a fantastic job writing the guitar, bass and vocals but it wouldn't work at all without II writing all the drums for every song, I wouldn't be surprised if he helped with the guitar and bass too
(And before anyone yells at me, III and IV are touring members, only vessel and II are credited for songs)
Well drums is the heart of all songs, drums are the very thing that keeps the song intact. Sure you can memorize the guitar chords and timing without drums, but it'll always sound off without drums.
As a kid, that was something I got to learn very quickly in the group I was in.
Did anyone doubt that? I think everyone agrees that drummers are essential
@anno222 I was making a statement from how it sounds from my perspective. Go be be a dick somewhere else
@@anno222yeah, thst kinda like sayi g smth about necessary of food, lil
I'd never heard of Greyson before, but im a huge fan now! Great attitude, super talented and handled the challenge like a pro! So badass :)
I don't know this tune at all, but I think making Greyson angry and off-balance really helped how he interpreted the drum part. The music calls for undisciplined edginess, which Greyson delivered in spades, although in the practice room I bet he's the most disciplined player alive. I love an emotional performance, and I certainly got one here!
WILD how Greyson does so much hi hat work in the verse having not heard the song, given that II is constantly using the hats in the verses. Insane
Maybe they're pulling a fast one, and Greyson actually is II
It's not that surprising, especially if you understand music theory.
@@jhamilton1007ya there isn’t anything he hasn’t seen at this point.
@@BodomChild20maybe he was just acting confused to keep up the cover
@@jhamilton1007what does music theory have anything to do with adding more hihats
I was wondering why he was sweating so hard after the first take, then I watched the final take. Dude is ALL gas. I loved it
Have you seen any of his jazz videos? He quite possibly could do for jazz what SRV did for blues
@@thenewfire I’ve definitely been fed some of his TikTok/Reels content on social, but never really followed his music or anything.
Watch the video once more and focus solely on Greyson's hi-hats. It's like he speaks through them, there's a level of expression in his strikes. Mesmerizing as always!
This is one of the best.. this and Dirk Venburen’s Mr Brightside. Love the way they both have a process. Just CRAZY outstanding drummers.
I was most impressed with Chad Smith nailing it on his first take but I think I like this better. He absolutely killed it.
This was so good. It's crazy how self-conscious a talented drummer like Greyson can get just knowing that there is an existing drum track he's trying to "live up to." At any rate, he killed it.
If you watch the one with the drummer from Megadeth, he's so self-conscious and is like nervous laughing at the end apologizing if it was bad. And it was goddamn amazing. Nice to know even extremely talented people can be nervous or self-conscious about their work and just power through
@@chacehorsman2615 This is true for many people who have mastered some craft or are specialists in their field. In my experience, these very people are much more humble in their field because they know the incredibly long way they had to go before.
I find this video series really impressive, such talented people, true masters of their art.
How could you even become a master if you're not self-conscious? You kinda need that so you know how you need to improve. Being too hard on yourself is a different matter, though.
@@Felms99 yeah its some sort of dunning-kruger effect where they're so good that they realize how much more they could be doing.
Like all perfectionists do. They are so masochistic.
Those drums will NEVER steal Money from him Again... holy hell dude is a Beast
They'll show up if he calls them at midnight.
He joined Sepultura now
My jaw dropped many times during this video. Idk even who this dude is but I’m about to look him up and listen to his music. This is absolutely insane. Double bass on POINT, I’m even getting chills listening as I’m writing this.
This is legit one of the best videos on the channel I’ve watched. Grayson just got into it, and pushed it so hard I couldn’t turn away. Unbelievable!! What a legend
I love how this cat started off as a strictly jazz dude, and here he is coming up with all the intricate double kick patterns for a cover that's not even that heavy. Great series.
they definitely couldve picked a better sleep token song
and now he's the drummer for suicidal tendencies i read.
I LOVED the double kick
@@blakearya7522 For real, it was way meatier than the original, I actually preferred his style over the original.
#gcfvk First thought you were trolling haha. But fr this guy Hits so Hard, it feels like a waste to Not have him play Harder stuff.
I think you guys don’t realize the amount of talent in that man. This is disgustingly impressive
also 8,9 hours of playing daily
Then explane it two we ignant peeps, pleez.
HUGE Talent, no doubt!
@@roberto2568That explains the wrist pain 😅
Pretty damn average if you ask me
It’s actually so cool that he nailed right away how important the hi hat groove is to the song, that was one of the distinguishing features of the original drum performance
Incredible band, I'm glad they are blowing up this past year
I would love a refined, clean version of this. It's such a different feel to the original. It's fucking sick.
With ya homie domie !!!!
kind of a shame you couldn't buy a copy of this track. would be blasting it driving down the road.
definitely, the double bass he adds in sounds so good with the rest of the band and adds a whole bunch more energy to the track
@@take.a.deep.breath.my.friend that section is so tasty. makes me wish I had the talent and resources to get a kit to play. so awesome sounding. his play on the think it is a high hat is really cool as well.
It’s too driving and in front of the meter. Obnoxious basically
I'm not even a drummer, but I still find it interesting and enjoyable to watch these videos. I'm amazed how drummers are able to recreate these rhythm parts afterwards, and how the sometimes fall really close to this original ones ! Kudos guys !
Same. I feel like drumming would be so hard.
You gotta be part octopus I think.
Same here, I'm a mid 40s RN. I recently started watching these. LOVE THEM.
@@JanoyCresva the hardest part of drumming i learning to control your limbs, at first it can be hard to get your two hands doing one thing and your feet doing something else. But once you get control of the body drumming is actually easier than most instruments as long as you can hold a beat because unlike other instruments you don't have to memorize notes and crap, you can improvise the entire song as long as you keep it in the right time.
unless a drummer is insane (tool, animals as leaders), the drum parts will typically fall under a fairly predictable vocabulary
This is absolutely outrageous, phew. He really deeply understood the structure of the song and brought his own energy to it. I’m grinning
The song is so intricately written and so unique I understand why he had a hard time adapting. Vessel and II compose for them as musicians. Intepreting a song by Sleep Token can be hard. The give out will be yours. He did really good as I said and gabe the song a whole new flavour.
His eyes lighting up when he realizes that he did well is awesome
You don’t give this song to a drummer who can’t handle it. Dude is a fucking animal
You're wrong Greyson. This video wasn't embarrassing. Loved it!
@darkmetal825I think I might like Greyson’s version better than II’s. He puts so much more feeling into it! II isn’t bad, but man this rendition slaps.
@darkmetal825lmao. If this is sarcasm you should make it clearer.
@@jonathanthedeceptikonseriously? That's insane in my opinion. I think there is no feeling in his playthrough. It's overplayed and it takes all the feels out for me. I actually thought he was sounding promising in the final takes leading up to the playthrough, but I was ready to skip the playthrough after a while. I did end up listening to it though.
@@alexkulp9727to be fair, this is what he came up with just after tinkering for one or two hours while having no emotional context to anything that's happening musically other than what he's feeling while recording this video. Obviously this is going to be very different from the original which is meticulously composed
@darkmetal825 what a crybaby. bro probably cant even play drums and is making fun of a beast of a drummer. such a sad life
Dude absolutley killed himself trying to get the parts down the way he thought they'd work. What a beast.
I’ve never had drums bring me to tears before 🥲 the emotion radiates through the screen. While similar, his rendition brings out a whole different emotion to the song
This dude needs to be a metal session drummer, like right now. That was incredible
I guess hes officially in Suicidal Tendencies?
@@LintBisquick
Yeah, he needs to be _INSTITUTIONALIZED!_
Hear hear!!!
@@LintBisquick yaap when i search his name, his channel upload drumcam with Suicidal Tendencies. That was great!!
I'd actually never heard Sleep Token before this, and now I've had them on repeat for the past couple of days. "Take Me Back To Eden" has especially been great to listen to.
Welcome to the cult of Worship haha.
I got hung up on that song for ages too!!
Check out Alkaline, awesome song and brilliant music video too!
One of my friends showed me take me back to Eden and granite. I’ve been hooked since
That's about to be me right now
Make sure you listen to all 3 albums and really pay attention. You’ll be blown away but how it all plays together
Im so happy at this moment having this wonderful younger drummer playing Sepultura. Hes insane. One more drummer being a star. Greetings from Brazil
Only discovered Sleep Token now with Drumeo so connection to the actual song songs but my word it sounds like he has been a member of this band for years. What a performer, my word!
That was intense!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ok I am talking on behalf of everyone else, WE ABSOLUTLY NEED ANOTHER SESSION WITH THIS AMAZING TALENTED MUSICIAN !
I'd love to hear him do some he is legend or Everytime I die or dillinger escape plan.
AGREE. This is about the Best series on UA-cam. How is this even possible.
I second this motion!!!
@@ScandalCuracaoIf it isn't the best on UA-cam, it's pretty close
He's as good using traditional grip, too!
Greyson clearly knows metal and metal drumming, but it's crazy how much his "hybrid jazz" style playing already fits into what the new era of metal drummers are currently doing
Metal has a lot of influence from Blues and Jazz so it's unsurprising that he can grasp the concepts easily
@@lainahtan13 wait where do i learn more abt the influences bc this sounds so fun to learn abt
are there any video essays abt it or somethign
@@coryyori6630 try the Metal Evolution series.
ua-cam.com/video/tAXdMCTLboc/v-deo.html
It is a 12 episode docu show about the beginnings of metal and about the main genres.
That, as I just said elsewhere, goes back to the progressive elements of metal in the 90s. They looked back to a number of influences in the 70s from prog rock and jazz, or in the case of people like Igor from Sepultura, even Latin music.
Heck, I'd love to see Greyson's deep cuts dive into metal before he leaves ST and gets into a prog jazz/metal supergroup that is the modern take on Mahavishnu Orchestra.
@@coryyori6630same!!
HE KILLED THISS!! 💛😧 love love love his interpretation .. absolutely incredible
I love this!
Greyson’s understanding of technique and then applying his own vision is just such a delight to see
Say what you will about his version in doubletime, but man's internal metronome is on point
His timing is pretty shit
He IS a metronome
As a piano player, that's what got me. I consider myself very on time, but that was bloody phenomenal.
Don’t worry Greyson UA-cam does not think you suck lol YOU ARE A LEGEND!
😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊😮🎉😢😮🎉😮
Really admire that double bass work. Phenomenal performance!!! Absolutely superb!!!
what an insanely talented drummer, wow Greyson, I love your playing!
The double bass is actually hypnotizing. He made the hypnotizing part of the song actually hypnotize, damnnn
Was in a trance
I don't care what anyone says. As a guitarist of nearly 30 years,......being dropped into a situation thats completely out of your comfort zone will absolutely make you a better musician. It creates a resilience in you that allows you to cover mistakes and mishaps on the fly without freaking out. The plaid pants help as well. Great job brother. Very difficult.
haha was thing the same! the plaid pants makes him instant a 5% better drummer
cool story bro
“I don’t care what anyone says” Nobody would ever argue with that lol
The flow and interpretation, what a journey! Loving double bass drumming so much, added another layer of possibilities here!
This is incredible. That sped up tempo gave the song a completely different vibe.
tempo didn't change though, the frequency of the snare did, he did full time instead of half time
@@darkmetal825snowflake triggered as usual
@@darkmetal825 what a crybaby. bro probably cant even play drums and is making fun of a beast of a drummer. such a sad life
@@maximuslongrod6361 I’m not musically literate so thanks for the clarification lol.
@@darkmetal825GaRbAgE vIbE 😂 who hurt you bruh ?
As musicians, everyone hits a wall or a learning curve that feels impossible in the moment. It's inspiring to see how Greyson handled the uncomfortable experience.
Can we get II in there to play a Grayson drum solo?
The bridge and the breakdown were SO good! Like, I love the heaviness and momentary confusion from the original, but that was a brilliant interpretation!
Greyson’s kinda adorable 😁
Always blows me away that you can just listen to something so briefly with out any benchmark and have something so professional come out. Well played.
I love the double time he did. It’s crazy how both versions sound “right”.
not at all
It's because they're both right!
It was pretty close
You killed it Greyson. You embraced the stress and pushed yourself farther than you thought you could. It was really cool watching you grow in this
Lone Survivor??
I really enjoyed that. I love that Greyson cares so much, that's the secret sauce for me here. Yes his playing is amazing and the setup and sound is great, but the thing that will bring me back again is seeing someone try as hard as they can at something they care about. Awesome.
He doesn't need to try that hard, he's a famous drummer in his own right in another field. But give him a challenge and he can't help himself!
This was so much fun to watch. I would love to see more of this!!!! That was fantastic.
I’m a simple man, I see Greyson and Sleep Token, I tune in
I just saw Greyson and i clicked
Either one alone works, but this is even better.
Greyson Nekrutman: II II (Pronounced "Two, the Second") confirmed.
@@_.gray._this made me chuckle. Two, the Second 💀💀
Its so crazy how the drums give the song a completly different vibe
Dude hits HARD, man... wow!
Very intuitive!
Excellent takes!
That verse beat you had going is just class! The entire jam was solid man! This was great
I loved watching him realize that he did great when he heard the full song.
There is something really cool about seeing somebody who’s immensely talented/skilled still being both nervous and proud when they get taken out of their comfort zone and absolutely crushing it.
I love these blind sessions. You hear new beats to your favourite songs and you totally love it in a new light!
This channel has introduced me to a lot of banda I've never heard of. Including sleep token. Amazing music.
Having to learn this without II's track is wild. MAJOR props to him for picking out the intricacies, and the hi-hat work.
he didn’t learn shit lmao. all intuition
@darkmetal825 what a crybaby. bro probably cant even play drums and is making fun of a beast of a drummer. such a sad life
@darkmetal825you going to every comment that praises Greyson to tear him down is beyond pathetic. Touch some grass.
@darkmetal825that’s… the point of this series?
I’m not even a drummer, but this is some of the most enjoyable music content on UA-cam by FAR! Much love from a guitar player from Norway 🇳🇴
Same. I wish they would upload them more often.
That kit sounds amazing and phenomenal drumming as well!
This is amazing holy shit. I dont know the first thing about drumming but im just blown away this dude is so talented and passionate!!!
Greyson absolutely murdered the track. Tbh i prefer his interpretation more than the original... a jazz drummer?? Boy went hard AF! Hats off to you sir
Way better than the original one!
It was really good and impressive but let’s relax a little lol
@@Metr0Ciityno shit lol
Jazz drummers go hard like that
Jazz isn't "light" music. It's just not the same as metal.
I think Grayson did a great job. His definitely had a more punk type feel to it than the original, but he nailed it.
Yeah his version felt way faster. I reckon if he just like, took out half the highhats and a bunch of the double kicks he would have been really close!
He's on tour with Suicidal Tendencies :)
@@deadfox03 yep, was about to say the same thing i can see a few ST influences coming out.
That was insane Greyson! Hell yea, that is absolutely mind blowing. Thank you!
With great technique, comes great power! Amazying performance!
Holy crap. His range of motion is insane, and soooo creative. I didn't even know he played non-jazz stuff. Absolute legend and still just a baby.
He's currently playing with suicidal tendencies. Dude can play anything.
@@Mr_jz_12 Wild, didn't know that, thanks for letting me know dude, rock on!
Right?! I mostly knew him as a jazz drummer myself, but he now plays for Suicidal Tendencies of all bands! He's just a world class musician through and through.
@@Mr_jz_12Him and Ben Weinman are in the same band now?? That’s so sick!
Being proficient at jazz kinda lends itself to being able to play a plethora of modern music, considering so much of modern music evolved out of jazz. Yeah techniques have changed a lot but not as much as some may think.
That kick pattern starting at ~7:49 is just lovely.
i love his interpretation! sounded so good! i think my favorite part about his version was easily his double bass. added a ton of texture that was so cool.
Damn this kid is a phenom! I can relate to his perfectionism & the frustration in trying the impossible in playing a song he's never heard as written. I love these videos as you learn so much about the process & personality of the drummers when put under this type of fun pressure.
He killed the double bass pedals... I didn't know who this Greyson guy was going into the video, but I'm officially a fan now.
Greyson is such a good actor. He is Two from Sleep Token and just pretends not to know :)
Dude you did an amazing job!!!
Holy moly, that was sick as hell. Wow.
Breakdown was especially inspired.
GREAT job.... Greyson did basically a "double-time" interpretation of the song.... and it fit quite well. It gave the song a whole different feel...
the double bass work at the end of his take was OUTRAGEOUS. So awesome!
he was hitting doubles on both drums for so long! that was crazy
This series helps me remember that people are pretty amazing sometimes. Thanks drumeo. Best yt series ever
Damn man you are a legend on the drums! Incredible - showing skill, experience and love for the music
Oh, I can feel bad for any drummer who has to play Sleep Token’s songs for the very first time. But Greyson was incredible. Yes, he was too concentrated, and went through some struggles hah. But I amazed by his effort. He’s so talented. And yeah..that was pretty close hah. Thanks for the great content!
It was actually super close, the only thing that was really different was he did it in double time
Why is that?
By the songs I've just heard, it's SUPER, but really super BASIC drums. Especially for a guy who comes from a jazz background like Greyson.
The dudes so humble too
@@trfbassman902actually, the original is played with a half-time feel … Grayson is playing regular time
@@dougmorato the drums are harder to play than they sound usually. It's pretty straightforward but super intricate
My man killed that. I've never heard of him before and have 100% props and respect
Grayson is insane, incredibly talented
Watch him play jazz. It’s insane.
I am actually blown away and so glad I found Greyson!!!
Wow! The energy! Loved it. Greyson is a beast!
This is awesome. I'm a huge Sleep Token fan and didn't expect something like this. Greyson's drum arrangement was really cool to hear. Made the song feel totally different and not in a bad way. Way to go!
made it feel very like, nu-metal, a little thrashy, but very in line with some of the early 00s greats like Linkin Park with that breakbeat style.
