i hate to comment but have some of you ever heard of a gate? if you want a snare to sound like this with no moongel it needs AGGRESSIVE processing. why would this be faked? why would one of the fastest growing bands still keep a drummer that couldn't play relatively basic (albeit very good) stuff well enough to record a video live? furthermore there's NO REASON to suspect this is fake, there's nothing inhuman happening?!
it could still be fake, but ultimately its a waste of everyone's time to even discuss if it is, go watch some of the 100000 fake metalcore drummers instead
Ask Mr lever himself I'm sure he'd love to podcast with you ! I feel like the snare is just heavily compressed and then augmented with Room samples Or room gate expender trick ...
Noise gates are used in every style of music, in every setting imaginable any time a PA system is used. Stadiums, coffee houses, the seafood shack that has cover bands on weekends... If someone is using a PA, they are using a noise gate. Including every natty reference drummer on the planet.
Nap Voucher 😂 I can't stop laughing at this video. Vessel II is a great drummer, saw Sleep Token live about 3 weeks ago and have seen Vessel II's solo videos on YT. They're amazing to see live, Vessel I is one of my favourite vocalists. I just love them.
I showed the Hypnosis drum video to my drum teacher and he was moved to tears. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the guy as moved as he was that day. Sleep Token is an absurdly talented group.
I love watching videos of this song live because for whatever reason he hits the snare so hard during the ending that you can hear it echo off the walls of the venue and its beautiful.
Commented the same thing on the recent drumeo one. It's so pleasing to see a not gridded video of a metal kind of drummer. This guy sounds so pleasing to listen to. Really kills it live too. Well in lad.
This song is so heavily influenced by the white pony days of deftones. It’s a good thing in my opinion and the snare is totally in the same tone vein as Abe Cunningham.
George is known for using ridiculously tight gates on his drums. Sleep Token is probably the most drastic example, where Loathe is a bit more laid back. You can hear the same snare sound in Kubrick's songs.
I asked dw drums, what kind of snare head he does use ( G2 Evans was the answer) the cymbal he uses are worth between 2'500-3000 USD... overall his setup is a high level priced kit but sounds awesome.... this dude was a drum teacher before ;)
I saw a post on UK Touring FB Page that mentioned how incredible the lighting and audio production was at the O2 arena. So, I started listening to them properly and my goodness these guys are brilliant. Next show in London, IM THERE!!!
@@theopinson3851 Yeah that kid has a great sound but it's mostly triggers. His snare and kick are forsure triggers but not sure about his toms but I would imagine they are.
Well that was fun. Hi Craig!! Can you check out the drum playthrough for the song exercises in futility by mgla? Sick cymbal work, not a drummer, but I can tell that much.
I would trade my soul to be in a band with as much mystery, lore and intensity as Sleep Token... I always wonder how they managed to start... Imagine being a local band with complete anonymity... I must have been near impossible unless they started fresh out the gate with some kind of deal... Which I guess helped the rumors that they are well known for other things..
The bassist is from holding absence, I'm pretty sure a member of loathe was something to do with it as well seen as they're signed to the same label / always on similar line ups with holding absence and neither ever clash with sleep token. To me it's safe to say they're a super group.
@@dkorody81 I use the term super group in the context of a band made up by people originally in other bands. Who are they then? I read the singer is some guy called Leo but I'm not sure about the drummer.
This is a brady block snare, doesnt need moon jel generally for dampening. The wood itself is extremely hard and were only manufacturerd in Australia (I beleieve this one is made is Jarra block) - theyre incredible drums at a really high cost, worth it for the sound though!
The playthrough of Hypnosis is so solid and controlled. I love the creativity that the drummer gets space to add in the playthrough of Alkaline between 2:00 and 3:00 are something to aspire to.
If you crank the underhead of the snare you can get rid of a lot of ring, i think it sounds quite legit and on the other hand he could have remove the FQ in the mix.
Since you brought it to our attention, on the shots looking down there's only one moongel on the 10inch, instead of the four we see from the throne. Anyone else catch that?
Maybe so, Though not really confirmed anywhere but Apple Music "credits", Which aren't always a reliable source. Nonetheless III and IV are phenomenal musicians. If they're not involved in writing for ST maybe they write for other things.
Want a super dry snare with no moon gels or o rings? Put very thin cheese cloth(or any very thin fabric. Gauze, thin silk w/e) on the bearing edge before you put your main batter head on. Pull the cloth tight right before the head gets too tight to move the cloth. After that? Tune as usual. Dryest snare you will ever hear.. Won't noticeably change tone or tuning. I personally prefer covering the entire diameter. But you can use narrower strips if it's too dry. I have one snare with batter and reso head covered, one with just batter and one with a 6" wide cloth strip on the batter side.
Right?! Dude talks too much….too caught up in stuff that doesn’t matter to enjoy that masterpiece. Was he still saying stupid shit at the end? Bet he was, couldn’t make it that far.
From the looks of the thing (and sound) it must have a ton of built in dampening. Pretty sure that’s the deal with the inner ring but I haven’t seen that head before. Kind of like a Powerstroke.
I mean it's obvious that the video is multiple takes and Craig literally says that it's audio from one of the takes so yeah the video won't match up sometimes 🤷♂️🤷♂️ are you just sad that Craig didn't needlessly call the drummer a prick?
Well so called Renlord- this is clearly you in a mask going for a double nomination bid. Cool idea and means we dont have to see your gurning. Double opportunities for sponsorship too.

The gate cut is indeed sneaky, but nonetheless is a good play through

Just watch any of his other play throughs he is a god
No samples babe. Just doing the thing yknow. x
The legend himself is here!
The man has spoken
didn’t doubt it, crazy how dry that snare is. GG brooo
@Jake Naftz would like a word bossman ...
Beautiful
His snare drums make me think he was heavily influenced by Abe Cunningham from Deftones. Which is amazing.
Same thought
The whole band has a Deftones vibe if taken to some sort of pop/djent extreme.
The opening to their song “Gods” is 100% inspired by “Goon Squad”
100%, this band has a lot of Deftones and Muse throughout
He confirmed this in the drumeo vid today - great pull!
Band deserves all the success they get. Fucking unreal. Every song off the new album is amazing.
Dogshit band actually
That snare rips. I've heard this band in random playlists, but it's cool to hear a really solid drummer is underneath all of that.
Snare sounds like thousands of other snares before it. You just started listening to music yesterday, yeah?
@@heavyswing a few examples? Genuinely curious.
The moon gel is probably for a cleaner recording sound. He don't use that much playing live.

Homie cried over this? The playing is rad, but man, the dude must be crying constantly if he cried to this.
@@BurnTheNuance thinking the same thing lol
@@BurnTheNuance he must have had serious depression if he ever watch an El Estepario Siberiano video.
Fake story.
He cried cos he’s 2
If George Lever mixed this, it explains how epic it sounds. Their new album is beautifully engineered and mixed.
One of the best actual drummers from one of the best bands of the last decade. A monster.
fuuuucking hell 🤦♂️
@@deadsoulxiii ?
meh.
I literally had to see 5 seconds of the technique, and then the rug. 😂🤣😂🤣
@@natronbetticus bad taste
Sleep Token givens me Deftones meets Leprous/Arcane Roots vibes, and I love those three bands, so I’m really digging Sleep Token.
I love watching videos of this song live because for whatever reason he hits the snare so hard during the ending that you can hear it echo off the walls of the venue and its beautiful.
I saw them live last year, I'm pretty sure the sound guy cranks the snare and adds reverb for the ending. Makes it sound huge!
They’re called snare bombs. They use effects for specific snare hits particularly in breakdowns and whatnot
Commented the same thing on the recent drumeo one. It's so pleasing to see a not gridded video of a metal kind of drummer. This guy sounds so pleasing to listen to. Really kills it live too. Well in lad.
The snare II is using come from Perth in Western Aus! It’s actually one whole piece from a hollowed out log.
Red Rock drums? Or Brady?
High chance this man is reacting to himself. We're onto you, Craig.
The hands and nose kinda look like they line up.
@@loganend8185 Don't go telling people this stuff. No one wants to know. Keep it private.
@@Treggify I reported his comment lol
It’s Adam Pedder
you have the best eyebrows in metal
Kyle Brownlee would like a word
Thats quite an honor
For real though
This song is so heavily influenced by the white pony days of deftones. It’s a good thing in my opinion and the snare is totally in the same tone vein as Abe Cunningham.
I thought this exact same thing! Like literally
You definitely know your shit, because he confirmed all of this on his recent Drumeo video
4 moon gels? that's insane.
not as insane as 4 naan's

You can hear the same snare sound in Kubrick's songs.
'It would fun to be in a band like that' I feel like you'd give up your identity within a few weeks
day one leaked on twitch
“Oh this is why everyone’s trying to get me to watch it” 5:10 😂😂 you’re killin’ me

You had me dying at the moon gels part!
tbh the biggest reason i fell in love with sleep token is that the drummers symbal work sounds a heck of a lot like Chris Adler.
It ain't if you want a name hmu
This drummer has more gospel chops then anything which is cool . I dig it
I saw a post on UK Touring FB Page that mentioned how incredible the lighting and audio production was at the O2 arena. So, I started listening to them properly and my goodness these guys are brilliant. Next show in London, IM THERE!!!
nap voucher is the funniest fucking thing.
i think that snare sound is the best sounding snare to come out of the metal genre in many years
I would say it's pretty close to Thomas Haakes snare sound.
TBH I’m really digging the drum sounds on the newest Spiritbox stuff, especially the snare.
@@theopinson3851 Yeah that kid has a great sound but it's mostly triggers. His snare and kick are forsure triggers but not sure about his toms but I would imagine they are.
@@theopinson3851 it's Def not bad but it's not unique it's a ggd snare
@@tylerkennedy4203 doesn’t surprise me that there’s some samples in there, but are you sure it’s 100%?
Remo P77 crankedddd can make almost any snare sound like that
Saw them live like 3-4 weeks ago, II's legit. Very legit.
Love a bit of Slumber Coupon
Love them, my life changed when I discovered Rest Certificate
Yeh i love doze ticket too man
I just discovered this channel today and this dude is hilarious I love it.
Well that was fun.
Hi Craig!!
Can you check out the drum playthrough for the song exercises in futility by mgla? Sick cymbal work, not a drummer, but I can tell that much.
Darkside is a beast on the kit.
Love all the double ride parts on that track.
This drummer and the song the offering inspired me to start playing drums! Much love from a Tama player
Drummers can only dream of being as good as II.
Dude is a beast.
That snare is absolutely insane
Also the camera was probably more 2-2.8, 1.4 we wouldn't see those candles at all I reckon!
I wanted at least 10 more minutes talking about the moon gels 😄
II is a beast! You should check out more of theirs they’re my favourite band ever! Vessels voice is amazing 🖤

To be fair. What you guessed the singer was doing at that point in the song, wasn't far off!
That made me laugh, he got the vibe down in one.
Been listening to Sleep Token since their first EP. Absolutely fucking unreal band. Glad they're getting recognition they deserve
You remind me of a metal Gordon Ramsey, in a good way
The playthrough of Hypnosis is so solid and controlled. I love the creativity that the drummer gets space to add in the playthrough of Alkaline between 2:00 and 3:00 are something to aspire to.
"Mask Quality: You can rob a bank in that, you could also be a super villain 👍"
The added vocals were on point craig
They sounded weirdly in key and everything LOL
If you crank the underhead of the snare you can get rid of a lot of ring, i think it sounds quite legit and on the other hand he could have remove the FQ in the mix.
Oh you know who they are.. they was chillin in the crowd at a show before their set
Nap Voucher got me LAUGHING bro
But the snare! I love it because it resembles deftones. I think vessel got some inspiration from deftones also by the way of playing. Hughe fan!
This title is a contender for your best one Craig
Fuckin’ Craig!!!!! 😂😂😂Bro, you seriously cheer me up every time I watch one of your videos! The Moon Gel pause had me in tears my bro!! Love ya man!!
This is my first time to hear this band after knowing OF the name and seeing pictures…. Not at all what I expected. Pretty wild. Snare is FUEGO
Since you brought it to our attention, on the shots looking down there's only one moongel on the 10inch, instead of the four we see from the throne. Anyone else catch that?
these guys are awesome live!
You should ask your sound tech for a cymbal list, really want to get those splashes!
The drummer and Vessel are the only songwriters in Sleep Token
Maybe so, Though not really confirmed anywhere but Apple Music "credits", Which aren't always a reliable source.
Nonetheless III and IV are phenomenal musicians. If they're not involved in writing for ST maybe they write for other things.
@@BLeeFAFO and the true beauty is you'll never know what else they've written

"I don't want the algorithm to squish me."
1 minute later - "Squish me harder. 😉"
He's soo clean
3:42- likes snare
9:52- stops liking the snare
*Really awesome drummer rocking the shit out of the drums*
Craig: _but the gels!!_
Drummer:🤷♂️
Right?! Dude talks too much….too caught up in stuff that doesn’t matter to enjoy that masterpiece. Was he still saying stupid shit at the end? Bet he was, couldn’t make it that far.
I’m sending this a year later.. just some lads… eat your words mate 😂😂they are talented, genius& brilliant
WORSHIP❤
I started dying when you faked your satanic hand movements at the end.
If I didn't know any better I would have thought this was an advertisement for a moongel alternative
Yea I don't know much about drums but ii is cool as fuck tbf
Didn't know that the scream pt 9 killer played drums on his day off 🤔
Rewatching and only noticing the Jupiter gel joke now 😂 fucking funny
I really like the istanbul cymbals. Definitely on par with meinl for sure
Shout out Through Silver in Blood at the end. Best album ever
I come for the word play, I stay for the drums
Love this band and the drummer is awesome! Melodic AF! This guy and Silent Planet's Alex Camanera are my favorite drummers 🤘🤘🤘
10:36 OH F**K I didnt know i was gonna get jump scared in this reaction! hahahah thanks reynolds!
From the looks of the thing (and sound) it must have a ton of built in dampening. Pretty sure that’s the deal with the inner ring but I haven’t seen that head before. Kind of like a Powerstroke.
I’m kinda convinced he’s Delta Empire🤷♂️
I think it would be very hard to replace this drummer .. i love playing this song on my electric drums .. incredible song
I feel like they’d have to get Chris Turner.
4 naan jeremy, 4? That's insane
NAP VOUCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day bro!
Nap Voucher should be the actual name of this band. Hilarious title.
Is the reaction in the room with us? Nothing outside a kit review
7:51 hits the snare but no sound. What is being played from 7:48 - 7:52 is not the audio from the video.
Nah, those are obviously ghost notes , and he’s playing what the audio is in the section you mentioned?
the recorded the video separate from the audio bc it happens at 2:49 and 4:40 also
well at 2:49 i'm talking and a 4:40 is one of the timing inconsistencies that makes me think it's natural soooo
I mean it's obvious that the video is multiple takes and Craig literally says that it's audio from one of the takes so yeah the video won't match up sometimes 🤷♂️🤷♂️ are you just sad that Craig didn't needlessly call the drummer a prick?
I just realized nap voucher 😂😂
Well so called Renlord- this is clearly you in a mask going for a double nomination bid. Cool idea and means we dont have to see your gurning. Double opportunities for sponsorship too.
4:50 not natty
I loveeee how raw those drums sound
I know that could be strange but i think that the sound of the snare is influenced by Gavin Harrison
Would love to see your review of Matt Halpern's Drum Playthrough of Satellites by Periphery
This title.. is so good xD
4:57, Meinl's breaking point
Drummer name is Adam Pedder
I just realized Drumeo… that’s why he seems familiar
Honestly kinda sounds like they used a room mic for the mix on the snare. That or they just compressed the fuck out of it
Your new shit is deadly.. Keep em coming!
Don’t they have names? I thought they did like vessel and iii etc
10:00 lmfao
You should do a reaction to the drum playthrough of Arrivals by Night Verses!
Was waiting for you to notice those moongels... god damn!!!!
