Too true man. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pulled to a drummer like ii over the 20 years I’ve been playing. Love his fills. Has a gospel chop vibe for sure
I always knew drummers lived on a whole other plane of existence, but this completely elevated my appreciation for the craft to a whole new level. Wish other bands did this too! II seems so calm and non chalant about the whole thing, dude just made love to those drums and then tucked them in to bed with a warm glass of milk!
I've become a HUGE fan of Sleep Token in the past month and this drummer is on another level. Can't wait to see you hear some of their other songs (I'd recommend one but they're all good) And as always, your edits are elite bro, keep it up!
He IS the drum kit. II is like a spider in a net full of drums. Sorry, bad analogy, but my brain runs out of my ears when I watch him. It is mesmerizing. And that moment when he STOPS the cymbals!!!!! 😲
The dude's groove is the same as a classical painist, but with a super heavy song. That's how you can tell he has become a part of the music, not just playing it.
Real pro drummer here. It’s hard to say if it was a mistake, or just a flourish of some type, he added. I mean most drummers never play a song live the exact same they play it in a studio, or for a recording. There were several mistakes, but no human being, or musician, no matter how skilled, are always flawless.
There’s so many more to get into 😍 Telomeres is one of my favorites. There’s the offering as well, Jaws, Bloodsport, Higher, High Water, Calcutta. All amazing songs just a bit older than the recent releases. All amazing!!
It's all intentional. I feel like this man wrote out the track with all of the beats in places you would expect them to be and where they belong, then he flipped a switch that just does the opposite and recorded that part
I’ve been watching your reactions to sleep token and I have to say you really need to check out the vocal covers that Will Ramos does of hypnosis and chokehold.
Not a fan of your screen being twice the size of the guy actually playing the song. I can barely see what he is doing and I don’t care that much about seeing your facial expressions and head nodding.
You just described a reaction video. People who watch reaction videos expect to see the person reacting to their favorite song or video. If you want to enjoy the actual video that I am watching the screen without me in it, you can watch the original video.
@@TheOneLTReacts I’m sorry you can’t comprehend what I’m saying. I want to be able to see what the drummer is doing while hearing the reaction/thoughts of the reactor.
People with little to no experience with drumming will never know how insane this actually is😅 I absolutely adore how he "paints" the crash
Yeah, that’s it for me. It just accents how graceful he is despite the fierceness and conviction.
He's so freaking good.
Strokey strokey casual and crisp.
Too true man. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pulled to a drummer like ii over the 20 years I’ve been playing. Love his fills. Has a gospel chop vibe for sure
Everything he does intentionally. His accents and tasty chops along with his playing with silence is mesmerizing. He know how to use the void
It's the way he stays so RELAXED the whole time for me 😩 II is so good
He looks SOOOO casual the whole time it's insane

... and cookies. LOL
Dude is doing snare rolls all day with one hand. One of the better drummers in current music for sure.
II is an insane drummer! He’s just won multiple awards as well 🖤
I can see why
ii is a gosh darn genius with his drum writing and beats and everything! he is so mesmerizing to watch. love him
He would never make an offering with out perfection. It was intentional.
You're reactions are great, man. love the content. II is just a top-tier musician. Sleep Token is really taking over the world.
As a drummer, theres only a handful of this mans songs I would even attempt to play, this is not one of them
This Drummer is NUTS. So chilled, precice and creative. And the Set sounds SOOOO good.
He makes it look so bloody effortless!! Genius Worship❤
II’s fills are crispier than a perfectly cooked potato chip! He plays so tastefully busy but every hit is exactly where it’s supposed to be.
“Tastefully busy…” that’s an excellent way to describe it. The feel is undeniable.
II is so amazing 😩🙌🏻

II is so smooth. It's almost like painting on canvas with smooth but powerful strokes
His work on the hat is tastey. Snare punches like mule.
I'd love to see some lights on his drumsticks and just watch the tracers. 😵💫
That would be awesome!!!
This guy is unreal!🙌🏽🙌🏽
Best drummer.
Ever!!!
The double symbol choke in the breakdown is the sexiest piece of drumming 😍
I believe it was after this video that II started choking those hits live - I saw them live and that section was nearly identical!

There was no mess up brother that was just his insanity creating life and passion
What a beastly good drummer god damn

Now that's a good list of songs.

Check out ii's Drumeo interview if you haven't already. It's the first interview from anyone in the band. It's fascinating.
Him and Ashton Irwin today’s best drummers
Fav drummer of all time!!!
Good content man
Thank you! Welcome to the channel.
I’ve been watching your reactions to sleep token and I have to say you really need to check out the vocal covers that Will Ramos does of hypnosis and chokehold.
as a drummer no it was intentional he didn't mess up
His cymbal work is some of the best I've heard. Damn.
watch his hour long Drumeo interview/playthru hes badass.
II does not mess up lmao
All intentional man, he its playing with triplets so sometimes feels like he its desplacing tempo, but its acctualy on it. Real drummer answer
He's got another drum vid too
Dude is so good lol
He’s just so laid back, he could be knitting! How to make it look easy…. Obviously it isn’t though.
A lot of ghost notes.
that wasn't really a mess up, it was iust the sound of real drumming that isn't edited to a grid
a real monent as craig reynalds would say, it shows how tight he is knowing that theres no sampling or editing going on
Did he mess up ??? Lol😅
That’s all intentional
anything ii does, is intentional
I hear it!

@@TheOneLTReacts I wanna hear their reaction I don’t need to see it.
I'm confused... You want to hear a reaction and not see a reaction so you turn to a predominantly visual medium to scratch that itch?
