To be honest, I don't recommend looking up who they are. The point is that the music is more important than their identities, and they want to remain anonymous (which I find really cool)! I think the mystery makes it that much more fun.
@@SimonaDrvek I could make a list of drummers from Vinnie Colaiuta, Matt Garska, etc, but I won't. To be the best drummer means you are the best at every genre and in every situation, from studio to live, that doesn't exist. Music is not a competition, drumming is not a competition. Is he the best metal drummer? Is he the best jazz drummer? What about the best jazz fusión, Latin jazz drummer? That is not how we should see musicians. This is not the Olympics. If you like this drummer you can say he is an amazing drummer, that's it.
@@SimonaDrvek that's why Modern Drummer magazine in their drummers of the year poll, separates drummers into categories, but that's still not an accurate representation of who is the "best" at these music genres. It's just a popularity contest. It shows you who is the popular drummer at the time.
@@rgarcia4412 yes of course, I see your point! I think it's also subjective to a large extent because there are some drummers who are technically on point but their play style just doesn't resonate with me as much 🤷 for me the best drummers are the ones who actually make me feel something and in this aspect, II is top notch for me.
They're individually and collectively one of the if not the most promising bands of the last 10yrs IMO. You can eventually trace who each member is if you follow closely enough to clues. Yes the cymbal chokes are outstanding lol, And they tune hella low. Bassist is in Drop E an octave lower than a standard tuned bass guitar, And guitarist is in Drop E down to bass range. Frigging abysmally low. 😁 Caveat: They also tune lower by a semi tone on this song and others as indicated by brOOtal_bananas below.
@@DennisFeinsteinCEO You're correct, I was moreso indicating the fixed tuning they use live. I know certain songs have octave shifts up/down, And they change tunings between some songs. To enable this without tons of guitar changes they (at least on the 2019 US tour) tuned to Drop E & pitch shifted via Axe-FX to where they needed to be. Not sure what they use nowadays tbh. But yes in this case you're again spot on.
Above all he's calm and relaxed.
Yes! I love how comfortable he is!

Loved it when you said you were proud of him 😊 He’s so awesome
i haven't been obsessed over a band like this since probably tool. absolutely amazing from beginning to end and you can't even categorize them
I feel the exact same way!!
I believe he’s one of the best drummers in the world right now
He is really good, but let's not insult all the better drummers out there
@@rgarcia4412 which ones for example? For me II is the best but I'd like to know who else you consider to be as good as he is

The poor kids gotta be exhausted after ten minutes!

D# actually... It's what I put my 8 string in as soon as I heard them for the first time a few years back 💜🙌
@@DennisFeinsteinCEO
For some songs yep you're 100% correct.
@@BLeeFAFO but this song is as well... Almost everything they do is in Eb/D#

Good morning I'm here to see what you got going on today
II slaps.
Slaps hard
Don’t look for who they are that’s their whole point, being anon. I know who they all are but I won’t share out of respect for the band and fans 🖤
Like you just know from looking it up or you KNOW them 👀 I still haven’t looked.
@@CarlosWadeMusic I know know 🤭
That’s so badass! Did you grow up with them or something?
Dimitark is their drummer.
