Omg I enjoy this so much, as if I’m not excited enough to see them 3 times this month but your vid and your adoration and excitement are the perfect preparation, thank you so much, lovely freak ♡
I’ve watched his whole Drumeo 4 times now. I’m not even a drummer just a fan of the band, but he is an absolute beast of a player and I can watch him play forever.
5:47 and 59:12 i remember even slowed down the vid to see what he does there and ofc repeated it 20+ times after.Not just another level,thats another dimension drummer.
To hear him speak, he is an educated beautiful man. He is insane on those drums& makes it look effortless& yet we can appreciate that it is not. What I love about him most of all , is how humble he is. A true master of his craft. WORSHIP ❤
One of the most talented drummers I’ve come across. My fave song is Like that, purely for the drumming. I often listen to the instrumental albums to hear the stuff that Vessel sings over. Incredible band, seeing them in November in Manchester. That snare drum sound should have its very own website.
Your 'OOOOOWWHHHHH' @ 11:07 with the bell hit! Classic, actually LOL'd, great react vid man, this hour long Drumeo was mindblowing, II's drumming is incredible!
@joelyjamz joey just bin chopsin on ya channel awesome you young lads an lassers can't fault ya all the FORCE IS STRONG can I say I can play like number 2 not number 1 joey jordison he's amazing but number 2 is QUALITY like I said doing this over 30YRS ago stlye of Drumming this band deserves Rock and ROLL HALL OF FAME MUCH LOVE FROM NE DERBYSHIRE .❤️👍😎
He is just the damn best!!! Please react to his offering of LIKE THAT. I know you've reacted to the song Hypnosis by Sleep Token but his play through of it is insane also. Thanks :)
How about their song "The Offering" from their first album? II goes crazy on the drum fills in that song. The last 1:00 is my favorite specifically for the drums :).@@joelyjamz
I had never heard of this band until the Drumeo video. I was mesmerized listening to this drummer. Suddenly he may have jumped to the top of being one of my favorites.
I love II he is insane, but I do have to say lots of his playing style, is so so similar to Matt Halpern, Jay Postones, the snappy bits very piercing sound on the snare Just very solid, you would really love the two drummers I’ve named Matt Halpern if you don’t know of course is a legend haha
I believe someone commented what snaredrum II is using on the original video. According to them it is a 13" DW Super Solid Edge. I hope this sates your curiousity :) Also kudos to II for literally playing the drums as if they are are a tuned instrument with tonality like say a piano. Pretty much one of the best drummers in the game currently.
@@joelyjamz it certainly is different from all the FOP snare clones that became ridiculously popular back in the early-mid 2000's. Or the 'more room mic than close mic' mixing style that pretty much everyone is aiming for these days
@@joelyjamz ruclips.net/video/nNZlxQmpV8g/видео.html definitely do ;-) it's an instrumental version but makes it so much better as you get to hear II fills so much clearer
I have never played percussion/drums, just have always loved the way the sound of some bands & musicians “feels” when I hear them, so I appreciate hearing someone like yourself who does know what they’re talking about comment on it 😊 For myself, watching ii play, I notice how he is so intentional with this movements, no wasted effort or energy, and an artistic athleticism that it may seem odd to say, but it reminds me of the beauty of a classically trained ballet dancer because they seem to have the same kind of ability to do something with such high technical difficulty and make it as mesmerizing and, like you said, effortless as he makes it look. He’s just stunning
Joely only found Sleep Token by accident Drumeo last week month before GHOST best ever time to find music again SLIPKNOT who SLEEP TOKEN AND ON THAT BOMBSHELL ITS GOOD NIGHT FROM ME AND GOODNIGHT FROM HIM LOL . JUST REMEMBER WITHOUT A DRUMMER THEY ARE NOBODY LOL
The drumming on Atlantic will never cease to amaze me. I don't think it's a full minute of drumming but II makes it COUNT, it turns this smoky and bitter sadness into mercurial fury...until it stops and there's nothing but despair left. Masterful use of dynamics.
An absolute beast! Love this guy. So much flair and groove. He's the real deal. Very tasty playing..high strung snare. Sure comes through in the mix. Reminds me of drummers like John Stanier from Helmet while back and Abe Cunningham from Deftones.. hard-hitting yet very tasty, soulful playing. Insane! High energy. Top tier drumming! He can play any genre...
I think my favorite part about watching him is he makes it just look like breathing. Like some complex function that he doesn't even have to think about, it's just a natural thing. Also very impressed with his speech pattern. Seemed very calculated and captivating. Not a ton of umm's and and's.
I think Jay Postones from TesseracT is right at the top followed by 2 (About best prog drummers in the UK).. There's not a huge gap but in terms of technicality, Jay is a little ahead..
I was so impressed by the fact that II played his own drill beats on the electronic pad. I thought for sure that the beats were produced by a computer, but i was so pleasantly surprised.
This Band as Blown my head off literally I've only just bin playing DRUMS over 40 yrs 56 going on ok they tell me I look 45 👍 only just found GHOST I need to crawl from under my Rock 👍 I can honestly say best Band I've ever heard and that's saying something they make me CRY ERER I'M NOT STUPID OR SOMETHING 👍 IM WATCHING THEM LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND ❤️
I was playing like this over 30YRS ago but non of the bands I was in couldn't handle it lol me Pearl 8 piece db Pastie RUDE nice to see your reaction Lad he's good but number 2 said himself he's not JOEY JORDISON AND neither I'm i , but I could technically teach number 2 a few like wise much love from Ne Derbyshire lad oh just subscribed this band takes me away from everything UNBELIEVABLE ❤oh Phil filthy animal from Motorhead ACE of SPADES ♠️ lived up road from me top Bloke xx

I love watching this so much without being a drummer or even knowing anything about it :D He has quickly become my favourite drummer rn :) To be honest, I do believe that ii has more talent in his right arm than atleast 80% of pop artists haha xd
@@joelyjamz Oh yeah :D listening to you explain what he means in drumming was alot of fun too, I had to google ghost notes etc. to understand what that was but it makes total sense why drummers are in complete awe of ii :) Such a busy playstyle with those added ghost notes and fills and he just makes it work and makes it look effortless, I would lose myself trying to play ST songs :b Just imagine him at the age of drummers like Danny Carey from Tool, the stuff he will be able to do then
II is such a beautiful human being, so humble, so willing to teach, i have had the pleasure of meeting him and can confirm he has waaaaay more in the tank and i cannot wait for every new song released to see what he has in store for us :) 🙌worship🙌
@joelyjamz MASSIVE fan of your content, man. As a new drummer, it's so much fun learning and just losing it to music with you 🤙 hope you're having an awesome day. Much love from the US
Im a big sleep token fan and also a drummer myself, I've watched this video in its entirety several times just for some of the playthroughs, this is literal drum porn
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THE FORCE LOL HES NUMBER 2 BECAUSE NUMBER ONE IS? JOEY JORDISON XX ONLY JUST FOUND GHOST BUT THIS BAND AS MADE MY HEAD FELL OFF , I can play as good as this no problem xx
I've been watching drummers and drummer videos for the last 20+ years - pretty much since you could watch videos on the internet. This video though... Arguably the most satisfying drum porn I've watched my entire life. I am watching it over and over, sending it to people, can't stop showing parts of it to my wife and friends who come over. Like I am some sort of a teen fan or something 😅. He is so thorough and articulate with his explanations as well. Kudos to Drumeo, for putting this together in such a deliberate way and for the insane mixing too.
Very recently fell into the rabbit hole that is Sleep Token's music, and noticed the incredibly tasteful drumming right away. It's very insightful hearing what fellow drummers have to say about II's technique, and what they do similarly/differently in their own music. I think every musician that offered comment about II's playing used the phrase "he makes it look effortless" at least once, hahah! Merry Christmas indeed, this Drumeo video is a whole-ass gift Thank you for the commentary :)
I'm not percussion-inclined so it's so awesome to hear a drummer's take on II's playing. Great watch, man! Edit: Just went and had a cheeky listen to BLVR and holy shit, you guys ROCK!!
Saw them live in Hamburg earlier this month and it was AWESOME! This band is incredible... and the drumming stood out to me big time! II is utterly talented and I was caught off guard by his solo in the "quiet" part of The Summoning! EPIC! WORSHIP 🤘🤘🤘
I know a Suffolk accent when I hear one!! Glad to see it being represented in the Suffolk drummer scene 😂 Never heard of your channel before, but really enjoyed this 👍
I have had some appreciation for drums in the past (Danny Carey, Josh Freese, etc), but II’s sound has done something for me that has made drumming so much MORE.
This was such a treat. RE: 55:22 live drumcam footage of "The Summoning", with solo, courtesy of the band's photographer: ruclips.net/video/sAy2FfAjefU/видео.html
One last comment and I promise, I'll stop... His independence of hands and feet is on a whole different level. Something I, after over 30 years of on and off drumming, have yet to achieve. Disgusting. I've only just in the last couple of days discovered this phenomenal group and am devouring all the content I can find...
I think their whole deal is actually super smart on so many levels. Genius songwriting, like a more evolved Cobain level hooks, monstrous sounding low and heavy guitars, whilst smashing the doors in of other musical genres, and making it hit people in the feels like some kind of neo-gospel type religious experience, with a whole lore which echos of a modern gothic twist on the old Robert Johnson Crossroads story mythology. Like them or not, I say "bra-fvkin-oh!".
@@joelyjamzYup. Fair play to em. I'm a guitarist, but I'll watch the drummer all day long at gigs - Tool, Carey / NIN Josh Freese all stunners.not forgetting Abe Cunningham ,who II shouts out on this. Hope to catch ST in 24.
I´m not a drummer, in fact, not a musician at all... I might be wrong, but doesn´t he even "click" his drumsticks together? It`s mostly seen in parts were the "ghostnotes" can be seen, but once you´ve noticed it you hear it freaquently. But as I wrote, I´m not a musician so this might be normal for drummers! But it sounds similar to ZZ Tops intro in La Grange...
Great video. II is a beast and when he carefully explains how he uses the vocals to figure put syncopation with the guitar or vocals, he inspired a future drummer
I was very surprised when II was introduced as a founding member. As far as I was aware, II joined Sleep Token in 2017 with their second EP called Two. There is no mention of him on the band's debut release in 2016, an EP called One. Only Vessel is credited on there! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I and II are the founding members, all 4 members joined at the same time in 2016 as far as I'm aware. And remember, They work in weird way.. Like not all members are involved in the Albums but come together for stage work.
I can almost guarantee that II will become another of “Your Favorite Drummer’s Favorite Drummer” His playing is going to inspire so many future drummers
I love that everyone has the same reaction to his snare! He's got some beautiful drum cam videos on his insta, Aqua Regia is my personal favourite, his cymbal playing in that one is so melodic 🖤
I like it, too but nobody should forget about good cymbals are more important. They can ruin everything. Really. For example the paiste brass cymbals for aorund 40€'s are sh*t.
Omg I enjoy this so much, as if I’m not excited enough to see them 3 times this month but your vid and your adoration and excitement are the perfect preparation, thank you so much, lovely freak ♡
Too kind and too sweet x
I’ve just watched this reaction 🤣🤣

i appreciate your take ss a drummer and as a fan, its always refreshing to hear others unput and see others joy in the appreciation of drumming.
I appreciate that!
Slam Metal snare sound. Absolutely love it!
Glad you like it!🙌

So solid isn’t he
@@joelyjamz you know of Matt Halpern?
A joey I play single bass like Mr Bonzo that is probably the best Snare sound EVER ❤
Amazing snare sound
I LOVE my 80'S pastie RUDE xx
Great cymbals
that snare needs its own fan page
🔥
PRAISE THE LORD LOL 👍👍

My favorite st songs are take me back to Eden the summoning alkaline hypnosis and chokehold

@@joelyjamz absolutely- also, you should definitely check out their track “Jaws”- one of my favorite for the drumming
Awesome will do
This was the best Christmas present I could have ever gotten. I watched it as it was premiereing. 🥰😍 Omg I'm obsessed
Amazing isn’t it
Better than that
I've learnt all their albums in less than a Week xxx
🙌🙌
Yes absolutely love that deep ride cymbal
The fact that II doesn't even seem to be expending ANY effort while drumming at this level
Amazing
And this interview is the first and only thing even close to a live performance of their songs "Gods" that we've ever seen or heard.
🙌🙌🙌

You need to react to 2s drum solo on "The Summoning"
Yeah I definitely will 🙌
The drumming on Atlantic will never cease to amaze me. I don't think it's a full minute of drumming but II makes it COUNT, it turns this smoky and bitter sadness into mercurial fury...until it stops and there's nothing but despair left. Masterful use of dynamics.
Amazing isn’t it
It's nice to hear a young pup but number 2 he's not much older than you lol 👍👍 keep playing DRUMS all of you you are never to Old to learn ❤

We all need to applaud Drumeo for the production.
❤️
I love watching ii. He always looks SO relaxed! At no time during this interview did he show the great effort that I can only assume he expended.
Unreal drumming wasn’t it
That last song drumming is insane!!!
Yeah he’s a beast isn’t he

He makes it look so effortless.
I love when he's using his right symbols, it's like he's rhythmically caressing them absolutely at ease and comfort.
🙌🙌🙌
The more I listen to Gods the more the hard intro bit sounds like goonzquad from deftones
🙌🙌🙌
He's got a different channel called delta Empire

I think Jay Postones from TesseracT is right at the top followed by 2 (About best prog drummers in the UK).. There's not a huge gap but in terms of technicality, Jay is a little ahead..

He is fantastic!!! Will have to check that sound out 🙌
Cracking video, love the longer more in depth videos 👍🏻👍🏻
He’s awesome isn’t he
I was very surprised when II was introduced as a founding member. As far as I was aware, II joined Sleep Token in 2017 with their second EP called Two. There is no mention of him on the band's debut release in 2016, an EP called One. Only Vessel is credited on there! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
🙌🙌🙌
I and II are the founding members, all 4 members joined at the same time in 2016 as far as I'm aware. And remember, They work in weird way.. Like not all members are involved in the Albums but come together for stage work.
He is god-tier 🙌🏻 Absolutely adore his style and effortlessness.
Couldn’t agree more
I can almost guarantee that II will become another of “Your Favorite Drummer’s Favorite Drummer”
His playing is going to inspire so many future drummers
He is unreal isn’t he
I absolutely love how he can accent parts with the cymbals so effortlessly while still staying in the pocket on the rest of the kit
A good example being the chorus on Take Me Back to Eden
I love that everyone has the same reaction to his snare! He's got some beautiful drum cam videos on his insta, Aqua Regia is my personal favourite, his cymbal playing in that one is so melodic 🖤
The snare just pops so much 🙌🙌
I like it, too but nobody should forget about good cymbals are more important. They can ruin everything. Really. For example the paiste brass cymbals for aorund 40€'s are sh*t.
@@MS-dz1di true - it's one thing I like about ii, his playing is very cymbal focused and he has a looovely collection there
